Do you expect him to use his regional money or treasure to take care of other regions when Okpara was your own premier, Zik was a deputy to Tafawa Balewa despite his high level of education, he served under Tafawa without official engagements, did you listen to the narrative where they said Awolowo wanted to joined NNPC, but Zik didn't support Awolowo but rathered collided with NPC, because he thought he can manipulate Tafawa Balewa because of his low in education line, Those people who are fighting then are the suppers of AG, and you heard that there was election malpractice and not allowed other party to participate. Now what is going on in the Eastern part is even worst than what happened in Western Region. Please enough is enough, and during the time of Awolowo, many of your people trooped to the to educate their children because it was free and medical was also free, did you heard that Awolowo said only Yoruba only to enrolled at school then, unlike one of your governors in East who said all Abia indigenes should vacates their position from all ministries in the state because are not the indegene.

If Awolowo has not been jailed before the 1965 western house election, Akintola's party and federal government would have also used the arson that follows the outcome of the rigged election by Akintola and his party against Awolowo being an ally of the central government, Akintola. They used their might as government in power to silent Action Group as a party and Awolowo as a person. But God prevail on them because of their wuruwuru way of the whole thing.

Akintola is from the Ogbomosho town; an area in the present day Oyo state in the Yoruba part of Nigeria. Yoruba land is the South Western part of Nigeria. Certainly that's how Ogbomosho people wear their tribal marks. Let me mention that I don't know if it's all Ogbomosho people that wear their tribal marks like that. It's possible it's all, it's even possible that it's the whole of Oyo state that wears their tribal marks like that, including Ibadan; Ibadan is a town in Oyo state as well, in fact it's the capital of Oyo state.

I thought yoruba claimed to be united while 'Ibo' are disunited. Oyo vs Ibadan, Ibadan vs Ijebu, Ife vs modakeke have always been the bane of yoruba unity but instead of tackling their problems they are more interested in pointing finger hypocritically to the East.

@Xxx Xxx there is nothing like regional government in Nigeria yet so chill. You wont have to remind us as soon as it's established with a port close by.

The problem came between Awolowo and Akintola as a result of the evil work of northern Alfas seated on awo canting disagreement in the midst of Yorubas which disunited Yorubas. This thing is still working till today. We heard that the northern Alfa ori-awo took the pictures of Awolowo and AKintola and turned their pictures back to back against each other tied it, chanted quarrelling between this two great men. That was the reason for their Unended disagreement between them till both of the died. We must pray today to stop the evil work as their evil was did not stop on only Awolowo and Akintola alone but on all Yorubas till today. Some people said, it was the course emanated from Alafin Aole and Afonja still working. Please men of God, whichever religion you belong to, pray to reverse all these evil chants of long standing on Yorubas so that Yorubas will agree to move forward.

The political unrest in SW(Yoruba land) was one of the main reasons for the January coup and Chief Awolowo was to be made the president if the coup was successful.

Awolowo realised in good time that our agenda in the Western region was remarkably different from that of the Northern hegemony. We wanted education and true freedom and democracy for our people, whereas the North preferred, and still prefers, feudalism. Akintola's ambition made him the Judas. Tinubu reminds me of modern day Akintola of the yoruba people. The Basorun Gaa of Bourdillon

Ojukwu took you to war, and Kanu is a swindler. You forgot so soon. The other day, when we fought Jonathan on oil subsidy, Ngozi Okwonjo Iweala said no ibo person would join the protest.

Awolowo was never a saint yoruba historians painted him to be. Having read some of his books and watch some of his speeches, I tell you, his boy TINUBU took after him. What Tinubu is doing now was right out of Awolowos play book. Same with Mandela, they believed they had the right vision for their people and have no qualms using violence to get it done even if the people say no. Awolowo had been using thugs for ages and betraying his kinsmen if it propels him towards his goal. But as God will have it, he never became the prime minister he was eyeing. The same faith await Tinubu. Never to become the president.
