This great Nigerian Born leader and AWOLOWO andDR KWAME NKRUMAN fought the colonial masters to get us our freedom ,why is it so difficult for us to unite and make their struggle and dream of a great AFRICAN CONTINENT be in vain. Come on and step up to the plate,the new generation of born leaders were are waiting for your arrival.
@maryclaret1991: So he met Dubois, no wonder that was where he got his snobishness from. Dubois was hell bent on destroying Marcus Garvey of Jamaica. Dubois called Garvey illiterate and a gangster. Not as educated as Dubois, but Garvey's business acumen was ten times better. Garvey started the famous shipping line called the Black Star. In the end, where did all Dubois' education take him? We should learn to respect one and other. Beign educated doesn't mean you are smarter than anyone. Get it?
@igbos27: Colossus indeed at failure. he kissed balewa's ass for so long and wind up as second fiddler. Igbos don't even want to produce another leader like him.
He lied and lied to d igbos, used igbos for political gains. He had d federal government built d only university in eastern region in hus vilage, Nsukka. This man desserted the igbos during d war. His many so called newspapers, not even one survives today.. Chinyelugo.
@Fontabele biko, do some research before u write. Zik is not from nsukka. He didn't desert the Igbos during the war. na wah o. please pick up a book and read before u come on youtube.
Thanks to all of you dt are ready to say the truth about your origin. Nigeria is (honestly speaking) dear to most of us only in the contest of One Afrika ... If Azikiwe had'nt left Ghana the time he did ... & if he hadn't left Lagos the time he did ... he may not have been alive to be d ZIK we know 2day. Ask Lumunbar of Congo, ask Steve Biko and Adegoke Adelabu what happened to them. Mandela was a chip of Biko. He is alive to be the Mandela. No need of dieing in cold hands! Wisdom is the reason.
d bio glosses over a few very important matters. What happened btween Zik being leader of d opposition in d Western region and his switching over 2 d Eastern Region to b its political head. That story cud teach us a whole lot. d bio admits that the military ousted Zik and co in 1966. d question is 'why'. Were they running the country efficiently n examplarily? did d army boys inexplicably go mad? let's stop d hero worship. Zik's generation failed us. If they didn't, 9ja'll b working right now
@kemetan dude you are funny. Regardless of what their aims were and whether he was serving the country right or not, him as the president shouldn't have be ousted.
Nigerian tribal division was a factor. The muslim (especially the hausa) could not stand a smart Igboman as their president. The muslim believe they were born to rule others not tonbe ruled. lol.
@impodds. i appreciate d lighthearted tone of ur reply; debates needn't always b heated. let me say, though, dat d coup dat ousted zik was not a tribal one. Nzeogwu was infact an igbo. hausa boys actually went with him 2 kill ahmadu bello; but zik was not even hurt. d guy, ironsi, who gaind power 4rm dis coup was also igbo. so how was this about 'tribal division' and 'muslim belief in ruling others'? dat generation let us down, u had better stop 'worshipping' any of them. much love.
Ndi Igbo, jikotanu onwe unu onu. Unu ghara akpiri ego. Hu onwe unu nanya, unu mara Nwanne unu. Lenu otu Britain na America si asopuru onwe ha. Jikotanu onwe unu onu.
Zik was and is a colossus! The way Nigerians are going, they may not produce another leader to match the man in the next 100 years (that is if there could still be Nigeria then). He is always in the first 3 in Africa, no matter who counts!
This a great stuff you did here... i just finshed watching a video about Abraham Lincoln and I tried to see if I'll see something about my country on youtube and fortunate I found this! Beautiful!
ey peeps go on ma account n watch IBB interview (parody).. its good to laff :-)
