This was how Peter Obi fixed erosion as the Governor of Anambra state 😂

“I developed what we are using to fight erosion in Nigeria today. I did it working with the four Ministers of Environment!”

@grok @beet_kon @grok Let's talk about Fawzi al-Qawuqji. Was he a member of the Nazi Wehrmacht and what was his rank? Also, in the 1948 Palestine War, what was his role?

[Remi @tolutee]

@grok @beet_kon @grok Did some of these Muslim SS members relocate to the Middle East and participated in the Arab wars against Israel?

[Remi @tolutee]

@grok @beet_kon Let’s ask @grok more questions on this: Were there Muslim SS squad?

@_theboyisgood_ Still waiting for your response

[Remi @tolutee]

@_theboyisgood_ I have some questions for you with respect to your tweet:

1. Can you name the individuals who “cross-carpeted” to the Action Group (AG) to deny Zik the opportunity to go to the center?
2. Of the five members elected to represent Lagos in the Regional House, only two could proceed to the center. The party’s NNDP faction, composed mainly of Lagosians, nominated Dr. Olorun-Nimbe, the only indigenous Lagosian among the five. Was it fair to expect him to step aside so that Zik could take one of Lagos’s seats at the center?
3. Of all the members elected to the Eastern House, how many campaigned on the NCNC platform? Did any members “cross-carpet” to the NCNC after the election?

Thank you as you provide the responses!

November/December 1951: The Election Realities of Azikiwe being brought into Western Region by Bode Thomas and Awolowo
Chief Obafemi Awolowo formally launched the Yoruba-centric Action Group (AG) in March 1951 to secure a regionalist grip on the West. While the AG captured the wider Western provinces, Awolowo and the AG were soundly defeated by the NCNC in Lagos. Azikiwe and his NCNC team cleanly swept all 5 available Lagos municipal seats as they had always won since 1947. Zik did not "invade" the West; he won the exact same metropolitan backyard he had represented since 1947.

January 1952: Awolowo's targeted entrapment of Azikiwe (not NCNC) as Western Opposition Leader after AG failing to NCNC in Lagos
Because the NCNC won all five Lagos seats (Azikiwe, Adedoyin, Olorun-Nimbe, Davies & Benson), Awolowo could not stop the NCNC from nominating the 2 federal representatives (not ministers) for Lagos. Out of those 5 Lagos seats in the Western House, only 2 seats were allocated in constitution to "proceed" to the central (federal) House of Representatives. However, the Macpherson policy required the Western Region House to act as an electoral college and vote on which Lagos rep members advanced to the central House of Representatives (Not Ministerial). Awolowo used the AG’s wider regional majority in the Western House, after drafting minor independent candidates who cross-carpeted to the AG to exploit internal rivalries from an ethic lens. By utilizing willing, ambitious voices inside Zik’s own NCNC party (specifically Adedoyin and Olorun-Nimbe, who refused to step down for their leader Azikiwe to proceed to federal), Awolowo coordinated a vote for alternative NCNC members who are not Azikiwe. This targeted maneuver successfully blocked Azikiwe personally from retaining his central/federal seat he held since 1947.

What Azikiwe’s lockout meant for the nationalist struggle:
Locking the nation's foremost radical nationalist out of the central government (legislature) effectively decapitated the pan-Nigerian independence movement at the federal level. The British successfully forced "semi-responsible government" on a fractured center where the true heads of the major political parties (NCNC, NPC, AG) sat in regional houses rather than the federal cabinet. This structural paralysis meant that from January 1952 until early 1953, the central house was plagued by inter-regional friction, as ministers felt loyalty to their regions rather than a unified Nigerian nation. The NCNC high command quickly recognized that the Macpherson Constitution was an existential threat to unified independence and resolved to break it from within by paralyzing at least one region, the Eastern Region where it wielded enormous political influence and NCNC leader Eyo Ita, Head of Government in the Eastern Region would be seen to unsuccessfully rebel against Azikiwe to stop the NCNC 1952 Jos convention resolve to bring down the MacPherson Constitution .

Why is Alaafin’s oriki Woru kusu, Omo Woruku sabi?

Is this oriki Yoruba?

Is it possible that the Atiba lineage is different from that of Oloyo?

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

If you take “Ronu” as a slur, omoluabi ko ni e, because that ethos is built on introspection.

If you let others define your identity and then help them defend that misrepresentation, odale Yoruba ni e.

Yoruba Ronu, 62 years since Pa Hubert Ogunde released the song and the play, that call to retrospection, has lasted through times. Politics will not steal it away from us.

@chikeozulumba If bigotry is making sure Obi does not come near the Presidency, guilty as charged. Keep crying 😢

[Remi @tolutee]

Nobody owes him that. He and other representatives from Lagos stood for that election in the regional house & he lost. That’s democracy. He could have remained in the Western House as a member of the house but he chose to go back to the East to manipulate ethnic sentiments against Eyo Ita & the Efiks. Zik’s tribalism was his choice. It was no one’s fault,

[Remi @tolutee]

Zik contested an election on the floor of the Western House of Assembly and lost. That is democracy. The law guarantees you the right to contest, not the right to win. Demanding that Yorubas should have elected Zik to prove they were not tribalistic is stupid.

It’s the same nonsense we keep hearing about Peter Obi. We will not abandon our democratic choice to enthone your Agulu messiah. Just as we did with Zik, we will exercise our democratic right to make sure he gets nowhere near the presidency.

E ma ke ku ni!

[Adunni$$ @Adunnishadollar]

If a people has a strong desire to replace you in every aspect, it's not unification; it's erasure and extinction.
You will never erase us under the “one Nigeria” banner. Your ancestors tried and failed; you will always fail.

God bless Awolowo.
