OBASANJO SPEAKS TO THE MINDSET OF YORUBAS
OBASANJO: Taking your culture seriously, if anybody says your identity, does not matter, then he wants to enslave you.
why is it important? Because our culture, our tradition, they all embrace the totality of our way of life. They include our language, our food, our dress, our greetings, our all that. And therefore, they actually determine who we are.
It is what differentiates us from other people. It is what determines who we are. Once who we are is extinguished or destroyed, then we are nobody. And you know, that’s the way to enslave any group of people, just obliterate their identity.
That’s why you have people who originally came from Nigeria, from Yorubaland, now they are Mr. Stone in America. Their identity have been destroyed through slavery.”

3. The Eastern House of Assembly
You completely dodged my third question: how many campaigned on the NCNC platform in the East, and did members cross-carpet to the NCNC?
In reality, most members of the Eastern House were elected as Independents in 1951, not on an NCNC slate. Outside of figures like Eyo Ita, the NCNC barely ran an organized campaign in the East because its machinery was concentrated in Lagos (which is why even Lagos Deputy Mayor Mbonu Ojike lost his Eastern constituency to an independent). The NCNC only secured its majority after those independent winners arrived in Enugu and Zik invited them to join the party on the floor to form a government. In fact, this fragile, post-election coalition of independents is a major reason Zik later engineered the 1953 Eastern House crisis: most of the regional ministers had won on their own steam rather than on his coattails, leaving him without the blind personal loyalty he demanded.
(Also, Eastern federal reps were picked in Jan 1952, a full year before the 1953 Eyo Ita crisis.)
Post-election alignments of independents happened in both Enugu and Ibadan. Calling it "statesmanship" in the East and "treachery" in the West does not stand up to the historical record.

Thanks for taking a shot at this, though you spent most of it avoiding the actual questions. Let's take your claims apart one by one:
1. The "Cross-Carpeting" and Seat Count
You've anchored your argument on the AG's September 24, 1951, tally while getting creative with what happened between then and January 1952.
Here are the facts:
- The Sept 24, 1951, Tally: The AG won 38 seats, NCNC 19 (not 24), IPP 6, OIL 2, and Independents 7 (not 2).
The 38 elected AG members were: Obafemi Awolowo, M.S. Sowole (Ijebu Remo), Rev. S.A. Banjo, S.O. Awokoya (Ijebu Ode), Bode Thomas, Abiodun Akerele, A.B.P. Thomas, T.A. Amao, S.B. Eyitayo (Oyo), S.L. Akintola, J.O. Adigun, J.A. Oroge, S.I. Ogunwale, I.A. Adejare, J.A. Ogunmuyiwa (Osun), J.F. Odunjo, Alhaji A.T. Ahmed, Rev. S.A. Daramola, Prince Adedamola (Egba), J.A.O. Odebiyi, D.A. Fafunmi, A. Akin Illo (Egbado (Yewa)), E.A. Babalola, Rev. J. Ade-Ajayi (Ekiti), Chief C.D. Akran, Rev. G.M. Fisher (Badagry), S.O. Gbadamosi, O. Akeredolu-Ale (Ikeja), Rev. S.A. Adeyefa, S.O. Olagbaju (Ife), A.O. Ogedengbe, R.A. Olusa (Owo), Safi Lawal Edu (Epe), C.A. Tewe (Okitipupa), M.F. Agidee (Western Ijaw), Anthony Enahoro (Ishan), Arthur Prest (Warri).
- AG Already Had Its Majority by October 11, 1951: By Oct 11, the AG's total rose to 41 seats after three "independents" (D.S. Adegbenro, S.O. Hassan, and J.O. Osuntokun) formally joined its caucus. All three were already AG divisional secretaries barred from running on the party banner by an internal bylaw prohibiting paid staff from standing as party candidates. They never pledged to the NCNC, so calling them defectors is pure fiction. The AG published their signed loyalty pact in the Daily Times on Oct 11, nearly three months before the House opened, while Zik and the NCNC published nothing and fed their supporters empty promises of "great surprises for the Action Group and their minions" when the House sat. (Sounds familiar? Think 2023 election claims of Peter Obi if you need to jog your memory.) Calling an outright majority built entirely by AG officials "cross-carpeting" is intellectual dishonesty. /1
1. Individuals who “cross-carpeted” to the AG to deny Zik the centre
Elections happened across 3 dates for 80 seats in Western Nigeria:
- September 24th 1951 (72 seats indirect): The AG won 38 seats, NCNC won 24 seats, IPP won 6 seats, Ondo IL won 2, Independent won 2 seats
- November 20th 1951 (5 seats direct): NCNC won all 5 seats in Lagos Colony (FCT)
- December 6th 1951 (3 seats indirect): Otu Edo won all 3 seats
Hence AG failed to achieve 50%+1 majority (41 seats). Cross-carpeting alignments which is typical occurred between then and the Western House’s inauguration on January 7th 1952. These are the defectors:
- 5 of the 6 Ibadan People’s Party (IPP) members (IPP is aligned to NCNC and the Ibadan voters punished all defectors by voting most out in favour of NCNC between 1954-6) joined the AG: A.M.A. Akinloye, S.O. Lanlehin, D.T. Akinbiyi, S.A. Akinyemi, and Moyosore Aboderin. The 6th, Adegoke Adelabu, stayed with the NCNC.
- 1 of the 3 Otu Edo, Ighodaro defected to AG. Otu Edo was aligned to NCNC since they supported Humphrey Omo Osagie to prevent the onslaught of Obaseki’s BDPP backed by AG against the then ceremonial Oba Akenzua of Benin and restored his full traditional powers. This birthed renewed agitation for Midwest to include Western Igbos(Anioma)
• Other AG-aligned independents defected, giving it a working majority.
Additionally and separately, around the 8–10 January 1952 Western House vote selecting the two Lagos representatives for the federal House of Representatives, 3 NCNC members from the Midwest (Kukuruku and Urhobo divisions) — S.Y. Kesington-Momoh, Awodi Orisaremi, and J.G. Ako also crossed toward the AG. These 3 defections don’t matter but those from IPP and Otu Edo
After the 1951 elections into the newly reconstituted Regional House of Assembly as per the MacPherson Constitution, there were two stakes for Azikiwe to maintain his frontline political stature fighting for self government for the people of Nigeria; Western Legislature & Central Legislative (House of Representatives)
Keeping in mind that this was the 1st time native Nigerians were elected to the Regional House as previous members were appointed as official or un-official members by the British; this was also the 1st time Lagos was to be administered as part of Western Nigeria; voting in the Western Region was indirect electoral college whereas voting in Lagos colony was direct
2. Was it fair to expect Dr. Olorun-Nimbe to step aside?
Yes, Olorun-Nimbe of NCNC was already Mayor of Lagos Town Council at the time (1950-53). Why should he proceed to the House of Representatives in January 10th 1952 and block Azikiwe when Azikiwe was better suited as he has been the Rep member since 1947. That there, is the machination of the AG to exploit Olorun-Nimbe’s greed and block Azikiwe from the House Rep. His Deputy Mayor was Maazi Mbonu Ojike. Why did Olorun-Nimbe not resign for Mbonu Ojike to step in as Mayor when he moved to House of Rep?
Even when Adeleke Adedoyin of NCNC who was also chosen for House of Rep offered to step down for Azikiwe to proceed to House of Rep and he would be Mayor, Olorun Nimbe refused
The five NCNC winners of the Lagos seats (November 20th 1951) were Nnamdi Azikiwe, Dr. Abubakar Ibiyinka Olorun-Nimbe (incumbent Mayor of Lagos and the only indigenous Lagosian among the five), Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, T.O.S. Benson, and H.P. Adebola.
Under the Macpherson Constitution, only 2 of the 5 Lagos seats could proceed to the federal House of Representatives; the Western House of Assembly (where the AG held the majority) acted as the electoral college. NCNC leadership preferred Azikiwe + Adedoyin. The AG-controlled House instead selected Adedoyin + Olorun-Nimbe.
Olorun-Nimbe refused to step down, preferring to combine the Mayoralty of Lagos with a federal seat contrary to NCNC wishes. He was later expelled from the party.
Azikiwe remained Leader of the Opposition in the Western House until he moved to the East.

Anambra and Imo were created in 1976, Abia was created in 1991, Ekiti and Ebonyi were created in 1996.
You can see that Ebonyi is not in the picture, because that one nah backwater state even their fellow igbo no rate am.
But Ekiti a state, a state created in 1996 can be competing with Imo and Anambra created 20 years before it, and Abia created 6 years before it, and you can't really bring out any meaningful metrics to beat Ekiti then you should just shut your mouth and bury your head in shame.
Ekiti even has better budget performance index, better standard of living, better employment opportunity, better life expectancy rate. (that is why ya all flock there like pest) even with the state not having Oil or gas, then you should be ashamed of yourselves.

AA Sule, the Governor of Nasarawa State @NasarawaGovt has been reported to impose a candidate on the Agatu people of Nasarawa State
According to Agatu culture, when the King Dies, the Omadachi becomes king, yet the Governor has overridden this practice and set up a sham election committing sacrilege on Agatu culture and tradition while ignoring the Omadachi (Joseph Eigege)
This is a reason why settlers should never rule in states outside their ethnicity
The Governor of Nasarawa must stop interfering with the practices of the Agatu people
Joseph Eigege must be made the rightful ruler of the Agatu Kingdom

Similar to what happened in Ilorin, those kingdom seeking alliance with the caliphate saw it from a lens of religious ideology and strategy but the Fulani saw it from an ethnic perspective but covertly hid it behind Pan-Islamism……religious brotherhood is a scam lol, wake up!!!
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Nufāwī, also known as Dan Tsatsa, was a Nupe Islamic scholar and military leader.
He visited Dan Fodio and pledged his allegiance, and was given a flag to spread the jihad in Nupe. He was successful at first, occupying the Nupe capital, Mokwa, for six months, but was unable to hold it and had to appeal for external assistance from Sokoto. After the death of Dan Fodio in 1817, Malam Dendo, who was a Fulani leader, was endorsed as the primary leader for Nupe by the Caliphate. The shifting politics placed him at odds with Dendo, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān was murdered three years later.
Pan Africanists are mostly retards masquerading as intellectuals. The rest are just easily misguided folks with good intents & weak self awareness
You see what Pan africanism does, to peoples brain.
The irony is that some of these self-proclaimed Pan Africanists have never bothered to read the foundational literature of the very movement they claim to represent.
If they actually studied its history, they would discover that early Pan African thinkers were far from ideologically uniform. Some adopted Eurocentric assumptions about African societies, occasionally portraying indigenous African traditions as backward or in need of Western style civilization.
They would also discover that certain Pan African organizations and initiatives received financial or institutional support from white philanthropists and other Western sponsors.
Yet these same people have the audacity to dismiss established African ethnic identities as European inventions while treating Pan Africanism as some ancient, indigenous African identity.
The primary objective of European colonialism was not to create new African ethnic identities. It was to conquer existing African societies, dismantle independent political institutions, and establish colonial systems that served European economic and strategic interests.
And one of the most consequential methods was the partitioning and political reorganization of Africa.
During the Scramble for Africa, European colonial powers drew boundaries that divided historically connected ethnic populations while forcing other communities, sometimes with competing political interests and little shared history, into the same colonial territories.
The result was the fragmentation of existing peoples and the creation of colonial states designed primarily around European interests rather than African self-determination.
Consider Nigeria. The British amalgamated the Northern and Southern Protectorates in 1914, bringing numerous distinct peoples and political traditions under one colonial administration.
These communities did not suddenly acquire a common ancestry, history, or political identity simply because the British placed them inside the same territorial boundaries.
Colonial authorities also weakened existing African political institutions, imposed new administrative structures, and redirected economic activity toward supplying European industries with agricultural commodities, minerals, and other resources.
The long-term consequences were significant.
Colonial boundaries sometimes intensified political competition, disrupted older relationships between communities, and created conditions for ethnic tensions and struggles over political power after independence.
Such divisions could obstruct national development and make it more difficult for newly independent states to establish stable institutions.
And economic dependency created another problem.
Even after formal independence, many African economies remained heavily dependent on exporting raw materials while importing manufactured products, preserving unequal economic relationships inherited from colonial rule.
European powers and businesses could continue benefiting from those relationships without directly administering the territories.
This is why I reject the simplistic argument that Europeans invented African ethnic identities to unite Africans.
Colonialism did precisely the opposite: it disrupted existing political structures, divided historically connected populations, and incorporated diverse communities into colonial states.

Nothing bad at all. Azikiwe our first ever President was Ibo.
Our VP in the Second Republic Alex Ekeweme was Ibo
Our first ever military Head of State,Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi. was Ibo.
Our first ever Senate President of Nigeria , Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was Ibo.
Dennis Osadebay another senate president was Ibo.
Nwafor Orizu a Senate President was Ibo.
The first Senate President of the Fourth Republic, Evan Enwerem was Ibo.
After him was another Ibo, the charismatic Chuba Okadigbo.
After him another Ibo, the stabilizer, Anyim Pius Anyim.
Then right after him another Ibo, Adolphus Wabara.
The we had Ken Nnamani who opposed OBJ and stood on the side of history to reject the "third term agenda".
So Ibos have lead us. Especially in positions where it mattered the most—the national assembly where the laws that govern us as a people are made.
It is fallacious to assume that Peter Obi is the first man to want lead us.
Yorùbás can allow Charlatans like Obi to be governor especially when making a point, but we will never present a character like Peter Obi to the centre. Never!
Let the North speak for themselves
The first issue is that @PeterObi can not be house boy to all these Ibo great men politically. What is his pedigree? Who is he in the grand scheme of things?
Secondly, what is the value of the Ibo vote in Nigeria? Ziltch, nothing, zero. It doesn't matter if the entire 20 million of you vote, it still wouldn't amount to anything. The South South has electoral value than the Ibos.
Thirdly, what is the economic value of the Ibos, take them out of Nigeria and everyone will pause for a second, observe and continue as if nothing happened.
An example is the "Sit-at-home" that went on for 5 years. It paralyzed the economy of the entire South East but was so insignificant that the rest Nigeria did not notice anything was amiss. What we did notice was an avalanche of Ibos trouping to the SW and other parts of Nigeria enmass to escape their economically dry region.
Obi Epitomises everything that was wrong with the "Sit-at-home".
Fourthly, all the positions that Ibos held previously were "dashed". They didn't have to work for it because they pitched camp with the PDP who used them as low end side chicks.
When APC took over, everything was based on merit and the amount of contributions to the party's success at the polls. The Ibos once again made a suicidal political choice by rejecting APC and presenting the lamest of candidates—Peter Obi.
Lastly, no one forgets history.
Even as Ibo leaders tried under OBJ and Jonathan to erase history from our schools, we will never forget.
It wasn't about the Coup in January 1966. It was the malicious intent and manner it was carried out and the subsequent and utter greed at appropriating everything to themselves. We saw it in '66, we saw it again under Jonathan we see it in MDAs that Ibos are appointed and have authority.
The other regions are weary of another charlatan like Obi. Even as brilliant as Soludo is, if he runs it will take everything for him to be accepted because of history; how much less a
man whose personal advisors are mad men.
