I do think you should understand the context of this interview,Nigeria operated a regional government then where he was the leader of the northern region.Igbos dominated the civil service in the north where northerners were poor .As a leader he has to address that that and he was killed by the people he criticized.
@@hysn9613 What context are you referring to ? Are northerners more educated today in Nigeria? He revealed his hatred toward the Igbo. When the Igbo talk about marginalization this is exactly what they are inferring. The domination he was pointing out was the Igbo's risk-taking. Nothing more
@@malachichukwu1578 i think you are misunderstanding him we had regional government the ones most of you igbos are clamouring for. Every region would not allow its people dominating its armed forces,businesses,economy, government institutions. Igbos dominated the north and his people were uneducated he seeked to change it. You know the igbos would not allow northerners in its army but northerners allowed it. He had to change it . This is the regional government you are clamouring for now and if given all regions will priotize its people and this is the same thing we would experience. He was the prime minister of the northern region not Nigeria at that moment.We had igbos everywhere in the north , was that allowed in the east then. Would azikwe have allowed northerners in the army of the eastern region. You cant eat your cake and have it. If you want a regional government then know then know each region would have to give special tretments to its people
@masudsaleh5155 The unification decree was indeed a big mistake, but has ANY Igbo man ruled Nigeria since 1966? The Northerners and some South Westerners led Nigeria since 1966 and look at where we're at now. It's not even as if the unification decree couldn't have been reversed, but the leaders we've had since Ironsi's demise have proven to be the most incompetent.
@@E_Moon-1I am an Isoko man . No member of my tribe has ruled Nigeria. That doesn’t make me less Nigerian. The Igbos should stop this low level reasoning and join the fight for restructuring. The Igbos must learn how to subsume their greed and arrogance and learn to work with others . As soon as the oil wells in the present River state became functional , the Igbos had a premature ejaculation and we are still paying the price for that orgasm.
@@avigrett1484 Igbo people are not ruling Nigeria. Stop your obsessing over us. We have no control over the direction of the country, because we don't control it. All we can do is look out for ourselves. For as long as people like you, conspire to keep us out of the reigns of power, you cannot blame us for anything. Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani people have ruled this country since it's inception, yet you say, Nigeria is what it is, because Igbo people are greedy and arrogant? That makes no sense. Blame the people in power, for the state of the nation. Igbo people have NOTHING to do with Nigeria, and we don't owe the people that committed genocide against us, ANYTHING! Shameless man. You aspire to exterminate an entire people, then turn around and demand those people you murdered, help you. We don't owe you ANYTHING. You should be begging us for our forgiveness, not making demands.
The Sardauna of Sokoto made a perfect and accurate diagnosis which many refuse to accept today. Nigeria's problem is NOT poor leadership, bad constitution, failing economy, systemic corruption, etc. The problem with Nigeria can be summarized in 4 sentences: I: Unless a society runs a merit-based system, all sectors deteriorate. II: Nigeria tried merit before and ended up with Igbos leading EVERY sector (economy, education, military, science, transport, trade etc). III: Nigeria refuses to go back to merit because of 'risk' of Igbo domination. IV: Nigeria cannot improve, because it cannot run a merit-based society. Igbo people (the engine of Nigeria’s advancement), are stifled by an Islam-motivated cabal which prefers power to meritocracy. Igbo ostracisation is the main reasons for Nigeria’s irreversible backwardness. SUMMARY: Nigeria is in a catch-22. Institute merit and Igbos inevitably become the top dogs. Deny merit and Nigeria goes to the dogs. SOLUTION: The only way forward is Igbo autonomy or independence. Otherwise neither Igbos nor Nigerians can make much progress.
Anne Francis Elizabeth...the Igbos dominate a merit-based system not because they are cleverer or more able than the rest of Nigeria but because having a domination agenda they exploit any open system.
Not true merit is the Monopoly of anyone.. I went to Fgc kano coming straight from India as my dad got posted back to Nigeria, he made three of us go to Fgc kano.. Surprisingly it was very mixed.. Scholarship merit was spread.. Now especially brilliant were folks from benue state..
In the face of what looks like limited opportunity for success and stringent conditions for employment into government controlled sectors, I have not seen Igbos going to other regions to either beg nor use violence to acquire properties from host communities. Nigerians were quick to forget that the Igbos' assets were seized in some parts of the country, a few received 20 pounds only in returning for any thousands or millions they held in banks prior to the civil war, no proper government funded infrastructure in their region, nearby seaports (about 3 of them) were closed down; they were barred from building powerplants nor generating power electricity to power their industries . Yet without being hostile (in my opinion), they have managed to make a living out of the little businesses established across the country. More questions need to be asked about what the rest of the country did with all the moneys that were confiscated from Igbos soon after the war, especially by those from the north. Most Igbo men and women I know are mainly interested in finding suitable climate to conduct their businesses, and have no time dominating anyone. Out of experience I would say that the Igbos even help and employ some of the locals in the communities where they operate, whereas some who hate Igbos use agencies of government like the internal revenue services to oppress and harassment harmless business owners. I wish Nigerians can be fair in their judgement of issues and channel their energy in acknowledging the contributions Igbo and the rest of other ethnic groups make to this country, rather than attack and harass eachother.
We have witness what Ahmadu Was saying... This 2023 election make mst of us the Yoruba realize The man is saying the truth...Igbo really want to dominate Lagos the Yoruba land...
@@ahmedebun2956please stop selling your properties to ndigbo to avoid all these unnecessary suspicion. And also tell your people to be more competitive and hardworking in order to match ndigbo in all the businesses that we dominate. Until the above and many more are done you will continue to complain about Igbo dominance till eternity.
Since they are afraid of the Igbo dominance, why not let them go, so they can dominate themselves? Why force them to be where they don't want to belong to? That is cowardice
Because it's not enough. They want to dominate the igbos so that can feel better about themselves. They want to "SHOW DEM PEPPER". But it will never work no matter how hard they try and that's what kills them.
@@TheDesim72 You need to understand the background and the content then when he made the statement.

@@fataiadegbenro984 Are you alright at all? It's a shame you could not rationalise a simple statement. The annoying thing is that you just complicated a simple statement just to sound intelligent. Question for you, if what this man was preaching is northern economic empowerment rather than hate, why would he now go and look for a Non-Nigerian like a white man and give him the job instead of any other Nigerian? His mindset is why Nigeria didn't get anywhere. Either you live as one, or you don't!
@@chizion4022 again your inability to be intellectually curious is not my problem but let me answer your question in a simple language. If a rabbit is eating your crop will you go and bring another rabbit into the firm or rather introduce something that can counter the energy and zeal of the rabbit. Please let that sink into your brain cells. The last time I checked my history book it was an ibo military man that poured silver metals into this man and his friends and silent them for eternity...now who hate who? Are you still there?
No one is afraid of the ibo, honestly left for me I'll be glad but guess what we all messed up NIGERIA together and we will fix it together and then we can decide what is next agenda but for now am sorry you are stuck here
Imagine his mindset towards the Igbos. One of the most hard working tribes in the world. All I see here is a lazy tribe demonizing the Igbos. Pure envy.
It is awfully clear that the northerners were intimidated by the Igbos, hence tried to limit them. You can't enslave a man that works with his hands and bows to no man like himself blindly.
I always cherish the pronouncements of brave men like Eyinaya Abaribe, who is my hero. "An Ibo man does not bow to any man but his Chi" Now, that's powerful. I like that. That puts him well on another level taking all the Ibos with him. The Foolanis were deathly stung by it and are still struggling with that, especially the mugu (mumu) Garbage Shehu, (the one Yorubas call Ode) who opened the Pandora box by calling Abaribe a fool. Only Providence knows when the desert snakes will recover from the blow. Next time, they won't throw such reckless political wild punches towards a Mohammad Ali of Politics. "If you can't be a good player on the field, be a good cheerleader on the sideline." SASHA! Sorry, Dr. Damages.
@@RhyneDavidson There is something about being black that I still don't understand. Nigeria was above places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, India, UAE, Vietnam in the recent past, Today, they have outpaced Nigeria in development. The only difference is skin color.
To me this video is the art of projection at work. He's trying to characterize the igbos in a way that is actually reflective of the fulani psyche. He's saying its bad which means hes acknowleding indirectly that the fulani way is bad
That's not where it's started, try to understand what lead to such statement, and the circumstances at that period. We were under regional government at this point Every region is growing and controlling it's resources Yet, the ibo still were dominant in the northern civil service meanwhile you were supposed to be regional oriented government caring mostly for your people You can't have others dominating you then you are taking advantage of So content matter and Sense of history is relevant as well
@@fataiadegbenro984 I believe this is a tribalistic concept. Which is fine to have. If that is the case, why invite Igbos over if you deem them to be second class citizens. Why even pretend to be a country. It is this mindset that sparked the coup de tat by the Igbo Militia. Not that I support the Militia, but you can clearly see that, this thinking is extremely negative to our society
@@pinujay959 let look at this in the context of the time them, this was in the time of regional autonomy when every region was on it's own in every respect but the northern civil service was dominated by the Ibos, then Saudauna being a politician found it unacceptable and undemocratic so he campaigned on the theme northernization to put a northerners first before any other nigeria which is the policy in the East and the West so then why should the north be exception? I think it's a good policy then but not now and it's ingenious to look at it in today's nigeria. That's why we need to go back in history and understand at what circumstances were those statements made
@@fataiadegbenro984 My Brother. He did not make all these claims in the video. He clearly stated that Igbos are ambitious and always want more. As if that is a bad thing. You stated that Saudauna found the Igbos dominating the civil service undemocratic. Isn't that quite the irony. How can the Igbos dominate in a foreign land if its own people did not permit them to do so. It is not like the Igbos have the capacity to oppress the North in any shape or form. Just look at Borno when Igbos were there and now... maybe that will make more sense to you. Check Kaduna then and now... see how the economies have tanked. Let's not deviate from the issue in this video. This is what sparks the outrage from Igbos. I am ok with putting Northerners first in their region. But Igbos NEVER took ownership of any Hausa owned business or political position, NOT ONCE. The Igbos thrived in the North because their skill in commerce was profound which has them excelling in not just Nigeria but in countries like China where some Chinese even go as far as learning Igbo in order to do business with the Igbos there. This perception of the Igbos persists till this day, and why they are persecuted around the world. It is this same mindset that caused the Nazi's to assault the Jews in Europe essentially chasing them from there. Yet the Jews are one of the most successful people when they were accepted in the US, UK and their homeland Israel. The Westerners, instead of hating on the Jews have used the Jews to improve their nations. Igbos are like the Jews, always concerned with acquiring wealth and doing better than where they once were. It is a lifestyle. You don't have to emulate it, but don't persecute them for something that does you NO HARM whatsoever.
Anyway, if you guys are truly so scared of Igbo domination the do this. When Ghanains flooded into Nigeria and people complained, they solved this by expelling Ghanians back to Ghana, but this can't be done to Igbos because we are supposedly "One Nigeria", expel them from their region and they will come back. So Igboland(The regions of Nigeria will Significant Igbo populations) should be given its complete and total Independence/Autonomy, that way you can deport all the Igbos to Igboland and keep them there so that you don't have to fear "Igbo domination" anymore.
Do you not know that the North tried several times to expel Igbo's but the Igbo's refuse to leave till today? the question is if you do not like Igbo land and you insists on roaming around the globe setting up shops because of your love of money and lest not forget drug smuggling etc... where will you go after you are granted. independence? we suspect nothing will change, cos you will still remain in the North and around the globe and continue to be nuisance, do Nah... we are not buying it, Nne Nyem muri, biko nu.... does that ring a bell? (Inyamuri)..
@@princessnyeni5548 I will tell you exactly why we are in the north. Some of these reasons are being solved but you don’t just teleport from where you came from. 1. No international airport for cargo. Igbo people are business and we could ignore the north and do business with the rest of the world. But instead the government only really allowed Lagos, Abuja and Kano to work as top class airports. 2. No world-class seaport in east. 3. Closure of our industries. The government has closed 100s of industries in Aba and other places in Igboland. Then you ask us why we go looking for employment elsewhere? Our industries are LESS diverse than in 1960s. Let that sink in. And it isn’t our doing. 4. Economic war. Everywhere Igbo are heavily financially involved the government closes that avenue for example closure of digital cryptocurrency. 5. Administrative purposes. If the Igbo are part of this singular country of course they would be everywhere. It is illegal to “expel” the Igbos when you are in the same country! In all you have come here to rant about how you have committed crimes against igbo people and they have resisted you. And you think there would be LESS Igbo with you if you KEEP THEIR LAND IN THE SAME COUNTRY? You are ridiculous.
@@princessnyeni5548 it'll be good to understand the context of independence. I'm not sure what part of Nigeria that you're from,however, would you tell me that no one, not even a single breathing being from your tribe is in another country, in another part of the globe? Why is the person there then? Why not in your state? Why is the person hustling to make money in another part of the world that's not their hometown?
Someone tell me what’s wrong in working hard to stand out and gain distinction. What’s the hall mark of any dedication and focus . Is it morally wrong to try to be ambitious ? I’m waiting

@@korluwolobah-kuyon5321 there is so much integration but "Igbos are everywhere else but the East"? 😂. Looks like we have another bigoted imbeci|e with nothing intelligent to add. Even jealous Liberians are hatting on Igbos. Oh my days 😂😂
A northerner first even if he's incompetence, then an expatriate on a contract, then a Nigerian. This is the foundation of tribalism in Nigeria. How do you compromise competence because of tribe. Terrible POV.
It was a regional government back then not what it’s today, Sardauna was the premier of the north not nigerian president so his priority, as it should be, north first, go read some history!! You cannot have ur region and still fill up others vacancies.
Nigeria was a regional government based on tribes . I don’t know why this simple concept cannot be understood by these Igbo warriors on you tube . The first republic was organized based on tribes . It is stupid to call someone a tribalist in a country organized politically on tribes . The Igbos were discriminating against their minorities.
Nobody says you have anything in common with anyone. I don’t have anything in common with the Igbos. They are Catholic and tribalists . Some how I will find a way to work with them if we are shipwrecked. Having Igbos in a society is like being involved in a ship wreck with a crew who have no sense and capacity to adjudge the situation.
Sardauna realizes the inferiority and laziness of his people in the north. He was deeply afraid of the Ibos and ironically, he was killed by an Ibo man. He died like a coward using his children as a shield against the bullets.
You guys talk about leaving Nigeria. That Nigerians don't like you. Yet you can be found in almost every state in the country. Inferiority indeed, their religious belief makes them conservative when it comes to wealth. You guys playing the victim cards always, as if the Niger Delta would forget what Ironsi and Ojukwu told Isaac Boro in February 1966 when he asked them to divide the country so as the ijaws believed Nigeria was stealing their crude oil. You guys believe that you are better than others. What did Ironsi when he came to power, he gave his brothers higher positions and lets not forget that 1966 coup was mainly led by the ibo boys and they couldn't kill their brothers( Killing the sardauna with Tafewa Balewa).
@@azarat8aguiyi ironsi only did what the north did in the first republic, not saying it’s right but the northerners in power literally fired the educated southerners in office and employed the unqualified and illiterate northerners So because of the stupid actions of just 6 Igbo men and 1 yoruba man, the killings of thousands of innocent igbos in the north was justified??
it is very sad to see citizens of such a great country act like this. all i ever think about is what our country could possibly be if we all tried to come together. obviously, certain parts of nigeria have major problems but that does not mean that the other parts are perfect. when the north, south or east does something wrong, the world says nigeria did something wrong. i honestly believe that when we forget about what our ancestors might have thought about the sections in our country and forget whatever history tainted our relationship, then we become true brothers. i truly believe in our abilities and even if this generation fails this country, i know our souls are too pure and a generation along the line will realise that. wallahi love is the only solution. peace and love.
Ahmadu bello's problem is that the Igbos will dominate Nigeria forever. Let's go deep into how the Fulanis of Arab origin migrated and settled in Nigeria. What answer do we have . (A) the use of force (B) peaceful means (C) non of the above. The Yorubas and the Igbos have achieved so much outside the shores of Nigeria in any field of human endeavour far greater than any other tribe in Nigeria. The northernization policy Ahmadu Bello talked about is the fear of the struggle of the Igbos to progress. No wonder babangida when he was Nigeria's military president came to Aba - a commercial city in the South East and said "unbelievable" (check the historical record). The desire of the Igbo's to succeed in life is very strong that other tribes in Nigeria who know about this want the Igbos to establish in their region. Even the indirect rule colonial system of government introduced by the British failed in Igboland ( it is in the British archive). I know quite well that we as Igbo's have faults with other tribes in Nigeria like other tribes having their own faults , but one thing is sure u can't underestimate the struggle , strive and hardworking of the Igbos .
Well, you're mistaken. Sir Ahmadu Bello was the premier of northern Nigeria, and he was speaking for the northern region. U can't say he was speaking for Nigeria as a whole. That's very much evident in this speech. Get the whole clip.
Ismaeel Zubair Ahmadu Bello was clearly talking about the Entire nation hence the “Northernization of Nigeria” . You probably have seen the entire video.
@@ei5776 they will see tribalism, hear tribalism, but still hide but still come and defend this man. Smh. Many of them dont even know the suffering of northerners under his rule and feudal system. That is why in the north today there are so many impoverished people and so few extremely rich who can afford to fly a plane to an NYSC camp to pick their child up in Maiduguri or sokoto. Descendants of the northern oligarchs
It is very difficult to fathom why the Igbos are so blind to the atrocities they committed against Nigeria. Granted Ahmadu Bello was a tribalist , was that a reason for his murder? Politics is the art of negotiating differences without violence. Why didn’t they use political means to advance the interest of the Igbos .Anytime the Igbos say some one envy them I laugh . It is the other way around . Watching and listening to Ahmadu Bello talk gives you the impression of a man who is very comfortable in his skin . He was a king maker who didn’t want to be king . He could have been prime minister but said the Job was beneath him . The prime ministership was what Zik and Awo were fighting for but this Fellow felt that job was below him and was not interested in towing the white people line . He knew clearly what he wanted . When he made Tafawa Balewa the Prime Minister, He never once try to outshine , disrespect or belittle Balewa. This is the greatness of a leader . He had humility and intelligence. He was totally devoted to the service of his people. This man was so comfortable in his position and authority that pettiness was beneath him . Those who murdered him are actually those who were full of envy and hate . Ahmadu Bello’s regal bearing is something to be admired. Those who killed him had very low self esteem.
@@avigrett1484the 1966 comprises of people from various ethnic groups. The Igbo officers comprised of 70% of our officers corps,so it is normal to have a preponderance of them in such scenarios. If you care I can list their names to you.

@@kareemsvlog5590 Funny when ignoramuses begin to give lectures. Late Sir Ahmadu Bello the Sardauna of Sokoto was the Primer of the then Northern Nigeria which he ruled like an absolute monarch. Members of NEPU of Late Alhaji Aminu Kano were hunted persecuted and imprisoned. The Sardauna however was the de facto Prime Minister of Nigeria because one he was the leader of the ruling party and secondly Sir Tafawa Balewa revered him and took instructions from him. By the way if history is this important why did a Minister from the North initiated and finally got history removed from the Secondary Schools' curriculum in Nigeria.? It will be interesting if truths and facts of history like the Usman Dan Fodio Fulani Jihad, the struggle for Independence, the amalgamation and other hard facts are taught our youngsters these days! The overrunning of the Hausa Bakwai by the Fulanis, the Banza Bakwai, the Kwararafa kingdom, Kanem Borno Kingdom, the Islamic Trans Saharan Slave Trade and the rest! The Yoruba kingdom. the Benin Kingdom. The free Independent Igbo Traditional Democratic Society!
@@mohammedgoni7587 what cause the first coup? Have you forgotten the riots in Jos and Kano in 1950's that was targeted many Igbos. Have you forgotten the killing of the Igbos all over the north in 1965 and 1966 that many cause the coup. Have you forgotten that the northern Muslims and elites load the dead bodies of Igbos and Biafras in a truck 🚛 and send it to River State Port Harcourt... All this are what cause the coup... Check history. Meanwhile the leader of the coup is not an Igbo man... He is from South South Delta state. When it comes for Oil and other mineral resources they will not count Delta state Igbo... But when it comes for the coup they will count them Igbo. What a stupid set of people?
This last statement he made about being fair to all Nigerian citizens is were you will understand that we are definitely three different or more countries brought together by force. This is what is still keeping us from moving forward till today. Tribalism everywhere.
Studies in the UK have shown people of the Igbo tribe to have an IQ equal to above UK Whites, which is around 102. This could explain why they succeed in foreign countries. Wonder if Nigeria would be more prosperous under Igbo control
The igbos have suffered d most of any tribe in this country I can say even am Yoruba but wat this old fool idealism man said abt d dominant spirit of d Igbo is true.
How are igbo suffering, they are not in power for over 60 years now, but they are still dominating true or false, go to north and see what is called real poverty and diseases
@@user-wc4ls9gt6s The irony is that, after the counter-coup of 1966, Northerners have been controlling Nigeria like it is their private property. All National policies and decisions have been made with the interest of the North, leading to gradual and continued decline of the country. And they have stubbornly resisted the idea decentralization, in which each State develops their own natural resources and control their own destiny! Instead, Nigeria crippled itself with centralized economic system that makes every State equal, and thereby killed progress, and nationalized poverty. Nigeria is doing the direct opposite of developed nations. Decentralizing the economy would mean giving up control, and Northerners don't want that. Northerners have been using Nigeria's resource wealth like it is their private fund. They dominate Nigerian armed forces and National security; they rushed the capital to the North; they built Kainji dam with resource revenue from the South; they blatantly defied the principles of location of industries, and established oil refineries in the North. They don't have oil, but they ran NNPC, and controlled most Oil Blocks. They enjoyed preferential treatment for admission into higher institution. And they still can't catch up!!!!!
You just described the traits of the Hausa man. They try to dominate everywhere d enter and claim ownership. Ask the Plateaus! They have a story to tell and oh they regret their actions but too late
You guys can say all you want to say. The truth of the matter is, at the time, it was régional government. So there was competition among the three regions. No body would allow domination from any body. And that is the truth
Hausa dey fight Yoruba people for Lagos almost every year ,go mile 12, different place, but igbo people no dey fight Yoruba people at all them dey go to their normal business
Biafra couldn’t happen because the then leaders would not have allowed it mainly because the oil the country depended on was discovered in the East, if it was discovered in the north, they’d have allowed the Igbos have their Biafra easily.
So you declared Biafra because you thought the oil was yours and also you did no have weapons. Why did Ojukwu give Biafran soldiers wood to fight . Was he recruiting toy soldiers?
The question should be whether or not those northerners have the necessary qualifications to be employed in the south in any role other than as laborers.
Why has Northern Nigeria been surviving on allocation of oil revenue from the south, then? Northern Nigeria have stubbornly resisted the idea of decentralization, where each State develops their own natural resources and control 100% of their resource revenue! That is the only way Nigerian economy will diversify, create economic opportunities, and rescue Nigeria from further descent into insecurity and chaos. To make it possible for Northern Nigeria to keep enjoying revenue from the south, Nigeria crippled itself with centralized economic system that makes every State equal, and thereby killed progress, and nationalized poverty.
Sardauna said what he said and he never believed in one Nigeria. It was true as at that time that all leaders believed in regionalism. All the leaders in the south had similar views.
Azikiwe believed in one Nigeria. He came to the north to convince the sardauna to join join Nigeria during the independence struggle. I believe he did that bc he was truly pan-African. Back then there were no bad views bc it was an experimental period. The uneducated military is what killed Nigeria
@@Reyex7: Every one believed in their region. What was Zik doing in the West ? Was this the master plan to dominate Nigeria? When he was kicked out he woke up and went to the East and Kicked out a non Igbo to get a position.
Every Nigerian politician of the first republic was very articulate and well educated . If you listen to Igbo propaganda you will think the Northerners are buffoons. In actual facts the Igbos are the buffoons of Nigeria. They keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
This is exactly the agenda Buhari is executing but unfortunately they havr forgotten that those they are sending to the bush with cows can never be same with those studying and doing businesses.

@@danielokereke3833 / There you go with your Ignorance. He was able to consolidate the North without any of them feeling enstranged.

The one big problem that should not be a problem is that Igbos are very hardworking and people who are not perceive it as a threat or dominance. When people see other people succeeding, they become scared that these people will take over, instead of working with and learning from them. Too much pride no go gree them 😅
You Igbo people will never look inward and deal with your problems..... Is it Only Igbo people that are succeeding. Hausa man has the singular highest investment in Lagos but you'll never hear any Hausa man overstepping their boundaries. That reminds me of one of Igbo slogan "Lagos is a no man's land"
@@Landsomeigbos was in lagos before yall migrated to nigeria that why igbos are confertable in lagos.we allowed yall to stay and yall population boomed.
Fear of Igbos is the falling apart and downfall of Nigeria,,other tribes in Nigeria is afraid of have a fair competition with the Igbos for this simple reason as Ahmed, bello confessed.
Sarduana's great grand father is Utman dan fodio. Othman Dan fodio invaded northern Nigeria and "killed and dominated" the indigenous people there , yet Sarduana talked about Igbos dominating northerners? What a hypocrite, as at that time did Igbos kill any northerner to dominate them? He was envious because Igbos being better educated got top civil service posts on merit. He even predicted the genocide and massacre that was unleashed on Igbos about 3 years following this interview, I blame people like Zik, including Ironsi who ignored Sarduana's threat of bloodshed against Igbos. If selfishness on the part of Zik and Ironsi because this interview was done in ? 1952/53. The hatred Ahmadu Bello (Sarduana) towards the Igbos was enough reason to have demanded that Eastern region be granted independence separated from Nigeria. Ojukwu himself was part of Gen. Ironsi government. One would have thought that considering the hatred against Igbos in Nigeria, Eastern region would have been declared independent following the Jan 1966 coup instead of waiting till a northern counter coup of July 1966. Our forebears failed us woefully.
Remember the January boys are the root of genocide and massacre in Nigeria. who ever double crossed the nation mass majority (Northern) and lived, will surely understand nothing about governing the nation, you will never rule again. Nzeagwu "Kaduna" and ifeajuna is your cursed. R.I.P to our fallen heroes sardauna, tafawa balewa, akintola, festus eboh, James berom and patigi
Nigeria few team's to defeat Argentina and Brazil in a football competition, they had talented footballers like Okocha, Kanu, West, the few I can remember , As a young kid, I always enjoyed watching Nigeria play football and so surprised why they haven't won the world cup, If One Nigeria isn't working, then it's best to break the return to regional or break the country since you guys don't love each other, what's the point pretending to be one? I used the football story to show Nigerians their big achievements they made when they united and worked together without Tribalism, Religion and many stupid factors created by man, just having a forgiving heart and seeing each other like brothers and sisters. What a bright story Nigeria would or could have achieved. I hope Nigerians don't give up and change their future, The likes of Wizkid, Davido, 2face and much more shows how talented this nation truly is, fight for a better tomorrow, In summary, if Nigeria cannot work due to hatred of various tribes, then break the country as you can't force someone to like you. Else all tribes have to sit on the table a redraw the future
those who are not deligent in business complain of monopoly by the Igbos. Are you also aware that the Igbos are under represented in government jobs and federal civil service.
@@infotant: Reading all these comments tells you a lot about the impervious nature and character of the average Igbo. They are culturally insensitive people that thrive only when they monopolize resources at the expense of others.Their only answer is other people are lazy . I am going to break it down to you who is an Igbo supremacist. In Lagos there are 2 big markets . One is Balogun and the other Alaba . Balogun was started by the Yorubas a long time ago . Alaba was started by the Igbos a long time ago . If you go to Balogun market today it is like mini Nigeria. People from all over Nigeria buy and sell there . Alaba market is like a typical Igbo village. All the stalls there are owned by Igbos. This is not an accident. There is a careful plane to exclude anyone who is not Igbo . When someone challenges this practice the Igbo will refere to the person as lazy and Igbo hater . Are the people in Liberia also Igbo haters ?. The Liberian Govt made these observations to the Igbo traders in Liberia and they accused the government of hating the Igbos . The Liberian government gave them ultimatum to quit.Just imagine a situation where you are allowed to trade in a place for more than twenty years and non of the indigenes have a store that does similar business. This is ethnic monopoly that cannot be tolerated in a civilized society. The Igbos enforce these kind of monopoly with illegal practices that are akin to organized crimes and criminal syndicates. This is what is happening in Nigeria. When people complain they accuse them of laziness . How can non Igbos compete in a place where the Igbos collude to fix prices in order to drive away non Igbos ? . If the Yorubas in Lagos engage in these kind of practices you will not see any non Yoruba at the Balogun or Idumota markets just like you cannot see non Igbos at Alaba market Onitsha Aba and other places in the Igbo enclave. If Nigerians in their localities adopt these tactics the Igbos will be the first to complain. This is the microcosm of the Igbos in Nigeria. Wherever they are they raise the bar of entry for non Igbos or make conditions so unbearable for non Igbos that entry is no longer an option. How can we form a country with a group of people who lack the spirit of assimilation and shared destiny as a nation? The Igbos don’t assimilate. The only condition the Igbos want in Nigerian is when they can bully Nigerians to capitulation. This is never going to happen . This is what they were doing in the North and Ahmadu Bello said NO and they murdered him.They did it to Northern Cameroons and ran them out of Nigeria . They did it to the the people of Rivers state and Port Harcourt. The animosity generated led to the Igbos celebrating when Ken Saro Wiwa was murdered by Abacha .It will be better for them to move to their Biafra . If they want to be Nigerians they must learn the spirit of live and let’s live with Nigerians with common destiny, hope and aspirations. Our generation is tired of the parvenus vulgarities of the Igbos.
@@infotantIgbos are not more diligent in business than anyone. A list of people who took loans from banks without paying back has just been released. More than half of those people were Igbos . This is important because if you look back into Nigeria history you will see a corollary in the first republic . Majority of the Igbos who were pushing for the Biafran war were Igbo businessmen who took loans they didn’t want to pay back . They prayed for Nigerian disintegration so that they will not pay back those loans . Most of those loans were written off after the war . This is the story of Biafra that the Igbo warriors on y tube conveniently ignore .
The irony of this video. Ahmadu Bello is Fulani. They Fulani comprise less than 5% of the population of northern Nigeria, while the Hausa make up 95%. Yet they control all forms of government, leadership, and religious positions. They limit education, property ownership, and economic advancement for Hausa. The poverty for Hausa's are up to 90% in most northern states. The projection is astonishing, as the Fulani have a history of subjugation.
Absolutely disgusting introspection towards the Igbos. This was the beginning of tribalism promoted by the so called northern leaders. This statement intrigued ojukwu to dissolve the igbo tribe from the federation in the first place.
Nigeria was always a tribal society. Stop all these sophistry . The Igbos are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria. An Igbo man is a Nigerian when he goes to Kano and expect all the opportunities there to be granted to him . When the Kano man goes to Igbo land the Igbo man tells him he is Hausa/Fulani and that only Igbos are allowed opportunities. Soludo recently announced a vacancy and clearly stated that only people from Anambra should apply. Can you imagine the outcry if Lagos state governor does the same thing ?
The northern leaders rejected Nigeria, They said go and do your independent as southern Republic,their desire was to live on their own but Igbo deceived them into one Nigeria. Later Igbo killed them. How can we move forward as one. Today Igbos are crying that Fulani want to take their land, then what is the difference between this interview and the cry of Igbo of today ?
Correction: the Igbo that killed him was born in the northern region. Their family was from Midwest. The person that killed him knew Bello very well for many years before embarking into military and killed him.
People are taking this man's talk out of context, he is talking about Northern region, and if you watch the video he said, how many northerners are employed in the southern or Eastern region as well
He want northerners to occupy positions in the north.. how is that a problem?? Why will an igbo man occupy position in the north when a northerner is available..
“It is unjust for North to retain power. How can it be that it is always we the Northerners that will rule? There is no justice in this matter, we rule they (South) rule, that is justice. Even though we did n’t do much in all the years that the Northerners ruled. What will we say to the people? What will we show to the citizens of Nigeria that they benefited or will benefit in order for them to give us their votes? In these six to seven years, what have we done?” ---------------------- Tanko Yakassai Daily Trust Newspaper Monday January 24, 2022.
Shameless idots of Fulani, parasites that hates Biafrans with passion out of envy and jealousy. Why do you still want to remain with Igbos in nigeria. Shameless lazy parasites
Every other Nigerian should be taken on contract base just like the foreigners. In other words some Nigerians are more Nigerian than the others. Northern Nigeria first... Little wonder you were killed. I'm sure you don't have peace where ever you are. Nigerians open your eyes 👀 don't be in a pool and let soap get into your eyes... This man is the inventor of the problem we have today in Nigeria
You should learn what you dont know before you made such comment. He is a nothern governor, he is mean to protect the north likewise the southern governor!
What if Nigerians treat Igbos the way they treat and think about Nigerians . No one in Nigeria will patronize their businesses. They will begin to learn how to cohabit instead of their nonsense Igbo Supremacy syndrome. These people closed their shop and said let Nigerians observe a “ day without Igbos “ . This is the arrogance of fools . Nigerians went about their business without noting their absence. What if Nigerians observe a day without Nigerians and no one patronizes any Igbo businesses. We could extend it to a year without Nigerians and not patronize Igbo businesses for one year . This may teach them that individuals need community to succeed. An Igbo man succeeds it is due to his prowess and Igbo genes . When he fails it is Nigeria that held him back and he wants Biafra . Very odd people.
If u are educated, why not? If u have a bank accountant position, will you employ a farmer? Igbo man invest in himself to educate himself and u want to call him a bad person. Be fair aboki
What is it that you cherish from igbo people that you cant allow them to go? You dont like the igbos, then let them go ,the same you said NO. are you ok?
What people are not taken into consideration is that this interview was held in the early 1960's, when Nigeria had 3( and then later 4) autonomous regions! Why were the Igbo in Northern Nigeria at all? It turns out that they had been there in such huge numbers since 1940, a whopping 20 years before Nigeria's independence and 26 years before they began to agitate for a biafran secession!! I don't understand it! This was well before oil was discovered! I really am not sure why the Igbo were there ( and are still there today) in such huge numbers! Siddon for your yard abeg una !! 👊🏾🇳🇬!
But people turn round (especially the Ibos) and blame Yorubas for their troubles because of Awolowo. Awolowo was not all Yorubas just as Azikiwe was not all Ibos. Sardauna spoke about the dominating tendencies of the Igbos. The Fulanis quickly recognize another dominator like them. It takes one to know one. Yorubas are the neutral ones who neither dominates nor allow domination. The Igbos need to know who their enemies are and face them. The Yorubas did not massacre tens of thousands of Igbos in the north and Asaba before and during the war. Gowon, who reneged on the Aburi accord, is not a Yoruba man. But today, the Igbos are romancing the north once again because of money. Tomorrow, they will blame the Yorubas for their woes. Despite that revealing video czcams.com/channels/GQXtkZaGLMTACcbH39s3sQ.html from a northern leader clearly stating why the north is obsessed with the Ibos, the Ibos still turn round and blame the Yorubas for their problems. So weird.
@@anthonyorimolade7225 the Yorubas (Awolowo) "forced" Zik out of the Western region after he won an election to be the premier in the 50s. That's what broke the trust between Zik and Awolowo. This event set the stage for ethnic politics in Southern Nigeria. It became worse when Awolowo suggested the food blockage against Eastern Nigeria during the Biafra war
@@Reyex7How many Yoruba people were contesting for premiership of the Eastern Region . Eyo-Ita who was not Igbo was removed so that Zik can be installed premier of the Eastern Region. Pot calling Kettle black .
@@nzeokey2204There was no reason for that coup . There was no reason for secession. The Igbos thought they were better than everyone in their characteristic Igbo supremacy behavior.
You need to understand the background and the content then when he made the statement. At this moment, we were operating a regional system of government where each region controlled it's resources and the ibos were predominantly in the north and to him as a politician that's no acceptable which he's absolutely right about that. He campaigned on that platform promising to northernization of the north. So please know the content
@@fataiadegbenro984 first of all, it's Igbo not ibo, also, why would he say he'd rather have any other group or even foreigners instead of Igbos, this sentiment is what led to the killing of Igbos in the North and eventually the civil war. Nothing justifies this blatant Igbophobia
the first elected mayor of Enugu in igboland was a Fulani man Umaru Altine (1952 - 1958). The. people voted him. Another Fulani man was also voted into Eastern region parliament by the people. why the double standard.
E don tail when people no get shame!!! What the h3ll is Northernization Policy? This man basically blamed the Ibos for being hardworking & driven. Na Ibo people dominate the market for my village in Ekiti. But na them tell the indigenes make them sit down? The Ibos come, find the opportunities & build on them. They refuse to do rankadede like the northerners....
He was never as enlighten the way he thought he was smh....what a backward mindset and no wonder Nigeria never progress because they had men like this making important decisions.....if only the west and North was one country while the south and east was other.
I see nothing like tribalism in what he said rather than manifest truth. He is talking of the north region not Nigeria. At that time can the west or eastern region employ a northherner to work under their regional government???
Is the Northern region not Nigeria? When you go to Southern Nigeria, most people selling food products are from the North. These people do not invest in those places, but the Igbo invest anywhere they go because they want improvement and development
The issue here is not about the igbo as a tribe, he was referring to all the Nigerians from the other parts, if only Nigerians can simply get his point, his massage simply shows that north is the Nigeria, for him to categorical state he will employ another Nigerian on contract simply shows that the employees don't belong to Nigeria and shouldn't have equal rights.
It was a regional government back then not what it’s today, Sardauna was the premier of the north not nigerian president so his priority, as it should be, north first, go read some history!! You cannot have ur region and still fill up others vacancies.
@@kareemsvlog5590, you mustn't always defend your master. He was specifically asked about the Igbos, and he responded accordingly. He was obsessed with the Igbos. The Igbos that were dominating the civil service were employed by the white man, and their employment was based on merit.
@@ezeasikobia5059 still same response go read up Nigeria regional government policies!! Even today that Nigeria government is for all not regional I don’t think igbos will feel alright seeing northerners dominating their civil service in the east…..it’s simple logic but you willingly clouded your mind
Many people commenting here without any iota of history. He was talking about the regional government of Northern Nigeria of which he was the Head and not the Federal Government of Nigeria. Then powers were in the Region and in the Northern Regional Government, the Igbos dominated the civil service. He paid compliment to the Igbos and wants his regional people to be like the Igbos. Please stop inciting hate. Soon we will go back to become a Regional government which is true Federalism.
Most of the Igbos pouring out invectives here are educated illiterates . Ahmadu Bello was premier of the Northern Region. He felt his services were more needed hence he sent his subordinates to Lagos. He lived a died for his people. He was aware of the coup and he told the people who brought him the news that he cannot leave his people at their hour of need . Compare his leadership to that Of Zik . Zik installed Okpara as Premier and went to the west to fight for premiership. Also compare him to Loquacious Ojukwu who told his people he will fight to the last man and ended up leaving his people at the mercy of Federal Troops.
Anyway, if you guys are truly so scared of Igbo domination the do this. When Ghanains flooded into Nigeria and people complained, they solved this by expelling Ghanians back to Ghana, but this can't be done to Igbos because we are supposedly "One Nigeria", expel them from their region and they will come back. So Igboland(The regions of Nigeria will Significant Igbo populations) should be given its complete and total Independence/Autonomy, that way you can deport all the Igbos to Igboland and keep them there so that you don't have to fear "Igbo domination" anymore.
Truth be told. The coup and assassination of Ahmadu Bello was a perceived answer to political manipulation of the northern leadership in the affairs of the then Western region. The political meddling led to the imprisonment of Awolowo by the central government headed by the north. A group of junior officers from western and eastern regions who wanted for the release of Awolowo (who was in prison in the Eastern region), plotted the coup. Of course that was not the best answer to a political problems at the time, but the unfortunate thing was that it was tagged an Igbo coup because of the already existing begotry and hatred against the Igbos. Please check the names of the men who plotted the coup, you will realise that it was not an Igbo coup as were claimed, but rather a coup by officers of the Nigerian army from different parts of the country. It happens to have more names of Igbo extraction, however you will see Yoruba names too. Considering the political situation of things at that time, I bet that the middle belt could have been involved too. Please note that this is not a debate but a little lesson from history.
@@infotantThere should be no excuse for a coup in a democratic society. Stop advancing opinions that have no validity. Democratic norms require us to negotiate with our opponents. There is no reason to overthrow a carefully calibrated political system that was less than 5 years old . It was the selfish and imbecile Igbos that brought Nigeria to this impasse.
@avigrett1484 your opinion is obviously guided by tribal hatred rather than genuine analysis of the issues. While it is not acceptable to overthrow a democratically elected government, the soldiers involved in the coup all came from major tribes in Nigeria including Yoruba and Hausa - please get the facts. The change in the narrative was inspired by politicians who felt they could capitalize on that development to gain some support. Up until recently, some mischievous elements from a section of the country continue to promote this kind of hate by blaming Igbos for the EndSars and similar protest in Lagos, ignoring the fact that those involved in those demonstrations were all Nigerians from every tribe.
@@infotant: My opinion is from learned experience. It is the Igbos that hate Nigeria. You suggestion of hate is pure projection . Nigerian leaders have always used wedge issues to divide Nigerians . During the ENDSARS protests the Northern youth wanted to join but the politicians outsmarted them by telling them that the ENDSARS protest was organized by IPOB . Politicians have always seized on issues to feather their own nests . Everyone knows this was a lie but it worked to avert a more widespread crisis .The Igbos love propaganda but cry foul when it is used against them .
And when they couldn't dominate everyone in Nigeria, they started a civil war with the pretense that they wanted out of the Nigerian union but in truth were marching their armies towards Yorubaland cos they always saw Yorubaland as prime in Nigeria. Same thing played out in 2023 elections where they tried to foster an Ìgbò governor on Yorubas and tried to bully everyone into voting for an Ìgbò man as president of Nigeria so he can declare a prime YORUBA city state, Lagos as no man's land. They have always coveted Lagos. Nnamdi Azikiwe left Igboland/ Eastern region to try and become the premier of Yorubaland / Western region. Can you imagine that nonsense? IGBOS will tell you they want to leave NIGERIA but they are the people with the most population living outside of their ancestral home in Nigeria. Ask them to go back home and they will tell you you're xenophobic. They go everywhere and tell the aborigines there that they are lazy etc. Same thing they did to South Africans and those ones unleashed "xenophobic" violence on all Nigerians not knowing that those who are involved the most in drugs and stuff in South Africa are Igbos. How I wish Nigeria would break up. Yorubas have had enough. We need to make progress but Nigeria is dragging us back.

@@onyekaokeke9203 Nigeria is not a free market. It is an unregulated market. This the reason why Igbos say they work harder . A regulated market will not tolerate the opaque behavior of the Igbos . Let me break it down . In an unregulated market there is a lot of criminality that is nurtured . You can only regulate in a free market that have set rules and regulations.Igbos in Nigeria behave like a criminal syndicate with worse ethics than the Italian mafia and they all Catholics .

I do think you should understand the context of this interview,Nigeria operated a regional government then where he was the leader of the northern region.Igbos dominated the civil service in the north where northerners were poor .As a leader he has to address that that and he was killed by the people he criticized.
Why is it "fascinating"?
@@hysn9613 What context are you referring to ? Are northerners more educated today in Nigeria? He revealed his hatred toward the Igbo. When the Igbo talk about marginalization this is exactly what they are inferring. The domination he was pointing out was the Igbo's risk-taking. Nothing more
@@malachichukwu1578 i think you are misunderstanding him we had regional government the ones most of you igbos are clamouring for. Every region would not allow its people dominating its armed forces,businesses,economy, government institutions. Igbos dominated the north and his people were uneducated he seeked to change it. You know the igbos would not allow northerners in its army but northerners allowed it. He had to change it . This is the regional government you are clamouring for now and if given all regions will priotize its people and this is the same thing we would experience. He was the prime minister of the northern region not Nigeria at that moment.We had igbos everywhere in the north , was that allowed in the east then. Would azikwe have allowed northerners in the army of the eastern region. You cant eat your cake and have it. If you want a regional government then know then know each region would have to give special tretments to its people

Idiot@masudsaleh5155
But that in past we need to come together and look forward into the future instead of discrimination and genocide of the igbos
@masudsaleh5155 The unification decree was indeed a big mistake, but has ANY Igbo man ruled Nigeria since 1966?
The Northerners and some South Westerners led Nigeria since 1966 and look at where we're at now.
It's not even as if the unification decree couldn't have been reversed, but the leaders we've had since Ironsi's demise have proven to be the most incompetent.
@@E_Moon-1I am an Isoko man . No member of my tribe has ruled Nigeria. That doesn’t make me less Nigerian. The Igbos should stop this low level reasoning and join the fight for restructuring. The Igbos must learn how to subsume their greed and arrogance and learn to work with others . As soon as the oil wells in the present River state became functional , the Igbos had a premature ejaculation and we are still paying the price for that orgasm.
@@avigrett1484 Igbo people are not ruling Nigeria. Stop your obsessing over us. We have no control over the direction of the country, because we don't control it.

Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani people have ruled this country since it's inception, yet you say, Nigeria is what it is, because Igbo people are greedy and arrogant? That makes no sense. Blame the people in power, for the state of the nation. Igbo people have NOTHING to do with Nigeria, and we don't owe the people that committed genocide against us, ANYTHING! Shameless man.

The Sardauna of Sokoto made a perfect and accurate diagnosis which many refuse to accept today.
Nigeria's problem is NOT poor leadership, bad constitution, failing economy, systemic corruption, etc.
The problem with Nigeria can be summarized in 4 sentences:
I: Unless a society runs a merit-based system, all sectors deteriorate.
II: Nigeria tried merit before and ended up with Igbos leading EVERY sector (economy, education, military, science, transport, trade etc).
III: Nigeria refuses to go back to merit because of 'risk' of Igbo domination.
IV: Nigeria cannot improve, because it cannot run a merit-based society.
Igbo people (the engine of Nigeria’s advancement), are stifled by an Islam-motivated cabal which prefers power to meritocracy. Igbo ostracisation is the main reasons for Nigeria’s irreversible backwardness.
SUMMARY: Nigeria is in a catch-22. Institute merit and Igbos inevitably become the top dogs. Deny merit and Nigeria goes to the dogs.
SOLUTION: The only way forward is Igbo autonomy or independence. Otherwise neither Igbos nor Nigerians can make much progress.
God blessing you saying the truth! God bless Biafra!
Anne Francis Elizabeth...the Igbos dominate a merit-based system not because they are cleverer or more able than the rest of Nigeria but because having a domination agenda they exploit any open system.
Anne Francis Elizabeth
how can you say such a thing
Wow! Anne Francis Elizabeth, I'm marvelled by your insightful analysis of a decrepit condition. How can I meet with a personality like YOU boss?
Not true merit is the Monopoly of anyone.. I went to Fgc kano coming straight from India as my dad got posted back to Nigeria, he made three of us go to Fgc kano.. Surprisingly it was very mixed.. Scholarship merit was spread.. Now especially brilliant were folks from benue state..
In the face of what looks like limited opportunity for success and stringent conditions for employment into government controlled sectors, I have not seen Igbos going to other regions to either beg nor use violence to acquire properties from host communities. Nigerians were quick to forget that the Igbos' assets were seized in some parts of the country, a few received 20 pounds only in returning for any thousands or millions they held in banks prior to the civil war, no proper government funded infrastructure in their region, nearby seaports (about 3 of them) were closed down; they were barred from building powerplants nor generating power electricity to power their industries . Yet without being hostile (in my opinion), they have managed to make a living out of the little businesses established across the country. More questions need to be asked about what the rest of the country did with all the moneys that were confiscated from Igbos soon after the war, especially by those from the north. Most Igbo men and women I know are mainly interested in finding suitable climate to conduct their businesses, and have no time dominating anyone. Out of experience I would say that the Igbos even help and employ some of the locals in the communities where they operate, whereas some who hate Igbos use agencies of government like the internal revenue services to oppress and harassment harmless business owners. I wish Nigerians can be fair in their judgement of issues and channel their energy in acknowledging the contributions Igbo and the rest of other ethnic groups make to this country, rather than attack and harass eachother.

So content matter and Sense of history is relevant as well
@@fataiadegbenro984 I believe this is a tribalistic concept. Which is fine to have. If that is the case, why invite Igbos over if you deem them to be second class citizens. Why even pretend to be a country. It is this mindset that sparked the coup de tat by the Igbo Militia. Not that I support the Militia, but you can clearly see that, this thinking is extremely negative to our society
@@pinujay959 let look at this in the context of the time them, this was in the time of regional autonomy when every region was on it's own in every respect but the northern civil service was dominated by the Ibos, then Saudauna being a politician found it unacceptable and undemocratic so he campaigned on the theme northernization to put a northerners first before any other nigeria which is the policy in the East and the West so then why should the north be exception? I think it's a good policy then but not now and it's ingenious to look at it in today's nigeria. That's why we need to go back in history and understand at what circumstances were those statements made
Context and historical precedent matter, understand the situation when those statements were made and the circumstances prevailing in the country then
@@fataiadegbenro984 My Brother. He did not make all these claims in the video. He clearly stated that Igbos are ambitious and always want more. As if that is a bad thing.
You stated that Saudauna found the Igbos dominating the civil service undemocratic. Isn't that quite the irony. How can the Igbos dominate in a foreign land if its own people did not permit them to do so. It is not like the Igbos have the capacity to oppress the North in any shape or form. Just look at Borno when Igbos were there and now... maybe that will make more sense to you. Check Kaduna then and now... see how the economies have tanked.
Let's not deviate from the issue in this video. This is what sparks the outrage from Igbos. I am ok with putting Northerners first in their region. But Igbos NEVER took ownership of any Hausa owned business or political position, NOT ONCE. The Igbos thrived in the North because their skill in commerce was profound which has them excelling in not just Nigeria but in countries like China where some Chinese even go as far as learning Igbo in order to do business with the Igbos there.
This perception of the Igbos persists till this day, and why they are persecuted around the world.
It is this same mindset that caused the Nazi's to assault the Jews in Europe essentially chasing them from there. Yet the Jews are one of the most successful people when they were accepted in the US, UK and their homeland Israel. The Westerners, instead of hating on the Jews have used the Jews to improve their nations. Igbos are like the Jews, always concerned with acquiring wealth and doing better than where they once were. It is a lifestyle. You don't have to emulate it, but don't persecute them for something that does you NO HARM whatsoever.
Anyway, if you guys are truly so scared of Igbo domination the do this.
When Ghanains flooded into Nigeria and people complained, they solved this by expelling Ghanians back to Ghana, but this can't be done to Igbos because we are supposedly "One Nigeria", expel them from their region and they will come back.
So Igboland(The regions of Nigeria will Significant Igbo populations) should be given its complete and total Independence/Autonomy, that way you can deport all the Igbos to Igboland and keep them there so that you don't have to fear "Igbo domination" anymore.
Do you not know that the North tried several times to expel Igbo's but the Igbo's refuse to leave till today? the question is if you do not like Igbo land and you insists on roaming around the globe setting up shops because of your love of money and lest not forget drug smuggling etc... where will you go after you are granted. independence? we suspect nothing will change, cos you will still remain in the North and around the globe and continue to be nuisance, do Nah... we are not buying it, Nne

@@princessnyeni5548 You are probably someone's mother and I can tell for a fact that you have no sense
@@princessnyeni5548 I will tell you exactly why we are in the north. Some of these reasons are being solved but you don’t just teleport from where you came from.
1. No international airport for cargo. Igbo people are business and we could ignore the north and do business with the rest of the world. But instead the government only really allowed Lagos, Abuja and Kano to work as top class airports.
2. No world-class seaport in east.
3. Closure of our industries. The government has closed 100s of industries in Aba and other places in Igboland. Then you ask us why we go looking for employment elsewhere? Our industries are LESS diverse than in 1960s. Let that sink in. And it isn’t our doing.
4. Economic war. Everywhere Igbo are heavily financially involved the government closes that avenue for example closure of digital cryptocurrency.
5. Administrative purposes. If the Igbo are part of this singular country of course they would be everywhere. It is illegal to “expel” the Igbos when you are in the same country!
In all you have come here to rant about how you have committed crimes against igbo people and they have resisted you. And you think there would be LESS Igbo with you if you KEEP THEIR LAND IN THE SAME COUNTRY? You are ridiculous.
@@princessnyeni5548 it'll be good to understand the context of independence. I'm not sure what part of Nigeria that you're from,however, would you tell me that no one, not even a single breathing being from your tribe is in another country, in another part of the globe? Why is the person there then? Why not in your state? Why is the person hustling to make money in another part of the world that's not their hometown?
Northerners are obsessed about Igbos
If Northerners are obsessed about Igbos they will be in Igboland. It is the other way around.
Someone tell me what’s wrong in working hard to stand out and gain distinction. What’s the hall mark of any dedication and focus . Is it morally wrong to try to be ambitious ? I’m waiting
You need to understand the background and the content then when he made the statement.
At this moment, we were operating a regional system of government where each region controlled it's resources and the ibos were predominantly in the north and to him as a politician that's no acceptable which he's absolutely right about that. He campaigned on that platform promising to northernization of the north.

A northerner first even if he's incompetence, then an expatriate on a contract, then a Nigerian. This is the foundation of tribalism in Nigeria. How do you compromise competence because of tribe. Terrible POV.
It was a regional government back then not what it’s today, Sardauna was the premier of the north not nigerian president so his priority, as it should be, north first, go read some history!!
You cannot have ur region and still fill up others vacancies.
Nigeria was a regional government based on tribes . I don’t know why this simple concept cannot be understood by these Igbo warriors on you tube . The first republic was organized based on tribes . It is stupid to call someone a tribalist in a country organized politically on tribes . The Igbos were discriminating against their minorities.
We have little or nothing in common with arewa, so why is Nigeria a country
Britain made Nigeria a country.It was never the tribes creation.
Nobody says you have anything in common with anyone. I don’t have anything in common with the Igbos. They are Catholic and tribalists . Some how I will find a way to work with them if we are shipwrecked. Having Igbos in a society is like being involved in a ship wreck with a crew who have no sense and capacity to adjudge the situation.
Sardauna realizes the inferiority and laziness of his people in the north. He was deeply afraid of the Ibos and ironically, he was killed by an Ibo man. He died like a coward using his children as a shield against the bullets.
Absolutely and they are still on that platform never grow and bringing Nigeria backward.
You guys talk about leaving Nigeria.
That Nigerians don't like you.
Yet you can be found in almost every state in the country.
Inferiority indeed, their religious belief makes them conservative when it comes to wealth.
You guys playing the victim cards always, as if the Niger Delta would forget what Ironsi and Ojukwu told Isaac Boro in February 1966 when he asked them to divide the country so as the ijaws believed Nigeria was stealing their crude oil.
You guys believe that you are better than others. What did Ironsi when he came to power, he gave his brothers higher positions and lets not forget that 1966 coup was mainly led by the ibo boys and they couldn't kill their brothers( Killing the sardauna with Tafewa Balewa).
@@azarat8aguiyi ironsi only did what the north did in the first republic, not saying it’s right but the northerners in power literally fired the educated southerners in office and employed the unqualified and illiterate northerners
So because of the stupid actions of just 6 Igbo men and 1 yoruba man, the killings of thousands of innocent igbos in the north was justified??
Anything this northerner touch turn to dust, backward people
it is very sad to see citizens of such a great country act like this. all i ever think about is what our country could possibly be if we all tried to come together. obviously, certain parts of nigeria have major problems but that does not mean that the other parts are perfect. when the north, south or east does something wrong, the world says nigeria did something wrong. i honestly believe that when we forget about what our ancestors might have thought about the sections in our country and forget whatever history tainted our relationship, then we become true brothers. i truly believe in our abilities and even if this generation fails this country, i know our souls are too pure and a generation along the line will realise that. wallahi love is the only solution. peace and love.
You can only be brothers to those who want to be brothers. Biafrans don’t want brotherhood.

Ahmadu bello's problem is that the Igbos will dominate Nigeria forever. Let's go deep into how the Fulanis of Arab origin migrated and settled in Nigeria. What answer do we have . (A) the use of force (B) peaceful means (C) non of the above. The Yorubas and the Igbos have achieved so much outside the shores of Nigeria in any field of human endeavour far greater than any other tribe in Nigeria. The northernization policy Ahmadu Bello talked about is the fear of the struggle of the Igbos to progress. No wonder babangida when he was Nigeria's military president came to Aba - a commercial city in the South East and said "unbelievable" (check the historical record). The desire of the Igbo's to succeed in life is very strong that other tribes in Nigeria who know about this want the Igbos to establish in their region. Even the indirect rule colonial system of government introduced by the British failed in Igboland ( it is in the British archive). I know quite well that we as Igbo's have faults with other tribes in Nigeria like other tribes having their own faults , but one thing is sure u can't underestimate the struggle , strive and hardworking of the Igbos .
Well, you're mistaken. Sir Ahmadu Bello was the premier of northern Nigeria, and he was speaking for the northern region. U can't say he was speaking for Nigeria as a whole. That's very much evident in this speech. Get the whole clip.
Ismaeel Zubair Ahmadu Bello was clearly talking about the Entire nation hence the “Northernization of Nigeria” . You probably have seen the entire video.
@@ei5776 they will see tribalism, hear tribalism, but still hide but still come and defend this man. Smh. Many of them dont even know the suffering of northerners under his rule and feudal system. That is why in the north today there are so many impoverished people and so few extremely rich who can afford to fly a plane to an NYSC camp to pick their child up in Maiduguri or sokoto. Descendants of the northern oligarchs
It is very difficult to fathom why the Igbos are so blind to the atrocities they committed against Nigeria. Granted Ahmadu Bello was a tribalist , was that a reason for his murder? Politics is the art of negotiating differences without violence. Why didn’t they use political means to advance the interest of the Igbos .Anytime the Igbos say some one envy them I laugh . It is the other way around . Watching and listening to Ahmadu Bello talk gives you the impression of a man who is very comfortable in his skin . He was a king maker who didn’t want to be king . He could have been prime minister but said the Job was beneath him . The prime ministership was what Zik and Awo were fighting for but this Fellow felt that job was below him and was not interested in towing the white people line . He knew clearly what he wanted . When he made Tafawa Balewa the Prime Minister, He never once try to outshine , disrespect or belittle Balewa. This is the greatness of a leader . He had humility and intelligence. He was totally devoted to the service of his people. This man was so comfortable in his position and authority that pettiness was beneath him . Those who murdered him are actually those who were full of envy and hate . Ahmadu Bello’s regal bearing is something to be admired. Those who killed him had very low self esteem.
@@avigrett1484the 1966 comprises of people from various ethnic groups. The Igbo officers comprised of 70% of our officers corps,so it is normal to have a preponderance of them in such scenarios.

The Sardauna however was the de facto Prime Minister of Nigeria because one he was the leader of the ruling party and secondly Sir Tafawa Balewa revered him and took instructions from him.

@@user-wc4ls9gt6s The irony is that, after the counter-coup of 1966, Northerners have been controlling Nigeria like it is their private property. All National policies and decisions have been made with the interest of the North, leading to gradual and continued decline of the country.
And they have stubbornly resisted the idea decentralization, in which each State develops their own natural resources and control their own destiny! Instead, Nigeria crippled itself with centralized economic system that makes every State equal, and thereby killed progress, and nationalized poverty. Nigeria is doing the direct opposite of developed nations.
Decentralizing the economy would mean giving up control, and Northerners don't want that. Northerners have been using Nigeria's resource wealth like it is their private fund. They dominate Nigerian armed forces and National security; they rushed the capital to the North; they built Kainji dam with resource revenue from the South; they blatantly defied the principles of location of industries, and established oil refineries in the North. They don't have oil, but they ran NNPC, and controlled most Oil Blocks. They enjoyed preferential treatment for admission into higher institution. And they still can't catch up!!!!!

The question should be whether or not those northerners have the necessary qualifications to be employed in the south in any role other than as laborers.
Why has Northern Nigeria been surviving on allocation of oil revenue from the south, then?
Northern Nigeria have stubbornly resisted the idea of decentralization, where each State develops their own natural resources and control 100% of their resource revenue! That is the only way Nigerian economy will diversify, create economic opportunities, and rescue Nigeria from further descent into insecurity and chaos.
To make it possible for Northern Nigeria to keep enjoying revenue from the south, Nigeria crippled itself with centralized economic system that makes every State equal, and thereby killed progress, and nationalized poverty.
Sardauna said what he said and he never believed in one Nigeria. It was true as at that time that all leaders believed in regionalism. All the leaders in the south had similar views.

Sarduana's great grand father is Utman dan fodio. Othman Dan fodio invaded northern Nigeria and "killed and dominated" the indigenous people there , yet Sarduana talked about Igbos dominating northerners? What a hypocrite, as at that time did Igbos kill any northerner to dominate them?
He was envious because Igbos being better educated got top civil service posts on merit.
He even predicted the genocide and massacre that was unleashed on Igbos about 3 years following this interview,
I blame people like Zik, including Ironsi who ignored Sarduana's threat of bloodshed against Igbos.
If selfishness on the part of Zik and Ironsi because this interview was done in ? 1952/53. The hatred Ahmadu Bello (Sarduana) towards the Igbos was enough reason to have demanded that Eastern region be granted independence separated from Nigeria.
Ojukwu himself was part of Gen. Ironsi government. One would have thought that considering the hatred against Igbos in Nigeria, Eastern region would have been declared independent following the Jan 1966 coup instead of waiting till a northern counter coup of July 1966.
Our forebears failed us woefully.

In summary, if Nigeria cannot work due to hatred of various tribes, then break the country as you can't force someone to like you. Else all tribes have to sit on the table a redraw the future
Always good to hear history killing if Igbos was what triggers the first military coup in Nigeria because people in power are not doing anything
Still today the ibos still monopolize any business they run
Is that good or bad thing in your opinion? (Politely)
even after everything was stolen from Igbos and awarded to northerners and yorubas after the Biafran genocide . Why you guys still bitter?
those who are not deligent in business complain of monopoly by the Igbos. Are you also aware that the Igbos are under represented in government jobs and federal civil service.
@@infotant: Reading all these comments tells you a lot about the impervious nature and character of the average Igbo. They are culturally insensitive people that thrive only when they monopolize resources at the expense of others.Their only answer is other people are lazy . I am going to break it down to you who is an Igbo supremacist. In Lagos there are 2 big markets . One is Balogun and the other Alaba . Balogun was started by the Yorubas a long time ago . Alaba was started by the Igbos a long time ago . If you go to Balogun market today it is like mini Nigeria. People from all over Nigeria buy and sell there . Alaba market is like a typical Igbo village. All the stalls there are owned by Igbos. This is not an accident. There is a careful plane to exclude anyone who is not Igbo . When someone challenges this practice the Igbo will refere to the person as lazy and Igbo hater . Are the people in Liberia also Igbo haters ?. The Liberian Govt made these observations to the Igbo traders in Liberia and they accused the government of hating the Igbos . The Liberian government gave them ultimatum to quit.Just imagine a situation where you are allowed to trade in a place for more than twenty years and non of the indigenes have a store that does similar business. This is ethnic monopoly that cannot be tolerated in a civilized society. The Igbos enforce these kind of monopoly with illegal practices that are akin to organized crimes and criminal syndicates. This is what is happening in Nigeria. When people complain they accuse them of laziness . How can non Igbos compete in a place where the Igbos collude to fix prices in order to drive away non Igbos ? . If the Yorubas in Lagos engage in these kind of practices you will not see any non Yoruba at the Balogun or Idumota markets just like you cannot see non Igbos at Alaba market Onitsha Aba and other places in the Igbo enclave. If Nigerians in their localities adopt these tactics the Igbos will be the first to complain. This is the microcosm of the Igbos in Nigeria. Wherever they are they raise the bar of entry for non Igbos or make conditions so unbearable for non Igbos that entry is no longer an option. How can we form a country with a group of people who lack the spirit of assimilation and shared destiny as a nation? The Igbos don’t assimilate. The only condition the Igbos want in Nigerian is when they can bully Nigerians to capitulation. This is never going to happen . This is what they were doing in the North and Ahmadu Bello said NO and they murdered him.They did it to Northern Cameroons and ran them out of Nigeria . They did it to the the people of Rivers state and Port Harcourt. The animosity generated led to the Igbos celebrating when Ken Saro Wiwa was murdered by Abacha .It will be better for them to move to their Biafra . If they want to be Nigerians they must learn the spirit of live and let’s live with Nigerians with common destiny, hope and aspirations. Our generation is tired of the parvenus vulgarities of the Igbos.
@@infotantIgbos are not more diligent in business than anyone. A list of people who took loans from banks without paying back has just been released. More than half of those people were Igbos . This is important because if you look back into Nigeria history you will see a corollary in the first republic . Majority of the Igbos who were pushing for the Biafran war were Igbo businessmen who took loans they didn’t want to pay back . They prayed for Nigerian disintegration so that they will not pay back those loans . Most of those loans were written off after the war . This is the story of Biafra that the Igbo warriors on y tube conveniently ignore .
The irony of this video. Ahmadu Bello is Fulani. They Fulani comprise less than 5% of the population of northern Nigeria, while the Hausa make up 95%. Yet they control all forms of government, leadership, and religious positions. They limit education, property ownership, and economic advancement for Hausa. The poverty for Hausa's are up to 90% in most northern states. The projection is astonishing, as the Fulani have a history of subjugation.
Absolutely disgusting introspection towards the Igbos. This was the beginning of tribalism promoted by the so called northern leaders.
This statement intrigued ojukwu to dissolve the igbo tribe from the federation in the first place.
Nigeria was always a tribal society. Stop all these sophistry . The Igbos are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria. An Igbo man is a Nigerian when he goes to Kano and expect all the opportunities there to be granted to him . When the Kano man goes to Igbo land the Igbo man tells him he is Hausa/Fulani and that only Igbos are allowed opportunities. Soludo recently announced a vacancy and clearly stated that only people from Anambra should apply. Can you imagine the outcry if Lagos state governor does the same thing ?
The northern leaders rejected Nigeria, They said go and do your independent as southern Republic,their desire was to live on their own but Igbo deceived them into one Nigeria.
Later Igbo killed them.
How can we move forward as one. Today Igbos are crying that Fulani want to take their land, then what is the difference between this interview and the cry of Igbo of today ?
Correction: the Igbo that killed him was born in the northern region. Their family was from Midwest. The person that killed him knew Bello very well for many years before embarking into military and killed him.
You are right. Since the whole Nigerian project is just tribal domination ploys, why continue it and be an accomplice to tribal domination?.
And you left to address what was, and still is, a true threat to the North, illiteracy.
Allah ya jikan maza😢.
Where were you when you came here 1952
This was put out of context he was talking about northern Nigeria in the full interview
do you have a link to the full video
Its not out of context tho. Everyone here knows that's what it is.
People are taking this man's talk out of context, he is talking about Northern region, and if you watch the video he said, how many northerners are employed in the southern or Eastern region as well
Good Riddance
He want northerners to occupy positions in the north.. how is that a problem?? Why will an igbo man occupy position in the north when a northerner is available..
What’s stopping a northerner from being educated for the position?
They were training their people who were getting out of colleges. Did we listen to the same speech?
Why is Northern Nigeria surviving on allocation of oil revenue from the south, then?
“It is unjust for North to retain power. How can it be that it is always we the Northerners that will rule? There is no justice in this matter, we rule they (South) rule, that is justice. Even though we did n’t do much in all the years that the Northerners ruled. What will we say to the people? What will we show to the citizens of Nigeria that they benefited or will benefit in order for them to give us their votes? In these six to seven years, what have we done?”

He's very correct!
Shameless idots of Fulani, parasites that hates Biafrans with passion out of envy and jealousy. Why do you still want to remain with Igbos in nigeria. Shameless lazy parasites
How is he write you idiot
See intonation
How has that "policy" worked for the north?
Every other Nigerian should be taken on contract base just like the foreigners. In other words some Nigerians are more Nigerian than the others. Northern Nigeria first... Little wonder you were killed. I'm sure you don't have peace where ever you are. Nigerians open your eyes 👀 don't be in a pool and let soap get into your eyes... This man is the inventor of the problem we have today in Nigeria
He is talking about the Northern Region and not Nigeria as a whole
.
You should learn what you dont know before you made such comment. He is a nothern governor, he is mean to protect the north likewise the southern governor!

What if Nigerians treat Igbos the way they treat and think about Nigerians . No one in Nigeria will patronize their businesses. They will begin to learn how to cohabit instead of their nonsense Igbo Supremacy syndrome. These people closed their shop and said let Nigerians observe a “ day without Igbos “ . This is the arrogance of fools . Nigerians went about their business without noting their absence. What if Nigerians observe a day without Nigerians and no one patronizes any Igbo businesses. We could extend it to a year without Nigerians and not patronize Igbo businesses for one year . This may teach them that individuals need community to succeed. An Igbo man succeeds it is due to his prowess and Igbo genes . When he fails it is Nigeria that held him back and he wants Biafra . Very odd people.
My question for those who accused him of tribalism, Can the estern region employ a northherner to work under their government at that time??
The first elected mayor of Enugu was a Fulani man by name Umaru Altine (1952 - 1958). He was originally from Sokoto.
He's a socialist...not a tribalist
If u are educated, why not? If u have a bank accountant position, will you employ a farmer? Igbo man invest in himself to educate himself and u want to call him a bad person. Be fair aboki
As a Yoruba man ahmadu bello is right. Never again will ibos have that freedom in lagos anymore. Never ever again
U are lazy go and hustle 🤡🤡
All this Yoruba people make una no start war wen una no go finish

What is it that you cherish from igbo people that you cant allow them to go? You dont like the igbos, then let them go ,the same you said NO. are you ok?
Gamji dan hausa may Allah grant you jannah
What people are not taken into consideration is that this interview was held in the early 1960's, when Nigeria had 3( and then later 4) autonomous regions!
Why were the Igbo in Northern Nigeria at all?
It turns out that they had been there in such huge numbers since 1940, a whopping 20 years before Nigeria's independence and 26 years before they began to agitate for a biafran secession!!
I don't understand it!
This was well before oil was discovered!
I really am not sure why the Igbo were there ( and are still there today) in such huge numbers!
Siddon for your yard abeg una !!

I know the soldier who took this guy out enjoyed it 😂
@masudsaleh5155The Igbos behave like unruly children without table manners.
So much hate and ignorance from a si called founding father
But people turn round (especially the Ibos) and blame Yorubas for their troubles because of Awolowo. Awolowo was not all Yorubas just as Azikiwe was not all Ibos. Sardauna spoke about the dominating tendencies of the Igbos. The Fulanis quickly recognize another dominator like them. It takes one to know one. Yorubas are the neutral ones who neither dominates nor allow domination. The Igbos need to know who their enemies are and face them. The Yorubas did not massacre tens of thousands of Igbos in the north and Asaba before and during the war. Gowon, who reneged on the Aburi accord, is not a Yoruba man. But today, the Igbos are romancing the north once again because of money. Tomorrow, they will blame the Yorubas for their woes. Despite that revealing video czcams.com/channels/GQXtkZaGLMTACcbH39s3sQ.html from a northern leader clearly stating why the north is obsessed with the Ibos, the Ibos still turn round and blame the Yorubas for their problems. So weird.
@@anthonyorimolade7225 the Yorubas (Awolowo) "forced" Zik out of the Western region after he won an election to be the premier in the 50s. That's what broke the trust between Zik and Awolowo. This event set the stage for ethnic politics in Southern Nigeria. It became worse when Awolowo suggested the food blockage against Eastern Nigeria during the Biafra war
@@Reyex7How many Yoruba people were contesting for premiership of the Eastern Region . Eyo-Ita who was not Igbo was removed so that Zik can be installed premier of the Eastern Region. Pot calling Kettle black .
Perfectly said
the HATRED only fits to be in caps lock. i am not even surprised because his religion and tribe informed his vilifying tongue and actions.
Shame to this type of mindset
I think the Igbos proved his point with the bloody coup which is still the seed of the problems of Nigeria today.
Sigh.. except it wasn't an igbo coup. There were westerners involved too. This belief is what has killed nationalism and promoted tribalism.
Have you not read about the Wild Wild West? That actually caused the coup.
so you're going to skip what happened after the coup? retardation is a bad thing
@@nzeokey2204There was no reason for that coup . There was no reason for secession. The Igbos thought they were better than everyone in their characteristic Igbo supremacy behavior.
Prejudice on display
Yeah, I get the same smell of prejudice when I read Igbo people commenting.
You need to understand the background and the content then when he made the statement.
At this moment, we were operating a regional system of government where each region controlled it's resources and the ibos were predominantly in the north and to him as a politician that's no acceptable which he's absolutely right about that. He campaigned on that platform promising to northernization of the north.
So please know the content
@@fataiadegbenro984 first of all, it's Igbo not ibo, also, why would he say he'd rather have any other group or even foreigners instead of Igbos, this sentiment is what led to the killing of Igbos in the North and eventually the civil war.
Nothing justifies this blatant Igbophobia
@@Chuby_ubesie Read your history before you spray your infectious ignorance. Ahmadu Bello had a context .
Very primitive and divisive
the first elected mayor of Enugu in igboland was a Fulani man Umaru Altine (1952 - 1958). The. people voted him. Another Fulani man was also voted into Eastern region parliament by the people. why the double standard.
This is the very first ever recorded hate speech.
I done die 😂😂
E don tail when people no get shame!!! What the h3ll is Northernization Policy? This man basically blamed the Ibos for being hardworking & driven.
Na Ibo people dominate the market for my village in Ekiti. But na them tell the indigenes make them sit down? The Ibos come, find the opportunities & build on them. They refuse to do rankadede like the northerners....
Don't mind those lazy abokis
He was never as enlighten the way he thought he was smh....what a backward mindset and no wonder Nigeria never progress because they had men like this making important decisions.....if only the west and North was one country while the south and east was other.
This was done as a JOKE right???
Foolish old man
Nzeogwu gave u wat u needed
I see nothing like tribalism in what he said rather than manifest truth. He is talking of the north region not Nigeria. At that time can the west or eastern region employ a northherner to work under their regional government???
Is the Northern region not Nigeria? When you go to Southern Nigeria, most people selling food products are from the North. These people do not invest in those places, but the Igbo invest anywhere they go because they want improvement and development
Why is Northern Nigeria surviving on allocation of oil revenue from the south, then?
And you people wanted Peter Obi to win

The issue here is not about the igbo as a tribe, he was referring to all the Nigerians from the other parts, if only Nigerians can simply get his point, his massage simply shows that north is the Nigeria, for him to categorical state he will employ another Nigerian on contract simply shows that the employees don't belong to Nigeria and shouldn't have equal rights.
It was a regional government back then not what it’s today, Sardauna was the premier of the north not nigerian president so his priority, as it should be, north first, go read some history!!
You cannot have ur region and still fill up others vacancies.
@@kareemsvlog5590, you mustn't always defend your master. He was specifically asked about the Igbos, and he responded accordingly. He was obsessed with the Igbos. The Igbos that were dominating the civil service were employed by the white man, and their employment was based on merit.
@@ezeasikobia5059 still same response go read up Nigeria regional government policies!!
Even today that Nigeria government is for all not regional I don’t think igbos will feel alright seeing northerners dominating their civil service in the east…..it’s simple logic but you willingly clouded your mind
@@kareemsvlog5590, who employed those Igbos in the Northern civil service, and why?
A perfect resolution about the issue. Then we should split and let each tribe or region go for self determination.
That is the truth about igbo people's.
What's wrong with that your forefathers allowed 1600 White people to dominate in them
You have no idea what you are saying.
And your prejudiced to believe that nonsense
Many people commenting here without any iota of history. He was talking about the regional government of Northern Nigeria of which he was the Head and not the Federal Government of Nigeria. Then powers were in the Region and in the Northern Regional Government, the Igbos dominated the civil service. He paid compliment to the Igbos and wants his regional people to be like the Igbos. Please stop inciting hate. Soon we will go back to become a Regional government which is true Federalism.
Most of the Igbos pouring out invectives here are educated illiterates . Ahmadu Bello was premier of the Northern Region. He felt his services were more needed hence he sent his subordinates to Lagos. He lived a died for his people. He was aware of the coup and he told the people who brought him the news that he cannot leave his people at their hour of need . Compare his leadership to that Of Zik . Zik installed Okpara as Premier and went to the west to fight for premiership. Also compare him to Loquacious Ojukwu who told his people he will fight to the last man and ended up leaving his people at the mercy of Federal Troops.
If you read well about his, northern literary was 2% that time
@@gram165So what

Stupid backward people
Best thing is for everyone to go their own way

A Coward!!
Anyway, if you guys are truly so scared of Igbo domination the do this.
When Ghanains flooded into Nigeria and people complained, they solved this by expelling Ghanians back to Ghana, but this can't be done to Igbos because we are supposedly "One Nigeria", expel them from their region and they will come back.
So Igboland(The regions of Nigeria will Significant Igbo populations) should be given its complete and total Independence/Autonomy, that way you can deport all the Igbos to Igboland and keep them there so that you don't have to fear "Igbo domination" anymore.
Sharap u bastard
Northerners are facing the same in the south. You can be hypocritical about it. If you guys are the ones doing it, then that's okay.
Maybe that's why the assassination take place 😡😡
That's why he supposed to die again.
Truth be told. The coup and assassination of Ahmadu Bello was a perceived answer to political manipulation of the northern leadership in the affairs of the then Western region. The political meddling led to the imprisonment of Awolowo by the central government headed by the north. A group of junior officers from western and eastern regions who wanted for the release of Awolowo (who was in prison in the Eastern region), plotted the coup. Of course that was not the best answer to a political problems at the time, but the unfortunate thing was that it was tagged an Igbo coup because of the already existing begotry and hatred against the Igbos. Please check the names of the men who plotted the coup, you will realise that it was not an Igbo coup as were claimed, but rather a coup by officers of the Nigerian army from different parts of the country. It happens to have more names of Igbo extraction, however you will see Yoruba names too. Considering the political situation of things at that time, I bet that the middle belt could have been involved too. Please note that this is not a debate but a little lesson from history.
@@infotantThere should be no excuse for a coup in a democratic society. Stop advancing opinions that have no validity. Democratic norms require us to negotiate with our opponents. There is no reason to overthrow a carefully calibrated political system that was less than 5 years old . It was the selfish and imbecile Igbos that brought Nigeria to this impasse.
@avigrett1484 your opinion is obviously guided by tribal hatred rather than genuine analysis of the issues. While it is not acceptable to overthrow a democratically elected government, the soldiers involved in the coup all came from major tribes in Nigeria including Yoruba and Hausa - please get the facts. The change in the narrative was inspired by politicians who felt they could capitalize on that development to gain some support. Up until recently, some mischievous elements from a section of the country continue to promote this kind of hate by blaming Igbos for the EndSars and similar protest in Lagos, ignoring the fact that those involved in those demonstrations were all Nigerians from every tribe.
@@infotant: My opinion is from learned experience. It is the Igbos that hate Nigeria. You suggestion of hate is pure projection . Nigerian leaders have always used wedge issues to divide Nigerians . During the ENDSARS protests the Northern youth wanted to join but the politicians outsmarted them by telling them that the ENDSARS protest was organized by IPOB . Politicians have always seized on issues to feather their own nests . Everyone knows this was a lie but it worked to avert a more widespread crisis .The Igbos love propaganda but cry foul when it is used against them .
And when they couldn't dominate everyone in Nigeria, they started a civil war with the pretense that they wanted out of the Nigerian union but in truth were marching their armies towards Yorubaland cos they always saw Yorubaland as prime in Nigeria. Same thing played out in 2023 elections where they tried to foster an Ìgbò governor on Yorubas and tried to bully everyone into voting for an Ìgbò man as president of Nigeria so he can declare a prime YORUBA city state, Lagos as no man's land. They have always coveted Lagos. Nnamdi Azikiwe left Igboland/ Eastern region to try and become the premier of Yorubaland / Western region. Can you imagine that nonsense?
IGBOS will tell you they want to leave NIGERIA but they are the people with the most population living outside of their ancestral home in Nigeria. Ask them to go back home and they will tell you you're xenophobic. They go everywhere and tell the aborigines there that they are lazy etc. Same thing they did to South Africans and those ones unleashed "xenophobic" violence on all Nigerians not knowing that those who are involved the most in drugs and stuff in South Africa are Igbos.
How I wish Nigeria would break up. Yorubas have had enough. We need to make progress but Nigeria is dragging us back.
The Igbos should leave Nigeria. They are not civilized enough to be included in a democratic society.
Never again will it happen bro we have seen the light it shall not be well with the ibos
