Dialogues: RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: NigerianID

Can Obi Nwakanma shed light on : when Northern Element Progressive Union (NEPU) was formed; What were the Hausa names for NEPU?; When did Aminu Kano become the leader of NEPU?; When did NEPU become the political ally of the NCNC?; And in what way(s) did Awo, Sardauna and Balewa prove to be British Stooges in 1947?

Mallam Kano was 2nd Vice-President of the NCNC, the nationalist party, he was no tribalist. He as a bold fighter for the oppressed, and a bold, liberal critic of the revanchist politics of his school mates, Ahmadu Rabah and Balewa. Kano and Zaria were Zikist strongholds in the North, and were possibly the most politically liberal cities of the old North. But for the manipulation of the electoral system and the suppression of the Votes in the North, Mallam Kano may have led the Nationalist party to victory in the Northern region, and might have been the first premier of the North. He was quite prepared both politically, intellectually and temprementally for it. The British, as the archives are increasingly revealing, would never allow Mallam Kano or the Nationalists to govern in the North, and with that possibility, change the fate of postcolonial Nigeria. They needed their men in the North and the South: Awo, the Sarduana, and Balewa were British stooges who were central to the British aims, and were used in 1947 to subvert the anti-colonial Nationalist movement. Facts are sacred.

Mallam Emeka,

I also read Awo's books and attended at least five of his rallies....maybe I also count as his ``associate". I probably read everything written by (and on) Mallam Aminu Kano. I surely wasn't his ``associate", but did learn a great deal just observing him (on and off the political stage). What a great man he was. As far as I know, no one has ever accused Mallam Aminu of tribalism....I stand to be corrected.

Comment:

Abba,

By all considerations, I was Awo's associate. I say, we were both in the same party (UPN) and we were both officials of the party, albeit at different levels. But the fact remains that I unusually interacted with Papa in that capacity much more than you can imagine. I did not just see him the way you saw Mallam Aminu Kano interacting with little children and his friends, I worked with him as a party official! I read his memoirs, I read his books and he physically addressed us occasionally.

Awo was a vivacious nigerian nationalist and politician with unqualified and unstoppable gumption to see Nigeria on a global map of the world's greatest countries. Yes, Awo was not in politics to "play" politics, he was in politics to make Nigeria great. Such a person cannot be a tribalist!

Following your logic, since you regard Awo as a "tribalist"--you are also a tribalist, and by extension the "millions outside the SW" must also be tribalists; hence "tribalism" COULD NOT have been the reason for his being rejected.

Pastor Okala,I cannot begrudge
you your personal opinion / perception about
Awo.
However you are
shifting the goal posts. Yours that I responded to was the
argument that '.. The ones
accusing Awo today of tribalism are the very epitome of
tribalism'. As if
there is something inherently wrong with a tribalist
recognising a fellow tribalist. That is your argument that
did not make sense to me. Sometimes it may actually take one
tribalist to recognise another.

Is
there
anything Abba said about Awo that is not known by 99% of
Nigerians? Awo
was a visionary, yes, but he was also a tribalist -- he was
the father
of the politics of dividing Nigerians along tribal
lines -- a divisive
mechanism in the Nigerian political process. Do not let
Leye Ige and Ayo
Ojutalayo, two experts at concerted flatulence expulsion,
fool you with
their agonizing yowls.

By no
means
does the above suggest that the Northern leaders of the era
(Sarduana and
Balewa) were not equally tribalistic. They were tribal lords
too, their only
distinction with Awo was that they were straightforward. Awo
was as cunning
about his tribalism as are his worshippers of Ige and
Ojutalayo today.

Bro. Joe,

My own view of Awo was based on what I personally
heard from some of
Awo's peers and what I have read from the writings
(memoirs mostly) of some of
those peers of his. I also saw (with my own eyes) his
actions during the
PPA/PPP alliance initiative. Those within the SW may not
know how others
saw their hero....but he surely was seen by the
overwhelming majority outside
the SW in the way that we described.   There are lessons
to be
learnt....and I think the likes of MKO and Tinubu made
this quite clear.
It is not about Awo bashing. It is about presenting
history from the

vantage point of those of us in the know.   No be
so-:)))?

Ayo: I am happy
you cannot cite an
instance of Awo diverting to his "tribe"
what should have gone to another
"tribe". What then is tribalism? So you have
no evidence that Awo was a
tribalist? You only believe he was a tribalist because
he "was a tribalist
in the eyes of pretty much all his peers outside
SW"? That is why I
normally don't bother to defend allegation of
tribalism against Papa
Awolowo. It is a baseless allegation. You are guilty
of the same thing I
quarrel with people for concerning Buhari being
"a tribalist in the eyes
of pretty much of Nigerians from the South". You
must have read allegation
of tribalism against Buhari for visiting Oyo State
Governor to complain
about harassment of Fulanis and their cows while
traveling through Oyo
State. My response was that I expected Obasanjo to do
the same if Yorubas
complain of being harassed any where outside SW. That
is not tribalism.
That Sadauna preferred to remain as Premier of
Northern Region instead of
being the country's Prime Minister was to me, not
tribalism even though
"in the eyes of millions of Nigerians it was
tribalism". That Ojukwu led
Igbos in an attempt to secede from Nigeria did not
mean that he was a
tribalist. Unlike what happens in developed countries
where younger
generations form their own opinions of people and
issues concerning other
ethnicities and races (in most cases disagreeing with
their parents'
stereotypes, biases and prejudices), your generation
in Nigeria
unfortunately just agreed with what was passed on to
you by a biased and
prejudiced older generation.

Abba: The SW region is not any
better up in terms of
public education than the rest of the country... there
isn't a single
school in the SW that matters in the global scheme of
things (the entire
education system in the country has failed, so the
notion of one region
doing any better than the others is, in my estimation,
neither here nor
there).
Ayo: Abba,
this is not an academic
discussion, you know what I am talking about. You
cannot compare literacy
level of SW with that of Northern Nigeria, and it has
to do with what
Awolowo and his team did in the 50's and the
60's. There have been public
confessions of professionals that said they would not
have gone to school
or beyond primary school if not for Awo's free
education. Such
individual's children who are also professionals
today might not have gone
to school if their parents did not go to school. There
have been
Easterners who made such confessions having enjoyed
Awo's free education.
We don't need statistics to know that there must
be more Doctors, more
Engineers etc from each of SW states than from all the
Northern States
combined for example. Papa Awo foresaw this situation
and wanted it
avoided with his education plan for the whole country.
If he were a
tribalist, he would not have wished for the whole
country, the "good life"
he provided for his
"tribe".

Abba: It isn't true that Awo
was  resented by
folks North of the Niger because the Northern elites
didn't want the North
to be educated (people keep attributing such to the
elites, and they
couldn't be more wrong; there was a reason why
people resisted western
education at some point in history....we should not
try to re-write
history).

Ayo: Okay
Abba, why was Awo
resented by folks North of Niger? Why would he not be
allowed to campaign
in Northern towns and cities? Why do first class
educated people like Abba
still believe Awo was a tribalist without
evidence?

  Papa Awolowo with reverence whenever he speaks

Northern Nigeria be as educationally backward as it
is today? You
probably were too young to know that the resentment

of the Northern
establishment leaders' determination to shield
Northern Talakawas from
western education and western ways of life. What
Papa Awolowo did for
Western Region as Premier, he wanted to do for
Nigeria as Prime Minister
hence he resigned as Premier to become the national
opposition leader.
What was tribalistic in that?

Because PMB is a frank, honest
and humble person, I
am sure PMB will not hesitate to say that comparing
him with Papa Awo is
like comparing sleep with death and that he was not

the innocent single typo (of 2016 instead of
2015) in PMB's
letter.
In other words, PMB's civil servants
are a lot smarter (judging
by predisposition to make typographical error)
than

Awo's.   Hehehhehehe. Na you cause am
wo...you
should let the sleeping Ajegunlean dog to lie
kampe wo.
