Obi Nwakanma,
You have returned with your opportunistic misinformation and distortions of history. What did Zik who preferred Ghana do to develop Lagos? What did he do to develop the East talk less of Lagos.
You always want to claim credit where you have contributed nothing. Soon you will claim Igbo votes secured Buhari's victory in 2015.
Zik was an opportunist who saw the old Herbert Macaulay as waning and he came to take over all the old man's hard work and turn the NCNC into a rabid Igbo party. He was too envious of the Yoruba that when in 1959 Awo offered him the Prime Minister and he become the Minister of Finance he rejected the opprtunity to become the most powerful politician in Nigeria.
Instead he chose to become a mere figurehead to the Balewa government that he ended up betraying and running away from by guise of a Carribean cruise holiday when he knew his boys would strike.
Look you can spread your lies but it will not hold any water.
Cheers.
IBK
--I am interested in this. Can you elaborate? I ask because I was just saying to my cousin who is visiting how much I wished Zik had become the first Premier of the Western Region, that ethnic relations in Nigeria would have been different especially between the West and East. His response was unexpected: what did Zik do for the East as Premier? UNN? But Awolowo is immortalized for what he was able to accomplish for the West, still without equal. So, you see why I am interested in Zik’s contributions to Lagos?On 4/9/15, 12:22 AM, "Rex Marinus" <rexmarinus@hotmail.com> wrote:Azikiwe contributed more to the economic and cultural development of Lagos than Awolowo, for instance.
