Overview

"Under the Fulani aristocracy, the Northerners wanted to secede from Nigeria and they were violent about it, as evident in the Kano Riots of 1953. However, Dr. Nnamdi ""Ibrahim"" Azikiwe intervened to stop them. By contrast, in 1967, which was 14 years later, the Igbo Eastern Nigeria, declared secession, but it had become an illegal and treasonable offense, through the genius of Dr. Azikiwe, who compared Nigeria to the USA. When Nigeria was at a crossroads in 1967 to part ways, the British diplomats guided Gowon to release Awolowo from prison and used him to fight the Igbos. Unfortunately, he was merely used and dumped. Today, the concept of one Nigeria remains tenuous. The Southerners want self-determination. To navigate the way forward, past mistakes must first be understood: and that's the reason for this book."
