Nnamdi Azikiwe; A Great Man Who Failed His Own People By Elochukwu Ohagi

Zik is an intelligent man, but deeply selfish. No man that is imbibed with the philosophy of Zik can properly analyze the Nigeria problem. You can hardly see any written protest or complaint of Zik against the killing of Ndi Igbo and other Easterners in the North during his time.
Zik believed that saying those things will hit up the polity. Zik and those that believe in him believed that it is better to keep quiet when the Hausa Fulani takes up a religious riot and kill many. They all have it as a task to protect one Nigeria. And till this today, Zik and those who thinks like him are still protecting One Nigeria while people are sacrificed.

Zik never wanted a divided Nigeria. Meaning that Zik don't want Biafra and when the opportunity came he crossed over into Lagos Nigeria. Those that witnessed the war knew how they felt the day pamphlets where falling from the air, littering the bomb shattered Biafra lands. From bunkers people came forth to pick the papers that says ....Zik has surrendered! It was so disheartening for Biafrans. It killed the morale to continue. Oh Zik was so revered by many. The fighting spirits of the soldiers were weakened.

He then broke the camel's back when he traveled to Britain and gave a press release. There he called us all rebels. The world thought they were all right in decimating Biafrans. If one of them, a leader can call them rebels, then we are right.

But the world didn't know that Zik is a very selfish man whose quest to rule a very vast land and unite sheep with beasts inspired him to justify the genocide meted on his own people.

Anyone sweet talking you into believing that Zik crossed into Nigeria to save Ndi Igbo from extermination is a shameless liar. When Zik crossed over into Nigeria the killings didn't stop, it continued even after Biafrans surrendered. Th Nigeria army still killed Biafrans after they surrendered. Remember Olanna in Chimamanda Adichie's award winning 'Half Of The Yellow Sun'? She was killed when the war must have ended. Thousands of Igbo people lost their lives after the war must have ended. Ziks crossing over was selfish and nothing else.
Akanu Ibiam was every where conversing, bringing and attracting aides to Biafra land and here is a Zik that went to Britain and in a Shell inspired press release called us all rebels. He has opportunity to speak for us, but instead he spoke for One Useless Nigeria and some people are here talking trash, trying to sell nonsense to us.

There is no freedom or survival in Zikist philosophy. I stand today to say that Zik failed to understand the plurality of Nigeria. Amadu Bello, Awolowo all understood Nigeria but Zik. He has this utopian believe of Uniting the ununitable Nigeria. Nnamdi Azikiwe's beginning was a success, but to an Igbo man he is a failure.

Any Biafran that allows himself to be washed into writing the minds of unscrupulous elements who thinks they can infiltrate us and change our thinking is not yet ready for the liberation struggle.

Lovers of Zikist philosophy are One Nigeria apologists.
