succeed, well established history, complex but
focused life style, great hope and aspirations…
the East is good in business and technology, the
west is good in administration and commerce,
law and medicine, but it was a pity we planned
our agenda to give power “at all cost” to the
northerner. They seemed to be submissive and
silly of a kind. Our mission was accomplished by
destroying the opposition at all fronts.
The west led in the fight for the independence,
and was punished for asking for freedom. They
will not rule Nigeria! Harold Smith confessed
that the Census results were announced before
they were counted. Despite seeing vast land with

the north 55 million instead of 32 Million. This
was to be used to maintain their majority votes
and future power bid. He stated that the West
without Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria

traditional rulers were to be made influential and
super human. The northerners were given
accelerated promotions both in the military and
civil service to justify their superiority over the
south. Everything was to work against the
south. We truncated their good plan for their
future.

and the east and sowed a seed of discord

be the main man with power. Awolowo has to
go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater
Nigeria. ‘’Looking at the northern leaders now ,
If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it
is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria….’’
Now this same census figures, very important in
allocation of positions and power within the
Sovereign called Nigeria, have been disputed
historically:
