If other politicians from other regions, except SE were killed, why was Awolowo spared
Just asking for a friend.

Or why were they not imprisoned like Awolowo instead of being killed?!

Awolowo was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in 1962
So to answer your idiotic questions he was in prison and wasn't the premier then
Igbos killed the premier Ladoke Akintola

Akintola with the aid of sarduna and balewa jailed Awolowo for treason and awolowo masterminded the death of akintola from prison

Awolowo must be very powerful to find himself in prison then.

Very good questions
Agbadorians have made Akintola their supreme hero all of a sudden just to drive home a faulty narrative of the January coup plotters being ethnic champions. Ask them why Awolowo was not killed since he was the real leader of the south west, and they start speaking as if the have hot ewa in their mouths.

Mention one person that was killed in prison during the yoruba coup.

If awolowo wasn’t imprisoned there would have been no coup

You mean he wasn't the mastermind behind the coup?

You should be asking why Azikiwe was not killed.

Why Azikiwe run away outside the country few weeks to the coup?

Their answer is that others also had an insight that a coup was about to happen but decided to stay and not run away.

Where was Azikiwe in your story? Azikiwe, Balewa and Sardauna obviously conspired to put their political rival in prison.

Azikwe, Micheal opera,ojukwu all planned it to install aguyin ironsi .go and listen to zik’s interview immediately after the coup,he already prepared aguyin ironsi to take over. You can’t fool the northerners ! They know why they nearly killed all the easterners during the war! You can only fool yourselves . Ibb was just saying those rubbish in his book to pacify the ibos,becos of what he benefitted from the doom of the ibos during the war.

Operation wetie in yorubaland was the reason for the coup. Akintola vs Awolowo

Now in a desperate attempt to undermine history, it is why was Awolowo not killed

Even though Awolowo was a prime minister he wasnt really a threat by virtue of his ideology .. Awolowo wanted west to stand alone, and the east never wanted a coalition of west and North,

Ladoke Akintola on the other hand was a threat pushing for a coalition with the North.. thats what east dont want, so he became the appropriate target in west.

Even till now Igbos cant stand, southwest and North coalition they prefer they replace west

Question 1: Jailed at where??
Answer: Calabar, Eastern Nigeria that was totally under the control of the coupists..

Question 2: Why was the manikin in jail at Calabar??
Answer: He plotted a coup, and was caught, dutifully tried in a court of competent jurisdiction, and was effectively sentenced for treason.

Question 3: If the Yorubas recognised him as their true leader, and the coup according to agbadorian mutants was all about igbo officers eliminating the leaders of all other regions but theirs, why was Awolowo who was sitting on a platter at Calabar saved?


...,we are waiting for your normal uncouth outbursts, because you can never provide any good answers to that

Is that what you people call it in ibo land?? But don’t you think that the 3million ibo killed is not enough compared to their premier?? You killed their premier then you went ahead to start taunting them thinking they are Yoruba that just take things easy ? The biggest mistake of your forefathers !

Because Awolowo was part of the plan and he was to be made the Prime minister but he betrayed his associates just like the Yorubads ways do. Ask El-Rufai and he'll explain to you what Yorubas did to him.

Shukudi your father’s lies has been debunked many times! Awolowo was banking on aguyin ironsi to release him but out of zik and agunyi irosis stupidity and wickedness he declined. He never knew what was coming for him! It was easy for Awolowo to deal with biafrans in the war!
