1950's, Zik and Ojukwu Sr. had a bank, ACB. He took the revenues of ENDC, had it deposited in the bank and then loaned himself and loyal Igbo NCNC followers long term low interest loans. The money came from revenues from palm oil and rubber plantations from the South/South region Zik then used the money to fund NCNC. This got a strong party member Eyo Ita upset. He resigned from the party. A lot of South/South minorities left with him. The scandal led to the Sutton enquiry and indictment of Zik as the first man convicted of corruption in local politics.

Saro elitists are not indigenous to Lagos. they are not originally from Lagos, they have no stake in its foundations and evolution into a city. They migrated as reformatted foot soldiers of the British shortly before the campaign to invade Lagos and sack Oba Kosoko. They are not the voice of the natives. This is why they don’t think twice to sabotage Yoruba interest and celebrate Zik over Awolowo, These same saro elitists were willing tools for Zik's conquest agenda of Yorubaland starting from Lagos as they were to the British

Sage Awo observed in the 40's that there was a reckless agenda of the sons of Zik to set themselves up as a master race & the obstacle was the Yoruba intelligentsia of which he was leader.

He resisted Igbo doctrine of Herrenvolk Image A Greek gift is an art of deception where your enemies pretend to be your friends & take you off guards to conquer your. Goblin nose, very much as Zik Is a Greek gift. A false messiah desperate to brainwash Yoruba Youths and use the tensions in Nigeria for a Zikist agenda, Image

Sage Awolowo observed in 1940 that Igbo politics was built on hate for Yoruba people and obsession for their heritage. As it was in those days, so it is today. Embracing from a people obsessed to destroy you to rise at your back is ethnic suicide. A quick walk on history lane: Image 1951, Zikism politics of the East was built on a near obsession to conquer westen region through politics. The sage checkmated this and saved us from a people who would have boasted today of how they conquered us, same way they hype their influence in their local London ( Lagos)

When you see the East fighting the North, irrespective of energy, think of a side chic fighting her sugar daddy for neglecting her. But I dare tell you, when it is election time, the mistress dares not stand up to the sugardaddy. It is a cry for attention When sugar daddy dumped NCNC for Akintola, mistress arranged a coup. When sugar daddy removed Ironsi, from power, mistress fought Biafra war. 1978 elections, mistress forgot all the Biafra saga and the warlord even came back home to campaign for the sugardaddy
