	Ibadan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is located in south-western Nigeria, 78 miles inland from Lagos and is a prominent transit point between the coastal region and the areas to the north.
		The first university to be set up in Nigeria was the University of Ibadan (established as a college of the University of London when it was founded in 1948, and later converted into an autonomous university in 1962).
		Ibadan and its environs before the dissolution of the Western Region, Nigeria was the home of the most sophisticated and liberal scientific and cultural community on the continent of Africa; as personified by the immortalized Ibadan School.

	Obafemi Awolowo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was the first indigenous Premier of the Western Region under Nigeria's parliamentary system, from 1952 to 1960, and was the official Leader of the Opposition in the federal parliament to the Balewa government from 1960 to 1963.
		Controversially, and at considerable expense, he introduced free primary education for all in the Western Region, established television service, and expanded electrification projects in the region using proceeds from the highly lucrative cacao export industry.
		Chief Awolowo was respected by his peers in western Nigeria, and many politicans continue to invoke his name, his policies, and the popular slogan of his Action Group party—"Life More Abundant"—during campaigns.

	Vanguard - Columns : Again, the wild West?
		The Western Nigeria crisis was the immediate forebear of the larger Nigerian crisis, which led to the coup of January 15,1966, and to the counter-coup of July 1966, and eventually to the thirty-month long Nigeria/Biafra civil war.
		The fracas that broke in the Western House that day, began merely a tip of the iceberg, for, under the guise of a breakdown in law in the West, the Balewa government, in spite of all advise to the contrary from the West, declared a state of emergency.
		The events in Western Nigeria in the ‘60s culminated in the civil war, in which the East bore the burden of a convenient truce.

	Nigeriaworld Feature Article - ‘Yoruba Ronu’ and “Yoruba: The Homo Sequedum”

		Nigeria needs to keep emulating great democratic cultures all over the world particularly the United States from where the Presidential system of government is borrowed.

	Nigeriaworld -- ASUU must disband now!
		This last Wednesday the western chapter of the NUT announced its decision to split off from its parent body, in order to form an autonomous organization for teachers of the nine states that make up the old western region of Nigeria.
		Were the allegation of Onafuye ever to be proven true, all the Igbo need to say to their Western counterparts is: welcome to the world of ethnic deceit and marginalization which is a part and parcel of the post-civil war culture in Nigeria.
		Some of these comments give the impression that those leading this elite organization are either misinformed about what is happening in the world of university institutions or they have become completely taken in by their labor advocacy that they have lost touch and sight of what a university institution stands for in the contemporary world.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Nigeria's ethnic unity under stress and strain
		The ensuing and escalating ethnic crisis triggered off what came to be known as the pogrom in 1966 in Northern Nigeria, the homeland of the Hausas where hundreds and hundreds of Igbo people who had settled in the North were massacred.
		The rest of Nigeria regarded the declaration of the Republic of Biafra as a rebellion against one and indivisible Nigeria.
		And so, for 30 months, the Hausa-fulanis (who constitute the political establishment of northern Nigeria) supported by the Yorubas and ethnic minorities of the North and the South successfully prosecuted the civil war to keep Nigeria one as united country.

	The Crises in Western Nigeria
		On the same day the Premier asked the Speaker for the same reasons to convene the Western House of Assembly for Wednesday 23 May, to consider and pass the Motion for a vote of confidence in the Government of Western Nigeria, but the Speaker also refused.
		We were surely not responsible for the chain of events that led to the party and personal wrangles, to the attempted by-passing of the Western Legislature, or to the mutual dismissal and counter-dismissal between Governor and Premier.
		But we would be called upon to deal with a Government in the western Region and it would be very difficult for us to know whether the government voted in the way that the other faction wanted us to believe would be acceptable to us.
