Chief Dr. NNAMDI AZIKIWE Chief Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe, PC, PhD (16 November 1904 – 11 May 1996), usually referred to as Nnamdi Azikiwe or Zik, was a prominent Nigerian nationalist and statesman who served as the first President of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966, holding the presidency throughout the Nigerian First Republic. He is popularly considered a driving force behind the nation's independence and came to be known as the "father of Nigerian Nationalism". Born to Igbo parents in Zungeru, present-day Niger State, Azikiwe learned to speak Hausa, the main indigenous language of the Northern Region at an early age. He later lived in Onitsha, his parental homeland where he was raised by his aunt and grandmother and learned the Igbo language. A sojourn in Lagos exposed him to the Yoruba language and he was in college, he had been exposed to different Nigerian cultures. Motivated to get a university education, he travelled to the U.S. and attended various colleges including storey College, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania and Howardreturning to Africa in 1934 to start work as a journalist in the Gold Coast. British West Africa, Azikiwe was an important advocate of Nigerian and African nationalism, first as a journalist and later as a political leader. Biography: Azikiwe was born on 16 November 1904, in Zungeru, Northern Nigeria. Nnamdi means "My father is alive" in the Igbo language. His parents were Igbo; his father Obed-Edom Chukwuemeka Azikiwe[5] (1879–1958), an Onitsha-indigene and clerk in the British Administration of Nigeria [6] who travelled extensively because of the nature of his job. Zik's mother was Rachel Chinwe Azikiwe sometimes called Nwanonaku[5][7] whose family was descended from a royal house in Onitsha; her paternal great grandfather was Obi Anazenwu.[7] Azikiwe had one sibling, a sister named Cecilia Eziamaka Arinze.[7] Growing up as a young boy in northern Nigeria, Azikiwe spoke Hausa, the language of the region, however, his father apprehensive of his child's fluency in Hausa and not Igbo sent him to Onitsha in 1912 to live with his paternal grandmother and aunt in order to learn the Igbo language and culture.[8]In Onitsha, he attended Holy Trinity School, a Roman Catholic Mission school and then Christ Church School, an Anglican primary school. In 1914, his father was working in Lagos and when Azikiwe was bitten by a dog, his father worried about Zik's health asked him to come to Lagos so as to heal and also attend school in the was to seek an appropriate appointment in Nigeria that was commensurate with his education but after several applications including a teaching job at King's College and getting no positive response, he took an offer from Ghanaian businessman Alfred Ocansey to become the founding editor African Morning Post, a daily newspaper in Accra, Ghana. Zik was given a free hand to run the newspaper and recruited many of the pioneer staff. Azikiwe wrote a column for the paper tagged Inside Stuff by Zik, a platform which he used for radical nationalistic and black pride preachment but generated alarm within colonial circles. As an editor, he promoted a pro-African nationalist agenda. Smertin has described his writing there: "In his passionately denunciatory articles and public statements, he censured the existing colonial order: the restrictions on the Africans' right to express their opinions, and racial discrimination. He also criticised those Africans who belonged to the "elite" of colonial society and favoured retaining the existing order, as they regarded it as the basis of their well being." It was during his period in Accra that he advanced his idea of New Africa, a black pride philosophy that was expanded in his published book, Renascent Africa. New Africa is a state where Africans will be divorced from ethnic affiliations and traditional authorities and transformed by five philosophical pillars of spiritual balance, social regeneration, economic determinism, mental emancipation and national Risorgimento. In the Gold coast, Azikiwe did not shy away from local politics and the paper supported the local Mambii party. As a result of publishing an article on 15 May 1936, entitled "Has the African a God?" written by I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson, he was brought to trial on charges of sedition. Although he was found guilty of the charges and sentenced to six months in prison, he was acquitted on appeal. He returned to Lagos, Nigeria in 1937 and started the West African Pilot, a newspaper he used to promote Nigerian nationalism. Along with the Pilot, he started a string of newspapers under the Zik Group of Newspapers in politically and economically important cities across the country. The flagship newspaper of the group was West African Pilot which used Dante Alighieri's "Show the light and the people will find the way as motto." The others papers in the group included The Southern Nigeria Defender from Warri and later Ibadan, Eastern Guardian founded in 1940 TRIVIA: SPORTS: POLITICS: LEGACY: that Azikiwe will not be nominated broke down. Azikiwe blamed the constitution and wanted changes to be made. The NCNC which dominated the Eastern region also followed Azikiwe's views and was committed to see the constitution be amended. and the West African Students' Union to raise awareness about its proposals for amendments to the 1922 constitution. Included in NCNC's proposals was consultation with Africans about changes in Nigerian constitution, more power provided to the regional House of Assemblies and limiting the powers of the central Legislative Council to matters affecting defense, currency and foreign affairs. The delegation submitted its proposals to the colonial secretary but little was done to make changes to Richard's proposals. The Richards Constitution was allowed to take effect on 1947 and Azikiwe contested for one of the Lagos seats to stall the implementation of the new constitution. and published in Port Harcourt, and Nigerian Spokesman at Onitsha. In 1944, the group acquired Duse Mohamed's the Comet. Zik's newspaper venture was both a business and a political tool. To succeed as a business, the Pilot gave less attention to advertising and focused more on its circulation largely because expatriate firms dominated the Nigerian economy. Many of Zik's newspapers placed emphasis on sensationalism and human interest stories; the Pilot introduced a women's section and introduced coverage of sports and increasing its Nigerian content against main competitor, theDaily Times expatriate and foreign news service dominated stories. The pilot started with an initial run of 6,000 copies daily and at its peak in 1950, it was printing over 20,000 copies. During the paper's run, Zik established a few other business ventures such as African Continental Bank and Penny restaurant and used his newspapers as a medium to advertise these ventures. feelings he later overcame. Azikiwe participated in Storer's athletics and cross-country teams before he transferred to Howard University, Washington DC, He then enrolled and graduated from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, in 1930, obtaining a master's degree in Religion from Lincoln University in 1932 and another master's degree in Anthropology from University of Pennsylvania in 1934. Azikiwe became a graduate student instructor in the history and political science department at Lincoln creating an African history course. He was a candidate for a doctorate degree from Columbia before returning to Nigeria in 1934. His main doctorate research was Liberia in world politics and the research paper was published by A.H. Stockwell in 1934. During the time he was in America, Azikiwe was a columnist for the Baltimore Afro-American, Philadelphia Tribune and the Associated Negro Press. He was influenced by the ideals of the African American press, Garveyism and Pan-Africanism while writing for those papers. city. Two years later, his father was posted out of Lagos to Kaduna and Azikiwe briefly lived with a relative who was married to a Muslim from Sierra Leone. He was back in Onitsha by 1918 and finished his elementary education at CMS Central School where he also served as a pupil-teacher supporting his mother with some of his earnings. In 1920, his father was posted back to Southern Nigeria in the Southeastern city of Calabar. Zik joined his father in Calabar and started his secondary school at Hope Waddell Training College. In Calabar, he was introduced to the teachings of Marcus Garvey, Garveyism later an important part in his nationalistic rhetoric. Upon his death, The New York Times comments that Nnamdi “towered over the affairs of Africa’s most populous nation, attaining the rare status of a truly national hero who came to be admired across the regional and ethnic lines dividing his country.” Quite the honor from one of the best publications of modern times. the media outlet of NYM support. black pride and empowering nature were at the dismay of many colonialist politicians, and the benefit of millions of marginalized Africans’. Furthermore, he would establish the West African Pilot in 1937 with the motto of “show the light and the people will find the way”. East African newspapers generally published in Swahili, excluding newsletters like the East African Standard. In West Africa, however, Nnamdi was revolutionizing the newspaper industry, showing how “journalism can be a successful business enterprise”. Moreover, by printing his West African Pilot newspapers, as an English-language based newspaper, with the similar African nationalist rhetoric that made him so renown, the newspaper line exploded. By 1950, the five leading African-run newspapers in the Eastern region, including Gold Coast, Nnamdi’s biggest rival the Nigerian Daily Times, and others, were out printed by the thousands, combined, in comparison to Nnamdi’s Pilot which sold over seventeen thousand copies daily. On July 8th, 1945, the Nigerian government banned the West African Pilot and the Daily Comet, another Nnamdi affiliated newsletter, for “misrepresenting facts about the general strike. This was acknowledged by Nnamdi, but he would not be silenced, continuing his perspective of the strike in his Port Harcourt newsletter, the Guardian. He would later lead a general strike of his own, in 1945, and later hold the premiership of East Nigeria (1954–59). By the 1960s, post-Nigeria’s independence, although the West African Pilot was circulated throughout the country, it was particularly strong in the east. Azikiwe, as well as his usual rhetoric, also took particular aim at groups that preached politics of exclusion. Azikiwe was often criticized by a section of the Yoruba’s for using his newspaper to suppress opposition to his views, since anyone who spoke outran the risk of being labelled an "Uncle Tom" or "imperialist stooge", ultimately destroying their reputation. |
