Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa's Visit To The United States Of America by searchcorp(m): 12:04am On Feb 23, 2013
i just came across this video while going about my own internet business (definitely), well, i was so impressed as to how the Golden Voice of Africa carried himself all through, an ebullient speaker of great eloquence, he was indeed very influential, one would have thought that Nigeria would be the most envied country in Africa by now.

i don't know if this video has been posted here on nairaland before, but then i would strongly recommend that you watch this video and be proud again to be called a Nigerian.

for those on cheap mtn, etisalat and glo data plans, i understand if you dont watch the clip, it is not your fault.... GGMUB!

sincerely...this shows a lot...i don't think USA will honour any Nigerian Presidents in such extensive manner again...we have abused it. just imagine a president going to USA for MEDICAL CHECKUP weekly, staying in hotels, i remember GEJ speaking at an empty UN assembly. Sir Tafawa Balewa was so prudent that he went to USA only on the invitation of the US President, also, he allowed journalist to follow him to every event, unlike the way our leaders today lie about their whereabouts. Balewa flew in a USA airline...what does that tell you? so much to learn from the life of a man who led with much humility and sincerity, he was killed in a coup led by Aguyi Ironsi, He died leaving behind just a bungalow home and little money for the family, until Nigeria gathers to pray for God's forgiveness, we might never get such honest leaders again. sad ... and Buhari wept.
