Who Is Your Most Respected Nigerian Politician Of All Time? by myners007: 8:00am On Aug 31, 2013 |
I strongly believe that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was Nigeria most enlightened and progressive politician. His developmental vision is second to none. The western region that he governed was the most developed in terms of infrastructure and welfare package. Check OAU that he established over 50 yrs ago still remains nigeria's best university today let me know who do you think has acheived more than Chief Awolowo who also introduce free education in the then western region?. |

Funny enough I'll pick Awolowo. There might be others I'm missing. Ojukwu I respect and agree with some of his views but I'll pick Awo over him. |

Truth be told, in Nigeria it is a slot with more than one name unless you are tribalistic. |

If Awo was greatest Nigeria politician how come he didn't win the presidency? Awo is only respected in his SW enclave, he did not win anywhere in the north or east so how can he be a national hero. Local champ Yes national hero No. 4 Likes |

myners007 : The above poster is the major embodiment of Africa’s problem. What makes Awolowo the most enlightened and progressive politician in Nigeria? How could you measure the instances of free education in western region as compared with other regions where people are meant to understand the value of education? Besides money from government or through the domain of government, what did Awolowo achieve? 2 Likes |

Local champ Yes national hero No. Nigerians are not known to choose the best amongst them, are they? Ethnic and religious parochialism will make sure it never happens. They are only good at giving stupid eulogies like "the best president Nigeria never had". |

Aigbofa: I fundamentally detest the ideas of cheat beating and arrogation of emptiness commonly seen among certain people in Nigeria. There was western regional government of Nigeria and so was Awolowo. |

There is only one constant in nigerian politics AWOLOWO. Even your constitution is a bastardise version of the one he proposed. He knew every single ethnic nationality and their culture . He foresaw all the problems that is associated with nigeria and the struggle for control at the centre. HE WAS LOVED BY HIS LOVED AND RESPECTED BY HIS ADMIRERS AND HATED IN EQUAL MEASURE BY HIS ADVERSARIES. HE WAS PRINCIPLED ,APPROACHABLE AND CARING BUT CAN BE EQUALLY RUTHLESS WHEN CROSSED. ALL THE HALLMARK OF A GREAT LEADER. BUT HIS VOICE WAS IGNORED BY THE ELITE IN THEIR SCRAMBLE FOR THE NATION'S WEALTH. IMAGINE IN A STATE LIKE BENUE HAVING TIV STATE AND AN IDOMA STATE.IBIOBIO STATE ,ANANG STATE ETC ALL SELF GOVERNING UNIT RELYING ON THEIR OWN RESOURCES WITHIN A BENUE REGION ,CALABAR REGION WOULD NIGERIA NOT BE MORE STABLE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS? 6 Likes |

U said respected bar? Not popular.. By virtue of such qualification, I give it to Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo. Av bin to almost all geopolitical zones in Naija and a large percentage do give credence to his charima and works though his shortcomings were highlighted. Awo, Ladoke, Sarduana n ko smtimes r seen as tribal. Dnt mention any1 during our tym o!! Cos most of dem are nt respected.. Nt an inch!! |
