adekunle0000:
RIP MAMA but please tell Chief Awolowo that the Free Education for the mass production of schools attendees, Genocide through food blockage he helped championed, 20 pounds and Indigenization decree has done nothing to put we Omo Odua ahead of other tribes. Tell him that the Southeastern are at the top of their game again. Adieu Mama. We will miss your counsel.

tigar007:


You areva very vain man; and like most vain, you are half-instructed in knowledge and less than half disciplined in reasoning powers. Your vanity has been downplayed

On top of the imaginary game in your head...
Impostor.

tupacshakur:

Well, I leave with you with these quotes by the "Greatest" Igbo man that ever lived:

"As a leader of the modern cast, Awolowo has left Nigeria standards which are indelible, standards beside which future aspirants to public leadership can be eternally measured. He was firm, articulate, painstaking, and uncompromising. He was, for a long time, the only Nigerian leader who enunciated principles and played down personalities. He was a brilliant political administrator and a most erudite teacher. He not only identified himself wholly with the aspirations of the Yoruba people of Nigeria but also he was able to convince the Yoruba people of Nigeria that he and only he epitomized the highest point of their political aspirations and consciousness. He was loved, he was feared but above all he belonged to the people he professed to lead. At his death I had the singular honour of proposing for him the epitaph that has endured – ‘he was the best President that Nigeria never had’..."

- Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (1987)


"Awolowo was a leader of great Stature. He was a Leader who was eminently successful. That he did not fulfill a presidential ambition cannot detract from his leadership, and us, poor us, who were not his people, must continue, to regret that our own leaders (Nnamdi Azikiwe, Michael Okpara) had not led us as he did his people or achieved for us as he did for his people..."


- Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Because I am involved - 1998)

CSTR2:
Bleh.
I don't give a hoot.

RIP HIV Awolowo

You will be dead before you reach her age anyways .....
And not even a fly will notice.

CSTR2:
Are you mad?
Someone would died without making any significant impact in Nigeria should be honoured on nairaland?
Who the hell is she beyond the brown roof habitats of the SW?
And yes, 99 years is too long a time to live especially when it is a life of national inconsequence.

Who was the wife of Zik? I am sure she was so inconsequential that nobody even remembers her name.

TVC NEWS [IKENNE] - Wife of the Nigerian foremost late Politician and one of the country's founding father, Obafemi Awolowo, Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo is dead. She was aged 99.

Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo (née Adelana), popularly known as HID, was born on November 25, 1915 to a modest family in the small Ikenne community of Ogun State in Nigeria.

She was the widow of the late politician Obafemi Awolowo, who famously referred to her as his "jewel of inestimable value".

A successful businesswoman and astute politician, she was the First Lady of the old Western Region. HID played an active role in the politics of Western Nigeria.

I won't behave like yolobastards that insulted the great ikemba and prof Achebe at death.

It is not in our culture to speak ill of d dead.

RIP Mama Awolowo, though I hate Ur husband with passion

scholes0:


Are you Stewpid?
When your sissy coward Ojucrook kicked the bucket, I remember very well, he was remembered here on Nairaland... that sissy crook.
What is he to most Nigerians beyond the red mud evil forests of the South East anyways?
He died at the age of 78..... waay to old for such a villain to live.

CSTR2:
Shut up, you nitwit.
It is my prerogative to honour whoever i want. Your HIV or whoever does not deserve my honour.
Deal with it.
And good of you to bring ojukwu into the discussion.
If you can't see the fact that ojukwu that rallied his people together to prevent a genocide and created military hardwares that your country can't develop more than 40 years later is deserving of national honour, then that is your own business.
