its like the man actually committed suicide, maybe not via Ratak . I have come to this conclusion cos despite all the taunts from the SEners here, none of d SWners have disputed d claims.

If he did go that way, I wonder what caused it?
Senility, Disease ...a setup?

His war policy of starvation that led to the deaths of so many children would be recognised as a war crime if it were today.
so you expect a country you are waging war against to be feeding you? NAFDAC needs to check the type of food products you are consuming.

Free education Awolowo lo lese -Its Awolowo that can provide free education
I was young when he died and I washed the burial ceremony on a small black and white TV put in a Masoleum and glass kind of casket. They put his cap and glasses on it. Those who witnessed it can confirm.

You can never please everyone in life because your good deeds is at the detriment of some people's mischievous acts. Awo can never be forgotten even the so called Ojukwu admitted that by calling him the best president Nigeria never had. It was during his era that Nigeria as a country competes with European country, it was then that Nigeria problem was not money but how to spend money. It is palpable that till now Nigeria has never had a leader who has foresight and commitment like Awo.
No wonder everything you did then was first in Africa that is why we are referred to as giant of Africa.
Awo ........... Our man
Only voice for the masses
You will always be remembered

What you see doesnt matter. Osinbajo is already acting as president.

When will the yEasterners ever rule the "zoo" since they will forever remain "slaves" in it?

Go and ponder that question.

Yes, the man that used over three million stubborn goats for pepper soup and suya between 1967 and 1970. Several years after the children and grandchildren of the stubborn goats of yester-years are still being used for suya by Fulani herdsmen.
and later died shamefully by drinking ota pia pia.
