If he truly committed suicide, his soul can't rest in peace.

Yes, he committed suicide by taking poison...and his soul is not resting in peace or has not been resting in peace, not because of the suicide but because he caused many children to suffer and die of hunger by blocking food supplies. That was what hunted him till he killed himself. Starve yourself or fast for few days, so you can imagine what those innocent kids passed through for months...years!

Changing currency thereby disenabling ojukwu to procure arms would have been enough to end the war, but he chose to kill millions of innocent children. Their innocent blood hunted him, and still hunting him. He also advised gowon against the Aburi Accord because gowon and his hausa brothers promised him he would rule but he was deceived.
The same way bubu will deceive jagaban.

The worse awolowo did was to give adult biafrans that survived the war, 20 pounds each only, to start afresh... irrespective of the amount they have in their bank account. My late dad was affected by this!
For instance if u saved about 50 million naira, they give you about 20k to start afresh!

The bitterness and hatred that your parents planted in you is the reason why you are sad, bitter, depressed and suicidal.

My parents didn't plant any bitterness and hatred in me. I'm only telling you history and the fact. I am neither sad nor depressed. I am living a happy life....and you should too.

We will always tell our history, no matter how bitter it is.

If I lied in any way against your former leader in my write-up above, please kindly point it out

Stop this, you can’t just post anything on Wikipedia because you have access to some information. I dare you to go ahead and add to Wikipedia that he committed suicide and then mention me so I can go see it myself.

It depends on what you mean by "great". Outside Yoruba land, nobody thinks Awolowo is great. The North see him as a useful slave while the East see him as a useless slave

Well, it is ur opinion and u can keep it to urself, Awolowo has written his name in the sand of history, u can keep hating or strive to achieve one tenth of what he achieved, of course I know that's not possible.

As long as u spend naira u will keep seeing Awolowo, u can choke with that.
