Nigeria, A 'geographical Expression' ------- Awolowo

Each time I read this statement by Awolowo, it brings out these questions; Did Awo believe in Nigerian state? Would Awo have fought an Oduduwa war? Was Awo and his loyalists Nigerians? Questions upon questions begging for answers. It even gets worse and more painful now that some persons are saying that Awo was a national hero. Which nation? Oduduwa nation, or Nigerian nation that's just a 'geographical expression'?
