A hero of modern day Nigeria |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by AndreUweh(m): 12:23am On Feb 15, 2012 |
Awo might have been a hero but did not die as a hero. Those in Akintola's camp see him as a villain. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 12:27am On Feb 15, 2012 |
Andre Uweh: why didn't he die like a hero ? |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Nobody: 12:29am On Feb 15, 2012 |
alj harem: because he was never one to begin with |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 12:30am On Feb 15, 2012 |
re@lchange: do you mean to you or Igbos in general ? Or you mean Nigerians because if you go that route I would show you even Ikwerres that follow Awolowo Idealogy and South-southerners that are Awoist. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Nobody: 12:34am On Feb 15, 2012 |
alj harem: when he died, did anyone know? meanwhile his Yoruba people controlled the news media yet we didn't hear much compare that with the fact that the whole eastern region of nigeria is burying ojukwu, and the whole nigeria is talking aboout him for months now oh well, maybe he is a hero in ikenne |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 12:39am On Feb 15, 2012 |
re@lchange: bros, the media is controlled by South-south and Igbos there are only 2 media houses controlled by the illuminati yoruba people , tribune and the nation which people don't really read. BTW, the Ojukwu burial things is just a funny episode to me, it seems like the so called organisers are just trying to exaggeration things which is Ok, Yeah the Whole east is waiting for Ojukwu's burial even the Whole West and the Whole North are waiting. Yes we are. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Nobody: 12:46am On Feb 15, 2012 |
alj harem: not in 1987 yes the whole of nigeria is waiting for ojukwu's burial. there are 20,000 youth volunteers alone who would offer services ranging from crowd to traffic control to ushering people and basically having a festive time. there will likely be hundreds of thousands to witness the whole thing |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 12:49am On Feb 15, 2012 |
re@lchange:good |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by ektbear: 2:53am On Feb 15, 2012 |
Akintola's nephew (DayoKanu) seems to view Awo as a hero |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by OnlyRebel: 10:48am On Feb 15, 2012 |
Chief Jeremiah Oyeniyi Obafemi Awolowo, hero and father of moder Nigeria and of promising Africa. And Life In Abundance. |

ekt_bear:Do you take him serious? |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by striker07(m): 12:05pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
As for me he was a National Hero,even though some people on this forum decided to twist history on thier own, every man to his own opinion, in acknowledgment of his numerous contributions to Nigeria, he was given the highest honour in the land which is GCFR,If we have had many awo in the government since independent we will not be where we are today. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Willywilly9: 10:27pm On Feb 22, 2012 |
striker07:As for me he was an Otapiapia Hero |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Ngodigha1(m): 10:38pm On Feb 22, 2012 |
Willy+willy:It is well estabished that he poisoned himself, but it could not be with Otapiapia. I think we should count otapiapia out. Though some said it was a rat pison that he drank, it may be true. May be HID AWOLOWO has to speak up now that she is still alive. She should telll us what sort of poison that killed her beloved husband. |

naijababe:Can you do us this favour please, what sort of poison killeed Awolowo?. I have ruled out Otapiapia. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Willywilly9: 6:13pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Awolowo where are you, have you heard that Ojukwu would be buried with American made Gold Casket, Awolowo my good Friend, How are you doing? are you resting in peace in that wooden Iroko termite infected Casket built in Ondo State, Yoruba people buried you with. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by lagcity(m): 6:16pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Willy+willy: You have to let go of your bitterness. Some of you Igbos just keep manufacturing lies against a man who said he was indifferent to you. Who's hurting now? |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Willywilly9: 6:18pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
i am just a middle man between Ojukwu and Awolowo |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by lagcity(m): 6:21pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
middleman? Awo and Ojukwu don't even have beef. Are u a middleman to dead ppl? I fear u o. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Willywilly9: 6:24pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
yes, one is a Thief who with his kinsmen looted our national Coffer and the other who fought for Justice |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by Nobody: 6:25pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Willy+willy: What a fitting casket for a magalomaniac, who had a throne installed in his house. I laugh at people who yap on about his simplicity! |

Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 8:10pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Andre Uweh: Yeap she is Igbo, She first claim efik but could not speak efik then claim Ijaw but could not speak Ijaw then claim Ogoni, and finally Igbo and that was the only language she could speak. she loves evil as well. 1 Like |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by AndreUweh(m): 8:14pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
alj harem:Willy does not speak Igbo either. Mind you, there are so many languages in the old eastern region. Please do not insult him. Use he instead of she. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 8:21pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Andre Uweh: Willy willy speaks Igbo and she is a proper Igbo man/woman. All this old east BS does not apply to me nwannem. You are not talking to an ignorant person, I understand Nigeria ethnic politics too much for me to buy that crap from you. Willy willy claim Efik, I spoke efik to her but she could not understand then claimed Ibibio, she could not speak Ibibio then claim Ogoni, that was the point I caught her out she she even spoke Igbo to me and clearly could not read what I wrote. LOL be deceiving yourself. Maybe she would claim Annag this time, Well I have taken toe liberty to learn basic annang so we can talk in Annag |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by AndreUweh(m): 8:25pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
^^But there are some easterners who do speak Igbo yet they are not Igbo. So many Okrikans and Kalabaris are not Igbo but speaks Igbo. Ibime a famous nairalander speaks and writes Igbo yet he is not Igbo. |
Re: Chief Obafemi Awolowo: National Hero Or Villain? by aljharem(m): 8:26pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Andre Uweh: LOL I wonder where Ibime had written in Igbo chai !!!! |
