May the generation after generation of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, continue to prosper in good health and long life.

* the only prudent and future thinking leader of his time

* he educated us with cocoa money, because he knew that we needed education to be able to convert cocoa to chocolate. But the rogues thwarted it.

* anyways, the education induced sophistication can't be taken from us.


Without education, there's no progress.
