The matriarch of the Awolowo family, Chief (Mrs.) Hannah Dideolu Awolowo, fondly called HID, has passed on, aged 99.


HID Awolowo
Awolowo, wife of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, died, yesterday, at 3:15 pm, two months to her centenary birthday. She was said to have passed on after she held a meeting with her family members on the plan for her 100 years birthday.

Announcing the demise, her eldest child, Omotola Oyediran, in a statement she signed on behalf of the family, said “mama died while praying for her children over her planned centenary birthday”.

The statement read: “Mama died as glorious as she lived. She spent the day in the company of her children, grand children, great grand children and close family. She shared a precious few minutes with them when she went in to pray for them as they met to plan her centenary birthday.

“They sang her a befitting song as she came in and she continued to pray for them. She died a couple of hours later as she had always wished to be surrounded by her children, grand children and great grand children.”

The first callers to the Ikenne, Ogun State family house of the Awolowos include Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa; the deputy governor, Yetunde Onanuga; a former governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s wife, Olufunsho.

HID, once described by his late husband as his Jewel of Inestimable Value, was born on November 25, 1915 in Ikenne. A successful businesswoman and astute politician, she was the First Lady of the old Western Region when Awolowo was Premier in the First Republic. During the crisis in that political dispensation, she stood in for her husband in the alliance between the NCNC and the AG, called the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA), while he was tried and jailed.

HID toured the country with her husband in the Second Republic when Awolowo sought to be President on the platform of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). She also coordinated the women’s wing of the UPN. A businesswoman, she became the first Nigerian distributor for the Nigerian Tobacco Company (NTC) in 1957. She was the first to import lace materials and other textiles into Nigeria.

She is blessed with five children, 20 grand children and 32 great grand children.

She was the Yeye Oodua of Yorubaland, bestowed on her by the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, and a recipient of the national award of the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).

HID was very close to her late husband who she on an occasion described as a loving, caring and affectionate partner, noting that he would continue to be remembered for his uprightness.

It may be a lie that she died while praying.

Many/some yorubas lie about the state their parents were when they died.

Stop that nonsense. Are you not going to die one day? Is she your mate? Why ethnic issue and what her husband did to you? Were you born then during the war? What did the old woman commit?

A woman that lived well during her youthful years is not hard to tell. Not our ladies of this days all they know is fashion and gadgets. God will help dis generation. All the ladies should always have this qstn at the back of their minds; will the girl u were be proud of the woman you've become? Live so well that when u die the world will celebrate ur death. RIP mama HID
