HID Awolowo To Be Buried In A Gold Casket And A White Damask Cloth She Bought An by NaijNewsToday: 12:20pm On Nov 02, 2015
Wife of Late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, Mrs H.I.D Awolowo who died on September nineteenth, will be covered on November 25th in a white damask fabric she purchased and kept for this reason 36 years back. Her little girl, Reverend (Mrs) Tola Oyediran, uncovered this, saying

“Mama in her unique way had kept a white damask to be laid in her casket whenever she died since the day she stopped her fabric sales business. And if I am not mistaken, I think she stopped selling fabrics around 1979; meaning that since then, she had kept that damask for that purpose. That is her wish and it will be like that.”
she said

Oyediran additionally uncovered that Mama will be covered in a gold coffin which will be acquired from the United States of America. She will be covered adjacent to her spouse inside the Awolowo catacomb in the family compound in Okenne, Ogun state.

May her soul rest in peace.
Gold or no gold.....the dead is already dead and o amount of luxury can change anything.
Awolowo was a great man but just could not rise above tribal and religious sentiments.
I dont even have a problem with him for supporting the biafran war and starving the igbos after being imprisoned by the hausa/fulanis and akintola and being released from prison by ojukwu. My major problem with his is why did he make the abandoned property act after igbos have been defeated?
Why did he make the 20 pounds policy?
Why did he disenfranchise the yoruba muslims?
Anytime i think about him,all i see is a tribalist.
Of all our founding fathers he did most harm to our integration than anybody

Rest in peace Ma'am.

Gold Casket? Why is the daughter even saying all this? some jobless thief might think it is real Gold and want a slice of the Casket.

Gold Casket, Bamboo Casket, Wrapper Casket, Mat Casket, No Casket, it does not matter.

Up there at the Gate of Heaven, it is equal treatment.

That is good

Psalm 90:12 "Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom."
I guess wisdom taught her to prepare for the day.

I heard of a man who had five wives and so before he died, he dug 6 graves, one for each of the wives and one for him. Right now, three of the graves have inhabitants, the last three are still loading...

Respect! You and your hubby will always be remembered even in death. To all those 'comfraudsters' making derogatory comments and making jest of her name, it doesn't come as a surprise from a people who stretch their hands to greet their parents in the morning and can spit on their mother's grave'. BTW, if the Awolowo family decides to bury their matriach in a gold casket, is it your money they borrowed to buy it? When the time comes to bury your parents, please buy a bamboo casket, who cares?
