These pictures were taken today when the Executive Governor of Abuse State visited Aso Rock.

Is anyone seeing what I just noticed?
The first picture shows Prof Osibanjo, the husband of Awo's grand daughter while the second picture shows Segun Awolowo, the grandson of Awo shocked
Yet Awo lived and died as an opposition leader!!
When the Bible says the righteous shall leave an inheritance for their children and children's children,I think Awo just got that blessed Divine pronouncement manifested .
Wow!! I think Awolowo is truly a rare breed and perhaps saw the future that his blood will someday play a significant role in the destiny of this nation.
Yet none of Awo's traducers or policy enemies who peddled lies against him have any of their children or descendants enjoy this same kind of divine favor.
Did Awo see the future?
Is it a case of 'by their fruits you shall know them'?

must you bring God into everything?

so if they Awolowos now in governement circle steal and plunder the state finances that will be God's design for Nigeria since according to your anology is God that put them in those positions?

these awolowos are only in VPs circles - advisers and PA, and helpers

what manesfestation did your God say about the Sarakis?
Igbenidions ?
Shagari etc

im my humble opinion i think politically

Jagaban is more "powerful" than Awolowo , even though Awolowo is more prominent.

just as Ojukwu is more powerful than Azikiwe, even though Azikiwe is more prominent in Nigeria.

Businessideas:


Surprisingly,these two descendants of Awo have the same Spartan lifestyle like Awo and we are least worried about the safety of our national treasure in their hands.
Another important point,Awo wasn't even a Christian.He was a Rosicrucian.

God choose leaders,right from the old testament. Please read Jeremiah 27.
I brought God into it when I started wondering how the descendants of someone who lived and died as an opposition leader took over the nation? There's a divine arrangement at work and it made me marvel at the way God works. shocked
Awo was loathed and the old man repeatedly told people that the politicians from the Igbo of the Eastern Nigeria were peddling falsehood against him to gain political edge over him.
Where are the children of those people now?

naijaking1:
Nobody ever doubted that Awolowo was a smart man, but what use is that when your immediate need for short term benefits outweigh your real ideal.
First Awolowo and perhaps Zik too were the first corrupt politicians who preached social well being on one hand and directly or indirectly enriched themselves using proxy.
Second Awolowo had preached independence and Yoruba secession all his life, but when Gowon baited him with federal job and promised him heaven and earth he quickly forgot his famous " if east goes, west will also go" This was really why nobody in the east trusted him when he came around to vie for president on his own.

Businessideas:

These are the same falsehood his political opponents peddled against him and where are they now? Most of them died painful and horrible death and their descendants are nowhere to be found like Awo predicted would happen to them
It's by their fruits you shall know them.
He responded to all these lies in his lifetime and he prophesied that when he's going to die,he would do so peacefully in his bed and the same thing happened

Businessideas:

You are right but he is just like David and the rest of the old testament characters. Christianity as a form of religious salvation came after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as stated in the new testament.
Perhaps,God in His merciful ways used Awo to prove that fact of life that in life, you reap what you sow.
Awo sowed his sweat and blood to build Nigeria yet some disgruntled politicians especially those from the Igbo Stock who never wanted him to be the Nigerian president peddled lies against him and today, his descendants are in charge of Nigeria
Let's keep the faith in doing good.

Better to learn from history than from emotionally unbalanced sentiments

naijaking1:


We are supposed to jump, because Awolowo grandson visited the Aso Rock or because his son in law is VP?
Don't know what you drank, but the foooollish old Awolowo wanted to be president himself at all cost even for one day!
If you are not able to understand Awolowo ' s short coming as a history lesson then you have a problem.
Oh of course it's easy for you to yell Igbos as usual, but that's a part of your problem.

Where are the descendants of the Great Zik of Africa, the great Ahmadu Bello, the Great Tafawa Balewa,the great Francis Akanu Ibiam, the great Dennis Osadebay, the great Chief Mariere, the great Chief Kashim , the great Aja Nwachukwu, the great Yakubu Gowon, the Great Michael Okpara, the great S.L Akintola, the great Okotie Eboh, the great Aguiyi Ironsi, the great Chief Adelabu , the great Ikemba Nnewwi Ojukwu and the other gladiators of the first republic era?

In life,just sow a good seed and go to sleep.God that vindicated Awo will vindicate you no matter the lies peddled against you.

Awolowo would have been great if he had ruled Nigeria. He lost that opportunity by joining Gowon who promised to hand over to him in 1973, but delayed until he was removed by force. Awo got a lot of short term benefits, but his long term goal eluded him big time. Not by his grand son visiting the presidency.

OBAGADAFFI:



Tinubu, is not even close to the powers Awolowo control.

What makes Tinubu powerful?

Businessideas:

My point exactly.
Your comments betray hatred for Awo perhaps based on the evil lies peddled against him and I caution you wisely. I am looking at the fact before us and you're calling a man who is your great grandfather's age mate foolish.
Why do you think you can escape the consequences of your deliberate hostility based on some falsehood.
As a human being,do you think you can lie against someone and escape God's wrath?
I am drawing your attention to a divine arrangement that vindicated Awo and you are using uncouth words. Haba

You are saying trash..... Sarrki father is a bigger theif than his son..yet his son is your senator.... Is that god compensation too...

You reason like a typical African man....to them everything is the hand of God, even when you are oppressed...

There is no how we can be free if we reason like this.

I am proud of my African heritage and my modest sophisticated education that can place me shoulder to shoulder with anyone of my age from any part of the world.
I have carefully looked at Saraki and realized that it doesn't carry the same glory and mystery like that of the household of Awolowo.Apart from the generally perceived corruption tag of the Saraki family which the Awo family doesn't have,the older Saraki didn't suffer like Awo and his political peak was just the Senate Majority Leader unlike Awo who headed the opposition to sitting governments.
Saraki and his father even at the point of death disagreed politically and unlike the Awo family, the junior Saraki went into politics from day one and he wasn't a career medical officer.So politics was a family business to them. Now look at the descendants of Awolowo in the picture,they were people doing their thing and by divine arrangement,power was delivered to them.
They were not even popular in the South West base let alone let alone the whole of Nigeria yet the most exalted office landed in their hands.
Another popular family that comes close is the descendants of Ransome Kuti whose household gave us Rev Ransome Kuti, Mrs Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Fela, Wole Soyinka, Olikoye, Beko, Femi and Seun Kuti. That's how you know great families.
My observation is that while the people who lied against Awo got phased out,his own descendants despite his suffering,got bigger and bigger and eventually power got transferred to them without the Awo family struggling for the power!

WINNERMENTALITY:


My brother that's how Africa politics is schemed to be..

Obasanjo has a son as a serving representative , ojukwu junior is currently the Chairman of Nnewi north LGA and would be going for house rep after his tenure.
Pls bros what's now too special about Awos

Businessideas:

If it's how power in Africa is 'schemed',how come the descendants of those great men of the first republic era now 'politically' impotent?
None of these two people you mentioned suffered as much ridiculous lies in Igboland as much as Awolowo. Even when the great Ikemba described Awo as the best president Nigeria never had,some Igbo politicians didn't see the depth in that admittance by Ikemba and now see what happened to the Awolowo family,God compensated them.Pa Awolowo suffered a great deal.

Also,these men are the third generation descendants of Awolowo and when they were least expecting power,it was transferred to them by a divine arrangement.
Please look at this Awo and do a comparative analysis of this family and their contemporary political families again.
The lesson is that some of these present bad leaders will suffer the same fate as those who lied against Awo.
God is a rewarder of the righteous.
Awo lives on.
