The father of corruption and looting in Nigeria along with Zik, Bello and Balewa. They enrich themselves and gave little to the people, but the people then saw it as a big thing. |

Majesticniyi: When Awolowo died, and suddenly too, he was not in a position of power. We were also in a military vice grip in which the so-called "president" Babangida had banned all political activities. Professor's claim is therefore correct that papa Awo bequeathed us an ideology rather than a successor, which is better. It is only a shame that the Nigerian setting is toxic and has continued to destroy every good thing. 6 Likes |

History Revisionism. The Southwest is the only part of the south that capitulated to british rule without a whimper. Probably fortunate though given the fact that without the british, the ancient yorubas would have decimated themselves completly to a minority population through their many long and bloody ethnic civil wars. As for the rest of the south through the creeks of the niger-delta to the eastern terrains, the british redcoats were waging wars after wars for decades trying to put down groups of people who refused to be conquered. 2 Likes |

oyetpel:Don't insult the memory of Zik by putting him along with these charlatans. Zik is the greatest Nigerian in history. While the likes of awo and Balewa were playing ethnic ludo, Zik was philosophizing for African renaisance. He is the father of Nigeria so to speak.

The heart and soul of this nation is crying out for a man of extraordinary passion and zeal to light up the darkness in which the nation has found herself, a man who will make us dream deeply. A man who, in all conviction, will point our weary souls to heaven and say 'my people, that is where I want to take you to, that is what I want to transform this country into - paradise on earth. And I swear that nothing would stop me, not even God. So help me God!' A man who will create a vision so fantastic, so romantic and prophetic that our only natural response to him will be doubt-doubt because we've been ass-fvcked by this knaves called politicians for too long. We will doubt but our very doubts will be like fire in his bones, it would drive him on, and on. All the men in this nation are waiting for the one man who will sound the trumpet call to build not just a nation but a civilization. O, we are tired of failing as a people, we are tired of being compressed within the walls of a world that mocks and laughs at our true potential. We are tired of smallness, our hearts despair at the daily hopelessness and poverty that dogs us. Our whole being says 'enough'! I do believe that such a man will come very soon. The national spirito- psychological conditions are ripe for the emergence of such a man. He will be a young man. He will come. They always come. Finally all you tribal guttermouths on this thread, parochial fools, irredeemable, blind creeps and twerps, I pour scorn on all of you. Shitheads 2 Likes 1 Share |

ariesbull: Be massaging your ego with monumental ignorance. You are entitled to your limited knowledge. I'm quite sure you haven't travelled beyond your village and Lagos. By the time you travel abroad (by abroad I mean western countries like Canada, USA, UK, Scandinavia countries etc and not cambodia, malaysia, vietnam, phillipines, Indonesia) reality will slap you in the face just like he has done many of your brothers I have met here in Canada. Many of them licking Yoruba asses up and down. The ratio of Igbos to Yorubas in Canada is like 1:4, that of USA is like 1:2, and UK will surely be up to if not more than 1:8. These figures are fact. Yorubas don't have to travel to your less developed region to show that they travel. God forbid us from moving backwards. Guess what these Yorubas do annually, they send multimillions of foreign currency to their family back home. Some of them even go back home to set up state of the art companies after spending years abroad. 9 Likes |
