Then you don't know the meaning of intelligence...
Is brain paining you?

As at then, public smoking is normal and permitted. In fact, the most popular ads on Tv and Radio then were by Tobacco companies. You will hear on radio ads like "Cigar Target o!Na wa!".
But a lot has changed now so much that even cigarette packs now carry warnings that you are liable to die from smoking. Late President Shehu Shagari at that age, is not different from most of his age mates then ,he was probably in his late 20s or early 30s in the video and he's still looking charismatic. So it's not a big issue.

The late Prime Minister's clearly brilliant and knowledgeable about the subject he is talking on as this was a big issue then to discuss because of the civil rights movement in the US , so here he's throwing Nigeria's big national pride and international clout against racism considered then such sensitive international debate. Wow!! No one will believe he is the leader of a country that was barely 5 years old with such aura and authority of power & influence he was oozing ; he went as far as stating categorically what he told the US political leaders while in Washington against racism. His diction and command of English is topnotch and his trademark baritone voice is so Presidential and reminds me of the voice of late Dr. Martin Luther King.

Up till now, I still wonder why this man and others like Chief SL Akintola and Premier Sardauna Alhaji Ahmadu Bello had to be assassinated. Unlike their peers in other regions who lived long enough to reproduce more of their followers, these two Leaders of Northern extraction were killed in their prime and did not live to do that for the North and till date, sets the North back so much that they are yet to recover. May we never experience such calamitous national loss again. God bless Nigeria. Our heroes past shall not be in vain. @ OP , thank you for sharing this.

Reasonable comment I have read in a while aroud here. Good we still have few intelligent guys around on NL

Shagari lived till his 90s yet some people will come and say cigarettes killed Davidos PA

Davidos pa also drank heavily and both also take a toll

Shagari for a man of his age probably also did not indulge in a lot of other bad habits that most of the davido generation do..drinking, poor diet etc

If you wan smoke, smoke in peace. Stop looking for justification to do so. �

Harddiskng:
Wow.

@op thanks for sharing.

It was a delight to hear Tafawa Balewa speak. His dictation, command of english and even the issue he was speaking on in such a year, such a brilliant sound man.

Where did it all go down hill for the North and Nigeria, that we started allowing animals into power

Looking at this I have no doubt that it cannot be well with Nigeria, Nigeria cannot get better. Our sins and the atrocities we have allowed are too great

Those murders may have been orchestrated by the British to retain control; similar to what France is doing in Francophone African countries now....

bolayei:
This man was worth being PM. He didn't deserve to be killed.

What rubbish talk is all this, their destiny cannot be altered, He die because it was his destiny to go.

Akintola deserved to be killed.He even tried to shoot at the guys that captured him in his house.
He was not a good politician for the Yoruba race then.
A saboteur he was.

But I really feel sorry for late Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, he honestly didn't deserve that massacre.

Continue until it kills you too, you think everyone is the same.

I'm yet to come across any Nigerian who speaks as fluently as this man, not even soyinka or achebe comes close.

Aboki has been an aboki since 110BC

Group of charlatan polthievians and bad political leaders that built the wrong foundation for this country.

Now this is the wrong path we kept on following till date....may they continually bear and reap the bad seeds they have sow in their grave. And may their children inherit in the in the seeds they have sown in the country

Is cigarettes not supposed to be Haram to Muslims?


Is it not morally unrighteous as an habit?

Is it not an intoxicant/stimulant that changes ones behavioral pattern?

Is it not primarily a western culture?

Does it not harm the health of a smoker?

Marlian

Ciggarrettes was not offensive in top official buildings and conferences in the oldies...

You see NASA engineers smoking up and down while monitoring space flights as if nothing is at stake...Smoking was allowed in airplanes at a time..

It is nothing and up till now it is...Every one decides how to live his or her own life...

Gangster heroes that sold us all out

Chai! Aboki na Aboki!
Funny how no one seem to care.

It was normal in those days. Ojukwu also smokes while addressing reporters. The video is online as well.

So Shagari and Obama dmw get the same body systems endurance abi?

The PM and fathers of those days had good white English teachers that taught them good diction, even if they weren't necessarily intelligent students.

Yet they Lord over you that have something upstairs. What does that say about you?

phemmyfour:
His diction is superb for a typical Mallam.

The one and only Nigeria prime minister eliminated in the igbo coup

The January 1966 coup was not an ibo coup.

Infact Nzeogwu who was not the leader of the coup but the main face was more culturally Hausa than ibo

More like a leftist coup organised by idealists. Of the five one was Yoruba. It is thanks to the Yoruba guy that we have a detailed account of the aims of the coup.

Face what the Bible says about it. Leave Muslims alone. Shun intolerance!
