That’s the koko my brother. The coconut headed Nigerians are more than the sane headed ones lol

But realistically the big 3 tribes have failed woefully in their big brotherly roles to the other minorities in the nation and if eventually there is a fallout of law and order it’s still the same minorities that will feel the heat the most out of all.

Tinubuadvocate:
Obasanjo who named international airport after the ceremonial former president must have make a big mistake of course what's the contribution of Nnamdi Azikiwe to our country?

Apart from being a nationalist which others leaders from other regions are also a nationalist. The contribution of pa Awolowo to Nigeria supersedes that of Azikiwe.

Mention two legacy of Azikiwe.


The Obafemi Awolowo Jeremiah

As a young man he was an active journalist, editing publications such as the Nigerian worker, on top of others as well.After receiving his bachelors of commerce degree in Nigeria, he traveled to London to pursue his degree in law.Obafemi Awolowo was the first premier of the Western Region and later federal commissioner for finance, and vice chairman of the Federal Executive Council during the Nigerian Civil War.[6] He was thrice a major contender for his country's highest office.

A native of Ikenne in Ogun State of south-western Nigeria,[8] he started his career, like some of his well-known contemporaries, as a nationalist in the Nigerian Youth Movement in which he rose to become Western Provincial Secretary. Awolowo was responsible for much of the progressive social legislation that has made Nigeria a modern nation.Awolowo also founded the Yoruba nationalist group Egbe Omo Oduduwa.Awolowo was the first Leader of Government Business and Minister of Local Government and Finance, and first Premier of the Western Region under Nigeria's parliamentary system, from 1952 to 1959.He was the official Leader of the Opposition in the federal parliament to the Balewa government from 1959 to 1963.In 1963 he was imprisoned under the accusations of sedition and was not pardoned by the government until 1966, after which he assumed the role as Minister of Finance. In recognition of all of this, Awolowo was the first individual in the modern era to be named as the leader of the Yorubas (Yoruba: Asiwaju Awon Yoruba or Asiwaju Omo Oodua).
In your small mind, you have talked!!!

Shameful agbaya.

When idiots write... Tinubu is working hard to get his party ticket in order to become Nigeria's next president yet this uncouth supporter of his is stacking the odds against him.

Imagine an illiterate who learnt how to read off NURTW tickets coming online to ask what Azikiwe's contribution to Nigeria is.

The independence you have Azikiwe was one of the three major people who fought for it. I'd be stupid to ask what Awolowo or Balewa contributed to Nigeria.

Tinubuadvocate, you are ill-educated; a tribal warlord and half-baked historian. You don't deserve an inch of public space.

The fulani craftily name the airport at the region of Awolowo after a northerner Murtala Mohammed. This is a cheating to the great Awolowo.
