All d southwest Governors must see this - Pls share far & wide CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO* *The last two years of Awolowo as Premier of Western Region was concentrated on efforts to write his name in the book of Legends.* He incorporated: *Western Hotels* which invested in: 1) _Premier Hotel, 2) _Lafia hotels in Ibadan 3) _Lagos Airport Hotel respectively. He set up: *Western Nigeria Development Corporation* to finance mega corporations. This was established in 1958. It encouraged plantation development with six agricultural plantations covering 20,517 acres in collaboration with Cooperative societies, eleven additional plantations covering 8,468 acres with crops ranging from Cocoa , Rubber, Oil Palm, Citrus, Cashew and Coffee had been put in place all over the region. WNDC, a clearing house for multitude of companies, established for the rapid industrial development and revolution of the region. Among them were: 1. _WAPCO at Ewekoro for cement, with enough capacity to serve the whole country. 2. _Nigerite Ltd, producing asbestos and roofing sheets, 3. _National Bank, 4. _Wema Bank, 5. _Nigerian General Insurance, 6. _Great Nigeria Insurance, 7. _Gravil Enthoven and coy, 8. _Vegetables Oil Ltd, 9. _Cocoa Processing Industry Ogba Ikeja, 10. _Odua Textile Mills Ltd, 11. _Wrought Iron Ltd, 12. _Union beverages Ltd, 13. Sungass company, 14. _Wemabod estates, owner of Western House tallest building, then on Broad Street, and other estates, 15. _Western livestocks, 16. _Fisheries services Ltd, 17. _Caxton Press, 18. _Epe Plywood, 19. _Asakar Paints, 20. _Nigeria Crafts and Bags Ltd, 21. _Nipol Plastics in Ibadan, 22. _Phoenix Motors. Also, he opened up biggest industrial layouts in: i. Ibadan, Oluyole and ii. Lagos Oba Akran axis and iii. *Ilupeju in Mushin axis with over 120 factories* for mass production of different needs & gave birth to: 23. _Nigeria Textile Mills, 24. _West Africa Breweries, 25. _Dunlop Tyres, 26. _Crittal Hope Aluminum, 27. _Tower Aluminium, 28. _Solel Boneh, 29. _Nidogas, 30. _Nigeria Wire and Cables in Ilupeju. Odua Investments was the largest conglomerates in Nigeria as at 2004 with assets worth over N10 trillion. Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo paid the Western Nigeria Civil servants, the highest salaries far above Federal government. So much jobs were created by vast industrialisation drives. All these were achieved without Oil revenue between1951-1959. He also touched the road construction with bitumen & laid road network covering over 2,000 kilometers throughout the region. Other achievements of his regime are: 1. _Cocoa House, the tallest building in West Africa for decades, 2. _Liberty Stadium, the most modern in the entire African, 3. _Western Nigeria Television & Broadcasting Service (WNTV/WNBS), the first Radio & Television Stations in Africa, 4. _Many General Hospitals and Dispensaries in rural area. 5. _Free Education at primary school level. 6. _His effort in Cooperative society development gave birth to establishment of Cooperative Bank in 1953 and Cooperative College. The eight years most of this present Governors spend, was the same with Pa Awolowo, covering what comprises 8 states nowadays, yet he achieved so much. Most of our present day Governors could not mention one world class company, corporate institution or industry set up to create jobs for teaming youths being turned out year in, year out, by our ivory towers. Today leaders should at least emulate our late sage foot steps instead of all the temporary empowerment programs (Motor cycle, Keke Napep, Pepper grinding machine, Cassava grinding machine, Deep freezer, Fridge, Clipper etc) being used to cajole the electorates at the turn of election every four years. A time will come in this nation that people aspiring for position must show a well laid out plan before the electorate. The cash and carry politics will fail as it's the practise in developed nation. Let us always look forward to lasting legacies. *OBAFEMI AWOLOWO* was obviously ahead of his peers and till today no living or deceased Nigerian has surpassed his achievements. You wonder why the southwest Nigeria did well. In the 1990s, Nigeria Textile Mills, Oba Akran Ikeja alone employed over 4,000 workers before the military mismanagement of economy killed the company with unfriendly company policies *I encourage all our southwest Governors to do the same - Let’s build industries all over Yoruba Nation & provide gainful employments for our teeming youths *I encourage all our Governors to rise to the occasion - Pls let’s share far & wide till it reaches all our southwest Governors. * I challenge other regions to tell us what they achieved under the regional Govt. I am sure no region built a university anyways. |
He is even lying Most of these elders cut, add and paste the truth. They disjoint history. I once heard an igboman explaining to us youths how Awolowo falsify the education statistics in Nigeria to make Yoruba be known as the most read among the tribes. I allowed him until I got angry and let him know that we were not there like he who claimed to be there but we have followed up good history and I asked him a simple question. Which was. What year did we have the first university in Nigeria and where was it and what year was the first university in the east n was it having more capacity of admitting more than the one in the southwest? Instead he asked me to go to Nsukka and see the plenty educated sound professors of Igbo decent. No doubt about the fact that Igbos are illustrious but why also charge Awolowo of falsifying records when infact that is what you were doing. Grandpa Edwin Clark has distorted that history and we may not be there but it can't be about MD, NNOP I don't believe it. Another funny thing and reason why we will fimd defficult to get the correct history is that everyone of them keep saying different stories. Watch Oputa panel and the history go tire you. Ask Gowon and he will say another story in this subject matter. theophorus: |

You are not getting me. He endorsed openly the first time in 2013 but continue to support and proclaim him as the best until the guy lost the election and in that same year of 2015 our grandpa didn't even wait for 1 year before he change camp. Even the Obasanjo speech were all said in the same year fa. Dis you know that the ijaw youth had to give a public warning to buhari to know that this man is used to this kind of inconsistency. Believe him at your peril. Peace and out https://thenationonlineng.net/ijaw-group-tells-buhari-to-be-wary-of-clark/ Penguin2: |
I thank God you got something from my first set of writeup. Which is the inconsistency. How can you call a person you so much spoke supported in 2015 Election has the best candidate weak and lacking the political will to fight corruption the same year just after he lost the election and you were ready to jump into buhari's camp. Don't forget the same man when celebrating Good luck said Obasanjo is the most corrupt president ever in Nigeria. After Good luck lost na Goodluck whose tenure was the worst in terms of corruption becos the president was weak and lack political will. Finally why is grandpa trying to divide us the more, will his speech move us forward or destroy us the more. No doubt some northerners had issues with the easterner we all know that but can't be the reason for a coup sir. Saying he was there doesn't validates the sincerity of the comment. Penguin2: |
Penguin2:Thank you for asking me questions. 1. South-South, Middle Belt elders endorse Jonathan for 2015 ByPremium Times June 17, 2013 Elders from the South-South and Middle Belt comprising North Central and North East zones on Monday endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 presidential election. The elders led by two elder statesmen, Chief Edwin Clark; and former Senate President, Ameh Ebute; met behind closed doors with Mr. Jonathan at the State House in Abuja. Mr. Clark, who addressed State House correspondents after the meeting said, members of the group under the aegis of Congress for Equality and Change, were drawn from 19 States. Till the 2015 elections Good luck was the best for the country by Grandpa Edwin Clark 2. And on October 7, 2015 the vanguard reads Edwin Clark backs Buhari, says Jonathan ‘too gentle’ to fight corruption Now Buhari was on the throne, he is now with Buhari 3. Do you know that Grandpa defended and supported every action of Good luck Jonathan as a president and immediately the guy lost Grandpa was already with Supporting Buhari and calling Good luck names even by August the same year. Are you telling such a person should be believe, pls do so at your peril. 4. Then you can't be serious to believe that only a decision of making an Igbo man the MD of whatever. Don't you think that's too simple for all the coup and it's today grandpa remembers. Let me tell you what I know about grandpa. Everything he is skimming is to be able to enjoy certain benefits and getting close to Tinubu. He is a business man. |
Penguin2:Elders that can lie and distort history, believe them at your peril. Lastly should he be dividing us seeing we are already so divided as an elder. Well to this man everything na business. |

Your husband may not be cheating yet but somehow he is already considering it. First question should be for you to look inward , is there any reason for this? Has he been complaining or there have been a kind of distance between you both of late? You might not be the issue but you can so this and brace up whatever crack you discover and if there is none you can then invite him to a passionate talk and appeal. Not fight so that he wouldnt end up passworsing his phone. An appeal like this, tell him how proud you are about his faithfulness, love and care to the home. Tell him how shattered you would be if he decides to go down that part and then ask him to let out his heart on what ever is bothering him to even suggest cheating so that this matter can be nibbed on time. After this discussion just rest. Yettttttunde: |

Does she have friends, church, social groups and associations that you can talk to. Plead with them to visit her regularly. My church used to have women do roaster of those who can go to such person's house and sleep over even we sometimes give a stipend for transportation. It's not easy but with time it will go down and she will be fine again. Then you have to also console yourself properly bcoz u too aren't helping her because she maybe noticing you too. jogojogo: |

Has he said anything to you like toasting, if so try to make a record. If no then sit that your brother in-law down and talk sense to him while you make a record of the discussion if he apologizes or goes ahead to verbalize his intention just make a record of the entire communication and remember to tell him that if he doesn't change you would tell his brother and if he doesn't change after this. Tell your husband and give him the proof. This guy can destroy your home so don't pity him or their relationship at all. But never you tell your husband something this big without a proof * Nataliace: |
