OBAFEMI AWOLOWO
He enrolled at the University of London as an External Student and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Hons.). He went to the UK in 1944 to study law at the University of London and was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple on 19 November 1946.[4][6]

Apart from his face being on 100 Naira notes, some other achievements of the late sage who hailed from Ikenne, Ogun State are catalogued below;

1.) He named Nigeria’s national currency as ‘Naira’ when he was the Federal Commissioner for Finance. The late sage took the name of Nigeria and collapsed it as ‘Naira'

2.) Awolowo introduced free primary education for all and free health care for children in the Western Region.

3. )He established the first television station in Africa in 1959.

4. )He also erected the first skyscraper in tropical Africa:the Cocoa House (still the tallest in Ibadan).
5.) Awo as fondly called was conferred by President Shehu Shagari with the title of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR), the first and only non-president to be so honoured in recognition of his sterling qualities and contributions to the service of the country.

6.) He was the first individual in the modern era to be named Leader of the Yorubas (Yoruba: Asiwaju Omo Oodua), a title which has come over time to be conventionally ascribed to his successors as the recognized political leader of the Yoruba peoples of Nigeria.

7.) The man widely believed by admirers to be the best President Nigeria never had 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.

8.) In 1949 he founded the Nigerian Tribune, the oldest surviving private Nigerian newspaper, which he used to spread nationalist consciousness among his fellow Nigerians.

9.) The party he founded, Action Group was the first to move the motion for Nigeria’s independence in the federal parliament and he obtained internal self-government for the Western Region in 1957.

10.) The University of Ife was renamed Obafemi Awolowo University on 12 May 1987 in honour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo first premier of the Western Region of Nigeria, whose brainchild the university was.

For the Mumu asking for great awolowo's achievement, these are part of his achievements in his life time. Now can you tell us what the achievement of your fathers are. Even tell us the achievement of your coward ojukwu.

iyketex007:
If those rogues of this animal kingdom thinks and knows there salaries and allowances are justified, then why the need for it to remain anonymous?

I only pity Mr shehu cos the witch-hunt for him has begun and his days are already numbered, and the worst off is that they Nigerians he's exposing the truth to has no use for it, cos in a saner clime a revelation of this sort is more than enough to trigger a mass revolution in this country.

It means you want to completely kill GEJ, his family and other people of Niger Delta. Buhari will just send all his evil and devilish dancing groups to shoot every sons and daughter of the region. Remember, when IPOB ONLY demonstrated with small size flags when Buhari kill them in their thousands while Fulanis are carrying very powerful, arms kill people every week, Buhari is not even looking their side. May God punish Buhari this afternoon.

ozoneboy:
Very soon these schools will be filled with mediocre students,outright disrespect to Non-yorubas,tribalism taken to another level.what happens to making it compulsory to only Yoruba students and then respecting others since you want to preserve your language.When we say this country should be divided some goats will be saying Nigeria is one,Yoruba movie industry were u speak only yoruba,now Yoruba school,but you still want one Nigeria.

Ekweremadu has been a very successful lawyer and business man before going into politics.He has been Chairman of Aninri lga, Chief of staff to governor, secretary to enugu state government before becoming senator.He has made enough money to buy properties anywhere in the world.

He has not committed any crime by buying properties in Dubai, London or the US. Unless Buhari has valid proof that the properties were acquired from proceeds of crime he has no case.Ekweremadu is a seasoned lawyer and will take Buhari to the cleaners. Buhari face your governance and spares Nigeria with this your corruption pretence Enugu people love Ekweremadu and will continue to support him among the politicians in Nigeria Ekweremadu is one among the least corrupt even EFCC no that. Tinubu that make Lagos his private business or Buhari son that has no business where did he acquired money to buy N40m bike?
