If you want to understand the 'anger' towards Awo, go back to the early 1950's and Awo's tribalist sabotaging of Azikiwe's attempt to become Premier of the Western region....or the late 1950's and NCNC's decision to align with the NPC, and not the AG...and then the 1962 Treason trial.

Some wounds die hard.

kettykin:
This man is one of the smartest persons from the east

melvinjames:
Awolowo was such a tribalist an Igbo party was the opposition in Western house of assebly shebi?

wink2015:
Awo is a great leader.

A role model.

Even the north was afraid of him and what he will do if he becomes President.

His free education policy in the western region afforded many poor parents in the south west to send their children to school.

ishi ewu...Was this one born when Awolowo was premier of Western region?

NIGHTMARE0O7:
He really introduced tribalism in Nigeria .
I'm sure where ever he is now the devil is roasting his scrotum and kidney.

Such a wicked man

Monogamy:
This bitter small boy again

So Awolowo should have allowed ZIK to rule Yoruba by being premier of Western region?

This people really transferred hatred to their unborn pikin

Terorislam:
That may be true, But Awolowo was far a better person than Bola Tinubu , today in history the SW is the number one region for drug pushing and comsumtion courtesy of Bola Tinubu

Oghene1st:
His treatment of the non yorubas in Western region exposed his tribalistic nature to the core. The more reason Midwest broke out of Western region. Awolowo was the cause.

Oghene1st:


Why did Midwest break out of western region? Why did he change the Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of warri because of the similarity between Yoruba and Itsekiri. I'm a Midwesterner and a Deltan. If you like talk anyhow, we know how to handle una and una leaders. Ask how Midwest comot from western region and became the only recognised region via referendum. Or ask Tinubu how we handle am. Una go see truth dey hide am. How Awolowo denied majority of Midwesterners scholarship and gave almost all slots to Yoruba and how Odje fought for the Urhobos and keep travelling to Ibadan to ensure transparency. Anyway the Midwest got fed up when you ass licking maggot tried to make Yoruba language compulsory in all schools and some of other excesses. If you like call am beer parlour gist.

omoharry:
Definitely...I understood what human resources was and made sure his people have access to free education and books in his time..
Tinubu, aside from rewarding his loyalist with political positions and power, he is a very greedy man without thinking of how to live a good legacy for his people when is no more.
People still talk about Awolowo's legacy. decade after his demise due to the legacy he left behind..Now, What is Tinubu's Legacy?

festacman:
One thing is certain: Late Pa Obafemi Awolowo was sagacious, a bit puritanical, cerebral, resource-shrewd, strategic and forward-thinking. He wore signature circular eyeglasses that he made him stood out.

However, his ingenuity when it comes outwitting his fiercest political enemies can be best described as dark-hearted usually intended to leave them half-dead. Well, not anything much different from what happens in today's politics.

Of course, he never at any point in his life claimed to be an angel other than a human being he was.

May his soul continue to rest in peace.

Neoteny:
It's no secret that yorubas are the most tribalistic in Nigeria.

They're also highly political and destroy everything they touch.

Oh, and they're never satisfied over anything.

Frankly i much prefer igbo to to yoruba.

At least igbos have a genuine grievance and don't have 2 faces.
