Chief Obafemi Awolowo's private car. The
car toured the whole states of Nigeria in the
year 1979 and 1983 during the presidential
election campaigns.

if this man chief awo had successfully taken the reins of power in the 60s..

I don't think dis country will look like this..
messed up in a big way...


By now...we should be comparing ourself with the western contrees ..


But ..greed and corruption are being
rife and Nepotism is still the order of the day ..

The man lived

Exactly, he was the only visionary leader Nigeria has ever produced. He would've been successful if not for his too much love for south west and regional politics.

This is what differentiates him and Tinubu. Unlike Tinubu flexible/accommodating style, Awo political ideology is too rigid, conservative, and meritocratic for the then corrupt military government to have confidence in.

Awolowo and Azikiwe requested for independence at least 20 years too early

But they meant well
Ahmadu Bello was more realistic when he admitted that the North was not ready for independence

With hindsight even the South was not ready for independence at the time

The car still dey ikenne

The car still dey ikenne

The real resting place for it.

Let is be in the premises of the Sage biko

If you try your best you no get, no too worry, when you get, yours go be the latest.

Awo the visionary. If I had the means I'd buy this car and keep it in my collection.

Don't forget he was the one that sold Nigeria to the British empire.

And the results is what we are seeing today

Nigeria is divided into 3 region because of what this man did

yeruba people self the way you people talk sometime


Modifyi so who stop him from becoming a president of Nigeria the same people he fight Biafra whit

Hypocrites you will not mention Fulani because you scared of them

Myopic. If UK had found oil in Nigeria u think they would have ever left? Leave trillions of dollars and go home? No way

oil was found in 1957. UK left in 1960.
But Nigeria got independence not because of Zik or Awolowo but because of global events such as the second world war, the independence of India, the pressure from US and USSR for the end of colonialism,
start of apartheid in SouthAfrica etc .
UK and France committed to leaving Africa in the 60s regardless of the economic cost to them

For every beautiful thread created to reminisce on our past and pay respect to the greats, there will be competition amongst the regular Nairaland bunch of idiots to soil it with their stupid mess. In this case, it’s either you woke up earlier or you were faster than your retarded crew.

Him be thief

Frustrated all his political efforts,Azikiwe in particular ,,a very educated man ,who could have aligned with him ,but had is own plans.

If only there was no northern Nigeria.
They came, they messed up everything.
Half illiterate and tribalistic people

Descendants of ojukwu shouldn't call men who stood their grounds cowards...... especially when ojukwu ran off disguised as a wh0re through the border after sacrificing 3mill of his dumb kinsmen as ground manure.

I love history

Okay. Not bad.
