He defended a ritualist kind in court .. I believe his woes were a result of karma.

Read about the kind who was hanged in 1949.

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

zeenaman:

Even now, the north is still not ready for independence, and I don't think they'll ever be. The elites among them still think for the masses.

Christistruth00:



Though you are right do you realise that Azikiwe was a Freemason

They are all Ritualists

Abdul05:
if this man chief awo had successful taken the rein of power in the 60s..

I don't think dis country will look like this..

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 ..

Totilopussylick:
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

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.

Awolowo the mr rat poison

Started greed and nepotism

Had Buhari not won this election, we probably would have been saying the same.

I don't mean that Pa Awo is as clueless and incompetent as the current occupier of Aso Rock (in fact worlds apart), but I am saying humans cannot be entirely trusted.

You should be ashamed of yourself
You don't even know how your coward awolowo died

Shame on you mumu

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.

Cromagnon:
Kwa
Britain controlled Nigeria since 1914
Baba was born 1905
So he sold Nigeria to British at age of 11?
Are you normal at all?

dalass:


Nepotism, religious hatred and deception by Zik did the damage.... The wrong decision to.put less qualified northei mallams in power started this nation on a wrong footing... Great Awo!

1. We are backward because of the north … they did not want independence, the south did this from the beginning we were incompatible .

2. After enahoro moved the motion for independence in 1953… there were riots in the north with many southerners killed —- this was the first indicator that they (the north) were committed to being under British rule - Awolowo recognized this and moved for a secession clause to be included in the new constitution BUT Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it and even reported Awolowo to the British as a saboteur - infact he personally wrote section 86 which makes any move for secession a treasonable offense!
https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/04/27/flashback-why-i-opposed-awolowo-on-secession-zik/?amp=1

Funny how Azikiwe later realized his ignorance during the civil war but it was too late.

I’m telling you that based on section 86 Nigeria can never break up unless the ENTIRE south wants it and are willing to shed blood for it… not SE , SS or SW individually but the whole SOUTH as an entity .

So NO we did not request independence too early … we only had one visionary leader- Awolowo - the others were ignorant
