May 9 1987: Remembering The Hero, OBAFEMI AWOLOWO. by MentalModulus(op): 9:40am On May 09, 2022
It is 35 years today that the late sage, OBAFEMI AWOLOWO went to the great beyond. A philosopher, scientist, politician, father, businessman, he was the brain behind the free education program that was dolled out in the south Western part of Nigeria in the 1950s.

He has written his name in the heart of many Nigerians, especially the Yorubas, till the world ends. His greatness stem from the fact that the late Ojukwu referred to him as the Best president Nigeria never had. Also he was given the highest honour that any ordinary civilian, but only an ex-president could have by the Shagari regime.

He is my political hero, someone I have always admired so much. The only thing that I am not happy about is the fact that he died before I was born.

You might have something good to say about this man, tell us.

What actually did he use in commiting the famous suicide.
Did he cry to dealth as rumour has it and regretted been and occulltic man.
So many questions.
I don't know if I should say rest in peace to an occulltic man who his jujuj couldn't save.
But I know he never made heaven for Jesus said I'm the only way.
Ogun will never safe anyone,repent now and stop minning skulls before it will be too late.
Confess your sins and truly accept Jesus as your lord and savior.

After 35 years, the world still remembers him.

He’s saying Awolowo took day poison to end his life
And there’s nothing hero about him

While he was alive Yoruba people called him thief

He died yoruba people worship him

How many Yoruba be awoist today ?
