Today, I have the greatest honour to celebrate the Posthumous Birthday Anniversary of our first President, Journalist and Nationalist, His Excellency, Dr. Nnamdi Benjamin Azikiwe as he marks another birthday anniversary today.

Though, he is no longer with us in his physical body, but his spirit is with us and we will continue to defend his legacies.

Happy Birthday Sir!

Being the first to comment here is a sign I will one day become the president of this country.

Hate him or love him, Nigeria could have bin no where without him

Happy birthday Fayose Azikiwe 🌚

Zik of Africa is one of the reasons why we're in this mess currently. When Awolowo brought about the clause of secession in 1954, Zik shut him down.
Zik made secession a treasonable offense and funny enough, most Igbos don't know this. They keep blaming others for a problem one of theirs created.

Happy posthumous birthday Owele of Onitsha.

Nnamdi betrayed by hausa and yorubas, Nigeria would have been greater than it is if nnamda zik lived a bit longer

121 post humous? Who cares?

The Greatest of Them All
A man whose parents were igbo but with Benin ties. Born in Zungeru northern Nigeria, studied overseas at a very young age , grew up in the western part of Nigeria and started his political career as an avowed nationalist. Zik candidly saw all Nigerians as human beings.

Never was he accused of tribalism. Never encouraged genocide against any ethnic group. Refused to call the NPC to form the government after the general elections of 1964 were rigged beyond imagination especially in South West. Disagreed with Ojukwu on principles and set the tone for national politics that was based on solid Pan Africanism..

A lot of people think that he made a mistake by not being an ethnic jingoist. But they forget that by taking the high road and setting the bar high, he raised the tone of political discuss in the country. Those who chose to swim in the gutter of tribalism and sectionalism were the ones who took the bar down into the latrine. History has always remembered them for that infamy!

And yes, it was after Awolowo covered Ziks political campaigns from his perch on a tree for a local newspaper, that he got motivated to enter politics. (Don't argue with me, read Awolowos autobiography). In essence, maybe if there was no Zik, there might be no Awolowo..

Think about that for a minute..

Mteeeeeeeew and so what FG should remove the man on #500 and replace it with that of TINUBU immediately according to majority of Nigerians

Let the dead breathe.

Zik made secession a reasonable offense and funny enough, most Igbos don't know this. They keep blaming others for a problem one of theirs created.

Happy birthday Zik of Africa

The South would have been better off today if Nigeria was divided during his time...

Whether we want to admit it or not, the North is dragging us backwards constantly..

An unnecessary baggage that we have to carry.

The first and last president of Igbo extraction
Funnily he was tolerant than most of his kinsmen today

Really?

You definitely missed some history classes.

Stop this posthumous nonsense. How many people live upto 121 yrs?
Once you're dead, that's the end of everything!

Makinaki:

.....my brother the thing weak me, who even lives till 100 years these days, everyone of us have a mandatory appointment with death that we all have to keep.

He genuinely wanted a working and united Nigeria but those who never wanted Nigeria to be great messed his effort up.

During the 1954 constitutional conference in Lagos, Awolowo raised the issue of secession. He predicted that at one point or the other, a region would want to secede from Nigeria but Zik vehemently stood against it and shut him down.
Zik used his influence to sway the majority who shut down the opinion.

After that, Awolowo again wrote to the the Governor General but the governor still rejected it on the on the grounds that majority led by Zik rejected it.

In fact, it's because of Zik that secession was made a treasonable offense, it's because of Zik that section (86) was inserted into the Nigerian constitution.
