You see Yorubas rejoicing over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu imprisonment, forgotten their hero awolowo was sent to Calabar prison by Northerners and was later released by Ojukwu.

He later choosseed Northerners over those that released him.

Na still small northern soldiers made him drank rat poison called Otapiapia.

...Go and read your history very well,not ojukwu but gowon..

Awolowo contributed to the enlightened environment if the SW in Nigeria with his free education as the Premier of the SW .
His legacies will never perish in the region !
It is ironic that all those who benefited from his free education are making life difficult for masses now.

Who goes Awolowo

No matter how useless Asari has become to us in Rivers State but trust me he’s bigger than entire Awolowo and his generation

Awolowo wey infection kill

Name one Igbo man in the entire South East that gave children free education like Awolowo did for all students in the South West aka Western Region.

Let's start from there.

Dont delibrately mislead your followers here. History cannot be erased:

Yakubu Gowon released Chief Obafemi Awolowo from prison by signing an instrument of pardon on August 2, 1966, shortly after becoming the head of state. While the Eastern regional governor, Odumegwu Ojukwu, had physical custody of Awolowo in Calabar Prison, the legal authority to pardon a federally convicted prisoner rested with the head of state in Lagos. Gowon's decision was a strategic move to foster reconciliation and build support for his new government.

Go read real history not Yoruba fake history..

Awolowo was in Calabar prison under Eastern region which Ojukwu was in charge of.

He was released by Ojukwu

Correction: Chief Awolowo was released by Head of state Gowon then & not Ojukwu (pls note)

Na still small northern soldiers made him drank rat poison called Otapiapia.

not only that of South west....
Igbo people always forget that the free education Awo did was not only for Yoruba people but also for Igbo and Hausa living in the southwest at that time.

The man fell in his bathroom and hit his coconut head in the sink...

Na so e take die.
No-one even noticed that he had died in his bathroom.

He died a shameful death for practising tribalism and suggesting the then govt to suffocate the Eastern region.
