Nigeria didn't deserve independence; we were never ripe for it. The coup plotter accused the government of Belewa and Azikiwe of corruption.

Over 60 years later, we still haven't solved the same problem. The British should've stayed a bit longer. Till date, nothing shows we are fit for self-rule.

Governor of Lagos at the time, please who killed Funsho Williams


This is the reason we should write our history. Is it the same SL Akintola that fought before he died and did not die like a chicken? He did not go down without a fight so what's this all about? About writing our history, there are books about SL Akintola and they can tell story about this man but if Tinubu can tell the story of Akintola, I want him to tell his own life story, let's check something. Starting from his parents 🤡 We should ban those who don't have a clear history from telling history please. It's an insult to our collective intelligence. The b is ggest mistake the government made, and so many of our politicians do this was to turn Akintola's residence to a Court of Appeal. We no de preserve history, we will just destroy things and be building new things.

One of his sons wrote a book about him where he described his father's death. You may find that in libraries abroad and in some archives but the title of the book was Akintola, the man and the legend: A biography
by Akintola, Victor Ladipo.

Others have written on him but I rely on his son's account for something like this.

The spot where PM Balewa's body was found should have been a historical site. Hopefully it's not been taken over by bandits

That's the part that is of concern to me here. The way he died is not something that should be revised into a joke.

Once he died there, that place should have been preserved. That's how we recollect history. I just updated my post you quoted to include the video of where Tafawa Balewa's body was found. Do you know what that site is today?

Six years after independence they already killed the prime minister. Seven years after independence they were already killing each other in a civil war.
Africa keeps showing the world it can't manage itself
