RIP man. Your father is/was a political legend. Zik still remains the foremost Nigerian nationalist, no other comes close. If there's one reason why I don't want Nigeria to breakup, it is only because of Nnamdi Azikiwe. His dreams for Nigeria must come to pass.

noblezone:
Tell Oga Zik the truth!

Tell him that the generation who were running the affairs of Nigeria in the 60s are still the same ones running it today.
Then inform him that the killing of Nigerians by Nigerians inside Nigeria is now worse than when they were around.

Tell him that the Noblezone is not happy with him, that apart from the fraud called "ONE" Nigeria, I am yet to see any other legacy he left for us.

Sir, I wish I knew when you were leaving I would have given you a note to Odimewgwu, the people's General.
Just tell him that we are no longer afraid to discuss Biafra. That his dream is alive in our hearts.

Safe journey

Please who can explain why there is bamidele in his name?...is the mothe Yoruba?

Bekwarra:
R.I.P great man, the scion of the Great Zik. I can still remember you sitting like a fulfilled old man during the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall University of Ibadan along with GMB, El Rufai, Bisi Akande, Abiola Ajimobi, Rashidi Ladoja etc. I still have the picture I took while you were delivering your speech. God bless you sir. The Zik name lives on. Zik Hall, the greatest hall in the University of Ibadan, the greatest hall in Africa.

Pavore9:
Onitsha people love bearing Yoruba names

Lucasbalo:
Part of it's affinity for the Yoruba's in his political group of NCNC then. People like Adeniran Ogunsanya and co who was his top lieutenant then. He was really a detribalized man . RIP to his son.

bigfrancis21:
Don't be unnecessarily stupid. Nnamdi Azikiwe was a strong believer in one Nigeria such that he spoke alln 3 Nigerian languages and gave his first son a Yoruba middle name to solidify his belief in one Nigeria. However, I doubt if Chukwuma himself gave his own kids yoruba names.

Vessi:
hi exactly. Even awo's son is nowhere to be seen. Balewa's son b too. Many others.

Ezenwammadu:
RIP

What is silly about my comment? There are better ways to communicate your thoughts but this is certainly not one of them! Go do your research first before thinking you are an authority on this issue! l grew up in Lagos beside an Onitsha family, when we were still around 7/8 years the youngest child in that Onitsha family was in his 20's. so they were uncles and [b]aunties [/b]figures to us and we knew them by their yoruba names despite the fact that both of their parents were from Onitsha, inland town to be precise. There was this elderly woman who was also our neighbour, she was from Rivers state and was popularly known as Mama Rivers her children were known by their Yoruba names despite both parents coming from Rivers state!

Watch your words!

bigfrancis21:
