Popularly referred to as the Golden voice of Africa.
His tomb is located in Bauchi, Bauchi State.
He hails from a local government named after him, Tafawa Balewa L.G.A.


Let's celebrate a Hero who has done so well in Nigeria's political landscape.

No, he relocated. He's now living in a 2 bedroom flat.

Sorry, what did Balewa do so well that is worth celebrating?

Rigged Census - crisis
Rigged Western Nigeria election - crisis
Rigged General election - crisis, etc.

All those led to total chaos in the land, leading to a military coup, his assassination, and ultimately, a civil war.
With due respect, I think he was among the litany of clueless rulers that this country has been plagued with.
Wonder who is worse btwn Balewa, Shagari & Jonathan.
Wahala poju smiley

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa's visit to the United States in 1961. He stayed at the Blair house as
did PMB. He was eloquent and articulate. I prefer the Nigerian accent from those days though.

You guys are just helping this dude/chick to increase her mentions, it's like she's competing for the nairalander with the most mentions.
He/She doesn't reply even if u quote him/her a million times.
U'll just be surprised the day he/she will post the snapshot of his/her nairaland page here nairaland to see how much mentions he/she has been able to accumulate.
joblessness @ it's peak

He was responsible for the partiality that helped fuel the crisis in the western region in an effort to obliterate the Yorubas politically. The unwise intervention of the Nzeogwu boys checkmated his evil ploy to do the ILORIN over the whole of Yorubaland.

Anyway, may he RIP
ok just hearing these for the first time.waiting for many other comment.am off to go and watch spurs beating red devils

The LG was not named after him, he was "named" after the town. Except you want to say Kano is named after Aminu Kano.

Golden voice? You were what they were talking about when they say that the Government is a reflection of its people. That's right, cluelessness breeds cluelessness. Golden voice my nyash

Wicked murderous Biafrans staged the first coup in Nigeria. It was genocidal , the cowards selecting their targets shamelessly to include the Honourable gentleman Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.

ProfessorPeter:
while his Tomb is a national monument, that of Azikiwe is an eyes sores. Marginalization no start today
Marginalisation, the tomb of Tafawa Balewa is under the state control and family responsibility.

What have the people of Azikiwe and his family done to ensure his legacy lives ! Which kind of man blames another person for his self inflicted misfortune
