The best president Nigeria never had - even Ojukwu alluded to this.

If this man had been president for four years, Nigeria would have been way more developed today than it is now. His legacies and policies are what makes the South West the most developed region in Nigeria, even many years after his death. A true visionary who understood the value of educations and infrastructure. He built the first stadium in Nigeria, he brought television to Nigeria, he had so many great ideas.

He had his short-comings too, he was not a great politician, he refused to work with Ahmadu Bello/Tafawa Balewa and that was what led to his imprisonment. He would rather be an opposition to the then ruling coalition of NPC/NCNC. A true man of ideas and principle.

awolowo is someone that exposed Nigerian socially, educationally with great innovation. southwestern Nigeria are still enjoying your sacrifices till today.


continue to rest in peace awoism, I read about your theory and Nkrumah of Ghana and I can't just stop reading. you're a great leader that deserve to be called HERO and not the mumu guy that ran Away to Abidjan and left his people in the state of confusion

The deification of this man has led to many errors.

Particularly, it has created the platform for many pseudo Democrats and Kleptocrats to hide under the toga of 'progressives'

Just wearing round glasses like the man is some's claim to democratic ideals

Ojukwu was making fun of him. Awolowo initiated currency change that made Biafra lost d war. He promised that if the East seceedes the West wud follow which he did not an act of betrayal. He fought to preserve the unity of a country but was denied the chance of ruling that country. What a way to reward him cos it is d right of the north to rule "One Nigeria". U admitted that his imprisonment was because he opposed his masters in the north. Does that not show u that he was short sighted to see the future of a Nigeria forever ruled by the north and its resources in the south controlled by north. Great politician my foot

Here is a man whose greed for power was hugely insatiable. After executing his genocidal plot against Biafra women and children and implementing his 419 mentality using govt policy against Biafrans by stealing their money in banks just to fraudulently enrich himself and satisfy his fulani slave masters to be allowed to rule nigeria his greediness and atrocities hunted him badly just as the presidency eluded him bitterly. he had to die a miserable,despicable and horrible death by committing suicide with a very cheap OTAPIAPIA. what a pity! life is vanity, vanity upon vanity. May God forgive u.

You people are pathetic and as confused as your forefathers.

Your fathers conspired with the North to deny Awolowo presidency thinking that you were taking revenge for the civil war. But funny thing is till today, you lots still blame Yorubas for Northern political domination and your eternal political failure.

Igbos remain the real betrayers of the south.

yes awo was a very greedy man and was never satisfied. all his ambition was to stop the Igbo from his imaginary domination. he wickedly took their money and gave them paltry 20 pounds. where is that done before? still not satisfied he took over the foreign companies through his Indigenisation Policy just 6 years after the war for the benefits of his tribe knowing fully well that Igbos were economically down and could not afford to buy the shares of those multinational companies. at the end he grounded all the companies through mismanagement. today every new nigeria presidents junket the globe soliciting for foreign investments to berth in nigeria. how can they invest when they know that their investments can be confiscated overnight.

who are the undisputed Awusa ballz suckers of Nigeria?

After fighting hard to enthroned a sick illiterate ancestor, an entire race are abandoned or discarded or even ignored as though they didn't hustle the presidency together.

Between an eternal ball sucker and people challenging Awusa/Fulani who are slaves.
