To those that are quoting me don't blame me

He is a legend! our own true legend!
one bottle of legend for the Living legend!

Rip, but how did he die, I mean what's the cause of his death ?, no offence pls, just asking .

Oh, you mean the rat poison man?

Ok

The man that did, in 8 years, what the colonialists could not do in more than 40 years.

He brought civilization to Nigeria through television station, first in Africa.

Free and compulsory elementary education to the old Western and Mid-west Regions

He opened housing and industrial Estates from Ikeja to Ibadan

He ended the civil war through wisdom.

A tribalist that did not want any of the tribes of Africa moving forward. But he try small for Yoruba education

I don't like this man

A suicidal man

lilytender:
Yes, the man that used over three million stubborn goats for pepper soup and suya between 1967 and 1970. Several years after the children and grandchildren of the stubborn goats of yester-years are still being used for suya by Fulani herdsmen.

oh cool. But he in hell though. Burning for eternity...while the people he tried to feed on are bubbling and flexing hard..now the richest region in nigeria

yea Awo was a great man

where is lalasticlala

Sage indeed,rest on the late Sage

The guy even looks confused. In his mind he's like: Ewedu and otapiapia which one even tastes better?


Rot in hell.

Awolowo, the patron saint of unity beggars.

RIP Awo

in terms of education


aside that. the country he fought to keep together is a disaster , rat poison did the job well


rest in pieces

Them beg you to like am?

baba Awo, the best president Nigeria never had

The best!

Th only leader in the world I've read and heard referred to as "the sage".

He died naturally at a ripe age.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

A lot of Nigerians, now part of the wasted generation, who benefited from his policies and benevolence are always quick to mock the best of Africa for introducing only one policy that defeated 'the enemy'.

"Awolowo is greater than Mandela"- Odia Ofeimu- Nigeria's foremost writer and former private secretary to the late sage.

rot in hell awo (frog)

RATAK

cowardice

I remember he died but left fake awoists as successors. I mean characters like Aregberascal, thief.nubu.
