When Nigeria was united in dignity and pride. Love for humanity and respect for national interests. Bubu didn't learn history in school. Quote me and receive thunder.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS INDEED.


to greet an Ooni, the custodian of yoruba culture you must bow/show some respect.

If only the founding father have known how mess up this nation is,they would have divide it since .

We need to go back so that we will know were we got it wrong.

Nigeria is negotiatable simple

When our politics was still mature not the divisive, puerile thing these days.

Ile ife is not the correct answer... Awolowo made a mistake..
.Balewa introduce visiting ooni of ife in Lagos.. while awolowo step back.

Do you see him wear a crown or call himself king.. no...

They created state... Osun state is now small
Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by juman(m): 7:42am On Oct 06, 2017
Tafawa Balewa and Obafemi Awolowo were also there.

All I can see is someone who wanted one Nigeria by force.

Someone who fought to get the secession clause removed from the Nigerian constitution.

Someone who preferred a northern alliance to a southern unity.

It is very ironic that his descendants are castigating others for what their progenitor did.
Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by juman(m): 7:49am On Oct 06, 2017
Hmmm

Sir Adesoji Aderemi, a great Ooni of ife.

It's always great working with great people.

Obafemi Awolowo: The father of Yoruba people.
Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by juman(m): 7:52am On Oct 06, 2017
The Ooni of today is not so discipline.

Maybe he's thinking of another olosho to marry.
Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by juman(m): 7:54am On Oct 06, 2017
Awolowo reached the status of oduduwa.

He surpassed the status of ogun, sango, oya, etc.

Any Yoruba person can also reach that oduduwa status.

In the background, I am seeing Tafawa balewa and the killer of biafran innocent children.
Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by bakynes(m): 8:27am On Oct 06, 2017
The face in btw Zik and Tafawa Balewa looks like Saurdana Ahmadu Bello but not clear enough to recognize him.

His progenitors tongue lipsrsealed You forgot he was still alive, hale and hearty when the "progenitors" fought the war to leave. He was all alone....forgotten and very soon...won't even be revered and remembered.

Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by lonelydora: 8:52am On Oct 06, 2017
Yea..that's the real Ooni, not the young boy sitting on that throne who can't manage his wife and can't choose between serving his gods and the Christian God.
Re: Nnamdi Azikiwe With The Ooni Of Ile-ife, Oba Adeso (Throwback Photo) by DIKEnaWAR: 8:53am On Oct 06, 2017
This one is a real Ooni, not the cowboy playboy and hoe lover there now.

But jokes apart, These 3 men (zik, awo and balewa) were the founding fathers of Nigeria's existence.. (According to what my history teacher taught me oo)

Their efforts were all in vain. The country is better off divided. Modified**** Nairaland's millions of members may not be active again, how can I read the complete article and all the accompanying comments leisurely, write my own comment and still make first pagehuh Eeya, the Exodus of Biafrans from the site must be dealing a heavy blow to the revenue of nairaland!
