These are indeed great pictures of the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe in the year 1959.

Also fondly referred to as “Zik” or "Zik of Africa", this Nigerian statesman was the first President of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966.

He is popularly considered as the driving force behind Nigeria's independence and came to be known as the "father of Nigerian Nationalism".

Azikiwe could speak Yoruba, Hausa and his native language, Igbo.

Motivated to get a university education, he traveled to U.S. and attended various colleges including Storer College, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania and Howard.

He returned to Africa in 1934 to start work as a journalist in the Gold Coast (now Ghana). In British West Africa, Azikiwe was an important advocate of Nigerian and African nationalism, first as a journalist and later as political leader.

In one of the pictures shown below, the great nationalist is seen standing near his car. And in another, he is sitting in the same car.

If you know the name and model of this car, kindly state it in the comment section.

The ROLLS-ROYCE and Bentley's of today

the name of the car is segam

Nnamdi Azikiwe was the biggest dreamer of his era.
He wanted to be seen as a Nationalist at the expense of his people.
He was blind to the reality on ground that Nationalism can't exist in Nigeria.

This mumu would have been more celebrated if he first sought to be Zik of Onitsha first before aiming for Zik of Africa.

You gotta start from the roots first.
Ahmadu Bello cared about his people first.
Obafemi Awolowo also.
But oga forgot that charity begins at home and wanted to care for all of Africa.

I strongly believe there's power in names because many years later, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan made the same mistake Zik made probably because of the Azikiwe in his own name.
Neglecting his people in the South and living to please the Northern Elite.

Right now, I don't care to know what car he drove, because his actions and inactions completely drove a people many miles backward.

Nothing last forever even your hatred on Igbo's can't last forever

Wait who is the guy posing with the car
