Azikwe's car beats Awolowo's car by 1 million times.

They were modest leaders who were selfless unlike our leaders today who are just in office for themselves and their kids.

Nuzo1:
There's no element of modesty in the two guys and their cars as at the time they owned these cars.

Dino Malaye is a reflection of what our past leaders have been. No difference.

You will be amazed to see the modest car the last Governor General used before handing over to these rascals who we call statemen in the 60s.

In his book; "From third world to first", Lee Kuan Yew captured in details and made mockery the corrupt and ostentatious lifestyle of Nigerian leaders when he visited in the 60s.

Most of our corrupt and ostentatious leaders today will be described in 40 years from now as modest.

Nigerians forget easily.

Nuzo1:
You can get "FROM THIRD WORLD TO FIRST" in Airports, big bookstores, online and even shops in the market.

It's an eye opener. A simple guard on how Lee Kuan Yew supervised the massive development of Singapore.

He talk about almost all the countries his government came in contact with. What they learned and those they refused to learn from.

He said he never bothered to return to Africa to learn anything from them as their leaders were all visionless, corrupt and insincere.

He said his greatest shock was how our leaders landed with latest presidential jets and Cadillacs (just like the ones Zik and Awo owned) to UN and other international engagements to beg for money. While he would land in a commercial flight.

He wondered why a beggar would come to beg for financial assistance in an expensive jet while the person or group assisting would use commercial flights?

He said in UN or commonwealth meetings, African leaders are usually allowed to mount the podium and blab for the sake of making them feel important. But that in real sense, nobody ever takes them serious.

Remember, Lee Kuan Yew was describing our so-called leaders in the 60s. The same rascals we call prudent statemen today.

I will screenshot some pages and post here tomorrow.

Watch this video of them during 1979 presidential campaign. They both were cruising the mecedes benz 200E. A car that middle class nigerians couldnt afford till around 2001.

Our leaders are/were all bad. From buhari to murtala to gej all were/are crooks.

Meanwhile check out asian countries and how they left us behind like bad habit

Obafemi the traitor a modest, his single act of betrayal lead to death of millions of children, women and men, well as Karma have it the northern slave as he is, sams northerner bleeped him up and he died of poison. Took his own life, one word KARMA. He was not great. He was selfish, Judas, wicked and naive. Nigeria would have separated and every country developing, no one would be facing this hardship.

Presidential cars are not affordable by the middle classes in most countries. It's supposed to reflect the grandeur and glory of the presidency.
