In Nigeria, Obafemi Awolowo – “Leader of the Yorubas” needs no introduction indeed. This nationalist and political leader took an extremely important part in our country’s quest for independence and hold important functions in the machinery of the state. Most of the progressive social legislation making our country a modern country is credited to Awolowo. In fact, on three occasions, he made attempts at the presidency Federal Republic of Nigeria. Obafemi Awolowo died at the age of 78 at his Ikenne home in 1987.

Obafemi Awolowo took an extremely important part in our country’s quest for independence
To pay tribute to his life and work, the Efunyela Hall, part of his Ikenne home, was made a museum which was commissioned by his widow in 1989. Particularly, an 8-seat grey Mercedes-Benz 230.6 is shown off in the museum. Obafemi Awolowo's Mercedes-Benz, which was purchased in 1970, was driven by him to travel across the country during his presidential campaign in 1979 and 1983. Now, peep at it!

A Mercedes Benz in those days is like a G-Wagon of today. Only the rich could afford it. It was called Merci Oloye then in the west.

And what is the wealth in buying this kinda car?

Base on the position he occupied, if he was that corrupt, he would have more than this Benz as private car, being a former minority leader and commissioner for finance.

Coup plotter.

The car is not being properly maintained despite its unique history.

It is showing signs of serious rust. I doubt if the engine is in good shape at the moment.

The car should be restored urgently to prevent it going into a rusty end in few decades.

Don’t allow poverty to take over your reasoning

Using a car or living a good life is not living a ravaged life before you can become saint

You need reawakening mind as soon as possible

Lol

One day they will sell the museum to chukwudi and he will build plaza and they will sell the car to pan taker to butcher it for 200k.... Nigerians mostly see value in cash or kind...

The concept of preservation of anything is abstract mostly...

Hence the abysmal maintenance culture

I thought he was rich.

The Benz is still there, looking forever.

One man that shaped the destiny of Nigeria.
