The year 1947 when Olufunmilayo Kuti (Fela Mama) led an entourage of Yoruba Kings, Royals and Chiefs plus Nnamdi Azikwe to London on a major quest for independence from British colonial rule. Fela was right when he said "She is the only mother of Nigeria.

She do well!!

Zik was a great man who believed in strategic alliance and deployment of intellect to pursue a course and achieve a goal. Ojukwu and Kanu would have gone to such a place with sub - machine guns and RPGs.

Guess how young they were then. She to our present youths.

This same leading and political spoon feeding is what some people expected till death do them part.


They have chosen to live their lives and political destiny on bitterness, "revenge" and "retaliation" till they die because the spoon feeding has stopped

Op will still look for a way to insult igbo people, if not in this thread then it'll be in the next one

She contributed to the terrible mess in Nigeria's political history.

Nonsense.

It wasn't successful... One could say that if it was, we wouldn't be in this mess.

That would have saved us from foreigners from Sudan and Cameroon.

The Yorubas and igbos that championed the independence are foolishly at loggerhead today while the Fulani that played no role is calling the shots on all front and smiling to the bank

Why is it that no one in the delegation was obese?

Could it be the diet they lived on then?

A similar delegation today would likely comprise of obese people.

Just look at those over grown babies wearing oversized clothes been lead around like babies by a woman that will be thrown out of the window ....




Barman gimme one more bottle

That’s the irony! What a shame! Too bad there is no solution or resolution in sight

This was the NCNC delegation led by Azikiwe (Igbo) that visited London to protest the Richards Constitution of 1945, the two men, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin (Ijebu Yoruba) and Dr Abu Bakar Ibiyinka Olorun-Nimbe (Ilorin Yoruba), were members of the delegation. Others were Malam Bukar Dipcharima (Kanuri), Chief Nyong Essien (Ibibio), P M Kale (Bakweri Cameroonian), and Mrs Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (Yoruba).


They were also relatively young then

She was 47

Zik was 43

Prince Obafemi Adedoyin was 35


Abubakar Olorun-Nimbe  was 39

Nyong Essien, probably the oldest, was 55

Zik was a foolish bastard that sold out the south to become a northern slave though he was gifted option to rule like a king. Zik is cursed even in his grave.

That’s harsh young man

Remember you will also taste death too

Nigerians always recognise and cherish their right to have sought after independence from Britain. Nigeria even has a day, 1st of October, set aside to celebrate its independence and freedom from Britain


But if Biafrans like Ojukwu and Kanu talk about getting independence from Nigeria, the same Nigerian will start screaming "treason!", "python dance!", "war!"

Hypocrisy is a Nigerian

We were too young for independence then, Nigeria would have been better if independence had been delayed till much later when the Brits had fully developed the country. We got our independence without war on a platter of gold and we ran the beautiful country that was gifted to us to the ground.


What a shame

Wow

And I don't think the Govt of Nigeria has done anything serious to immortalize her memory in the nations history

She was indeed a strong woman.

I guess we never learn our lesson.

The way 9ja moved 4wd was when the igbos & Yorubas worked together.

Now dem don use psychology to make sure we don't work together.

So it's Afonja vs Biafra.

Cone Head vs Igbo


Brown Roof vs developer


Skull Miner vs Baby Factory.

And una say southerners get sense?

Is fela's mother not Igbo?

May God punish the british for granting us independence. Ogun fire them

Olufunmilayo Ransome did not lead anybody to anywhere during the constitutional conference.
