Awolowo is was a great man!!!!!

He has the interest of his people at heart

With numerous achievements

First television in Africa ( NTA Ibadan)

University of Ibadan

Free education

He’s a great man

Officialgarri:


After independence , I think Awolowo had less relevance in Nigerian politics .

He was only a 2 or three time presidential aspirant which kept loosing before he went into retirement.

sarrki:


Thank you

But never led his ethnic to genocide

He never allowed his people to get killed

He never abandoned his people

Officialgarri:


After independence , I think Awolowo had less relevance in Nigerian politics .

He was no doubt instrumental in the actualisation of an independent Nigeria but the moment Akintola kicked him out, he became a mere 2 or three time presidential aspirant who kept loosing before he went into retirement.

Officialgarri:

Its one thing to lead your people to death, its another thing to stand by your people till death.

Only great men stand by their men till death.

No matter how bad Hitler is, he died an infamous matyr.

I agree with the part in bold. However, I know one coward who led over 2million of his people to death only to run to Ivory Coast when defeat was very obvious. We must always condemn people who lacks the strength and character to fight till the end.

Many Yoruba leaders are only putting on Awo's cap today but thinking about their pockets

What lead to him drinking rat poison?

I guess you’re referring to the latest porn star in town.

His senior brother ran away to Ivory Coast during the civil war when defeat became imminent. Seems they have a way of running away in that part of the country after creating unnecessary crisis for others.

Impact is the important thing not position
He formed the UPN and his party controlled 5 states which today are 8 states

Lagos State, Oyo state Ogun State Bendel State and Ondo State.

Those 5 states exclusively practised free education and the impact is there till today

Go to Delta and Edo state and see the impact of free education endures till today
under UPN Bendel State Uniersity and LASU were built

Edodefender:

Look at Murtala Mohammed looking on. It may be difficult for some to believe that shortly before this picture was taken, this evil man called Murtala Mohammed orchestrated a coup, not only to kill many of his comrades from the Eastern part of the country, but also to pull the North out of Nigeria

Some Nigerians like to think bad of Ojukwu for breaking up the country, they dont know that this genocidal killer called Murtala Mohammed actually planned to break up Nigeria long before Ojukwu did. Murtaka initially demanded the secession of Northern Nigeria from Nigeria. It was only after the British envoys in Nigeria held a meeting with Murtala and his fellow Northern coup plotters and told them that Northern Nigeria was not economically viable and that Eastern Nigeria had huge reserves of Oil and Gas did their tune change from "Araba" (separate!) to "one Nigeria!". They now hurriedly chose Gowon because he was the highest ranking Northerner in the Nigerian Army at the time.

Murtala would go on to lead the second division of the Nigerian Army to commit war crimes such as the Asaba massacre and the summary execution of Biafran prisoners of war

Today, despite Murtala Mohammed being a coup plotter, war criminal and a genocidal killer, Nigeria still honoured the man on their currency and major landmarks such as roads and Airports

That's Nigeria for you

Edodefender:
wow thanks for this. I blame the British I'm sure they funded and helped Nigeria during the war
