hisexcellency34:
Many Yoruba leaders are only putting on Awo's cap today but thinking about their pockets

Absolutely right

Either you like it or not

Akpabio is the father of modern day Akwa Ibom

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.

Thank you

But never led his ethnic to genocide

He never allowed his people to get killed

He never abandoned his people

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

Lt. Col Murtala Muhammed, Lt. Col Yakubu Gowon (new Head of State), and Obafemi Awolowo after Gowon's regime released Awolowo from Calabar Prison in August 1966.

Background: Obafemi Awolowo was convicted for treason and jailed (in 1964) for conspiring with the Kwame Nkrumah government to overthrow the Nigerian government under Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa.

On January 15, 1966 some young officers fronted by Maj. Patrick Chukwuma Nzeogwu cut the head of PM Balewa's government figuratively in that Balewa and other regional Premiers (except Michael Oparah, the Eastern Premier and Dennis Osadebay, Mid Western Premier) were murdered in the violent coup.

Nzeogwu's coup was immediately put down by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Nigerian Army, Maj-Gen JTU Ironsi, who then seized control of the Nigerian government.

Many young northern officers felt some type of way that mostly northern politicians and officers were killed in the January coup by the officers who took out Balewa's government, so these northern officers retaliated in July 1966 brutally taking out Maj-Gen Ironsi. Many Igbo officers and NCOs were also massacred by mutineering NCOs from the north across Nigeria in July 1966. The roving spirit and mastermind of the July Coup was Murtala Muhammed. Muhammed and his co-conspirators were prepared to cut off northern Nigeria from the Nigerian federation and were dissuaded by more mature minds and diplomats. Muhammed and his conspirators agreed to have Col. Yakubu Gowon as the new Head of State so Murtala Muhammed was always lurking over Gowon's shoulders and this picture is poetic in that regard.

Almost 10 years after this picture was taken, Gowon was overthrown (i.e. July 1975) and Murtala served for a short time as Nigeria's Head of State before he was assassinated in February 1976 by conspirators led by another participant in the July 1966 coup - Buka Suka Dimka.

So went the interesting "Game of Thrones" Nigeria military style. In fact the Class of July 1966 (TY Danjuma, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida Joseph Garba, John Shagaya, Gado Nasko, Sanni Abacha et al) would go on to dominate Nigerian politics for many decades.

Nigeria my country

Wike And Amaechi didn’t have interest of Rivers people’s at heart

They are more concerned about Pdp and Apc stuff

Also on personal vendetta

Hope it's not a sacrificial something?

Google will tell you

Though he tried

Don’t forget he had intervention, foreign and other aids

He really tried

Amuocha:
Worst governor in HISTORY of Lagos

A total disaster

What were the security and intelligence unit looking at when it was going on ?

No Mr President he performed woefully

Eg

Ile zik to Sango Ota toll gate is approximately 20km

Did you know Lagos State Government installed 4 x 35 sq mm armored copper cable to interconnect the Street lights on both side of the road from ile-zik to Ojokoro

That is over 40km if both sides are considered.

Because they didn't extend the street lights to the toll gate they went as far as Ojokoro which is about 16km or thereabout.

Each Street light pole structure had 25m span apart.

There are about 1280 nos of street light polls on that corridor fitted with 250W bulb.

The cost of 1 meter of cable as at time of installation was N12,000 per meter

The cost of each Street light pole with the accessories was around N310,000.

The installation cost for every pole was pegged at N60,000 inclusive of casting and escavation.

Lagos State invested borrowed funds to the tune of

(32,000x 12,000 + 310,000 x 1280 + 60,000* 640)

That is N819,200,000 which is

$2.28 million.

Guess what everything was vandalised under the guise of building a BRT corridor on Ile-zik to toll gate. We don't know the whereabout of the entire infrastructure. Where the cable alone is valued over $1m

As I write the entire road is darker than hell at
Night.

Ambode is a disaster that befell Lagos.

Hmm

Nigeria police are not our friends

They are our arch enemies

dukie25:
Ogbeni you support same people abi?

You seems not to understand what they call patriotism

Criticize objectively

Commend when it’s right

Not party based politics like most of you do

This is arrant nonsense

Yet we have hospitals spread across the country

Not functional

I laughed a lot if I see people doing cultism

Is there money attached to it ?

Fame ?

Clout ?

My understanding about it is low esteem

Wretchedness

Hopelessness

N doom

Nigeria politician are very clever

Get small Mimi followers

Attack the ruling government

Get attention

Masses are the tools used

After all the bribe they got?

Same police that were beaten up

You better send Sara or air raid

This is the result of societal degradation

From drugs, cultism, kidnapping,armed robbery and other social vices

Nigerians need to do soul searching

Our society can’t get better if Know proper upbringing

Everything is not about money and fame
