Am I CAUCASIAN before?

The questionnaire never gets lost angry

someone said he slipped on the bath tub.....ok

then whats with the otapiapia, everyone x yelling about. Even some google search brought it up.

guess, thats what too much heated debate that is twisted with half truths can cause.

And I just asked an elder sha, He mulled the Otapiapia angle too. I am f.ucking confused anyways.

Why am I bothering over a dead man

AFRICAN CHILD... COS YOU TOOK AFTER MOST OF AFRICAN LEADERS. THEY LEAVE OUT WHAT WILL BRING DEVELOPMENT TO THE LIVES OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES, SOCIETIES AND FOLLOWERS AND THEY WILL BE PURSUING THE IMAGE OF HOW THEY BECOME RICHER THAN THEIR ANCESTORS. I THINK YOUR LAST QUESTION SERVES YOU RIGHT AND ITS WORTH MUMBLING ON FOREVER.

I hope one day you'll grow up and denounce your hatred of a group of people who care less about you, and decide to stand up from your urine soaked blankets to make yourself great.

Last word to you, if any man in your generation has acheived half of what this man has acheived, I doubt you will spend your fruitless days hating on a group of people.

Grow a brain!!!

By now his eyes would have been damaged by the torture from the devil for committing cheap suicide.
I wish the devil will show his torture in nta for us all to be entertained, I would have love it.
His legacy are
He was a slave to. Northerners.
He was a coward.
He died miserably like a fool he is.
And he has been forgoten so soon.
By now he will be so hungry in hell fire that he
will be begging to eat shit and drink piss
I am a yoruba man and I hate. These ugly man with passion.
Rip slave and coward

Go to your ancestors to get acquainte with you history. Awolowo was never in allianc with the core north, it was Azikiwe who even acted as a slave to the northern oligarchy. Awo approached Zik to form alliance with him at the parliament. He even offered to support Zik to be Prime minister, even though Awo's party won more parliamentary seats than ziks. However, typical of the greed with Igbos Zik betrayed Awo and formed alliance with the north. So who is now the slave. Please stop showcasing yor generational foolishness on this platform

I cant just wait for the day they are granted their wish of creating their nation. They seem to assume every other tribe will fail, but what they conveniently forget is; everybody (including them) will survive eventually.

To draw the curtain on my contributions here, i will say:

Every human should remember, none of us chosed the tribe we are in, it was a God-given gift. Every human was born naively into a tribe without choice. So if you feel great about your tribe, so is the next Jack on the street.

It would thus be expected of us to respect every tribe as much as you respect yours, cos brother it could have been you as a member of that tribe (remember you didnt choose).

I have had enough Igbo friends over the years and all I have for them is ultimate respect. But the hatred here is appalling.

God help us....cos at the end of the day, everytin is vanity

You can never please everyone in life because your good deeds is at the detriment of some people's mischievous acts. Awo can never be forgotten even the so called Ojukwu admitted that by calling him the best president Nigeria never had. It was during his era that Nigeria as a country competes with European country, it was then that Nigeria problem was not money but how to spend money. It is palpable that till now Nigeria has never had a leader who has foresight and commitment like Awo.
No wonder everything you did then was first in Africa that is why we are referred to as giant of Africa.
Awo ........... Our man
Only voice for the masses
You will always be remembered
true,

True

Whenever I see ratak , I remember him.

What you see doesnt matter. Osinbajo is already acting as president.

When will the yEasterners ever rule the "zoo" since they will forever remain "slaves" in it?

Go and ponder that question.
Zoo is meant to be ruled by animals.

I won't be happy ruling a zoo.

Awolowo is known mostly through his free education programs and television initiatives, first in Africa.

But most importantly, he taught us that a single brilliant yoruba man, can eviscerate any enemy of the progress of the tribe without lifting a single finger. Whether it be 1, 100, or 1 million enemies. Through intellect and strategy. He is the master tactician. It is the mantra we continue to live by today, and the main reason why we will always succeed. Those who are smart will study him.

God bless Awolowo in heaven.

The man that did, in 8 years, what the colonialists could not do in more than 40 years.

He brought civilization to Nigeria through television station, first in Africa.

Free and compulsory elementary education to the old Western and Mid-west Regions

He opened housing and industrial Estates from Ikeja to Ibadan

He ended the civil war through wisdom.

I concur!! 100% cool

Awolowo is best remembered as the most callous genocidist in the history of mankind for plotting the death of over 2 million innocent children.The hottest part of hell has been burning his Soul for the past thirty years after his miserable and shameful death through Aba-made rat poison.

Ok, so what do we call that bearded general who declared war on a whole country, despite lacking adequate arms and ammunition to defend his people, yet still sent under-aged defenceless civilians to their death at the war front, only to turn round and abandon them to flee to Ivory Coast? shocked
