Irony1:
but Eastern region from 1940 till 1967 overtook the Western region in education numbers which made Awolowo introduce free education in 1955.

That is the beauty of regional government. Imagine we had sustained the healthy competition in Nigeria, ideas would be coming and we would have had a better Nigeria by now.


Regional government my take.

Whence we came and first sang our praise
