Obafemi Awolowo Lying In State After His "Controversial" Death In 1987 by ludamix(m): 10:23pm On May 03, 2015 |
Chief Obafemi Awolowo pictured lying in state in 1987, his trademark cap placed on glass casket. Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo, GCFR was a Nigerian nationalist and statesman who played a key role in Nigeria's independence movement, the First and Second Republics and the Civil War. Some say he died peacefully in his hometown, Ikenne in Ogun state while others argue that the political heavyweight committed suicide after being allegedly betrayed by a loyalist to the military president -(then General Ibrahim Babaginda). Whatever the controversy may be, the foremost leader undoubtedly contributed to the upliftment and development of Nigeria. https://mobile.twitter.com/SeeMeSeeNigeria/media/grid?idx=0&tid=594942607949717504 12 Likes 6 Shares

[size=13pt]Indirect rule was success in North, failure in East but in West nobody knew their stand till today, you cant say whether indirect rule was a success or a failure in West, everything about a people is sitting on the fence, unable to create a clear cut agenda and unable to speak with one strong voice. In Confab, South went with resource control as part of the agenda, South East stood on resource control, South South stood on resource control, when it got to South West Lagos delegates where saying different things, yoloba delegates where saying another things(that everybody will control resources except oli), Afenifere was waiting to know what the North will say in order not to ruffle their feathers....this was how everything about resource control fall yakataaa[/size] 120 Likes 13 Shares |

BuddahMonk: You flatt heads are a bunch of cu.nts. When are you going to do the needful and declare your Biafra? Bloody cowards. Perhaps you all should go and resurrect Ojukwu to lead you on another suicide mission. We know you hate us (Yoruba) and frankly we don't like you either, we're merely tolerating your whiny behinds.

kallmemrB: let us learn to discuss issues at hand. This thread is about awo and whether he committed suicide or not and not about Ojukwu. Though amnot ibo but I rrespect Ojukwu more than awo. Because the way awo took his life left so much to be desired. 54 Likes 9 Shares |

Yes we all know that Zik failed us big time because he was busy looking at the bigger picture of a united African nay a one Nigeria while others were developing their regions. Why didn't Awolowo took the opportunity the Biafra secession presented to him to have his own country since he believed Nigeria was not a country but a mere geographical expression, few years later he came back to be the president of a mere geographical area, Sahara Desert, Sambisa Forest and Bermuda Triangle are geographical areas as well he should have contested for election there perchance he might win. kallmemrB: 32 Likes |

eazisky: Only a f*ool will compare Ojukwu the coward, who initiated a war he was ill-prepared to wage, to an Awo. The same Agbari-Ojukwu that sacrificed and wasted 3-million of his kinsmen in a needless war, only to flee at the last minute to ivory coast. Obviously they haven't learned anything from that misadventure. The chest-beaters should unite and return to their region in peace so they can have their Biafra peacefully. Then we will take them seriously. But if they start any shyt like the last time, there will be no mercy on them this time around. 55 Likes 5 Shares |

Atleast Biafra lasted for three good years, when you tried your gra gra in 1993 it did not even last for two days because people deserted your cities and towns, that was when you realized your paper champions. You started June 12 and was expecting Igbos to fight your wars, Ralph Obioha and Bobo Nwosisi were the only people around Aare Ona kakanfo when he declared himself president elect, when the two dudes left him his people couldn't even protect him or at worst sneak him out and this is the end of Solomon Grundy OoduaVanguard: 88 Likes 6 Shares |

BuddahMonk: Unlike you f*ools, we were strategic in our resistance during June 12 and pick our battles carefully. We only fight battles we can win. Awo realized Ojukwu was a fraud hence his alliance with the north instead of u losers. And what do you have to show for those 3-yrs? 3-million wasted lives. 45 Likes 5 Shares |
