Meet Tokunbo Awolowo, the schoolgirl who presented flowers to Queen Elizabeth II in 1956

Queen Elizabeth II was presented flowers on different occasions during her first visit to Nigeria in 1956. One of the girls who presented flowers to the Queen was Tokunbo Awolowo (now Dr (Mrs) Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu), the daughter of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who was then a schoolgirl.

In 1956 she was looking like that and now she looks like this, Just like a wine. Na lie

And if she still meets her today after 63 years, she must kneel or bow to greet her

Colonialism nonsense

So should being a daughter of a politician put her at a disadvantage even if she's eminently qualified? Na she make ya fada go be civil servant or na trader sef?

When the Queen landed in Lagos in 1956 and she was given a warm reception at the Old Race course (Where Tafawa Balewa Square was later built over 25years later), the daughter of Oba Adeniji Adele presented her with a flower.

Ojoro don dey this country no be today is she the only one that's bright in that school as at then
