Eriokanmi:
E pain me as awolowo no become president. I grew up seeing him campaign. Nigeria would have been stronger than most EU nations today. The problem retarding our growth as a nation still persists...religous bigotry and tribalism.

Did you know that the coastal road network was actually Pa Awo's vision? That man was something else. People like Awolowo can only be found once in 50 years or once in a century.

Do you know the plant called ewe akintola? The botanical name is Chromolaena. Some call it awolowo plant. He brought it to Nigeria to fertilise the southern soil. He spread the seeds using helicopter all over South. The plant remains with us till today, fertilising our soil naturally .

I was passing by oba akran recently and looked at the cocoa warehouse, opposite guiness. That place is massive! Awo was such a selfless man. He had no private jets, no helicopter, no expensive cars, even though he could afford one. He invested his life and time on nation building. All his legacy projects, including institutions he built remain the best till date among others.


Sadly, while African nations are moving forward steadily without making noise, Nigeria the African giants is sleeping. Imagine the young Senegalese president telling France to stop pressing their neck, that they should leave them alone. Niger said same, even sent the French ambassador away, same as Mali who called their bluff. Nigeria is still licking the asss of Britain. See the election Senegal conducted, omg! Did you hear that their electoral umpire switched off the server in order to steal Faye's mandate? Other African nations used to emulate us but they backed off at some point , seeing we're not worthy to be emulated and charted their own path.

If it were before, you'd see them name their party close to APC or PDP. They'd come here to get trained by our INEC and learn how we conducted a free and fair election. I wonder what they can copy from us now. Even corruption is easing out in other African nations today. Go to Benin Republic. They were worse than Nigeria on corruption before. You barely hear of such again. Cfa that used to be a worthless currency in africa has overtaken the naira. Nigeria needs to wake up. We're not moving forward at all. No country develops in propaganda. That's what we do here.

See the wave of japa today, just sample the opinion of other african countries and you'd find out that Nigeria has the largest number of immigrants in those western nations they're running to, no thanks to bad leadership. I've never seen on the cnn that any of the mushroom african countries is crying over hunger. Its only us. We need to think deep and overcome all these challenges by ourselves asap or we fail as a nation. Enough said

Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN.

Indeed, his innovative thinking was way ahead of time.

The Ikeja GRA, Ikeja Industrial Estate, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, Iganmu Industrial Estate, Oluyole Industrial Estate in Ibadan, Western House skyscraper on Lagos Island was the tallest building of it's time, and the iconic Cocoa House skyscraper in Ibadan were ALL built by his Western Region goverment from the 1950s.
