- Obafemi Awolowo was the first premier of the Western Region and later Federal Commissioner (Minister) for Finance, and Vice Chairman of the Federal Executive Council during the Nigerian Civil War.
I pray OBJ views this! A man that was confronted with a decision to handover govt to Awo or Shagari but chose Shagari! A decision that put us where we are
Keep shut bro , that election thought the north how to rig election that we are witnessing today , outrageous figure came out from the west Lagos precisely with the UPN supporters fighting furiously and Obasanjo as Yoruba man called his attention to the constitutional clause (2/3 of 19 )and requirement as stated , you people felt he should have upturn the whole result to soothe the west in manipulation , that OBJ refused became the crime of the century abi ??? Ariwola decided to manipulate for Tinubu of today based on his conscience is his personal integrity and history , everyman chooses what to be remembered for , Awo was not a do or die man rather many of his supporters were ignorant of that fact
Hmmm ❗ Exactly 😮
Obj was just a bitter man who only wanted his name written from south west…. Evil man OBJ
Every primary and secondary school pupils/student in the south west should be given the opportunity to visit this historical location.
I'm a beneficiary of Pa Awolowo's free primary education. Free education started in 1955, I started schooling in 1956 it was a great privilege, I shouldn't have been to school. Papa, millions are your beneficiary of your good works.
I Love This
We may not see his like and his foot soldiers again,I mean forever.If not for this late sage and his political allies,the South West would have remained in darkness.
I hope Nigeria can get a reincarnation of Awo among is great-grandchildren or generation. Great family
...coming soon from an in-law. It will happen suddenly!
Awo the great! The real Asiwaju Omo Oodua. The best President Nigeria never had.
THE GREATEST POLITICAL EMBARASSMENT I HAVE EXPERIENCED AS A NIGERIAN IS THAT AZIKIWE AND AWOLOWO BATTLED THE COLONIAL MASTERS BUT FULANIS AND HAUSAS ARE ENJOYING THE FRUITS OF THEIR LABOUR. I AM AN IGBO MAN, BUT TRUTH MUST BE TOLD THAT, HAD IT NOT BEEN TRIBAL POLITICS, THIS MAN COULD HAVE CHANGED OUR SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LIVES. BIG LESSON OF LIFE.
@@DIOHAOKEOMA Thanks for telling the truth but nothing than truth. All Southerners are paying the price of betrayal of the Southern leaders in 1959, 1966 & 1979. Those tree unique periods are the best time for the Southerners to take mantles of Nigeria Government and follow the pattern of progressive Western and Eastern Regions but, the case was opposite till today.
What is the crime in someone asking you to be on your lane and let him be on his lane? Personally, I can't seem to understand. I think Zik should have faced the East and let Awo face the West as the cultures of the two tribes appear somehow at conflict. Why was Zik contesting election in the West?
It should make every purist’s eye to water😢
Such is life bro 😂this life is very unpredictable 💯. Funny enough the northerners the northerners even opposed the independence initially. God knows the best 💯 why it's that way
@@sunlight9091my brother hope this is not how u talk outside to avoid embarrassing ursef. Pls also read good history books not propagandas thanks
It still beat my imagination when I heard some people comparing Great Awo to Tinubu. The different is so glaring. Awolowo's rulership as the premier of the then Western Region was what gives the SW edge in Nigeria till tomorrow. Live on an ICON.
In what areas are they even comparing the two of them? In passion for people, intelligence, discipline, compassion or what? They are only comparing death and sleep which are never comparable!
They were incomparable the difference is very clear.
The Queen knew Awolowo & his family on a personal level.
*She understood how intelligent Awolowo was. But she was very scared of losing control of Nigeria, hence the entire continent. That was the reason she covertly vowed to continue to let the less intelligent & "uncommitted" control the country. She never wanted Awolowo to become the President & it never happened.
*The queen saw what Awolowo did for his people as a regional leader. She was aware of how independent he was capable of making his people. She was scared of having him completely free the entire country, so she made sure Awolowo never became the predident.
*I hope Baba & his family knew that the queen was never committed to an absolute-free Nigeria.
You aptly captured it. Insightful
The cameraman didn't do sufficient justice to those vintage photographs!
A closer zoom would have been in order!
❤❤❤
I was watching this video in tears and with bags of mixed emotions. It brought memories of my late father, a staunch believer, and follower of this great legend Chief Obafemi Awolowo. My father would tell us stories and great things about this great leader with great admiration, I grew up thinking Chief Awolowo was a divine or somehow some kind of a deity enshrined in the folklore of the Yoruba people. These great stories about this great man stayed with me and caused me to want to know more about Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
A true legend, a visionary and exemplary leader, a great father and family man. We are forever indebted to him. He gave us free education and many other great policies that helped millions of Nigerians out of poverty.
Thank you Mr Obilo for this video and thank you Mrs Awolowo Dosunmu for preserving the legacy of Chief Obafemi Awolowo the greatest President we never had!
Lolz what happens to my father grand father and mothers whom awolowo starved millions of them to death and give there fathers 20 Nigerian pounds
Obafemi Awolowo the great PAN African
You came, you lead and you conquered...Live on baba Olayinka ❤
Wow....my mother's home town (aka Ikenne Ereke as they say) and I remember the visit to Papa's home meeting Great Mama Awolowo with my mother in the 80s. The recent film brings back a lot of memories indeed and privileged to have met some Senior Advocates of Nigeria home and in Lagos - the Sofola's, then Papa & M Solarin etc. All from Ikenne - Imagine the wealth of legacy Ikenne Remo left our world. I beamed as I watched. Not been back for decades.
Awolowo Oselu Baba ni Ikenne. An Institution. His political records still remain unbeatable in Nigeria. A true African leader. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.!!!!!!!
Awo.In ranking can only be compared with Abraham Lincoln, the founding father of America. Big respect!!!!!!
Noble family. I love this video.
Awo Zik Okpala, Akintola , Osadebey i love them all. No corrupt attitude. All served like white men
@@samuelokechukwu4713 if you were alive during Akintola “Taku” era, you would not like the man. Akintola was the foundation of Nigeria woes.
Find out more about him.
Like dad said...if this man AWO was allowed tp rule Nigeria...he says naija would have been developed country like Europe & USA.
Not that he was a saint but his dreams of catering for the masses was what made him above his peers & up till today .(.the President Nigeria never had.)
Nigeria missed the opportunity to be led by the best brain.
Mazi Obilo thanks for sharing these iconic photos with us. Thanks to Dr. Mrs. Dosumu Awolowo for providing the history behind each of the pictures and maintaining the family legacy. Mrs Oyediran was the wife of my Vice Chancellor. God bless you all 🙏💖
My good people "NOTHING LASTS FOREVER". Just be positive in what you do and no one will forget your clemency.
Only in Nigeria that, people celebrate failure due to ethnic and tribal bigotry.
Awolowo was solely responsible for ethnic and tribal bigotry ravaging Nigeria today.
Wow! What a library of memories and history. Let's hope Papa's grand and great grand children and the Govt of the state preserves these over the years to come.
One day, Abacha's children will show us their own gallery.....how their father used our fund to send them abroad and his accomplishments.
For where 😂
That is unfortunately very possible with the way Nigeria is going currently and we would see some people tell us how Nigeria was even a better country under him as people could still afford to feed 😢!
Where you come land now brother 😅
😂
Brilliant man. Respect and gratitude to him.
I have been to Papa's residence at Ibadan,Ikenne and Parklane,Apapa.
I met Mama HID. I pushed mama on her wheelchair in 1997,celebrating a decade of the exit of an Icon.
How are you, sir?
I mean, how old are you, sir?
@@samuelilori8161 ,I would be 49 on Sunday,4th.
If I may ask,why did you want to know my age?
Awolowo is a child genocidist who starved millions of igbo children and there infact mothers to death and give there fathers 20 Nigerian pounds
Why Okebola Ibadan is so deserted like that?
What we need is for papa Awolowo Spirit to go inside one of his great grand children and to make Yoruba land/ Nigeria to be great again.
And that can't be Seyi Awolowo
My love for Papa Awolowo is unquestionably....
This is a Man who Lived well. Obafemi Awolowo has no equal in his era and no other in Politics has measured up to him today. He is such a Brilliant Mind and a Beacon of excellence.
Wife of Prof osinbanjo, she's one of the granddaughter of Awolowo, she's into politics
That's his daughter,Dr.Tokunbo and not Mrs Dolapo who is the granddaughter and married to prof.Yemi Osinbanjo.
Awesome history in pictures
The sage lives on with those pictures.
A course should studied at the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife about his life and the role he played in Nigeria's independence from Great Britain in 1960.
Yariba media told us that Awolowo once pleaded with Nnamdl Azikwe to divide the country so that everyone will go their separate ways but Zik refused that "Nigeria must be one"
My question is: , if the above statement was true, why didn't Awolowo declare his Oduduwa Republic when the opportunity availed itself as Ojukwu had already done since that was what he was yearning for? Let's not also forget that Awolowo was a close confidence to Ojukwu and even advised him to go on with the creation of the Biafran state.
You see! If you're not logical enough to decipher when a lie is being told you will take the narrative as true. Do not be surprised because betrayed has always been the bedrock of a typical Yariba man.
This was how they used the then media to spread falsehood to make it look like Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was greedy for doing what everyone collectively decided.
Nigerians missed a golden opportunity in not allowing Papa (Chief) Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo to lead Nigeria. May God continue to repose his soul in peace amongst all the Saints Thriumphant until the morning of resurrection,
Alawada 😂😂😂
NO, he Awolowo had all the opportunities in the world but he chose to turn them into ethnic bigotry and hate.
The evil that men do will forever live after them and their generations.
In this days of internet, a more detailed, schorlarly and robust interview could be conducted from brilliant mins and Awoists who are stll living on Baba's philosophy, ideologies, vision for a better Nigeria that the younger generation can learn from please. Pa Awolowo deservers far more than this short script. But I still appreciate this little effort.
Awo.....Awolowo......Awolowo the great
The Great Awolowo
Orun re Bava Awolowo
Is this place open for people to visit? If not we are pleading to Baba Awo family to make it open for this generation to visit. Someone like me can bring my kids to this place for visiting.
Great tour but personally, I am of the opinion that the interviewer wasn't well prepared for the visit as he failed to ask important fine details about each photograph that was shown to him. I can understand that he allowed the woman to lead the interview but at the same time subtle probing questions would be very cool.. Overall, I enjoyed the watching the very insightful video.
I guess you do not know the guy. He is Edmund Obilo. He did not show his interview with the woman. That's all he wants us to see. Watch out for his interview with the woman or check his archives.
He is a world class journalist. He just decided to share this video like this.
@@thebereanstv2022 Thank you. I commented on what I watched And I've already checked out most his social media platforms before your comment. Be blessed
SWEET IS THE MEMORY OF THE RIGHTEOUS 🎉🎉🎉.
ETERNAL BLISS PAPA AWOLOWO 🎉🎉🎉.

ETERNAL BLISS PAPA AWOLOWO 🎉🎉🎉.
Can someone tell me how I can buy all the reproductions of the books Awo wrote? I have some of them . I saw Awo in 1959 when he helicopter into Akure field . I was in Form 1 then.

Thanks
OBJ, was instrumental for us to missed the service of AWO.
PAPA AWOLOWO WAS NEVER OSTENTATIOUS .
MODERATION WAS HIS WATCH WORD.
Baba awolowo he is not the best president but he is the greatest president nigeria never had.
Pa Awolowo is a man who came to fame because of his benevolent disposition rather than the forces of arms He is a paragon of All rulers
The great man himself....its a pity no one else attained his heights in this part of the world.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF YORUBA HAS COME TO STAY NOW ❤❤
Free education Awolowo l'ole see!!!🎉❤😅👍
Pls who is the woman making the explanations?
Papa Awolowo's daughter. Mrs Tokunbo Awolowo- Dosunmu
Come to think of it, Many actually benefitted from this people's administrations. Free Education, and even the great opportunity for people to travel abroad to study
How I wish Nigeria could have people like chief Awolowo again. Even though he made free education possible for many of our current Nigeria 🇳🇬 politicians, many refuse to give out to society. What a great president Nigeria never had. RIP baba Awolowo. Your legacies live on.
The man who turned impossibility to possibility. (Free education fòr all / free text books. ) When there was no crude oil. Thanks you so much papa. Continue to rest in perfect peace.
Thanks ever so much for this documentary, God bless you.
Papa Awo I will forever love you, for the free Education and social services during our time in Yoruba land, May your soul continue to rest in peace.
HE WAS A GREAT MAN IN THE TRUE SENSE OF THE WORD🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤.
The sage lives on ❤
When I hear his name I cringe: the recollection of pain in my mum’s voice telling me how he caused the starvation, suffering and death of so many igbos during the civil war is an unshakable narrative I hold of him!!
Awolowo may be a hero to his own people but he is a monster to so many.
Lesson learn: your legacy as a true leader remains questionable for many when your advocacy will lead to the destruction of many others.
Advise: Today, wherever you are in any capacity you find yourself in, question how your decision will affect others because it’s those same people that will uphold and carry on your legacy in the years to come.
You have been misinformed and misled on the positive role of Awo before, during and after the civil war. Go and read his books and the words of Ojukwu when Awo died. Awo never caused any hardship to the Biafrans. Ojukwu and his Co travellers did. May their souls rest in peace. May Nigeria succeed.
Very poor production and very unprofessional. No introduction of him. How many of the new generations know him?
Awo on top
This is really incredible and a historic one. Keep doing what you best. Blessings
Why the silence about Segun awolowo jnr
That wasn't Segun junior.
I was expecting too see pictures of awolowo in his rosicrusian regalia
Your contributions to the yorubas and Nigeria in general still remained ever green.
Agba Awo ! A legend, Sage, Philosoper, Sui generis, an Avatar
The evil Abiola did won’t let him have a legacy like this
wahoo great job thanks for bringing back History
Yes I enjoyed free primary education
You live forever in our hearts. Orun rere o
Sylvanus Olympio met him.
❤Papa Awolowo, rest in peace.
This is absolutely adorable 💯
May is soul rest in peace
It can only be one Awo
Great collection of arts
Up Awo
His atrocities led to the death of over 3 million Igbos on hunger
MUMU is ""Attrocites "" where did the war started from? Banza, that war started from the north ,so why can't Ojukwu go to the north to retalite?? But he choose to come to Lagos to war and you think the Yoruba that doesn't know how Igbo were killed in the north and how the war started will now be the one to start dieing in Lagos SHUD incase Ojukwu comes to attack Lagos,reason am,when AGU IRONSI was doing his coup he didn't know that their will be repercussions ABI?? You started it now you are blaming others for mistake,afterall IGBO AGU IRONSI AND BEN NWABUEZE destroyed Nigeria by CENTRALIZING ALL PEACEFUL REGION TO THE CENTER.USE YOU HEAD WELL B4 YOU TALK HERE
Igbo soldiers killed the 3 millions their own people by hijacking the food meant for them!
Are you sure of your comment or you just say what you like?
Remember the cause of the so-called atrocities was caused as a result that, if Ibos did not betrayed other Ibo that planned the 1st coup such atrocities would have not happened.
That is, the coup has no national faces in its execution.
Attention seeker
Stop tribalism on social media
If east go, west will go! Then east go, awo join the Fulani oligarchy hegemony that jail him for 12yrs and he was made finance minister. And 20pounds was given to the ibos.
And your hero did a runner 🏃🏿♂️
Mumu, otondo, olodo.
@@chrisola6460 😂😂😂🤣
Brother you spoke well. That’s a normal attitude of a Yoruba man. They are hypocrites who can lead you into hell. Ojukwu released him and he went to the back to betray Ojukwu because of the hate he had for igbos .
If Igbo left, which tribe is in the South East?
Awo that gave igbos 20 pounds
So all Nigeria's money should have been given to the Igbos cause it's Igbo that own Nigeria mstchew!
Hello!
Igbo plunged Nigeria into unnecessary war for selfish reasons, they didn't deserve a penny. And they're still on that self destruction mission up till today
That was a propaganda, Awolowo never gave igbos 20 pounds. Still spreading wrong information. Was he the president or prime minister then?
@@oluyomielegbede2283 do nigeria have money ? 😂 mugu. I know you know your criminal awo used Igbo ppl money in the bank to send his Yorubas abroad which today had no meaning for them
