Everyone loves to defend his own, the Igbos will defend Ojukwu and Zik, the north, Ahmadu Bello and Balewa and the yorubas Awolowo. I disagree with the interviewee's disposition on Ifeajuna and Banjo. Biafra could have won the war had Ojukwu listened. Ademoyega's "Why We Struck" explains clearly.

This man is shamelessly shameful.... I have never seen a yoruba historian who likes the igbos. See him defending Awolowo. Even when all evidence are there that both him and Azikiwe did same thing and the coup would have favoured awolowo. He just hates igbos... Idiot

Who caused the kwashiorkor. Who said hunger is a weapon of war Who said if East goes West will go Who engineered 20 pounds to each Igbo family. That's someone's legacy.

The man, the myth, the legend. Eternal rest grant Papa O'Lord.

Thank you Edmond Obilo for tracking down Dr Mrs Awolowo-Dosunmu; God bless you both.

I cried when I heard about the death of Segun in my office at P&T Ijora Lagos : I was aged 21 at the time. It was a sad day for the Yoruba race.

Do you know that Papa Awo was deeply attached to Ile-Ife and the Ooni of Ife Oba Adesoji Aderemi and Oba of Benin

So, Rosicrucians don't believe in God?

Great awo i benefited from his free education papa sleep well....fro.Swiss

April 22 1990. Gideon orkar coup.

Another book. Oil politics and violence. The Nigerian military coup culture. Max siollum

Adekunle fajuyi never sacrificed himself for his supreme commander. He was as much an enemy of the mutineers as the head of state. He was taken along for execution.

You are right there was no country.

Nzeagu disobeyed orders of Maimalari in the Congo and not it was not Maimalari that disobeyed orders- check the history.This author is just peddling fair tales and Biafran propaganda!

The best example for African countries is China. Before our very eyes China moved from poor 3rd world nation to 1st World superpower. How did they do it? How can we adapt their example to our circumstance? Those are the questions African leaders should be seeking answers to. Until then, we should not be apologetic at all in seeking alliances with Russia, China and Iran to balance our current vassalage to the US led bloc

What's a great lost to Nigeria and yorubas. We missed him. R I P, baba

She's so very beautiful 👌

Whatever the disposition of the narrative, Nigeria is at the threshold of being a failed state, the water moment urge is to deconstruct it constitutionally to units that work. THIS HOUSE HAS FALEN

A very interesting interview...❤ May God send us leaders who will have the people at heart. Amen

When invitee/respondent in a discussion and all of a sudden commenced stammering it proved lies/fictitious claims. Late chief Jerome Udoji award that improved life of Nigerians workers It wasn't sectional but Late chief Obafemi Awolowo as finance minister master mind direct or indirectly implemented 20pounds to the Ibos irrespective of amount they deposited in Nigerian banks. Let everyone, Nigerians judge a true federalist.

It's difficult to Imagine what the Yoruba's have made of the legacy of Chief Awolowo. He was actually an ambitious man who was driven to rule at all costs. However, it's fair to state that he was an effective administrator of the Western region of Nigeria.

Talented Edmund, Obilo, is Yoruba man, in nature!. Though, Edo... God bless you for keeping us ,update!

What the boy did was very wrong. He even borrowed Corper uniform to decide her mother. Please momo forgive him. Reverse the causes and pray for him. I joined all mothers that are watching the clip l pray it will be well for him and make it in his life. I equally pray for all mothers that all our children will be great and great in Jesus mighty name.

At times people thought is only southeast the war, affected, that's pure lie, according to what the man says war is war, he doesn't know whether I'm Igbo or hausas, after the civil war everywhere in southweast was full of dead bodies most expecially in Ore, Ondo state to extended deadly sickness Cholera breakout, again all the whole water both river and well was polluted , no drinking water no food, some are eating human flesh, some of our Igbo family friends ran left thier property ,my mother make sure secured thier property after the war , my mother friends came back then my mother handed over her house to her friends, she coulding believe that my mother can stand on her behalf, nobody is praying for war I beg, yoruba hate igbo, hate yoruba we should have ask ourselves hw many yoruba hv you meth on the streets confront Igbo face to face this are the hand work of politicians just to cause misunderstanding and achieve thier aim between the two tribe

Some people that did more atrocities in this country Nigeria has been released. Nnamdi kanu that did nothing why must he be detained up till today why?

TREASON TRIAL OF PAPA AWOLOWO WAS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED, BUT GOD' S WAY TO HID HIM FROM GREATER EVIL.

INDEED PAPA AWOLOWO WAS ONE LEADER NIGERIANS WAS DEPRIVED OF 😂😂😂.

Your father mr Awolowo was a wicked soul and i don't think he will ever see peace. He committed war crimes between 1967 to 1970 and after that genocide him and Nigeria did against BIAFRA.

Most yoruba people feel that General Olusegun Obasanjo hates/hated Awolowo for not supporting him, I would want to believe that Gen Obasanjo was always a nationalist and as such would always prefer power shift between the south and north Nigeria 1:09:01. Brilliant interview from both the interviewer (Edmund Obilo) and the interviewee (Dr. Awolowo) 🎉🎉.

*The Igbos have domineering traits and are selfish !

I totally disagree with this man on the comments he made on Late Adekunle Fajuyi.Fajuyi's junior brother who was at the scene when the military guys came to kidnap Ironsi said his brother objected that he would not allow his guest,boss and bosom friend to be taken away and that he jumped into the land rover the coup plotters brought to pick him.For saying that Fajuyi knew about the coup is arrant nonsense.All he is trying to do at all cost is to defend his Igbo kinsmen and absolved them of any blame.the unitary form of government was introduced by Ironsi and his kinsman - Prof.Nwabueze drafted the constitution for him with the intention to dominate the whole country.That trait is peculiar to the Igbos.Now they are regretting it.Ahmadu Bello in one of the interview he had with some journalists that the Igbos gave domineering traits & selfish.

Indeed, a Great Man He was!…continue to rest peacefully Papa (Ose’lu Baba Ikenne)

Nobody seems to pay attention to the Ijaws or better still, obviously ignored. Militarily within the place called Nigeria, the Ijaws are the most armed, battle ready and mysterious nationality group in Nigeria. When they roar, every parts shocks. Check their history very well. Ask the Nigerian navy or army.

The Presenter did not start from 1959 Election to Nigerian Independence in 1960 Who Handed Nigeria To Hausas and Fulanis? An Igboman Nnamdi Azikiwe Who cancelled Regional Governments(North East & West)and Changed it to Unitary Government ?An Igboman Aguiyi Ironsi Please clarify what Ojukwu meant by saying that the aim of the coup was to free Awolowo from prison and made him the Prime Minister That’s preposterous because the outcome of 1959 was to form Coalition Government,at that time Awolowo was a free man Not in prison Azikiwe betrayed Awolowo and went to form Coalition Government with Northern Elders instead of Azikiwe forming Coalition Government with Awolowo When Awolowo was in prison incarcerated(Not a freeman because he was in prison) they wanted to free Awolowo from prison and made him the Prime Minister My Question is Why did Igbo(Azikiwe did not make him Prime Minister or formed Coalition Government with Awolowo when Awolowo was a freeman Not then in prison and after Awolowo was in prison you wanted to free him and made him the Prime Minister Doesn’t That Sound Fishy To You? Again it was called an Igbo Coup because “No Igbo Leaders or Elders Were Killed,The Plotters Killed Leaders or Elders in Hausaland and Yorubaland except in Igboland Please read Dr Michael Okpara “My Greatest Political Blunder” saying I Would Regret It Till My Dying Day kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ6fdc9iq6q0aHk.htmlsi=BO2Z_7k-loskaN15

Oga that's a fat lie all analysis shows that it was clearly and intentionally an IGBO COUP

Awolowo is a mystic. Simple!

What I regretted in life is not meeting Papa Awolowo one on one, though I was fortunate to meet and had a discussion with Chief Mrs Omotola Oyediran who was a symbol of humility. Baba was my role model though I was like a grandchild to him. I so much loved him. I Lost interest in politics after Baba' death. My father was a farmer and love Baba Awolowo to the extent that he addressed my friend.🎉

Hmmmm, Nigeria is in big mess! Inspite of her virtue and status in the society a woman of this caliber still find a way to dodged from telling the truth of Nigeria situation and some flaws of her dad.... forgetting that Nobody is perfect.Her husband is from my home town iperu remo in ogun state but still I'm disappointed!!

He loves his country (Nigeria)more than anyone else.

oh my, 😪

I don't know what would have become the fate of the yorubas in politics without baba Awolowo. He gave me free education in my primary school. Baba Awo was a great man

This man was lately recruoted does not have much facts.

did he really come before his time? The best President Nigeria never had.

Dr Dosunmu is wrong on parliamentary system. That means winner takes all. North will always produce the president for ever. Thus, parliamentary system is not workable in Nigeria.

Rest on papa. . I met him once at archbishop vining memorial church during your 70th birthday.. l was the choir crossbearear

GOD ALMIGHTY creates unique beings once in a lifetime. Baba was not exempted. Live on, Baba Awoooo ❤

Papa AWOLOWO🇳🇬🥀✝️🙏R.I.P, a great Statesman, awesome, extraordinary, visionary, kindness to people, gracefulness, respect to All, A President Nigeria🇳🇬never have!, Divine mission✝️🙏, Driven, love of Country🇳🇬 and strategic. My hero, I love you🌹, adieu🥀. John EGBULUESE😎🌒, 🇺🇸🌎🌍.

Thank God for Pa. Obafemi Awolowo. If not for his free education program in Western region, I wouldn't be opportune to have access to education. Thank you Papa. You were a real genius.

I remember we used to say this slogan in the 80s “Free education. Awolowo loleshe” !!!✌️✌️✌️

Thanks for this great interview with Edmund, very interesting, may the souls of both papa and Mama continue to rest in perfect peace and the Lord will continue to bless all what they left behind in Jesus name Amen, thanks to you ma, I wish you long life in good health in Jesus name Amen,
