Chief Obafemi Awolowo

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, or Awo, as most people called him, was a politician and statesman, intellectual, and one of the leading African philosophers of the twentieth century, as such best known for writing his African Platonic tract The Peoples’s Republic in 1968, and his doctrine of ‘Mental Magnitude’. His cardinal social principles were the development of mind and body, in the context of contemporary, developing Africa, free education and free health.

 

Awo having been variously described as ‘the main issue in Nigerian politics’ by Ibrahim Babangida and ‘the best President Nigeria never had’ by Odumegwu Ojukwu was not only a politician and national leader, but also he was a prolific author and a gifted orator.

 

In fact, a lot has been read, written and spoken about him, especially since his transition on May 9, 1987.

 

He was also a man of humble beginning, who, by dint of hard work, self-denial and singleness of purpose, rose to become a legal luminary and an economic wizard; a political organizer, social engineer, reformer and a political leader of Nigeria.

 

Awolowo was a leader who promoted religious tolerance and development, irrespective of faith and sect. He was a revolutionary whose single purpose was to provide free and compulsory education at all levels and free health care services, as well as gainful employment to all Nigerians.

 

He was a promoter and supporter of higher education, who also founded many educational institutions, including teacher training colleges, colleges of technology and universities.

 

Sunshine Bookseller thinks that it would be beneficial to the society to make Awolowo’s published works available to future generations of Nigerians. So we have done a very great job to bring you a collection of his works. Though we were able to collect just some few copies of his books, so the book collection goes to the fastest figures to place an order on our website.
