This Honorable, educated and distribalised man is my warrior. He is dubbed as the father of nationalism in my country, #nigeria because of his giant strides in our quest for independence from our colonial masters. He prefer handwork and disahor injustice, dishonestry and fraud. Nepostism and corruption was never attached to his name.

He was born Born to Igbo parents from Anambra State Eastern Nigeria in Zungeru in present-day Niger State , as a young boy he learned to speak Hausa (the main indigenous language of the Northern Region ). Azikiwe was later sent to live with his aunt and grandmother in Onitsha, Ananmbra State, where he learned the Igbo language . A stay in
Lagos exposed him to the Yoruba language ; by the time he was in college, he had been exposed to different Nigerian cultures and spoke three languages which help him a lot when he became our first indegious President as he really understand everyone's philophically thought and can implore to our deepest sense in addressing our common problem and agenda.

His Achievement

He was popular called the Zik of africa because of his fruitful effort for the self-rule campaign in across africa.

Azikiwe became governor-general on 16 November 1960, with Abubakar Tafawa Balewa as prime minister , and became the first Nigerian named to the
Privy Council of the United Kingdom. When Nigeria became a republic in 1963, he was its first
president .
During Nigerian-Biafra Civil war, Azikiwe was a spokesman for Biafra and advised its leader,Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu , during the Biafran War (1967–1970). As a distribaled Leader, He switched his allegiance back to Nigeria during the war, and appealed to Ojukwu to end the war in pamphlets and interviews. The New York Times said about his politics, "Throughout his life, Dr. Azikiwe's alliance with northerners put him at odds with Obafemi Awolowo, a socialist-inclined leader of the Yoruba, the country's other important southern group."
After the war, Nigeria government made Azikiwe, achancellor of the University of Lagos from 1972 to 1976. He joined the Nigerian People's Party in 1978, making unsuccessful bids for the presidency in 1979 and 1983. He left politics involuntarily after the 31 December 1983 military coup .
