  19. When men were boys...can't believe this queen and her baby daddy are still alive! after all these years. Meanwhile Zik and Obi Don waka since.. Anyway when u don't have to lift a finger why won't you live long. Them kukuma get longevity for their lineage..1956! Chai! E Don tay. See what time has don't to them now. Old age sef. When I look at my dads aged sister currently living with us, I feel sorry for her, life has gone by. I know this is a long epistle sha but beware, youth is fleeting

    1. Obi of Onitsha was in his seventies, while Zik was in his fifthies.The Queen was only thirty,and her husband thirty five when this picture was taken.You should also remember that Zik died at the age of ninetytw0.

  55. Linda! That was not Zik but Awolowo. Zik was more astute and handsome than that and will in no way wear such an attire....LOL

  58. Nice pic. Instead of people seeing that nigeria was a country where royalty used to visit our great men and women. King and queen of england visit you. Some are looking at fashion, socks and sandals, and zik looking like osuofia. Shows you the priority of the younger generation.

    Very sorry for the young man that says zik sold out the igbos. He is either lost, ignorant or on drugs. Lack of respect for the people that gave their all for us is a big illness in nigeria. I pray for this country.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Semi-literate people on this thread are insulting the great Zik of the Universe. People whose ancestors were living in mud huts and wearing G-strings when this photo was taken, are now wearing shirts & trousers (Western attire) snd insulting a man who singlehandedly has achieved more than all the indigenes of their hopeless towns collectively
