HOW DOES NIGERIA TREAT HER HEROES ?

This is the Ogbomosho Home of Late Samuel  Ladoke Akintola, former Premier  of the Western region.

I got to this house yesterday hoping to see a tour guide,  a visitors form and a museum created from the life of one of Nigeria's  greatest sons from the Southwest. 

Alas,  welcoming me was a mentally challenged  woman who had converted the gate B into a Kitchen where she prepares her meals on the one end,  and take a nap of soliloquy on the other. 

As I took shots of the expansive mansion,  no doubt the best house in town in its days,  a tear dropped down my face. 

This is my country. 

This is Oyo State. 

This is one of Nigeria's early political titans that I read so much about nearly on all  post colonial literature on Nigerian politics, nationalism and administration.

How do we treat our heroes?
