How Every Nigerian President Died & their Last Words

This is how and when every Nigerian president died and their last words. After our coup series, we decided to take a look at how and when each and every Nigerian president died, and where possible their last words before they died. In this video, let’s find out how and when each and every Nigerian president died and their last words.
As you all know, death is inevitable. So if you are watching this video then congratulation for being alive and probably well. However, while you and I are here today, many of our leaders have passed to the great beyond. Some died of natural causes while others were assassinated.

Best NIGERIA president Umir Musa yar-Adua.... And that's a very good prayer by Nnamdi Azikwe, and he was the one who signed for one NIGERIA that's causing problems on Nigerians today... He had the opportunity to sign for separation instead he signed one NIGERIA and the one NIGERIA that Zik signed for, is now hurting NIGERIANS and most especially his own Igbo people today.. The present problems of NIGERIA is the gross mistake from the old leaders of NIGERIA and the Britain during the Independence.. God help NIGERIA Amen...
