Moments before he left this world, Chief Obafemi Awolowo started looking for this book: “Life After Life” by Dr. Raymond Moody

Moments before he left this world, Chief Obafemi Awolowo started looking for this book: “Life After Life” by Dr. Raymond Moody. Many thought his search for the book was to further enrich his enviable depth of knowledge. But Baba Awo likely knew what was happening.

His story is one that gives credence to arguments that people have premonition of their passing before it happens.

Awolowo became deeply interested in spiritual and metaphysical subjects at this time particularly about life after dæth, reincarnation, and the immortality of the soul. During interviews and conversations with close associates, he was known to have mentioned wanting to read the “Life After Life” after hearing about it.

The book, published in 1975 by Dr. Raymond A. Moody Jr., discusses near-dæth experiences and what people reportedly encounter after clinical dæth — a theme that strongly resonated with Awolowo’s personal beliefs about the continuity of the soul.

In fact, his wife, Chief (Mrs.) HID Awolowo, once recalled that he spent considerable time reading spiritual and philosophical works, including “Life After Life”, in preparation for what he believed was a transition to another plane of existence.

Moody’s research found remarkable similarities in the stories of those who he spoke with and which he summarized into common elements, such as:

1. A feeling of peace after “dy!ng.”
2. Leaving the body and viewing it from above.
3. Traveling through a tunnel toward a bright light.
4. Meeting decæsed relatives or spiritual beings.
5.Seeing the summary of everything a person did in his entire life “flash” before them.
6. A border or point of no return, before being sent back to life.

Though the book did not prove life after dæth, it powerfully suggests that one’s consciousness might survive beyond the body.

In one interview at this period, Awolowo was quoted as saying: “I am never afraid of dæth. What I fear is failing to do all that I am destined to do while on this plane.”

And shortly before his passing on May 9, 1987, Awolowo reportedly told his wife: “My dear, I have finished all that I came to do in this world. I am ready to go home.”

ARE SOME PARENTS CHOOSING MONEY OVER THEIR OWN CHILDREN?

Published

Some parents spend years chasing money, building businesses and accumulating wealth—all in the name of “giving their children a better life.”

But here is the uncomfortable question:

What if your child has everything money can buy, but doesn’t have YOU?

A child needs more than school fees, expensive clothes, gadgets and a comfortable home.

They need your time.
They need your attention.
They need your affection.
They need to know that they are loved, heard and valued.

💰 Money can be earned again.

❤️ But once a child’s trust is broken, rebuilding it may not be easy.

🕰️ And once childhood is gone, you can never buy it back.

Don’t become so busy providing for your children that you forget to actually be present in their lives.

Because one day, your child may remember the money you provided—but they may remember even more clearly the moments you were never there.

🔥 QUESTION:

Do you believe some parents are sacrificing too much family time in the pursuit of money?

A WORD OF WARNING: NEVER LET YOUR SUCCESS MAKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE.

By

Since you are not feeding anyone, you should never see anyone as being beneath you.

Having money does not make you more human.
Having a degree does not make you more valuable.
Having a big position does not give you the right to disrespect people.

Today, you may be comfortable while someone else is struggling. But life can change unexpectedly. Never use your current advantage to humiliate someone who has less than you.

True greatness is not measured by what you have in your bank account, the car you drive, or the position you occupy.

Your real character is revealed by how you treat people who cannot give you anything in return.

Be humble. Be respectful. Treat people with dignity.

You are not better than anyone simply because you have more than they do.

💬 Do you agree? What do you think makes a person truly great?

BEING EDUCATED SHOULD NEVER MAKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON AN UNEDUCATED PERSON.

Education should give you knowledge, but character determines how you use that knowledge.

Not everyone had the opportunity to attend school or earn academic qualifications. Some people learned through life, work, family, hardship and experience.

Having a degree does not make someone more valuable than the person without one.

Your education should make you more humble, not more arrogant.

Respect the cleaner.
Respect the farmer.
Respect the mechanic.
Respect the trader.
Respect the labourer.
Respect everyone.

Because the person you look down on today may have life lessons you will never learn in a classroom.

Education is powerful—but humility is priceless.

💬 Do you agree? Can someone be highly educated but still lack wisdom?
