Mausoleums Of Famous Nigerians In Pictures

The catacomb of previous Oyo State lead representative, Abiola Ajimobi turned into a web sensation a couple of days prior (see past string here https://www.nairaland.com/6119045/congressperson abiola-ajimobis-cooled grave) thus I chose to investigate the sepulchers of different renowned Nigerians. 

Pictures of catacombs of well known Nigerians. 

A catacomb is a structure or structure that contains the burial place of a striking person of note. It is generally planned so that adherents, fans and partners of the individual can visit the burial place. That is the explanation that it has comforts like seats and forced air systems. 

In certain nations it is standard that meeting heads of state and other such dignitaries visit the sepulcher of their previous pioneers and lay wreathes at their burial chambers. 

A few catacombs are important for a gallery or library that contains material about the expired individual and travelers are permitted to visit the sepulcher for an expense. 

President Nnamdi Azikiwe kicked the bucket in 1997 and the Federal Government vowed to fabricate a catacomb for him. Shockingly the sepulcher was not finished until 2018.

The mausoleum of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. This is the first mausoleum that I saw in Nigeria. Chief Awolowo died in 1987. The former prime minister of Nigeria, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was a very simple man and he thought that he would have a very simple grave when he died, but the Federal Government built a mausoleum for him. The interior of the mausoleum is actually very simple. The main reason that I'm posting pictures of his mausoleum is so that you can see what I mean when I saw that the mausoleum can also serve as a library or museum. In the third picture you can see the items that Tafawa Balewa used when he was alive. Tafawa Balewa's tomb in the mausoleum. The museum. You can see Balewa's radio, bed and other items. The exterior of the mausoleum

Other mausoleums around the world. The most famous mausoleum in the world is the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal, burial place of the favourite wife of a Mughal emperor. The Pyramids in Egypt can be considered to be a kind of mausoleum. The Pyramids of Egypt. Pope Francis visits the mausoleum of Hassan II, the former king of Morocco.
