Its funny people say she was the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria as though the north could have been considered as "states" at the time. Everything was happening in Lagos, Calabar and one or two places in the east. The other states didnt really exist..."She was the first woman to drive a car in the Western Region" *My Opinion*

@Post

I love the picture. Just looking at the background, one can see that this was a time when Nigeria was still SANE and the environment clean and serene.

Bigots please don't derail this thread. Why are some of you upset that Mrs Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was the first woman to drive a car? what has the lady done to you? I just don't get it.

Back then , there is no way anyone will buy a car and it won't be known or even celebrated.
It is very easy to determine who is the first to do what , when it comes to limited commodities like cars back then

Your disagreement is baseless , reeks of jealousy/bad belle

The reason why some dispute this is because their ancestors used to smuggle cars into the country to drive in their farms. So the licensing authorities may not have been aware of those driving in the villages. grin grin grin grin
