Pls pals, who is this pyguru. I dnt know y hates me, he ban me everysingle moment, sometime even just after posting something, i wonder how sharp dis guy is. I even follwed him in order to atleast reduce the ban he usually gives me, but its abrtive. One funny thing is that i never see a post or comment of him.
Finally am back, n i must fight him ASAP

yuzedo:


Pyguru is THE MATRIX.... You cannot battle the system! *Ghen Ghen*

odumchi:

I za aga ole wuru onye Igbo?

FreeGlobe: Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Fela.

Naval sadiq: soyinka is not a national figure he is only a critic.that he won a nobel price doen't make him a national figure.

afam4eva:
I doubt if there's any country who doesn't have a National idol.

BeraBera: I'm Ibo, but I will recommend the Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka any day any time

ypzilanti:
Soyinka qualifies, he speaks the truth and is consistent. He even spent 3 years in prison for fighting against the Nigerian government's quest for the civil war. I am yet to see any award from an Igbo group to him in this regards, or any acknowledgement of his contribution.
In Nigeria, the major ethnic groups so hate each other that it appears being born from one place automatically deprives you from support from the other. We are hateful people, unfortunately, and an anonymous forum like Nairaland confirms it.
I think Fela also qualifies.
Chinua Achebe is another national icon, but he has dared to speak his mind and demystify a Yoruba 'god'. Majority of Yorubas hate him now. It is the nature of Nigeria.

safarigirl: you sure? Over 200 countries and only one has no National Icon? What kinda misfits are we? Kazakhstan, Armenia, Libya, Somalia, Canada, Nepal, Argentina, Gambia, Sierra Leone, google their National Icons, see if they have any. A National Icon is one who led a struggle, mostly for Independence. Enahoro would have been ours, but too many ethnic groups and sentiments to choose one. I'll have to go with Fela, he's the one person who has general consensus with Nigerians cos he led a struggle, and his message continues to resonate Nationwide. I doubt there's a Nigerian who will speak ill of Fela. Plus, Fela's name is synonymous to Nigeria anywhere in the world.

achi4u: zik of Africa

FreeGlobe: Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Fela.

Arcard: Herbert macauley

BeraBera: I'm Ibo, but I will recommend the Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka any day any time

Clerverly:
You are "Ibo"? Smh! Which tribe is Ibo? Because in Nigeria we only have Igbos.

afam4eva: I was listening to a brand expert on AIT yesterday and he was talking about human brands. He cited Nelson Mandela as the number one brand that South Africa has. And when they presenter asked him if Nigeria had a Human Brand and he answered in the affirmative but said that most of the brands are regional rather than National. Meaning that there's no single person that is loved by majority of Nigerians from different parts of the country and i agree with his sentiment.

If one mentions Nnamdi Azikiwe, the person has to complete it with Ahmadu Bello and Obafemi Awolowo. How come we don't have a Nationalistic figure?

Efemena_xy:

That's easy.

afam4eva:
He's one of the few leaders that were not seen from a tribal prism but we hear more about ZIK, Awo and Bello than we hear about him. Many people don't know much about him apart from the fact that he's on our currency.
