He also gave the world a wormhole into the Nigerian/African world, I mean, Nairaland is like the online Nigeria. It is so amazing cause now you don't need a VISA to come inside the country for a tour!

I'm paying my respect sir! You are indeed a true son of the soil! An Icon and ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL NIGERIAN TO EVER EXIST!!
