queensmith:

More like ill advised nation!

lagcity: I get the OP's point. But as long as nobody else from the "village" comes forward with facts, Funmi Kuti remains the first. Shikena!

lagcity:
Oh BTW, Mungo Park didn't discover sh1t!

afam4eva: I can understand that of the first woman to fly a plane because planes were very few in the country at that time and people would definitely notice if one flew a plane. Especially if it's a woman.
Can't believe it was only me that noticed this. This okoro is saying it would have been easier to notice a woman flying a plane than driving a car! Incredible. Maybe people then would have used 'African aeroplane to check who was flying the plane. Stupid okoro!

Dede is the most tribalistic okoro I have ever seen.He knows it !

naijababe:

Daring to be different and doing as you wished especially if you were a woman in 1920s Nigeria is a helluva mean feat.

queensmith:

Erm, how does she represent every woman in Nigeria considering they were bastardly rich??

She drove a car for Christ sake she didn't launch a rocket into space, how about the first female palmwine tapper?? That will have been different!! Gimme those fun facts!

Please we are just glorifying nonsense and the nonsense individuals.

First woman to drive a car you know the more I hear it the more ridiculous it sounds.

shymmex:

I think Grandpa Dede needs to emulate the intelligent Grandpa Eziachi IMHO...

Pa Eziachi is the most intelligent, and knowledgeable NLer despite being proud of his tribe.

shymmex: @ Dede1

Grandpa, why do you have so much hate in your heart?? *No pun intended*

Dede1:


You are one imbecilic gull. Even a noted praise singer such as you could not offer the date Mrs. funmilayo ransome kuti drove the car, the motorcycle or the model of car and motorcycle. Was the car she drove a morris minor, vauxhall, VW beatle, humber, zepher, opel reckord or midget? Was the motorcycle she rode a triumph, motoguzzi, mobilate, Norton or Indian?

ekwah: e be like say some nairalanders no get something to do with their time. mcheew! wetin consign u if na she be first or last dat one go put food for ur table? see blind argument o.

Dede cannot change,it's like tellin a leopard to change its color.He modernized tribalism with his skills of writing. Just one sentence from him surpasses the entire madness of defunct mekuxxx.

Dede1:


I have a measured respect for Mrs. funmilayo ransome kuti but can not stand moronic assertions by praise-singers who take people for granted. If tribalism is art of telling the truth with fear or favor, I had worn it as a badge of honor. It is even ridiculous that some of the dimwitted praise singers could not be write that Mrs. funmilayo ransome kuti was a co-founder of certain things attributed to her.

queensmith:

She paved the way?? Did she build the car? Why do we celebrate mediocrity like this?

shymmex:

It isn't about tribalism, grandpa - it's about your anger towards everything that's not from your part of the country..

It's just the same pattern of comments with you every day on NL...

Your post pattern since you posted your first comment in 2009 - to date - has never changed, sir...

Are you sure you're humanoid, or a computerised clone??

~Bluetooth:


Offical record says she is the first,why doubting it or do you intend to take us back to 1920 so we can know if it was a chrysler or crosstour ?

ndu_chucks: This woman was known as the First Nigerian woman to drive a car and also the First Nigerian woman to ride a motorcycle. The number of cars and motorcycles present in Nigeria and their locations were known to the authorities, hence no one has been able to dispute the claim.

People will soon turn this into another tribal war. SMH

Aigbofa:

Internet revisionists at work again! How many cars were there in Nigeria at that time?

Small time now we go hear say one woman dey drive corvette at that time for Onitsha.

Dede1:


I do not blame you because of the silly country called Nigeria. You simply can not feign lack of knowledge when you make statement of fact. What is official about a claim that has no date? If she was the first woman to drive a car, the date and model of the car she drove must go along with the alleged record. By the way around 1920, Mrs. funmilayo ransome kuti was still a pupil of Abeokuta Grammar School.

afam4eva:
There were few cars then but don't you think that in one remote village or town, a woman could have driven a car even if she was been thought how to drive.
