Rotimi Adebari (born 1964 in Okeodan, Ogun State) is a Nigerian-born Irish politician. He was elected as the first black mayor in Ireland.

He fled Nigeria in 2000, and made claim for asylum on the grounds of religious persecution, but his application was rejected due to insufficient evidence he had personally suffered persecution. He gained residency in Ireland under the Irish Born Child scheme (since repealed).

He and his family settled in County Laois. In 2004, he was elected as a city councillor in local elections. In June 2007 he was elected as mayor of Portlaoise Town Council (9 members), with support from Fine Gael (2 seats) and Sinn Féin (1 seat).

He completed his master's degree in intercultural studies at Dublin City University

karpentar:

How's that a JAMB question? What indeed have the Nigerian or the world celebs contributed to the betterment of Nigerian nationhood or the world at large other than:

Out-of-control fornicating, adultery, wild partying and sensual into the night. Murder is everywhere we turn, killing, killing and more killings.

They cut themselves in the name of demonic tattoos. Why would any normal person want to hurt themselves?

They are untamed and out of control, naked, and acting crazy. This is all we see in the news:

These celebrities always get high on drugs, in and out of rehab, in and out of sexual relationships, blaspheming the God of the Bible, wearing a cross around their neck like Anna Nicole Smith. She eventually died of a massive drug overdose just months after her own son overdosed and died of illegal drugs.

Television viewers are infatuated with death, insanity, smut, violence, gossip, lesbianism, cursing in God's name, feminism, and every form of wickedness.

My dear poster, don't you let Hollywood brainwash you into believing that it's ok to live as they do. It's not.

Whats ur point?
