ShyM-X:

- Hakeem Olajuwon: the greatest basketball player of African/Nigerian descent - no one else is close. He was so good, he was named "The Dream" and his "dream shake" is one of the best skills in basketball. Arguably the greatest center to play the game - and definitely top 20 greatest basketball players ever.

And what does she know about Nigeria

Adejoro74:

Bigot. What did Wole achieve? A noble prize in literature.
What did Awo achieve? Leading his ethnic group
Those are your yardsticks. What else?

Okay I get it, both are Yorubas like you.

chukwudi44: Sir louis Ojukwu-The first nigerian multi-millionaire.

Samuel Ajayi Crowther-First black bishop of the anglican church and first person to tranalate the bible to yoruba.

se.xkilza.phull:


Bishop Ajayi Crowther also was one of the Yoruba men who helped to teach your grandfathers how to write! Go look it up! In the end, it is clear that the Easterners owe the Western Yorubas a huge debt that can never be repaid to 0.1% for the gift of writing that you were taught and received back in the day!

veraponpo:

To say you are correct is to be the most foolish and to say you are wrong is to be sentimental but if critically viewed, Achebe did not accomplish some of the most important things he intended to achieve. He died of regrets and pains. He could not even stay in his fatherland. 'There was a country' highlights one of the things he couldn't achieve. He was a minister in a dead country. Obasanjo single-handedly brought the Vice President of Biafra to Lagos and the President(Ojukwu) had to run away for Obasanjo as a marine commando. Achebe to me was successful but to himself he wasn't an achiever.

OBJ is not, the most accomplished is Awolowo the father of Afria

And who are you to call another a bigot? You are the smelliest, most disgusting, extremely stup.id bigot on NL and you call another a bigot? What a pharisaic nematode from the Niger waterside? It is on record that most of you are bigots but think by deflecting this reality to others, it pulls wool over the eyes of the far more sophisticated people in the West, North, and even the so called minorities of Nigeria! Well, the man has given his opinion and you should either live with it or jump into the Niger river with a big stone tied around your neck! Chief Obafemi Awolowo is eons ahead of anything that can or will ever come out of your geographical space and in a more civilized space, your ilk would be summarily decapitated even for mentioning his name! You are welcome to crown anything that was responsible for destroying 3 M lives he pretended to "lead" but dressed like a woman to escape to Abidjan, that is your own cup of tea but dare not take the names of people like Professor Wole Soyinka who looked every beast in the eye and stood his ground, when it was most politically inexpedient and went to jail for standing up for the humanity that your "hero" willingly destroyed 3 M without batting an eyelid and yet disappeared when it was time to account for his convictions!

Sweetlemon:

Politics : Bola Tinubu. In terms of being the most intelligent player in the game
Literature: Wole Soyinka
Religion: Pastor Enoch Adeboye. he leads a size of congregation that most pastors can only dream of
Culture: ?

Lordlexy: And how has his literature benefited us. He was part and parcel of d chaos that almost disintegrate Nigerians with his published fairy tales of biafran account. He's more of a disaster than an accomplisher, except for tribal jingoist, brain washed, ethnic bias mind like you who out of frustration would rather swallowed everytin he said hook, line and sinker without verifying fact.

solomon111: I know you were yoruba.
Your bigotry shines through you.
Yet you were claiming cross-river/calabar in another thread just to prove a point.

Is catholic church a person?
Abi u meant the most accomplised nigerian is the pope?

farem: [color=#990000
I COULDN'T AGREE LESS! LONG AFTER HIM, HIS LEGACY OF FORESIGHT AND ADMINISTRATION ARE STILL THE REFERENCE POINTS, HIS HATERS INCLUSIVE . CHECK HIS CONTEMPORARIES, THEY ARE NO MATCH GIVEN THIS INDICES.

ShyM-X:
Damn! I can't believe someone posted "Catholic Church."

Nigerian youths are intellectually deficient and they read everything upside down.

That being said, the only thing the catholic church accomplished is sending pedo priests all over Nigeria to molest little black boys!!

Sweetlemon:

So because I did not mention any Akwa-Ibom or Cross River person I am not from there ba?
Not everybody sees the world through their home towns you know. Especially not me. I give pay everybody their dues regardless of where they come from and I couldn't possibly care less. one of the reasons why my fiance is not from my region.
Nansense!
