Ameyo Adadevoh is The Real Heroine. Great and Heroic Bloodline ... she comes from excellent stock and she is the product of a noble and illustrious lineage. She was the great great granddaughter of Herbert Macaulay,the founder of Nigerian nationalism, a great and courageous nationalist, the scourge of the British colonialists, the founder of the first Nigerian political party, the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), the founder of the Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) and the founder of one the most formidable political parties in our history, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC). She was also the great, great, great grandaughter of Thomas Babington Macaulay, the founder of the first secondry school in Nigeria, Christian Missionary Grammar School, Lagos (CMS Grammar School). She was also the great, great, great, great granddaughter of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church, the. man who first translated the Holy Bible to yoruba, the man who first translated the Book of Common Prayer to yoruba, the first Nigerian to be awarded a Doctorate of Divinity from Oxford University in 1864 and the man who introduced Christianity to the Lagos Colony (as it then was) and to most of south-western Nigeria. In terms of heritage, excellent blood lines and good stock you can’t do much better than that. - Femi Fani-Kayode 2 Likes |

Without a shadow of a doubt,Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu: 1] First graduate and quartermaster-Genral of the Nigerian army 2]Son of the richest man in West-Africa but chose to join the army as a lowly recruit-private even though he had degree from Oxford University at the time. 3]First Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria. 4]Amist the wholesale killing of easterners in the north,still chose to seek the peace and unity of Nigeria by going to Aburi,Ghana where he signed a peace agreement that required to recognise Gowon who was junior to him as head of state. 5]stood up against the northern domination of Nigeria when all others would not. 6] Declared the Republic of Biafra on 30th May 1967 when Gowon not only failed in his constitutional role to stop the killing of Igbos but also broke the terms of the Aburi agreement. 7] Ojukwu by declaring Biafra became the only Igbo man to this day who chose stand by his people above all considerations,even the notion of 'one Nigeria'. A great man he was. 2 Likes |

Tonylyte: awolowo was a premier of the western region, to which other place do you expect his administerial responsibilitiesto extend to? Didnt each regions have their own premiers then? Even the mid-west had theirs, so why ascribing the massive illiteracy level of your people on Awolowo? Okay in order to make free education available for every nigerians he vied for the presidential post in 1979 and 1983 did you vote for him? Did ur parent and grandies vote for him? did your ethnic folks vote for him? how do you expect the whole of nigeria to enjoy the dividends of free education when Awo is not given the chance to be the head of state? Mugabe, Martin luther and all other figures aforementioned by you are people who distinguished themselves in their sector of struggles, the more they were given the opportunity to advance the more they worked hard to prove their worth. Awo worked very hard and proved his worth in his area of appointment as a premier and as a vice chairman of the federal after which he promptly resigned honourably in both cases. So young man education is not only the ability to read and write, but to subject opposite ideas to impartial reasoning and arrive at a tenable conclusion which is devoid of sentiments and prejudice. This context of mine is not intended to spite but to extricate your point of view of things from the cantankerous tangles of ethnic sentiments. Thanks NEEXT!! |

i've got no mortal hero but i have deep respect and great admiration for The late Dora Akunyili who was bold enough to enlighten Nigerians about fake drugs and ruin the businesses of white and yellow chalk sellers who claimed to be drug manufacturers. I also have great admiration for the lady doctor who insisted that the liberian retaard-patrick sawyer must remain in the hospital instead of moving all over lagos and causing a wide spread epidemic; she ended up sacrificing her own life. (someone should please remind me of her name). Is it not remarkable that these two were women? African women are great!!! |

We don't have national heroes in Nigeria! The only person that comes close to a national hero is none other than Olusegun Obasanjo, although I can't stand the man! In terms of sectional heroes, none other than the duo of Obafemi Awolowo, greatest Yoruba leader to date and Samuel Akintola, master strategist and brilliant politician. No greater calamity has befallen the Yoruba people on account of the duo not being able to work out their differences. |
