What You Don't Know? The Yorubas Are Making Nigerian Proud. by fineyemi(m): 10:37am On Aug 13, 2015
I would like to share this important information publicly. Just recently Last week in Russian, the whole huge country was shocked when a certain medicine student who graduated from a university in Russian in Medicine and surgery with an impossible CGPA 5.0.
This genius did not just score 70% to clinch an ‘A’ but always scored 100% in all courses he sat for.
His Professors organized the exams for him again (because nobody has ever scored such a mark in medicine and surgery in the history of Russian) to confirm if he’s truly that brilliant but they were all floored because he scored 100% in all the exams again.
A more deeper enquiry showed that he is a Nigerian and more interestingly a Yoruba.
The Yorubas have made Nigeria proud in so many ways , some of which include: lets kip it rolling grin wink
1. The first black man to found a university (i.e fourah bay college Sierra leone in the 1830s) in the world history was a Yoruba named Reverend Samuel Ajayi Crowther.
2. The 1st Nigerian lawyer to defend cases in british supreme court was a Yoruba named Sapara Williams. ( He defended his 1st supreme court case in 1881)
3. The 1st Africa to own a motor car was a Yoruba named Herbert Olayinka Macauley. He was also the first Nigeria to form a Political party, 1st Nigerian to appear on Nigerian Currency, 1st Nigeria Polymath in Africa History. He was also a Specialist of law,Civil Construction, Music Technology and his Great Grand Daughter Dr (Mrs) Stella Adadevoh submitted her own life to save Nigerian from Ebola virus in 2014.
Nigeria is presently using 1999 Constitution which was a copycat of 1979 constitution which has itself filled with ideas copied word-for-word from Two (2) of Obafemi Awolowo’s books titled “Thoughts on Nigeria constitution” and “The stategy and Tactics of the People’s Republic of Nigeria”. In other words, the Yorubaman Obafemi Awolowo indirectly gave Nigeria its constitution
4. Yorubaman Fella Anikulapo Kuti was the 1st Nigerian musician to be internationally recognized (By being the 1st to perform in almost every country of the world) and he was the 1st Nigerian Musician to be listed in Guiness Book of Records. YorubaMan King Sunny Ade was the 2nd Nigerian Musician to be Listed in Guniness Book of Records.
5. Yorubaman Hubert Ogunde was the 1st actor (Film and Stage) in Nigeria to be recognized and awarded all over the world. Many of his works (e.g Morenike Alaso Oke, Aye, Jayesinmi, Yoruba Ronu, etc) Are still taught in Nigerian Universities and all over the world.
6. YorubaMan Professor Soyinka is the 1st African to win Nobel Prize for Literature.
7. A YorubaMan justice Akinola Aguda created and drew the masterplan of Abuja FCT when the General Muritala Muhammed commissioned him to look for a New Federal Capital for Nigeria.
8. YorubaMan Lateef Jakande was tagged the Best Governor in Nigeria from 1979 to 1983 due to his many achievements in Lagos state
9. YorubaMan Babatunde Fashola became the best Governor in Africa due to his many achievement from 2007 to 2015.
10. YorubaMan Bola Tinubu created the strategy that broke records in Nigerian history and made his Party A.P.C defeat an incumbent Nigeria President.
11. YorubaMan Olabisi Ajala Broke World Records by travelling to 87 countries on his Vespa Motocycle while he was a university student and a film actor in U.S.A ( The famous Ajala that travelled all over the world) The Track was sang by Ebenezar Obey “Ajala travelled all over world”
Yoruba Woman Mrs Ransome Kuti was the 1st Nigeria woman to drive a car and was the 1st Nigeria woman to form a Political Party.
