Every 80s and 90s kid who went to a Nigerian school must have come across this excercise book at some point. Matter of fact, it was a symbol of literacy.

Who was the famous person on the 2B Notebooks?

His name is Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna (1935–25 September 1967). He was a Nigerian army major and high jumper. He was the first Black African to win a gold medal at an international sports event when he won at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.

His winning mark and personal best of 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) was a games record and a British Empire record at the time. He was a science graduate of the University College of Ibadan.

He was a conspirator and participant in the failed 1966 Nigerian coup d’état.

He later returned to action in the Nigerian Civil War, fighting for Biafra, but was executed following a plot to agree a ceasefire with Nigeria and overthrow Emeka Ojukwu.

Please correct your heading. It is not infamous, it is famous. Infamous has a negative connotation.
