The 10 Greatest Nigerians In Her Political History by Suurulere(m): 7:41am On Sep 04, 2016
Nigeria as a nation is yet to fulfill her potential as “The Giant of Africa” due to corruption, nepotism and other nefarious activities perpetrated by her leaders and citizens alike. Nevertheless, she has produced men and women who despite all challenges lived up to their reputations, gave everything and left indelible marks in the sands of time. After careful study of Nigeria’s political history, I hereby put forth these people who hazarded their lives and rose up to the occasion when necessary as true patriots. They shall always be remembered for whatever they have done. Of these ten Nigerians, only one is still living as of today and only one is a woman. May their labours never be in vain.
