learner.

greatest
ever. Google about him to confirm.
In Medicine, Nigeria's best medical student ever is
Victor Olalusi, having graduated from a Russian
university with a perfect score of 5.0 CGPA, first of its

greatest African musician who ever lived was Fela
Anikulapo Kuti.

the Grammy Award. The only two Nigerian musicians
ever nominated for the Grammy are Femi Kuti and
Sunny Ade. None from other tribes. Even the MOBO,
top black
music award, has been dominated by acts like Tuface,
9ice, D'banj, Wizkid and Davido, from Nigeria. Only
Tubaba is the non-Yoruba here.
Every artiste now tries to sing in Yoruba e.g. Chidinma
and Flavour- Ololufe,
Psquare- E je A Jo, etc. Yoruba's rule the
Nigerian music world.

her close competitor, Genevieve is yet to achieve.

the Yoruba nation will tear apart
from Nigeria without firing a single shot. And it will be
through Awo's legacy.''

For your small mind @ OP...

where are you from? It is better you park well and enjoy your glance so that you won't mess up yourself.

OK, let me hit you more.


Yoruba man(Samuel Ajayi crowther) was the first to translate the English Bible to his local language
Yoruba man(Bola Ajala) was the first African to travel round the world with motorbike.
Yoruba man(Olusegun Obasanjo) was first man in Africa to hand over power to civilian govt when he a military head of state
Yoruba man (Moshood Abiola) was the first to singlehandedly assist Confederation of African Football(CAF)
Yoruba woman (Sade Adu) was the first to win Grammy in Nigeria
Yoruba man(Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel)known as SEAL was the first man in Nigeria to Grammy
Yoruba man(Kelvin Olusola) is the first Nigerian to win Grammy in Accapela category in the 57th edition (still hot)
Yoruba man was (Chief Adeyemi Lawson) was the only man in Nigeria, who built Water treatment plant at AGBARA ESTATE.
Yoruba man(Teslim Balogun) known as thunder Balogun was the first Nigerian to play football abroad
Yoruba man (Ayodele Awojobi) was the first Nigerian that built a autonov 1 in 1970s

What is AUTONOV1
Autonov 1 is the name given to the auto mobile
nov elty that was created sometime in the 1970s, by making a once regular motor vehicle engine able to run in both the forward and backward directions, utilizing all four pre-existing gears in whichever direction.
A second steering wheel was introduced at the back, with a central revolving chair to effect the driver's switch-over position.

Purpose of design
Its inventor, the late engineering professor
Ayodele Awojobi , imagined the advantage of the invention in such a situation as when a motor vehicle drives forward into a cul-de-sac and needs to make a fast, backward retreat.
Emergency evacuation procedures or war-time situations exemplify this.

CHECK THE MEANING OF “CUL-DE-SAC"

Do Yoruba really need anybody's patronage? We lead others follow.


Enjoy the history lesson!

@ OP, YOU ARE SAFE , MAN . YORUBAS, GOT YOUR BACK . ENEMIES WILL RUN AND LEAVE THIS THREAD IN DISARRAY..

If this was a thread to celebrate Igbo greatness,shildren of hate from Ibada and osogbo and obomosho will rush in and start screaming "ibo and shest beating" and other curse words

I dont wanna be a kill-joy but Igbo is the most used language in Naija songs/movies today ask around,many use chai,chineke meh without even knowing its igbo,9ice uses Obum na ekwu,kswitch and his brother d'banj sang a full song in Igbo language

Skuki used igbo chorus for their 'e passi go' single ft phyno

Yorubas are lazy. No offence

Op, I really want to know your motive behind this....If it's just to applaud their achievements, then I must commend you....If it's to denigrate other tribes,I'm sorry to say it sounds appalling....Anyways, I'm a proud omo Oodua....
