Nojim Maiyegun, a former Nigerian Middleweight boxer and champion and also Nigeria`s first Olympic medallist, was born in February 21, 1944 in Lagos. He won the bronze medal in the men`s Light Middleweight (71 kg) category at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, becoming Nigeria`s first Olympic medalist.
Maiyegun, famously called Omo Oloja by fans, has spent more than half of his life in Austria where he had decided to settle since 1971 in order to attract more international fights.
1964 Tokyo Olympics where he won Nigeria's first Olympic medal
Besides winning the Olympic medal, he won a bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Kinston, Jamaica in 1966 and a few more medals which included an African Championship gold and a medal from the 1960 Independence celebration tournament.
Maiyegun’s dream of winning a world title was cut short by blindness.
He had to take up menial jobs to survive after his boxing career ended in Austria. He was employed as a street cleaner and janitor but had to be accompanied to carry out his duties. He worked for 28 years before retiring.
According to him, “I’m not sure what could have caused the blindness but doctors thought it could have been from punches on the head. It started partially, and at a point I had to fight a world championship title bout with the sight problem. I lost the fight on decision but it is on record that I am the first blind boxer to fight for a title. I could see with one eye then.”
Maiyegun is also on record to be the first completely blind man in Austria to climb a mountain 1,700 metres high and jump with a parachute.
His wife, whom he married in 1962 and their three children live in London.

First Professor of Psychiatry in Africa.



Thomas Adeoye Lambo (March 29, 1923 – March 13, 2004) was a Nigerian scholar, administrator and psychiatrist. He is credited as the first western trained psychiatrist in Nigeria and Africa. Between 1971 and 1988, he worked at the World Health Organization, becoming the agency's Deputy Director General.
Early life
Lambo was born in Abeokuta , Ogun State. He attended the famous Baptist Boys High School , Abeokuta from 1935 to 1940. He then proceeded to the University of Birmingham , where he studied medicine. To further his studies and become specialized, in 1952, he enrolled at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. Adeoye Lambo in due time became famous for his work in ethno-psychiatry and psychiatric
epidemiology .
Career
In 1954, after studying and working as a surgeon in Britain , Dr Lambo returned to Nigeria where he was soon made the specialist in charge at the newly built Aro psychiatric hospital, Abeokuta. By then, Nigeria was undergoing a transition towards political independence which had hastened a culture of innovation and change instead of a period of feared stagnation or even regression. Prior to the independence movement, the Federal Government had tried to replicate the European system of creating asylums in the cities for lunatics and mentally ill individuals who were regarded as a social nuisance in the streets of many
urban areas. The need to put the social anomalous individuals under control, sometimes care and confinement was initiated and a few asylums including one at
Yaba were built. However, the institutionalization of mental health was viewed with suspicion by many Nigerians and many still depended on native medicines and
herbalists for care. Adeoye Lambo sensing a ground for development, used the opportunity of an independent regional government to start his own out-patient treatment services, the Aro village, pioneering the use of modern curative techniques combined with traditional religion and native medicines. Adeoye, while at Aro, sought the help of farmers near the asylum to take some of the patients as laborers, while they simultaneously underwent medical treatment, and the patients also paid for any extra services required, such as housing. He traveled around the country and brought in a few traditional healers from different parts of Nigeria as practitioners. His style helped relieve public mistrust of mental health
hospitals and introduced to public discourse the care and treatment of mentally ill citizens. He is credited as providing a platform for re-integrating mentally ill patients into a normal setting and environment and to a certain extent shedding at least some of the stigma associated with those suffering from mental illness.

First professor of civil engineering in Nigeria.


Ifedayo Olawole Oladapo , OON, NNOM, (24 November 1932 - 6 March 2010) was a Nigerian academic and professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Lagos
Early life
Ifedayo was born in Ondo City and had his early education at Government College, Ibadan. He attended the University College Ibadan in 1954 and afterwards earned a BSc in Civil engineering from the University of St. Andrews, graduating with First Class honours in 1959. He earned a PhD. in Structural engineering from the University of Cambridge in 1962
Career
He joined the former Ostenfeld and Jonson now Cowi Consult and gained practical experience as a Design Engineer. After returning to Nigeria in 1963 to start an academic career, he was active in the design and construction of many concrete structures in Lagos, including the concrete shell roof, Eko Bridge , and Third Mainland Bridge . He also played key roles in the construction of the Benue River Bridge and Niger Bridge in Onitsha. In 1982, he became the first Vice Chancellor of the Ondo State University , holding the position for a period of eight years, after which he commenced work at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria as lecturer in the department of Civil Engineering between 1963 and 1964, before moving over to University of Lagos. At University of Lagos, he became a Senior Lecturer and subsequently Associate Professor in 1970, Dean of Engineering Faculty. In 1971, He served as the Deputy Vice- Chancellor of the University between 1977 and 1979. During this periood, he designed the first set of 32 buildings which were constructed on the University campus at minimum costs during a period of austerity and worldwide economic recession. He has been recognized for his significant contributions to knowledge in his area of specialization, namely structural concrete. His early research work in this field dealt with the properties of prestressed concrete at different rates of loading. His research work focused on determination of the properties of concrete, the movement –curvature relationships and the ultimate loads of concrete structures. All of this led him to the formulation of the plastic design theory for reinforced concrete structures which eventually resulted in the “limits state design method for structural concrete”. These academic achievements resulted in being invited to participate actively in the design and construction of some major concretes structures in the country including the Eko Bridge, Third Mainland Bridge . He also made significant contribution to different aspects of the building code which was launched in Nigeria in 1970. His proposal for modification (replacement of the British code way of practice) were accepted by the standards organization of Nigeria and formed the basis of the first “Nigeria Code of practice for structural concrete in Nigeria”. which was published in 1973. [1]

A Nigerian Is The 21 Smartest Tenager In The World Among The 50 Listed

Saheela Ibraheem, 16, New Jersey, USA
At just 15 years old, Saheela Ibraheem was accepted into Harvard University, which makes her among the youngest students ever to attend that school.
But that’s not the most impressive part, Saheela was accepted at 12 other colleges, including MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, Princeton, Columbia, and the University of Chicago.
In the end, Saheela chose Harvard, based on her seven-year-old brother’s advice. (Hint: He wants to attend Harvard, someday.)
Saheela’s Nigerian parents, totally supportive of the young scholar, sometimes taught her subjects the schools didn’t offer. Saheela believes the key to success is knowing what you love to learn as early as possible, a knowledge she says she came to at age five.
“If you are passionate about what you do, and I am passionate about many things, especially math and science, it will work out well.” The teen is also interested in languages, and knows Yoruba, Arabic, Spanish, and Latin, in addition to English.
On the lighter side, Saheela plays softball, soccer, and the trombone. She also sings in the school choir and serves as president of the school’s investment club.
She has a SAT score of 2,340 SAT (a perfect 800 on the math section, a 790 in writing and a 750 in reading). Saheela plans to major in either neurobiology or neuroscience, and hopes to become a scientist in order to study how the brain works.
As for her own brain, Saheela claims she is nothing special. “I try my best in everything I do,” Saheela said. “Anyone who’s motivated can work wonders.”

.This is excerpt from a study conducted by Columbia University USA. Read and digest.





1854 = = S. W. Koelle, German missionary,
published Polyglotta Africana, with a vocabulary
gathered from liberated slaves in Sierra Leone.
Contained some 300 Igbo words representing five
dialects: Isoama, Isiele, Agbaja, Aro, Mbofia (Oraka
p. 23).
1856 == Crowther and Jonas stayed together in
Lagos, where Jonas taught his master Igbo (Oraka
p. 24).
1857 == Crowther produced the first book in Igbo,
with Jonas's help. Isoama-Ibo Primer has 17
pages, with the Igbo alphabet, words, phrases,
sentence patterns, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten
Commandments, and translations of the first
chapters of Matthew's Gospel. Thus Crowther
became the first to use the Lepsius "Standard
Alphabet" (Oraka p. 25).
1857 == Dr. William Baikie's ship berthed at
Onitsha. On board were Crowther and his
missionary team, including Igbo speakers Simon
Jonas and Rev. J. C. Taylor. Crowther established a
mission and left it in Taylor's hands. In less than a
week Taylor had opened a school for young girls.
Isoama-Ibo Primer served as their textbook (Oraka
p. 25).
1861 == J. F. Schon apparently resumed Igbo
studies, publishing his Oku Ibo: Grammatical
Elements of the Ibo Language , written in the
Isuama dialect, using Lepsius orthography (Oraka
p. 26).
1870 == CMS in London used Lepsius
orthography to publish An Ibo Primer, by F. W.
Smart, a catechist posted in 1868 to the first
outpost Christian Station in Niger Delta. Crowther,
first Bishop of the Niger, posted him there with W.
E. L. Carew. In the 1870s Smart and Carew each
published an Igbo Primer and carried out translation
works on church liturgy (Oraka pp. 25-26).
1880s == Crowther thought his Niger Mission was
collapsing, since the Igbo dialect he chose was not
a "living" dialect spoken by a particular group of
the Igbo. The CMS realized its mistakes and
decided to give up its effort to use one dialect only
(Oraka p. 27).
1882 == Crowther wrote Vocabulary of the Ibo
Language , the first comprehensive dictionary in
Igbo. In 1883 Crowther and Schon jointly revised it
and added more words. They finally came out with
Vocabulary of the Ibo Language, Part II , an
English-Ibo dictionary. By this time, Igbo had had
some 50 books and booklets published in it (Oraka
p. 27).

For better understanding.
Olauda was already writing in Igbo almost century before Crowther came to Igboland.

Taylor had already published in Igbo too.

So also that of those who had the same result.

This is a claim by someone who had no historical knowledge of his homeland telling scholars they are wrong. Typical Igbo attitude.

It's a pity he fell for Yoruba propaganda, and even worst that the Columbia University copied his flawed work.

I had already posted pages of history of Igbo language as Ndiigbo know it.

Oraka or Yorubas will not tell us our history.

Crowther wrote Yoruba language, that is what he would be remembered for.
When you think Igbo language, you think Equaino, Simon Jonas, Taylor, schon.

It's a bit pathetic of Yorubas forcing themselves into Igbo language history. When Equaino was writing in Igbo, Crowther was not yet an adult.

History as Igbo knows it and that is all you are presenting, thanks for documentation, where you guys were running unclad, Yoruba man put.together your orthography but now that we have given you education, typical arrogance of Igbo man has set in, next thing you will hear now, is that Igbo taught us our language.

Complex at it's zenith, Deal with it, Yoruba man did your language orthography whether you accept or not, history cannot be changed and stop throwing all those lame excuses and weak rebuttals at it.

It was an Igbo man and an ivy league university that recorded the history, you that did not even take history in secondary school is pontificating saying Oraka an Igbo man old enough to be your great grand father is a liar.

GoldNiagara:



Now Equiano has been introduced, Schon, it could be anybody but not a yoruba man. where is this history book as igbo know it, history written by whom? once your fibs are bursted again, you will come with another narrative.

History as Igbo knows it and that is all you are presenting, thanks for documentation, where you guys were running unclad, Yoruba man put.together your orthography but now that we have given you education, typical arrogance of Igbo man has set in, next thing you will hear now, is that Igbo taught us our language. After all you guys are Jews.


Is it not you again, did you not say Awolowo and fajuyi were the ones who are the masterminds of the first coup in Nigeria. I don't take you seriously really.

Yes, we thank God for documentation, and documentation shows us that Crowther was a late comer in the history of Isuama Igbo (Which was even later abandoned for lack of Igbowide understanding), and couldn't have been the one to provide the orthography.

Equaino, Schon, Taylor, Jonas, where all there before him.

That's the documentation we have. And I can post severely research works to prove this.

He is not a liar, just misguided and probably swallowed and assimilated too much of Ibadan-Lagos print propaganda, there are still Igbos like that today.
