Before Christopher Columbus discovered America, were people not living there already

Linus at it again,so this your argument will make Naija better abi? Abeg go and sit down.

Obijulius:
Now look at this idiot and tell me why our economy will not fail.

Of all things to worry about this is the most pressing issue on this man’s mind. Trump is fighting for Christians in Nigeria while a pastor VP is having sleepless night over who discovered River Niger.

If anyone still thinks this man is sane please check yourself too.

A lot of unintelligent and lazy youth across the bridge...atimes when one attack Buhari, and you read comments from some youths across the ailes you are ashamed of the group you seem to queue with. Osinbajo's speech today is one of the greatest by any black man, not just Nigerian. Deep and insightful.

Blackfire:
Even mungo park is not spared APC misplacement of priority.


If this topic made Front page i will personally slap a DPO in his office today.

because the white documented it and gave it to us to digest it?

AnonyNymous:

Will native Americans say Christopher Columbus discovered their land?

"People were already fishing on it"

Did they know the name of the river?

All along the course of the river in
West Africa, ppl gave this same river
different names like Nigré, Kora,( bastardized to Kwara), Igbo & delta communities called it
different names etc, without knowing it was the same river.

It was oyibo that discovered its source & exit.

Vice President , Prof Yemi Osinbajo has declared that it is total rubbish to attribute the discovery of River Niger to Mungo Park.

Osinbajo said people were already fishing in River Niger before Park’s grand father was born.

He made this comment on Tuesday at the ongoing programmed tagged The Platform.

Osinbajo, who harped on the need for Nigerians to promote their own, noted that there are many young persons from this country who have contributed intellectually to the growth of the nation.

“I tell you, it is total rubbish to say Mungo Park discovered RiverNiger. We all know that people where fishing in the River beforeMungo Park’s grandfather was born.

“This calls for the need for us to promote our own,” he said.

According to the vice president, “our business as government is to create more enabling environment for entrepreneurs to do business and create more infrastructure.

“We have to provide more jobs as more people are added to the population everyday.

“Today we are confronted with the remnants of Boko Haram with farmers/herdsmen clashes and ethno-religious conflicts,’’ he said.

Osinbajo recalled that when oil was selling for 100 to 142 dollars per barrel, the budget of Transport and Agriculture Ministries; all the ministries together got 139 billion.

“Today with oil prices between 60 and 70 dollars per barrel, the Power, Works and Housing, Agriculture and Transport Ministries got N560 billion.

“How come we can do more with less income?

“How come we are able to invest in infrastructure. How come we can do the Lagos-Kano standard rail gauge; the Second NgerBridge, with 60 per cent less income than we earned a few years ago,” he asked.

“The job of the builder is not to complain. I believe the solution is in building that Nigerian bridge.

“A bridge that will be built on the strongest materials of all and to excel in our commitment to build a new society.

“A bridge that connects us across tribes; across ethnicity; across dialects; a bridge that connects us across religion; across politics; and across even generations.

“Everyone of us can travel on this bridge. A bridge that rises from innovation and traditions and stands the troubled waters of our past.

“A bridge that can take the traffic of all our best Nigerians and creativity; and human and materials to the destination of our dream.”

Biety:
The great man of God delivered a wonderful message yesterday at the platform.
God bless osinbajo.
But I can see the comments of some people here whose parents haven't achieved any meaningful thing in life abusing prof Osinbajo.
If you did attend the platform yesterday or watched it on TV and didn't enjoy Osinbajo' speech then you are a mischievous person.
I was there and I liked what I saw and heard from all the speakers.

See this mumu! What is happening to Christians that is not happening to other people? You people are the problem of this country and that is the reason we will not move forward.

Liverpoolfc:
There is a big difference between invent and discover. One discovers what was already in existence, used by few but not known to many. Who ever make it known to all is given the honour. E.g Insulin was already named before it was discovered by Bantting and Best in 1922. Park did not invent River Niger, he discovered it because as at that time, the said river was not known to many.

maestroferddi:
Are you for real?

Do Nigerians need Prof Osinbajo to tell them that Mungo Park did not discover River Niger? Who does not know?

Even primary school history teachers have been refuting the earlier assertion that Mungo Park discovered the Niger before Osinbanjo finished secondary school.

What do you call a so-called professor of law and pastor who can only comment on a unimportant issue despite the myriads of problems bedeviling an administration in which he should have taken a front row?
