Drchristian: You are both right and wrong. You are right that she isn't the first Nigerian even (let alone Africa) to speak at Harvard university. And yes, Osinbajo is one of them. Even Nigerian singer "Runtown" has spoken at Harvard However, you are wrong because this is "Class Day Speakers". This is different from even the inaugural lectures where just any leader of government or business experts are invited to speak. This lecture is delivered to graduating students every year. 9 Likes |

99.9% of Africans don't know whether she exists or not.... Nigerians are still celebrating mere fiction writers as if they invented anything worthwhile... The world will begin to respect us when we produce our own Isaac Newton, Faraday, Gauss, etc. 2 Likes 1 Share |

There is a difference between giving a class speech and giving a speech at Harvard during a symposium or whatever. Anybody like osibanjo, indimi and Co can give a speech at Harvard during symposiums. After all, they will end up donating huge sums to harvard. To give a Harvard class speech though is a different matter. It is for men and women of international calibre and impeccable integrity. She is the first african to be accorded that honour. A Testament to her statue. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Harvard University said that she is the first and you are some where at sango hating. I'm sure that if it's up to you, you wouldn't even invite her to your compound meeting to deliver a speech. Ekwensu. Drchristian: 23 Likes |

Drchristian: This is Havard Day Class Speech which is a part of graduation activities. It's synonymous to university convocation lecture in Nigeria. It's a major speech/event. Some other people have delivered different speeches in smaller events in Havard before. 6 Likes 1 Share |
