spade: I consciously listed those who are still alive. If I were to add those who have gone to join our ancestors, then the list will have people like, Nnamdi Azikiwe Nwafor Orizu (Nigeria's 1st senate presido) Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu (1st African multi millionaire) Chike Obi Kenneth Dike (1st Nigerian VC of a university UI) Ben Enweonwu Pius Okigbo Chuba Okadigbo Jerome Udoji Cyprian Ekwensi Osita Osadebe Oliver de Coque Augustine Ilodibe (Ekene DiliChukwu) Samuel Okoye etc With all due respect, I doubt if any other state in Nigeria can match Anambra state in terms of human resources. Ogun state may compete though. 1 Like 1 Share |
