Nigerian man, Yemi, selected by Japanese Billionaire Yusaku Maezawa for a trip to the moon

Czech choreographer, Yemi Akinyemi Dele, 41, will be among the eight crew members to join Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa’s crew on a trip around the Moon next year on one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets.

Four years after announcing that he’d lead an around-the-moon mission aboard SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has named the eight people he wants to fly with him.

In 2018, Maezawa said he’d fund a mission aimed at letting creative artists on the level of the late Pablo Picasso or Michael Jackson experience a trip beyond Earth orbit. Some of the people he’s picked are making use of creative channels that didn’t exist when Picasso was in his prime.

The eight crew members — and two alternates — were chosen out of more than a million people from 249 countries and regions who registered their interest via Maezawa’s DearMoon website.

Simply known as Yemi AD, the Czech-born Nigerian artiste, Yemi Akinyemi Dele started off as a dancer, choreographer but later moved behind the scene to work with top artistes and global brands, including Grammy Award winner, Kanye West. Yemi AD’s father is Nigerian but he grew up with his mother in the Czech Republic.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is definitely proud of you!

Awesome news...

Make una go come in one piece.

All the best. Go n come back in peace n not in pieces.

New frontiers are usually exciting because they are rare and exclusive. A time will come when space tourism will be like taking a normal flight. It is the billionaires club for now, let them enjoy it. By 2030, I'm going to space, one way or another.

Congrats.

I am going to be honest with you, in my own humble opinion without being sentimental of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter from a distinctive perspective, I would like to say I have nothing to say

God bless only yorubas
other tribes can go to hell

Please let's support his excellency Mr Peter obi for the president of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

KARE OMOLUABI

Name checkers over to you

He is Nigerian only by name and half of his genes. Something is wrong with us. I doubt he’d claim Nigerian heritage when asked by the media.

He can stay there, what has he contributed in his village.

Naija is great. The whole world would begin to realise this the more, from next year. Vote wisely.

By the way, Nigerians are far behind other nationals of great nations in searching for new ideas. They prefer abusing their forefathers on nairaland with their time and data . I doubt many knew about this registration when it was thrown open. I posted useful pieces of information recently on how one could easily make it in life and become totally independent, all for free but only a few read about it. Here's the link...

Another point to ponder on is Nigerian youths lack of interest in reading. Their reading habit is so shallow . I cited an example of myself, my uncle who is now a multi billionaire by reading a magazine in which xantrex engineering was advertised while in America on his way home from work one day and he later became their distributor. When some say they're looking for jobs or are not getting their bearings right I'd just read their comment and waka pass. When Buhari said our youths were lazy, I partially agreed. In 2018 on my way to US, I had a stop in DXB. When the boarding of our A380 flight was announced, I saw this skinning girl who approached me and asked that I take a picture of her, using her phone. From her accent I knew she's Nigerian. I asked her just to confirm and she said yes, she's from oshogbo, a 17 year old model. She said she's coming from Johannesburg, going to Paris for modelling, she had a stop too in dxb. Guess how she got to know about this foreign modelling opportunity? It was from a foreign modelling magazine. She applied and was selected and she embarked on her first trip ever overseas at age 16. She's been active in it since then. The modelling company came to Nigeria to meet with her parents after she was selected. Only a few applied from Nigeria. There was a scholarship which my neighbour also won on nursing. She went to school in America. She's now married and earning big.

I had a friend who applied to Total Energies Startupper challenge for young SMEs. He won the Best Business Creation Project, a few years ago in Paris and was awarded over 16m naira in euro equivalent to boost his start up business. Our youths need to change their mentality. Who says you can't make it? Just change your mentality and see yourself succeed. Stop wasting your data on frivolities. Time is precious.
