My award goes out to those Africans that believed so much in the Nigerian experiment that they offered or attempted to offer their lives for it. 1. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi: He believed so much in the sincerity of people that he put his life on the line for his friend, Aguiyi Ironsi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adekunle_Fajuyi 2. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi 3. Alh. Tafawa Balewa 4. Bishop Ajayi Crowther 5. Cardinal Arinze 1 Like |

@Seun I have said it before and I'll say it again, Aliko Dangote to Nigeria is looking like what J.P Morgan (and maybe J. Rockefella) was to the US in the early 1900s. |

Jonathan Goodluck (A good politician from the south whose humility has ensured he remains on course to be president of nigeria sooner or later) 4. Aminu Kano (A selfless political leader who died a poor man when he had the chance to be as rich as he wanted to be) 5. Pat Utomi (Intelligent, hardworking man) 1 Like |
