Remove the fraudulent, fake Emeagwali from that your list, COMPLETELY! He might be respected or a hero according to your value system that encourages fraud, fakes, lies and dishonesty if he is "your son" or "our own" but 99.99% of every other Nigerian and foreigners do not share such silly "respect" for phoney, dishonest people! It might be even an attempt to perpetuate the lie / myth that people from a certain part of the country are "special" when they could even be no more ordinary than anyone else!

3. Chinua Achebe- Made me proud of being igbo..... A confirmed Nwa Afor through and through
4. Soyinka- Bravery going against Nigeria and trying to mediate between nigeria and Biafra
5. Nzeogwu & Fela- status quo challenger, Social crusader.

Re: Who Are Your 5 Most Respected Nigerians ? by livebullet(m): 7:25am On Jul 22, 2013
1.Adams Oshiomole( The fearer of no mortal being. The only man who can take a stand and follow it through to success. A passionate Nigerian with great and charismatic followership-the Mandela and Ghandi of modern day 9jeria.)

2.Dora Akunyili(though she messed up in her senatorial elections-buh her Nafdac achievement will ever be unequaled, she served Nigeria wif her life)

3.My self in advance , cos of my great love for Nigeria...

4. My Child (yet to be born) who is going to be the only president Nigeria ever had. He/she is to be trained on Patriotism, Nation building and Nation advancement, through pervasive industrialization driven by local content and self-sustainability. He/she'll begin the long awaited emancipation of Black Africa. N will put Nigeria on the global map.

5. _ _ _ vacant space.
Re: Who Are Your 5 Most Respected Nigerians ? by yellowman2225(m): 7:41am On Jul 22, 2013
1. Chief Jeremiah obafemi awolowo whose legacies abound arround us till today
2. Dr Olikoye Ransome Kuti who stabilised the nigerian health sector as far as he could despite millitary stereotype bottlenecks
3. Prof Wole Soyinka- great literary icon and first NL in africa who cares less about ethnicity promoting african culture. Was imprisoned for supporting/ mediating for ojukwus biafra even against his own people's belief, greatest critic of nigeria's millitary rule - neither have permanet enemies nor frinds cos he only support what he belief is right ( was under criticism for commenting on PEJ the same woman he supported few months ago.
4. Chief odumegwu ojukwu- the ant (no harm meant here, just a metaphor in terms of d igbos population / resources at their disposal as at the time pls)who fought the whole nigerian elephants, african liöns and the rest of the world for years.
5.charles soludo, aminu kano, bola ige, fela ransome kuti, raji fasola, nuhu ribadu, and someone you might like but she remains öe of my best prof ... Dora akunyili.
Most of the names are dead now which my livin icons are
charles sokudo whose works sanusi is enjoying now
wole soyinka who cares less about criticism
nuhu ribadu who actually is the only northener i respect seconded by the orator babangida aliyu
raji fasola- the only SAN in partisan politics at the level of a governor who is the trail blazer who showed us that governance can be better. So so many governors are surely following his steps as nigeria is learning the china model
prof dora the only wife of akunyili who despite her being lured away by psycophants from NAFDAC into politics still remains my best
Re: Who Are Your 5 Most Respected Nigerians ? by usmolad(m): 8:22am On Jul 22, 2013
chief obafemi awolowo (late), prof wole soyinka, alhaji masaba, fela kuti and j.j. Okocha

tundewoods: Can you list your 5 Most Respected Nigerians,either Living or Late. It was a bid difficult at arriving at my own 5 most respected Nigerians.

1. Pastor Enoch Adeboye - For his Humility and Vision

2. Gideon Orkar (late) - For his daring effort to change the system

3. Philip Emeagwali - For his feat in terms of inventing Super Computers

4. Tom Iseghohi - For his excellence in Corporate Leadership

5. Aliko Dangote - For his excellence in business drive.


Who are you own 5 Most respected Nigerians ??

You see the kind of thinking we have here?
"Islamic rule can NEVER be democratic".
You forget that any rule which the majority endorse is democratic.

I'm reading a news piece right now in which an Arabic school in Brooklyn New York, the USA is being clamped down on. So can Christian rule EVER be democratic?



And you will not be able to open your mouth and say anybody enslaved more Nigerians than the British by the time you realise that close to 30% slave cargo of the British perished en route. Then about quarter of the rest were killed in slave farms during "breaking".

The Northern Nigerians had a written history for centuries. If Uthman had enslaved 15 million slaves, it would have been recorded somewhere.

Or at least even in oral tradition.

If you compare the population of slave descendants in Arabia to those in the Americas, you will realise the fallacy in your claim.



President Azikiwe struck a deal to unite Nigeria. Ehen? Are you trying to pass that off as a bad thing? If "Zik" had his way, he'd strike a deal to unite the whole of Africa!


Please tell me, are you saying that Mallam Aminu Kano's "masters" ordered him to sell all his belongings and live the rest of his life in penury trying to educate the talakawa and almajirai? Let me make it clear that I'm not one of those people that you will come and sell mystical stories about Northern Nigeria because I was born there and I lived the first half of my life there.


So how come Pat Utomi, Jaja of Opobo and Nana of Itsekiri have done no wrong.

Why don't you remind me that Pat Utomi made Volkswagen collapse, Jaja was a rude slave and Nana was a monopolist.



I use God beg you, these are my own chosen. The topic did not say "who are THE most respected, " it asked for personal opinion and I gave mine. So TEACHER, DON'T TEACH ME NONSENSE!!!

Thank u brother,I think u have a point there
