These nationalists include Awolowo, Azikiwe, Tafawa Belewa, Bello, Eyo Ita, among others. I want to know which of these politicians had most "the first..." in our history. Pls, no tribalistic comment needed. Pls, the moderator should put this in the front page so that I could get adquate response. Thanks.

Pls, this is very important to my thesis. I need professional & honest response. If possible, include your sources.
