1982 First Nigerian Woman Pilot: Mrs. Chinyere Onyemaucheya

afam4eva: Isn't it possible that one of the few people that had cars then allowed their wives to drive a car inside their compound without seeing it as an acheivement.

quite possible not to be biased I can not rule out that,,but in reality how many men had cars back then ? in 1982 ?

[quote author=ndu_chucks]This woman was known as the First Nigerian woman to drive a car and also the First Nigerian woman to ride a motorcycle. The number of cars and motorcycles present in Nigeria and their locations were known to the authorities, hence no one has been able to dispute the claim.

People will soon turn this into another tribal war. SMH[/quote]You have said it all !!!

Yawns Ayam

@ OP

Yes she was because we only had few cars back then in Nigeria and we could even count it, it was that bad

Thus those that said so could not have been wrong.

karl max: If was achieved by fashola the page for don full!some winches are out again to say it has notting to do with GEJ but they are quick to blame him for the problems he inherited.... I guess when we start having constant power which I knw we would achieve soon based on what I have personally seen on ground the winches will still say gej has nothing to do with it this is a project that was abandoned...and was revived and completed by this administration and yet it has nothing to do with the administration thank God he has helped people like me that travel by road frequently and use the lagos-ore express road by fixing that road that was abandoned for years like this project!!

pure inferiority complex you display my brother.

Now this goons are compering A GOVERNOR OF A SMALLEST STATE OF THE NATION TO THERE PRESIDENT.

Na wa o !!!

Beaf: I don't discuss with fools. Thank you.

you are only deceiving yourself and your gullible followers

GEJ got nothing to do with this, a project that was started by Yara'dua is being credited to GEJ

Same with the buses, guy go hang

A project that started way before GEJ, Beaf this got nothing to do with GEJ but the Navy.

Na wa for propaganda

congrats Nigeria Navy

Opoki: I'm sure there wouldn't be much comment and media (Western Media) will not broadcast it but we would have seen many comments/headlines on both local and intl tv stations hadn't been the news is about suicide bombing, kidnapping, NURTW clash, drug baron busted and d like.
Its high time we shun Tribalism. We all are Nigerians Whether we like it or not untill d country ceased to exist!

thanks you, we are indeed proud of him

diesel86: Its intresting to note that this feat is being seen to have been achieved by a nigerian, not by a particular ethicity. I hope we all start appreciating that the outside world would always tag our activities either good or bad to have been achieved by a nigerian, not igbo,hausa,yoruba e.t.c.

I concur

Honeyhill: @harem.......if ACN listens to d people Y ve d not heard lagos doctors up till nw..........

bleep ACN, the only thing I like about ACN is Fashola and Oshomiole the rest are no different to PDP to me.

Now if meant to say Fashola, if so then I would say AT LEAST HE HEARD and responded unlike those that don't respond so they don't look weak.

Being brave/strong leader is not by turn deaf ears to the people you rule, it is about listening and the ability to learn and adjust to situations (how they present themselves.

To show effective leadership, you listen and learn from you people. You might prove stubborn but if your people are unwilling then try to see things from their point of view. That is effective leadership my brother of which Fashola just demonstrated.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Aren't you just stupid?

You're the same simpleton who statistically stated that Lagos is 70% igbo, so according to your dyslectic reasoning, then the chances that those chics/men are Igbos is higher than them being Yorubas.

Now UniLag is a Yoruba institute? This is now a Yoruba protest? Cowards. . . .[/quote] they are confused

tribalism indeed affects the brain at times

PeterKbaba: thats not for you

Ok I see

Honeyhill: If na PDP sack doctors....ACN for d blast PDP.....buh nw see wat ACN is doing in lagos state.....dat means if d are given maybe d presidency.....ACN would do worse dan PDP........it seems to me dat ACN tif pass PDP...na just opptunity dem neva get....

But ACN listen to the people, have PDP listen to the people ? Yes or No

da.ft argument my brother

PeterKbaba: Another loyal slave in disguise

Me never !!!

I don't stress myself with politics that much, all I do is say my mind, have funny and go to bed/work etc

My brother life is too short to get worried about anyone or politicians. I alj harem know that to get worried

PeterKbaba: Thank you my brother... I guess you read all I wrote, why is beaf pretending and asking irrelevant questions to run away from all I've said, most igbos are not talking cos that are beginning to realize the truth or maybe them dey sleep

No problem, some are realising it, some have realised it since, those that are about it realise are using PRIDE to accept that what GEJ did is wrong and there is a need to elect a Nigerian leader.

Other(minorities among them) are just loving the idea of yorubas and hausas not being happy. To each his own

Beaf: Some ignored people are feeling the effects of very rightly being called fools.

don't mind them jare

carryon doing you JOB

PeterKbaba: Then he most be a loyal igbo slave in chains as I presume him to be, enslaving his fellow people out of greed and corruption.

Well na e wahala be that

All I know is he is NOT a Northerner he can never be a northerner, he is too bigoted for that.

Now I am not sure if he is Igbo or not, but Igbos love him so your guess is as good as mine.

As for me, I know he hates Hausas with all his life even more than corrupt politicans

He also hates yorubas with his guts more than his reasoning

He claims to be a mid-westerner that wants to join Baifra. ( I don't know how that matches) but that is what he said.

Goodluck engaging with him intellectually but a bigot like him can never be Yoruba, Edo, Hausa or Fulani

Thanks

PeterKbaba, I know it is amazing that some Igbos think like Beaf does but I can assure you that Beaf IS NOT HAUSA nor a Northerner. Please go read his post before commenting thanks.

Beaf is not also a Westerner.

C'mon don't be like that, you know exactly what I mean

It is good so they just don't think ACN is attack GEJ. The myth has been broken

Let the people speak for themselves

Tropilo: You must really hate the ethnic group you are suspecting.
I thought you had some form of maturity. Its a pity!

what does this got to do with hate ??

Beaf: GEJ can do anything he likes with the name. Unilag belongs to the FG.
So long as the name is responsible, it is fine. FG has named FG property.
Otan ni.

Can you shut up already, you talk like an ideeiot and we keep correcting you but you chose not to learn.

GEJ and NO MAN can do what he likes on a government institute in a democratic ruling. We are correcting you and you still chose to display your ignorance.

The fact remains he did not follow the rule of law before doing such. The FG is not ONLY the executive

My brother make we relax and enjoy the show

baboon they work monkey dey chop

One day Baboon go vex kill monkey. fact

LOL Make I join you laff na

coogar: you really agree with the don on this?

what difference does it make? unilag, maulag or malulag?
the university is owned by the federal government...the vice chancellor
was appointed by the federal government. the federal government pays the
salaries of the staff.....are you saying they cannot name their own establishment
any name they so wish?

if you build a house and rent it to tenants, you need their blessings to paint it?
gate it? put a borehole or whatever? i just believe nigerians have their priorities
misplaced. does the change of name devalue the certificate? does it increase the fees
paid by the students? jonathan is indeed a mumu. if i were the president, i would have
deployed a thousand s.w.a.t. teams to make those unruly tools some target practice.

did it follow due process, Yes or No !

PapaBrowne: Absolutely brilliant! Made his case without desecrating the legacies of MKO. Very unlike what many others have done.

Papabroweeee !!! Stop lying this is the same bloody thing I explain to you in the previous thread or did I not ?

So stop pretending here

The same people that say SW constitute 60-70 % Igbos are the same people hounding tribal rant

If Fashola does not contest then Roachas is there if not then I would vote GEJ since likes of Tinubu, Atiku and peter Obi would just waste there time contesting

Na wa o
