He is the only NBA player to win NBA Most valuable player six times and he's among the greatest NBA players of all time behind Micheal Jordan, Bill Russell and Magic Johnson respectively.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Jr.; April 16, 1947) is an American retired professional basketball player who played 20 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. During his career as a center, Abdul-Jabbar was a record six-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), a record 19-time NBA All-Star, a 15-time All-NBA selection, and an 11-time NBA All-Defensive Team member. A member of six NBA championship teams as a player and two as an assistant coach, Abdul-Jabbar twice was voted NBA Finals MVP. In 1996, he was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. NBA coach Pat Riley and players Isiah Thomas and Julius Erving have called him the greatest basketball player of all time.[1][2][3][4][5]

After winning 71 consecutive basketball games on his high school team in New York City, Lew Alcindor attended college at UCLA, where he played on three consecutive national championship basketball teams and was a record three-time MVP of the NCAA Tournament.[6] Drafted by the one-season-old Bucks franchise in the 1969 NBA draft with the first overall pick, Alcindor spent six seasons in Milwaukee. After winning his first NBA championship in 1971, he adopted the Muslim name Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at age 24. Using his trademark "skyhook" shot, he established himself as one of the league's top scorers. In 1975, he was traded to the Lakers, with whom he played the last 14 seasons of his career and won five NBA championships. Abdul-Jabbar's contributions were a key component in the "Showtime" era of Lakers basketball. Over his 20-year NBA career his team succeeded in making the playoffs 18 times and past the 1st round in 14 of them; his team reached the NBA Finals 10 times.

At the time of his retirement in 1989, Abdul-Jabbar was the NBA's all-time leader in points scored (38,387), games played (1,560), minutes played (57,446), field goals made (15,837), field goal attempts (28,307), blocked shots (3,189), defensive rebounds (9,394), and personal fouls (4,657). He remains the all-time leading scorer in the NBA, and is ranked 3rd all-time in both rebounds and blocks. In 2007 ESPN voted him the greatest center of all time,[7] and in 2008 they named him the "greatest player in college basketball history."[8] Abdul-Jabbar has also been an actor, a basketball coach, and a best-selling author.[9][10] In 2012, he was selected by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be a U.S. global cultural ambassador.[11]

I had previously mentioned that for This country to industrialize ,it must look to the east..i was partially right!

For This country to industrialize,it MUST look to not just the EAST but also the WEST.

God punish the People (and their linages) who have continued to Play our ethnic differences against us.

If we have leaders who understand the strenght in our differences,This country would be at the top calling the shots with the US,china ,the UK and Japan.

Take a look at People who have placed This country on the World map for positive things and you see an equal Mix of yorubas and igbos. Fact! (even in negative things,both tribes contribute equally grin)

I believe that we must look to the east if we must build our manufacturing sector BUT we must also look to the west for administrative skills to grow those companies...
a Perfect combination if you ask me!

Below are the list of Banks Chairmen and the region they hail from. This should put an end to the fact that the South East are not the most prosperous region in Nigeria.

Honestly there are many Igbos with outstanding talent backed with excellent achievement that the Nigerian state will forever be proud of...however other tribes are equally blessed with exceptional individuals, especially the Yorubas.

Igbos supporting Biafra have been promoting ethnic superiority, distorting history and falsifying the present. They have told us all manners of lies that we need to start debunking many of them with facts, because
Future historians may depend on the Internet for facts.
