Emma Ifeajuna,hmmm.A great athlete.The first athlete to jump 13.5 inches above his height.According to online sources his jump of 6.8 inches could have won an Olympic Silver Medal 2 years earlier in 1952.

spicyuzo:
I am pleased to meet you sir.....

Pls pray not to meet him now o

not for Indomie and digital generation oooo

xender:
waw this guy ...

Lol u know him ?

ok

Deolaw:
I disagree with you. From the drawing we can see it is about Olympics and the trophy is well placed beside the man doing a high jump. It cannot be the man you just stated.

I think it is a drawing of any typical athlete. He is not tagged as anyone and face is not concentrated on.

If you are so sure then give a good source to back it up

Seconded

Remembered this note book when I was in primary school.. Olympic and Oxford exercise book were the best

that's nice

Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna (1935–25 September 1967) was a Nigerian army major and high jumper. He was the first Black African to win a gold medal at an international sports event when he won at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. His winning mark and personal best of 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) was a games record and a British Empire record at the time.

did buhari kill him?

Harbioollah:
one of the participants of the First coup. I got to know more about him after reading "How we Struck" by a fellow coup plotter, Wale Ademoyega.

A dynamic man, going by what i have read about him. He even joined Biafran side during the Biafra war, where he was finally killed. By who?

Your guess is as good as mine, OJUKWU

You forgot to mention he was stripped of his medal by Britain for participating in the war with Biafra and the reason why he was executed. Always give details

femi4:
Seconded

thirded, we wan a prove

Better education then....

Are Nigerians this s.tupid? How is that drawing a likeness of anyone? I could as well claim it's me on the cover of that book. Jesus!!!

his my ma child hood friend

Tolexander:
I dey wonder who brought out the info that Ifeajuna's picture is on the exercise book.

I don't believe the picture is his!

Yes, the foto is Ifeajuna.
I read about it before in Tatalo Alamus column in The nation on Sundays.
And if Tatalo Alamu writes it, it is the truth.

He just gve you details and you are still arguing. Na wa O. Do your own research and see for yourself. He is also right too. As you can see he was the one being depicted and doesn't need to be tagged or his face concentrated on, they have given enough details for anyone that reasons to understand. Why didn't they put the medal close to a runner afterall race is more acknowledged than any other sport during competitions?

He also masterminded the coup that ousted the government of Tafawa Balewa along with Kaduna Nzeogwu.

R.I.P to them.

Nice revelation @ ruggedtimi thanks for this.

I just wan patronize you
