Sodiqsoda:We use to recite a poem in secondarily school back in the 90s. "A young scotish doctor whose name was Mongo Park. He was sent by the Niger company to find the end of Niger but died at Bussa". So he actually died on his way to discovering the end of the Niger river. |

For once, I salute prof. For this. This is a mental liberation for us as blacks who believe anything done by whites is superior even when it is a daily routine for the black man. So much awe and surprise is accorded to a white mans actions in Africa. The truth is, we would have developed indigenous technology if Nigeria and Africa was never colonised. We wouldn't have depended so much on oil as we do currently if we were allowed to grow at our pace. They colonialist only succeeded in exploiting our natural resources, chaining us and still keeping us in chains long after they were gone. We need to go back in time, pick up our common senses where we left it in history and begin to support our indigenous technologists, scientist and experts. 2 Likes |

There is a big difference between invent and discover. One discovers what was already in existence, used by few but not known to many. Who ever make it known to all is given the honour. E.g Insulin was already named before it was discovered by Bantting and Best in 1922. Park did not invent River Niger, he discovered it because as at that time, the said river was not known to many. 1 Like 1 Share |

transformed:Are you for real? Do Nigerians need Prof Osinbajo to tell them that Mungo Park did not discover River Niger? Who does not know? Even primary school history teachers have been refuting the earlier assertion that Mungo Park discovered the Niger before Osinbanjo finished secondary school. What do you call a so-called professor of law and pastor who can only comment on a unimportant issue despite the myriads of problems bedeviling an administration in which he should have taken a front row? |
