I clap for you just like you read my mind.

Useless people.

redsun: Most of the greatest icons of nigeria are yorubas.The Kutis,The Ganis,The Solarins,and ofcourse Wole who at the moment is a little bit controvercial in ways that kind of makes one wonder what is going on.

Amaechi is probably a morally depleted sea dog,hence Soyinka's interest.No same person should take side with any front line nigerian politician at the moment.

You sound very triabalistic. What about Zik?

The mai-suya near my house
The mai-taba in front of my office
The mai-ruwa in my area in Wuse two, abuja
The mai-kasuwa in Karmo market, abuja
The mai-gida of under aged child girl in the Nigerian Senate

Denex, learn your history. Learn it properly.

1) Uthman enslaved more Nigerians than the british did. They were "mailed" over to Arabia. And islamic rule can NEVER be democratic.
2) Zik cut a deal with the british to "unite" with the north. It was a british vision, not a Zik-ish one.
3) Aminu Kano hardly even knew what he was doing. He was a puppet in the arms of his masters.

The other two I'll possibly agree with,

Mr Banderas u seems to b illiterate (or beta say uneducated). I cant comprehend d phrase "Did Mr. Banderas pass his Civic education or Social studies?" O now I get He failed. His teachers den happen to b so corrupt to let him pass. Or "He is trying to make a beautiful comment?". O o now I get he is one those liars who causes crisis, choas and religious war, making innocent life to b lost, while hiding at his moda back. Pls Bro. b truthful while making comment, Cus dere are som people more knowledge than U. O o I am sorry Mr Banderas u neva go skul b4 ko? Oh I mean it is den I can help to improve ur cogniture structure.

When will you stop defending your Arab slave masters.Being a Muslim doesn't mean you must defend them

Mr I-man u people neva seize to amaze me wit ur hatred towards Muslims. Ur hatred can neva obstruct d truth instead it will continue bring people to d truth (Islam). So, continue wit ur treachery. The prophecy is Islam will prevail, even wen u the enemies of Islam dnt like it. Thus, I advice u to come and join d boat.

ShyM-X:
I see a lot of people posting: Gamaliel Onosode.

Who's he/she? Can anyone give me his unauthorised autobiography?

http://thenationonlineng.net/new/gamaliel-onosode-at-80/

•In celebration of Mr. Straight and Fastidious

He is acclaimed to be straight and that can be taken to mean both literally and metaphorically. This is because for most of his 80 years which he turned May 22, he has managed to keep a physique that is lean, trim and ramrod upright. Gamaliel Oforitsenere Onosode is also acclaimed to be a highly disciplined man and one may need no other proof than the fact that he seems incapable of growing a tummy, not even an onion-sized one, the way ‘big men’ of his age and clime are wont. In fact, his ways are so decidedly his, so defined that you could never mistake G.O. Onosode for someone else. Even his voice too – high-pitched, clear, authoritative and seeming to be always loud – is a testimony to this enigma.

Onosode is the kind of man who defines his era, but that has to be in a different civilisation. For here in his place of birth he excelled all right, but his dour environment only encrypted him like an incubus which allowed an occasional peek of sunshine. In all his marvelous efforts and glorious achievements, Onosode remains that breath never exhaled; he is a tree that could have been an Iroko and perhaps the great political leader who never found a party.

He studied Classics at the University College, (now University of Ibadan) on multiple scholarships (State Scholar and University Scholar, 1954-1957) for he was extremely brilliant and top of his class. As attestation to the quality of his mind, he won the Department and Faculty Prize; he was elected Cambridge University Jebb Scholar (1957). Onosode however, did not end up in the academia as was to be expected; he played in the boardrooms instead, earning the uncommon status of perhaps heading the most number of boards in Nigeria today.

He also chaired panels, boards, councils, commissions and committees in both public and private sectors. The list is quite long: Cadbury Nigeria Plc, Nigerian Institute of Management, Federal Military Government Projects Review Committee, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited, CFAO Nigeria Limited, Nigeria Stockbrokers Limited, Crusader Insurance Company (Nigeria)Limited, Dunlop Nigeria Plc, Niger Delta Environmental Survey, Global Missions Board, Nigeria Baptist Convention. There may be over 50 more if we add directorship and trusteeship of all sorts of businesses, bodies and groups.

In a country bereft of good people and leaders of character, Onosode would earn his place anywhere on the globe as a man of conscience and shining integrity. Why do you think he is so much sought after to be at the helm, not just because he is brilliant; he is simply a gem, a rarity in a famished land where honest and decent men are few and far between. He must be a classic example that honesty meshed with brilliance, rigour and industry will never fail.

From 1960 up until the early 1990s, Onosode was the authority to be referred to in merchant banking, stock broking, development economy and even manufacturing. By the time he was 30 years, he was already Secretary, Nigeria Idustrial Development Bank (NIDB) which was known then as Investment Company of Nigeria and at 40, he was chairman and chief executive officer, NAL Merchant Bank.

It is difficult to hold anything against Mr. G.O. Onosode except that he was too straight, too strict and perhaps colourless. You are not likely to catch him in a big Owanbe party and he once said in an interview that he was not one to go to the stadium on a Saturday afternoon to watch a football match. He is also too down to earth to deserve a seat in the pantheon of Nigeria’s big men. Unimaginably, he chose to live in the Surulere suburb of Lagos State; a part of town not good enough for his senior managers when he was at the height of his corporate glory. He still lives there till today. He could have owned half of Ikoyi and Victoria Island if he was a wee bit covetous. We salute Mr. (yes, he is simply Mr.) Onosode as he turns 80 years. Shall we just say that he is a rare gift that Nigeria never really accepted or fully utilised.

You see the kind of thinking we have here?
"Islamic rule can NEVER be democratic".
You forget that any rule which the majority endorse is democratic.

I'm reading a news piece right now in which an Arabic school in Brooklyn New York, the USA is being clamped down on. So can Christian rule EVER be democratic?



And you will not be able to open your mouth and say anybody enslaved more Nigerians than the British by the time you realise that close to 30% slave cargo of the British perished en route. Then about quarter of the rest were killed in slave farms during "breaking".

The Northern Nigerians had a written history for centuries. If Uthman had enslaved 15 million slaves, it would have been recorded somewhere.

Or at least even in oral tradition.

If you compare the population of slave descendants in Arabia to those in the Americas, you will realise the fallacy in your claim.



President Azikiwe struck a deal to unite Nigeria. Ehen? Are you trying to pass that off as a bad thing? If "Zik" had his way, he'd strike a deal to unite the whole of Africa!


Please tell me, are you saying that Mallam Aminu Kano's "masters" ordered him to sell all his belongings and live the rest of his life in penury trying to educate the talakawa and almajirai? Let me make it clear that I'm not one of those people that you will come and sell mystical stories about Northern Nigeria because I was born there and I lived the first half of my life there.


So how come Pat Utomi, Jaja of Opobo and Nana of Itsekiri have done no wrong.

Why don't you remind me that Pat Utomi made Volkswagen collapse, Jaja was a rude slave and Nana was a monopolist.



I use God beg you, these are my own chosen. The topic did not say "who are THE most respected, " it asked for personal opinion and I gave mine. So TEACHER, DON'T TEACH ME NONSENSE!!!

stop wasting you time trying to explain...its not worth it. u've made your point. very nice list i must say. God Bless.
