DMGS ( the King's College of the East ) has really given the world great people. Kenneth Dike, Prof Ogan West, etc. An ethnic group that has been blazing the trail in every sphere of human endeavours with spectacular feats.

A blessed race despite the gang up. While some say our forefathers were living on trees when education and civilization came to Nigeria. Thank goodness history have been reintroduced to the school curriculum. A lots of fallacies will continue to be dispelled.
