it is mostly an innovators list.
Jobberman guyz are still innovating.
And another point of the whole thread, is not mentioning all the already well known 'Big wigs" Dangote, Otedola and co....

The big guns aren't innovators bro, they traders with huge capital at their disposal while some of them now ventured into manufacturing. Otedola is not different from that aboki selling fuel in my street except his capital base. Import Na buy and sell too

cremedelacreme:


Typical Nigerian, seeing everything from a tribal lens. Don't go and do something useful with your life, be waiting for innovators from other tribes.
@post, one of those moments one feels proud to be a Nigerian.

We just love to be hypocritical. As one goes through the list, it was a glaring observation where those names originate. I do know there are other achievers of various origins. Just wondering why the OP 's list was like that.

Could it be intentional or a mere coincidence.

Dunno why, but i just wished am a yoruba guy..diarris God o.

Dr awojobi is late...but the man good die. he was a genius...a med doc that did the work of an engineer

If you have to try to convince people about it then maybe its not that obvious

One of the most creative topic in the FP recently.

What about Seun Osewa of Nairaland

Nice ass whooping...don't mind him

Seun:
Is Dangote not innovating?

He sure is but considering our capitalist environment and the possible inside intrigues, concessions etc that might've (supposedly) gone into running, growing and sustaining Dangote Group in its nascent days, esp. those Military Junta days, folks would wanna just go easy and silent on some Nigerian "Made-Men" & corporations jarey.

But, these other dudes, these "learrned gentlemen"? Having no family-linked, Angel startup funding yet innovating at this broadbased levels, you want to just doff your cap for them.

NB
the least of them had B.SC's though, while Dangote built his empire, to a large extent, without the personal benefit of a university degree.
That, my friends, is where the gargantuan achievement lies because

Olodo nor dey BECOME billionairre!

freshdude99:

Just goes to show you how good the Ibo man can be and the very reason the western zoo see them as a threat while the rest of the zoo fear them

You've got to stop this 'zoo' nonsense. Yes, it is nonsense. Can't you afford not to be tribalistic?!!! #tufiakwa!

I can't see any Hausa/fulani on the list. Yet, They have been the ones leading this country since independence. No wonder this country is no growing. Our past leaders are mostly from the part of the country that lack creative sense

Ehimenboy:
Wow!
Notably, the fields are from Technology (esp ICT,) Literature and Health.


But, that UNN man amuses me... 'Engineer at Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry...'. A mention of four quite distinct fields; one man!

Lolxxxx.. I just tire with d man and his field of study .. Some people can be greedy in studying courses

small boy - why would I interrupt my great yankee life to come and confirm you live in some shack in Abuja?

You are exposing your low self-esteem. You no sharp at all.

O na abu a si nwata wuba ahu, o saba afo ya (You tell a child to wash his body, he washes his stomach). What a novice

Useless thread !

Op,FYI No 10 Dr Awojobi died about 5 months ago, why are we to watch out for him ?

Few days ago I read an article here on NL on how ibos are mere traders and chest beaters while the yolobas are the true entrepreneurs and innovation drivers in Nigeria. What can be more annoying than that bro u start screaming tufiakwa!
It's a calculated attempt to undermine our efforts psychologically. So I know exactly what am saying wen I use the word 'zoo'

Hahahaha
Boy I thought you get sense self, I never knew that Na coconut water dey up der.
I have travelled around bro so don't think you are chatting with a local champion. I have got a sweet life here in Abuja.
So deal with it

Oh my! Welcome mister. Yours is 'a calculated attempt to undermine their efforts psycologically' too and probably promote tribal self esteem, right? Wrong. You don't quell a fool with foolish words-- because when you do, you've only increased folly!
