This thread has been hijacked, what makes some of these people famous? or even great? do we know the meaning of fame and greatness? I think Jarus should not put great and famous together. Make this thread either for fame or for greatness. Some people on some of the posters list in true sense should be jailed for life, shot or even hanged. Rubbish. Obj should be castrated for putting us in this mess since 1999. ![]() Ojukwu should be shot for leading millions to death without engaging his brain. ![]() Ndidi should be bitchslapped for almost crashing the stock market ![]() |
