Is a shame that we have a govt that doesn't encourage people with talents by recognizing their works but do recognize rich people in the society. People like Wole Soyinka, Dora Akinyuli and many of them that I cannot remember their names should be immortalizes. Unfortunately it seems being rich is the ultimate in Nigeria irrespective of how you makes the money, the society will honor you. Reason why people are going to any length to get rich which is a shame in a country that is blessed with honey and milk like NigeriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-39174070850893891742017-11-16T10:55:24.965+01:002017-11-16T10:55:24.965+01:00Ogidi kwe nu!!!!!Ogidi kwe nu!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-59583632286689032402017-11-16T10:46:13.244+01:002017-11-16T10:46:13.244+01:00Its a google doodle and it is used to commemorate ...Its a google doodle and it is used to commemorate events/birthday anniversaries etc. Today would have been his 87th birthday.
