Memoire: Emmanuel Ifeajuna: Legend behind Nigeria's 1966 Coup and First Black African to Win a Gold Medal

 

This is in memory of the feat he achieved when he became the first black African to win a gold medal in Canada at the Commonwealth Games in 1954. 

 

The Late Emmanuel Ifeajuna, unarguably became the first single individual Nigerian-  African to write both Nigeria and Africa’s name on the world history map in sports  and became the first Nigerian and black African to win Africa’s first gold medal in all time sport event. 

 

Before he joined the Nigeria Army, Ifeajuna, then a Medical Student at the University College Ibadan, earned for himself this honour.

President Goodluck Jonathan

The President wondered how Buhari would develop the country’s economy, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as head of state between 1983 and 1985.

“Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country.” Jonathan asked?

So my people, there you have it. Are we to believe President Goodluck Jonathan and conclude that General Buhari can't remember a thing or shall we debunk this allegation?

Pa Jacob Kehinde Babajide
