GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT NATION!!!

Now, practically every Tomiwa, Dike and Haruna(So much for FEDERAL CHARACTER!!) knows that Nigerians are a bunch of resolute, hard-working, industrious, never-say-die......(i can go on and on) folks, who are leaving indelible marks across many different fields of endeavour world over.

I mean, among numerous other examples, the name of legendary Nigerian-born American star basket-baller, Shakiru Oni (now popularly known as Shaquille O'Neal) readily comes to mind.

One can not forget to mention Mukaila Tiamiyu (known to many as Mike Tyson), reverred for his heavyweight boxing prowess.

Another 'citizen of the world' who continues to do his fatherland proud on the global stage is Nigerian export, eclectic fashion designer Raufu Olurin (a humble Lagos Tailor who went on to nurture the Ralph Lauren brand to global reckoning as a SuperBrand)

Infact, rumour has it that trail-blazing designer Tommy Hilfiger has his roots in the world's most populous black nation. Christened Tomisin Olu-Fayiga at birth, after which he later naturalised in search of the golden fleece, Fayiga has unarguably become a force to be reckoned with globally.

As a matter of fact, this list of Nigerians that have gone on to play on the global turf is indeed endless!!

These are practical examples of Good people from a great nation, and their success stories should by no small measure inspire and motivate you and I to strive to attain similar, if not higher achievement(s).
