I am looking for someone to replicate what Alhassan Dantata did with the groundnut trade in Kano. During World War Two, allied troops were supplied with Nigerian peanuts in their packs

Ayo Akinfe

[2] Despite his flaws, the more I read about Awolowo, the more I just marvel at his unique ability to envisage the future
