We can never go back in time so we lost an opportunity to identify with Brazil on the occasion her 200th anniversary which would be ending in13 minutes london time.
Maybe that should have been the issue spearheaded by Yoruba -BrazilianTunde Bank anthony because Baba mobolaji bank snthony and lady lande bank anthony grew up there in the Brazilian quarters. So Tunde bank anthony should have been busy there that day.that is part of his Histoty! That is his own Hostory!!. And my own History too!
The Brazilians are our friends! Consideting the volume of trade they have done with nigeria they deserved editorial comments in all the nigerian newspapers on the 200 anniversary! Look below:
Brazil and Nigeria trade relations recorded $280.81 billion in export earnings in 2021.However, Nigeria's export earnings to Brazil was $47.2 billion in the year under review.
In the area of imports in 2021, Brazil was higher with import earnings of $219.41billion, while Nigeria recorded earnings of $52.1 billion so reported the thisday newspaper. days to the anniversary.
Engr Bambose Martins made it as commissioner of physical planning and urban development in lagos. Great. My candidate Lanre Bamkole almost made it because he has Bam in his name.well we should start thinking of using Bamboo for affordable housing.Bamkole as structural engineer would tell you that atimes Bamboo is preferable to steel!
Then there is Peter Bamkole of the lagos business school.
It would be interesting to know why his parents gave him the name Peter because our Lord Jesus said to Peter "on this rock you would build my church."and the name Bamkole means" build me a house!"
BANK AND Bankole! BANKOLE I presume is a corruption form of Bamkole or Better put Bamikole. Can reno omokri help?
