I know many will disagree but there is a solid argument that can be made for the claim.

Funmilayo Ransome Kuti- First woman to drive in Nigeria

Ran the Alake out of town, challenged colonial authorities, died a martyr.

Beko Ransome kuti

Right in the midst of the anti Abacha movements. Generally an accomplished human rights activist

Olikoye

Accomplished Health minister. Introduced primary health care reforms

Fela Anikulapo

I won't even bother

please, do not downplay the impact Fela had in history. the only nigerian to creat his own music genre!!!
thats why sometimes, i find it hard to listen to all these other follo-follows. Fela Ajikulapo Kuti is an epitome of ORIGINALITY. Period!!!!

well i meant i won't even bother to mention his accomplishments becos they are common knowledge.

Haba I think Fela along with soyinka and achebe are the greatest Nigerians

please, i get short temper whenever someone tries to take "anything" away from Fela!!!! He is the greatest musician that has ever come out of AFRICA!!!!!!

I would say the most radical Nigerian family.

wat about lagbaja

Who the HELL IS LAGBAJA compare to BABA 70? LAGBAJA is not even in the category of BABA ANI his close confidant. Please FELA signify strength, persistence and hope for lots of peole> I was furtunate to see him on several occasion on GBE GBE GBE night at the shrine, you have to listen to the man to understand how deep and a powerful thinker the man is.

PeeDaVinci:

what about lagbaja

What is that?  
he sings lullabies

Greatest Nigerian family? Nah

Most rebellious and noted for notoriety!!! Hell yeah

Are the Ransome-Kuti's the greatest Nigerian family?? NO!

The most radical family? Yeah. . . .

The most notorious family? Perhaps. . . .

The most 'non-conformist' family? Um. . .certainly!

Amongst the great Nigerian families (no single family deserves that ''award'') in no particular order are:

Kuti
Dafinone
Ikoku
Osigwe
My own family (name withheld )

someone just compared lagbaja to Fela

blasphemy.

does ur mum drive? if ye, she should be thankful that Mrs Ransome Kuti (RIP) was rebellious enough to have done wat was considered a manly thing. Notoriety, i dont understand. Is it because Fela sings about wat ur uncles and aunties do with the people's money, or is it because Beko fights for Human rights? Martin Luther King is one of the gr8test pple that ever came out of USA and he was not as "rebellious" as Fela.

You lack sense abi na sense dey lack you?? I know your ilks. Once you are given 30 mins airtime in a cybercafe, you start behaving like an unteachable mind. My uncles and aunts didnt have to literarily sleep in contract offices like your people.

If you are daft enough to know that Fela sang about instituional corruption, then i guess you should be stupid enough to know he smoked marijuana brazenly which was an affront to the laws. so doesn't that makes him notorious?

If you are not a Human Mutt, then you should know the word "rebellious" used in this context doesn't mean he was the "bad guy". Ofcos, Fela's "rebellious" acts were a threat to the military establishment. If you were not smoking hemp during your history class, then you should also have read about Funmilayo's notoriety with the Alaake of Egbaland or so.Ofcos that doesn't stop her from being an hero, afterall she fought for Independence

Dont you know "Notoriety" and "Rebellious" were used as a figure of speech in this context? Its not your fault, obviously someone wrote your JAMB and WAEC for you!. You are a product and a testament of our failing educational standard in Nigeria!

Can someone please tell this retarded fellow about the exploits of the Dafinone family in the International arena?

After a deep reflection about your post, i concluded that you are either a dumbo or you must be galactically stupid!!!

WOW!!! Some venom there

U go just do wetin? On the contarary, what money did he chop? That one no even concern me, his family might not even be the best in Nigeria, but the guy's family being in the Guiness book of records is noble enough? Yall think its easy to have a family of seven or so being London Chartered?

Dumbo _{(na your new nickname be that ooooo, let it stick please!)}. No Lie, you dey smoke gbana too!!. See as this negro dey defend him stupidity.

Drive? hehehe  , Just bring any vehicle on wheels for my Mama, make i no even continue !!!

why are you so particular about this mama driving stuff, Did your mum jost collect her drivers license or she just passed her driver's test or what? (Mo congratulate iya e fun Aseyori tuntun)  . Probably, thats why you are spurting your ejaculate all around the thread .

Lets get back to business, ofcourse the Kuti's are great, who else do you think again?

this is becoming funny. . .

Simple answer. . .Hell No!

I'll take the Ibrus!
