A twitter user @Idrisdee tweeted this pic above and wrote "Anike Agbaje-Williams, first person, male/female to appear on TV in the whole of Africa, WNTV-WNBS,Ibadan on Oct 31,1959". Is this a fact? I love history!

Announcement!!!
Announcement!!!
I want to use dis opportunity to report chioma(venessa), she goes by d name "outfitbynessa" on instagram. She is a thief, for d past 3months she has been owing me money and has refused to pay back. This all started wen i decided to get a waist cincher and albolene cream from chioma( mind u, she didn't tell me her name or anything abt her). I decided to do mobile transfer of which i sent #16500 to her(15k for d products and 1500 for transport) on the 24th of September. She told me it will take sometime atmost a week to get to me.After some days i noticed dat her bbm was off and days bcame weeks wat saved me was dat i asked for her number in order to do the transfer( d number is not a nigerian number), i den had to search for d country which i did and also got her name as chioma( i am a kind of good at searching for things) i called her nd wen she found out who i was told me dat my goods were on d way, anoda time she told me she hadn't sent it, anoda time again it was with her banker sister in nigeria nd d delivery people didnt come to pick it up, after a while she stopped picking my calls, i had to reasearch again and found out her new bbm pin(79774ab7) and wen i added her she knew who i was and apologised for evrything nd said she would send d goods as soon as possible but as soon as d excuses continued i told her to return d money and wen she finally agreed to return it since den it's bin " u will receive d money tomorrow ", "someone will pay in d money to ur account". After sometime she claimed her money dat was owed by some people av bin returned nd yet she have refused to pay me my money she even took my number to call me nd i tot i was speaking to a reasonable person.I am tired, all i want is my money.
PS: i av all d evidence of our chat and if she comes out to say rubbish i will release all d chats.

Don't mind yorubas, their claim to be first in everything no be here. Just because others are nonchalant about their false claims does not make it correct. Chi

Linda obviously not!!. The first person african to appear on tv 1959?! LOL quite playing go on youtube and look for videos from the l1920's from the colonial Nigeria movies and the likes. Maybe she was the first female tv presenter in Nigeria. The western region in nigeria already had their own TV network thanks to AWOLOWO aka "AWO" by the late 1940's.. Please research first before you post.

Hmmmmmmn I hear

This is very correct. Western Nigeria television is the first in Africa and Anike Agbaje-Williams made the first broadcast on television in Africa in 1959.

But her dressing was so modern to be that old. Even the hair style looks like something of the 20th century not that long time ago. Well good to know.

Yes she is. Her name is Anike Agbaje Williams and she was Late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya's mum
