Nigerian man, Freeman Osonuga, shortlisted to fly Space

A Nigerian man Freeman Osonuga has been shortlisted as one of the lucky human beings to travel to space! Osonuga, a Medicine and Surgery graduate from Olabisi Onabanjo University, was selected through the Rising Star programme, which launched at the One Young World Summit 2014 in Dublin

The programme invites both One Young World Ambassadors and outstanding members of the public aged 18-35, to nominate themselves to take on the trip of a lifetime.


If selected for the programme ​he​ will not only embark on a once in a lifetime flight to space but will also be offered a three year management contract. He will be the ​first Nigerian and First ​black African to fly to space!

Osonuga is a 2015 WIRED Innovation Fellow. He will be speaking live on stage at the WIRED 2015 conference in October, London. In late 2014, at the Peak of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, he worked as a volunteer and worked with the African Union team of Ebola responders for 6 months in Sierra Leone.

    This is not an achievement. Being the first to partake in something meaningless is not a laudable event.

      @stinson, the article states "first black African" meaning other black American might have gone to the space but this is first black African. You can read the article again for clarity.
