James Earl Carter Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician and humanitarian who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981.

Today, October 1st 2024; President Jimmy Carter sets a new record on October 1, his birthday, when he will become the first American President to reach triple digits age (100) years old.


1978, LAGOS, Nigeria -- President Carter arrived here last night to become the First American leader ever to make an official state visit to black Africa.

He was greeted upon his arrival from Brazil at Murtala Muhammed international airport by Nigeria's chief of state, Lt Gen Olusegun Obasanjo and then driven immediately to State House on the marina of Lagos Island where he and other top officials of his party are to stay during their three-day visit.

The only other American President to through black Africa was Franklin D. Roosevelt who landed at Roberts Field in Monrovia, Liberia, en route home from the Cairo Conference in 1943.

He stayed only a few hours, however, and did not pay and official visit.

This photo was taken when President Carter inspected the Tincan Island Port Apapa in company of Colonel Mohammed Magoro who was then Federal(Commissioner) Minister of Transport.

One significant thing about this photo is that every Head of State from 1960 till 1983 once used this Nigeria Army Land Rover NA 522 for ceremonial events. Wonder where it’s stored today? Sure you know why it’s got a 3-star on its plate here?

cheesy

This is the guy that brought the Green card to our very own Prof Wole Soyinka without him even applying for one. He's written his name in Gold already

He should draw inspiration from us

Oct1 is a day of jubilation for great men like him and us
