Uyi Iredia: The thought that he is another possible shining star in the diaspora saddens me. A number of my acquaintances are disenchanted with this country and seek greener pastures abroad, youths who'll lend their energies to other countries instead of home where it is much needed for a better country in an era of globalization. Sighs !

[/size]


Makes first class with 4.0 grade point from possible 4.0
OLUWAYINKA DADA writes on the achievement of a Nigerian student, , Tunji Anthony Olu-Taiwo, who graduated with a first class degree on the scale of 4.00 out of a possible 4.00, at the Faculty of Engineering, Eastern Mediterranean University in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus, thus emerging the best graduating student in the institution.
Nigerians outside the country, especially, the youth, most of which are students and entrepreneurs, have been making the nation proud with their successive victories and record- breaking achievements in recent times.
Indeed, not minding the controversial image of Nigeria, home and abroad, the country’s nationals in foreign land, most especially students, are worth celebrating for their intelligence, as they keep on winning laurels for the country.
One of such students is Tunji Anthony Olu-Taiwo, who emerged the best student at the Eastern Mediterranean University in the Turkish Republic of Cyprus.
Olu-Taiwo, as an engineering student of the institution, graduated with a first class degree with a 4.0 Cumulative Grade Point (CGP) out of possible 4.0, thereby not only emerging the best student of his faculty, he also made history as the first black and African to record such a feat in the institution.
Really, Olu-Taiwo is the pride of Nigeria in far away Eastern country of Cyprus and in the country’s foremost institution, Eastern Mediterranean University founded in 1979 with a population of over 13,500 students from 67 countries.
According to the school’s record, the university was initially established as an Institute of Technology, and for this reason, engineering fields was considered as its founding departments, likewise it was then seen as a higher-educational institution of technology for Turkish Cypriots.
Today, Eastern Mediterranean University is regarded as the oldest and largest university in the Island of Cyprus.
Then, as a result of the importance attached to the Olu-Taiwo’s ground breaking achievement, the president of Cyprus, Dervis Eroglu, in an elaborate ceremony personally presented Olu-Taiwo with a merit award tagged: The status of High Honours (First Class) award from the President of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.
Thereafter, the president graciously waited till the end of the ceremony as a way of honouring the celebrant.
Olu-Taiwo, already is in early 20s, is an indigene of Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government area of Lagos State, but was born in Kano State, where he had both his primary and secondary education.
He attended Air Force Nursery and Primary School, Kano and St. Thomas Secondary School in Kano. While growing up, Olu-Taiwo developed a passion for system programming.
This is why he said he spent most of his time in developing great and popular mobile application.
Olu-Taiwo’s dream is to become a reputable software engineer, as he said he intends to improve the world of computing.w This he has started with a first class honour he made in engineering.
What you should know about Olu-Taiwo is that, besides scholarly activities, he is not just an engineer, he also has interest in playing chess, listening to music and plays the station games.
Olu-Taiwo loves software development and hopes that one day he would use his knowledge to change Nigeria and the world.
But now, having obtained his degree, he had decided to further his education in the field of software engineering.

Saint Chukz: I am more interested in how this thread made Frontpage cos i know a similar one (the one on the girl with 4.0 CGPA in her Msc from US) like this which didn't. Is it that you have bribe a Mod or what..?

Van snickers:

How was Einstein a dullard?

airmark:

Fine-tune this first.

Saint Chukz: List them? Or i tag you a liar....:|

Saint Chukz: Goggle and Read up on his early life.

Dolly-Parton:

I don't have to list them.
I studied medicine in Poland.

Saint Chukz: Is that not eastern europe if i'm not mistaken...So how does that translate to most EU countries?

Dolly-Parton:


And u are sure other EU countries don't use the same system?

HotNaijaBabe:

Yeah! There is no G.P.A for MBBS...What exactly did he study?

#Very very impressive!

Lordave: dey their dey grow, your mate for monkey don get grand children.

Saint Chukz: i should be the one asking this same question in reverse, not that i doubt you @ all cos i have a friend who is currently studying medicine in Ukraine and they use the CGPA system but then Poland and Ukraine are similar and almost the same. So i doubt if that's what obtains in Western european countries like in the UK for example.

Cori_corde:

It's a popularly believed fallacy actually. Einstein was a genius from the onset. He mastered calculus before he turned 15.

Anyway, good luck to Victor. I hope he does well in the future rather than disappearing into oblivion like the other 'geniuses' we've been hearing of.

ShyM-X:
Einstein was overrated, so was Pythagoras, Avogadro, Aristotle, Hippocrates etc..

However, Sir Isaac was a genius.

Imhotep was the greatest genius to walk this planet.

Dolly-Parton:

So you have no idea of what were talking about before.
Poland is totally different from Ukraine. And if u noticed, I said most EU countries which means most countries in the European Union. All these countries have similar laws that guide them, hence they tend to have similar way of grading student. United Kingdom uses GPA, malta, ireland,
And no, Ukraine is not an EU country.

Dolly-Parton:


And you are a genius I guess.
