Okonjo Iweala neva said nigeria is running short of finance, she only stated that if the budget is passed late due to ammendments, it wil be difficult to pay people.

Harvard-Grad:


And 'being able to post' on NL is the gold standard for flying the Harvard brand? You will be surprised at the number of faculty that still use all those old school microfilm projectors grin grin

I was just messing with you.

Let me remix that: you made Harvard proud by alluding to things that are synonymous with old/ancient universities. Proud of you, bruv. wink

Dereformer: Mennnn, I envy this family. This is indeed a noble family. It is not about wealth. It is about determination and focus. I know many wealthier families in Nigeria whose children are vagabonds.

If the Okonjos are moslems their degrees will be in the act of bombing and terrorism. I still remember Abdulmutalab.

I hate Islam with passion.

Despite the amount of time some people spend on the internet, they still spew their ignorance (with pride) all over the place. And these are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow?

You should at least do yourself the justice of googling up Harvard before embarrassing your family and country on the social media.

In case you don’t know, Harvard is not about money. It is about ability!

You need to prove BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that you belong to the top strata of achievers - irrespective of your race and age - before you are accepted into the school. Besides, most people use STUDENT LOANS to fund their studies. It is almost automatic.

Harvard is NEVER about money!

Ngozi's children should be celebrated because gaining admission into such a school is an achievement on its own. Why do you think some Companies only employ graduates from Harvard?

Or have you ever heard of an Harvard graduate being “unwillingly” jobless? I don’t think it’s possible!

Invest in your life by spending time reading about value adding stuff. You don’t have to play the internet idiot; leave that to the others.

God bless Nigeria!
Yes it takes ability to make it into harvard. But this shouldn't be story worthy from a public servant. . You won't see anyone celebrating David Camerons children going to harvard because great britian has equally capable schools in oxford and cambridge. You won't see anyone celebrating the obama kids going to oxford or cambridge when you have the worlds best schools in the US, or as a US leader you are expected to evoke that sentiment. Ngozi Okonji Iweala, as with so many Nigerian leaders who pay lip service to change, are all hypocrites in my opinion.

It also takes money to get into harvard, there is something called grand fathering rule, once someone in your family has attended harvard, you have a brighter chance of getting in there, also, if you can put some money down for research, nobody will say no to your wards coming to harvard, it is only difficult for children of the poor and not too connected. It is a good thing her children have attended Harvard, but, they will be measured by what they are able to impart not the school they attended.

The greatest legacy one can be given is good and quality education, and that kind of education does nt come cheap, and if one is fortunate to have the priviledge of getting such, he should grab it with both hands.

Forget ignorant posts made by many ignorant youths on this forunm, the men and women that run things in this our world are graduates of top schools like harvard, yale, stanford, oxford, cambridge, London school of economics etc.

aaidel: guy go rest jor yes some people get into haravard based on ability but many others get in because they come from very wealthy families that have given millions in endowments to these universities so maybe you should take your own advice further and actually go through more than one google answer before making up your mind


@Aaide : You are very correct!

Just like anything elitist, one stands better chance to be admitted to Havard, Yale, Princeton and other Ivy-league colleges if it is the parent's alma mater. Prof. Okonjo went to Havard which opened up the doors for Ngozi Okonjo and her children thereafter.

Admission into Havard is not necessarily based on intellectual abilities alone. Man-Know-Man reigns supreme in their admissions considerations. Intellectual prowess is solely for the middle and low-class applicants. Heck, George Bush Jnr. went to Yale with C average. No poor man will ever do it.


But the dad opened the way for his sons. Life is not fair, you know...different yardsticks for different social classes. So guys....make your dough!
