bropeee:
There are many more like this back home here. We've got brains just that many don't get the opportunity.

Yup. Oodles of them hawking rat poison. Really pathetic.

100.5%GPA....is this a mistake?

[Correct boy

Kudos bro.

UGLYS:
Why are Nigerians aversed to remarkable achievements like this?

If its ten signs she wants to have sex; professors, savants and dons will flood the topic to register their thoughts, shameful.

Lol. This actually made me laugh out loud

Positive news like this will always motivate people

keep the flag flying, proud to be a Nigerian.

Kudous!!!

Thats cool,I was suprised when i read that Nigerian American(Nigerians that are Citizen of America) are thé most educated in Usa(even more than thé whites).40% have bachelor degree,17% have masters degree and 4% doctorate degree.This is more than any group in America.its good thing to be a Nigerian

Nigerians and Africans in general are amazing, especially the ones who I had the pleasure of meeting during a commemorating chapter of my life during my UG/Masters years. There's also the extremely intelligent African hip hop artists from the UK, Americas (including Canada), and Africa who I enjoy beats with. I'm AA and Africans I've known in the US were always smarter than white kids, but I dont think they cared too much about some racial feat, it was about being hardworking. Not that it's an issue that concerns me, but interesting that 90% of Africans I know are in relationship with white counterparts.

I like hearing stories of how these great minds become married, business owners, industrial game changers, and most importantly those who use their skill-set to build a stronger Nigeria.

Keep sending more over.

Been clueless in americal , I love that title but wish it was titled been clueless in nigeria

Proudly African, proudly Nigerian and proudly Igbo. Prove them wrong that Africa is not that continent plagued with diseases, poverty, war and terrorism, and Nigeria is not that country bedeviled with con artists and criminals, and the Igbo are not that people labelled as drug traffickers. Good things are known about us as a people. Giving the opportunity, we come out tops. God bless Africa!

High school student already carying out research in medicine field! Undergraduates in Nigeria are occupied with ASUU strike and all what not. . . GMB really got his work cut out.

in Africa almost everybody wanna be educated

Great achievement by a young Nigerian. Keep it up
Front page all dway

God one. Keep the flag flying.


Anyone noticed the title was Nigerian not Yoruba, Hausa ijaw or IBO. That's how the world sees us until we see ourselves as such ain't no point in the marriage.

Proudly African...


Proudly Nigerian...


GOD BLESS NIGERIA...

Did you say that about the two Michaels who hacked a British soldier to death

if he didnt move to america.. ...

"He speaks Igbo". I too know mothers of this indomie generation take note! Someone who went to the USA at 8. It pains me so so much when our illiterate educated new bred mothers choose English over their native language in order to prove that their children are brilliant when in the real sense they are dummies of the 'dummiest' order.

I'm happy for the guy, except for the fact that he wants to be a neurosurgeon. That's a waste of brain space. Just do something in IT or economics and make good use of your brain. There's room for innovative thinking in technology and engineering fields. In medicine, na so so cram and pour.
God help you!

Abeg tell us na which American president send this high school student for go do research

Did you rad about COMMUNITY mentoring etc? How much have you contributed to your former school & community? I get it, you are waiting for a know-all, do-all messiah to do the work ALONE wey you don cut out for am, not so

BTW, what is your Buhari's track record on education?

How many almajiri, primary, secondary schools and universities did he build?

You need to see how Nigerians are aplenty in my school here in US.

My african american co-worker at work shudders each time I mention Nigeria.

He has a lot of respect for Nigerians.

My Ethiopian co-worker says she hates attending ASA meetings (African Students Association) because over 80% of the students are Nigerians. It is stifling. She loves Flavour, P Square and plays 'Nwa Baby Rmx' all the time. Lol.

JonaTheClown:

Stop running faster than ur shadow. Where in my post did u see me refer to GMB as all u've mentioned? Its simple, though! Lay the bedrock for a corrupt free economy, an economy non wholly dependent on oil. Increase IGR. Appoint competent and dedicated personnel in all aspect of the economy and watch the country self heal over time!

Yea, I'm telling you. Nigerians here are doing well. My boss at work (IT company) is Nigerian and you need to see how smart and intelligent he is, and commands respect from his oyibo subordinates. I have utmost respect for him. I attended the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) conference in Anaheim, California (flew to Los Angeles International Airport) 2 weeks ago. This is an event that is held once every year during which top companies such as Ford Motors, General Electric, Shell, Chevron, Chevrolet, Northrup Grummann, Intel, Cisco etc attend to recruit intelligent black engineers, and is attended by thousands, of students from all over US. I went there and the number of Nigerians I found there was stifling. Nigerians (Igbo, Yoruba, Urhobo, Ibibio) everywhere. O gini na-afio? Approximately 45% of the people there were Nigerians, including the recruiters/HR personnel representing the companies and the students. You would walk up to a recruiter to talk to him only to read his name tag and see 'onyekachi dike' or 'olaide tony' or 'dubem nwobu'. Or you would jump in line waiting to talk to a particular company and read the name tags of everyone standing in line and ALL are Nigerians. WTF Even one of the recruiters happened to be my village guy, same village same ogbe (quarter)! Nna, quickly we exchanged contacts o. I met a couple of students who graduated from my UG school, UNN. People were just landing job offers on the spot. Interviews taking place here and there on the spot. One naija guy landed 3 offers from 3 different companies and was confused as to which one to choose. We (a collection of 5 nigerian students at the event ) advised him to go for Johnson & Johnson seeing that it has more job benefits than the others.

Towards the ending of the event on the second day, na em my fellow yoruba students begin blow yoruba anyhow. Yoruba dey represent anywhere dem go. I hail una.

Or is it confidence and composure? Give it up to the Nigerians. They were walking around like they own the entire building complex.

And confidence is one trait most recruiters look out for in potential candidates, even if you don't know what you're saying, just act like you know what you're saying.

You can most times tell a Nigerian from his walking gait and the confidence he exudes while walking, or in other words, his 'i no send you' waka.

It goes a long way to show the huge presence of Nigerians in engineering in US. Nigerians rarely go for ajebo courses like english literature, social work, biological biology or however they want to tus.h it up to sound appealing , but the tough ones such as engineering, medicine, etc where the money is.

zwar:


Lool...it does not work that way dude...you can not just put anyone in a position because of some high grades
Leadership is different from academic ability....though both can work in tandem at times...but not always
There have been so many other older Nigerians that have acheived such feat, but choose to keep it silent..
Ain't no biggies...

Absolutely. If history and experience is anything to go by, I will go even further by subjectively saying leadership and academic ability are not mutually exclusive.
