This guy try, him really try. I love when Nigerians go abroad and achieve economic excellence.... It motivates me like hell.
Which is why I sent my my brother Kabiru too abroad to study in the best University over there in Cotonou. That e-diot couldn't even come back home with an ordinary third class. omo ale jati jati! angry

Congrats

The essence of fatherhood is bigger, far bigger than the greatness of our professions.

By the way, do engineers eat food, drink water and see medical doctors? I conclude that all professions are interdependent.

Bless you. Bless your son. He will be great and he will not lose his wife to another, even if he is not an engineer. (but, you know, even if your son is not an engineer, his wife could be!).

Nigerian student Ufot Ekong has just become the first Nigerian to earn a “First Class Degree” and become the best overall student at Tokai University in Tokyo, Japan since 1965!

The last time anyone graduated with a grade point average similar to Ufot Ekong was over 50 years ago.
Utof, who put himself through school by working two jobs has won many other academic awards at the university; totaling to about six awards. On top of all his academic excellence, Ufot also solved a 30 year old outstanding mathematical equation in his first semester!
Ufot speaks English, Yoruba, French and Japanese.
Now that’s young, brilliant and black at it’s FINEST!

I doubt if this guy will come and utilize his maths skill in Nigeria. Nigeria has been suffering from brain drain since 1914.

I doubt too bro. Japan will make him theirs for a long time.
