Ufot Ekong, a Tokyo-based Nigerian student, achieved a great feat recently by not only breaking a 50-year-old record in Tokai University, Japan, he indeed solved a mathematical puzzle which had remained unsolved for 30 years. What’s more, he accomplished the last feat just in his first semester in the university.


According to The Cable, an online newspaper which quoted The Independent which also quoted Flotilla Magazine, Ekong, who studied at Tokai University in Tokyo, achieved a first class degree in electrical engineering and scored the best marks at the university since 1965, breaking a whopping 50-year jinx.


The feat was deemed little surprise, as he was only in his first semester in the university when he solved a 30-year-old mathematics equation.


His accomplishment, no doubt, brings accolade to Nigeria.
Throughout his university career, Ekong is said to have won six awards for academic excellence despite maintaining two jobs alongside his studies so he can pay his way as a student.
He had earlier designed a car.


Ekong is not only an engineering genius, he is also a polyglot as he speaks English, French, Japanese and Yoruba, and even won a Japanese language award for foreigners.


He is currently working for Nissan and already has two patents for electronic car design to his name.
He is now studying for a Ph.D. For his project, he made the electric car, which travels as fast as 128 kilometres per hour, operating on charged batteries.


Founded in 1924, Tokai University is a prestigious private university based in the Japanese capital.
It is focused on the sciences and technology and roughly 60 per cent of all students are en­rolled in these schools.

Congrats brother. Stay there and enjoy the fruit of your labour. God willing when we get Biafra then you can return and contribute your quota to its development.
Song song o.

I love it when I see good news like this. Brother, it's your dancing time. The tune have been played, give it the best step and linger on what beholds you in the future.

Thank God he' s neither Igbo nor Yoruba. Atleast, the e- bigots will sharrrap. But wait o! Nigerians are more than great. We will go extra miles only if we can shun tribalism and see the good in ourselves.

The stewpid bigots are already labeling him as a product of Biafra. Most of them are just senseless like their C-IN-C
