Weldone omo naija rere. He raised many important questions dt need pondering on. e.g. misplaced priorities of our docs. & profs, corruption in govt.

Fascinating story. The sort of child that is every parent's dream. Sadly, they're few and far between. We're talking about John Hopkins here, not any of the countless moimoi schools all over the US and UK. It's an incredible feat. By the way, I assume Emmanuel might be a nephew to Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa - Chairman of Neimeth Pharmaceuticals and erstwhile chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group? The Ohuabunwa clan is quite illustrious.

Nice

This guy would be lost in the crowd if he was in Nigeria. I think the educational system in the US brings out the best in you. Through out my final year as an undergraduate I used candle and light illuminating from my mobile phone to read, the incessant strikes and bad lecturers; that would tell you that you would fail his course at the beginning of his class and only bright student would manage to have C. It's no fun at all schooling in Nigeria.
My only concern for the dude is the Phi Beta group he joined has some elements of occultism.

Quite possible.

slimming: so 3.9 GPA is a celebration in that university? when lots of people are making 4.5+ in Nigeria without international recognition.

Please lets not allow this fellows statement to distract us from the topic at hand.

The young (Emmanuel) has done very well and has indeed done Nigeria proud. Believe me, there are many people of his caliber in this country, its just unfortunate that our system does not celebrate achievers nor encourage them....well done Emmanuel.

However I'm not so sure if its the right decision for him to comeback to Nigeria, as many who have come back in the past have been rubbished by the system. Suggest he prays hard about that...........

slimming: so 3.9 GPA is a celebration in that university? when lots of people are making 4.5+ in Nigeria without international recognition.

3.98 in the US is equivalent to making 4.98 in a Nigerian University

This is coming at a time when the Ibos and yorubas are producing people of excellence, and bringing glory, honour and respect to themselves and the Nation, The Hausas are busy promoting and encouraging terrorism to tear the country apart.Congrats Ohuabunwa.

“That, combined with my hours of volunteer service in different hospitals across the US allowed me to gain acceptance into every medical school I applied to, including Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and Cornell. As the time came to make a decision, I had narrowed it down to Harvard and Yale. Both schools, I enjoyed visiting. Nevertheless, while my parents prayed, they asked God to give us a sign of what school to attend. A few days later, I received a letter from Yale Medical School, offering me a full ride scholarship for all four years. That was the sign from God,” he said.

When he grows up, I hope he drops this lame unscientific part of his thinking.

Ohuabunwa, however, said that his parents, who he described as his greatest role models, contributed a lot to his academic feat through Godly training, counsel and guidance. He also did not forget the impact that his short stay at Air Force school had on him.

Later, some lunatically western law would say a woman is entitled to half because he made it by being married to her.

When his parents do not even have a right to claim a cent.

USA -
A=4.0
B=3.0
C=2.0
D=1.0
F=0
Meaning the highest u can get in a US universities is 4.0

MOST NIGERIAN universities
A=5.0
B=4.0
C=3.0
D=2.0
E=1.0
F=0

Meaning the highest you can get in most Nigerian universities is 5.0

So u see why 3.98 in a US top university is a big deal

Danka7777:

Thanks for the observation. If you live in the U.S, I am assure you hear these all the time: "First black to do this, First black man to do that, Blah blah blah" I get pretty irritated by these, and I can tell this is by design to demean us(black people).

Congratulations to the young man!

ALL NEED TO WATCH THIS. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SEEN AS A NIGGER!

In as much as I understand your frustration, do you expect the bigger world to take blacks race serious with the high level of poverty and lack of growth on the African continent? I'm not trying to be anti African but raising a reality of what is happening in Africa.
The only solution to ending the stereotype you so despise is looking for how to develop Africa because almost everything we use or learn have been developed by other race. We have to look inward and ask ourself what is the problem with Africa first because getting angry will not solve the problem.

You'll be betting a long shot if you put your money on that guy making a 1.0 GPA in school.

But this guy is a disgrace because he suppose to be either a university undergraduate or a university graduate. People need to know that university is not all about dy/dx or studying principles of what ever. University education should open you to how the world works.

I was about to say the same thing? Why use 1st black man?Does that mean after all this years , a black man finally achieved. you meant to celebrate the guy as an individual,not by the color of his skin.

Exactly, it wasn't soo long ago neuroscience was used to prove blacks were inherently stewpid. He should have known lol. Racism exists in all corners of the gaffe.

Are you blind or u are just another variant of gudluck jonathan. It says 3.98 out of a possible 4.0 and not 5.0 as we hav in naija. So tell me, between 3.98/4.0 and 3.9/5.0, which is greater?

I'm sure dis dude^^ don't knw that the University of Ibadan have a maximum CGPA of 7.0. I'm also sure he doesn't read very well before making inferences. I hope he is able to make a CGPA above 2.0.. That's if he is in school, cos I don't fink has graduated.
