coolzeal: Congratulation man, you're truly a son of the soil and mama Africa call you home. He says he will come back home but am not sure they will allow him to come back to Naija ooh.. Those white people will not allow him when they know how indispensable he is. Another stolen brain.. LOL- i seriously don't know where you guys get the idea from. Most of the time they don't want to come back. There are better opportunities abroad for them, there isn't much incentive to go back home. Thats the reason Africa is suffering from Brain Drain. It's not this 'whites will not allow him' nonsense i keep hearing here jare. |

moremi2008: Congratulations to the guy but I am not sure this is particularly worthy of an entire news article! I graduated with a 3.95 and was the only black kid inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in my graduating class. I didn't publish any of this in the news! Neither did any of the white kids who also graduated Phi Beta Kappa and went on to very prestigious graduate schools. We Nigerians need to just chill-out! Good grades + top graduate schools should be a matter-of-course, not an accomplishment worthy of breaking news! Another moronic cyberspace claim. |

queensmith: Well you know how they stole Philip Emeagwali and also a 15yrs old girl Saheela Ibraheem in Harvard studying now after being accepted by 13 prominent university in the USA. This are just few from the many that will not return to their country. Damn! I've to agree with you and we have lot of genius in Nigeria and our govt are just too stupid to think... |

saxywale: Everybody goes through difficulties in Life. It does not help the young black generation if the present successful blacks always go with the phrases "i was discriminated against". There are other difficulties people go through in Life. but people prefer to say the ones that make them heard and it affects the young generations. Ask most young drug dealers why they got into gangs and crime. They will say the system let them down. The system never let them down. I dont belive the system failed most of this kids. Their parents did and the media who keep showing them a few successful black men with stories that they were discriminated against through to success. |

You see, the guys has done Nigeria a great honor. But you see what delights me most, the guy has no link whatsoever to any of the idiots and wicked souls that steal our country resources and make our own educational system to be what it is today. Despite all the money they have stolen, their children cant do this well, they only come out with average grades and then continue to squander money like their parents. they should be ashamed of themselves. |

Thumbs up for Emmanuel for doing himself well and making us proud by utilizing the opportunity that came his way, however my concern is that there are a lot of kids outta here in the Nigerian Space that has got commensurate skills and potentials but whose stories could possibly never be heard not because they aren't good but the system would not create nor support true learning and development. Same dysfunctional system would lobby to have dis guy come back home after been baked by another state that pays attention to fundamentals - how possible? This guy's allegiance would be more to the US that made him who he eventually becomes. |

@2good thanks for pointing me to the rankings which i also saw or myself yesterday but did you see Johns Hopkins in the ranking. Its not there and this is because its the best hospital in the USA and i daresay the world and like i said its the number in training of mdical doctors and allied sciences. It has produced more noble laureates than any institution in the same class world wide but that is beside the point. it was an aside. The point i made are two folds- that i couldnt find an independent source for the emmenuel story outside NIgerian bloggers and that if its medicine, Yale does not rank higher than Johns Hopkins in the training of medical doctors. |
Re: Emmanuel Ohuabunwa 1st Blackman With 3.98 GPA At John Hopkins University by 2good(m): 10:00am On Jun 28, 2012 |
inene: @2good I quite agree on the medical ranking but sometimes it takes more than just the ranking when making a decision. Harvard, Yale,or Princeton on your CV no matter what you have studied, already open alot of doors and opportunity for you in this world. It is even more difficult sometimes to get into these Ivy League universities to study programmes where these schools are not ranked as number 1 than getting into thesame porgram in other universities where that program is ranked as number 1. |
Re: Emmanuel Ohuabunwa 1st Blackman With 3.98 GPA At John Hopkins University by SEFAGO(m): 2:58pm On Jun 28, 2012 |
He went to Yale prolly because of the new environment and full money. Yale is really good for medicine too although not as elite as johns hopkins. Guy got close to a 4.00 in a university that is top for its field in the world. Guy prolly spent 24/7 in the library while you guys were smoking weed. People are talking about their rubbish 4.5 from unilag. Nairaland cracks me up sha |
Re: Emmanuel Ohuabunwa 1st Blackman With 3.98 GPA At John Hopkins University by SEFAGO(m): 3:14pm On Jun 28, 2012 |
I haven't found an independence source yet either. I don't think he got a 3.98 what happened is he got a 3.98 in his major (neuroscience) and his overall GPA was less but sufficient to place him in Phi Beta Kappa (top 10 percent) in the whole university. If he had a full 3.98 he will be valedictorian of his class. I just don't trust nigerian newspapers they have the tendency to overreport This is al theory |

Re: Emmanuel Ohuabunwa 1st Blackman With 3.98 GPA At John Hopkins University by SEFAGO(m): 1:46am On Jun 29, 2012 |
so is it a major thing all together or just major for a black person? Phi Beta Kappa is a very big deal. Also well depends is it impressive hell yeah from Johns Hopkins a very academic and work-heavy school (So I hear anyways), for a black student even more so because its extremely rare for black students to be in Phi Beta Kappa even in sociology. The large majority of black students immediately they land a top US university study the social sciences even if they wanna be doctors. Even Nigerian-Americans who do decently well relative to their AA counterparts. I used to be involved in organizing the Phi Beta Kappa ceremony for my undergrad a long time ago and each year maybe one black student-2 black students out of like 150 student, tons of Asians though |
Re: Emmanuel Ohuabunwa 1st Blackman With 3.98 GPA At John Hopkins University by SEFAGO(m): 2:04am On Jun 29, 2012 |
Seems I am wrong and he graduated top of his University. YES,Its a very major madame queensmith . I think he is the first black person to graduate valedictorian at a top US university. |

Dayco: The type we get that we can't defend abi? The type we get when we sort out things with lecturers? Mtcheww! This is a very wrong comment. There is no Nigerian with a 4.5 GPA that is not smart irrespective of the university they attend be it state, federal or private university. We need to start respecting ourselves as blacks for us to progress. The personal beef among blacks is just too much. These same 4.5 people go abroad and do very well. |
