wandeay: why is black always attached, i s that discrimination or what

it isn't discrimination...... it's the bunch of uncle toms trying to celebrate rubbish...... and they will start saying there are no role models in the uk, when all they sit down to do is celebrate stupidity rather than focus on uplifting the black youths in the inner city........ writing a book is her achievement...... these fools just make us look stupid all the time....

i know David Lammy and Trevor Phillips are behind is utter stupidity...... bunch of uncle toms.

There is nothing like best black student if you are not the best in your class.
It is a stupid endorsement of opinions of bloody racists! It's an insult to black race.

Have you ever heard of best white student?

emöfine2: She’s so beautiful...well done to her although I must say I detest this patronising term of “best black student”. Achievement shouldn't be colour coded afterall is she and others like her not fit to be placed in the same category as her Caucasian colleagues....
That aside, I do anticipate reading this young lady’s debut novel.



Kings College is a top university not only in the UK but in the world and this isn't solely based on results or esteemed institutions rather achievement...undecided

So on point.

It was awesome rubbing shoulders with Nobel Prize winners there. You work hard for your certificate. KCL has been a very good place for Nigerians. People like the late Prof. T. Bello-Osagie (Dr to Gowon, Babangida etc) among others went through there. Even Naija diaspora children make the med school seem as if u're in UNN, MAUL or UI.

Congrats!!

But this award is a slap on the faces of those kids doing sciences at the top unis in the UK. Why call her the best black student, when she clearly isn't?

I need to laugh out loud, and fvck off this thread.

The award should have been the youngest 'black' achiever in the UK. undecided

Igbo people are brilliant, no doubt. But Yorubas and others are making us proud also from what I see daily. There is a lot of postive in that direction. I tried to persuade students of Naija ancestry to spend time in Naija hospitals instead of South America or even Ghana. Many expressed worries about safety. My hope was that if they spend time in Naija hospitals learning, they might return some day to work, 15, 20 years later?

Nigeria has one of the worst halthcare systems in the world but we have many doctors in Europea and America due to the money and the infrastrucutre. Why can't we go back home and build it?

The post is rubish, yet you congratulated, what a contradiction. It's a pity, but you are a disgrace to humanity!

Who go marry this one? men she is over educated u wont be able to control her. bin gbabo will u take her as ur wife? 8-)
.

She's one very sweet humble girl. She will have no probs being a good wife & mum if that's what she wants.
She's a person NOT a dog to be controlled. Carry your wife along when doing things (and vice versa) and if she's meant to be your life partner, chances are that things will go well.

Remember that intelligence and hard work actually prepare one better for life's challenges.

igbo2011:

Many reasons my brother. Lack of facilities, limited scope to train further, poor remuneration etc.

The effort should be on keeping those trained in Naija to remain there (or to return after post-grad training). They understand the system and can cope with improvisation/poor facilities far better.

Getting western-trained ones to go home is more difficult. To give up an ultra-modern working environment for one that is literally falling apart is tough.

When we get our acts together one day, our highly-trained people (engineers, medics, IT techies, teachers etc) abroad might return to lend a hand.

Great for Chibundu, bad news for Nigeria.

This rather patronizing award doesn't make me proud as a Nigerian. If anything it further underscores everything that is wrong with our educational system. Are we celebrating the world's best student in Nigeria? No, because we haven't made the conditions ideal for students from around the world to come and flourish here. No celebrating for me until the day we start attracting the best white and asian students into this country, now that'll be something worth celebrating not some brain drain award useless to the Nigerian Project.

I'm afraid, this generation may never celebrate what you wished for in so far as this country continues to be led by the likes of GEJ and the legislooters in Abuja. Time was when countless Europeans (e.g. Professor Karin Barber with a PhD from Ife [ http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cwas/barber-karin.aspx ]) came to Nigeria to study under world class academics. Not any more! The quality of manpower and infrastructure, currently, is both pitiable and laughable.

Please don't call her Nigerian. she is a briton with Nigerian decent. when you guys see Nigerian decents doing great you quickly claim them. i bet if you asked the lady involved she will tell you she's english.
