Ruq: 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.

The girl na proper naija babe. With proper polished naija accent. Have you talked to her or seen her in person before?

dani1luv: [size=13pt]Nigeria may be a country in crisis right now, but her citizens are making her proud--especially those in the Diaspora. Two days back we celebrated the achievement of 22 year old Emmanuel Ohuabunwa, news just filtered in that 21 year old Chibundu Onuzo has just been named UK’s Number 1 best black student.

The award was given by Rare Rising Stars. With this award, she is the first woman to top the list.

The 21 year old who got her first book deal at age 19, while still an undergraduate student at King’s College London, (she signed a two novel deal with U.K. publishing heavy weight, Faber & Faber), was also profiled by CNN when Nigeria marked her 50th independence anniversary.

Her latest book “The Spider King’s Daughter has already started garnering critical acclaim. It has been nominated for the £10,000 more and watch a brief video of her after the jump


Desmond Elliott Prize for debut novelists alongside a Booker prize-nominated Oxford professor.

Wishing her all the best in life. This is just a stepping stone to greater things ahead.
Thanks for making us proud!

TOP 65 CHESS PLAYERS IN THE WORLD... PLEASE WHERE ARE THE BRILLIANT AFRICAN STUDENT!!!
Please when will a black man be among the best 20 chess player in the world. With all the amazing GPA score we hear from Nigerian in universities abroad i wonder why the black race is finding it so difficult to break into even the top 50 in chess ranking. Is it that we don't like to THINK? Is it that the only thing African excel in is memorizing? A good memory will get you a strong GPA beyond that ability to think outside the box become critical... no wonder you never hear 20 or 30 years down the line of the extremely brilliant Nigerians ever getting nominated or winning a nobel prize. Beyond my ranting... why are we so awful at CHESS!
