Henry Akahara - The London Debate Gold Medalist by coi: 6:23pm On Apr 11, 2008
Can someone tell me why it is difficult for people to identify with success?
I think the young boy that won the world-class youth debate at the British House of Commons, London, United Kingdom needs recognition that goes beyond all the write-ups and his face appearing on the newspapers.
Worse still,  the story of his success has been lacking in the foreign news – they prefer to discuss the negative things about Nigeria.  This young man beat about 200 students from 60 countries for crying loud and to say that he is a product of a public school.
My people, we need to give kudos to this great achiever or what do you think?

a 15 year old boy is swimming for his country in the Olympics, why isn't the Nigerian media writing about it angry
i'm sure everyone had enough of the corruption stories!!

foreign news for foreign nations
if you want them to tell good stories you have to pay them, its called advertisement or something like that grin


funny thing is most people in nigeria don't even know the guy,
or they are waiting for a foreign journalist to talk about him?
