Nigerians making Nigeria proud everywhere they go: 4 Nigerians Emerge Best graduating Students at Dillard University, U.S. They are Geniuses- Michelle Obama (photos & Video) One Nigerian lady and three men were named as best graduating students at the Dillard University, New Orleans, and the U.S.A. The ceremony for 226 graduates was held at the University Auditorium and had the First Lady, Michelle Obama, in attendance. On that evening all eyes were on 20-year-old Merrilyn Akpapuna. The Delta-State-born bright mind has obtained the highest distinction, Summa Cum Laude, in Psychology. The topic of her research project was sexual harassment. Moreover, Akpapuna won an award for highest academic achievements for the College of Arts and Sciences and another one for College of General Studies. She plans her postgraduate study at Western Michigan University this autumn. The graduate, who was also the valedictorian, a student who delivers farewell speech at the ceremony, shared the stage with Michelle Obama. The three other Nigerians are: More photos and watch the video of Michelle's speech below... – Victor Ogburie (Abia State) – Computer Science Major with minors in Physics and Mathematics. Academic award: Salutatorian – Summa Cum Laude; – Stephen Ogidi Igwe (Abia State) – Biology Major. Academic Award: Salutatorian – Summa Cum Laude. – Emole Anya Dimgba (Abia State) – Computer Science Major with minors in Physics and Mathematics. Academic Award: Salutatorian – Summa Cum Laude. Michelle Obama described the graduates of the “historically-black” college as a “sea of young geniuses”, told them they had opportunities and skills that their parents and grandparents never could have imagined. Victor Ogburie-Merrilyn Akpapuna-Stephen Ogidi Igwe-Emole Anya Dimgbadillard She also remembered abducted GGSS Chibok girls, who now suffer only “for wanting an education and wanting to go to school.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ABdv_hrZKmA http://newsflash9ja..com/2015/08/nigerians-making-nigeria-proud.html 16 Likes 1 Share |

Igbo tribalist are really fools.. Let's say those guys are from SW OR NORTHERN part of Nigeria.. They are always the first to shout he or she is Nigeria since the students are part of their tribe they have the gut to call them Igbos and not zoogerians.... May i let the stupid tribalist know that those guys don't give shit about your Biafra.. Most Nigerians from the eastern part of this country NIGERIA who school or reside abroad with future don't give any shit about your Biafra.. I was surprised to see students from my school telling me Biafra is not as strong as people talk about it before.. I argued with them that they don't read comments online. Their reply is whoever wants you die should go and die. It's not a must to be part of Biafra. So nairaland online bigots keep shouting while those nigga give no shit about you. 8 Likes |
