@Nigerians ar very intelligent(the igbos in particular)

Wole soyinka na IBO

What da heck. . .
International Business Studies is the pseudo name of the course.
He studied international drug trafficking

its worth congratulating. He was overall best. Give kudos when due pls

This is a solo effort. When he started, I doubt if he got any recognition/support from Nigerian Govt.

this bobo no well, na wetin dey kill iGbos be that, tribalism, tchippps

@   s@mi

Thank you for knowing wetin wey dey kill igbos

This is rebranding without the jamboree form the FG. One of the very rare occassions Nigerians will be in the news positively. Nigeria will survive.

So because he's Nigerian he should study in Nigeria? Study where in Nigeria anyway? Has ASUU called off?

arise o compatriots,

Sefago and Sagamite should be cautioned on how they trade and sniff out words to each other, here is not an arena to take things personal by antagonizing each other. Letz be mature enough to argue out our intelligence and give credit to whom it due. A nigerian in a foreign university has just won an award, let us commend his effort and look for ways to encourage others both home and abroad.

Well done Jairus.




ogidiolu

Thank God he is not in Nigeria else he would still be at home while the strike lasts.Jairus has done it.abeg congratulate am as he don make Nigeria proud

This is good news. At least something good do still come out of Nigeria. I guess if this guy was in the news because of a vice, it would have made headlines. Greater things come to us when we are grateful for small mercies. God bless Nigeria.

happy 4 him

Wonderful news. Good boy Jairus.

Why shud we be happy when we all know that he/she will not use it to gain employment in Nigeria so no need to congratulate the person.

i congratulate all 9jarian out there, just keep it up

u be IBo or Yoruba or Hausa, all na de same pence e penny, don't worry just be happy.

Figuratively speaking, that expression is wrong, you cannot argue out intelligence.

Sefago and Sagamite should be cautioned on how they trade and sniff out words to each other

I agree, but this thread is boring anyways so why not spice it. Everyone is just saying congratulations, or no congrats and give their reasons, who cares, the guy has graduated and doesn't evn know you exist. . I dont blame the person who mentioned her degree from Europe, she was trying to focus on herself, wetin concern her with the person who achieved in Mexico.

@Nchara, that yours was not celebrated does not discount the fact that you both achieved something great!!!

W need all the celebration to bring us out of this mess. , any celebration at all

Nigeria: great people bad nation,

Nigeria: great people bad nation, lol

Whoa MEXICO snap!!! the places that nigerians go to study is amazing,
How did he end up studying there i wonder!!!

I dont care if s/he schooled at my grandmother's backyard, for coming out best and being a nigerian, I am proud of you. Well done

my Comment is just my comment, i mean damm Nigerians do go
through some serious lengths to school abroad!!! I mean Cancumm for
crying out loud!!!
What happened to a bit up north ie USA/Canada,

another hail Igbo thread?

Igbos are shining so much within the past one week.

Glory glory.


Mexico is where its at now, after China.

SEFAGO:

I do have to agree, with the culture shock and everything, well not mediocrity persay, but neither excellence. Excellence is Chinua Achebe, non-excellence is the rest of us 

non-excellence is you, you mean.

non-excellence is you, you mean.

yeah, think what you want

SEFAGO:

yeah, think what you want

just learn to quantify your personal experience instead of generalizing, thats all.

As I said, think what you want, doesn't really matter, the truth remains the truth no matter what

LOL.


SEFAGO, you should also understand that success varies. People view certain things as success depending on their life experiences.
For someone who has always been extremely smart, making a B would not be celebrated or seen as a success. But someone who's had D or F averages for so long will see getting a B as a success.

Don't give me that "Chinua Achebe is excellence" talk. Yeah, he excelled in literature but what does have to do with me? lol. I'm sure Chinua can't fly a plane as that isn't his field. Excellence shouldn't be measured by one variable alone. If I achieve something that was previously unattainable, then it's a freaking success to me.

brilliant point chiogo, so by Nigerian standards the mexican guy did marvelously well. Congrat to the guy. And the guy who made 500 naira since he started selling pure water, but made his first 1000 naira one day is a freaking success  .


Ok if you didn't see the sarcasm  , but excellence has only two charcateristics, "significant and difficult to achieve," the unattainable to someone is called personal success (like the example I gave you above)

Regardless, I am always very happy when Nigerians do well, I just feel we should have higher standards a bit. I know everything I say would be attacked, but my reasons are justified; the way I say it maybe brash and caustic.

By the way, Chinua Achebe is prolly the most famous african, from my experience, and i am not ibo so no bias. I also proudly boast of Okonjo iweala even if no one has heard of her.

LoL, some of you guys live in a dream world
O,k so they guy was the best student in Mexico
Good for him!!!
Untill he transfers that Book Knowledge into Economic Profit
in Nigeria its just another Intellect on the Long Shelf
of Degree Holding Nigerians with no substantial impact
to the economy in Nigeria,

wow that's impressive
i agree with u aloyemeka CNN will never carry positive news but will never fail to carry the negative ones. but I guess that goes with most news media.
