sammyotukoya:
TOM ILUBE, founder of the trailblazing African Science Academy, has today (Oct 25) been named the country’s most influential black person on the UK.

The British Nigerian topped Powerlist 2017, the annual list of the 100 most powerful people of African and African Caribbean heritage in Britain.

Ilube claimed the number one spot for his outstanding work in education where he has demonstrably impacted thousands of lives and for his success in launching several successful technology companies.

The philanthropist set up the charity, African Gifted Foundation, to help transform the lives of hundreds of children on the continent.

This year, he opened the African Science Academy (ASA), Africa’s first girls-only science and technology school, based in Ghana with young women scientists attending from six countries: Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Sierra Leone and Uganda.

The academy is driving Africa's development by inspiring and unleashing the next generation of gifted scientists and engineers and hopes to admit over 200 students a year from across the continent.

Reflecting on his achievements with ASA, Ilube said: “Launching the African Science Academy is the highlight of all my work in education over the past decade. I am convinced that we have brilliant young women in African who have the potential to be tomorrow's world class scientists and engineers."

Ilube is also the Founder and CEO of Crossword Cybersecurity plc and was part of the founding team of pioneering internet bank Egg where he was Chief Information Officer and he persuaded Sir Tim Berners Lee to serve as an adviser to his company Garlik.

fratermathy:

whitebeard:

Do you mean that you know of him, he's well-known and influential but all this while you didn't realize he was Nigerian? Or do you mean that this very ordinary looking individual is of an appearance too exceptional in your estimation to be Nigerian?

Keneking:
Igbo's are indeed doing very well

He has nothing to do with Igbo. He has Esan ancestry.

davtosh:
This is a Yoruba Man. Ilube means the drum don tear.
And taking a very keen look at his head I can't see any flat area.
" Drum don tear"well don jare my kingsman .

He's not Yoruba either. His name is Tom Iluobe. Ilube is just a corruption of Iluobe.

He is from Uromi, Edo state. His father has filling station s all over Nigeria.

I see Steve Jobs...

Keneking:
Igbo's are indeed doing very well

Una don start. Why are you laying claim to a man who is NOT Igbo??

You have just shot yourself in the foot. Provide proof that the chap is an Igbo man, before we can believe you...

aim5:

He has nothing to do with Igbo. He has Esan ancestry.

Tell dem, oh! They are already assigning a different ethnicity to the man. I don't know when he applied to change his ancestral identity..
