naijababe:He doesn't have to identify with Nigeria. He is an Ibo boy, maybe not a Nigerian buh he is Ibo. Same way someone can be in America and is Jewish or Arab. That he is there does not erase his roots. I get your disappointment tho 9 Likes |

Most idiots are playing tribalism when the boy probably doesn't even identify with Nigeria and why should he? A country that has killed dreams and rendered the larger percentage of its youth without a bright future due to selfishness, corruption and tribalism. If America exhibits same, the boy probably wouldnt have been able to achieve what he did. So shame on you guys making it all about tribalism. You should be ashamed it took another nation to realise his full potential rather than playing trialism. Forward thinking people, and just maybe then, the Country can start to move forward. |

DPsalmist2: I wrote extensively about this...Yorubaa were never leaders in education in Nigeria. Igbos have always been the leaders in Nigeria from day one...pre colonial, post colonial and post independence. Why did the Igbos occupied most of the choiced technical positions after the colonial whites left? Them Aguiyi and rest of the them? Where do you think Igbo phobia/hate stem from? It stems from the fact that they had advantage by merit as soon as the whites left. Now after the war ended, Igbos were seriously damaged by it, they pulled out from schools because they had no money to pay for universities and secondary schools. Awolowo wickedly appropriated their money, converted it and used it to fund scholarships for Yorubaa...to get them ahead of Igbo ;which he envied for so long and realised the only way Yorubaa can get to the top...above Igbos, was to starve Igbos to death, not enough...also take all their money, and as if that was not enough, he used that to financed scholarships for Yorubas at the same time he was starving Igbos to death. So in a sense, Yorubaa made it to the top fictiously because they never had real competitor in the schools to challenge them. The real competitor and the supposed leader and rightful occupant of that position was the Igbos....who were damaged by the war and have all dropped out from school, resorted in doing business as a means of survival. What Yorubaa failed understand was Igbo parents though mostly in business were seriously building their children back through schools to reclaim that position as the most educated. Before Yorubaa knew what was happening, Igbos have made it back to the top with a very high margin. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Mouthgag: See the highest ever order of ignorance I have witnessed on Nairaland. You call Ivy League schools useless. Akant... Akant take it anymore. Bro/sis, Lagos lagoon is not too far from wherever you are in the world, take a cab/bus/train/plane/jet/rocket, find the longitude/latitue of the middle point of the lagoon and drop into it. You'll be doing the whole world a great favour by taking my advice. |

Good for him. But why you gotta apply to all of them? This thing is just to make the news because you only need to apply to 3 or 4 schools if you aŕe exceptional. I bet he milked that Katrina story to the tilt , admission committees lap up that shxt like Fura de Nunu. Anyway biko pick one quickly and get other candidates off the waitlist. Congrats, dont be a jerk. |

What makes him Nigerian. The story says he joins the long list of LONG ISLAND students - not LAGOS ISLAND students. Does he have a Nigerian passport? Does he have an American passport? Because my name is Samuel Robert don't make me American nor British. BEcause his name is Okonkwo don't make him Nigerian. Yes, Nigerian roots but not Nigerian. Like the UK Parliament terror attacker his real surname was Ajose before he changed it to the muslimm name but because he was Ajose dont make him Nigerian. How would some of us feel cause of our name we are called Aboki or Nna or Yoruba when really its just a name but not really where we come from. The guy is American lets face it and not Nigerian.
