You can't just be made a professor because you're intelligent. Work must be done. Breakthrough research and all that.
It's not easy, bruh.

Reports says she was born in Nigeria. She has a published article on "How Lessons from Nigerian Villages Can Creatively Empower Communities to Assist Low-Income, Single Mothers In America,”

How many times you people wan beat chest on this old news? This news should be close to 2 yrs on NL. This one has even turned it to avenue to abuse Yoruba girls. grin.
You people sleep online everyday looking for news to drop here so it could turn to a chestbeating party, but since it's hard to find such news, you recycle old news or package unworthy news to make it look like some big achievement.
Lies, propaganda, fake news, false information etc all these, so as to find something to chestbeat on.
When I see Igbo amaka these days, I just hiss and move on. It's gradually becoming a slogan people shout after successfully pissing in the toilet.

One thing I just know is, when you chestbeat on any news, I'm always sure there are more Yoruba pioneers, who have achieved same/similar things way before, that no one chestbeated about it.
Petty chestbeaters! grin

If you bothered to read the first word of what you quoted, you will get the point. Saying foolishness does not equate to smartness.

I said, "Reports", clearly quoted by you. Not this article. Okay.


Dehlia Umunna is an outstanding Nigerian-born American lawyer and lecturer who is a Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.

You should be telling the OP that not me. And secondly, I still stand by what I said : she is not a nigerian...at least not in the true sense of the word.

I think there are some Igbo NLanders who sleep online everyday looking for news to drop here so it could turn to a chestbeating party, but since it's hard to find, they recycle old news or false news or repackage unworthy news to make it look celebratable.

When I see Igbo amaka these days, I just hiss and move on. It's gradually becoming a slogan people shout after successfully pissing.

Lies, propaganda, fake news, false information etc just to be able to chestbeat.

One thing I just know is, when you people post and chestbeat on news like this, I'm always sure there are some more Yorubas who have achieved same things way before.


Hey, do watch your mouth before spewing biased and myopic statements.
I only said Igbo amaka to proselytize the Igbo race to the world. What she did is outstanding and there is no crime in celebrating her for it, be you Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba.


Fyi, I'm a Yoruba by the way.

Don't be fooled. They sleep online everyday so as to find things to spite others. Most of their threads like this are created with wrong motives - to chestbeat, to spite others, bigot/hate and to boost their inferiority complex. That is why whenever they couldn't get news, they create false thread or recycle old threads for the sake of chestbeating.

It's already becoming a nuisance on NL. This their petty antics is beginning to suck.
