U cannot know more than the head teacher of the school. Cased close. Go and argue with your keypad

Exactly!

The head teacher referred to the 1st black to graduate, so why stretch the truth to claim the first black to attend when the whole world celebrated that feat when it happened in April 1964, when Tokunbo Akintola passed the entrance exam and Dilibe Onyeama failed an exam he had been preparing for since his birth?

Or are the videos, pictures, and archived news from NewYork Times and BBC of that novel event, the work of Lagos Ibadan media?

Did the head teacher also mention Ojukwu of Oxford, such that you are angry at me for correcting that Ojukwu lie by the OP?

I have not disputed Dilibe Onyeama's novel graduation as the 1st black. I have factually exposed the lie by the OP that he was the 1st Black at Eton.

Ojukwu's lie by the OP is even very laughable and should not be repeated in the midst of the intelligent.

No one has disputed the Head Teacher's apology to Dilibe Onyeama, the 1st black student to graduate from Eton.

Historical facts have disputed the OP's false claim that Dilibe Onyeama who is known historically to be the 2nd Black student to enroll at Eton, was the 1st Black to enroll, when the whole world celebrated Tokunbo Akintola, the 1st Black student enrollment at Eton in April 1964, 2 terms before Dilibe Onyema passed the entrance exam he failed the previous year.

I know your tribal pride has been hurt knowing an Igbo boy failed the entrance exam he had been preparing for since birth. More still, you are hurt that a Yoruba boy passed that very exam and was celebrated when he enrolled as the 1st black Student at Eton.

What has been seen cannot be unseen. What has become knowledge cannot be erased from the brain. You are already scarred by a humbling truth.

Your tribal agony, your trauma, your cross. Bear it alone with humility.

Did you enjoy the video of Tokunbo Akintola packing his personal items and preparing for his historic resumption at Eton in April 1964?

Did you also enjoy the video when he eventually arrived at Eton and took pictures with his family?

Did you read the archived NewYork Times report from 1964, on that historic accomplishment in collaboration with your beloved Lagos-Ibadan media?

Not so fast clansman.

The 2 statements of yours in bold above are lies. Don't embellish and confuse the facts of 1st black to graduate/complete at Eton as carefully reported in the news with your own revision of 1st black in/at Eton.

Also, Ojukwu came very late to the African party at Oxford. His attendance there is not historic in any way when many other Africans/Nigerians had clinched the glory when even Ojukwu's father was yet to be born.

https://www.nytimes.com/1964/04/30/archives/first-negro-to-attend-eton-arrives-from-west-nigeria.html

The first Black student at Eton college was Tokunbo Akintola in April 1964, son of SLA Akintola the then Premier of Western Nigeria.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQPm0iDhTUM


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRNOhS1UNPE
(28 Apr 1964) 13-year-old Tokunbo Akintola will be the first Black African boy to attend Eton College. Tokunbo is the son of the Prime Minister of Western Nigeria.


The First Black student at Oxford University was a Creole from Sierra Leone, Christian Cole in 1873.

The first Nigerian to attend Oxford was the first Black woman to attend the School and graduate in 1935, Kofoworola Ademola (nee Moore), the daughter of Eric Olawolu Moore and later wife of Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, the first Nigerian Chief Justice of the Supreme court.

https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2019/03/27/from-lady-ademola-to-carla-peterman-a-history-of-bame-women-at-oxford/


So how does an Ojukwu that graduated from Oxford in 1955, become the first Black/African at Oxford?

When Kofoworola Ademola graduated from Oxford in 1935, the barely 2yr old Ojukwu was still learning how to walk.


This must be IPOB Bureau of Statistics as usual.

Yes! Dilibe was the 1st Black to complete his studies at Eton, but not the 1st Black to attend Eton.

That is why I had to correct the OP who stretched the truth by claiming in his post that I quoted, that Dilibe Onyeama was the 1st black student at Eton. Also lying about Ojukwu being the 1st Black student at Oxford.

But we know Tokunbo Akintola passed his entrance exam at 13yrs while Dilebe Onyeama failed that same year and had to take the exam when he was 14yrs, putting him 1 class behind his Yoruba agemate.

So in April 1964, Tokunbo Akintola became the 1st Black/African student to enroll at Eton, and it was widely reported by foreign media even in the USA.

Tokunbo Akintola's father was killed by Igbo soldiers led by Nwobosi in Jan 1966.

That incident probably led to the young brilliant lad exiting from the school to return to Nigeria or seek cheaper education in Britain.

And when did it become a crime or failure to change schools for reasons beyond academic? Does it mean Ojukwu "dropout" of Kings College in Lagos for the better College he attended in the UK?

What we know for certain is that he accomplished a feat at his 1st attempt where his fellow Nigerian failed while preparing since birth and had to try again 2 terms later, coming up 1 class behind Tokunbo Akintola.
