Last week I wrote about what combined effort of Igbos and yourbas can bring to the table, I wrote about thinking ahead as a nation and consider if it's best to have 2 separate nations who can compete for excellence..
Precisely, I wrote about Republic of Southern Nigeria and Islmaic state of Northern Nigeria.
Unfortunately , my topic was removed by mods despite an educational argument going on.(Thought a platform like this will advance intelligence arguments not tribal Ewars)

Anyway before it was removed, the Main burner was if yourbas can work with igbosand I maintained that this E-war is not taken seriously by learned Igbos and yourbas who understand the strengthnand weakness of each other and know each can benefit heavily with combined effort. I mentioned entertainment, business, academics , sports and even marriages where the combined effort of both tribes have brought success.

Today I bring a story of a teen product of Yourba and Igbo blood. I hope it helps to cease extreme views.

These small innovators are building Nigeria's future with big ideas 01:29
(CNN)One Nigerian teenager must feel like she has the world at her feet after receiving 19 full-ride scholarship offers from universities across the United States and Canada.

Victory Yinka-Banjo, a 17-year-old high school graduate, was offered more than $5 million dollars' worth of scholarship money for an undergraduate program of study, according to admission documents and estimates of financial aid awards.
"It still feels pretty unbelievable. I applied to so many schools because I didn't even think any school would accept me," Victory told CNN, relishing her academic prowess.
Born to Nigerian parents, Chika Yinka-Banjo, a senior lecturer at the University of Lagos, and Adeyinka Banjo, a private sector procurement and supply chain executive, Victory was given potential full scholarships from the Ivy League schools, Yale College, Princeton University, Harvard College, and Brown University.

The teenager told CNN that her multiple scholarship offers "have made me stand taller, smile wider, and pat myself on the back more often."
