A young Nigerian lady has made a landmark in the United States of America by becoming one of the youngest PhD holder in history.
Against all odds, Christine Izuakor graduated with a PhD in Security Engineering and became the youngest and first ever African American at her university to achieve that feat at 24!
According to her, in the same year, she became the Vice President and co-founder of Gen Trend at United Airlines.
She has also been published in numerous international journals, and traveled to 19 cities across 10 countries – all while working a full-time job on the cyber security team of a Fortune 100 company, in which she recently received a promotion.
She said: “I started my PhD program at age 23 and at the time was told I was too young, too naive and too inexperienced to contribute anything to my industry. But, I stood by my dream and turned doubt into motivation.
“To anyone who has been taught that it’s unrealistic to dream, I assure you that it’s indeed okay to dream big. With hard work and dedication, we can defy all odds and shatter ceilings. Dare to dream, and be brave enough to execute.”
She posted: “In the last 12 months I became…
– A PhD graduate
– CISSP Certified
– Promoted Senior Security Analyst
– Promoted Vice President of a United BRG
– Head, Editor of ILDC Editorial Board
– Year Up Mentor
– Published in three International Journals
– Guest Speaker at events/conferences
– Traveled 10 countries
– Survived the greatest heart break of my life
– Fell in love with myself
– Up’d my investment
– Inspired thousands of dream BIG”

My good friend Ikenna

Nigerian Ikenna Uzoije graduates with cum laude from one of the top 5 Engineering College in the US (link: http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2016/05/nigerian-ikenna-uzoije-graduates-with.html) lindaikejisblog.com/2016/05/nigeri…

Phenomenal actor, loved his calm, poise, and poetic flair in the movie classic saworoide(sp)...RIP baba.

OkoYibo:









About 12 hours ago, I asked the Igbo posters to mention one single Igbo entrepreneur not engaged in crime. Sadly, not a single Igbo poster in a forum of almost 2 million members could mention a single legit Igbo entrepreneur without a criminal history.

I guess I'll have to open a thread on most notable criminals in Nigeria so that my brothers on the erosion-plagued side of the Niger can feel a sense of belonging.

I don't want any slate-headed Biafran squirrel to start crying on the this beautiful thread like a bushbaby that Yorubas marginalized them on a thread about achievements.

You must think everyone is as jobless as you to open silly threads upandan, criminals and successful people abound in every damn demography and people, so nobody gives a fu.ckk about any sense of belonging or trash validation much less from a yoruba who is so obsessed with Igbo affairs in a yoruba thread.. Are you guys these cursed? Get a real life job and stop obsessing about people that can buy you, your entire family, and swap your entire lineage for a couple of change, you are probably a fraudster yourself so stfu and stop your incessant whining...lots of Igbos and yorubas are doing great both home and abroad, 11 of the best graduating students in Chemical Engineering majors from the University of California Los Angeles 2017 class were Igbos and yorubas, same for lots of top institutions all over the states...stop stupid competitions and be more useful to your life so others can celebrate you too.

Yyeske:
You are Fulani, quite lieing.

How Onitsha sef, I'll be visiting there soon

Yyeske:
I guess you're new here, I'm an Igbo man based in Onitsha, I have nothing to do with Lagos aside some relatives and friends there.
You may love IPOB miscreants but I hate them.
Are you outside Igboland within Nigeria, better start moving back because I have no time for RIP

You're not Igbo...quit lying.

OkoYibo:
There's one thing I noticed in this thread, they're all legitimate entrepreneurs without blemish.

Igbo businesses on the other hand are actually fronts for crimes. One reason why their taxes are insignificant is because the money they make from their legitimate business is very little compared to their proceeds from crime.

If you think I'm lying,
Coscharis. - Money Laundering
Capital Oil. - Theft, fraud, subsidy scam
Arthur Eze. - Contract scam, bribing judges
Innoson. - Fraud, Tax evasion, impersonation
Emeka Offor - Oil fraud, contract scam

I dare any Igbo poster here to mention a single notable Igbo businessman in Nigeria without criminal records.

You better provide your evidence to this baseless accusations, have any of them been prosecuted for the mentioned crimes? I've now come to the conclusion that yorubas are the biggest id.iots on planet earth, so the likes of Adenuga, Alakija, Otedola etc got their wealth from clapping "praising the lord always" in church abi? Bloody propaganda spewing bas.tard, who dey compete with una, why not focus on your yoruba delusional Self-Service fest without dragging Igbos in your crap

Left for me ...this Biafran struggle should just be about uniting our Igbo kith and kin across the South South,Middle belt and other parts of Nigeria, I now subscribe to the potency of IPOB...if not for anything else but the far reaching and commendably effective efforts made to promote the oneness of Ndigbo from Delta, Rivers, and Benue(especially as an enlightening measure to the clowns that think Igboland is restricted to just the rubbish artificial 5 states the FG forced on us in order to weaken Ndigbo, that chain is finally broken...you can't weaken blood cause it will always be thicker than deceitful artificial boundaries)...Igbo interest should and must come first before any other...any non Igbo minority group in the so called South South that want to align their interest with ours are very much welcome, but the terms of consideration before invitation will be very strict and clear...YOU ARE EITHER IN OR OUT, NO ONE LEG IN ONE LEG OUT.

deomello:



Why the needless essay?


You said Yoruba people lie and I asked you to show us proof, but you still couldn't. Just admit your error and quit dancing around needlessly.


You are of course confused because you posted the same essay a million times.

Okay yorubas don't lie, they are too perfect for all that, happy now?

deomello:




No, you made the allegation so the burden is on you to prove your lies with facts.


You are a liar hence your inability to come up with even a face saving proof.

Lol okay dude I'm confused af right now, how I'm I a liar when you don't know me or my accomplishments? What exactly do you want me to prove to you? oh you want me to create a 100 page thread of why Igbos are this or that? every of that information is obtainable on the internet so why waste my time culling up stats on the achievements of others when I'm striving to be better so I can be a positive statistic myself? Igbos are great in their respective endeavours ditto yorubas, what I won't do however is mudsling myself in baseless comparisons on who is doing better than who..ain't none of my business, Nairaland is a minefield of exaggerations so when an Igbo here claims Igbos own 70% of properties in Lagos or Kano..maybe he learned that from his yoruba counterpart who once claimed yorubas are so impeccably perfect and sophisticated that they have no criminals, fraudsters, corrupt leaders etc..and it applies to all and sundry whether Yoruba" Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw etc...as everyone wants to project these "my tribe is better than yours" superiority bullshyt...when the average Yoruba man is hungry on the street seeking a better life, same as an Igbo, Hausa and the rest...and your leaders keep keeping you in a box of delusion, suffering and mediocrity, what exactly do you want me to prove? Okay yorubas are the best in the world, they are so perfect that even heaven marvels at their unrivalled perfection...happy now?

deomelo:



You said Yoruba people lie without facts to support your assertion with so I asked you to show us where they lied to you or anywhere on NL.


On the other hand, I can prove that you people like with facts here on NL.


Funny enough, even that assertion was nothing but another lie which again reflects the fact that all you people do is lie lie lie lie.


Stop LYING.

By all means please lay out your facts and stop boring me with your trash

Obi1kenobi:


I've been on Nairaland long enough to know that in these e-wars, Igbos are easily the biggest aggressors. Igbos vs Yorubas (the main one); Igbos vs SS people; Igbos vs Middle Belt people; Igbos vs core Northerners (2nd after Igbos vs Yorubas). Your unruly arrogance constantly puts you at odds with other groups. The Igbo/Yoruba battle that has overrun this forum for years, even though Yorubas contribute their fair share to the vile climate, is far more bitter on the Igbo side. If you didn't feel the need to constantly tell the world how you're the bestest human beings ever to walk the earth, other groups may find you more tolerable.

Again you are riding on falsehood, the very foundation of tribal insults started on the Yoruba side as way back as 2008, then we have more hardcore yoruba e-warriors than Igbos, I remember cause I used to be active on a docile measure then...Igbos were relatively few in here and we had veterans like OnlyTruth and Ezeuche who always fought off a relentless horde of yoruba bitter souls like Dayokonu, Bkbabe and a host of others I can't remember now...then it wasn't rare to see yorubas call Igbos disgusting names and nothing happens but when the few Igbos responded back, they got banned or their come back insults censored by Seun and his preponderance of yoruba mods at the time... unfortunately the truth is lost in the archives if these forum...but those who know the truth will always say the truth. It was only around 2009 that unbridled Yoruba social media hate against Igbos gave rise to more awareness and a bigger influx of Igbos to NL, now that the ethnic bias Seun displayed then has reduced considerably, the result is that it has played out into an even battlefield of endless ethnic insults from both ends...only difference between now and then is we have more Igbos now who won't take any shyt than we did in the hay days of NL.

Bekwarra:

If they had someone like Otunba Gaddafi in their region, they wouldn't be celebrating the commissioning of toilets.
Only in Alaigbo will a governor be commissioning a feeling station while the fools go about ranting Stanel everywhere. Olafat in Ibadan is not your Stanel's mate kill yourself.

Una no dey shame, na pioneering of toilets dey make una vibrate like this? Chei Nigeria is a joke

mercyville:

The only export of Igbos to the SW.
Who mines skull like a cannibal?Go munch your baby factory and stop disgracing your fellow cannibals.

Blah blah blah..same ol' recycled line, come up with something new abi badoo grinding stone don smash creativity comot for your skull?

deomelo:
[s][/s]



Show us the lie and the topic is here on NL, not Tinubu even though I know you jokers see Tinubu in your sleep.


Show us the lie or STFU and get lost with your warped rubbish.

I don't get it what lies do you want me to disprove or prove? you said yourself that yorubas don't lie, so the burden of proof is to back up with facts not propaganda or noise

deomelo:




I know for a fact that we don't lie or make dumb, ignorant, false and wild claims on NL and if you have any shred of evidencce that we do, please show us or keep quiet.


Again, all you people do is lie lie lie lie and it's all because of your crude, crass, shallow and empty thinking topped of with low self esteem and insecurity.

Yeah yorubas don't lie, that's why they have produced immaculate leaders like Tinubu, Obasanjo and the rest, guy just fu.ckk off with your shallow delusions abeg

deomelo:



You are free to defend yourself, but not with lies, fraudulent claims and 419 info like you people perpetrate all the time.


All you people do is lie lie lie lie all over the place.

And yorubas are exempted from all those vices abi? Nyggah GTFOH, you use falsehoods to come at me for doing likewise, nobody holy pass abi? We only playing your game back, reverse psychology...if yorubas claim most sophisticated while demonizing us, we have every right to trash any yoruba attempt to come at us sideways, stay in your lane while I stay in mine is the way to go...but you worthless rodents literally flock to every thread about Igbos or Biafra.

Obi1kenobi:
This thread perfectly encapsulates the reasons in Achebe's words "Nigerians would come to no other common consensus other than their common hatred for the Igbo man". And weirdly, many Igbos here seem to delight in creating resentment just to overcome their inferiority complex. Vulgar arrogance is a tragic flaw among Igbos that makes me ashamed quite often to be Igbo.

So its inferiority complex when Igbos defend themselves against the irreducible idiots that proliferate this forum with tribal insults at them right?

totit:


All i asked is a very simple question but take a look at unnecessary junk and stories you pull up there while sweating under your aba T-shirt.

Like serious! You want to reorientate me with facts but all you could come up with is Ogbeni look around you and see the facts for yourself...

You level of reasoning is obviously low. Thou you tried so hard to appear intelligent.

Like WTF.

You are too forward , do you want to learn some fatcs or not? I'm only psyching you up, been the low IQ belligerent that you are, a typecast of unbred yoruba filth, relax and ask me nicely to tame you with facts.
