Isn't the 'BLEACHER' in Ile Ife palace also a pastor, or something like that?

Biglittlelois:
The U.S went there because of Bin Laden, they've successfully killed him, what else do you want from them? They should keep fighting a war which the Afghans are not willing to fight for themselves? They lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, trillions of dollars, let the U.K do same if they think it is that easy.

Ginuwa was a full blooded Benin when he arrived the present day warri with the eldest sons of all Benin chiefs.

They agreed that the first son of every Ogiame born by his Benin wife should only be crowned. The people of warri has the right to change their tradition without interference from outside forces.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth has honoured Fareedah Oyolola, a secondary school student at Greensprings School, Lagos, as one of the brightest students in the world.

This recognition is a result of her exceptional performance in the advanced School and College Ability Test (SCAT), which every student must undergo in order for the institution to determine their current academic abilities before admitting them into its talent search programme.

Sharing her experience about the test, Fareedah said: “The test was a multiple-choice aptitude test in verbal and quantitative reasoning, and I had to answer 100 questions within 44 minutes! At the end of the test, my score was in the 92nd percentile for verbal reasoning and 87th percentile for quantitative reasoning.

There’s no way I would have gotten these high scores with such a limited time window if not for the great work put in by my teachers, towards developing my comprehension abilities and mathematical reasoning skills. I am very grateful to them.”

In a statement issued by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, the Executive Director; Virginia Roach, congratulated Fareedah and other outstanding students across the world. She said, “We are thrilled to celebrate these students. In a year that was anything but ordinary, their love of learning shined through, and we are excited to help cultivate their growth as scholars and citizens throughout high school, college, and beyond.”

Mrs Magdalene Okrikri, the secondary school principal at Greensprings Anthony campus, also expressed her satisfaction with Fareedah’s honour. She said, “This honour brings great joy to my heart. Fareedah’s achievement is a testament that our Thinking School programme is rewarding to our students, helping them to develop mentally and strengthening their cognitive abilities.”

The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth is an initiative of Johns Hopkins University committed to nurturing extraordinary young minds. Its 2020 – 2021 programme draws nearly 19,000 students from 84 countries. Fareedah and other honourees from other countries are expected to attend a summer programme in the United States or Hong Kong

Hiding?
They killed thousands of US military while hiding

FalseProphet1:
They realise trillions yearly yet Lagos State remains a glorified slum, poor electricity supply, poor road network coupled with frustrating traffic jams, high crime rate, zero human resource development and empower program by the government. Who did Africa offend?

Tinubu will not be APC's presidential flag bearer come 2023.

This I have seen.

nairavsdollars:
Congrats but some of these foreign universities are inferior when compared to Nigeria's universities

ignis:
My exact question.

I want to see his full picture. This one looks like someome that has pot belly oh. Will that one allow him pursue criminals?

This is what I hate about you Africans, always behaving as if the world own you something. How many of Chinese engineers trained by the West? China simply picked up the momentum itself seeing the opportunities beckoning with Western Companies moving their productions to its shores. It is normal for China to have colonial intent with its business exploration in Africa, but how are Africans taking advantage of these opportunities is the question? If Africa failed to capitalize on this to kickstart itself, even North Korea would come here to colonize us in future. Currently Africa has no China problem, i don't like people using this rabble-rousing about China to deflect on the real problem facing the continent. The failures in leaders we have in Africa will continue to play on our intelligence if we don't prioritize our cause of action. How are they ensuring that the presence of Chinese in the continent is beneficial to their people in the long run, not that they are just collecting free loans from China and looking away while the resources of the continent are depleted by their creditor? For instance, Buhari signed a bilateral agreement with China as part of the contract in the recently commissioned lagos-ibadan rail network to build an industrial plant in Ogun state that can manufacture train coaches and other mechanical parts of the locomotive. How are they ensuring that such project seen the light of the day and the margin benefits transfered to the country is the question?

So China is not our problem, how we use our relationship with China is.

Perfectbeing:
No matter the racism of China. It will never be up to what the Europeans did to Africa

pacespot:
Can't you pass your message without being insulting? If you still think of colonialism or slavery in this 21st century, this shows your level of mental capability. This video will tell you everything you need to know about why China is investing heavily in Africa, watch it to upgrade your knowledge.

The summary is China is running out of growth potentials and it is no longer the destination for low-cost manufacturing the way it used to be before. Its middle class populations are increasing, so there is a high wage bill to pay for any manufacturing in the country. Africa on the other hand is one of the least developed areas in the world, for the lowest skills in manufacturing that will attract lowest costs of production, Africa is the best place in the world to invest. Just like China took advantage when the world moved their manufacturing to the country some decades ago, Africa needs to develop its technological capacity using the Chinese presence. The problem is whether Africa can replicate what China did some decades ago by using the technology transfer to kickstart its growth. Don't come back here to blame China or any country in the world for lack of purposeful leadership in Africa who can take advantage of this development.

Actually Chinese are not as racist to Africans like the Caucasians, look at their investments in Africa, would you call those racisms? If they don't love Africa they won't come here to develop those infrastructures. Though Chinese are more racially homogeneous than the Europeans, give it to their strong cultures. But the truth is Chinese don't shy away in showing their displeasure with African lack of leadership and sense of self orientation, that is a big brother stuff to me, someone that tells you the truth even though it is bitter is better than someone that is cheering you while you trace down the path of destruction. I don't judge people by what they say or any rigmarole they are doing, I judge them by their actions, Chinese actions don't show people who hate Africans, they give cheap loans to African countries which some Western media are trying to tag a colonial takeover, how can someone lend you money to develop yourself with no strings attached and you are supposed to believe that such money is evil?
