NyamiriFlathead: Here is the problem why Nigeria can never be one. When one man see's his fellow Nigerian man and next thing that comes out of his mouth is, "He's an Hausa man or He's Yoruba or He's IPob". The more dis is still in large percentage of Nigerians we can never be one. Is reflective in politics, where you want to vote you turn tribalistic... Pew... |

StaffofOrayan: If you also read further you would have read where it was said that the parent got housing and now has a job. The young son is now known to the world all in the space of 4yrs they have spent in the US. In all honesty if they had remained in Nigeria, would they have achieved this? Does Nigeria even have a stable chess tournament to brew talents as this? 2 Likes |

Futureyahooboi: Let them mention tribe....am sure if it were you're tribesmen you would have done the same....we were tribes before the british came along and no one can force nationalism on others simply because they feel inadequate. |

Congrats to this young man.... Yoruba's tend to have higher IQ's compared to most other parts of nigeria, it's clearly evident for even the blind....but the problem starts when you merge a group of ethnically smart people with those with intellectual difficulties.... disaster happens when they start breeding together. It's why I support a Yoruba ethno-state. |

BassReeves:you are right and wrong. In the hands of a good player and the right opportunity, a pawn can become a queen. But not here in Nigeria, where such opportunities are very rare and elusive even in the hands of a chess master. |

Congratulations to the chess prodigy and his family; it's all about Grace! Anyways, a lot of comments on this thread are disappointingly filled with sentiments, bigotry and parochialism. Someone asked for the point of celebrating this achievement as a national or tribal victory, and the person is being literarily attacked. It makes one wonder if the attackers are intelligent or are just delusionally selfish. Let it be clear it's the gain of the boy,his family and the U.S.A. some baseless comments like " so and so tribe is sophisticated", "my country people are great achievers once outside the country" are all gibberish rhetorics. It's necessary that we build our society in a fair and just manner, for it to be favourable to each and everyone in all aspects of life. it's the only way for us to harness and optimise our full potential. Magnus Calsen didn't have to run away from Norway before he was recognised as a grandmaster and world champion. Compare his circumstance to that of Oladapo Adu, who represented this country and was stranded in Ivory Coast for four month because the sporting federation couldn't support him. https://www.nairaland.com/5965533/oladapo-adu-stranded-cote-divoire #nuffsaid |
