Why are Northerners not represented
Abeg when it comes to anything merit, give it to Southerners.

Most Northerners go to middle east universities like King Abdulazeez university jedda, Egyptian universities, Qatar, UAE, Turkey, Iran etc.... As I chat u, two of my nephews are currently studying medicine and Computer Engineering in a Malaysian and Kuwait universities respectively

Good one

Nigeria got brains.

5 Young Nigerians Make List of Most Brilliant Black Students in UK, One of Them Attended UNN


Rising Stars, an annual publication, that picks out top students in the UK has come up with a list of top 10 brilliant black students in the UK.

Out of the pack, there are five Nigerians on the list. These are people whose years of academic records really speak for themselves.

In this report, Legit.ng will be looking at these five Nigerians and what they have done.


1. Folu Oguneye When she was in Cambridge, Folu was a mentor to other students who wanted to come into the university.

Despite the financial burden her family was facing, she was able to balance work with schooling.

At A-level, the lady was able to get multiple distinctions, a feat that saw her getting a place at the University of Cambridge. She is now the CEO of Vamos Careers with a team of six.


2. Hope Oloye Hope was a precocious child. At the age of 13, she attended a lecture on neuroscience at the University College London.

That lecture made her fall in love with neuroscience and no wonder that was what she would study later at the University of Oxford.

She was among 300 people selected for the much-coveted fully funded Junior Research Fellowship at New York University.

3. Khadija Owusu grew up in the UK. In March 2012, she was invited to the White House by the then-American first lady, Michelle Obama for the exceptional essay she had written about her mother.

When she was in her third year at the University of London, she co-founded a charity called Melanin Medics.

The aim of the organisation was to give more voice to black and Caribbean students in the medical profession. The organisation later got £20,000 (N11,382,088.17) from the British Medical Association.

4. Nwangele Godwin (Emeka) Chukwuemeka Emeka who was born in Jos did his first degree at the University of Nigerian Nsukka (UNN) where he later finished as the best graduating student.

After series of achievements, he became a Rhodes scholar and went ahead to study for his masters in energy systems at the University of Oxford.

He has together with Enugu State Scholarship Board created Coal City Fellowship.

5. Segun Afolaranmi The young man grew up in Lagos. His parents are petty traders. Segun is not only good with books, but he is also an amazing public speaker.

After secondary school, he took his A-Level in biology, physics, and chemistry where he had straight As and got admission into the University of Ibadan.

During his graduation from school, he got over 30 awards for his excellence. He is the co-founder of a youth-based organisation called The Ganglion Initiative. He later got a Clarendon scholarship for his masters at the University of Oxford.

I didn't see the other terrorist tribe here ooo. Keep taking getting University admission without Waec nor jamb. And keep making IPOB ur priority. Mumu people!!

Anytime I see a thread for celebrated academic genius home and abroad....I already know they are yoruba...no other tribe can achieve that fit in Nigeria or africa

Macsjebs:
Great, but when will we cease to use terms like - 'black', I mean wasn't necessary adding that, just say students and maybe add their nationalities

Stop this Racism mentality,there is nothing wrong in calling them black,I am sure they chose black race when they wanted to fill the form online

how many northerners are in uk?

This is how your enslavement happens today and if you're happy about that, then stop asking; why did our ancestors allow themselves to be enslaved by Britain? Our ancestors were not dumb, they were as "smart" as these five people.

Some years back, I warned Africans in advance about this sort of gimmick after Britain exit the European union. They cannot survive outside the EU, so they must recolonize their former colonies. I made it clear this is what Britain will resort to after exiting the EU. If you want to know what this's all about, see it's time to abolish the commonwealth https://www.africason.com/2016/08/its-time-to-abolish-commonwealth-of.html?m=1

I no nwangele very well in unn. Electronic engineering first class 2015 set

And when they come back, they end up as terrorist apologists or even sponsors of terrorism while they study.

Northerners name only come in bandit business kidnapping, tramadol.cowlanders

One thing i know is southerners are the face of nigeria but disagreement between igbos and yorubas is the reason fulani is oppressing everybody in this country. When i saw 5 nigerians in UK i know Yoruba will dominate but an Igbo person must be there.

As a deltan i know if there will be any south south man then he or she must be deltan. My south south brothers depend only on oil but look at igbos and yorubas taking education and business very serious.

But the truth is in the whole country ofthe world igbos dominate except UK.

I pray we southerners will one day reason and act like brothers

This is the same perspective view I have too bro, if the Yoruba and Igbos (other Southern tribes) has been together things would have been different.

No quota system here. Just pure brains and competence. Love it

Wow

They all do well when they're outside Nigeria

.

Which means that,it is actually the system that is problematic & not the innocent Nigerian youths.
Instead of our bubu to accept & apologize, he is accusing the youths of being lazy.

How is someone named Khadija Owusu a Nigerian? That should be a Ghanaian, or is Owusu her husband's name?

Because the Left and the mainstream media play racial and identity politics and it's a tool which has been weaponised to create divide for selfish gains.

Because race hustling is big business and there are people who feed off it. For example, the director of Black Lives Matters who has been buying luxury houses with BLM donations.

Because there are people whose only claim to fame is race and social justice warrior. Several.

Even Chimamamda gained fame in the West by playing identity politics and race hustling but she has toned it down now.

Well, it all depends on the country to give out such types of data

Where are Adamu Adamu, Muhammed Muazu and Kyari Lawan
