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.

Make Nigeria Proud Again!!!





Because they are trying to identify, celebrate and encourage hardworking black people.

If they do a list of all students in general (regardless of colour) it's possible you won't find that many black students, talkless of Nigerians. You might see more Asians and whites mostly

calcal:
Black people like to cram too much that's why they are not getting anything reasonable from it.

Lies. Don't be surprised if Nigeria makes top 10 or 5 self. See, na for our house here our potential dey look like waste o.

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

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

I don't emotions. The English Language is what I deal in, amongst others. You should learn from this pen-god.

After "SIMPLETON", a fullstop comes next, not a comma.
It's "LMAO", not "lmao". All abbreviations are typed in uppercase letters.

I'm being patient with you so you'd learn. The very patience the woman who birthed you lacked when she dumped you at age two after your cerebral palsy diagnosis.

Dimwitted dyslexics like you embarrass coys with your poor writing skills. Even when your life depends on it and your reputation is on the line, all your replies on this thread are riddled with grammatical blunders.

You keep playing Russian Roulette with articulation but you are firing blanks.

May your life continue to be more empty than a blank paper!
May as many calamities as the binary representation of your username befall you at every turn!

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

Stories, jare ! Most northerners as we all know mostly went to univer in the UK. I can list many politicians and non-politicians kids than I personally knew were my classmates. Mu'azu Aliyu, former Niger State governor's son (was governor then) , same with Nasir abdullahi Adamu (former nasarawa governor) and a host of others who were my friends.
It's only of few that go to Saudi to school, and Cairo has a handful of northern kids. You didn't even mention China which has the largest amount of northern kids as students in Universities abroad. Turkey has them, Cyprus too.
It's China in terms of highes admissions, and then Uk. So what excuse were you trying to make ?
Let's just say they aren't that competitive or don't willingly participate in competition's and what not.

I was actually comparing the no btw those that go to Western world and Asian universities

according to the 2011 Census, the total population of England and Wales was 56.1 million, and 86.0% of the population was White
people from Asian ethnic groups made up the second largest percentage of the population (at 7.5%), followed by Black ethnic groups (at 3.3%), Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups (at 2.2%) and Other ethnic groups (at 1.0%)

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

Naughtysex:

South South people rarely help themselves to be great
Especially when it comes to the issue of helping ourselves to cross over to the country where you are

Once an igbo man cross into another country, to bring his brothers in will be his next plan

That's what am saying brother
Another tribe i so much love when it comes to helping themselves is Southwest

But South South? forget it
