When the jealous speaks.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's no jealousy. That's a fact!
Unfortunately, it's just beyond your level of reasoning

ppogba:

Hope no be that jamb Mmesoma be this sha

IGBO pride

What's her score in Igbo language?

The Answer is on Google . Anofia

oskopy:
Igbo to the world.congratulations pretty Angel, you are not only intelligent but beauty personified.

Please why is Anambra State not anything like Cambridge in the basic common utilities and services that are taken for granted by Britons?

Things like free education for all children in quality schools with adequate professional teachers and other staff who are well paid to work in appropriate classrooms, libraries, labs, playgrounds etc?

Streetinvestor2:
Nothing special to this for me
That is white man language and adds not value to problem solving. Why are the white not having the same achievements in our local language. You go surprise she can't even speak igbo language fluently. To me Nothing special

Kill envy and jealousy in your life

Booty4ker:

What is Worldwide Best ?
Is Cambridge a Worldwide Exam

If she was best in Cambridge Congratulations to her

But How many people actually take the exam in the World or even in Nigeria to be talking about Worldwide best

Did she not take WAEC or NECO?

Was she Best in any of those

Also the News said TOP and English as a second Language

That means it did not apply to students taking English as a First language which sounds fraudulent to me. Nigerians should be taking English exams alongside those for whom it is a FIRST language not second language

We need some clarification on what TOP means in the context of this award.

It all sounds very funny to me.

When did this so called award start ? What year ? and who are the previous Winners.

GCSE level English is not such a big deal . A well Grounded Nigerian would score 100% in any Objective type English Test . I know because I did. AT AGE 14 and so when you say TOP you would be talking about dozens if not hundreds of people

English in Nigeria used to be down to social class i.e which school you went and where you grew up. There is nothing to celebrate in mastering another person's language.

Excellent question and thanks for asking it.

I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.

The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.

He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world

Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.

Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.

With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.

When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.

The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.

Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest
I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.

Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?

Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?

That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’

Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.

Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!

This is not about being a Killjoy
Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.

His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.

Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.

Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.

Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?

The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.

While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.

For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.

I’d imagine we do not aspire to be Somalia.

Rubbish! Absolute nonsense.

Why do we like to give out wrong information in this part of the world? She’s not the overall best in English and to even think she did the simpler syllabus which is English as a second language. We have many schools in Nigeria that only do pure English and not as a second language.

hope this mmesoma didnt hack the result website too

Karlovych:
Igbo amaka, hope the result wasn't conjured at Okija shrine like the other Mmesoma

What's her grade in Igbo language?

From AI

Over 576,000 students across 147 countries worldwide sat for Cambridge exams, including Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint, Cambridge IGCSE and O Level, and Cambridge International AS & A Level exams in the June 2023 series.

Cambridge has English and English as a second language. She did English as a second language which is very simple compared to the main English.

Congratulations!


Mmesoma. Wasn't it also the name of the girl who had one of the highest scores in Jamb or WAEC (not sure) in 2020 but passed from cancer shortly after?

Still recall her story once in a while. Very sad.

This is tne Mmesoma we know

Congratulations to her.
More grease to her elbow.

From AI

From AI does not make it true

It is not intelligent to cite that as a fact

Also you are selective in your very quick search

How many people of that Number took ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

What exactly does that mean? Is there a different category for those for Whom it is NOT?

Also what does TOP mean does it mean only 1 person? 10 People , 100 people or What?

If 100 people take an exam and 5 score 100% they are TOP

The story said TOP

why is that being spun as WORLDWIDE Best

Do they do the exam in America ? Finally and most important

HOW MANY NIGERIANS TOOK THE EXAM


I ask all these questions because I live in England. My kids schooled here . I never got anything less than 100 % in English from primary school to secondary school. So the concept of a worldwide best is fiction

At best you score 100% and many people will too!! It is no big deal

Look at how I write English and that should be effortlessly evident

Let us stop the bull shit

geoworldedu:
Check below for some top in the world awards

Check below for what exactly? What are you communicating to me with that information
Is Top in the World the same thing as WORLDWIDE BEST

DesChyko:
Yet, you said all these in the white man language.

Use your brain.

He is writing in “the white man language” because it is the lingua franca.

That can be changed. You are an African. Your people will not speak the “white man language” in perpetuity.

Cool. This is a different version of Mmesoma, not the other one. Lol

It is really very annoying and frustrating

Nigeria is a commonwealth country

At GCSE level English is NOT a second language. It is a Native language


Somehow some low self esteem semi literate OMATAS are trying to spin TOP as WORLDWIDE BEST when in actual fact TOP would ordinarily mean Top 5 or 10 centile. GCSE is never marked in such a way as to identify overall best. I have never heard that before
