This guy is now part of the American system that will make America greater but can we see any one in Iran that became a professor even at 25 years and they're feeling funky ....
their goal is to fight for Allah and kill others

When you see sick person you don't need to look far to see where the inspiration comes from

So Ms baba na your source of backlash to Islam
No. The signature of Islam is seen all over the world. Destruction, maiming, illiteracy, backwardness, hate, wickedness, acidic relationship with others.

A curse on humanity.

Did you read the article?
Is the boy a professor?
Or is he just a lecturer of a course?
I'm not the cause of whatever you might be passing through. Now go back and read/reread the article or use Google to help yourself.

"the American educator achieved the milestone when he returned to Miami Dade College as a lecturer at 18 years and 346 days old to teach COP 2270: C for Engineers in August 2023."

He is actually a lecturer not Prof. as we know for here

I thought someone was asking if "oyinbo" celebrate first class undecided

ebubeson:
Have you seen a white person talking high about their first class degree? Do they really place value on it the way many celebrate it in Nigeria?

This is quite an ignorant take and I won't help you put proof. The internet is your friend. I don't think you know about the literacy level of Iran which is far far better than Nigeria's, both female and male.
I was just posting today about NELFUND. Nothing, absolutely nothing stops the Awo wannabe from making education free if we have a plan as a country. The reason for our people going to Nordic countries is because of free education!

Na so, advantage of being born and raised in a working system, can this feat happen in Nigeria? Your guess is as good as mine.

I just pray this will be an eye opener for Nigerians, we need to wake up and be active politically, the positive change we desire could actually start from there.

Why?

BennyDGreat:
Why?
The education of an individual is beyond academics only and involves various important psycho-social stages which integrate an adult properly and when rushed and skipped in this manner, often in a bid to display outstanding intellectual capacity or distinguish the child as a prodigy, such inevitably will lead to an unbalanced adult in future who will have many social difficulties. Beyond this, there are certain adult things which require a certain maturity and no child, even if Einstein will be well suited to.

Islam will not see this rather building fighters for an Allah that forbids human development.



AntiChristian
It's normal for your sight to be blocked, but how about your reasoning organ? Haven't you read thousands of record breaking of Muslim kids? Well, ignorants doesn't reason beyond their circle.

I now see the hate has taken all over

But let me ask you simple this

Hitler was from which faith
Trump was from which faith
Joshua was from Which faith
Natanyahu from which faith
Napoleon from which faith


Tell me the Muslim that have kill above this people

But. Am not saying Christianity permit this ooo

And look around us today you see many herbalist and pastor with rituals in human part yet we don't tag it to Christianity

So if someone that is paid to shout allahu Akbar is now call a Muslim
So by you saying this word make you a Muslim

I believe you may have said it some how
Get sense

yes even if it did am sure we Nigeria have people. That can sub pass that in all form

It is not in all countries that a Lecturer one is a Prof. Prof in some countries just means the same thing as Assistant lecturer or graduate assistant in other countries.
No mention about him earning a PhD yet he is called a Professor

Suspect. Florida colleges are not exactly the most trustworthy. And this half-Indian comes from scammer lineage.

Absolutely correct. We need a thorough revamp of our educational sector.

You have a solid point but I think that's left to the parents and mentors to step in with that balance.

At least for the next 3-4 years...

I even think it's left to the institution to determine. When I read the story, I noticed how the institution had carefully placed him to where he was capable of. To teach what he knew and was good at. The other part of development will come with time but what's better? To say let's wait for more time or start using it now? It makes me remember how academies in Europe start nurturing talents from an early age and by the time they have spent 19 years doing this, they have become more mature and disciplined. Becoming experts in the game.

It can be possible to have a PhD by 19 if you were given a dissertation topic by say 16 or 17 but how can that be possible when you need to acquire a degree first, pass o level to acquire a degree? Then a sound PhD can hardly be concluded in two years is another problem because you have to present something new, a new conclusion that you cant get with AI. It involves reading a large volume of related literature, writing, editing, proofreading, publishing and peer review. So let us just say a real PhD should take at least three years after your BSc. Some take up to ten years. If you are good it can be three years. And it is just one paper. A Professor in Nigeria does not have less than 20 to 25 papers and it is gradually. In the US too it is gradually. If you become a Prof by 35 you are good. My Dad's younger brother became a Prof in OAU at 37. No matter the department, a Prof at 35 is good. A PhD can be possible by 24. So it is not possible for a young man of 19 years to be a Professor.
