I POSTED THIS THREAD TO CELEBRATE YOUNG NIGERIAN ACHIEVERS UNFORTUNATELY ONE IPOB IS TRYING TO DERAIL IT. WHY IS IT THAT Igbos LOVE TO CRY ABOUT EVERYTHING. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE LIST WAS PLURALITY YORUBAS UNTIL I STARTED READING THE COMMENTS. WHY ARE THE IGBOS CRYING. I COULD ONLY SEE 2 or 3 GUYS FROM MY TRIBE IN THE LIST AND I AM NOT COMPLAINING. THESE YOUNG NIGERIANS WERE CHOSEN NOT BY MIRACLE CENTER WAYO BUT BY A RIGOROUS COMPETITIVE PROCESS AND THEY SHOULD BE CELEBRATED BY ALL NIGERIANS. AND IF THE Igbos ARE STILL PAINED THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD SO THEY CAN, IN THE FUTURE, COMPETE BETTER AGAINST THEIR YORUBA ARCH-RIVALS. I AM SUPPOSE TO BE THE TRIBALIST BUT YOU Igbos HAVE TAKEN TRIBALISM TO ANOTHER LEVEL. Igbos BEHAVE YOURSELVES AND LET THIS THREAD FLOW SMOOTHLY. NOW BEFORE YOU CALL ME YOLOBA THIS AND YOLOBA THAT PLEASE GET MY NAME RIGHT: IT IS CHIEF OTUMBA ODETUNJI AREMU. THANK YOU.





One hundred young Nigerians have been selected for entrepreneurship and leadership training in the 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship in the United States (US), according to United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr James Entwistle.

He spoke in Abuja during a reception organised by the U.S. Embassy for the participants who were selected from six geo-political zones in the country and the Federal Capital Territory.

According to the envoy, the participants would participate in an intensive, six-week programme on academic excellence and leadership on business and entrepreneurship, civic leadership, public management, and renewable energy at U.S. colleges and universities.

“The Mandela Washington Fellowship is the flagship programme of the President's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) and a key component of President Barack Obama's commitment to invest in the future of Africa.

“YALI is an integral part of President Obama's commitment to invest in the future of Africa.

“The White House developed this initiative in recognition of the critical and increasing role that young Africans are playing in strengthening democratic institutions, spurring economic growth, and enhancing peace and security in Africa," he said.

The envoy congratulated the new fellows on their competitive selection amongst 10,000 Nigerian applicants and tens of thousands of others throughout Africa.

"Our goal is to select a diverse group, both geographically and socio-economically, representing all segments of Nigeria.

"You represent the best of Nigeria's youth and the future of the country.

“Your selection says a lot about who you are as young leaders and the level of impact you are having on your communities as entrepreneurs, civic leaders, public servants, and champions of renewable energy," he said.

He said that 86 Nigerians have participated in the Mandela Washington Fellowship since 2014.

He urged the participants to share what they learn with members of their communities upon returns.

“We hope that you will leverage the U.S. and African connections you have established to their maximum potential," he said.

In a civilized country that recognizes skills and talents, it would have been 60%.

I guess some people did not have the highest representation because there was no opportunity for miracle centre.

The poll is not giving them a chance to do unnecessary chestbeating, so they must question it nau.

Your case is for Yaba left to decide.

ikeg7416:

LMFAOOO so this fool does not know how the USA government picks candidates in different nation to study in their country? Travel outside of that Oshgbo village for once, una refuse.
The FG suggested the list to the US ambassador. Or did you foolish ass think the USA government went to the entire states and entire schools in Nigeria to pick a list of students. Are you that brain dead? Since you have a yoloba that is mere commissoner in that government plus tinubu still controls a portion of ApC, let's not forget Fashola, it doesn't take a genius to know who made the list and provide it to the ambassador.
Is it not the same reason Buhari that didn't graduate from school went on a training in USA in the recommendation by the FG of that country.
No wonder yoloba are competing with north in terms of stupidity in that country.
Now cry me more river
