stanliwise:
stop all this, infact from look of things I think the Igbos hate other tribes than they do to them.

deepwater:
nice at 26!

someone here told me yesterday that his family is just okay having their own daughter being a full house wife with an almost Nigerian first class degree - whatever that means

maxweb:
Aerospace engineering as if her hands will even touch any equipment self.
Why does the world like celebrating stupid things.
How is this news
Why not first african to graduate in aerospace engineering.
Pure nonsense.

Brightdude007:
Wow, a great achievement to Nigeria and the black race at large

cursedAbiola:
i have devoted myself to report any one that breaks nairaland rules
so help me God

Dr. Wendy Okolo is a Nigerian-born National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aerospace engineer and the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in the field.

According to her profile on the organization's website, Okolo works as a special emphasis programs manager at Ames Research Center and is a research engineer in the Discovery and Systems Health Technology (DaSH) Area. Her role includes researching control systems applications, systems health monitoring and creating solutions for issues related to the designing of aircraft and spacecraft. 

She earned her B.S. and Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2010 and 2015. Okolo completed her dissertation research with a focus on aircraft fuel-saving methods. Her research was funded by several organizations including the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), American Institute for Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) and Texas Space Grant Consortium (TSGC).

After completing her graduate studies, she worked a summer researcher at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in the Control Design and Analysis Branch at the Air Force Research Laboratory. While there, Okolo piloted one of the world’s fastest crewed aircraft.

Per the Philadelphia Tribune, Okolo is the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in aerospace engineering at just 26 years old. Along with accomplishing the prestigious honor, she was the winner of the Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) Global Competitiveness Conference award for being the most promising engineer in the United States government.

Nigerian women in the USA are all assets. Most educated ethnic group by percentage. I’m proud

nwabobo:
I just knew she didn't school here. This country has a way of limiting a person's potential.

DearDotun:
I like her boobs - well spaced. Now I understand the reason for a degree in aerospace

RTSC:
What is this one talking about.

A mere graduate or a PhD. Which is more powerful and more technical?

On the STMD-ECI project, she leads the controls team to develop unconventional control techniques for deployable vehicles, to enable precision landing and improve maneuverability during the entry, descent, and landing phases of spaceflight.

A project funded by the department of defense.

Don't talk nonsense. She is the hottest thing in aerospace engineering right now.

......
Please, she's not an Igbo woman o.
She's Deltan. Typical Delta woman. Not an Igbo woman.
