Great!
I hope this makes front page.

It is good to celebrate intellectuals especially those soaring high in many competition however we should go beyond this. Our certificate is loosing relevance because we stress so much on theory with less practicals. That is more reason why many Nigerians run a PhD program in some universities abroad for 4 years instead of 3. We need to consider practical approach towards solving problems.
