The only truth here is what the head teacher said.. Anything and everything u wrote (which I didn't bother myself to read coz I'm not looking for a sleeping drug yet) have been pure gibberish.

Dont wallow in ur ignorance

nanauju:
U cannot know more than the head teacher of the school. Cased close. Go and argue with your keypad

Hatred will kill you before your actual death estimate. You had all your Lagos-ibadan media news but u didn't create a thread, u waited until the head teacher of Eton came to praise an igbo ma, before u now started spilling gibberish from the stinking gutter u call mouth.

Pls take a back seat, once again spare me all ur long epistles. I have better, more educating things to read

obynzo:
I believe Ademoyega was among the Soldiers too he is Yoruba and not Igbo

nanauju:
Give it to onyeama for being the first to graduate, not a dropout like whoevery you're trying to put the glory on. I didn't read up ur epistle.. Don't bore me with boring arguments

But when the time came, Onyeama failed the entrance exams. Another Nigerian boy, Tokunbo Akintola, thus became the first black student in Eton, attracting global media attention.

First black/African man at Oxford = Emeka Ojukwu

First balck man in Eton College = Dilibe Onyeama.


Conclusion = IGBO AMAKA. Putting Nigeria and africa on the map since 1845.





Mod, do the needed. The world need to know.

joey150:
This is a blind and nasty argument. The story succinctly says the first black person to successfully complete their studies at Eton College and not the first to enroll.


Going by your unwarranted clout-chasing, of what use is the first person to 'physically' enroll in a school and then 'spiritually' not graduate?


For all I care, it's a needless argument. The main point of the story was to apologise for the racial prejudice. Shun tribal bigotry of any kind. The white man is apologizing to the black man, and yet the black man has turned it into a tribalism bashing contest. Oh what an irony!

zeusdgrt:
Oga professor when dey in charge say the man is the first,u wen dey here dey argue ontop keyboard for school wen u never smell

nanauju:
Ur own must be Lagos-ibadan expressway media like they often call u people.
So u now know the history of the school more than the head teacher that called onyeama the first black student.. Lol

U better calm down, don't give yourself unnecessary hbp

sleekdre:
From same source you quoted you left out this information:

"Akintola left Eton after about two years and so Onyeama became the first black person to complete his education at the prestigious school."
You people should fear God!

MetaPhysical:
Even at that, the first black student ever finished from Eton was the son of HaileSelassie in Ethiopia.

Unless we say Ethiopians are whites, then we can disqualify the Prince.

wow! Then she attended oxford before Udo Udoma. However, Udo Udoma was the first Nigerian to have a Phd in law from Oxford university in 1945.

A grand son of a well known slave trader from a family of Biafra saboteurs for that matter, talking about black lives mater?

koning:
He dropped out. Never completed at Eton. Besides do you expect me to believe a Nigeria blog over Yahoo news?. You are quoting a Naija blog. My man get serious.

sageb:
ojukwu? Ojukwu is not the first Nigerian to go to oxford university. Sir Egbert Udo Udoma was the first Nigerian to earn a Phd in law from Oxford university in 1945. Ojukwu was an adolescent then. Sir Udo Udoma is an Ibibio man from Akwa Ibom state.

As long as he isn't a Yoruba man.

A long journey to Eton
Onyeama was registered to attend Eton on the day he was born in January 1951.

His father, Charles Dadi Umeha Onyeama, studied at Oxford University, worked as a magistrate in British-ruled Nigeria, and mixed well with the top of British society, eventually becoming a judge at the International Court of Justice at The Hague.

With the man's connections, his second son was at birth the first black boy to be registered in the elite school.

But when the time came, Onyeama failed the entrance exams. Another Nigerian boy, Tokunbo Akintola, thus became the first black student in Eton, attracting global media attention.

Onyeama eventually enrolled two terms after Akintola.

But the 14-year-olds, who came from different ethnic groups, did not get along.

"The very person who should have been my best friend, given my predicament, turns out to be more of an enemy," Onyeama wrote.

Akintola left Eton after about two years and so Onyeama became the first black person to complete his education at the prestigious school.

koning:
The headmaster of Eton College has told the BBC he is "appalled" by the racism experienced by the first black person to complete his studies at the prestigious British public school.


Go and argue with the Headmaster of Eton College. He is the person in the best position to tell us who was "The first".

Unlike Tokunbo, another Nigerian, the second to attend the school, Dillibe Onyeama, went on to become a renowned author.
Onyeama arrived Eton two terms after Tokunbo did. He is now a prominent writer whose first book Nigger at Eton sold out at the time it was published in June 1972. He wrote the book at the age of 18.

VirusComing:
Last month my friend who was having symptoms of covid19, went to the nearest testing center where they collected his blood sample and contact details. They told him to go home, that they will contact him once his test result is out. He waited for one week, two weeks, they didn't contact him. He had to rely on self medication to treat himself and got better a week plus.

One month later (early June) when he thought everything was over (the corona virus scare), he received a call from NCDC Edo state that he is covid19 positive according to the result of his test. They arranged the time and day they will be coming to pick him up. He was told that if he should flee he would be place on police wanted list.

When they came to pick him up, no matter how many times he told them he no longer has symptoms of covid19 and was already OK, they did not listen him. They bundled him to the isolation center. My friend is currently at the isolation center as I type, despite the fact that he had long recovered from whatever illness he had.

NextGovernor:
Yes we know he is loyal. But will that stop us from losing out from this opportunity. Having Governor Obaseki on PDP as flag bearer will be of great advantage of winning this election because he cant easily be rig out and he still have much loyalist from APC who will secretly work to actualize this. Imasuagbon can't win his Local government not to talk of Edo State. He knows this.

blinking001:
There is no shame in one retiring to a single room at Ajegunle after a days hustle. Please do not despise small beginnings. We all have our little beginnings except for the silver spoon individuals. Sha I agree with most of the things you posted.

ccffwx:
Yet they want Igbos out of Lagos. Afonjass are obviously jealous of Igbos.

IlovePMB:
Try and have an Igbo man as a close friend to help you remove the spirit of slavery and cowardice from you.

Have you ever taught of how only 5 South East states fought other remaining 31 states of Nigeria. If not for Britain and other foreign forces that came to help Nigeria, Igbos would have wiped out Nigeria from history. Obasanjo even gave part of Cross river to Cameron as a thank you package to Cameron for helping Nigeria defeat the Igbos.

See how a whole prof and SAN has been reduced to a toilet inspector by ordinary abokis and illiterates. Tufiakwa. Abomination. Alu. Your cowardice irritates me. Spits.

If not for Britain and other foreign forces that came to help Nigeria, Igbos would have wiped out Nigeria from history.
