South Africans are patriotic unlike Nigerians.

I'd do the same too....

I doubt she would reject an offer to study medicine st John Hopkins.

University of Cape Town is either the best or number 2 in Africa and I'm sure she'll enjoy incentives there too.

If a lot of Nigerians had opportunities like this at home, you think they'd be japaing?

You only gain admission when you apply for admission.

Not at all, every year best performing matric learners gets scholarships in South Africa. American universities are aware that South Africans don’t apply and they are trying to market.
