CKC Onitsha defeats US, Turkey Schools to Emerge Winner In a global competition.

Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria History was made today as Nigeria emerged victorious at the prestigious World Affairs Challenge (WAC) 2024! Christ the King College (CKC) Onitsha, representing the nation, secured the coveted global first-place position, marking the first time Nigeria is clinching Gold in the competition's 32-year history.

The World Affairs Challenge, organized by WorldDenver, empowers high school students to develop innovative solutions for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year, students tackled critical issues like climate change, poverty, and inequality.

The students, Ekufu Ernest, Obuna Somtochukwu, Umeodinka Emmanuel, Ejike Ekene, and Ubah Jason, led by their coach, Mr. John Onuigbo, impressed the judges with their impactful project, "Wise Tales by Primus," a captivating series of digital comic stories addressing environmental degradation, climate change, and substance abuse. "Wise Tales by Primus" aims to raise awareness and inspire positive change among young people.

CKC Onitsha's journey started at the African Regional Competition, where they were named the highest-scoring Nigerian team and top five in Africa. The team proceeded to pitch in the virtual global finals, and following a rigorous evaluation, the team's in-depth understanding and passionate delivery during the final Q&A session left a lasting impression. Delivering the judgment, the judges paid glowing tributes to the team’s outstanding performance, “Excellent presentation and applications of SMART indexes with extraordinary action plans for global outreach through language translation and website creative solutions dynamics. This is innovative, creative, and illustrious,the judges said.” 

Today, they were officially declared the World Affairs Challenge 2024 Global Champion, surpassing teams from all over the globe participating in the championship. Redmond High School, WA, USA, and TEVITÖL High School, Turkey, came in third and second place, respectively.

Speaking on the win, the school principal, Rev. Fr. Celestine Arinze Okafor, said, "CKC Onitsha's victory extends beyond the competition. It signifies the immense potential and innovative spirit of Nigerian youth, who not only secured a historic win but also inspired others to tackle global challenges with creativity and dedication. These boys deserve all the support they can get to build and push their project to millions of users."

Adding to the excitement, the CKC Onitsha team will travel to Denver, Colorado, USA, later this month for the award ceremony! There, they will showcase their project to a global audience and connect with other young leaders.

One Peter Obi's legacy that will no more die. PO laid the foundation

Go my Alma mater!!!


Primus inter pares!

Instead of Nigerian school (as you did the US and Turkey) you narrowed your headline to CKC Onitsha to further bolster you tribalistic ego, continue...


Anyways, thank you CKC for the good representation, breaking the hard-luck and returning with gold. We celebrate you.

Peter Obi's legacy.
I could remember a corper friend of mine during qNYSC days telling me they had launch with Peter Obi right in their school refectory and I couldn't believe him cos all through my 6yrs of Secondary Education in a top govt. School, not even ordinary permanent secretary visited us let alone a commissioner.

The dot(.) nation always representing. Quality of education in the east is next to non, soon we would experience a massive exodus to the east for education tourism, since the dollar for school fees is no longer feasible.

COMRADES, congratulations to CKC for this wonderful achievement
