I knew this was coming, every positive story on nairaland becomes partisan either religious or tribal. I'm expecting proudly Hausa very soon.
You're just going to reinforce American suspicion and reservations about the poor girl as she's muslim. Do you think the Americans will eventually put her in a sensitive position in the future being "proudly Islam" as you put it.
To most Americans "proudly Islam" translates to "proudly extremist" so please let's leave this out and just celebrate the girl.

U r a big liar.....Where in America does proudly Islam translate to proudly extremist? Name d state, city, or locality.
If ur comment here is a fact, would Obama have recognized her knowing fully well that she's a Muslim

Dude, this babe is going to Medical School next.

US medical MD degree is a postgrad degree. You get a BS/BSc first ideally in a medically related field like Biochem, Microbiology, Neuroscience/Neurobiology and so on. Although a few Universities accept non-science first degrees but the above courses still give you an advantage.

You're right though. Passion is crucial.

Nigerian genius, Saheela Ibraheem, 19, made history On Thursday, February, 26, when she was honoured with an official reception in the White House by the US President, Barack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle.

Saheela Ibraheem got into the Ivy League Harvard at the age of 15, where she is currently studying neurobiology — a branch of science that studies the brain — and has been listed among the “World’s 50 Smartest Teenagers.” She was also accepted for admission by 13 other top colleges in the United States, including the MIT, Princeton, Columbia, and six Ivy League institutions, choosing Harvard, she became one of the youngest students to ever attend the university. She will be graduating in May this year.

Speaking after an introductory speech by Ibraheem at the White House, President Obama stated that “there are a lot of teenagers in the world. Saheela is like one of the 50 smartest ones. That’s pretty smart. And she’s a wonderful young lady. She’s like the State Department and the National Institute of Health all rolled into one. And we are so proud of your accomplishments and all that lies ahead of you. And you reflect our history. Young people like you inspire our future.”

Ibraheem, who skipped two grades in school, said the key to success is figuring out what you love to learn as early as possible, which she did at the young age of five.

“If you are passionate about what you do, and I am passionate about most of these things, especially with math and science, it will work out well,” she told CBS 2s Cindy Hsu. In addition, Ibraheem speaks four languages that include Arabic, Spanish and Latin.

Her mother, Shakirat Ibraheem, said her daughter has been way ahead of the academic game since kindergarten — never cutting corners and trying to do everything on her own. “She’s like always independent,” she said. “I never get to help with her homework because she’d say ‘it’s my work mommy, not yours.’”

Ibraheem’s recognition and reception was part of the “Black History Month” celebration in the US, which comes up in February. The “Black History Month”, takes root from the activities of the “Association for the Study of African American Life and History.” Every year, Americans set aside the month of February to celebrate the central role that African-Americans have played in every aspect of American life especially the march for freedom and equality, jobs and justice, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and some profound contributions African-Americans make in the American culture.

Present at the evening event were members of the US Congress, including Leader Nancy Pelosi, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Lool. Once I saw the mother's name as Shakirat, I knew it's yoruba immediately. Yoruba Muslims are known for adding 't' to their names. Halimat, Kafayat, Maimunat etc...

I beg make una carry una nonsense go jare. That girl is a product of contemporary yoruba home ,yoruba parent and fully owned by an American society which values the education and well being of her citizens.
Nothing nigerian about her apart from the fact that her parents are Yorubas .
She is studying a science based university course which both Islam and christainity continuously undermine to this present day.
I would rather give credit to the omoluabi philosophy which evolved from the yoruba religion ,and which actually supports science and the acquisition of knowledge and good character.
She speaks perfect Yoruba.

Bless you brother.
