"At 22, Osarieme Anita Omonuwa bagged a first class honour at the University of Reading, United Kingdom, making her the first black woman to win the Reading University Chancellor’s Award in the history of the 121-year-old institution.

Just like Ufot Ekong, Omonuwa was awarded a total of six prizes – Student of the year, Best female graduating student, Council of Legal Education Star Prize, amongst others.

Omonuwa has always been a star child, always topping her class, right from her kindergarten days. In the 2008/2009 academic session at the Igbinedion education Centre, Benin City, she took home several prizes, including that of the best graduating student.

On her arrival in the United Kingdom, Omonuwa received the University of Reading scholarship award in 2010, and was also recognized as the best student in the international foundation programme.

The 22 year old was once described by her university chancellor, Sir John Madejski, as “a representative of our brightest and best students.” And to celebrate Nigeria’s centenary last year, Osarieme Omonuwa’s photographs donned the walls of the institution as a symbol of excellence."

A black African could soon be in space.

no, he was smart enough to build up massive discipleship in London before coming back to Nigeria. Fulani herdsmen (the current president tribe) attack allover the country,the skyrocketing cost of living and alleged marginalization, made the guy sort of became a rallying call for Nigeria's 3rd biggest tribe .ipob rallies/sit at home was also getting international coverage (especially after tangible proof of the military extrajudicial killings of ipobites) .Nigeria is in such a tribal tension that a little bit of shove might deteriorate into the tribal massacres pre Civil war.

I've been seeing the killings too which I think are also being taken lightly. The president has beeen blaming them on "libyans" which is obviously diversion that is working to protect Fulani from reprisals as people debate who exactly did it.Those killings are more than enough to start an intertribal war in most places.

I think so too. All that remains is for someone to say "fight!"

But some people are dismissing that as a possibility. I think it's a cultural thing. People are probably waiting for something specific or are not convinced that a civilian can start a war -

This is why I think Nigeria has greater freedom of expression than most African democracies. I think he wasn't ever a politician when he started this.

He belonged to another Pro-Biafran group called MASSOB before now. They were the ones reigning before he came on board.

I heard that snow fell in Kenya, how true is this?

eduj:

the fact that nnamdi kanu fulfilled his "draconian" bail conditions shows that he has considerable support among igbo elites (you needn't see his personal motorcade to know).
The guys philosophy is also gradually encroaching into south eastern universities.The only setback the fed government can latch onto, is the dichotomy between igbos who has strong roots to the east and south south, and the igbo who doesn't.
the method of warfare has vastly changed. boko Haram and the Niger delta militants showed that getting arms is now very easy (the missing armouries of many African armies is some where in circulation-besides, the technology behind such aren't restricted anymore).
The good thing about this kanu situation , is that issues normally swept under the carpet in Nigeria, is now every day discussion. I only hope the Feds see the writing on the wall and save Nigeria before its too late.

Kanu's fulfilment of his bail conditions do not signify that they support his cause or his methods. To me it was them aiding an Igbo son who was in jail for committing offences far less than that of other people who were walking free like the herdsmen. They also aided him because of backlash from the people and also because his weird ways brought the nations attention to the Igbo situation which Buhari has vowed to compound.

These guys seem organized and ready to run things

Re-introduction of the Biafran currency Edit
[b]In 2005, MASSOB re-introduced the old Biafran currency into circulation. This sparked a lot of excitement at the time especially as one Biafran pound was said to exchange for two hundred and seventy naira at the border communities of Togo and the Republic of Benin.[7] In his reaction, the then President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, likened the Biafran pounds to a collector's item and attributed its high exchange value to its relative rarity.

Introduction of the Biafran passport Edit
MASSOB launched the Biafran passport in 2009 as part of the program to celebrate its 10th anniversary. MASSOB leader, Ralph Uwazuruike, said the introduction of the Biafran passport was in response to persistent demands from Biafrans in diaspora.[8]

While it is true they are determined, they would have to be recognized by the U.N and other nations at large for the passport or currency to be accepted internationally, so such things do not bother Nigeria now. The major battle they have now is for their referendum and a major headache is in convincing the diverse south south ethnic groups and their leaders, since there are also igboid groups amongst these communities, if this can be actualized then it would be a problem for Nigeria.
MASSOB spearheaded the Biafra thing for long with Kanu as a member until he created the radical ipob now made popular by Buhari.
However l do not believe Naija would be plunged into another civil war, with Osibanjo there.
Buhari takes actions he believes are necessary, osibanjo a lawyer believes in logic, dialogue and discussion, however l pray for the speedy recovery of Bubu(who may have been poisoned by foreign personnels).

Oga mi, 3 gbosa for you.

This is just it. I have never seen a Nigerian anywhere who is interested in comparing or bragging about Nigeria anywhere else.
If not for this thread, i highly doubt you can see Nigerians anywhere dick-measuring country's achievements, but it is online everywhere you see Kenyans VS Tanzanians, Kenyans VS Ugandans and Kenyans VS everyone else. Very soon, Kenyans VS Ethiopians will break the net, now that Ethiopia has overtaken Kenya as the largest economy in East Africa. But i trust my Ethio peeps (so cultured and easy going folks) who don't have time for display of stupidity to place kenyans where they belong.
Sadly Coupled with the Black south africans who are always freaking hot to brag about the white man's achievements. One wonders why we hardly ever come across white South africans bragging online about their country they built.

We Nigerians are so occupied with our own internal problems that we don't even have the time or luxury to count any achievements we make (and truly i love this spirit! It gives no room for complacency ).
This is why you see that the number of active Kenyans on this thread equals or even surpasses the number of active Nigerians on this thread, cos Kenyans are always out on the loose, looking for the slightest opportunity to bragg about their latest achievements.

I closely followed Kenyan media recently when they (sorry, the Chinese) completed this $3 billion railway project of theirs from Mombasa to Nairobi. Mehhn , i would say i was quite ashamed to see the way the entire nation and Kenyan people were all happy, jubilating and celebrating like people who were just granted independence by Queen Elizabeth. .... If it were in Nigeria, you won't find such nonsense jubilation, rather, most of us would be looking for something wrong to insult and criticize about the accomplished project.

The Nigerian spirit always believes there is something better to achieve.

Nigerian govt tertiary institutions are some of the cheapest in the world, yet you will see most Nigerians still complaining about the cost. Lol

Taxation and cost of living in Nigeria is quite low and even free compared to many other African countries, yet most Nigerians still complain about high cost of living and taxation.

Not until i saw the comments from Kenyans and Ethiopians here, did i know that Nigerians enjoy a very high level of freedom of speech, but most Nigerians will never believe that, we believe we are under the worst dictatorship ever.

Nigeria undoubtedly has the best entertainment industry in Africa right now, but Nigerians will never stop insulting and criticizing our entertainers, producers, directors e.t.c. We believe they must surpass Hollywood before we commend them. (forgetting that Hollywood is almost a century old).

Kenyans for instance think Nigerians promote culture too much, but in Nigeria, most people are crying that our cultures are dying and are not promoted enough

Nigerian banks are the biggest players on the continent, but 'God forbid' for you to see any Nigerian praising any bank. We believe they are the worst on earth.

Compared to other African countries, the Nigerian govt is developing more cities/urban areas at the same time with our too many states and capitals, local govts and headquarters, but not too long ago, many Nigerians were agitating for more states, more capital cities e.t.c

How many more can i mention? I must say, i love this Nigerian spirit. It must continue until we eventually take our place in the world. No time to applaud or celebrate mediocrity.

Now, restructuring and state control is the order of the day in Nigeria. Lol. I sincerely hope it comes to pass.

The kenyas are spending too mich time on Nairaland, there beginning to confuse the real world with the internet world.

"In the past, telecommunication services were only accessible to a privileged few, but now lower-income countries are catching up. In 1998, right at the start of South Africa’s telecommunications revolution, the country accounted for 86% of all subscribers in sub-Saharan Africa, but by 2008, that figure had fallen to 18%, as other markets gained importance and Nigeria overtook South Africa as the biggest national telecommunications market."
