koning: But he is still the 1st Black student enrolled or is Tokunbo Akintola not? Did you also see the part that said Dilibe Onyeama failed the entrance exam even though he had been enrolled from birth owing to his father's connection. His failure at the entrance exam, while Tokunbo Akintola passed the very same exam is the reason why Tokunbo became the first black student to physically enroll in the school, while Dilibe Onyeama eventually passed the next year to be the 2nd Black student enrolled. Or is BBC not a reputable source? How come you have no response to my fact about Kofoworola Ademola (nee Moore), being the first Nigerian and First Black Woman to enroll and graduate from Oxford University in 1935 while Ojukwu graduated in 1955? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53062502 22 Likes |

sageb: The first Nigerian at Oxford university was Kofoworo Ademola (nee Moore). She was also the first Black Woman to ever enroll and graduate at Oxford University. Graduated in 1935. Igboid: Do you now care that it is a Yoruba woman that graduated from Oxford in 1935 which is 20 years before Ojukwu graduated in 1955? When Kofoworola Ademola graduated from Oxford in 1935, the barely 2yr old Ojukwu was still learning how to walk. https://womenafrica.com/profiling-the-first-african-woman-to-earn-a-degree-from-oxford-university-in-the-1930s/?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2019/03/27/from-lady-ademola-to-carla-peterman-a-history-of-bame-women-at-oxford/ 25 Likes |

koning: I have edited this post you responded to since indeed Dilibe Onyeama was the one that concluded his studies there. Besides you were trying to correct my factual submission that Tokunbo Akintola was the 1st Black student ever enrolled. 4 Likes |

Bialegend: Are you sure about this? I heard lots of folk tales about Onyeama na Eke. About Dilibe Onyeama, I’ve met this man at New Haven Enugu. I think he lived or is still living at Byron Onyeama close...he kept to himself, introverted. I knew he was smart but didn’t know he attended Eton. |

Throwback: 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. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Old_Etonians_born_in_the_20th_century 5 Likes

MetaPhysical: Onyema finished before that Ethiopian. Tokunbo Akintola's schooling was disrupted by his father's assassination in the Jan 1966 coup. That incident made his relationship with Dilibe Onyeama very acrimonious, since the killers of his father were Igbos like Dilibe. He later left for another UK school or returned to Nigeria. 15 Likes 1 Share |

sageb: ![]() You guys will start some shyyte competition and before you have done thorough investigation to make sure the ground you stand on is firm. Then when the rug is yanked from underneath your feet you begin to find other things to break your fall. So now that you admit Udo Udoma was not the first student you go pull something else out. Now if that is debunked you will return with some more shyyte. Why cant you all just relax and stop embarassing your accomplished local citizens on the national or continental scale? ![]() 33 Likes 1 Share |

MetaPhysical:maybe you don't know me. Check my first post, someone said ojukwu is the first Nigerian to attend oxford University so i had to show him that someone have been there before Ojukwu. When the guy show me that a woman have attended oxford before Udo udoma. Did i argue? I am objective about the issue because I am from the Niger Delta and I am not interested in your tribal superiority fight between yoruba and igbo. Cheers 9 Likes |

Beyond tribal issues, there's one thing I notice from this story and similar stories which I think we should be discussing; Most Nigerians who studied in the best British or American Schools don't necessarily become the most successful Nigerians in their chosen career or in life generally. They seems not necessarily more successful than Nigerians who schooled at Government College, Umuahia or Ilesha Grammar School. Does anyone has explanations for this observation? 16 Likes 1 Share |

oyatz: Success has always been what you do, and not what you don't do.It also has nothing to do with the school you went to. (One of my seniors in university, when he graduated, he commented that he went to 'village' schools, and never thought in his life he would be a university graduate, talkless a doctor. It happened) Also, a big problem with Nigerians who study abroad, it is very easy to get disconnected from home. 3 Likes |
