He dropped out. Never completed at Eton. Besides do you expect me to believe a Nigeria blog over Yahoo news?. You are quoting a Naija blog. My man get serious.

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?

ojukwu? Ojukwu is not the first Nigerian to go to oxford university. Sir Egbert Udo Udoma was the first Nigerian to earn a Phd in law from Oxford university in 1945. Ojukwu was an adolescent then. Sir Udo Udoma is an Ibibio man from Akwa Ibom state.

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:


As long as he isn't a Yoruba man.
I don't think Ndiigbo cares. grin

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.

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.

The first Black student at Eton college was Tokunbo Akintola in April 1964, son of SLA Akintola the then Premier of Western Nigeria.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQPm0iDhTUM

The First Black student at Oxford University was a Creole from Siera Leone, Christian Cole in 1873.

The first Nigerian to attend Oxford was the first Black woman to attend the School and graduate in 1935, Kofoworola Ademola (nee Moore), the daughter of Eric Olawolu Moore and later wife of Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, the first Nigerian Chief Justice of the Supreme court.

So how does an Ojukwu that graduated from Oxford in 1955, become the first Black/African at Oxford?

This must be IPOB Bureau of Statistics as usual.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Ibibio clan is an extention of the Arochukwu clan. They are migrants from Arochukwu. One does not have to originate from core Igbo states to be Igbo. The entire old Esatern region is Igboid.
stop this your ipob delusional chants. you say the entire eastern region was igboid? So you mean the Ijaws,Ogonis, Efiks,Ibibios,Annangs,etc are igboid. I wonder why you guys fail to realize that your igbo is not superior to any ethnic group in Niger Delta.

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

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?

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.
