The headmaster said that he would invite Onyeama to meet him in order to apologise in person and "to make it clear that he will always be welcome at Eton".

"We must all speak out and commit to doing better - permanently - and I am determined that we seize this moment as a catalyst for real and sustained change for the better," he added.

What does Onyeama say?
Onyeama told the BBC that the apology was not necessary and did not change his view of Eton, which on the whole was positive

Throwback:


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[b] 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[/b]?

There is a historical perspective to it. Good point! Open new thread and tag me lets talk about it.

First black/African man at Oxford = Emeka Ojukwu

First balck man in Eton College = Dilibe Onyeama.


Conclusion = IGBO AMAKA. Putting Nigeria and africa on the map since 1845.





Mod, do the needed. The world need to know.

sageb:
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 headmaster of Eton College has told the BBC he is "appalled" by the racism experienced by the first black person to complete his studies at the prestigious British public school.


Go and argue with the Headmaster of Eton College. He is the person in the best position to tell us who was "The first".

oyatz:
Very wrong sir.

Arochukwu, Bende and most parts of Ngwaland were formerly Ibiobio.

Ibiobio didn't originate from Igbo rather many Igbos today originated from Ibiobio.

saggis:






Could be. But Ikemba was the richest, drove a Rolls royce at Oxford. Anyway, na the same Eastern region. Udo Udoma is very much Igboid.


All in all, Igbo Amaka still.

Akwa Ibom is in the south south region. Blackking98 , Ilaumoh ,Hotice085 , ifiokjohn come and see

sageb:
No, he is not igbo. Sir Udo Udoma is an Ibibio man from Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom. He is the father of the former minister of Budget and planning in Buhari first term, sen. Udo Udoma.

Igboid:


[s]As long as he isn't a Yoruba man.
I don't think Ndiigbo cares. [/s]

Igbo Amaka.
Naija go still apologize later later.

See how racists in tribalists' garments spoilt a thread that was so informing. It's really a shame on those who are hell-bent on proving superiority of their tribes over another. That's how Hitler started! Whichever of the Nigerian tribes attended Eton or Oxford, you're all here while your country rots and continually becomes unlivable and yet everyday, it's Yoruba this, Igbo that. Not different from the generation they've always blamed!

Mod, do the needed. The world need to know.

But when the time came, Onyeama failed the entrance exams. Another Nigerian boy, Tokunbo Akintola, thus became the first black student in Eton, attracting global media attention.

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.
