To think a 4.92 math graduate was about to fade into oblivion in a farmland at Ebonyi goes to show the school, the state, the country are all useless....

The US would out rightly grant him citizenship at the end of his schooling.

This is what we call divine favour and it can only come from God.

The kind of favour I pray for though I didnt make first class, how person go get scholarship with second class upper ?

Jarus:
Happy to be part of this and on the 3-man scholarship interview panel that first discovered him.

We struggled to fight back tears while interviewing him - his condition despite his brilliance.

We thank God we got him here.

TechSkill:

Jarus:


Thanks.

We really did not help when "when we heard of the news", we put it out to the press AFTER helping him. We only wanted to call the attention of the media to the sorry wasting talents in Nigeria, that was why we decided to reach out to the press to publicise his story. His story was exceptionally touching. At some point, we his interviewers were practically crying and the American on the panel was wondering why - she couldn't relate to the level of poverty oozing from this young man we were interviewing.

Alongside my childhood friend, Michael Taiwo, now a US-based engineer and sponsor of the Michael Taiwo Graduate School Application Scholarship, we organised a scholarship scheme in Oct last year (https://www.jarushub.com/2020-michael-taiwo-annual-gmat-gre-toefl-scholarships-application/) and he applied.

After series of screening, including tests, he was one of the finalists for the final interview stage. I was on the 3-man panel that interviewed him. It was a touching moment as we struggled to fight back tears during his interview as we got to know about his poor background. I narrated the experience in this tweet ( https://twitter.com/Jarushub/status/1324108985671274498) and Michael, my partner on the panel and the sponsor, also narrated his own here ( https://www.jarushub.com/rage-sadness-gratitude-and-hope-an-interview-to-remember/)

Of course, he was one of the 23 applicants that won the scholarship (https://www.mtscholarships.org/meet-the-winners/2020-winners/) from the over 1500 that applied (out of which over 600 made first class). The scholarship covered payment for his GRE test, English test, application fee to US schools, and as added later, payment for international passport for him.

His performance in all those tests got him this US admission with the guidance of Michael and another friend of Michael, Busayo.

That's the story.

We invited the press to cover it (not the other way round) because it was a very sorry situation - not that we heard about the case in the press and took over it.

First class in Mathematics isn't a joke. I wish him the best of luck.

Nigeria pays no attention to such potentials. He is supposed to have been placed on a scholarship immediately after graduating by the state or federal government.

But no! Those in power won’t think of such but would rather host BBNaija winners and runner ups. Such a useless, visionless country!

Simplyleo:
Obviously, Emmanuel Nworie knows the reality of life and was ready to take the bull by the horn, then succor came his way.

Imagine, a first class graduate in Mathematics ready to go into manual farming, such a humble, intelligent and truly educated dude.

This is in sharp contrast with some illiterates who manage to know the spellings of their names bleating Buhari and Tinubu from sunset to sunrise everyday.

A good number of them can't even independently apply for a position in a corporate organization, yet they are the noisiest about job availability. We see them everyday in banks, offices etc.

Bunch of useless miscreants constituting nuisance to the society.

I know lamidi cownu is strategising for the next cashout.

TechSkill:


Okay thank you. I thought I saw a tweet where someone said that they should find him for urgent attention which i translated as the genesis of his glorious miracle through you guys. I wasn't really talking about press here...or may be I am mixing things up because there was another guy with similar case.

But all the same, may God continue to bless you for all the career help you have been giving Nigerians.

We need more people like you guys cos most times, Nigerians end up not having career mentor and this tend slow their growth.
