NIGERIAN STUDENT WHO FAILED WAEC 17 TIMES BAGGED TWO DOCTORATE DEGREES

A Nigerian student who goes by the name Emmanuel Ahmadu has passed through challenges trying to acquire education. After failing WAEC exam 17 times in the past and not deterred, he has successfully earned two doctorate degrees in United States. 

Emmanuel's story is a testament to resilience and determination, akin to Dr. Ben Carson's. He first gained international attention in 2018 when he won the International Award for Student Brand of the Year in West Africa as an undergraduate at the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

Encouraging young people to demonstrate perseverance and resilience in pursuing their goals, he said, “Seek out opportunities for growth, leverage available resources, and connect with mentors and supportive networks.

“Remember, every setback is a setup for a greater comeback.

“Keep pushing forward, and your efforts will eventually yield success,” 

“My story is a beacon of hope for youths facing similar challenges, inspiring them to rise above their circumstances and make meaningful impacts in their communities and beyond,”

Narrating his journey in the pursuit for excellence, he said “I first gained international attention in 2018 as the International Award for Student Brand of the Year in West Africa while studying at the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

‘My story of resilience, having attended 16 primary schools and 14 secondary schools due to family instability, and sitting for O’level examination 17 times over five years before passing, showcases unparalleled determination.”

THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh.
