She's more articulated than many university graduates. Kudos girl!!💗

[@Flourish_today]

Most time students are articulate depending on the schools they went to before university and if they are avid readers. I have a friend who went to village schools but she used to read. Magazines, novels, etc. She joined the university, and people thought she had gone to a good city school. She used to pronounce words so well compared to some of the kids who went to city schools.

[@user-wc5ys5sr4v]

Just like you

[@MiracleUchenna299]

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!

[@topebankole8058]

This is bad, I believe you should not compare her with other university graduates. @francesjane I’m pretty sure she’s more articulated than you

[@angiex3288]

[@ALO035]

No one gave kudos to her mother that actually helped to reduce her chores, so she had time yo ficus more on studying. Congrats. In a world of rising immorality, this story comes as a breath of fresh air and Mmesoma as a very good role model especially now amongst secondary school students of her age

[@israeliseoluwa6704]

[@CuriousMind22]

Is he (god) though? Good all the time? I’ve come to reject the god of colonialists. I remember when we used to pour libation for our ancestors. I much rather this. You know, our naming ceremonies in honour of our ancestors, praying while facing Mt Kenya, etc etc… This God who allowed slavery and racism - I just don’t believe in this god anymore…

[@avigailomichael]

​@@CuriousMind22the deity that you do believe in doesn't seem to be working for you or Nigeria or Africa or the black race either, obviously. I mean, come on bruh, just admit it, it ain't that hard.

[@GloriousPraiz]

​@@CuriousMind22you don't believe in the one who created all things but you would rather pour libations to one of his creation? Make that make sense. Even the devil believes and trembles. And just a point of correction, he is not the God of the colonialists, he is is the God of all creation. Take heed and be wise.

[@ugowilliams8437]

In a country that has very intelligent and creative youths like Nigeria, our political leadership is suffering in the hands of international criminals and people facing damning embezzlement probe by EFCC and ICPC. How did we get to this messy point in our national life? Excellence is not tribal or religious, but when it comes to electing the right person to lead the country, ethno-religious sentiments will come to the fore of our thoughts. This is tragic. I dare to say that Nigeria can only progress and get better when an Igbo person is given the opportunity to bring his or her brilliant governance ideas to preside over the leadership of our dear country. I beat my chest confidently in this assertion.

[@sommyeagle]

By God's grace, someday, an Igbo man who'll get there, and things will get better.

[@hilaryahonye6185]

I am from Benue State, currently lives in England. I completely agree with you. The Igbo race is a big blessing to Nigeria and the earlier other Nigerians realise this the better.

[@juliusfakayode703]

As a Yoruba man, this is why I wholeheartedly supported Peter Obi in the last presidential election. For me, all hope is not lost. Eyes on Judiciary.

[@faleyeoluwadamilare5199]

You started well and ended by going against what you said .. being a good person or leader is not about tribe, You people should stop tagging the progress of the country to tribalism again? Until we all realize being good or bad is not about tribe we are not going forward ... You ppl will start the tribe card and later form the victim of tribalism.

[@Jay_0605]

As a 20 year old Yoruba boy that lives in Lagos, what happened this year traumatized me, I guess I was naive to hope but I'm extremely disgusted with the tribalism, it makes no damn sense. God help us

[@johndawah1004]

This is outstanding, I'm very proud of what Mmesomachukwu Okonkwo and her colleague has achieved. Kudos to their school and family for creating the right environment for them to excel...I hope all teenagers within your age bracket learn from you all. My best wishes to them going forward ❤️🙏❤️🙏

My dear keep flying high like your sisters Kamsiyochukwu that broke the jamb record, Chimamanda Adiche, Njideka Akunyeli, and host of other Igbos, keep making Igbos proud

[@Nell654]

Exactly!! Igbos are the brains of Nigeria

[@taiwogeorge6245]

For once, try not to make this about an ethnic group. He began by talking about both girls, Mnesioma and Oluwabukolami but you chose to unsee the other but celebrate one. According to premium times '... Oluwabukolami Adeyemi of Chrisland Pre-Degree College, Lagos, scoring the highest mark in the world in Cambridge International AS level Law (also known as the Cambridge A’ Levels) and recording the High Achievement Award in Cambridge International AS Level Psychology. Also, 17-year-old Mmesomachukwu Okonkwo of Chrisland High School, Victoria Garden City, had the highest mark in English as a Second Language (Speaking Endorsement) in the International General..' Please celebrate everyone. They have both performed exceptionally.

Beautiful,smart,super confident,super educated little girl. Congrats on your achievements. If there is any negative it's the fact that out of the 5 reasons for your success,you mentioned the key three last. Maybe from the way they asked the questions and the fact that Mr Chris land came there to launder the image of his school. Do the first two was your school's contribution and your own personal contribution. The last 3 that should have been first and in this order is GOD,YOUR PARENTS AND YOUR CHURCH BEFORE CHRIS LAND AND YOU!!! So my thanks go to God first,then those beautiful souls that birthed and are obviously training and bringing you up in a Godly manner and in line with the cultural Igbo belief of the ADA running the home. For you to be so immersed in house chores and be conscious of homely duties is a magnificent thing along with ur educational responsibilities.Your mum especially deserves special praise cos her job is almost done.none of your younger ones will tow another line cos you have set the standard. Then I hail your church for creating an environment that made u refer to them as a COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE IT ALL. Now Chris land and you can come in. Daalu Ada mmadu.....Ogana adili gi na mma na ndu go Nile. As your mum and dad were fitted by the almighty so shall you meet and marry someone who will support every step of your upward journey.
