Nigerian girl, Saheela Ibraheem, whose name has been buzzing in the headlines lately as a promising talent, has reserved a place among “The World’s 50 Smartest Teenagers” list.
The young girl, only 16, made it to headlines earlier this year when she was accepted into Harvard University, making her one of the youngest students ever to attend that school.
Making a record in the US, Saheela was accepted at 13 other colleges, including prestigious MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, Princeton, Columbia, and the University of Chicago.
In the end, Saheela chose Harvard, based on her seven-year-old brother’s advice who also dreams of being admitted to Harvard.
Saheela believes the key to success is knowing what you love to learn as early as possible, a knowledge she says she achieved at age five.
Known as polite and humble, the Muslim prodigy said that her Nigerian parents, totally supportive of the young scholar, sometimes taught her subjects the schools didn’t offer.culled
Most parents in nigeria either teach their kids to be corrupt by buying them certificate/ degrees or teaching the girls to use their breasts/ pussy to move ahead in life. Thats why a lot of so called graduates can grasp the english language, or give an intelligent contribution in a discussion, unless it concerns sex and materialistic shit. God help nigerian youths.
ReplyDeleteI hope she will nt join al_queada soon sha..
DeleteOMG @ cuddly, that's what you can open your mouth to say? I guess Anon 7:07 is right afterall, most Nigerian youths can't contribute meaningfully to things of intellectual matters. You sound shallow and I truly feel sorry for you.
DeleteI know her. She is my friend's sister. Well congrats dear. What ur sister couldn't achieve, u achieved it.
ReplyDeleteShutup Famzat oshi, all fingers are not equal and destinies are not same. "See ur mouth like what ur sister couldn't achieve' ode!! and you say the sister is your friend? With friends like you who need enemies? What have you achieved? Other than trying to gain some sort of relevance on the cyberspace?

ReplyDeleteAtleast we still have nigerians who gives us good reputation...c'mon gurl..GOD BLESS YOU..
ReplyDeleteYou people should stop claiming her as a Nigerian because she is not.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you see where they wrote 'Nigerian parents'? In other words her parents are Nigerian but she is not.
Once they are born or grow up in America or UK people claim that place as where they are from.
Ewu mme!!!
DeleteAs at the time I was commenting I had read at least 16 comments. At least 12 of these wrote with horrible grammatical expressions; poor tenses and terrible spellings. We now have words like fink; shez;broada; g8, n, dem etcetera. Shame on you lot. Bunch of illiterate misfits.
ReplyDeleteThat's rude of you...........all the aforementioned were just general abbr
DeleteGbammmmmmm
ReplyDeleteOk na, Nigerian descent then . Nonsense. Tomato, tommaato, both na vegetable!
ReplyDeleteA.ma.zing!
ReplyDeleteGo girl! Make your parents and everyone proud.
Godbless you!
Bia Stella me dey tish my shidren ooooo!

#efico thingz
Shutup jor, u are so boring! U always crack silly dry jokes and it just makes me wonder...do you think that u are under an obligation to comment on every post, really? I know you'll come and say.."Did I force u to read"?
DeleteWell yea, but it becomes somewhat 'inevitable' to read ur comments, cos its always splashed EVERYWHERE!!! *sigh*
Until our "LEADERS" realize that the Nigerian child is naturally intelligent and begin to develop our institutions instead of destroying them (Along with ASUU) we will keep claiming people of Nigerian Descent as ours.
ReplyDeleteAnon 17, Jah bless you.
ReplyDeleteyou forgot 5n, hiz, sista, whatevs etc.
It is until they write that shit down in the exam hall before they realize that typing that way isn't cool.
Shameless idiots.
Congrats girl n thanks for making Nigerians proud.
ReplyDeleteI've been to my little niece's school a couple of times, and over heard their teacher, she is soo igbotic such that if she is speaking in English if u are not very attentive u will not understand her, cos it sounds like she is speaking Igbo language, her pronouciations are jst out of dis world, and she claims to be a graduate, I have to go and complain to d proprietor of d sch, not knowing dat a number of parents hav gone to complain too, its so sad, thank God they've replaced her now
ReplyDeleteAnon #9, please she is Yoruba. We dont sell our little girls. Not even the muslim ones. Ewoo! (Taboo). So where Yerima wan see am? E wan die???
ReplyDeleteNigerian American they call her
ReplyDeleteWow!That' good.My only worry is that foreign movies has tot me that Islam folks who study abroad like this know too much and combined wid their hatred,instead of reading,they read abt explosives & dynamites and bcom experts in bomb making...no offence oh
ReplyDeleteWow!That's good.My only worry is that foreign movies has tot me that christian folks nowadays don't have that religious faith anymore.. They read about how to make their religion modern by fornicating, being gay and dressing in obscene ways. I mean is that even christianity???? No offence oh.
DeleteMschewwwwwwww!!!!
Tell the teenager congrats and move on, ur 2cents was uncalled for. Look at her as a femle teenager 1st before you begin to judge her by her veil/ hijab. She is human, she is a girl, she is nigerian before she even is a muslim.
Anon #5, I guess you have never heard about something called constructive criticism, well I don't blame you when your mates went to kindergarten/nursery you were playing on the streets wearing "paent".
ReplyDeleteSDK, now its "Nigerian American" when someone bombs somewhere it will become "Nigerian"!!! Anyway, good she's this good, I just pray she doesn't use it negatively...
ReplyDeleteIt's only all this fucked up burger head Anonymous ppl that wl try to put up shit on my face on Stella' blog..oya,if them born u wel,show face and stop hidding ur obnoxious identity.'boko haram cousin,oshisko'
