A Nigerian student achieved the highest grades at a university in Japan for 50 years and solved a maths puzzle in his first semester that was unsolvable 30 years ago.

Ufot Ekong, who studied at Tokai University in Tokyo, achieved a first class degree in electrical engineering and scored the best marks at the university since 1965, the Flotilla Magazine reported.

He began his success early at the university, solving a 30-year-old maths equation in his first semester.

Throughout his university career Mr Ekong won six awards for academic excellence.

The mathematician worked two jobs alongside his studies to pay his way as a student.

Mr Ekong also speaks English, French, Japanese and Yoruba and won a Japanese language award for foreigners. He is currently working for Nissan and already has two patents for electronic car design to his name.

Tokai University is a prestigious private university based in the Japanese capital, which was founded in 1924. It is focused on the sciences and technology and roughly 60 per cent of all students are enrolled in these schools.

Ingenuity brought about by a sizable population competing for limited resources and a culture that espouses academic achievement as a hallmark of success.


Now if only Nigeria could figure out how deal with its institutionalized corruption.

Trust me I know Kenya and Nigeria are very similar in education and corruption is also a problem...

and then you add in the brain drain how will these 3rd world countries ever truly get where they need to be when their best and brightest are doing it for another country. ideally he would be working at Innoson instead of Nissan.

This isn't necessarily the case anymore:

Interesting article:

The comparison with his past life, Kituyi says, is stark: "In the UK, you'd find that there were very set ways to develop your career: You're out of uni, you do a graduate scheme, then you go to the next level, and the next, and it's a trap. You're a very small part of a very big thing in the UK's IT industry ... it's hard to do anything but follow in others' tracks. Here in Kenya, you can be part of something in its formative stages, and that is really exciting. There's a lot more flexibility, a lot more opportunity to find gaps in the market that you can take advantage of."

Is it safe to move to Nigeria now?

I don't see how this benefits the Jews that are behind everything.
