Nigerian Girl Is The Best Graduating Student At Dillard University USA

                              

All eyes were on 20-year-old Nigerian, Merrilyn Akpapuna, who emerged the best graduate at the Dillard University, New Orleans, United States. The Psychology graduate, who was born in Delta State, not only obtained the highest academic honour Summa Cum Laude (first class), she also emerged the best graduating student in the ivory tower and made A’s in all her courses amassing a cumulative grade point average of 4.0/4.0.

In her reaction, Ms. Akpapuna gave an insight of how the journey was for her. She said, “When I first got to Dillard, I had to learn the differences in the spelling of certain words and adjust to a new metric system. I also faced some difficulties due to the difference in the education system. In Nigeria, the teaching system follows the British pattern, which is different from the system in the United States.

“Men did not disturb me on campus and no lecturer ever asked me for sexual favours. Again, let me tell you, the factors that brought about my success would have remained the same even in Nigeria. So, I believe I would have excelled in the same way if I had stayed in Nigeria,” she added.

                             

Interestingly, three other Nigerians, Victor Ogburie, Stephen Igwe, and Emole Anyadimgba who all made first class in their chosen disciplines joined Akpapuna in the league of the best graduating students at the university.

 

Do you guys agree that she would excelled in the same way if she had stayed in Nigeria? Me, I don't
