I will always say this “Nigerians have potentials” Just give us the opportunity and watch us shine through!
Nigerian student Emelife Chinelo Stella has broken a record by winning 20 masters gold medals in Chemistry at the University Of Mysore, India.
Stella, as the best M.Sc graduating student from the university, received outstanding honours for her impressive grades and achievements during her programme.
Concise News gathered that she graduated with a final grade point (FGP) of 9.263%, thereby receiving 20 gold medals and cash prizes at the 99th annual convocation of the university on Sunday.
According to the University of Mysore, this is perhaps the first time in recent years that a foreign student bagged so many gold medals.
Stella, during her first degree, also graduated as the overall best student of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria, in the 2012/13 set with 4.86 CGPA.
“I want to say that I’m stunned, but everyone who grew up in Sokoto has heard of the Emelife excellency and of its torchbearer, Emelife Stella Chinelo, who has, since her primary school, remained top of her class. What we didn’t know, however, is that after receiving an Indian government scholarship to study in its country, she’d go on to top all of its citizens,” said Stellar’s sister Jennifer Emelife, on Facebook.
