<span style="font-size: large;">8. The World's fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world's fastest computer: a Black Nigerian.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">19. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. <b>VIVA NAIJA!!!</b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world over and only less than 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Listen Nigerians, dont let anybody woo you into believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian. Nigerians are NOT criminals. You are NOT a criminal. You are topnotch; second to none around the world. Be proud of Nigeria wherever you go. Take out your Passport with pride. Be proud of our GREEN HERITAGE. Be enthusiastic of our FUTURE GREATNESS </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>I got this off a site I visit boredpanda.com. It was so amazing I had to share. As credit to the owners, I left every link and words. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To the delight
(or dismay) of millions, the school season is beginning in many
countries throughout the world. But it’s important not to forget that,
in some parts of the world, school can be a hard-won luxury. Many
children throughout the world have to take the most incredible and
unimaginable routes in order to receive the education that some of us
may take for granted. This list we collected will show you just how
determined some children can be when it comes to getting an education.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">According to <a href="http://www.uis.unesco.org/Education/Documents/fs-25-out-of-school-children-en.pdf?_ga=1.94197214.2130858261.1406710826">UNESCO</a>,
progress in connecting children to schools has slowed down over the
past five years. Areas that lack suitable school routes can often flood,
making it even harder for kids to commute. Dangerous paths are one of
the main reasons why many children decide to quit school.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The solution might seem easy: build
roads and bridges, buy buses and hire a driver. However, the lack of
funds and recurring natural disasters in many countries make it
difficult to provide children with the solutions they so desperately
need.</span></div>
