Saheela got admitted into the Ivy League school at the age of 15 and at the time of her admission was also offered a letter of acceptance by 13 other top colleges in the United States, including six Ivy League institutions. She however chose Harvard, making her one of the youngest students to ever attend the university. Saheela will be graduating in May this year.
President Obama while celebrating her described her as a wonderful lady.
"There are a lot of teenagers in the world. Saheela is like one of the 50 smartest ones. That’s pretty smart. And she’s a wonderful young lady. She’s like the State Department and the National Institute of Health all rolled into one. And we are so proud of your accomplishments and all that lies ahead of you. And you reflect our history. Young people like you inspire our future.” he saidAccording to Saheela, passion is what's made her attain such academic feat.
“If you are passionate about what you do, and I am passionate about most of these things, especially with math and science, it will work out well,” she saidAccording to her mother, Saheela had always been independent as a child and had never wanted anyone to help her with her homework
“She’s like always independent. I never get to help with her homework because she’d say ‘it’s my work mommy, not yours.’ she saidCongrats to Saheela...

Congratulations to Saheela Ibraheem and her family. our then vibrant Egbe omo yoruba of greater New York honored her and other students of yoruba descent in 2011 at Double Tree Hotel in Nyc to serve as inspiration to other students of yoruba descent in new york.

OF course they will applaud and recognize her and will be calling her their own. If it was a bad thing she did, the press will be quick to tag her " the Nigerian born girl" or the girl with the Nigerian parents. Even if the girl was born there and raised in their society, they will quickly dissociate themselves.
Well done girl. Your future is bright. In the near future Please find time to come home to influence your brothers and sisters in the north that a busy ruining this nation in the name of terrorism
Nigerian doing Nigerians proud
congrats girl...though it is not of he that wills but of Christ that shows mercy...u saw the grace n u grabbed it. keep the flag flying
Correct ! U spoke well.
Why not??!!!! Who doesn't know a good thing when he or she sees it?? Did your government commend her.. They're busy telling lies & using public funds to run an election that won't benefit anybody when it's over
That is a nice one
Brave and smart girl........God attend to my situation whenever I am ready to have my children, they will also be celebrated in Jesus name, Ori apesin ni ori awon omo mi
