congrats

Good girl, Genevieve Nnaji you see. It too her long but she did it. You do need a degree you know! Even our Oluchi bagged one. It does lend you some credibility. Sad thing is people like Tonto said they went to school and yet they still need elocution lessons.

Y is it that some people cant just congratulate without sayin negative things? If she graduated at 30 so wat. Does it really matter? The. Main point here is that she graduated and thumb up. Congrats to her. Well done

Hey anonymous, come down from your high horse. I have seen older graduates. Its not about how young or old you are, it's about how far you go.

Congrats Agbani. And to the person comparing her with Geneieve, there is no basis for comparism. That Geneieve is without a degree doesn't make her inferior. Don't judge by degree cos she is not complaining to you

Oluchi graudated in 2010...according to an interview she gave in March 2010 .
See Oluchi statement in A: Answer

Q: What's something surprising about you?

A: I'm graduating from college in May from NYU with a bachelor's in leadership and management. I've been going forever, like six years.

Q: What will do you with the degree?

A: I feel like I'm at a transition where I need to figure it out. In the meantime, I just keep living my life and having fun.

Q: Why did you want to go to college?

A: I did it for myself. I did it because I promised my dad I would. I did it for me so when I pick up a newspaper I can understand what they are saying.

O God ...people nd negative comments...may God have mercy on u people and take away all ur frustration dat makes u so negative ...Amen


Congrats agbani..

Anonymous said...

Guess what? SHE WAS NOT THE OLDEST IN HER CLASS!! This is the United States. They don't have your kind of mentality that beliefs that once you're old, you can no longer gain admission into uni or attend uni. Here, education is for the young and old. Didn't you hear of the 80 years old man that just graduated this semester or the 50 something from Columbia Uni that took 14 years. But guess what? They did it.

Thank you jare. You graduate at 21/23 and you realize you don't like what you studied because your parents influenced your decision. You studied accounting and then move back home to become a presenter on flytime

Nigerians are narrow minded. There is a cleaner who just graduated from an ivy league school at the age of 52 or so. Keep limiting yourselves because of age and run to a man's house since that's all you people know how to do.

Tyra banks just completed her masters degree a few months ago and the age of 37 and she makes money more than most of your parents. My dear, allow age and your small mind be detriments to your growth.

Anon :11:38, your such a dumb ass..dint yu see dat linda wrote 'major in psychology' not bachelors' like you wrongly understood it,undergraduate class ko undergraduate class ni..ode,btw she had her first degree frm uniport.. Congrats agbani!

Anon May 16, 2012 2:30 PM cool on the abuse, Agbani didn't finish from UNIPORT. She left for the pageant and continued in NY.

Thanks for the Oluchi clarification. Good on her.

Anonymous said...

Agbani great achievement...to the anon that think a degree is the end all be all. you better think again. It is becoming worthless by the second...especially the ones obtained from America...it is basically a scam and they know it.

Anonymous said...

Lmao Nigerians sha! Anon 2:30 biko in North America 'Major' refers to ur area of specialty in an undergraduate level. Stop with ur ITK while u are ahead...coz that was a very dumb comment disguised to look intelligent, HAhahaa

Anonymous said...

@May 16, 2012 2:30 PM .....Before you go calling someone dumb ass , be sure of your statement and facts..... I dont know if Agbani finished from Uniport but that graduation gown she is wearing is for first degree......

I saw more pictures on another site and if you know yankee educational system, Bachelous, Master and PHD gown designs are different ....... This is definitely first degree

Anonymous said...

May 16, 2012 2:30 PM........ You sound like a dumb ass , ODE Agbani did not finish from Uniport . check your fact well before you insult others......it,undergraduate class ko undergraduate class ni..

O yeah , its undergraduate class for real, this graduation gown is for undergrad, Master style is different on the hand and so is PHD with 3 stripes

Anonymous said...

Abeg stop showing ur ignorance. You major in psychology and graduate with a bachelor's. It doesn't mean anything different. I would know because I have my bachelor's in psychology.

jennietobbie said...

I stay away from negative comments, but damn!! Nigerians are *gasps* BEYOND BACKWARD!!! Who CARES about age? Really?? Maybe leaving a line or two stupidly coated with negative and ignorant words is the best way to seek attention online these days.... smh

Congrats Agbani!!!! All the best!!! See you at the top xo

Anonymous said...

It is first degree oooo, at least according to the gown, MS and doctorate gown is different ……. I guess better late than never ,

Over here, people go to school because they understand the importance of knowledge and advancing in whatever field they want. We Nigerians, most of us, do it because of our parents. We are not taught to become inviduals but to fit into the society and be like everyoneelse that is why you find some parents comparing their children to other children. We find it hard to develop in basic things that help our society but put a computer in front of some Nigerians and they will turn it into a fraud and Facebook affair instead of doing research on better things. Put a married man in the midst of women ranging from age 25 and above and they will be fighting for him.

iCandy said...

Congrats ladies.
Here in the US it doesn't matter what age you graduate from college the most important thing is getting that degree and what you make out of it. Ignore the fickle minded dude with the shallow comment. He needs to get a life and very fast for that matter.

Anonymous said...

Omo, Naija folks, some of una are so uneducated you don't even know it. When I got my BA the oldest in my graduating class was 55 years old. If Naija ppl can just think beyond the box, Naija go progress. Make some of yall here stop asking the mumu question of "who graduates at 30 yrs old"?

Anonymous said...

At the person complaining about age at graduation. In Nigeria you graduate early without any achievements and you spend the next 2-3 decades or eternity in the underachievement bucket. Agbani has what most would never have - education, money, a title, world travels etc all by age 30. The whole package abeg. Make una leave my rivers sister alone. I am so happy I dont read sexcapades about her. No wonder, she dey jack her book well well. You don try.

Anonymous said...

Good for Agbani and Oluchi. I bet Ojy will now want to go back to school.

Anonymous said...

Tyra banks has a master degree ????......... are you joking or for real . SHe went and got a diploma from Havard , which was a 3weeks program for about 2years making it 6weeks of classwork in the 2 years...... Thats hardly called a bachelous degree not to talk of Masters.
Anyone can go to Havarad for that course , it will just put a hole in your pocket for 33,000 usd .. All na money , do you think they is pass or fail in that class...hehehe

Anyway Good luck to Ms Agbani and Oluchi , better later than never

Oluchi was not and currently is not a Super model.

Linda, you dont need to overhype people on your blog. It makes u come off as being ignorant.
