The guy sent me his message to share. Read below...
My name is Akinmuda Oluwafemi, presently a 500level medical student of the college of Medicine, university of lagos.
October 19 2007, at the age of 15, I alongside Mercy Richards, Yetunde Brown and Henry Akahara represented Nigeria at the House of Commons, London to participate in the world slavery youth debate. We returned back to Nigeria with Gold medals.
An Evidence of good performance and representation of the federal republic of Nigeria.
Only Henry Akahara was granted scholarship by the lagos state government under the administration of Governor Raji fashola to study in the UK... he claimed to have been the only one that went for the debate and won the medal and the lagos state government without making further investigations granted him.
I remember, the director of the British council called a meeting with we all and our parents to be quiet that in due time we would be called. Till now, nothing.
I'm just reminiscing, next year I would be a doctor, do I want to serve this country?Does this country have anything to offer?
Even when you go the extra mile to represent and honour this country at different levels and you still are not appreciated, I ask myself is it worth it being a Nigerian? On second thoughts however, is it just the PDP government that was so selfish and corrupt and won't recognise an award for excellence from the highest level "The Queen of England Herself" courtesy LORD John Prescott? Is it worth is being a Nigerian???
Google "kemishia Kelly" she was a participant, ever since recognised by Jamaica as a participant. Even wikipedia recognises her. All other people that participated in the debate today are recognised for their excellence and hold strong posts in their various countries.
And here I am, just reminiscing.
I just want all Nigerians to read this, and think of it over and over....
So in all I just want this to go public, and let all Nigerians feel my pain, and lookout for this APC administration. Would they prove me wrong about my feeling as a Nigerian? Do they appreciate excellence?? Time would tell...

Hmmmmm, I don't know what to say about dis. Linda take note!
It's so painful this country has no regard for talent. Whatever u do, just do it for urself. When u bcom successful and ur name is heard worldwide, Nigeria begins to claim u as theirs. It's tough bn a Nigerian. No motivation from the government. All they do is loot and loot. U have to be ur own motivation at all times.
Hello oooo!
He d well and wrote gallantly well all thru...
In fact we already know d sydrome wit our govt wit their lackassical attitude towards appreciating those dat hav brought honour to their father's land.
Indeed a prophet is not recognise@home but those outside d shores really appreciate and respect them.
Its well wit our souls!

My dear, if you are waiting for recognition from man or even Nigeria you are wasting your time cous that will get you no where. Just do you
How this guy won the said debate is a mystery to me! I mean I don't understand what the rant is about? Is it about Nigeria not recognizing him, or Fashola not awarding him scholarship, or the British council, or the PDP government, or the other participant being awarded a scholarship or Wikipedia not acknowledging their win?! I don't understand! Then the issue of serving 'this country' lol. He needs to take a chill pill. Some of us represent this country outside without making noise about it. It's our country!
Eyah, so sad.. I hope t right authorities see this tho.
Goodluck bro
Keep on wailing my broda. U beta fund a sponsor to finance a masters program for you abroad and start working there. Those bastard old mehn don't give two fucks if you can heal cancer as long as the hopeless system enables them fund first class medical treatment abroad on the expense of the poor, hungry masses who can't even afford to buy Panadol for headache... They care less if such home,grown talents rot away
I feel his pain..
1. How was Henry the only one who got a scholarship? And how was he able to convince the state government that he was the only one who participated in the competition?? And why didn't yiy and the others speak up then??
Something doesn't sound right.
2. There are so many people who deserves recognition who haven't gotten it. Just be grateful that you're career is on the right track. Maybe, and just maybe God has something better in stock for you.
3. You don't need to beg for recognition. No! The gift of a man makes a way for him, it brings him in the presence of kings and not mere men. So stop this act of attention seeking.
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
God is all u need bro
So u vexed cus d govt didn't appreciate what u did or recognized u welp I guess the govt would wake up to there duties. Nigeria tho we in God Hands
Somebody give the guy a scholarship if he got screwed. More importantly, what's the world slavery debate? What was his position during the debate? Hope he didn't posit a thesis that embarasses black people the world over.
Since 2007?! tshwww next please!
I was very much aware of Di's competition,Henry from government govt college in Lagos,and he was even granted interview by 9pm news of nta,well I feel ur pains now....henry is now a big boy..finish from UK and he is even married to a white girl....its well
That's naija for u....
hey shot up dere. Stop transferring ur anger on us. It wasn't our fault that u were unfortunate not to have gotten a scholarship. And instead of thinking maybe Nigeria has something or nothing to offer you just go back to meet you mother, Queen of England to hire you as her private medical consultant...Just to be mild, it was a commendable thing that u went to represent Nigeria and came back with ur colleagues shinning. Don't worry brother anywhere u go Nigeria or else where u will still shine and be on top of ur game. Bless up son
Another Yoruba coward with bias mind on political party flag and colour, we'll both pdp and apc are the same devil flying on the same bird wing, or should I say both of the same bed just different wings shoot down the bed called Nigeria and be recognised stop representing the evil called Nigeria
We kw such tn do hppn
Dude I feel ur pain yea, but we have more pressing issues okay? Do me a favour please...
Warisdis...park well abeg...
You are just looking for Pity Parties and how to f side confusion and argument on this blog! How can you turn from the country not recognizing you to Lagos govt (APC) not granting you scholarship then back to PDP being selfish!
You are just hungry for attention. The mere fact that you brought politics into this is rather annoying and a low blow. Expect NOTHING from the govt. work on yourself and how you can rise above what has happened and be a better person that can/will achieve greater things in life.
Oga pls you have reached 500l... Please move on. We thank you for the wonderful contribution you have made for this country. Now, learn to expect nothing for giving something and you will realize your life will be much happier.
Trully sorry about how you were treated but I think you lost it by politicising it (PDP/APC ) ish lagos starlet had been APC all the while so there wasn't room for such reference
With a face like dat it's possible they won't recognise u. Sorry man!
its until he goes for pageant or drops an album he will be recognised.
this is what is killing this country.
Femi fits i recognise you oh!!!!!
lets pray for a better Nigeria...
Good for you. TIMILEYIN BLESSING
My brother/son, I feel ur pain, but God will take u to higher places than the others if u blv in him. Forget humans, Gods recognition and upliftment in ur field is all u need. With ur hard work and Gods favour, those that took d scholarship by tricks will someday fast n pray just to b able to book appointment wt u. Just blv in urself. Na so person dey take person luck go shine. This young man deserves to b well recognized. Sh*t happens only in Naija
U finish yourself when you mention PDP goverment..........Fashiola did not recognise you,was he a PDP Gov.,guy,i pray the APC goverment you do something good for you,but stop the abuse
Mtcheeeeeeew .
The only thing that matter to them is how much they r making from oil and gas everyday. No mind them. God dey
Long hiss. with this lack of eloquence there is little wonder why you were not recognized. I feel your pain bro but wake up and smell the roses. the bitterness in your statements will lead you know where. What has PDP and corruption or APC have to do with it? Where you paid the allowances that were due you? Did you pay for ur ticket? Did you accommodate yourself? Were you forced there?
ede.ozed@gmail.com
so sorry my dear.I learnt this long time ago,that in Nigeria and as a Nigerian,you have to work out your own progress because our government don't about us.
Don't even rub it on political parties...But if serving Nigeria is worth it is the question then yes it is worth it...because at the end it's the lives you affect that matter and not the standing ovation or the likes...I know how you feel but my brother when you expect less you won't be disappointed... the U-17 champions were given 20k each for winning the cup 5 times now by the current president...imagine how they'd feel...so the thing is in a country where the human resource is not valued do your thing and expect nothing or less from the Govt..they are all the same.

God help we youth in this country
Seyilicous
Lol.. talking as if u dont knw where u come from
Wikipedia? People do that themselves. And why did your co chair do you dirty? There's more to this.
U have taken the right step. U will be recognized by the APC government.
Mr oluwafemi are you new here?
This is Nigeria!
Move on already God has a bigger plan for you...Stop reminiscing
Why tagging political parties in this?
My advice to you is to move on with ur life and stop waiting on some set of pple that doesn't giv a shit about you...you hav a good future ahead of u either here or abroad with ur doctorate degree.
Awwwn femi fits....
you sharp neh
you sharp neh
Yea..I feel his plight.but on the other hand...one problem with Nigerians is that.we don't dowhat I call selfless service...we lack that.its either we want to get paid for it or get recognised...young man..let by gone be by gone..good a thing the queen remembered u...
HE WOULD HAVE SENSE IF HE DIDN`T MENTION ANY POLITICAL PARTY
HE JUST WANTS TO BE NOTICED BY APC AND ALSO HE WANTS THEM TO GIVE HIM A POLITICAL APPOINTMENT:
Guy I need to treat ur case as urgent as I can but first let me ask you few question 1. Who organise the event. 2. On which platform did you use to represent Nigeria at the said event. 3. The guy that was awarded by BRF administration were you not from the same platform. 4. If there is anybody to blame on dis it should the platform that took you guys to the event. May Almighty Allah reward your good deed.
Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the comment writers alone and does not reflect or represent my view.
So on top all the noise of what you supposedly achieved....your brain no tell you say its 'lord' what what not LORD.....only THE ALMIGHTY is addressed as such.....'ODE'
Hmm
Continue reminiscing. Must u criticise any political party while trying to make complaints of u not been recognised in Ur silly achievements. Guess the chap that was honoured was the main talent. Am sure u were hiding behind his shadows during the event. If u want u can go to Sudan or Chad and serve as a doctor since u feel Nigeria does not need u. Nonsense
Oga focus on ur pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology! Leave Award
Bros, once you're a Nigerian you're O.Y.O, #AskMeWhyBongaFish
May God help us all. May he help the leaders of this country see wisdom.
LIB FANS.. U ALL VE no chill tho... the guy us jus making a point... u all re so touchy about politics. . Gosh!!
You're stupid, you can't even understand the young man's feelings about this, you sit down in front of ur shallow mud-looking house and make shallow comments with ur shallow brain about how his comment was not properly written! Have u even seen a real aeroplane before not to talk of board one to the UK to represent ur country, with your 'proper' English. What's the use of your English when it's all a waste to humanity, u should get a life fool!
My dear,move on with your life. I guess the other person given award has connection so he took advantage of it.
Face your studies afterall you didnt pay a dime for the opportunity given to represent Nigeria _your flight, accommodation, transport and feeding was catered for.you should be thanking God you were even picked.
Stupid goat. Empty brain i can see you onky know how to critisize others.
Femi stay quiet you never even travelled before. It was a great opportunity for you. Thank the Lord and face your studies. Work hard so you dont depend on their scholarship or recognition- it gets you no where
nice one brother lets just accept it and move on
sorry you feel used but you also sound like an opportunist. I think you waited this long to speak because you will graduate soon and you do not want to have to look for a job. Anyway, wake up bros, other people have done bigger things for Nigeria and they still live their life without handouts and "national recognition".
Our leaders are Nigerians. Same Nigerians that have spewed so much ignorance in this comments section. Most have resigned themselves to thinking this is how things are this is how things will be. Others don't even recognize the importance of National Pride. Femi you have done more for your country than most people here. Pray for Nigeria the new generation looks to be more of the same.

@Anonymous 2:45pm you are such a big fool, if you wanna know. I've lived in the uk all my life and I still live here so yes I've seen planes and of course I've sat in planes before. Miserable you
Its so obvo u can only represent the country as a yahoo boy, Instead of you to support the guy.
You a stylishly boasting like Nuisance !!! Ode
Davido driver, u re right. The pic he send to Linda was not nice for this msg @ all. But I feel ur pain bro, let us watch nd pray for PMB nd APC government to succeed nd change Nigeria.
U sure say you're a medical student? Ok o. Meanwhile if the whole world recognizes you and God does not, it is a waste but if God recognizes you.......... Seek the recognition by God and not man. Also you're not the only one in that shoe........cheer up.
Hummmmm......I understand how he feels. Its just a pity.
#TeamBlessed#
Hummmm....I understand exactly how he feels, its just a pity.
#TeamBlessed#
This guy is an idiot
There are so many Nigerian intellectuals and genuises abroad including me who still do stuff to help my fellow Nigerians back home whether recognised or not.
Intellectuals don't rant someone will make noise on your behalf.
I think you should take a bucket and drown .You are just 1 out of 170 million Nigerians.
Oga you are not the only person that it has happened to, Google Emenike Gideon. It also happened to me and Gideon 2012 under gov. Rochas okorocha, wike the then minister of Education. Invited us promised to send us abroad but today am at UNN studying Civil Engineering and Gideon at NDA, it was even Gideon that made the news to carry our story then by launching our rocket without permission here in Nigeria, it was a test lunching, that failed. The news carried only Gideon putting me aside, in fact I have to stop here, Nigeria is not worth my citizenship. See Gideon wasting in NDA, if and only if they understand what we are made of. I can build any type of weapon that you can think of its as easy as ABC , WIke and Rochas messed us up. Today am proudly a BIAFRAN. Highly talented, I rep FGC Okigwe
Gerrarahiaaaa mean..... Just had to complete it for you....... But ur comment is stylishly senseless
Scammmmmmmm
Nigeria does not care for us, it cares only for his/her pockets! Our leaders suck at encouraging the next generation, they do everything in their power to bring us down!
Biggest fool @ d highest order,big for notting,you know how to write and speak? AbeG make I heal word
Stfu anonymous
~D great anonymous!
You sound like an opportunist. There's something called selfless service for the country. If u expect recognition then ur service wasn't selfless. Plus...if ur flight n accommodation was catered fr by the govt I dont see any reason for the rant. Just do that which u can and leave the rest for God. Others have done more n haven't made noise over it!
Shut up
Nigerians are pretentious. Imagine telling him to seek recognition from God alone or asking him if he is selfless.
He deserved a scholarship to study abroad. He won the gold medal. N how can the scholarship only be given to 1 person.
Instead of people to protest with him, they keep on arguing N questioning his motives
When you work u deserve pay
the sort of stupid replies one gets here all the time is annoying; such as god is all you need, abuses and insults and pity. What!! Who said he doesnt hv god? A young man had just expressed himself, something not totally alien to all of us in different sector and you guys are talking trash. I can imagine the amount of mediocre we have in this country. Not like there is something you can all do, but a least a sense of respect for his plight. We seem to have some many problems we are used to and therefore end up shunning those who cry out. Let us start knowing what to do about this country, before we wouldn't have a story to tell the future generation.
After reading the comments of my country men, I now know beyond any reasonable doubt that the problem of this Country are the people i.e. Nigerians. A young man had a flash back, traveled down the memory lane, and remembered how he [too] had being victimized and sidelined by some unscrupulous individuals who had over the years occupied different positions of power and had either refused to deliver or performed below what they promised [not even below our expectations]. Instead of us to rally round him and demand for justice for him [because an INJUSTICE TO ONE IS AN INJUSTICE TO ALL], some of us are scolding him. Little wonder our politician are preying on our discord and disunity as a people.
But for those of us that are "BEEFING" or "HATING", please kindly continue, Remember that though you might be "TALENT-LESS" or "UNTALENTED" or "UNGIFTED", but one day, someday, God might decide to give a STAR or TALENT as a son or daughter, Niece or Nephew, Husband or Wife, then how will you FEEL if this kind of event that happened to this young man, happen to any of them???
It us well, I know you feel cheated, however one thing you have to know is "all things work together.for good. You are in university maybe If you had gone abroad things might not have worked out well or you may ended up not going to university .
He is jealous of Henry?! 🙈
ROTFL. I now recognize u too.
Lol...
Looks like u have never heard d phrase from d bible... whatever ur hands find to do, do it as unto d Lord. The experience and learnings for Femi from dat project r priceless to say d least. Let him cherish those. Living in d past and holding on to 'grudges' will only rob him of his happiness and future opportunities.
Anyone reading this with potentially something to offer him, will hold back so his name doesn't get paraded on d blog in future for 'perceived' maltreatment.
D parable of d rich man who had 3 servants is not for nothing. Not all d servants received d same amount.
Anonymous 6.02pm, pls u do not represent FGC Okigwe (ubaha) abeg. D school is a Nigerian unity school - a symbol of d unity of Nigeria. Just in case u don't understand d concept of d unity schools.
Best comment ever....
I feel your pain brother.
Our Father Land they say.
