I GUESS YOU HAVE NOT MEET THIS GENIOUS FROM MY TOWN
Call her a prodigy, a genius or a superstar, one thing’s for sure: Saheela Ibraheem is no ordinary teenager. Accepted into Harvard University’s Department of Neurobiology at age 15, Saheela is currently ranked 21st on The Best Schools’ list of the world’s smartest teenagers. Fluent in four languages (including Latin and Yoruba), the 19-year-old skipped several classes in secondary school because of her precociousness: she was always several steps ahead of her peers. Saheela’s brilliance extended beyond the classroom: she sang in the school choir, played the trombone, was a defender for the school soccer team, was on the swim team and headed the school’s investment club. Talk about an all-rounder.
With a SAT score of 2,340, Saheela applied to fourteen universities in 2011, gaining admission into thirteen of them (Stanford, MIT and Cornell included). She decided on Harvard, choosing to study neurobiology with the intention of becoming a research scientist who studies the brain. Still, Saheela is modest about her achievements and believes that with effort and the right kind of support, anyone can achieve greatness. “I try my best in everything I do,” she said. “Anyone who’s motivated can work wonders.”
Saheela recently introduced US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle at a Black History Month event which held in the Green Room of the White House. Acknowledging her exceptional nature, Obama said, “We are so proud of your accomplishments and all that lies ahead of you, and you reflect our history. Young people like this inspire our future.” Watch a video from the event below.BACKGROUND Saheela Ibraheem is the daughter of a United State’s Nigerian-born immigrant parents - Sarafa Ibraheem and Shakirat Ibraheem. Sarafa, Saheela’s father is a graduate of the University of Ibadan, a prestigious Nigerian University. Mr. Ibraheem is a financial analyst at C-level executive, a major financial group in New York. Saheela took after his father and other family members whom she enjoys a very close-knit with. She is a child prodigy and has attributed her success in academics to her family unit and credits them with guiding her education throughout her academic career. Education. Saheela and her parents lived in Piscataway, New Jersey. She attended Edison school, where she was allowed to skip the sixth and ninth grades of junior high school. Her parents who were concerned that the public school did not pose enough challenge for her moved to Wardlaw-Hartridge, a private school in the Edison, New Jersey school district where Saheela had her high school career as a tenth grader. Saheela later got her admission at the age of 15 into Ivy League Harvard where she is currently studying Neurobiology — a branch of science that studies the brain. She is going to graduate in May 2015. 13 top US colleges have indicated interest in and expressed their willingness to see the girl among their students. Saheela however, chose Harvard campus, and became one of the youngest students in the university’s history. Achievements. Saheela is now one of the 50 world’s smartest teenagers. Apart from academics Saheela also engages in several extracurricular activities. She was the president of her school’s Investment Club. She also takes part in sporting activities. Accordingly, she is into soccer, swimming and softball. Apart from English language and her mother tongue, Saheela is fluent in other three different languages: Arabic, Spanish and Latin. Commendation. President Obama, in February, 2015, at an occasion; Black History Month, commended Saheela while she visited, and was officially received at the white house. During the visit, According to the Leadership’s report of March 1, 2015, Obama stated as follows: “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” Black History month, otherwise called African-American History Month, is an annual observance in the USA, Canada, and UK dedicated for the remembrance of the important people and events in the history of the Africans in Diaspora and the contributions they made wherever they are found all over the world.

7 Funny Signs You Are In A Nigerian Hospital
[quote]No one looks forward to a health crisis, but at some points in time, visits to the hospital are inevitable. For those in Nigeria, whether it is for a routine check-up, to get treatment or to volunteer and help sick people into the ward, certain experiences make a trip to the hospital unique. Jumia Travel, Africa’s No.1 online hotel booking portal shares 7 of the funny signs that you are in a Nigerian hospital.
The nurse shares her opinion on your weight
In any Nigerian hospital, before you see the doctor, your temperature and blood pressure, as well as weight, is recorded. Do not be surprised when the nurse makes a bold comment as “Ah, aunty, you are too big for your height, please work on it, oh, It is not attractive” or “ Haba, you are too thin, you no dey chop”. Basically, Nigerian nurses feel they have the license to share their opinions with you and usually, you cannot argue with them.
The receptionist would rather watch African Magic
Most hospitals in Nigeria now are starting to adopt the Electronic Paperwork system, and almost every receptionist or front desk staff in Nigerian hospitals, especially old hospitals, find this annoying. They prefer to just sit, hand out files and watch African Magic on television. In fact, sometimes, they would ignore patients so they do not miss a particular scene in a movie.
You wait so long for everything
From submitting your card, to seeing the doctor, taking tests and collecting your drugs from the pharmacy, you are bound to spend almost an entire day at a Nigerian hospital. The staff seem to take their sweet time in doing almost everything, and so even when there is no crowd, you still have to wait. Good thing is that most of the hospitals have canteens and tuckshops where you can go and eat when you start to get hungry.
There is that IZAL smell
It seems like almost every hospital in Nigeria, especially the public ones, made a decision that they would use IZAL, a strong and very pungent disinfectant, to clean their environs. This smell usually is nauseating, especially when the toilet is not properly cleaned and the offensive odour of faeces and urine mixes with the disinfectant.
The doctor already knows what is wrong with you
Most doctors automatically match symptoms with malaria and typhoid, and so they rush diagnosis without taking basic tests. The patients, who are most times too scared to disagree with the doctor, just agree with the diagnostics and eventually go back when the treatment does not cater to the problem. Sometimes, you cannot blame them as giving Nigerian patients’ room to express themselves fully could encourage them to over exaggerate their symptoms.
You must buy your meds from the hospital
If you are visiting a doctor in a Nigerian hospital, be assured that you will have to buy the medication prescribed from the hospital’s pharmacy. Even when the patient requests to have the medication listed so they can purchase it on their own, the hospital would refuse. This is possibly a way for them to make extra money.
Treatments are overpriced
The bill you receive, usually, is quite pricey compared to the actual cost of the medication given to you and resources used on you.Even worse, the cost of being admitted is so high that some hotel rooms are leased for less. Again, 8 out of 10 hospital bills contain errors, so you may want to check your bill carefully.
