According to TapIntoNewark, an online newspaper, Okafor received an International Baccalaureate diploma with a record-shattering 4.625.grade-point average from the school.


His GPA is the highest among Newark’s 2,649 graduates in the Class of 2023, and highest-ever for the city public school district.


It earned him more than 40 scholarship offers, many from the nation’s top universities: Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Penn State, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, and Rutgers.

“I am grateful for the opportunities to attend such esteemed universities and to represent my family and community.

“I do not take lightly the privilege and responsibility to be among the few individuals selected for such honors,” Okafor said.

“There’s absolutely nothing average him,” Science Park principal Darlene Gearhart said.

“Achunike is an extraordinary (person). He’s humble, driven, and industrious. He has always been a great kid. He is always eager to learn,” Gearhart said.

“His achievements are a testament to his perseverance, resilience, and dedication to excellence. We wish him continued success at Harvard, and look forward to more accomplishments from him in the future,” León said.

Achunike’s father Godfrey Okafor said his son’s achievements are also a source of family pride.

“We place a high on education in our home. Education, and continuing to learn in life, allows young people to provide for themselves and their families, and build their future,” Okafor, a high school math teacher, said.

Godfrey Okafor says his five other children, including two older sons and three daughters, are currently studying computer engineer and pharmacology, or enrolled at nursing school and law school.

Seun and his Mods won't push this to the fp for some strange reason, why's the Mmesoma JAMB drama flooding the FP? has Mmesoma committed a worse crime than Tinubu who is in court for forging his own academic records from Chicago state University?

Country = USA
Ethnicity = Igbo

If you are not okay with this go to court

But seriously Igbos are doing well academically

A blessed people. A city set on a hill that can not be hidden.

By the time tulumbu is done with yqou, the price will reduce to 500 naira per plot. Lazy people.

Congratulations!

Africans break academic and other records all the time overseas. Only Nigerians chest beat and celebrate as if they are the only ones, creating unnecessary attention to themselves. This has derailed chances and careers from jealous colleagues.

If Nigerians are so brilliant and resourceful, why is their villages, towns and country barren dumps?

They have to "develop" others backyard but their own. Attract your talents and others home with tolerance, peaceful co-existence and accommodating behavior within you and outside. Instead of beating your chests when the sun rises.
