One Nigerian teenager must feel like she has the world at her feet after receiving 19 full-ride scholarship offers from universities across the United States and Canada.
Victory Yinka-Banjo, a 17-year-old high school graduate, was offered more than $5 million dollars' worth of scholarship money for an undergraduate program of study, according to admission documents and estimates of financial aid awards.
Other US scholarship offers included those from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Virginia.

But she can only claim it if she wires $1200 in cash to prove that she has a bank account.
Is this the same person I sent all that money to in response to an email? I was supposed to get three times more money back.
Great story.......wonderful opportunity from the most racist country ever.
“Their admissions processes are extremely selective,” Victory added. “They only accept the best of the best.”
But in the good old USA, advance placement schools cannot just accept the best and brightest of students because of racial equity. We are getting to be FUBAR.
Yea, she probably wants to keep her pretty head!
Victory Yinka-Banjo isn’t a name one comes across every day.
Then she will stay here and run for representative, join the gang, and tell us about our white privilege.
How many American citizens applied to those schools, and didn’t get in, even though they and their parents were prepared to go deeply in debt to pay the full amount?
Is she 8 feet tall?
Why not just take some of the $50 million they have in a bank for me over there?
Is her resume REAL? Or just another Nigerian Scam.
Is there anybody out there who still doesn’t understand why tuition is so high? Because only certain people pay it. The rest don’t. The kid who writes “BLM” 100 times in the application gets in free. The certified victim known as the female person of color gets a free ride.
This is inequality, not equality.
Don't think she is 8' but not a shorty either.
“Victory credits her academic success story to faith, parental guidance and discipline.”
Three things almost no American youths have these days.
Nigerian teen gets 19 scholarship offers worth more than $5 million from the US and Canada...
Hopefully it’s a US and Canadian scam.. payback !
“Unfortunately, she’ll probably get her full ride degree, then never return to her native Nigeria to apply her skills to help her fellow Nigerians.”
Screw Nigeria. We need her here. The REPUBLICAN party should offer her a reward for coming here and a GOP congress can offer instant citizenship in response to those who climb the wall. Just verify she’s not a squad wannabe.
Does anyone here believe the color of her skin fills a slot that otherwise can’t be filled with American’s of color? Still we need her here. That’s what America is all about.
I’ve traveled Africa quite extensively...mainly East Africa and southern Africa...but not Nigeria. If she’s as smart as she seems to be she’ll stay in any Western country that will have her....US,Canada,Europe,etc. If she wants to send money home to help her family that would be very good indeed but I can’t see how Africa is a fit place for any intelligent,industrious person.
