Congratulations to her.
But I have Question:
How come Nigerians are very United when they are outside Nigeria. But when they are in Nigeria they are very divided?

Smple. You can fight with your brother internally, but you'll still protect him from outsiders.

I a time long ago I and my friend were not on talking despite living under the same roof. I went outside and got into trouble, but he came and we fought those guys together. And that was how the quarrel ended.

Those were my days of fighting outside lol.

anonimi:


How does this reflect on the ICT capabilities of her country of birth and the 220 million people she left behind, including her close relatives

dey dia dey ask foolish question..no try make a difference yourself

Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunjobi, first black female Robotics PhD holder in Michigan University, US

A Nigerian female engineer, Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi, has made history by becoming the first black woman to earn a doctorate degree also known as PhD in Robotics at the University of Michigan, United States.

Dosunmu-Ogunjobi made this known on Saturday, while speaking at the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering convocation, on the roles of mentors and advocates in realising her aspirations.

Robotics is the interdisciplinary study and practice of the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. Within mechanical engineering, robotics is the design and construction of the physical structures of robots, while in computer science, robotics focuses on robotic automation algorithms

Oluwami, shortened as Wami, a daughter of Nigerian immigrants Dosunmu-Ogunbi, in the US, was elated about her remarkable feat, as she asserted, “I am the first Black woman to get a PhD in Robotics at the University of Michigan.”

Wami Dosunmu-Ogunjobi said, “I do not stand here on my own two feet alone. None of us got here by our individual merit alone, whether it be teacher, friends, family, mentors, or role models, we each have one or multiple people to whom we are grateful for making this moment possible.”

Speaking on what she wanted to be ed for, the Nigerian female robotics engineer said she wanted to be ed as the University of Michigan’s first black woman to get a PhD in Robotics, and as a person using her knowledge in engineering to improve the lives of others.

“A Michigan Engineer is one who does not just provide scientific and technological leadership, but is also one who is intellectually curious, socially conscious, creates collaborative solutions to societal problems, and promotes an inclusive and innovative community of service for the common good,” Wami Dosunmu-Ogunjobi said.

She added, “We each have a solemn duty to make positive contributions to the world. Well, my reasons for becoming an engineer were initially frivolous, but they eventually moved into something more meaningful. I want to have a positive impact on the world.”

The University of Michigan Robotics Department website describes Dosunmu-Ogunbi’s journey as one shared by many PhD students who initially lack a clear vision for their final goals.

In her website, Dosunmu-Ogunjobi revealed several achievements in her academic journey at the university which included saying, “I was awarded the Intersectional Advocacy Award in recognition for my dedication to honoring and advocating for the intersectional nature of students’ many identities through involvement and activities.”

She also wrote in one of the posts, “I spoke at the College of Engineering Graduate Student Commencement at the University of Michigan on May 1, 2024.” Other posts with photos included, “I presented a poster at the Midwestern Robotics Workshop in Chicago on April 18, 2024.

“I was awarded the Intersectional Advocacy Award in recognition for my dedication to honoring and advocating for the intersectional nature of students’ many identities through involvement and activities.

“I had the opportunity to inspire a group of high school girls from “Girls Who Code” by telling them about my PhD journey. I represented Michigan Robotics at the Robotic and Intelligent Systems Expo (RISE) at Purdue University on March 30, 2024,” Dosunmu-Ogunjobi added.

The number of Nigerians making waves in academics and technology across the globe keeps growing as they continually contribute to the development of inventions, innovations and ideas. The beautiful thing about the astounding feats is that both Nigerian men and women are blazing the trail.

Recently, Nigerian female scholar, Professor Rose-Margaret Ekeng-Itua, also emerged as the first black woman to earn a doctorate degree (Ph.D) in Cybernetics in the world.

That's an impressive feat in the field of robotics.

Congratulations to our Diasporan Nigerians, Ms. Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunjobi and Prof. Rose-Margaret Ekeng-Itua on their stellar achievements in the global Tech space within a space of 1 week.

"When you train a woman... YOU train a nation!" That's non-negotiable.

I know na Yoruba woman she go be, solving all impossibility


In Yoruba land ladies are not created to seat down like statue while the man work his ass out day and out


Yoruba women won't even seat down at home comfortably, the spirit to work is always in them, no wonder many great women in Nigeria came from west, the richest women in Nigeria, dominating entertainment, banking industry


God bless all our women across the globe. All thanks to Yoruba parents for investing in all their kids without gender discrimination

Very accurate, most hardworking women in Nigeria after women from the South South

All this first black rubbish self. How many times have you heard of first white?

Racoon:
Another stellar feat by a sister from the South West. Many congratulations madam. More heights to attain.

Our youth are so blinded with division, discrimination, and tribalism. We never see ourselves as one, and it’s always the east versus the west or the north versus the south.

Rosemary Ekeng-Itua bagged a Phd in Cybernetics as the first black woman and we didn't come here to prance on everyone with the Akwa-Cross tribalism rhetorics. We all commended her as a Nigerian.

Retrograde bastards like you will always find the foggiest of opportunities to constitute yourselves into public nuisances. Some of you are in dire need of psychiatric evaluation.

SmartyPants:



People gravitate towards the smallest available unit of community.

When you're in Nigeria that is first your religion, then your region, then your tribe and depending on the complexity of your tribe, your particular State.

When you're outside Nigeria, that is first your race, then your religion, then your region/sub-region(West or East Africa for example), and then your country.

Succinctly stated.

Yoruba Amaka

Another professor award, with zero productive idea. When will black wake up & stop this fake award by white people. Not education took American to where they are today, it skill & researching.

Wow! Congrats!
Naija amaka

Na this kind courses person suppose study...not Animal Husbandry, etc.

The world is tech now.


Congrats omoge

She isnt Nigerian

Let her come back to nigeria... We need her ASAP

Awa president is a robot 😎😎

Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations to her.
But I have Question:
How come Nigerians are very United when they are outside Nigeria. But when they are in Nigeria they are very divided?

Simple.

At home, brothers fight each other. Outside the home, brothers unite for fight their enemies.

When I saw FIRST BLACK, I knew she would be Nigerian

Well done. Omoluabi of Youruba land and Yoruba nation. We shall always be great. Up up Yoruba nation.

opalu:
Congratulations to her.
But I have Question:

The answer is just one.


Because they are being brainwashed by this corrupt politicians on religion and ethnicity.

Leaving abroad will expose someone to the fact that religion does not play a major role on success in life, success is simply through hard work, if you are good at what you do, you get your honour, no body cares wether you are black or white, Muslim or Christian, tall or short.

Bitter Obi will never ever recognise and congratulate this woman .
