A young visionary Nigerian and a female student of Erudite Millennium, Ibadan, Miss Aisha Boladale, has said that she is confident of getting a scholarship to study abroad without any hassle, just as she won the British Council’s Country Best Award for Cambridge A’ Level Biology examination.

Boladale scored 91% to beat all other Cambridge A’ Level scholars in Nigeria.

She was announced as the winner at an event held at Civic Centre, Victoria Island Lagos weekend.

Boladale, who recently scored 8/9 in IELTS Academic Writing, talks about her experience at the co-educational institution which has its headquarters in Ibadan, Oyo State.

During an exclusive an interview with Vanguard, she said: “I want to specially thank Erudite Millennium Limited for what it has made out of me during my one-year stay.”

“The educational institution is one-of-a-kind in Africa, known for its exemplary performance in different foreign programmes such as Cambridge, the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT), IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, and lots more.”

“I personally joined Erudite in January 2022. I took part in the one-month training for the American College Test (ACT) and got 35 out of 36 in ACT English. Then I joined the Cambridge October November class.”

“I was quite taken aback when I realised it was only going to be an 8-month long programme, “thinking how was that going to be possible, will I not fail this?

“However, Erudite Millennium made it happen, and I came out with 16/16 points (A*AA: 91% in biology, 89% in chemistry and 83% in physics). Then, I proceeded to sit for the SAT after one month of training and scored 1410 out of 1600.”

“I also wrote the IELTS, and I got an overall band score of 8 out of 9, with a band 9 in listening and band 8 in academic writing.”

“The experience I gathered during my stay in Erudite was also immeasurable. I got to share ideas with other students from different educational backgrounds, including people from different parts of the world(America, Qatar, Malaysia, Liberia, and so on).”

“What makes Erudite different from other institutions is the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) Programme, aimed at teaching students the most sought-after skills of the 21st Century, which will not only give them an edge over their peers when getting considered for foreign scholarships, but also provide a money-making opportunity for the young generation.”

“Perhaps what is most notable about Erudite is the utmost professionalism and diligence of the staff members, coupled with the determination to give excellent results in a short period of time and make unimaginable progress.”

“Imagine going from a 60% success rate in the 2022 May/June Cambridge examination to an incredible 80% success rate in the October/November series of the same year!!! This is truly what only Erudite can deliver.”

“For parents who seek both academic and social excellence for their children, Erudite Millennium Limited is the best bet. There is literally nowhere else in the entire Africa where such amazing results are delivered in such little time.

“As the CEO and founder, Mr Saheed Oladele would say,” We don’t celebrate mediocrity.” Erudite Millenium Limited in itself is an epitome of excellence, and so is its founder’.

Also speaking, Boladale’s father, Dr.Abiodun noted that he was surprised to be told that his daughter recorded such achievement.

“My Aisha Scoring 16 points in Cambridge A levels, that’s incredible. She has just been offered admission by University of Ibadan, effortlessly, into 200 level to study medicine and surgery. That is aside offers from universities abroad. Thank you for navigating this journey.”

While speaking with this correspondent, Erudite Millennium Founder/ Chief Executive Officer, Mr Saheed Oladele, noted that Boladale is a representative of October/November 2022 set where the co-educational institution recorded 80% success rate.

“We won British Council’s Country Best Award for Cambridge A’ Level biology on Thursday. Kudos to Aisha Boladale for making Erudite Millennium Ltd proud.”

“She scored 91% to beat every other Cambridge A’ Level scholar in Nigeria. Aisha is a representative of our Oct/Nov 2022 set where we recorded 80% success rate.”

Italian-Senegalese social media sensation, Khaby Lame, known as the world’s most followed TikTok creator, has been deported from the United States after allegedly overstaying his visa, The New York Times reported.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that Lame, 25, was detained last Friday at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.

The agency confirmed the detention in an official statement, stating that Lame entered the country on April 30 but “overstayed the terms of his visa.”

Lame, who rose to international fame for his silent comedic reactions to overcomplicated “life hack” videos, has amassed over 160 million followers on TikTok.

His online popularity led to collaborations with global fashion brands, a role in a Hollywood film, and a reality show on Tubi titled Khaby Is Coming To America.

His deportation has sparked a storm of reactions online.

“Every single illegal alien needs to be DEPORTED. When I found out the biggest TikTok star, Khaby Lame, is an illegal alien evading taxes, I worked with Trump’s ICE to have him removed. He’s since been detained by ICE and removed,” Bo Loudon, a Gen Z Trump supporter and self-styled activist, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Following his deportation, Lame has not issued any formal statement. However, on Monday, he posted an Instagram story tagged in São Paulo, Brazil, marking his first confirmed location since leaving the US

Lame’s former legal representative, Riccardo Lanzo, told The New York Times that the influencer had spent significant time in the US recently but acknowledged uncertainty regarding his visa status.

The case came amid a broader immigration enforcement push under Trump’s renewed administration.

Trump Unveils Website For $5m US Residency Visa

President Donald Trump touted a new website for his planned $5 million US residency permit on Wednesday, saying the waiting list for the golden visa has opened on TrumpCard.gov.

“Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

Trump unveiled the first such visa aboard Air Force One in April, holding a golden prototype that bore his face and promising the special permit would probably be available “in less than two weeks.”

The visas are not available yet, but the website announced Wednesday allows interested parties to submit their name, desired visa and email address under a header that says “The Trump Card is Coming.”

Trump previously said the new visa, a high-price version of the traditional green card, would bring in job creators and could be used to reduce the US national deficit.

The announcement comes as deportation raids are being ramped up across the country, prompting protests, and as Trump’s administration faces ongoing lawsuits and accusations of rights violations over its anti-immigration blitz.

Trump has said the new card would be a route to highly prized US citizenship. He said in February that his administration hoped to sell “maybe a million” of the cards and did not rule out that Russian oligarchs may be eligible.

19-year-old Nigerian Artiste Beaten To Death In Ghana

A 19-year-old upcoming Nigerian artiste identified simply as Destiny has been beaten to death in the Volta Region area of Ghana.

According to The PUNCH, the incident happened on May 28.

It was gathered that a yet-to-be-identified Nigerian based in Ghana accused him of failing to remit funds related to a business venture they introduced him to.

The male adult, who was also said to be among those who facilitated his trip to the country, stormed his apartment alongside two others to question him about the funds.

However, Destiny’s failure to provide answers led to a severe assault meted out to him.

A source privy to the incident told The PUNCH on Tuesday on the condition of anonymity because he lacked the authority to speak with the media that the Edo State-born artiste thereafter succumbed to the injuries sustained from the assault.

“Destiny went to Ghana to further his education, and the travel was facilitated by someone he called his street brother. These are the same people who provided an apartment for him over there. Those who broke the news to us from there said the men introduced him to a business, which they later accused him of diverting some funds meant for the business. This angered them, and they went to his apartment and beat him up. The beating was so intense that he felt weak and gave up the ghost in the process,” the source narrated.

It was further learnt that the suspects left the deceased’s body in the room after they discovered that he was motionless.

Another source who spoke to newsmen said the police later discovered the corpse a few days after the incident.

“The police were alerted to the incident, and some officers were deployed to the apartment where Destiny’s remains were found. We were told that no suspects had been arrested since his death. We hope the Ghanaian authorities find his killers and bring them to justice.”

In a video obtained by The PUNCH, Destiny was seen speaking about himself and what his plans were.

He said, “I am Destiny and I am a streamer from Nigeria. I want to apply to Streamers University, and this will be a great joy for me, my mother, and everybody. I am also an artiste and a gamer. I do all sorts of things.”

Recall that in April a 77-year-old Nigerian Uber driver, Olatunji Bolaji, was killed in a shooting outside a hookah lounge in Philadelphia, United States.

Bolaji, who lived in Norristown, Pennsylvania, was on duty around 2 a.m. on Wednesday when he picked up a passenger, a 22-year-old man, outside the Byblos Hookah Bar near Rittenhouse Square in Centre City, CBS reports on Friday.

Police said shortly after Bolaji picked up the young man, another vehicle pulled up behind his SUV, and two men got out.

One of them opened fire, shooting both Bolaji and the passenger.
