Making 'Naija' Proud: Young Nigerian Migrant Graduates From Cambridge University With a First Class degree in Economics


This is Sogo Akintaro. He went from being a first generation migrant, a black male living on a council estate in South London, to graduating from Cambridge University with a First Class degree in Economics.
"it's fair to say that I wasn't 'supposed' graduate from Cambridge University with a First Class degree in Economics.

"If you know my journey, you'd know that it hasn't been an easy one. I'm blessed and fortunate to have a strong support network around me. Those who made me believe anything was possible. My mother has sacrificed everything to provide me with the opportunities I've had. She's my rock. Nevertheless, I can't help but believe there's been divine intervention through out this journey.
