The students are Promise Nnalue, Vivian Okoye, Adaeze Onuigbo, Jessica Osita, and Nwabuaku Ossai. Their team, Save-a-Soul, came top in the competition involving 9,000 girls from across 115 countries with their developed app, FD-Detector, which tackles fake pharmaceutical products in southwestcentral region of Africa.
The Save-a-Soul team had travelled to the US with their teacher and mentor, Uchenna Onwuameagbu-Ugwu, and beaten the group of 12 teams’ finalists which included the US, China and Spain to clinch their gold.
IGBO people can’t wait for Biafra’s restoration of independence from the Anglo-Nigeria genocidist occupation (enforced since 13 January 1970) to open up unlimited opportunities of creativity and innovation for their young people, one of Africa’s most precocious and hardworking. The opportunities are part of strategies crucially factored into the multitudinal transformative landscape that Biafra will project.
