    I could guess Enin and his family had a very challenging decision to make, but I think Yale is an excellent choice as far as Science education is concerned. More grease on your elbows!

  • Barfi 10 years ago

    Oue names must not be changed to suit somebody's convenience.

  • Nii Gbemi 10 years ago

    His name is Enin, an Ashanti. Grand dad was WK Enin of Asokwa and Bantama, originally from Ahafo mim. The Ashanti Enin's are quite unique is spelling their last name quite a few different ways. Enin, Anin and Ennin

  • Nii Gbemi 10 years ago

    I stated that its a fanti name because I know a lot of them with that name. But the earlier writer suggested that His name is ANIN and not ENIN and its entirely out of the question. Whether he is ashanti or fanti or nzema or ...

    how many more years do we need to see this damn!!!!!!

  • The Mask 10 years ago

    We congratulate this Ghanaian but we must hasten to caution that this is not the first time. A few Ghanaians who went to school in Ghana and applied from Ghana were also accepted into all ivy league institutions.

  • Joe Turkey 10 years ago

    Name one Ghanaian student anywhere in the world who was accepted into all Ivy League schools. Asshole. Some of you are just too known.

  • GOLD 10 years ago

    Turkey, why insult The Mask just because he made a claim?

    Is it out of human possibility for that to occur?

    All schools look for top grades (well, and political connections and a cinch of financial independence) to admi ...

  • GOLD 10 years ago

    No, you don't know whether it's his kids or my kids he is talking about.

    In any case, that's not the issue.
    The issue is that The Mask has the right to tell us that other Ghanaians have achieved same.

    He is not pooh-po ...

    Gold, i admire the quality of your use of the English language...one of my uncles was the first Ghanaian to help with computer programming at IBM but nobody hears or not many people know about this.

  • GOLD 10 years ago

    Teye, thank you.
    Your uncle is a genius to me.
    And, of course, Student Enin is a great achiever.
    God bless both.
    All of us Africans must be proud of these two because they beat positive trails.

  • Jerssie Jay Agyemang (USA). 10 years ago

    Barfi, please do not try to chage somebody name. His name is Enin and not Anin. He is Fante Boy and NOT Ashanti shoe shine boy.

  • Anita 10 years ago

    Name one student from all over the world who has been accepted into all Ivy League Schools. The young man is amazing !

  • Nii Gbemi 10 years ago

    Look, In American History, this has not happened before for all 8 Ivy league colleges to accept a student. That's why it became news and if it had happened before the news would have mentioned it. According the news reports, ...

  • Malata 10 years ago

    Making too big of a deal of it? He had parental support. I know guys who took only one of the two A Level papers and still passed. I had 5 ones in the 'O' Levels at age 15. It's just overkill to apply to all Ivy League scho ...

    Malata you can't even write English properly and you dare lie about brilliant o'Level grades. Grow past your unhelpful jealousy. The young man has achieved a feat and we must appreciate that, and we should, even he weren't Gh ...

    THANK YOU PAPA KAMARA.THIS MEDIA hype has been taken too far.GHANAIANS in America are not even aware of this story.

  • Abdul Latif 10 years ago

    Of course he might not move to Ghana for any reason of Ghana's development and does he have to?

    Ghana honors and appreciate his success because it is an honor, and rightfully so. It is natural.

    In fact, I believe there ...

  • Yaa Nkosuo 10 years ago

  • ABS 10 years ago

    Funny people! Instead of congratulating him, you guys are fighting over his tribal affiliation. You may end up branding him as NDC/NPP.
    Great guy by all standard. May the lord see him through.

  • Jim 10 years ago
