I should've made a post like this about Deloitte University
CA1- Deloitte University is actually harder to get into than Harvard, (I can’t believe you haven’t heard) so I guess it is not in the same category. 🤣
If you were one of the Lord’s masterpieces, wouldn’t you want to be displayed on a Canvas in his honor? It’s the humble thing to do

He uses word humble a lot, but I am not sure he knows what it means. 😂😂 “I am humble to —insert any brag—“
I don’t think this is bragging. The writer is literally just stating they got into some degree programs.
Simply stating that you got into both programs, then going on talking about them for several paragraphs is definitely bragging. I get being proud, especially assuming that they grew up with limited opportunities
I hope I never work with this guy
Also, yes 4 out of a country is impressive, but given 180 places exist on the course, 1 in 45 being Nigerian is statistically above average..
This is cultural - important to remember this person’s mother uses a local dialect. This would sound very different in the local language.
Many cultures have rich storytelling histories and and very different perspectives on concepts like humility, God, and community.
Often, in a tribal culture one person’s triumph is everyone’s triumph - this really is a celebration of the whole villiage it took to raise this person up.
In India, some villages will all pitch-in for one member to go to America. The requsite response to this is eternal gratitude and a lifetime of helping the village and members.
Check your ethnocentracism and celebrate this person - a black person by the way, and rather than making fun of him, try to see things his way a little bit.

This for me is the ultimate cringe!
Hm I don’t think this is cringe. They mention they’re from Nigeria. It seems like this is not an opportunity that comes up often there and they’re super grateful and ecstatic about it?
Sometimes the way you present the information reveals motive. Something like, “I’m thrilled to have been admitted to the Harvard LLM program. It’s rare for Nigerians to get this opportunity and I am grateful to have come this far” comes across very different from typing a multi-paragraph short story in which you (i) point out that you got into the only two programs you applied to, (ii) name both elite schools, (iii) point out the exact number of Nigerians admitted to each program, (iv) name the scholarships you were awarded, and (v) add some bizarre bullshit about this having been written in the stars (among other things). To me, the latter easily qualifies as cringe.

I for one am proud that all of my donations to Nigerian princes over the years have resulted in one of their own making it in the big leagues.
I thought the same thing!!
It’s a one year program…

Everyone should brag on themselves every once and a while
