Sorry David, u need to wait for next 2 yrs...It helps.

What a funny country. So much ignorance even in places where you'd never expect to find it.
Condoleeza Rice gained admission into University at the age of 15 and graduated at 19. She got her Master's degree at age of 21 and her PhD at the age of 26.
She was lucky to have been born in a country that actually takes youth empowerment seriously and not a country like Nigeria where we only pay lip service to it.

It's highly unfortunate. That's why we will continue to experience brain drain in Nigeria. The good ones will continue to leave for better places especially America or Europe. Unilag should be glad that the young intellegent lad applied to study in the school, as such would be a good asset to the institution. Rather he was regected.

Why stop or Delay a brainy. Allow him to run. For maturity it is a national assets and u deploy every available state resources to protect him. Nonsense Africa mentality. What would you have done to james watt ( hope I got it right) who became a professor of physics before 21years. Many years ago. Almost 4 centuries ago.

It's ignorance on the part of those giving him educational advice. If or school won't take you, why not apply to another??
I know for a fact that UI takes candidates not up to 16 years and they defer their admission automatically for 1 session. No rewriting of any exams.

Oau takes candidates lesser than 16 and they resume school fully immediately.

You should do your research properly and have alternatives in things like this

I simple Change of Institution to another university is the best solution.
