10 year-old Andrew Ejemai the son of a Nigerian, of East London passed 2 A Levels in Maths and Additional Maths, subjects that often terrify other students, is on his way to Eaton, after passing the school’s entrance exam and gaining acceptance. The Brentwood Elementary School pupil is determined to gain full admission into this reputable institution. But he’s awaiting an award of full scholarship of 31,000 pounds yearly, to help defray the cost of tuition in this school of his choice. Andrew said: “I’d really like to go there because lots of famous people have been there like David Cameron, Prince William, and Prince Harry.” Who would not like to be associated with a school where the current Prime Minister of his country attended and even the two Princes, who are potential contenders to the British Monarchy?

Andrew’s future is potentially very bright. For education is the palm oil that lubricates the mind and becomes the stairwell leading to higher height and invariably opens up closed doors. There are so many gifted kids out there in Africa and beyond, craving for opportunities in developing their mind, who should not have to worry about basic needs like food, clothing, shelter or medical necessities.

Reflecting after passing his A Levels in Maths and Additional Maths this year he said: “I was a little bit nervous at the start but as I got through there were things that I knew so I relaxed. I want to be a computer engineer but I also want to run for the country at 200m, my hero is Usain Bolt.

Andrew’s father, Sony, a Revenue & Customs customer service advisor, who immigrated from Nigeria, said: We’re very proud. Our belief is that every child is a genius and we cannot leave it to the state or the school to bring out this genius in the school. We as parents have to be involved in the day to day nurturing of our children and personally I believe we can get the best out of them for the good of humanity. We visited the school once or twice and the last time we went the head teacher and his wife gave us a tour around the school and they were very supportive that our son had such aspiration. It is a dream come true for him and us.

Despite the recent bad news that came from the United Kingdom involving rioting and vandalism carried out mostly by the youth, there’s still hope that given the right opportunities and effective parenting our youth could still do well in school and eventually produce good grades. There’s inadequate opportunities for other kids with an uneven playing field, but this is not a license to act irresponsibly. Students too must be held accountable for their actions especially when public disorder is disrupted and lives and properties are in jeopardy.

This sends a powerful message that good behavior and hard work are always rewarded by society to encourage good students to be most productive and responsible.

Easy, so you expect the little boy to talk about this bunch of idiots that keep this country were we are today? He could have also talk about Abacha and IBB, not only OBJ and co.  either BRIKO OR NAIJA, the paper said 10 yrs old Nigeria. Lets appreciate good thing, we no dey carry last

Appreciate what? This boy is not from Nigeria, his parent are. Lets stop this sh.it already.

I'm seriously afraid for this boy.

Maths is the easiest subject ever so getting an A doesnt mean he's gonna have it easy with other courses unless he's going in for Maths/Applied Maths.

Even at that, there's more to uni than books. Hope he'll have friends? What 18 year white upperclass wants to roll with a 10 year old kid? An african at that!

Lonely years ahead.

Kinda reminds me of that 8 year old asian kid at MIT.

Couldn't even hold a mature conversation but knew maths like #@%&

About 800 views so far and only a handful of comments. Nigerians and mediocrity! If the lad is Igbo or Yoruba, you'd get tidy cheers from all corners.

Feel so proud of the young man at 10, to have such achievement to his credit.

And yet another bright young mind has shown that Nigerians are not stupid.

Though I have reservations with regards to his ability to relate well with much older boys at Eton (should he get in), and that he may never use his knowledge to serve Nigeria in future, I'm still proud of him and people of his ilk. At least not every Nigerian in Europe is a criminal, a con man or a prostitute.

Well done boy, keep the flag flying. Represent ooo!!!

Could this be real

Either he is a Naija or not
All I need to say is [size=18pt]congrats [/size]

Well MAYBE the Nigerian Steve Jobs in the Making,
