The brilliant boy's result is particularly exceptional for the fact that Odoben SHS is an underprivileged school.

It is also the same school where Priscilla Tettey, the girl in the notorious 'Kitchen Stool' scandal which broke in 2018, came from.

With such a background, Amentor could be said to have performed beyond expectations and it is no wonder that a social media user, Osikani Belebele GH, who shared the boy's photo and results slip on Facebook wanted his post to go viral.

According to Osikani, there was no reason for Amentor not to go viral and thus asked Facebook users to share the post until it got the attention of the MP for Asikuma Odoben Brakwa.
