On their support system, the young men said:
"It's not really sunk in yet. We've always had people in our corner, our mum and the school, supporting and pushing us to do it."
Emmanuel revealed that he had wanted to go to Cambridge like his brother until an event at Oxford University African Caribbean Society.
There won't be rivalry
The duo revealed that despite going to the two different institutions, there would never be any unhealthy competition between them.
In reaction, their mother, Victoria Genfi who is 58-years-old said she really cannot describe how very proud she is of them.
On parenting them, she said:
“We’ve come a long way.”
A Nigerian teen succeeded
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a 17-year-old Nigerian teenager, Victory Yinka-Banjo, who had nine A's in WAEC in 2020 was in the news again for even greater things.
It was gathered that Victory was offered full scholarships by Ivy League schools; Yale College, Princeton University, Harvard, and Brown College in both the US and Canada to the tune of more than $5 million (N1,902,500,000).
While speaking with the media, the teenager said the whole development came as very surprising to her, adding that she never thought any school would even offer her admission.
