Background of Ningwei Leonard Lanyeli's story

Ningwie Leonard Lanyeli, a former National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) contestant, was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 2 while pursuing his degree at KNUST.

The 33-year-old graduated from St. Xavier Seminary Senior High School and Ganaa Memorial Junior High School with an overall grade point average of 8.

"I had an aggregate 8 in both my junior high and secondary education. I sometimes get disappointed because I have done it all, and nothing came out," Leonard told JoyNews.
