The happy student who spoke said they do not recognise their competitors as schools but as cubicles.

The student who seemed overjoyed by her school's victory said they brought intelligent students to compete on behalf of the school, so there was no way they would not win.

"Words cannot explain it, but seeing my Kofi Nita there, Aaron and Kofi Fianko there, I knew they could do it because we were not meeting schools. Actually, we were meeting cubicles so we knew we had won. We just came to prove to you that, indeed, we have won."

Reactions to the video

Several social media users have been commenting on the video. Some believe the student was overjoyed while others say they will wait for her reaction when they lose in the national competition. Below are some comments.
