“This morning I had a lengthy video call with Chukwuemeka (The 7-year-old maths genius) and his Dad. He is truly a genius oooo. He answered all the complex maths questions I asked in seconds.
"Chukwuemeka was not enrolled in any school because he couldn't speak early. The school the parents tried enrolling him into rejected him because he couldn't speak yet. He started speaking at 4 years 2 months.
"The Dad took it upon himself to teach his son everything he needs to know and surprisingly he started discovering his unique abilities. Meanwhile, the dad is not a teacher but had to learn to teach his son.
"My organisation will be supporting him fully and will ensure that he reaches his full potential. He will be enrolling in a school from September, 2024.”

“Alex, I am game on this oh. I promised to pay this boys school fees. Na me go pay the first one before una take over at least. Talking about his father, I think we can work something out for him as well. Ka anyi kwa na DM.”
@ose_okpamen reacted:
“If there's a way to enroll him in a higher class it's better. Don't let Nigeria slow him down. There are 12 year olds with master's degrees abroad. A genius should be allowed to fly not caged.”
@ronaldnzimora reacted:
“If you need any help, donations, etc, please ask. I am here to support. Blessings.”
@chymaker reacted:
“Some of us are willing to support as much as we can. Just ask and we will see how much we can support and also reach out to others.”
@mcihajji commented:
“Children's development is remarkable. They develop differently. Parents should not panick when they notice their children are not yet talking. It's not spiritual attack.”
