Today I celebrate a Nigerian Citizen, a rising star who is just 15 years old, Miss Faith Odunsi, a pupil of The Ambassadors Schools, Ota, Ogun State, who recently won the Global Open Mathematics Tournament, an international competition with participants from Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Australia.

She won the competition with a margin of 30 points. Can you imagine this?

Most people think Mathematics is a difficult subject, I do not think so because Mathematics is my best subject since Primary School. I received a Tea Cup as a prize for been the best Student in Mathematics in Primary School in 1982. My late Father was very happy. In 1988 when I wrote the first 6-years Secondary School WAEC, I brought the question paper home and asked my elder brother, Muhammad, to mark. He marked it and told me I failed 2 questions out of 50 questions. I cried, why did I failed 2 questions? The only subject that I was better that my brilliant elder brother who is a genius was Mathematics. He scored A2 in the WAEC of 1986 and I scored A1 in the WAEC of 1988. Both at Government College Kaduna (GCK).

Let us return to this Mathematics genius Miss Faith Odunsi who is better than me. The fact that she is schooling in Nigeria makes her historic victory pleasing. I never believe that because we are Blacks then we are inferior to any race. Faith Odunsi just proved this assertion.

Inference:

Nigeria has brilliant, creative and intelligent people like China, India and Iran. Our major problem in Nigeria is the extremely bad leadership. This is our 'natural disasters'. We do not experience earthquakes but we have leaders like #Buhari that are worst than earthquakes. We have leaders that are extremely wicked and extremely corrupt, two dangerous combinations.

Congratulations �� to Miss Faith Odunsi for becoming a world champion in Mathematics. You conquered the world and made Nigeria proud. Thank you!

World champion?
Did they check others ability before crowning her that?
Well maybe because she's a kid

Intelligence is not a trait inherently peculiar to a specific race lol @Elbinawi

Politics is basically the reason why Blacks generally aren’t amongst the richest in the world
One study online found that just 1% of VENTURE-BACKED start ups were BLACK OWNED

Congrats to her
Only a matter of time before she gets scholarship and works in a developed country.
The regular brain drain
