When he was preparing for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Ekene Franklin Ezeunala said his target was to make a score of 370 out of a possible 400.

The SS3 pupil of Meiran Community Secondary School, Meiran, Lagos, made 347 – and he is still happy with himself.

“I tried to make a good score while preparing for the examination.

“The score I was targeting was 370. I still feel happy that I still achieved a good result,” said the public school pupil.

Ekene, who will turn 15 in 13 days (May 27), said he was shocked to be announced the candidate with the highest score in the examination.

“When I first heard I was the highest, I was a bit shocked. But I became glad and happy.”

The teenager said regular participation in competitions on behalf of Lagos State helped his preparations.

“The competitions impacted positively on my preparation. Some of the subjects I did I had done them in preparing for the competitions and met the same thing in the exams,” he said.

Thats great.

ndigbo are naturally ambitious..

thumbs up man!


if we were in a sane clime, you would have been offered multiple scholarships.

Let's hear word. Nothing special about what you did son. Na person write book wen you cram take pass. All theories, no problem solved with your "big mark".


We keep hailing these kids as they cram and regurgitate answers that offer no practical solution to today's realities.

Again, go and sit down!





P. S

Congratulations son. Just like the average Nigerian parents, I know your parents will be "thrilled"

sorry about that

Son, if you want proof, I could show you, I had close to 300 in my time. And that was almost a decade ago. Highest scoring post ume candidate, and best graduating student in our graduating class.


As you grow older, you'll realize why these results are often a waste of valuable time.

Always knew you were smartypants.


I can smell them from a mile away. Always.

Thumbs up kiddo. Greater heights await you.

Make the most of your time in school, that is what I tell my kid brothers every time but don't ever "carry school on your head".


They make kids read their brains out for nothing. IMO

You really sound so bittered. When has it become a crime to grant an interview and answer questions. How did he not allow you hear word? ....and you think it is every one that crams? Or you think it is only through cramming one can pass? Or did you see the questions and observe that the questions did not cut across all the levels of cognitive domain? I am trying to understand you because you really sound maad. Are you sure you are not on drugs or something?

If you feel there is something wrong with the assessment process, communicate it to the examiners. Should the little boy deliberately fail his exam or what? Or he should not be commended for doing a good job?? You really sound pained.

It is not the little boy's fault that school didn't pass through you.

czarina:

You don't have to believe me.

Why did you play the proof card when you knew you had no proof to show. There is something really wrong with your thought process. It seems your fingers type faster than your brain. I knew you were an empty vessel the moment you talked about proof and I was not disappointed when I scrolled and saw there was no proof anywhere when it was requested.

With the sort of foolishness and 1 digit IQ you have displayed here , you must have been a one eyed man in the midst of blind people in a mushroom school. I dare you to mention the institution and department .
From your profile, I can see that you have completely switched to giving massages since your education was a waste. I feel your frustration. You should have transferred your aggression to the half baked lecturers and the useless school that turned you into a cramming robot rather than hating on an innocent teenager.

Why does he look like that

Igbo amaka!

I completely understand. Being bookish has its advantages though. You see the world clearly. You are able to quickly snap out of the illusion.

My instincts are never wrong on such matters.
A person with a "1 digit IQ" will not be able to type on Nairaland. I know it's something you saw somewhere and decided to use without actually understanding it.

I don't back down from an e-fight. And I never lose. But na morning be this. So go rest.

Well, she tried to even be able to type then . I am sure you understand my point very well.
Good morning.

No body "crams'' in the real sense of the word and remembers as much of the " crammed " work as can earn him/her such high score!

The boy is simply smart! Give it to him!

What were you expecting to hear from the last year's boy Of course he should be in his school studying. Or were you expecting him to have built a castle in the air by now
