Exponental:

I dont really like d idea.
All is not about being a genius. Dont rush a child. Let her lead steady than follow Rushly. It has its psychological implications.

Best of Luck shaaa
@ exponential.
l have a colleague who told me she finished primary school @ age 8.
@ age 8, l jus finished primary 2,
am not ashamed of it cus l can hold my own.
this colleague cannot write a good apology letter when she offended by boss,
She has a Bsc in Accountin and she is a chartered Accountant.
She said she was given double promotion while in sch.
Her grammar is ok, but below the standard of a professional and a degree holder.
so is the end that justifies the praise and popularity not the beginning.
l hope we will hear more of her with time

children are typically receptive to almost everything you teach them. they learn quick just make sure you have something to hold down their attention. hope she can manage the pressure cos children do not like pressure. wish her the best

she was a gift
I wouldn't doubt that but am sure the reporter exaggerated the girl's verbal articulation.

I DON'T THINK YOUR GRAMMAR IS THAT GOOD AS TO ENABLE YOU BE A JUDGE OVER SOMEONE'S.

They are always nice until the boys started coming !
May God help this girl wella wella
Very True. That happened to almost all the girls in my class then. They were top of the class from JS 1 to SS1. After that there was a changeover. Hope this does not happen to her.

Agbo2:

Youngichou:

Those doubting;Are you doubting because you think it is impossible or because she is Nigerian/African born and living in Nigeria. If you had been told that a European achieved such would you have doubted this much?

There have been instances of gifted children/prodigies but it is a very rare occurrence in Nigeria.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_child_prodigies

I am happy for this good news coming out of Nigeria.


Ordinarily, it is difficult to believe that at her age, she is already in JSS I, but that is the reality. During her primary education, particularly when she was between classes 2 and 4, she had double promotion. At that time she was at the Baptist Day School. That was between 2008 and 2009. That was where she also completed her education.

Please note: We Nigerians can learn a lot form her parents.They are devoted Muslims but they put her in a christian primary school. We should learn to throw religious and tribal sentiments away and make choices that will be most beneficial for the betterment of all.

This is one of the things I live about nigeria education system, they allow you to jump.

I did GCE before I got to my final year. I can handle a child and he or she would skip classes. It is easy. over here they dont. In nigeria, you allow the smart child to move ahead of his classmate.

that's a great achievement and egg in the faces of those who are not happy when their wives give birth to girls.
even if she becomes a lawyer, will she be allowed to practice being a muslim woman? please educate me

I hope the Hausas are reading this story u can master both the Quran and the English language without been a blood thirsty fundamentalist like the Boko Harams.

This is a clear case of mixing religion with mainstream education, another thumbs up to the Yorubas for leading the way

as far as she can cope, there's nothing wrong with that, it's commendable though

I believe in your words (above), but am disappointed that with the level of your spectacular achievement,

that you could call all and sundry "fool" for mare expressing their opinion.

I can see you are still this young, so "some rethink over your words before you write or say them out will make a difference in you in life.

A genius indeed. Given the right environment, this country can produce more of her likes. May the good Lord protect her from the many wolves around.

ahh brilliant but nigerian kids are mean, they'll torment her, this reminds me of one taiwo taiwo in js1 she was 9 and a geek, always asking for more assignments and reminding tutors of assignments due, i used to beat her lol God forgive me oh
Re: 7 Year Old Girl Admitted To Secondary School In Abeokuta by stormm: 10:22pm On Oct 26, 2010
Let's wait and see. Too good 2 be true. Got a 7-yr old girl and she's in pry 4 after being given a double promotion. Now there are 2 questions;

Who owns the pry school she attended, either of her parents or who?
What year did she start her pry school?

My kid started creche at 6 months and I know what obtains. In Abeokuta the writer said abi? I seriously have my doubts but if true then goodluck.

Unfortunately, the School for Special kids in Nigeria are meant for kids with disability but I don't think kids with exceptional intelligence have any provision made for them.

The Nigerian Government need to make provision occurrences like these. School for the average will only slow her down if not hinder her progress.

She may not be as intelligent as the article stated but she can still be helped.

But it requires funding.

Institute like the "International High IQ Society" will voluntarily accept her if she passes their test.

Hmmm. . .I'm happy for her and I wish her all the best in life.

I recall I had a classmate in Uni who came in @ 14yrs. I got to know cos we did our medicals together and I saw his forms. . . .very brilliant guy he was too. This guy had two double promotions in his education. .one in Primary school & one in Sec schl. Also, this dude never saw SS3 cos he came into Uni from SS2 grin

It sucks going to university early though- usually you might not have the maturity levels to do so.
