Impressive for his age but he is using one of two common formulas used to do this either Zeller rule formula or Key value date formula which he must have been taught by his dad or mum..but for his age it's impressive, very impressive that he has memorized the formula

Do you really know what a savant is??

A savant is actually a person who is severely mentally impaired which is balanced by an extremely high ability in one specific area.

Please don't say what you don't know

Watched him on TVC early this year, he doesn't use any formula, he just knows the answer. His condition is rare just like those that can tell u the result of a fraction or multiplication to as much as 19 decimal places without calculator

Nine-year old Siju Olawepo has calendar dates in his brain

Here is the gripping story on the extraordinary nine year old primary school pupil in Lagos. Siju Olawepo is a calendar prodigy. He can actually tell you the particular day of the week you were born, say, as far as the sixteenth century. Give him sixtieth century dates and he will supply you with the particular days. He can accomplish this task even much faster than an internet search engine. Ola Awakan is adding this to the list of exceptional children he has brought to the limelight in less than two years.

Same here .

Do you know me ??

Are you staying with me ?

Why conclude that I don't read ?
Because you see me on nairaland probably in the morning and evening you conclude that I must not be reading ?

Who said I don't visit educational thread ?
Have you been to the education section ? . Empty nothing to Learn from !

Because you see my posts in one or two places doesn't mean I sleep on nairaland.

Whatever you did when you were my age is your problem .

Please where have I commented on a choice of d*ck ? .

That comment you saw on preference of rich guys was pun intended .

I haven't type this long In a post apart from my diary . So this should show you the 0.001% attention I gave to your frequent mentioning of my moniker .


Dont mind him. If you don't read your books, how come you read and write very well.

"Savant syndrome is a rare, but extraordinary, condition in which persons with serious mental disabilities, including autistic disorder, have some ‘island of genius’ which stands in marked, incongruous contrast to overall handicap. As many as one in 10 persons with autistic disorder have such remarkable abilities in varying degrees, although savant syndrome occurs in other developmental disabilities or in other types of central nervous system injury or disease as well."

Thanks for this. I appreciate knowledge and I'm not too proud to admit when I am wrong.

I was expecting the usual nairaland comeback with insults but shocked at your mature response. Respect

Siju the Genius boy that can tell any day of the calendar

Zither:


I was reading to see if anyone would use this word. None but you. That boy is a savant in the flesh...a Nigerian for that matter. This is beautiful

The dude saying the boy used a formula to recognize dates using either zeller rule or key value date....you are so DEAD WRONG. Google the savant "Kim Peek" aka the Rain Man and tell me he used zeller formula to memorise dates, books, phone numbers etcetera.... Kim and this 9-year old boy, Siju Olawepo, are just two among many savants. However, savants are a rare phenomenon.

On CNN, I saw a program that featured a savant who could draw an entire landscape of buildings, trees, streets, everything after taking a look at it without the aid of a picture of that landscape and he would miss nothing in the drawing. In fact, savants are blessed.
I swear he’s Savant, Simple as dat
The guy who typed “he memorized a formula bla bla bla” vexed me with his right up, He thought its that easy #smh
