Saratu’s arithmetic prowess recently went viral on social media platforms, with her ability to quickly provide mathematical solutions attracting the admiration of many.

Saratu Garba, an 11-year-old out-of-school girl has been offered a scholarship by the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE), a World Bank-supported project.

Saratu’s arithmetic prowess recently went viral on social media platforms, with her ability to quickly provide mathematical solutions attracting the admiration of many.

On Wednesday in Kano, Aliyu Yusuf, AGILE Project Communication Officer, said that the project’s National Office had directed its Kano office to identify the girl and enroll her in school.

“Coincidentally, the Kano AGILE Project team is on an advocacy visit to the five emirate councils in the state, with a view to soliciting for their support, being critical stakeholders in the promotion of adolescent girls’ education.

“During the team’s visit to Gaya Emirate Council, the girl and her parents were invited to the emir’s palace.

“Representatives of the state ministry of education and the AGILE team briefed the Emir, Alhaji Ali Ibrahim-Abdulkadir, on the intention of the project to shoulder the educational responsibilities of the young girl,” he said.

According to him, the representative of the ministry, Haruna Muhammad-Panidau, presented school uniform, a bag and other learning materials to the young talented girl.

Mr Yusuf said that the Kano Project Coordinator, Ado Tafida-Zango, also presented N20,000 to the girl to support her education.

Saratu told a NAN Correspondent, who visited her hometown, Gwadahi village in Gaya, that she dropped out of school in Primary Four after which she embraced street hawking.

“I am good at mathematics, whether addition, subtraction, division or multiplication. I can calculate numbers in millions of heads, without writing or using a calculator.

“I left school because of bullying. My peers used to call me names which I detested.

“I will not go back to that school. I’ll be happy to continue my studies in another school, away from them,” she said.

When will they marry her out because that's what the Northerns are good at. They hardly add anything reasonable to the economy other than their large number and high libido that produces irresponsible children.
This maths genius should be cross examined because nothing good comes from the North other than Almajiri's.
Maybe her score was based on the quota system......God may we not be deceived.....

It's better they take tha girl out of that place so that she might continue her education before they hijack her and marry her to a Fulani man.

Unfortunately a tree does not make a forest, otherwise the north will be contributing more VAT to the federation account and not have children scoring 02 to get into south-funded Unity schools while children from the south need well over 120. Not so

MyopicMods:
The Federal Ministry of Education pegs cut-off marks for admission into the 104 unity schools nationwide at 134 on average for the five South-East states, while states in the North have cut-offs of 20 marks and even below.

This cut-off is out of a total 300 marks.

SaharaReporters obtained the cut-off lists as released by the Ministry for the 2020/2021 academic year, showing the huge disparity between the cut-off marks which candidates from South-East and South-West states should have and what the candidates from North should obtain.

According to the breakdown, Anambra has the highest cut-off of “139 marks for both males and females; Imo 138; Enugu 134, Lagos 133; Delta 131, Ogun 131, Abia 130 and Edo.”

Osun and Oyo also are among the 10 top with the highest cut-off marks with both of them having 127 marks.

SaharaReporters observed that the least 10 cut-off marks for Unity Schools are all northern states; Gombe 58; Nasarawa 58; Borno 45; Jigawa 44, Bauchi 35; Kebbi has 9 for males and 20 for females.

Also, Sokoto has 9 for males and 13 for females; Zamfara has 4 marks for males and 2 for females.

Taraba and Yobe are the least states with Taraba having 3 for males and 11 for females while Yobe has 2 for males and 27 for females.

The cut-off marks were reportedly released by the National Examination Council.

“Some pupils are admitted into Unity schools with as low as two marks in the common entrance examinations while some can only get into the same schools with at least 130 marks. Slowly mediocrity has crept in.

“While a candidate from Anambra State has to struggle for 139, a candidate from Zamfara is looking for just 4 marks. Yes, it is true that the quota system is meant to give educationally disadvantaged regions of the country an opportunity to access quality education, but that gap is ridiculous.

“Merit should also be a strong consideration,” an education expert, who did not want his name in print, explained.

She deserves it

Congrats youngie


More height

Want to get ahead.?
Social Media is the way to go.

Hausa-Fulani will forever be greater than the other two satanic trides. Upon all the lies they crafted against us, we're still dominating, we're still making break-throughs, we're still conquering.

A gift from God... enjoy the ride girl

Interesting...

I hope she's safe wherever she is in the north.


@Seniorwriter

Wow, kuddos to this young and great mathematician. She deserves more than this. Maths no be beans.

The real slay queen

Wow. Good news

Well deserved little girlie.

You guys shouldn't put the innocent girl pix online.

By end of this week, all the old paedos up North would want to make her a 4th wife.

Its great to see the north developing the female sex Academically and not just marriagically and Reproductically. I hope she goes places

There're alot of smart people up north...na there wicked leaders no let them see road. If you here the English most of the educated northern ladies speak you go love

Imagine her learning c++ at this age or any OOP languages or better still Blockchain..

10 years later........

If you have a child with a keen interest in tech or good in maths pls let them pick a programming course at a very young age.. that child will appreciate you in future (if he/she has interes only)

Nice one girl

I will suggest they take her to her former school & tell her to point out those students that bullied her. Necessary punishment must be dished out to them.
Bullying is a disease.

Wow... All Glory to God and a very big congrats to her...

Imagine how many other children like her in the North who no one has noticed.

Some are almajiris, some are chasing cattles while some are given to early marriage.

A lot of potentials are being wasted in the North but each we tell our Northern brothers this, they think we're trying to insult them.

An out of school child today anywhere in Nigeria is a threat to all of us tomorrow...

May God this young genius more success...

Nice development

Nice

Great thanks World Bank

Great

hey, bigot. if it's in the south you lowlife have already raped her. Fcking hypocrites. You will be either dirty smelly Afonja christians who are skull miners and shit inside their bedroom, sacrifice their mum and rape their siblings for ritual. Or the child factory products, fcking thugs and lowlife terrorists. Either ways you're cursed I hereby cursed you in the name of almighty Allah May you never find peace in your life. May Allah destroy you slowly. I pray you never amount to anything good and be a shame to your family. Ameen.

Please the UN and UNICEF should get her outta that place before she becomes food for marauding bandits. Either she gets murdered as collateral case in the campaign for an Islamic North or she gets wedded off to a bandit commander, sealing the end of a promising career.
