What Is Esther Okade Doing With PhD, A 13-Year-Old? - Tolu Ogunlesi (Photo) by chimebube(op): 12:23pm On May 02, 2017
President Buhari's media aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, who is also Head of Digital Communication for the Nigerian President, has slammed @Blacktolive, a Twitter handle which celebrates anything concerning black excellence, for celebrating Esther Okade, a 13-year-old British-Nigerian who is set to earn her PhD by 2018.

Esther Okade came to limelight in 2015, after a CNN report revealed that the British-Nigerian youngster was one of U.K's youngest college freshmen, after she enrolled at the Open University, a UK-based distance learning college, in January 2015 at the age of 10 and was on top of her class.

Tolu Ogunlesi who took to Twitter to disclose how he feels about Esther Okade's celebration on Black to Live, said that he sees nothing worth celebrating there, and further asked what a 13-year-old will be doing with a PhD.

The guy isn't politically correct.
I think Buhari is the cause.

Tolu Ogunlesi could have waited to see what the girl will do with the PhD before that moronic question and imagination.

So far Ogunlesi was preparing for a primary 6 living certificate at that age 13 isn't a reason to downplay what a 13year old will do with an earned PhD certificate.

Cant nigerians take thier bad belle and keep it to themselves?
This young girl has done something really incredible and almost impossible for her age mates to achieve. And she is even top if her class.
Help me ask tolu if by 10 years he was done with primary school.

I am so proud of the little girl.

By the way, as for the use of the phd, she can get hired at a very young age, make a ground breaking discovery and even win a nobel prize.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with having a phd young. Our african mentality is worrying us.

He who is dissapointed by his own life should not try to bring others down by cricticizing them.

Once again I am so proud and happy for the girl.

I understand where the dude is coming from!!

If the president of the most populous black nation on earth can attain to that position without a common secondary school leaving certificate, and still has a prof as his assistant, then what is there to celebrate about a girl bagging a phd at the age of thirteenhuh?



Who's the bastard that laid an eternal curse on this countryhuh

Who we offendhuh?

He is right sha.

Some people have extremely amazing memories, so they can handle anything that has to do with books very easily without stress at all. But working in real life(after school) is more than what you read in school books but more of real life stuffs like communication and advanced human relationship.

I also doubt if she is eligible for some kinda real big jobs before she's 18 or there about. I think there are laws in developed countries that govern labour ages.

The truth is that she is a minor. Not just a minor, but a really minor minor.

I just hope that she will be able to cope sha.
