I am don with my O-level and want to gain admission into FUTO to study physics and become a Theoretical Physicist.how do i prepare and become a notable physicist like Einstein,Newton and Richard Feynman.

Read relevant books like your life depends on it.

Make sure you find your away outside the country

watch the Big Bang Theory and life of Sheldon

I watched big bang theory season 1-9 sheldon is just an obnoxious jerk. So what has dat got to do with me becoming great at my field

Brother, if you have your way go and do your studies abroad where true Physics is done. But if you must do your B.Sc here in Nigeria make sure you do all the required Mathematics courses ranging from calculus, algebra, analysis and so on, then coming to Physics, classical, thermodynamics/statistical, electromagnetism, relativistic and quantum mechanics you should hold them to your heart, then there are what they called quantum many-body systems and quantum field theory etc which you hardly heard of in Nigeria. And if you can make your way to UI, Uniben or UNN they do little theoretical there but those old guys may retire before you get in, that's worst scenario. In reality, there is no active theoretical Physics in Nigeria presently. I am telling your from experience as someone with MSc in condensed matter theory. I have been to Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy for summer schools and I can tell you confidently that we are far behind in Physics here in Nigeria.
