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.
But he was born in a wrong country, Nigeria doesn't value this kind of people, I wish he was born in a saner clime like america or other developed countries that values savant.

truly, it is a shame. Nigeria is a climate that discourages the development of unique beings like savants.

Nine-year-old Siju Olawepo Siju, like a soothsayer, once given a date, can tell the corresponding day of the week. In addition to knowing the dates, he also doesn’t forget any date he knows. He can tell anybody the particular day of the week he/she was born. Within seconds, he told the Daily Trust reporter her birthday while he also said Nigeria will be 100 years on Friday, October 1, 2060. He was also quick to say it would be a leap year. 

When asked how he came about knowing days with their corresponding dates, he response was, “I just know it. My instinct tells me dates with the corresponding days. It comes naturally to me, I cannot explain how.” Daily Trust gathered from Siju’s computer teacher, Mr. David Ugiomoh, that what the boy enjoys doing most is designing calendars.
 



Let us introduce him to the Real world out there biko......

This is nothing but a God-given talent.

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

I very much doubt it. It seems innate. There's another Nigerian with this capability on this forum. Herlertah, were you thought?

If at your age you don't have a first class degree, then you are just a jealous sadist.

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.
