ESTHER OKADE, 10 Year-old Nigerian Girl accepted in British university to Study Mathematics

A ten year-old Nigerian child has been accepted to start her maths degree at a British university.

Having enrolled just three weeks ago, the young girl is already at the top of her class following a 100 per cent score in a recent test.

From the early age of seven years, Esther Okade had always wanted to go to university.

“She would say, ‘mum, when am I starting?’, and go on and on and on ,” said her mother. After three years of persuasion, Esther finally got her mother to take her to university.

She began applying in August and a phone interview, an essay and a maths exam later she got accepted into the Open University in December to study for a maths degree.

Though she watches cartoons and plays with barbie dolls, Esther’s aim is to get First Class honours degree in two years and start a PhD programme. She also intends to run her own bank.

Update: earlier title suggested her name as ESTHER AKADE. Real Names are ESTHER OKADE.
