He achieved straight A's in his Cambridge exams, further solidifying his status as an exceptional student. The video was posted by @re_joice.

A Nigerian graduate, Uchenna Emelife, also shared with Legit.ng why he had a high academic standard:

"I have high standards because the steps have been laid already by my siblings. Like me, they topped their classes across academic levels. In 2019, my eldest sister, Stella Chinelo Amagbor (née Emelife) trended for breaking a 100+ year record in University of Mysore India with the highest CGPA obtained by a student for her Master's program. And that was 4 years after breaking a similar record as the overall best graduating student of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, 2015. My second sister, Jennifer Chinenye Emelife is a PHD student at the University of Toronto and was recently invited to speak at a conference in Harvard. My third sister, Emelife Emmanuella Chioma also finished as the best graduating student of the Biological sciences department before switching to a now thriving financial consulting career with KPMG."
