Boy Yet to Enter University Years After Finishing Secondary School as Brightest, Ex-Teacher's Message Leaks

• Years after the completion of his secondary school education, a Nigerian boy is yet to start his university studies
• Even the boy's former chemistry teacher was surprised and wondered why someone who was the brightest couldn't get into the university
• Sharing his story, the boy sent a message to all other brilliant students like him about the importance of God's grace and family support

A secondary school leaver, who was adjudged the brightest back in school, is still unable to enter the university years after graduation.

Facebook user, Chúrchíll Àrëpãdé Durude, reposted the boy's story alongside the touching message he got from his former chemistry teacher.

Churchill failed to reveal the boy's identity. In the message shared, the boy's former teacher expressed surprise that he still isn't in university despite being his favourite student by his intelligence.

The teacher, now a principal, further requested his loved ones' details so he could speak to them for him.

The secondary school leaver advised people who are also bright academically that being the most brilliant is not a guarantee that they'd finish school first.

He added that one needs God's grace and family's support to run the race of life.

"...So being the brightest student doesn't mean you will be the first to graduate from school, you need the grace of God and the support from your family to run this race.

"I pray for all those brightest student out there struggling for a helping hand to further their education may Almighty God send a helping hand to you through Christ our Lord Amen," Churchill's post read in part.
