- 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 he thought was the brightest back in school can’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

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

The secondary school leaver advised people out there, who are also bright academically, that being the brightest is not a guarantee that they’d finish school first.
He added that one needs the grace of God and the support of family to run his race.
“…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.
