| TWO persons have been arrested in Edo State for allegedly extorting money from persons currently seeking recruitment into the Nigeria Army. The two suspects identified as Power Innocent and Otene who came into Edo from Bayelsa State were alleged to have been collecting N50,000 from the applicants with a promise of facilitating their recruitment into the Nigeria Army. They were nabbed at the Ekehuan Barracks where the applicants are currently undergoing physical and mental exercise. It was gathered that the suspects were lodged in a Hotel in Benin City from where they go to Ekehuan Barracks since the recruitment exercise began. The sum of N450,000 was allegedly found on them but the suspects denied extorting money from the applicants. They however admitted that they collected N30,000 from one of the applicants who came to them for help. Military personnel in charge of the training, Brigadier-General Ekanem warned the applicants not to give money with a view of joining the Nigeria Army. According to him, “You must not pay to join the Nigeria Army. You will be selected based on merit. We will test your physical fitness and your level of education”.

Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / GENIUSES!! 8-Year Old Nigerian (EDO) Twins Break Education Records in UK |

| Peter and Paula Imafidon, eight-year-old twins from Waltham Forest in northeast London, are a part of the highest-achieving clan in the history of Great Britain education. The two youngest siblings are about to make British history as the youngest students to ever enter high school. They astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge’s advanced mathematics exam. That’s on top of the fact they have set world records when they passed the A/AS-level math papers. Chris Imafidon, their father, said he’s not concerned about his youngest children’s ability to adapt to secondary school despite their tender age. “We’re delighted with the progress they have made,” he said. “Because they are twins they are always able to help and support each other.”To Peter and Paula’s parents, this is nothing new. Chris Imafidon said he and his wife have been through this before: They have other super-gifted, overachieving children. Peter and Paula’s sister, Anne-Marie, now 20, holds the world record as the youngest girl to pass the A-level computing when she was just 13. She is now studying at arguably the most renowned medical school in the United States, Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore. Another sister, Christina, 17, is the youngest student to ever get accepted and study at an undergraduate institution at any British university at 11. And Samantha, now age 12, had passed two rigorous high school-level mathematics and statistics exams at the age of six, something that her twin siblings, Peter and Paula, also did.
