No fewer than 20 Nigerians were honoured in the United Kingdom on Monday. The youths, who emerged as best students in their various schools across the UK, were honoured during a ceremony at the chambers of the British Upper House of Parliament, the House of Lords. The Europe Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria reports that among the recipients were twins, Paula and Peter Imafidon, who set a new world record in Mathematics and schools admission examination in the UK. Dubbed the 'Wonder Twins', the duo broke records when they passed A/AS-level mathematics papers at the age of seven in 2009. One of the recipients, Master Jordan Khiran, in an interview with NAN, expressed gratitude to his parents for helping him to do his work. "My parents always ensure that I do my homework before any other thing when I returned from school,'' Khiran, whose best subject is Mathematics, said. Nigeria's High Commissioner to the UK, Dr. Dalhatu Tafida, who spoke at the event, said that given the necessary enabling environment, any child could attain the optimum heights in life. Tafida said the feet of the students was worth emulating by others. He said, "If the House of Lords could allow its own chamber for this noble cause, then it is worth celebrating.'' Tafida added that the Mission would partner with the Excellence in Education Awards Organisations, the body responsible for the awards, to replicate similar programmes in Nigeria. Mr. Chris Imafidon, a board member of the EIE, said that there was a genius in every child, if given the right tools, techniques and technology in a nurturing environment.

yes ohh brother but see no one is ready it or comment on it i think nigerians like bad news
I wouldn't say Nigerians like bad news. It's just that so many bad things have been going out. And it always seems like the bad outweighs the good. The gravity of negative news in Nigeria today is just too much. But it's all good. This one is like a diamond in the rough.
