Imagine, a Doctorate degree holder at 17 and our own mumu government is telling our kids to wait until 18 before entering the higher institution.

Missed placed priority of a government.

When our so called legislators are still arguing to allow or not to allow a below 18yrs old to be in the university? undecided whereas many of them have already made so many pubescent girls or even younger ones s*xualy active...




Poor education in Nigeria is robbing off in all facets already, giving birth to poorly trained leaders...

Funny enough, some of them can marry underage girls as low as 13 years but would make laws that won't allow a child into University till 18 years.

When has our legislature ever raised such an issue i had 14 year olds as course mates in 100 level as far back....

You guys can go so far as to tell obvious lies just to destroy the image of the country.
Tomorrow some from one small African country that should be a local government in Nigeria will insult you and you will blame the Nigerian government but you are the one destroying the image with your lies.

If i check now na Igboman you go be

What a remarkable feat.


At the age of 17 in Nigeria, you are still in secondary school preparing for WAEC and NECO

No.... Our Federal Government said they cannot admit any student not up to 18yrs into universities.

grin it's not achievable in Nigeria. First is her age and secondly some of those lecturers will frustrate her so as to prevent her from achieving such feat.

Chelsea fans, hope you guys slept well wink

Did you read the part that said she was old-schooled....

It means she didnt attend your regular school.
It is also not possible in her country if she attended a normal school.

You Nigerians are so keen at destroying the image of your country that you dont mind throwing your brains away to do so

This is one of the benefits Nigeria will miss by setting age limit for university admission.There're some Children that are exceptional and prodigious of whom their achievements belie their ages.

Where has that ever happened.

People are actually leaving Nairaland for their mental health reading from stupid people like you is something that can actually destroy any intelligent person.....

We have 14 and 15 year olds in our universities.
When and where has the national assembly ever talked about 18years being the entery age for universities.
People are graduating at age 18.....

So my quetion is are you just being stupid?
Because the article clearly said she was home schooled meaning she didnt attend the for 4 walls of a school untill she went to college...

So again is your brain functioning?

If she's from Southern part of Nigeria who knows where would you be maybe you could have been a victim of early age prostitution or your parents used you as a debt collateral with one man old enough to be your grandfather
OgbeniOja1:
nice, if it where somewhere in the north them for don marry am out at age 12 to one old alahaji looking forward to relieving his heaven here on earth.
Or the Nigerian govt would have said she must be 18 to enter university.
Your God saved you young girl by not making you a Nigerian.
Re: Dorothy Jean Tillman: 17-Year-Old Girl Earns Doctorate Degree by Greatex90: 9:05am On May 16
High School= 4 yrs
Masters = 2yrs
Dr. Degree= 3yrs

9 - 17 years = 8 years.

That means she finished secondary School at 8 year. Stuuuupid

They must have skipped several classes for her to be able to achieve that feat. Whenever I see people like this, I always say that book knowledge and in-depth reasoning are not the same thing. Nobody should have a PhD if they aren't up to 25 and above. Congratulations to her!

The emboldened is just plain common sense and anyone with a brain should be aware of that.

However, can you pls walk me through your thought process on why "Nobody should have a PhD if they aren't up to 25 and above"?

Yep congratulations to her. She's a phenom!

If I could rewind time, I wouldn't opt for a doctorate at 17.
