The Smartest Family In Britain Today, Is This Nigerian Family from Edo! (pic)


Twelve year-old twins, Peter and Paula Imafidon, are black children from Waltham Forest in northeast London. Nicknamed “the Wonder Twins,” Peter and Paula are Great Britain’s highest achievers. At 9-years-old they made history as the youngest children in British history to attend high school.

The children became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge’s advanced mathematics exam after participating in the Excellence in Education program. They set world records when they passed the A/AS-level math papers. Peter Imafidon, who is also a 100m and 400m relay champ in London, has said that he would like to serve as Prime Minister one day and his sister Paula, a county champion in rugby, would like to teach math. Both students are musicians.

The twins joined the ranks of their gifted siblings, Anne-Marie Imafidon, who was the pioneering child among the young genii. Now 26 years old, Anne-Marie spoke six languages and graduated from high school at age 10. In 2003, when she was only 13, she was granted a British scholarship to study Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. And at 17, Anne-Marie obtained her Masters Degree from Oxford University.

Anne-Marie was the youngest person to pass the A-level computing exam. Just last year she was called a “serial world record breaker” in the September 2011 edition of “Higher Education Digest.” Anne-Marie has mentioned that she believes in mentoring children to help them succeed. She is involved in the S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) program to help fulfill the need for math and science female leaders. She is currently working in a high-level position at an international investment bank in the United Kingdom.

At 11 years old, Christina Imafidon (now 22) was the youngest student in history to attend a British university – the United Kingdom University. Christina is now working as an intern with the Citigroup Corporation as well as conducting research on mathematics with Oxford University.

Fifteen year-old Samantha Imafidon had passed two high school-level mathematics and statistics exams at age 6. She became the youngest girl in the UK to attend secondary school at the age of 9. Samantha was the sibling who mentored the twins to pass their own math secondary school test when they were also 6 years old. She is a gold level champion in the 100m and 200m relays.

Dr. Chris Imafidon and Ann Imafidon, their parents, raised the children with a guided discipline. The father emigrated from Edo State, Nigeria to London over 30 years ago. He is currently working as a renowned scholar and international education consultant to several governments. He also serves as a mentor and coach to American students at varios academic levels using Skype and web technology.

His family has been used as a model to improve scholarship in Europe and Asia. He strongly believes that anyone can achieve what he has achieved with his family through a specific model for education. In his own family, if one child had a reading assignment, there was a communal effort. “If you really want a child to learn anything, find out the best way that child learns,” says Imafidon. “Every human being has a unique way of learning.”

I am not arguing that fact, They are leading because they have a better system of education and leaders that knows What they are doing.

What I am insinuating is that we can do great stuff if we were been thought like the white folks, and have sane leaders.

Before you start arguing this don't forget that non of the Nigeria universities made it into the top 1000 university in the world.

Unbelievable..... 10yrs old in uni? lol is that even logical? Abi na 3 months per grade uk dey do now? Even if d child starts at 1. Speechless...

Very cool. So Edo fit produce these kind people?

Change has really come

You have a lot of point bro. I just believe those people are some thousand light yrs ahead of us, like we ain't reading the same book nt 2 talk of being on the same page.

That's good to hear

just imagine they were brought up here in Nigeria, the twins for still dey battle with JAMB...

i LOVE this EDO represent "oba Gha To Kpe Re"

now this is real achievement

Edo people are supernatural. We too good.
We once built the greatest city in Africa.
We made some of the best artworks on the planet.
When our mates across Africa were still walking around naked, we were building the world's largest earthworks-actually we created a mountain to protect our city.

The most developed places in Nigeria were named by us. Eko is a Benin word. Eti-osa(VI, Lekki, Ikoyi) is a Benin word.

Now we are taking over to UK with our brains.

We supernatural.

Gifted children. The Lord be with you.

Your post is an oxymoron if i ever seen one. Of course they are superior to us. They are superior because they value life so they try to make their citizens lives easy. You say they are not superior and then you say if they were in Nigeria these kids would never have achieved what they did. Lol... That is an oxymoron

great edo pple,representing anytime anyday and anywere.

Edo no dey carry last

wow

Nice one.
