- Faruq Gbolahan Yusuf from Ogbomoso town in Oyo state could not go to school despite having 50% scholarship from a US university


- The young genius had eight distinctions in his WAEC and was the best graduating student in his secondary school


- Yusuf is also good in software development and photography, making him a fully talented individual


Faruq Gbolahan Yusuf, from Ogbomoso town in Oyo state, could not fulfill his higher education dream despite having 50% scholarship to do so.

Born in Lagos on April 5, 2003, Yusuf has always been an academic genius. Graduating as the overall best student in his secondary school was a testament to that.

He had the best grades in eight subjects among which were further mathematics, general mathematics, English language and biology.


Yusuf also had eight distinctions in his school leaving examination and an aggregate score of 321 in 2019 UTME.


The young man’s enthusiasm for knowledge stirred his desire to self-teach himself some computer programming languages like Java, Phython, CSS among others with the internet as his resource place.


He also could develop apps using Arduino open source creation board, a tool where he was able to create a programme that allows users control televisions with their voice.


Yusuf is TOFEL certified with good examination grades. He got 50% scholarship to the University of Kansas in the US but could not take it because of lack of fund.


He is a trained photographer and has a dedicated page on Instagram where he showcases his works.

Or do they want us to contribute and send him out?

Talents and geniuses always wasting away in Nigeria. Terrible!!

All these skills and he couldn't raise the rest 50%?

He's not interested in studying yet

Sad experience

And he sat for TOFEL, he can actually use his skills to raise funds for the scholarship.

For him to sit for TOFEL, means his parents has some change with them(i.e he is privileged), some people sef to write waec or neco na war, some work for sometimes to gather money for their higher education and so on.
Some trained themselves through higher institution.

OP you are just publicizing him simple, next topic please

These guys above me though

In a sane country, the brilliant chap would have gotten all the neccesary assistance to ply his brilliance at the very top flight.

And for the silly comments above, the lot of you are probably frustrated empty headed dudes struggling to graduate with a pass even, what nonsense!

You can also excel in a local university. No one can stop your shine, except you.
