16 yr old British Nigerian Maths Genius Heads to Cambridge University.

Andrew Ejemai, from Brentwood School in Essex, will become one of the youngest of this year’s intake of students at Cambridge University after achieving ‘A*’ A-Level passes in Additional Further Maths, ‘A’ grades in the new Linear Chemistry and Economics and achieving Grade 1 in STEP II and III, the Cambridge University maths exam, in one academic year. The son of a Nigerian couple, Sunny and Ronke Ejemai is set to study Mathematics at one of the world’s most prestigious institutions, Cambridge University in September at just 16. The teenage genius made news back in 2013 when he became the youngest person in his school’s history to pass an A-Level exam when he gained an 'A*' in his Maths A-Level at the age of just 12. The course is highly competitive, attracting more than 1,400 applications this year. Speaking to The Voice about the fact that he will be attending one of the world’s prestigious universities two years ahead of his contemporaries, he said: “I’m most grateful to God Almighty for helping me to achieve this great feat. I believe that without hard work, perseverance, parental and school support this would not have been possible. 
Ejemai recalls that his potential was uncovered at the approximate age of four, when a teacher asked him to write a simple formula for a sum and he pencilled down a complex equation, instead. Ejemai's father Sonny insisted that black youths will only excel if they receive adequate support, primarily from their parents. The best mentor for children should be parents. I and my wife believe that every child has the potential to be a genius, but parents need to nurture their talent. Andrew’s mother, Ronke, would give him various challenges centred around school subjects and outside activities, and this started at the age of three," he told The Voice.“I saw that encouraging youths can be tough, but parents need to be focused and dedicated to the cause. It’s a marathon. But if they start early and have the G factor-the God factor it’s possible to provide a good foundation. It’s all about dreaming big and giving children the opportunity to try things.”He added:“My key advice is having plenty of parental involvement.”
