Geniuses are born every day in Nigeria, but the unstable environment has made it hard for a lot of bright heads to shine. However this Nigerian kid who resides in the UK has being able to harness his skill to make his family and nation proud.
8 year old Tudor Mendel-Idowu and his sister 11 year old Hazelle Mendel-Idowu (pictured above) were the only Nigerians to take part in the Child Genius of the Year 2014 contest in the UK. The competition consists of 20 highly gifted youngsters between 7-12 who face two grueling rounds: Logic and Reasoning and Memory Recall – where they have just one hourto commit 104 randomly shuffled playing cards to memory.
Hazel Mendel-Idowu was out of the competition in the second round but Tudor Mendel-Idowu scaled through to the final stage on Sunday August 10th and made it up to 2nd position.
