A Twitter user, @_Larenzo, has revealed how he came top in his class in Canada despite graduating with a third class from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
@Larenzo, a Civil and Chemical Engineer who goes by the name Ray Reddington on the microblogging platform, made the comment in a reply to a post by Nebula/@Vaness_ah on Twitter.
Nebula had written: “The opportunities we will never have because we’re born Nigerian.”
Reacting @_Larenzo, shared how his lecturers in Canada helped him to know he was a genius and smarter.
He wrote,
“In OAU I graduated with a 3rd class. In Canada, my lecturers urged me to take an IQ test after they saw my methods in solving shit. Turns out I’m a genius. By my test results, I’m smarter than 99% of the world and yes I topped my class. Who would have known.”

His post garnered a lot of reactions from social media users. See some of the reactions below;
Reacting, one Twitter user @OfficialSamkayz agreed with @_Larenzo. He noted that the same thing he would write in class and earn a poor grade, he would do the same for his sister who schools in the UK and it would earn her an exceptional grade.
He wrote;
“You are so right. I graduated with 2:2 and I sometimes help my sister who studied in the UK with her Assignment. When she submitted the Assignment, she got exceptional grade and I said “This is the thing I wrote for my Lecturer then and he manages to give me 23/70 in exam.”
He added,
“I remember one of my lecturer told us that he always feel for us in Computer Science that we are taking 9 courses(project inclusive) in 400L. He said when he was in final year in Scotland, he Only have 2 courses to deal with per semester. How can I take 2 courses & not have A”
Another Twitter user, @_neekohl said that lecturers don’t take it lightly when a student is too intelligent.
He wrote;
“There is something known as being too intelligent for Nigerian lecturers. I learnt to vomit what they tell me while keeping my additional information to myself.”
Don't give up because of a little challenges, many successful man today had also faced with some unwanted situations but just because they were not given it up then so, today they are later make it.
Ignoring the words of those who telling you that you can never make it in your life and try to move on with a little bit of an additional efforts and success will run after you.
