Family of geniuses

Written by By Peter Ogbonna Eze

• Tale of 6 kids of same parents with exceptional intelligence
• After 3 siblings enrolled in varsity at 14, younger one ready at 12

A family of eight with six genius children has been discovered in Abuja.
The family hails from Ohafia Local Government area of Abia State. The family boasts of a record of successful admission of their children in universities at the maximum age of 14. Their true life story actually sounds like a fairy tale.

Parents of the kids and the last two, including Victor who completed his secondary education at 11 visited our office in Abuja to tell their extraordinary story.
Victor, aged 11 already holdsa primary school certificate, Junior and Senior WAEC certificates, Junior and Senior Word of Faith Bible Institute certificatesand another certificate from NABTEB.

Theparents of the children, Mr. Stanley Udensi and Mrs. Chinwe Udensi in their accounts told Abuja Metro that to them, the trend followed by their kids is divine favour and beyond their explanation. Or how else could they explain that their six children have continued to take same academic and intellectual path until Victor set a new record altogether.
To Mr. Udensi, his other attribution of such intelligence shown by his children is his wife's gene, whomheclaims was very intelligentin her school days. He also stated that his wifewas denied First Class grade in her university days.

But to Mrs. Udensi, a nurse, the reverse is the case. She said that despite the fact that her husband did not go far in his education, she is sure that apart from God, her children must have inherited the intelligence traits from her husband. She described her husband as a very brilliant and wise man whom even professors, and several other experts come to seek his advice. She said that because of the depth and quality of her husband's reasoning and thinking, she does not argue her husband's input and suggestion in her professional career.

Abuja Metro during an interaction to unravel how or what must have made these children, without exception, very outstanding, an enroll in schools far earlier than the statutory ages, especially the eleven year old boy, knowing that the education system of Nigeria is 6-3-3-4, their mum said she had genuine intention to find a way in training her children as fast as she can, with respect to the fact that they are many and at the same time in consideration of the financial implications involved. She equally said that her children do not attend crèche and she does not allow them to waste their time in nursery school.

She said: "I have six of them, and they are very intelligent. But you also know the financial attachments that go with giving all of them proper education. So, I do not like enrolling them in nursery school. Once they are born, I teach them and make sure they start learning from very tender age. When they reach up to a year and six months, I will put them in nursery one because at that age, they are already big and talking and they are even writing letters of alphabets because of the nurturing and teaching I have given them. And from nursery one they move into primary school without passing through the normal nursery two and three. I do that because I already have it in my plans My intention has been to follow that pattern, partly because they are many and if I should allow them pass the normal process, it might be quite difficult to handle. But God helps me because their intelligence helped to make it a success too.

Further speaking, she said: "The third child recently marked her 17th birthday and is in her 3rd year in the university. She also enrolled into the university at 14. Presently, she is on her Industrial Training (IT) at the NNPC."
Mrs. Udensi also denied influencing her children's performances and also taking any supplement or drugs during pregnancy that might lead to such intelligence quotient of her children.

"Ordinarily, I can't even explain how all these happen, because I don't even know any of theirteachers. They just bring their report that my child is now in a particular class. They would say that if the child has performed extraordinarily, they have no option but to promote them. For example Treasure, my last child is eight and she is in JSS 1. In her primary six at age of seven, she was already teaching primary five pupils and she was the head girl too. Most often, she comes home with gifts that her teacher gives to her for her performances.

She also said: 'Though I am a nurse, but it still has nothing to do with my career. I had all my children on getting to 40 weeks but its only Victor I delivered at 38 weeks. Each of them had a peculiar thing attached to their birth and I did not deliver any through surgery, despite some medical reports that requested the need for surgical operation.
To me, it's just divine favour because I did not do any extraordinary thing. I did not even take any antenatal drug. I don't like drugs and I fear drugs. I can only attribute it to beingplanted in the house of God, because my bibletells me that thosethat are planted in the house of God shall flourish like palm trees."

She continued: "My husband is also a very intelligent person, I fear him even though he is not that educated but his wisdom is the type that keeps attracting even professors and people of various professions to seek his counsel. And it works for them. I know I was a bright student in terms of taking lead in school then, but my husband is exceptional.

Eleven-year-old Victor's story among his sibling is spectacular because according to the father, he had shown strong sign of a genius from his early childhood. The first statement he also uttered about himself was that he is the CBN governor. He said that even in the national hospital where he was delivered, the medical still ask him about the CBN governor whom they had earlier been showering with gifts in his tender age and referring to him as a genius. He also said that in one occasion toward Victor'ssixth birthday, he had surprised one of his friends who was manager of a bank with the level ofresponses and questions from him.

"Right from the time he was a kid, when he was less than two years, a year and nine months precisely. He was popularly known as a CBN governor especially at the national hospital where he was born. The directors in the hospital still ask me after him today. This is because the first statement he made is that he is the CBN governor. One of the directors in the hospital brought some currencies and gave him, asking him to differentiate each note. And he was able to identify each of the notes irrespective of the type of currency shown to him. So they said he is a genius. And they would shower him with gifts including money, flowers and cakes then.

"Also at the age of 6, I took him along to visit a friend who was the General Manager of First Bank at Area 3. As a little boy, the manager engaged him in a conversation but was surprised at his responses. He was thrilled by the kind of questions Victor asked. And he asked him the course he read to have come to that stage. And to our astonishment, Victor said he read accountancy. So, the manager started interviewing him and eventually asked me to bring him some other time, but the boy refused, saying that he is the boss, the only general manager and CBN governor. And that he (the manager) should be the one to come and see him. And we just laughed it off."

On the secrets behind Victor's special success of being a holder of different certificates at eleven, three years earlier than his elder siblings who had similar training and guidance.
Victor's father noted that: "He started school at a year and four months and spent four years in primary school. Whenever he gets into a particular class, they will say he is too intelligent for the level. So, he consistently received promotions. When he was to enroll into secondary school, he did not start early with his mates due to some personal emergencies but at the end of the term, he still came first in the class. The principal then said that since he is a genius, and that he will give him a scholarship. In his JSS 2, he was asked to take junior WAEC and again, he came out in flying colours and that was how the school promoted him to SSI. In his SS2, he opted to contest for senior prefect but they said he was too young and therefore did not allow him to contest. Even when he was writing his senior WAEC, he also registered in other exams, though without our knowledge and or approval."

Victor himself narrated that not many people accepted him during his quests for the exams for reasons he still doesn't understand. He said they tried to keep him away most times. And in all the tests and exams, he normally takes the lead, citing it to be not only favour from God but also effect of his reading method. He also stated his inspirations and reasons for thinking to be a CBN governor at that early stage.
He said: "Actually when I was a child, I read a lot and when I was younger than two, some people would present some notes to me, and ask me what denominations they were and the names on it. And when I got it correctly, they began calling me the CBN governor. So, I understood it as what I was supposed to be.

"On my reading method, whatever I read sticks to my brain. I take note on my own from textbooks and teachers note and read from it. And In all the tests and exams, I always come first. During my JuniorWAEC, it was a surprise because my principal just insisted that I must take the exam on the premise that I was doing well. So, I agreed, wrote it and eventuallycame topin the results again," he said.
When Abuja Metro threw a question to him with respect to his secondary school syllabus, he answered them correctly with details. When asked if he is under pressure for growing too fast compared to his mates, he responded, "I am not because I feel it's a normal thing. I believe we have not reached the highest stage. We keep going higher everyday and there is no height that one will reach and say that he has actually grown."

The first child of the family, Alex is 20 years, and is presently studying electrical/electronics in United Kingdom. He got into the university at 14, just like his younger ones. He left the country with his immediate younger brother, Jerry, after spending three years in a Nigerian universityonreason that the university was below their expectation and that they weren'tgetting the practical aspect of their fields of study.

THE IGBO RANT

I am an Igbo, I was born an Igbo, I live the life of an Igbo, I come from Igbo, I speak Igbo, I like to be Igbo, I like to dress in Igbo, I eat Igbo food, my heritage, culture and tradition is Igbo, my parents are Igbo.

Am sorry I cannot help it if you hate my lineage. Am sorry I cannot help it if you detest Igbo, am sorry I cannot help it if you hate me because am Igbo. Igbo is who I am, my name is Igbo and I must die an Igbo.

You see Igbo as a threat, why? You call Igbo rapist, criminals, ritualist, prostitutes, kidnappers. You attribute all negative vices to represent Igbo? Why do you do that? You do because you feel threatened that Igbo might outrun the rest of the tribes. Why do you hate Igbo and despise us? You do that because we are creative, enlightened, hardworking, industrious, genius, intelligent, smart, rich, beautiful and amazing. But its difficult for you to admit it because you feel jealous of my race.

Igbo do not own politics, Igbo do not control the economy neither do we control the natural resources and the common wealth of the nation. You do, we don't and yet, despite the fact that you own everything, we still remain one indispensable race that has outshined the other race in all ramifications.

You fear us because you want to exterminate and annihilate our race, you deny us many things and yet we are stronger, richer and mightier. You fear us because we are everywhere. You fear us because no matter how rural a place might be, when Igbo steps in, they turn it into a Paradise. We have our own resources, which lies in resourcefulness, we do not bother you and your control over the polity, but yet when we cough you and the other race begin to shiver.

Am proud being an Igbo, am proud of my heritage and culture. Igbo means high class, Igbo means independence, Igbo means hard work and strength, Igbo means riches, Igbo means resourcefulness, Igbo means self belonging, Igbo means self esteem, Igbo means pride, Igbo means swag.

In response to Alaba Ajibola, the Babcock Lecturer Hate Speech against Igbos.

BIBLICAL TRADITIONS OF NDI IGBO BEFORE THE MISSIONARIES CAME TO AFRICA* IGBO 101.

1. NSÓ NWANYĮ
In Igboland women live apart from their husbands and neither cook for them nor enter their husband's quarters when they are in their period. They are seen as unclean. Even up till today such practice is still applicable in some parts of Igboland especially by the traditionalists. Before a woman can enter the palace of Obi of Onitsha, she will be asked if she is in her period, if yes, she will be asked to stay out.

Leviticus 15: 19-20
When a woman has her monthly period, she remains unclean, anyone who touches her or anything she has sat on becomes unclean.

2. ANA OBI
An Igbo man's ancestral heritage, called “Ana Obi” is not sellable, elders will not permit this. If this is somehow done due to the influence of the West the person is considered a fool and is ostracized by the community.

1 Kings 21:3
I inherited this vineyard from my ancestors, and the Lord forbid that I should sell it, said Naboth.

3. IKUCHI NWANYĮ
Igbos have practiced the taking of a late brother's wife into marriage after she had been widowed until the white men came. Now it is rarely done but except in very rural villages.

Deuteronomy 25:5
A widow of a dead man is not to be married outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her.

4. ĮGBA ODIBO
In Igboland, there is a unique form of apprenticeship in which either a male family member or a community member will spend six (6) years (usually in their teens to their adulthood) working for another family. And on the seventh year, the head of the host household, who is usually the older man who brought the apprentice into his household, will establish (Igbo: idu uno) the apprentice
by either setting up a business for him or giving money or tools by which to make a living.

Exodus 21:2
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay you anything.

5. IRI JI OFŲŲ
In Igboland , the yam is very important as it is their staple crop. There are celebrations such as the New yam festival (Igbo: Iri Ji) which are held for the harvesting of the yam. New Yam festival (Igbo: Iri ji) is celebrated annually to secure a good harvest of the staple crop. In the olden days it is an abomination for one to eat a new harvest before the festival. It's a tradition that you give the gods of the land first as a thanksgiving.

Deuteronomy 16:9
Count 7 weeks from the time that you begin to harvest the crops, and celebrate the harvest festival to honor the lord your God, by bringing him a freewill offering in proportion to the blessing he has given you. Celebrate in the Lord's presence together with your children, servants, foreigners. Be sure that you obey my command, said the Lord.

6. IBE UGWU
In Igboland it's a tradition that the male children are circumcised on the 8th day. This tradition is still practiced till date.

Leviticus 12:3
On the eighth day, the child shall be circumcised.

7. ÓMŲGWÓ
In Igboland, there is a practice known as "ile omugwo ". After a woman has given birth to a child, a very close and experienced relative of hers, in most cases her mother is required by tradition to come spend time with her and her husband. During which she is to do all the work of the wife, while the new mom's only assignment to the baby will be to breastfeed. This goes on for a month or more. In the Igbo old tradition, at this time, the new mom lives apart from her husband, would not cook or enter his quarters.

Leviticus 12:1-4
For seven days after a woman gives birth, she is ritually unclean as she is during her monthly period. It will be 33 days until she is ritually clean from the loss of blood; she is not to touch anything that is holy.

THE IGBO TRIBE AND ITS FEAR OF EXTINCTION

The Igbo tribe is in a serious problem and danger of extinction for the following reasons:

50% of Igbos are born outside Igbo land. Meaning that those children are not likely to live and work in Igbo land and cannot speak Igbo language but foreign language (Yoruba, Hausa, French, English).

40% of Igbos girls between the age of 25 & 45 are single with no hope of marriage because 35% of Igbo boys live overseas and they have all married white ladies.

75% of Igbo youths leave Igbo land every year in search of opportunities in Yoruba, Hausa land or overseas.

85 % of Igbos have family houses and own investments outside Igbo land. They strongly believe in one Nigeria but failed to know that NO Yoruba or Hausa man has a family house or investment in Igbo land.

Igbos are the only people who believe that living outside their land is an achievement.

Igbos are the only tribe that celebrate their tradition outside their land e.g. Eze Ndi Igbo, Igbo Village in America and this is because they have family homes in foreign lands.

Igbos have failed to know that the children you have outside Igbo land especially overseas will never think of living in Igbo land. So what happens to the properties you are building for them when you are gone?

Igbos are the only tribe who see their land as a place to visit or a tourist site than a place to work and live.

Igbos are the only tribe who instead of promoting and appreciating their culture through movies and documentaries they have sought to ridicule it by portraying rituals, killings, wickedness, love for money and other social vices which were not originally inherent in our culture thereby cursing more harm than actually promoting their culture.

Igbos are the only people who without hesitation believe their history and description when it is told or written by an enemy or a foreigner. E.g. that you do not love yourselves or that you love money.

Igbos are the ONLY largest tribe on earth who fought for their independence and failed to achieve their freedom after 40 years.

Igbos are the only tribe who fails to honour their brave heroes and heroines especially the innocent children starved to death during the Biafran war.

Igbos are the only tribe who embraced their enemy after a bloody civil war and subsequently become slaves.

Igbos do not find it necessary to teach their own version of history to their children.

Igbos fight for marginalisation in Nigeria but has no collective strength or teeth to bite.

Igbos how long are you going to fight for your relevance in Nigeria?

How long are you going to fight for a functional airport, rail networks and other structural establishments that underpin sustainable development?

How long are you prepared to wait for your enemy to guide you to your destiny?

Oh Igbos!
Where are your leaders?

Unfortunately, none of them live and work in Igbo land. If you wish to save the future of your children, your identity, your generation and your race then you need freedom and that freedom is Biafra.

The Igbo: We die for causes, not for personalities

Written by Emeka Maduewesi

~on fb. 28th September, 2016.


The Igbo will never die for anyone. We will not even riot for anyone. But the Igbo will die for any cause they believe in because the Igbo have a true sense of justice and a determination to obtain it.


The Igbo will not riot because one of their own lost an election. Operation Wetie was the Western response to a massively rigged 1965 election. The Yoruba doused fellow Yorubas in petrol and burnt them alife. Properties were burnt with occupants. The Igbo will never do this.


In 1983, the Yoruba went on a rampage again over the massive rigging by NPN. Lifes were lost and properties destroyed. The riots were over personalities.


Contrast that with Anambra State where Chief Emeka Ojukwu was rigged out by his own NPN, who also rigged out Chief Jim Nwobodo. The Igbo did not protest because the goat's head is still in the goat's bag.


In the North, ba muso was the battle cry when Sultan Dasuki was imposed on the Sokoto Caliphate. The riot and protest lasted for days and crippled economic activities.


The Igbo will riot over issues and causes. The Aba Women Riot was over Tax. The Enugu coal mine riot was about conditions of service. The Ekumeku Uprising was over British colonialization.


Those of "Ekumeku" ancestry - Umu Eze Chima and Umu Nri - were at the forefront of the struggles for Nigerian independence, with people like Dr. A A Nwafor Orizu and Chief Osita Agwuna serving prison terms. Any struggles the parents could not conclude is continued by the children by other means.


The Biafran war was a response to the genocide. The war in fact was brought upon us. The battlefield was Eastern Region. The war ended in 1970 but the issues and causes were not resolved. That is where we are today.


The Igbo will also jointly rise to fight evil in their midst. They did it in Onitsha in the 1980's, Owerri in the 90's, and with Bakkassi in the 2000.


The Igbo will not die for any man. But the Igbo will stand by any man who symbolizes their cause and their pursuit of justice. Even if the man dies, the struggle continues, and like the Ekumeku warriors, the children will pick up the baton from their parents.


This is the Igbo I know, the Igbo I am, and the Igbo we are. This is my story. Feel free to tell yours.

RT. HON. DR. NNAMDI AZIKIWE TO DR. CHUBA OKADIGBO (1981)

"My boy, may you live to your full potential, ascend to a dizzy height as is possible for anyone of your political description in your era to rise. May you be acknowledged world-wide as you rise as an eagle atop trees, float among the clouds, preside over the affairs of fellow men.... as leaders of all countries pour into Nigeria to breathe into her ear.

But then, Chuba, if it is not the tradition of our people that elders are roundly insulted by young men of the world, as you have unjustly done to me, may your reign come to an abrupt and shattering close. As you look ahead, Chuba, as you see the horizon, dedicating a great marble palace that is the envy of the world, toasted by the most powerful men in the land, may the great big hand snatch it away from you. Just as you look forward to hosting the world’s most powerful leader and shaking his hands, as you begin to smell the recognition and leadership of the Igbo people, may the crown fall off your head and your political head fall off your shoulders.

None of my words will come to pass, Chuba, until you have risen to the very height of your power and glory and health, but then you will be hounded and humiliated and disgraced out of office, your credibility and your name in tatters forever...”
THE REST IS HISTORY AS EVERY WORD OF THE CURSE ON CHUBA CAME TO PASS.

LET'S BE AS PASSIONATE AS WE WANT TO AND BE MODERATE IN OUR CONTRIBUTIONS IN PUBLIC DISCUSSION TO ISSUES AS WORDS OF OUR ELDERS ARE WORDS OF WISDOM
