Ufot Ekong, the remarkable scholar that got me thinking in the early hours of Sunday morning. I had stared so much in amazement at the newspaper page that contained his achievements. He gave Bells Secondary School something to boast of.
The head boy of the 2006/2007 set who gained admission into Tokai University in Tokyo, Japan. He solved a thirty(30) year old problem involving mathematics in his first semester, he was the 'first black' student to achieve a first class degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering since the University's inception in 1942, he won the award of the best graduating student (President's prestigious award) in Engineering, won six awards inside and outside the school and the most remarkable of all, he built a car in his name.
Who says you can not achieve great things? Look them in the face and tell them "I Will show you!". Although, after that you should go into your room, lock your door to avoid disturbance, kneel and pray really hard because great achievements will not be in your name if you do not involve God.
Many may attach his achievements to his wealthy background but people like Olusola Samuel Owonikoko who is twenty seven(27) years of age and someone many if not most will consider to be successful has proven to us that determination, hard work and God turn impossibilities to possibilities.
