A NIGERIAN student has broken a 30-year-old maths equation and achieved the highest grades at a university in Japan for 50 years.

Ufot Ekong, who studied at Tokai University in Tokyo, achieved a first class degree in electrical engineering and scored the best marks at the university since 1965, the Flotilla Magazine reported.

He began his success early at the university, solving a 30-year-old maths equation in his first semester.

Throughout his university career Mr Ekong has won six awards for academic excellence.

The brilliant mathematician worked two jobs alongside his studies to pay his way as a student.

Mr Ekong also speaks English, French, Japanese and Yoruba and won a Japanese language award for foreigners. He is currently working for Nissan and already has two patents for electronic car design to his name.

Tokai University is a prestigious private university based in the Japanese capital, which was founded in 1924. It is focused on the sciences and technology and roughly 60 per cent of all students are enrolled in these schools.

And to benefit from the proceeds of these patents, just send your bank details, copy of passport and 5000 dollars....



That aside, awesome achievements there!

What was the math equation.

Nigerian + Japanese uni = good results? :p

He applied a specific type of transform function to data collected about the Magnetosheath to determine underlying Instantaneous frequencies.

Basically it is trying to understand plasma waves in the magnetosphere.

Pretty cool application and props are indeed deserved, but not omgbbq make world math prez lul
 
Works two jobs to pay for his studies and still excels. In this country we have the opposite , lazy buggers that dont pay their fees, fail subjects and protest when universities block registrations for non payment.

Not only in this country...
It simply happens that most people who achieve big are often the less fortunate.
Maybe when not everything is paid up for you and you know you have nowhere and none to turn to, you get 100 times the other people's motivation?
 
Hope he does really well, and earns a good income ....

Then he can sort out that gap in his teeth. Its that other equation ..... goodlooking rich guy = plenty chics

Who cares? Let's say this story motivates 10 Nigerian children to apply themselves in school because this dude suddenly looks like a role model to those kids. That would be worth the irritation of having to read the story, wouldn't it?
 
Wow! Congratulations on solving the equation. Wishing him all the success he deserves. :)
