Netizens’ Reactions
Gloria Joky Scott U: “Some parents who do not believe that maturity is a major factor in education will end up regretting it. Allow the child to grow, don’t rush. If you want to be in competition with people, don’t involve innocent children.”
SOBECHI UGWUANYI: “Age is a serious criterion for admitting students into the university. This boy is too small; his parents should first allow him to learn some skills before going to university. University is for adults, not kids, unless he isn’t really as young as he looks.”
Chustenlase: “The boy is still very young. I don’t think he’s even 15 years old.”
Racheal Yohanna: “He was really ready for the matriculation since he got a gown in his size.”
Goodness: “He looks smart. Just give him time.”
Solomon Uwem: “Please, how old is he?”
Chinaza Nnadi: “Who gave him a matriculation gown?”
Ijeoma Nwosu: “This one really needs to go back to nursery school.”
Banitos Online Store: “There must be a mistake somewhere.”
The debate continues as more people weigh in on the surprising image.
