Meet Esther Okade, a 13-year-old college genius who is set to earn her PhD by 2018 (Photo)

 As young as she is, you won't believe that brilliant Esther Okade is about earning her PHD.

Esther Okade made headlines in 2015 after a CNN report revealed that the British-Nigerian youngster was one of U.K’s youngest college freshmen, after she enrolled at the Open University, a UK-based distance learning college, in January 2015 at the age of 10 and was on top of her class. See here

Twitter account, @BlackToLive, which celebrates anything concerning black excellence, shared a photo of Esther, with a caption; “Meet Esther Okade, a 12-year-old college genius who is set to earn her PhD by 2018”.

However, Tolu Ogunlesi – Head of Digital Communication for the Nigerian President, says he doesn’t see anything worth celebrating about this, asking what a 13-year-old would be doing with a PhD.
