A 10-year-old Nigerian boy has won the grand prize in Toyota's Dream Car Contest, beating 782,852 other contestants from 90 countries to take home $5,000 and his school's $10,000 prize.
Oluwademilademuboni created a waste converter designed to assist African villages in food production and guarantee a clean environment to win the contest, which is open to kids ages 10 to 18, the Guardian reports.
The contest was open to kids from all over the world, and the Guardian notes that while Nigerian leaders are still confused on what age a child should be admitted into the tertiary institutions many of the country's youngsters are busy charting away global awards and prizes for innovative and academic excellence.
Another Nigerian student, 17-year-old Oluwafemi Ositade, has taken the world by surprise by his achievement.
Ositade secured full scholarships to multiple Ivy League universities in the United States, including Harvard, as well as other top-notch universities in Canada and Qatar.
A member of The Ambassadors College, Ota, in Ogun State won scholarships worth over $3.5 million from his exceptional performance on the SAT, where he achieved a perfect score in Mathematics (800 ? /800) and a near-perfect score of 760 out of 800 in reading and writing
