Nigeria quadruplets score World first, bagging Masters degrees from same university, same day


For a Nigerian family, it is the finest hour and an amazing moment of history and proud achievement.
‘The quadruplets were cynosure of all eyes recently when they simultaneously graduated from Warwick University in Coventry, United Kingdom,  bagging Masters degree in their respective courses of choice.
It was certainly a big celebration for members of the family who had visited Coventry to celebrate their graduation in the company of friends and admirers
The quadruplets were handed their well-deserved degree certificates from the same university on the same day.
They are all 23-year-old , identical, healthy and retain the greatest love ever existed despite their identical feature and same age parade.

Similar featured sisters Tokunboh and Temi were the oldest by four minutes on their birthday, while identical brothers, Tobi and Tolu,were all smiles as family celebrated with them graduating from Warwick University with Master Degrees each.
The lucky lads and their pretty sisters were all in the same bond of love and unity as they radiate smiles, ambition, confidence and great hope, still nursing the ambition of more laurel in education.
Tokunboh graduated with Masters Degree in manufacturing and engineering and Temi, Tobi and Tolu all gained an each  MSC  in management from Warwick Business School.
‘The fact we all chose to study at the University of Warwick was a natural decision,’ says Tobi, who thinks a bit of sibling rivalry is essential for success.
‘We are a close-knit family and were all attracted by the strength of the courses on offer.
‘We all gravitated to similar courses because we’ve always been interested in business and management and our father is a successful businessman in Nigeria.’
Chief (Mrs) Yemisi Agunbiade-Sanusi who is a personal friend of the family said the quadruplets should be celebrated by Nigerian government as a pride of Africa.
“The Quads are our shinning stars who have brought glory to the Black Race”, she said.
“Their wonderful story and brilliant achievement should be an inspiration to other Young People that in life , with determination and will power, the sky is the Limit in building a life career”
She advised the Nigerian government to recognise them for academic award as a positive inspiration for youth motivation and ambition.
She added:”Their unique story should be a source of great joy and pride to Nigerians and the Black Communities at large .
Chief Sanusi, a Charity worker and youth motivator of high note enjoined African women in the United Kingdom to dedicate more time for the future of their children as the quadrupulet’s story is an indication that Black parents can excellently train their children and are capable to successfully overcome all foreign land’s obstacle and challenges .
The quads, originally from Lagos, Nigeria, have been living in the UK since the age of seven when they began boarding schools.
Since leaving university the wonder kids have all landed top city jobs in the United Kingdom.
Tokunboh is due to start working for RBS in London later this year, Temi, who interned at Santander over the summer, has been offered a permanent position with the bank, and Tolu is due to start working for one of the ‘Big 4′ accountancy firms in the City.
Our parents are four times as proud of us,’ added Tobi, who is mulling over two offers from two major City firms.
‘They’ve supported us financially and have encouraged us all the way – without their help we wouldn’t be here today.
Their mother, Mrs Tokunbo Ogunsanya is a fabulous Nigerian socialite who was the daughter of late Chief Ajanaku ( Omo Danaija), a prominent business tycoon in Ilesa, Osun State

stGood for them, the question is? We Nigerians are so into all of our education and titles and all our Great acheivement that we forget our country needs to be fixed. Education and acheivements like this is great, but I am really sick and tired of hearing about people with this and that and 4 different PHD, blah blah university, 1st, 2nd and 10th degree from a very expensive and competitive university. People should glorify others who have worked hard in their community to make it a better place, not just people who gather tons of degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is from your article:

My response:
Is this how we spend all our time and money in a country where there's absolutely no light, no good drinking water and do you know waht the average salary is for people not like this quads parents but that lady along the road in Mushin is? How's her child eduacted? Can she actually afford to send the child to university? Why you have to use this quads story still baffles me! Do you know the reason why their story is the way it is? Do you know the reason why they have turned out the way they did? It is all about opportunities, they got it, the advantage they have, probably have rich parents, there are millions out there who do not have the same opportunity!!!! Please write more stories about peoople doing wonderful things in the community and less about people with a million degrees who know are not bothered about the state of their country and how to move it forward!!!
