‘Good in electrical work but knows nothing in class’: Nigerian lady complains about brother
A Nigerian lady, @helendemzy, has taken to TikTok to share a video of her 8-year-old brother who is reportedly a genius in handy electrical work but “knows nothing in class”.
According to her, her little brother is very creative with electronic gadgets and would often generate current to power lights from tinkering around with electronics.

But she noted that despite his technical smarts, he is not bright in his academics. She said that this is an issue of concern and that their mother has changed schools almost four times to determine if the problem was from the schools. She sought opinions online on what to do.
