16-year-old Ernest-Eze Munachi from Loyola Jesuit, Abuja has indeed left an indelible print of excellence in the sands of time as he emerged the overall winner in the senior category of the competition.

His meteoric rise to fame didn’t come as a surprise because he had won the Cowbellpedia Mathematics Competition for junior category in 2015.

Munachi displayed an exceptional sense of acuity, brilliance and self-confidence; winning the final competition with a total of 110 points.

He has done what no student has done since the inception of the competition by winning in both the Junior category (2015) and Senior category (2017). He now has the bragging right as the Mathematics champion in the whole of Nigeria for 2017.

As the winner of the competition, he went home with a cash prize of one million Naira (N1,000,000), educational trip abroad, five desktop computers + printer + textbooks (for his school) and four hundred thousand Naira (N400,000) for his Mathematics teacher.
