She was joined in the semi-finals by Ifeanyi Anyoku of the Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The feat by the duo sent four of their colleagues out of the Quiz Show. These include Gospel Omosebi of Bibo Oluwa Academy, Ilesha, Osun State; Umar Muhammad of Nigerian Tulip International College, Damaturu, Yobe State; and Shekinah Odola of Evangel Group of Schools, Gombe, Gombe State.
