Joseph Okechukwu and Agbo Adoga have emerged winners of the 2023 Cowbellpedia competition for senior and junior categories respectively.
Okechukwu and Adoga, both students of Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, emerged champions of the culminated grand finale of the 2023 mathematical television quiz show.
Speaking about his way to success, Okechukwu said, “Everybody in my class took a test, out of 20 of us, only five of us qualified and were selected for the competition. After that, we had classes and lessons.
“The hardest thing was the final, because at first, I was one of the last, but later, due to the zone of power and the questions from the Cowbellpedia Bank, I was able to get the first position.”
