Immediately after PRESEC Legon’s triumph over Achimota School and Opoku Ware in the 2023 National Science and Maths Quiz, an intriguing narrative was shared by the mother of one of the contestants.
Mrs. Mortey, the proud parent of Mortey, revealed that Selinam, through this triumph, had fulfilled a prophecy. Mrs Mortey explained that Selinam’s older brother, Selassie Mortey, had represented Presec in 2019 and came agonizingly close to clinching the trophy, falling short to Augusco by a mere 5 points.
It was during this time that Selinam, still in junior high school, drew inspiration from his brother’s experience and prophesied that he would one day attend Presec and emerge victorious in the prestigious competition.
Blogger Sika Offical shared this intriguing revelation in the form of a video on her Twitter page alongside this caption:
