First, it was the news of two boys -twins- who had caught the eye of the BBC after their impressive performances in the A Level examinations, gaining them admission to the Ivy League Schools in the United Kingdom.

The twin brothers of Ghanaian descent, 18-year-old Emmanuel and Ebenezer Boakye, are headed for the Oxford and Cambridge Universities, the BBC reported, to study English Literature, and Spanish and Russian, respectively.
