Speaking on future endeavours, she says “I want to finish the course in two years. Then I’m going to do my PhD in financial maths when I’m 13. I want to have my own bank by the time I’m 15 because I like numbers and I like people and banking is a great way to help people”.
I’m sure you’re wondering how the parents feel about the rapid growth of their daughter, well Esther says ““I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my mum was like, “you’re too young, calm down.” However, after three years of begging, her mother, Efe, finally agreed to allow her.
