He mentors several geniuses across the world and has demonstrated this within his family, thus the appellation: Patriarch of “Britain’s brainiest” or “smartest family”. The academic achievements of his children are eloquent testimonies to this epithet. They are trully chips off the old block. His daughter, Anne-Marie Imafidon who speaks six languages became the youngest person to pass the UK A-level computing examnation at only 13 in 2003.

Samantha Imafidon, his third daughter, passed two high school-level Mathematics and Statistics examinations at age 6, and mentored her younger twin siblings, Peter and Paula (Wonder Twins), who at age 9 became the youngest children in British history to attend high school. Professor Imafidon and his family were invited to front row seats as guests at a special 90th birthday service held in Windsor castle for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in April 2016. Also, Professor Imafidon has had the privilege of being one of the leaders who have hosted His Eminence, Martin Schulz, the President of the European parliament.
