A promising Nigerian student from Imo state, Fortune Ibe is fast becoming a popular figure because of his amazing height.

At 15, the Mass Communication student of Convenant University stands at 6 feet 9.5 inches and still growing. He is believed to be the tallest 15-year-old in Nigeria.

He reportedly stated that he grows an average of 5 inches every year and added that he would love to play for the NBA (National Basketball Association).

He says his height makes people assume he’s way older than he actually is.

“Everywhere I go, people don’t believe my age at all, I always cause unnecessary attention.

“Am proud of my height, We are all extremely tall in my family. My mom is 6 foot 1 inches, my dad is 6 foot 5 inches,” he said.

His eldest brother who is 21 years old is reportedly 7 feet tall, the second son who is 19 years old stands at 6 feet 5 inches, and the last son who is 11 years old is already as tall as 5 feet 9 inches.
