Their 500-level saw them drawing with 3.94 CGPA each.

Speaking to Legit.ng, Mathia said he and his brother share a lot of similarities in terms of physical traits.

He said:

"School as twins was like every other thing as twins. I was really used to it. We were really used to it, so it wasn't a big deal. We had some people who would mix us up, I mean, making several mistakes in terms of our names and documents, and even within the class."

On his part, Mathew expressed a similar view about people mixing them up in school.

He told Legit.ng:

"Being twins was honestly a mix of fun and frustration. One of the most common (and annoying) parts was people constantly confusing us for each other—especially since we both had a lot of responsibilities. Among our friends, it became a regular thing. While it was sometimes funny and even enjoyable, it could also get pretty confusing and, frankly, a bit exhausting."
