A secondary school teacher in Nigeria has shared a photo of the surprising letter she received from one of her students The student, in his letter, professed his undying love for her and begged her to give him a chance to prove his love The young boy went ahead to beg the teacher to overlook his age and focus more on reciprocating his love.

In his words:

This might sound strange to you but I mean every word. From the first time I saw you in school, it was as if my brain cell stopped working.

“Each time I see you it will be as if smoke is coming out from my eyes. Your beauty is killing me seriously. Although I am still in secondary school, I have plans of becoming a rich man. “I know you will say I am a small boy but let me tell you when you are in love age does not matter. I am becoming very useless all because I keep thinking of you.

“Each time I close my eyes I see your picture. Please consider my request and make me useful for once.”
