Twin Sisters Share NSMQ Dream as Nyakrom SHS Qualifies
A substitute contestant helped her school qualify for Ghana's national science competition while her twin sister cheered from the audience. The moment captured the heart of regional qualifiers as Nyakrom SHS earned only their second-ever championship spot.
When Bridgitta Agyabeng stepped onto the stage as a substitute for Nyakrom Senior High Technical School, her twin sister Bridget watched from the audience, living every moment alongside her.
The scene unfolded during the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz regional qualifiers in Ghana's Central Region. Nyakrom SHS was battling for a coveted spot at the national championship, a prize the school had achieved only once before in its history.
Bridgitta joined the team mid-contest to help push for victory. From her seat, Bridget followed every question and answer as if she were competing herself, cheering proudly as her sister carried the school's hopes forward.
The competition between Nyakrom SHS and Jukwa Senior High Technical School stayed tight throughout. Nyakrom gained an early lead after the opening round, but Jukwa remained close enough to keep the outcome uncertain until the final stages.
Bridgitta's contribution as a substitute helped maintain Nyakrom's momentum. The team secured the qualification ticket, sending the school back to the national stage to compete against Ghana's best-performing schools.

For the twin sisters, the contest represented another shared chapter in a journey they've traveled together since childhood. Though only one competed, both experienced the pressure, the excitement, and ultimately the triumph.
Sunny's Take
The bond between Bridget and Bridgitta reminds us that achievement rarely happens alone. Behind every competitor stands a network of supporters who share the burden of nerves and the joy of success.
The twins turned an academic competition into something deeper: a testament to sibling love and mutual encouragement. While one answered questions under bright lights, the other provided the invisible support that makes victory possible.
Their story shows how family ties can transform individual accomplishments into collective celebrations. The NSMQ stage became a place where one sister's achievement belonged to both.
Nyakrom SHS now prepares for the national championship with a team that understands the power of support, thanks in part to two sisters who showed everyone watching what it means to truly be in something together.
