Alex Onyia @winexviv has single-handedly built a transformative system called Math Olympiad, one that is deliberately reshaping and re-engineering the younger generation of the Southeast into beacons of academic excellence. His groundbreaking work is the primary reason the Southeast now stands tall as the undisputed No. 1 in Nigeria’s education rankings. But despite all this success, Alex Onyia is rarely seen with Southeastern governors or the President. You hardly see them shaking hands with him or taking photos together for social media. How often has he been invited for high-profile photo ops and social media validation by the very leaders who claim to prioritize education? Meanwhile, initiatives like Tunde Chess in the Slums continue to attract far more public attention and applause than a system that is consistently producing long-term generational success through rigorous academic re-engineering. It is strange to use poor and vulnerable people for self empowerment projects while still eating and dining with the same system that made them vulnerable. That kind of behavior is pure sycophancy and intellectual dishonesty.

Okay. #firstnigerianchallenge Let’s have it.
