@heismric Hi, Building Hizo, for cross-border payments across Africa. Send money from Nigeria to Ghana, Kenya, SA and 20+ other countries without the usual wahala.

If you’re a founder building something cool, say Hi. I’ll follow back, let’s be mutuals. I’ll like to keep up with what y’all are building.

True.

Unfortunate greetings to you @OgbeniDipo This message is not in anyway intent to educate you, you've descended below the capacity to retain any form of intelligence - it is intended to ridicule you. Absolute wonderkids went to represent the country you claim to love more than us, they excelled wonderfully only for you to dogwhistle your fellow ewedu crooners to a space in order to ridicule them on the grounds of their ethnicity. You and your fellow guttersnipes love to exist in the delusion that you're the most educated tribe - as someone who has twice whatever the height of your academic peak is, no modicum of education shines through you - just bubbles of intellectual fraud & disgusting bìgötry (I added the ami ohun to satisfy your insatiable need for cultural preservation. For years, you hawked CV reviews like your life depended on it - when it stopped putting food on your table, you began to ridicule education to promote the akaranification & kukulization of the economy just because of your new job designation as Dean of Studies, Apoda Twitter. It hurts me personally you know, that a good number of trees have to stay alive just to satisfy the oxygen need for people like you. People like you who play destructive roles in the society, who deserve to be melted into asphalt to fill potholes. People like you are cancerous because your presumed academic journey & perceived exposure allows your to command a certain level audience when the strength of your intelligence can be measured in kilobytes. Whatever Alex has done that you and your insiduous ilk suppose to imitate, celebrate, collaborate or encourage - you're tearing down at the expense of children who have done nothing to you. Just because the covering duvet doesn't have pockets, motorcycles don't have conductors & we cannot put airconditioning units in tricycles - every single effort you commit to will convert to vain. If the owners of the morning agree to initiate your progress, the custodians of the night will stage a protest. We cannot be championing a campaign against olodo uprising only for our first major academic win as a country to surface weeks after - only for proglottides like yourselves to shit on it, just because it satisfies your bìgötry KPIs. It will not be well with you.

We captured this beautiful moment of Chimdiebube Onwubiko arriving in Enugu yesterday to a hero's welcome. He won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome. I love seeing education reclaim its rightful place in our society. This is just the beginning of something great.

Congratulations 🎉

The Ministry of Education has now contacted the National Mathematical Centre to request that it submit all national Olympiad competitions it organizes. They want to start sponsoring all of them to the international finals now. They have started contacting schools already. This was abandoned in 2019. I hope they don’t politicize it. Our children need to shine on global stages.

If tribalism is not banned in Nigeria and made a serious crime as is it in Rwanda, Nigeria can never move forward as a Nation. A divided nation cannot progress!

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat. The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible. N8.83 trillion is as follows: 1.About 2% of our GDP. 2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025. 3.It is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion). If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident. This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration. We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure. This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration. A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

He deserves nothing but the best.

The 3 wise men from the East.

Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, decided to participate again today in the International STEM Olympiad finale, science category, unprepared. Listen to his experience. We are rooting for him to win double gold.

True.

Every developed nation first became an education superpower before becoming an economic superpower. Education is not another sector. Education is the operating system of a nation. Everything else runs on it.

The competition is tomorrow, and the boys are ready.

The coding competition has started for the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome, Italy. It’s beautiful to see bright minds challenge themselves. Next year we will have our children compete in the coding competition as well.

When I got to Rome this morning, I was presented with this beautiful certificate. The Romans are happy that we came to compete. The world will celebrate our superstars.
