Met this street kid in Uyo, along Ekom iman. Loved the way he played football and so our "bromance" started. One day I asked if he wanted to go to school. He told me no sponsor. I got him registered at Bishop Usanga school. We joined second term, result came out 30th of 31st
This is how to incentivize excellence. Make the heroโs glow in the sun. Let everyone see what matters. What a nation respects and honors is what its citizens mostly becomes.
Many thanks, Alex
Rolling out the red carpet for those who excel in education is a very powerful statement. The psychological booster is incredible.
Finally, education is getting all the props it deserves. This was how Evergreen Schools & his family welcomed the STEM champion, Chimdiebube Onwubiko & his teacher.
IโM SO EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW. Congratulations to everyone involved!
WELL DONE! ๐๐ซถ๐
@winexviv@DoraAd10 For a safe future, we should celebrate academic achievement as standard practice. A wealthy nation is one that is well educated. This time, I think we are doing it correctly.
Alex, good job, you have done well.
We captured this beautiful moment as Egejurum Onyedikachi and Don-Anele Munachimso arrived at Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, yesterday to a true hero's welcome.
These are not football stars. They are not musicians. They are not politicians.
They are children.
Children who became the world's best in Mathematics in the Primary and Senior categories. Don-Anele Munachimso is also the world's best in Science.
The last literary figures from the South East to receive this kind of heroic public welcome were Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Watching our brightest young minds being celebrated like national heroes gives me hope.
For too long, we have celebrated almost everything except academic excellence.
That is beginning to change.
Education is reclaiming its rightful place in our society, and a generation of children is growing up believing that knowledge, hard work and excellence deserve standing ovations too.
This is bigger than two children.
This is the beginning of a movement.
Chisom Unachukwu and Anthony Iwegbu, the teachers who helped their students conquer the world at the STEM Mathematics Olympiad in Rome.
Let's retweet to celebrate them! ๐
