So if Alex Onyia didn’t decide to take these kids to Rome, you mean the world would not have seen us win gold?
Some other country would have won and we would have thought they were the brightest on earth?
Bad Governance is hiding the greatness of Nigerians.
I’ve said on previous tweets that Nigerians are the brightest and smartness people on earth. No enabling environment to showcase that brilliance.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
@TemitopeSobulo Got my student copy in less than 5 minuites from AFIT even before certificate and statement of result was ready I’m sure official copy won’t take up to a week
A kid tells his parents he is skipping university to play a video game professionally. Every reasonable adult in the room panics.
And sometimes the kid is right, because he saw a market forming before the people advising him did. The safest-looking path is safe precisely because everyone agrees on it, which is also why it is crowded and rarely where the outsized returns hide.
This is not a case for dropping out. It is a reminder that 'sensible' and 'optimal' part ways more often than we admit, especially when a brand-new field is being born.
There is a false tribal narrative being circulated claiming that we dropped a Yoruba child to replace him with an Igbo child for the International STEM Olympiad in Rome.
That claim is completely false.
This is the full live stream of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale, where the winners emerged. Our selection process was conducted publicly because we believe transparency is the best way to protect integrity.
We deliberately stream our competitions live so everyone can see how winners are determined. Our goal is simple: ensure that the right children win based on merit, not ethnicity, religion, connections or influence.
We are building a generation that believes hard work is rewarded. Merit is not negotiable.

Nigeria's children deserve better than tribal propaganda. They deserve fairness.
Hackers leave infected USB drives in parking lots.
It's called USB baiting.
The attack works like this:
A threat actor drops 5 or 10 USB drives in a parking lot, lobby, or bathroom near a target company. sometimes labeled "Layoff List" or "Top Secret" sometimes no label at all. just a drive on the ground.
Someone picks it up. takes it inside. plugs it in.
The drive auto-runs. installs a keylogger, backdoor, or ransomware loader. The attacker is now inside the network.
How well does it work?
IBM ran a test. dropped 200 USBs across various locations. 98% were picked up. of those, 45% were plugged in within minutes.
Almost half within minutes.
The most famous real-world example: Stuxnet, the malware that physically destroyed Iran's nuclear centrifuges. It got inside an air-gapped facility via a USB drive dropped in a parking lot.
Never plug in a USB you didn't buy yourself. ever. regardless of where you found it. regardless of what it says on the label.
If you found one hand it to IT don't plug it in just to see what's on it.
Curiosity is the attack vector.
