The last time Nigeria participated in the International Maths Olympiad (IMO) was in 2019.

The government's reason then was that it was not important enough.

The actual funding required is less than the cost of a brand new Hilux.

This is the most prestigious academic competition in the world, and our children have been deprived of participation for years.

Education has been pushed to the back seat for a long time, while illiteracy has been elevated.

This needs to stop now!

@winexviv Education has not just taken the back seat, the quality of education we receive in this part of the world is nothing to write about.
We have a lot of literate olodos out there; People that can read and write but can't reason aright

I used the occasion to share the prototype of the Ede-Ile Heritage Trail that the Ọyọ Empire Archaeology and Heritage Project plans to unveil in 2026. This trail is based on many years of excavations in Ede ancestral town, Ede-Ile.

The Society of Africanist Archaeologists and affiliated organizations have launched a fundraising campaign to support early-career, Africa-based archaeologists for radiocarbon dating purposes. I am appealing to you to support this initiative. https://t.co/S7pABBQkB9

@ChuksEricE Corn is the forbidden fruit. Once you eat corn, your life will never remain the same.

@AdewuyiOmotola3 @SavvyRinu We don't even know the reason they made those policies then and now, it's just a tradition.
We need to revise some useless policies. This is one of them.
Serving the country should be voluntarily.

@SavvyRinu @grok
why was NYSC created? Is it fulfilling its purpose? On the scale of 10 rate how effective it is.

[Babalola Jacobs @BabalolJacobs]

@SavvyRinu I am of the opinion that NYSC should be scrapped. You created NYSC to foster unity 50 years ago and till now, there is no clear impact. Who exactly is deceiving us??? Who charmed us????

@Bin_ismail_ @dammiedammie35 Are you a Christian? Even if you are a Christian, you can only speak for your denomination.

There is no law in Christianity on when to bury. I have seen where people are buried same day.

@omogelistic @dammiedammie35 Ọmọ!

This is a whole lot crazy!

[Babalola Jacobs @BabalolJacobs]

Omo!

This is really painful.

TRAGIC DEATH : SOMTOCHUKWU CHRISTELLE MADUAGWU
December 26, 1995 - September 29, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that the management and staff of the ARISE News Channel announce the passing of our beloved colleague, News Anchor, Reporter and Producer, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu. Sommie tragically passed away in the early hours of Monday, September 29, 2025 following an armed robbery incident in her residence in Katampe area of Abuja that is being investigated by the Nigeria Police.

Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE News family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.

Beyond the airwaves, Sommie was a lawyer who was a professional and supportive colleague and a friend to many.

We extend our deepest condolences to Sommie’s parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. Sommie’s voice is now silent but her spirit, passion and legacy will endure as part of our collective memory. We remain in shock and call for a speedy investigation, apprehension and prosecution of the culprits.

HAY @ MCC: Guarding against a future where the knowledge and value of cultural heritage is obsolete. Without imparting knowledge and value in future generations, the conservation of cultural heritage risks losing its significance over time. #publicarchaeology #culturalHeritage

[KumbuKonnectNetwork @KumbuKonnect]

Bringing archaeology, anthropology, and cultural heritage to the everyday life of a secondary school student! ✨ A visually engaging exercise book cover featuring local artifacts, cultural landmarks, and simple info is a substantial step in this direction #Archaeology #Nigeria
