@instablog9ja If this was a serious country, this three boys will be given scholarships to study till university level by the state.

If it were BBN winners, you’ll see endorsement flying here and there. We prioritize rvbbish in this side of the world.

[PABLO OF UNN🦁 @chudy_jnr]

You see how these students won gold in Nigeria and then went on to win gold on the international stage? That’s what happens when talented children are identified and supported based on merit by people who genuinely believe in them.

If this had been handled by the Ministry of Education, some people would probably have found a way to rig the selection process and fill the team with the children of the privileged instead of the most deserving students.

As someone that has followed Alex and his initiative since July, 2025 I have a few things to say.

1. There's a mix up. Alex asked if he should start a Maths Olympiad in SE and he was supported. He obviously couldn't do it alone and setup a GoFundMe link which a lot of people contributed. He wanted the reward money to be big—5 million naira so it'll be more fun.

2. When he started, he said his focus will solely be for SE, even though some asked for Some parts of Rivers and Delta to join, but that period was the peak of tribalism so he declined.

3. He stated earlier that it's the winners of SE Maths Olympiad which he presides over that will represent Nigeria for STEM Olympiad in Rome.

4. When the winners emerged, he still wanted them to compete in other academic activities so they'll be used to competition, that is why the winners competed in the National Maths Olympiad which was organized of which one of the winners in SE, Onwubiko Ebube took second and the Yoruba boy took first.

If Nigeria wasn't delisted from Maths Olympiad in China, the Yoruba boy could have competed and represented Nigeria in that global space and he, Alex said that individuals can't fund it, it's solely government.

He went on with his plans for the SE Maths Olympiad winners, because he has been preparing them from Day 1.

He didn't drop any kid, Nigeria government failed that boy and a lot of others.

The funds in ISEE couldn't foot the STEM Olympiad in Rome and Alex solely funded this children's trip.

I'm just glad that he's getting enough publicity because next year will be bigger and better.

If you read to this point and you have a child in primary or secondary, please go to Alex page and get them ready for the Sterling Bank Maths Quiz.
They're giving out ₦500k biweekly to the winner. It's open to all Nigerian Students and first phase has come and gone.

Thank you.

NYSC Reform: A Big Idea Built on a Weak Foundation

A reform can sound beautiful in Abuja and still fail inside a crowded camp in Iyana Ipaja, Kubwa, Awgu, or Katsina. That is the first problem with the new NYSC reform approved by the Federal Executive Council. On paper, it sounds ambitious: six weeks of orientation, civilian operational leadership, specialised career streams, skills-based primary assignments, professional certification, a new uniform, and a graduation ceremony to replace the Passing Out Parade. But policy is not judged by the grammar of its announcement. Policy is judged by what happens when it meets water shortage, bad hostels, weak budgets, insecurity, and Nigerian reality.

Let us start with the six-week orientation camp. Extending camp from three weeks to six weeks may look like a serious investment in young people, but it becomes dangerous if the facilities remain the same. Many NYSC camps are already overstretched. In May 2026, corps members at the Lagos orientation camp complained of persistent water shortage, inadequate storage facilities, irregular electricity, and overcrowding. Some reportedly woke as early as 1 a.m. to queue for water. If three weeks already tests the health and patience of young graduates, six weeks without massive investment in hostels, toilets, water, clinics, ventilation, food, and security is not reform. It is punishment with a policy title.

No young person learns civic values properly while struggling to bathe, sleep, eat, and stay healthy. A hungry corper listening to financial literacy under poor conditions is not being empowered; he or she is merely enduring another Nigerian survival course. If government wants six weeks, then the budget must speak before the slogan speaks. More days in camp means more feeding, more medical care, more staff, more sanitation, more electricity, more security, and more monitoring. Without that, the reform will simply double the duration of discomfort and reduce the quality of welfare.

The second issue is the shift to civilian operational leadership. This is not automatically bad. NYSC was never supposed to be a military barracks. A civilian-led structure can make the scheme more developmental, more flexible, and more aligned with skills and employment. But Nigeria must be honest about one thing: weak civilian systems are easier to bend. The military presence in camp, for all its harshness, gives NYSC a certain immediate discipline. Everyone wakes up early. Everyone lines up. Everyone wears the same white shorts. The child of a politician and the child of a mechanic can both be corrected in the same parade ground.

If that authority is reduced without a strong replacement, camp may become another Nigerian space where connection defeats discipline. Wealthy corps members may lobby their way out of duties. Influential parents may pressure officials. Some may sleep outside camp while ordinary graduates remain under stricter rules. That is why civilian leadership must come with clear enforcement rules, independent monitoring, transparent sanctions, and public reporting. A civilian-led NYSC should not mean a weaker NYSC. It should mean a more accountable one.

There is also a human management question that government should not pretend away. Thousands of young adults living together for six weeks need firm safeguarding, not moral speeches. Even under the existing military-style camp structure, discipline issues still occur. Extending camp to six weeks increases the responsibility of the state to protect corps members from harassment, exploitation, abuse of authority, bribery, and unsafe private arrangements. This is not about policing people’s private lives. It is about making sure power is not abused inside camp. Civilian officials must therefore be trained, monitored, and held accountable. If not, the reform may create new spaces for compromise and misconduct.

The third problem is the illusion of the six-week crash course. Nigeria must stop pretending that a broken education-to-work pipeline can be repaired with short camp training. A graduate who spent four or five years in an underfunded tertiary system cannot become a strong tech professional, agribusiness operator, infrastructure specialist, or entrepreneur because of a few weeks of lectures. Real skills require time, tools, mentorship, practice, assessment, and industry exposure. Germany’s respected dual vocational system, for example, is built around training in both companies and vocational schools, with apprentices employed by companies and trained over two to three and a half years depending on the occupation. That is a system, not a seminar.

If the new NYSC skills streams are serious, they must go beyond PowerPoint slides and certificates. The training must be practical, assessed by real industry standards, and linked to actual employers or enterprise support. Otherwise, Nigeria will produce another certificate economy: more paper, less competence. We must also ask uncomfortable questions. Who designs the curriculum? Who selects the trainers? Who pays the certification bodies? What happens to corps members who fail the assessment? Will they be forced to repeat training? Will certificates become another backdoor business for vendors and politically connected firms?

The certification angle deserves special attention. “Globally recognised professional certification” sounds attractive, but in Nigeria it can quickly become a contract bazaar. If not properly regulated, private training firms may begin to chase NYSC contracts, camp officials may control access, and corps members may be pressured into paying hidden fees. The government must publish the certification partners, selection criteria, cost per corps member, procurement process, assessment method, and complaint channels. A reform that claims to fight unemployment must not become another marketplace for insiders.

The fourth issue is the claim that NYSC can help build a $1 trillion economy. There is nothing wrong with ambition. A country without ambition is already tired. But advanced economies are not built by forcing graduates into state-designed career streams for one year. They are built by fixing basic education, strengthening universities and polytechnics, providing stable electricity, reducing business costs, supporting manufacturing, expanding infrastructure, and allowing the private sector to create real jobs. NYSC can support national development, but it cannot replace economic fundamentals.

The global examples also require care. Singapore has mandatory National Service, but it is rooted mainly in defence and security; full-time National Service is treated as a national security institution. South Korea’s compulsory service is also tied to national defence obligations. Germany’s vocational strength comes from long-term company-school training, not a six-week camp experiment. Nigeria appears to be mixing national mobilisation, civic training, military discipline, civilian administration, professional certification, entrepreneurship, and job placement into one overloaded scheme. That may sound innovative, but it is also risky. When one policy tries to do everything, it often ends up doing little well.

The fifth problem is the PPA reality. Skills-based primary assignment sounds good, but where are the receiving institutions? Many corps members already struggle to secure meaningful places of primary assignment. Some schools, companies, and government offices reject corps members because they lack space, funding, supervision capacity, or willingness to pay local allowance. If an organisation cannot absorb a regular corps member, calling the person “Digital Corps” or “Medical Corps” will not magically create a desk, a supervisor, internet access, equipment, or salary support. The reform must therefore include a serious employer partnership framework. Without that, the new streams will become new labels on old frustration.

The sixth issue is the Passing Out Parade. Scrapping or redesigning POP may look minor, but symbols matter. The POP is one of the few rituals that gives corps members a shared sense of completion. It is not perfect, but it is memorable. Replacing it with a formal graduation ceremony may be useful if the ceremony genuinely reflects skills acquired, projects completed, and communities served. But if it becomes another long government speech day, corps members will simply lose one emotional part of service and gain another boring protocol event.

The biggest weakness in this reform is the apparent distance between policymakers and present-day corps members. Many people designing NYSC reform still carry memories of a different Nigeria: when the scheme was more prestigious, the economy was less punishing, and allowance had real value. Today’s corps member is serving in a country of high living costs, insecurity, weak infrastructure, digital frustration, and deep uncertainty. A policy designed for an imaginary Nigeria will collapse in the real one.

This does not mean the reform should be rejected completely. Some parts are sensible. A technology-driven call-up process can reduce manipulation. Risk-sensitive deployment is necessary in a country facing serious security challenges. Skills-based PPA can make service more meaningful. Civilian leadership can modernise the scheme if properly governed. Camp grading can improve standards if it is transparent and tied to funding. The problem is not the ambition. The problem is the missing foundation.

Before implementation, government should answer five questions clearly @DrJoeAbah @NGRPresident .

1. what is the actual additional budget for six-week orientation?
2. Which camps currently meet the minimum standard for six weeks of residence?
3. Who will train, certify, and monitor the specialised streams?
4. What safeguards will prevent corruption, favouritism, and exploitation inside camp?
5. Which employers and institutions have formally agreed to accept corps members under the new PPA model?

Nigeria does not need another reform that looks powerful at announcement and weak at implementation. NYSC is too important to be treated as a laboratory for half-built ideas. If government wants to turn the scheme into a serious national development platform, it must first fix the camp, protect the corps member, fund the programme, involve the private sector, and publish the implementation plan.

A six-week camp without water is not innovation.
A certificate without skill is not empowerment.
A civilian-led system without accountability is not modernisation.
And a $1 trillion economy will not be built by slogans.

It will be built by honest policy, disciplined execution, and respect for the young Nigerians who are always asked to sacrifice first.

One skill I will always recommend to anyone with a laptop and internet connection is Cyber Security.

Every company in the world, small or large, needs someone to protect their digital assets. Banks, hospitals, startups, government agencies, all of them are hiring cyber security experts and paying very well in dollars (Over $70,000 annually).

You do not need a degree to start. You need the right platforms, the right certifications and consistency.

How to get started:

1. Go to Google or apple playstore.
- Download Cousera.
- Take the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. Google built this specifically for beginners with no experience. It is affordable and globally recognised.

2. TryHackMe: This is the best starting point for beginners. It teaches you cyber security hands-on through real life labs and challenges. Visit tryhackme. com and start the free path immediately.

3. Cisco Networking Academy. Free courses directly from Cisco covering networking and cyber security fundamentals. Visit netacad. com to enrol.

Acquire any of these certifications:

1. CompTIA Security+: The baseline certification most employers look for in cyber security. It covers risk management, network security, identity management and incident response. Start here.

2. After that, go for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) which focuses on penetration testing and is one of the most respected certifications in the industry globally.

You can also learn cyber security via these YouTube channels to follow:

1. Professor Messer. Best free resource for CompTIA Security+ preparation. Everything is broken down simply.

2. NetworkChuck. Covers cyber security, networking and ethical hacking in a very practical and entertaining way. Perfect for beginners.

3. David Bombal. Advanced but very detailed. Great for when you are past the basics.

Once you have at least one certification, go to LinkedIn and set your profile up properly. Turn on "Open to Work" and filter for remote cyber security roles.

Also check Indeed Nigeria, Glassdoor Nigeria and platforms like RemoteRocketship and WeWorkRemotely for international remote roles that accept Nigerian applicants.

Cyber security is one of the highest paying remote roles available to Nigerians today, with global average salaries ranging from $70,000 upward per year. That is over ₦100 million annually at current exchange rates.

The laptop is already in your hands.

Above all, love God.

Since you want to be so kind to “repentant terrorists,” build a reorientation camp somewhere and keep them there for the rest of their lives. And turn them into farmers.

They have succeeded in sacking farming communities so turn them into farmers and make sure they cultivate all those farmlands deep into the forests they use to operate in. Their KPIs will be good and consistent harvest that feeds the nation. You will feed them from what they produce.

Any one of them that steps outside the camp without an armed guard to escort them will be shot on sight.

Again, since you want to be kind to killers, at least make them useful to the society, and keep them away from innocent civilians.

She deleted hundreds of photos. Emptied her spam. The warning wouldn't go away.

She pulled out her credit card, ready to pay the $100/year Google One subscription.

Her IT friend grabbed her phone: "Before you pay Google a monthly tax for the rest of your life, let me show you something."

He opened her Google account and shook his head.

"There are 8 hidden data hogs filling up your free 15GB. Google hides them so you are forced to upgrade. Let's fix this."

if you are struggling to find your gift in life as a young person, walk through this piece.

& pay solid attention;

i have a working theory and this is it: i don't think your gift is hidden from you, i believe you can't find it cos you've seen it every day of your life. it is called the curse of familiarity. listen to me. familiarity doesn't only breed contempt; it also causes blindness.

i'll tell you something fascinating about your brain. do you know that right now your nose is in your field of vision? you can see it. you've always been able to see it but your brain quietly edits it out cos it is familiar and i believe many people suffer from the same problem when it comes to their gift.

the things that make us remarkable often feel ordinary to us cos we've lived with them for so long.

we assume they can't be valuable cos they don't feel rare anymore. look, familiarity has a tendency to hide significance. we get so busy searching for our future that we overlook the evidence we've been carrying all along.
the first person to undervalue your gift is usually you. yes, you and while everybody else experiences your gift as a miracle, you're busy experiencing it as muscle memory.

i've been there and it has happened to me many times. people will call it exceptional and you'll call it normal. the things that come naturally to you may be the very things that have been supernaturally assigned to you & that which you cannot acknowledge, you cannot maximize. i will always tell the younger generation the truth.

in this short life, during your hard times and good times, pay close attention to patterns and to what has followed you through all those seasons. pay attention to what people consistently come to you for. what is that thing that has become invisible through familiarity?

there is a difference btwn when something is hidden from your sight and when something is hidden by your sight, buena suerte 👍
