“I have known Onyeka Nwelue since 2007, back in our University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) days. Those of us who encountered him in that formative period of our lives will agree on one thing: Onyeka has never been content with shallow questions. Even as a young undergraduate, he was restless not in a careless way, but in an intellectual way.
He was always searching, always interrogating assumptions, always dissatisfied with the easy answers that most of us were willing to accept.
Years have passed since those Nsukka days, but that core trait has not changed. If anything, it has deepened.
The book you hold in your hands The Algebra of Poverty: Eradicating Poverty in
Africa Through Physics Education is not a casual work. It is the product of a mind that refuses to accept poverty as destiny and refuses to romanticize suffering as culture.
Onyeka’s central provocation is both simple and radical: poverty in Africa is not merely an economic condition; it is also a cognitive and structural condition. And if it is cognitive and structural, then it can be modeled, understood, dismantled and rebuilt differently.
That is an audacious claim.”

I have known Alex Onyia since 2007. We were in University of Nigeria same time. When I was interviewing people for my documentary film, The House of Nwapa, he went around with me to interview the children of Flora Nwapa.
Alex believes he was created to support people. He has not changed.
I hope he does not change.

I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
