Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza just shared his 200-level, 1st-semester result with me.
I discovered this star boy in a remote village in Okene, Kogi State in 2024.
I saw his zeal and determination and decided to take a bet on him. It worked out.
He is currently studying Software Engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure.
We have lots of stars hidden in remote places like Idris that are yet to be discovered.
Yesterday morning, these children from Abor village in Enugu State gathered to learn “Place Value” in Mathematics. The turnout became so large that we now have to create a daily timetable for different groups.
These are the same children the community had been saying were not serious about their studies for years. Yet, we changed that narrative after just one encounter.
Before this holiday ends, every child in this village will have a strong foundation in Mathematics.
And here’s the most interesting part: no teacher is standing in front of the class. We only have a supervisor to maintain order while the children learn through world-class lessons delivered in the most engaging and exciting way.
Children are the same everywhere.
The difference is not intelligence.
The difference is access.
@winexviv Good start. Let's call for volunteers to recreate these lessons in our local English accent and also in Igbo for those kids in remote villages whose have not mastered English language.
I will be running another experiment.
The top 40 students in Enugu from the last Olympiad will engage in a 3-week bootcamp to learn some critical skills with precision.
They will learn how to build drones from the ground up, auto mechanics, precision welding, electrical work, and basic programming.
Some experts will fly into Enugu for the period to train them on these skills. It will run from August 10 to August 30.
If this works as planned, then it will give us stronger validation for the skill development program we are currently designing.
Don’t be tired of my experiments. Whatever works, we scale quickly.
Cause not known. Risk factors: genetics, lifestyle, obesity, hormonal imbalance, etc. Black women are more predisposed compared to other racesof women.
Our mothers of old didn't have fibroids because of early pregnancy. Women who wait till their late 20s to 30s to have their first kid are more likely to suffer from fibroids.
The calendar for the 2027 South East Maths & Science Olympiad is now out!
The competition is open to Primary, Junior, and Senior categories.
All stages will be fully computer-based, and students will receive their results next day, along with detailed answer explanations, enabling them to learn from the questions they found most challenging.
We are building the greatest workforce in Africa within 10 years.
35,705 students have registered for the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad!
Boys: 16,569
Girls: 19,136
Registrations by state:
Anambra: 2,258
Abia: 8,281
Enugu: 8,491
Ebonyi: 6,919
Imo: 9,756
This year's competition will now include both Mathematics and Science (optional), with a single registration covering both.
Our winners will represent the country at the International STEM Olympiad in Lisbon, Portugal, and the Singapore Maths Olympiad Finals in Singapore in 2027.
Following the competition, we will also rank the educational performance of the South Eastern states based on the average assessment results.
The entire South East is building remarkable academic momentum, and it is inspiring to watch.
We will broadcast the competition live on Afia TV, and I will also try to secure a live broadcast on Arise News.
It is now the biggest academic competition on the continent.
Remember, participation is completely free and is open to any child who lives in or attends school in the South East.
Today, the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, invited our world maths champion and young genius, Onwubiko Chimdiebube, along with his mathematics teacher, Master Chisom Unachukwu. He spent quality time with them, encouraging and inspiring them.
The Governor awarded ₦2 million each to Chimdiebube and his teacher, and an additional ₦1 million to their school, bringing the total support to ₦5 million.
I sincerely appreciate Governor Peter Mbah and his team for recognizing excellence. Winning on the global stage is no small feat, especially for such a young talent.
Through mathematics, our young people are standing before kings.
Today, the T.N. Onodingene Family of Abor, Udi LGA, Enugu State, made this facility available for free to serve as one of the 2027 South East Mathematics Olympiad Preparatory Centre and also one of the official examination venues.
The facility features a 60-computer CBT centre, 24/7 internet access, a physical library, an 80-seat conference hall, and three dedicated workstations.
Students from any part of the country are welcome to use the facility free of charge.
This is the kind of investment in education that transforms lives and creates opportunities for generations to come.
We hope to see more families, individuals, organizations, and communities make similar contributions across the South East and beyond.
Please join us in appreciating the T.N. Onodingene Family for this remarkable act of generosity and their unwavering commitment to advancing education and empowering the next generation.
