Transforming Education in Africa; democratizing access to Digital Technologies/Skills for the African 'grassroot' schools & institutions with @schoolsfocus
@sandra_baebae@kenkenlewu The wife is also a daughter in the husband's family.
If the husband's father dies any year, she (the wife) should also be billed equally as all children of the father in-law.
The current Nigeria National Anthem “Nigeria, We Hail Thee” was composed by Frances Berda, a British composer and the lyrics was written by Lillian Jean Williams.
The one that was recently replaced “Arise, O Compatriots” was composed by Benedict E. Odiase and the lyrics was written by Nigeria Police Band.
“Arise, O Compatriots” was more locally rooted, while the older anthem “Nigeria, We Hail Thee” has colonial fingerprints.
Is Nigeria truly independent when even its national anthem wasn’t fully authored by its own people?
📚 If you’re a student choosing what to focus on, pick MATH. It will teach you to relentlessly rely on your own brain, think logically, break down problems, and solve them step by step in the right order. That’s the core skill you’ll need to build companies and manage projects.
@esteemkuti@winexviv And if your children are in same school or meet these same children later?
Nothing will rub off, you think?
This "not my business" is why the rot in the society keeps deepening .
When I was 10, I wrote the NMS (Nigerian Military School), Zaria exams. I had the 3rd highest score and I was denied admission because... take a guess... I had an Igbo name and my State of Origin was Anambra.
The next year, at age 11, I did the same for the Military school in Sokoto, Army Day Secondary School; I had the top score and didn't get an admission letter because... well the same reason.
For this second one, I was really pained, because one of the requirements was you couldn't write the exams if you were above a certain weight.
Yet, the then Sultan of Sokoto, Dasuki's son, wrote that exam, despite being grossly overweight, and he FAILED that exam, because when we went to check our scores I saw his, and he still got admitted into that school.
Imagine being a young child, getting 3rd highest and highest scores for a national exam, two years in a row, and having no idea why you still didn't get an admission letter, while someone who failed to meet ALL requirements for an admission gets one.
It was an unwritten rule then, (possibly even now still is) that Igbos were as much as possible, to be kept out of the Military.
This same shit happens across the country in non-Igbo States, where Igbo students write exams.
This shit has been happening to Igbo people for donkey years.
These are the stark, pertinent issues. Your country is flawed. Your country hates a particular tribe and that hate is the reason your country will never move forward.
It feeds on this hate and sustains it against good judgement and the overall good of all, classic "cut your nose to spite your face".
The discrimination and outright blatant bias against Igbo people is glaring, and only a stark idiot will deny it's existence.
At least the Hausas try to hide it. These lot who stole power in 2023, are brazen and couldn't care less, yet tomorrow they expect you to be in solidarity with them because we are all "Southerners".
So when Igbo people complain about marginalisation, and exclusion, before you try to blame us or say we're "acting like victims", sit down and hear our stories.
Once we start telling them, better be ready to hear it all because I assure you, it will take far longer time than the 1,001 nights, Queen Scheherazade spent telling King Shahryar her stories.
There's a ton of them, and each new one is more painful, more vexing and more perplexing than the one before it.
Meet the man, Professor Felix Oragwu. A forgotten genius.
Imagine achieving something so groundbreaking that the world catches up 56 years later, yet your name is barely mentioned. That is the story of Professor Felix Oragwu, a brilliant mind who led Biafra’s Research and Production (RAP) team during the war.
At the height of the conflict, while resources were scarce, he and his team developed the famous Ogbunigwe bomb and did something almost unthinkable—they successfully processed palm oil to power a jet airplane. A war-torn nation, cut off from the world, had managed to turn a local resource into aviation fuel!
Yet, after the war, his incredible innovations were buried and forgotten. Fast forward to today, Indonesia is celebrating the same breakthrough—powering an aircraft with palm oil, something Oragwu and his team had already done more than five decades ago.
On March 22, 2025 this remarkable man turned 91 years old. It’s not just a birthday; it’s a moment to reflect on the brilliance, resilience, and lost potential of a generation that was ahead of its time.
Professor Oragwu, we celebrate you! May history finally give you the recognition you deserve?
@Bashtofa20@DavidHundeyin You can get a CBT software that doesn't allow candidates switch windows once exam is in progress.
But also, this should work best if the exam is in a supervised environment so they can't use other devices.
Bro Nigeria is draining young people and they’re catching cruise lol, gen z no go know when them go reach 40years without anything to show for it make una dey do tiktok sha.
The way Nigerians are treated abroad is caused by multiple factors. Some may blame it on the government. Others blame it on Nigerians. And others blame it on foreign governments and citizens. It is all of the above. But it always starts from somewhere. A thread.
I never thought I'd one day start re-considering the option of leaving, which I had not accepted the opportunities several times in past years.
Many of us believed in Nigeria.
It's heart breaking 💔
Anybody who knows me will tell you that if everybody in Nigeria decides to relocate, I’d be the one to lock the gate after they leave. That’s how much I love this place.
When my friends and family ask me why I’ve not relocated or considered it, I jokingly say it’s because Amala joints are not everywhere like there are in Nigeria.
It hurts me so much that in recent times, I have been thinking strongly about relocating. I have never been forced in my life to do something I didn’t want to do but it’s getting inevitable. If I ever leave Naija, it’ll be against my will.
Why am I saying this?
Reflecting on the solemnity and significance of this Good Friday. May the peace and blessings of this holy day fill your hearts and homes. 🙏

@GeekyAdams@Olamdeen@NafdacAgency This is funny.
Why don't they use a piece of code (just one line) that updates that automatically every new year?
This tells you how serious they are, and the kind of people that manage the affairs of such a critically important organisation.
I must say that the sole agenda is to use the church to push this lgdbtv of a thing. Because they know that many people in Africa are loyal to their faith and hence will abide and accept it as normal since it came from the Pope. The church is the propagation tool. Wake up Africa 🌍
