I am super grateful about this. Some of my mutuals have contacted me and donated money. In fact, we now have over 100k for him. 2 of my colleagues have also promised to send their own wig and gowns since they are not in active litigation. Then just a while ago, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria promised to send him a brand new wig and gown as well.

I can’t appreciate you all enough. God bless you.

23 years later, in 2022, I found the teacher (who had relocated from Offa to Osogbo) and went to greet him in Osogbo.

I also presented a copy of my memoir (I mentioned my math story in the book) to him.

Since then, we've been in touch. One of his children is my follower.

Man saved me from math!

Only 8 countries have won the World Cup since 1930.

And the number is not increasing this year.

All four semi finalists have won it before.

I was so poor in Mathematics that I was nicknamed "I don't know Math (sic)" in Class 6 because I gave that as answer to my teacher when he asked me a question in class.

JSS 1-3, same story.

I think I had P7 in it in Junior WAEC.

SS 1-2, similar story.

Then in January 1999, second term into SS2, with GCE staring me in the face, I attended a private lesson. The teacher taught me Factorization and I realized I got it. His explanation was spot on.

For the first time in my life, I understood a math topic clearly.

Then I went back to JSS 1 math texbook for personal study and finished it within a week. Then moved to JSS 2 and finished it within 2 weeks. Then JSS 3 math, then SS1, then SS2.

Then to GCE past questions.

I sat for GCE in August 1999 or so during holiday after SSS2 and made a B2.

Then WAEC in SSS3 in May 2000 and got B2 again (felt bad for this because I wanted A1).

Meanwhile, I saw that many of my school mates in Science classes (who did Further Math) did not even have B2 that I had in Math in WAEC and that prompted me to enrol for another private lesson in Further Math. "If I could score higher in Math than many science students that did Further math, I should be able to do Further math too".

I practiced a couple of topics in Further Math - Calculus, Partial Fraction etc - while waiting for OAU to resume, knowing I would need Mathematics to do well in Economics that I got admission for.

Math soon became my favourite subject. Needless to say I had A in all but one of the Math courses I did from Year 1 to graduation in Ife.

From being poor in Math to it becoming my best subject, it was a comeback I never saw coming. A turnaround that contributed largely to who I am today (my eventual grade in Economics helped largely by my scores in Math courses).

In 2022, 23 years after, I searched for and reconnected with the private teacher that saved me in SS 2 in 1999.

I know I had read and replied to this last night but I couldn't stop thinking about it. Sometimes, you wonder why our institutions are not interested in rewarding academic excellence.

It is unforgivable and blameworthy that the university management cannot reward the best student in the department and faculty. They had no excuse. The university made money. If they wanted to reward you and other outstanding students, they would.

Also, they need to constitute a convocation prize committee that will use their connections to bring government, individuals, politicians and corporate organizations who would sponsor different prize categories.

We need to make that "best graduating student" a highly coveted and enviable position.

Islam is not man-made because of the nature of the Quran. Man-made ideas constantly change, but the Quran has remained perfectly preserved in its original language for over 14 centuries.

Its laws, accurate historical accounts, and unmet literary challenge point directly to a divine origin, far beyond what any human can invent.

(Un)fun fact

The cost so far of Frame 1 (only up to this blockwork completion stage) is more than the combined costs from start to finish of the two properties in Frames 2 & 3.

Frame 1 located in Ketu, 2 & 3 located in Ajah (completed in 2023 & 2024).

The interesting thing is, the difference in cost won't be visible when completed because the bulk of the cost difference is substructural - things under the ground!

We did pile foundation for the Ketu project ie buried steel rolls 18 meter deep in 100 points as foundation of that building because of the soil type. Raft foundation was enough for the Ajah projects because the soils were better.

But this won't be visible to anyone because the difference is buried int he ground!

Construction is crazy!

PS: While difference in required foundation type (dictated by soil) accounts for bulk of the difference, hike in prices of materials accounts for part of the difference too.

Kudos to our gallant men. But there is something we are still failing to address about insecurity in Nigeria. No amount of arrest and killings will stop it if two things are not tackled decisively:

1. The funding
2. The recruitments

As long as their funders are still out there, insecurity will persist. These terrorists have both local and international sponsors. You can’t tell me this hungry looking man has any means to afford a gun or bomb and other tools they use. Some people must be funding them. So the government at all levels must have collaborative strategy to cut off funding and go all out against their sponsors.

These terrorists are not from heaven. They are from our societies. They are products of mass weddings, illiteracy, poverty and uncontrolled births. They are lacking in basic needs of life and they become ready tools in the hands of their recruiters. When you lack the basic needs of life, you can easily be brainwashed and recruited into any terror group.

I dare say that the fight against terrorism and banditry will never end if we don’t look at the cause and source. Ending insecurity has far gone beyond bomb and gun battles. It has also gone beyond using it to score cheap political points. Governments at all levels alongside the people must see this as a concern for all and must be decisively addressed.

Ultimately, family is everything.

[Sir J (J9) @SirJarus]

My own wonder: how daddy was able to finance the education (& other needs) of 30+ children (biological and non-biological).

I took it for granted until I grew up.
