@AirtelNigeria your network is very terrible for 2 days now even with having decent 5G network coverage. This is cheating and need to be compensated.
@ConsumersNCC
@sugabelly Your take is far from the Arc Ayo's reason for advocating for louvres.
Besides, it's 2026 and there are plenty of cleaning innovations out there, and if there's none, that's a business startup waiting to happen.
My secondary school motto was "Work and Pray"
1. Diet, importanter!, as natural as possible.
2. Read to him or her as early as possible(6 months)
3. Age 1-3: "Help me to do it by myself": engross the child in the fine art of Montessori learning or find a great school that teaches Montessori style.
4. Age 3 to 5: "Help me to think by myself": Sensory skill development, number sense, reading using phonemes et al. Still I'd recommend the Montessori style yet again.
No screens, yet!!!
5. Age 6-11: "I can learn beyond my age": An average Nigeria school will try to limit them but no gree for anybody.
Choke them with challenges of their age and beyond.
Regardless of the subjects they will do at school, make sure these subjects are early introduced by you or a teacher: verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning( I will personally recommend that of the UK and Australia)
Invest in extracurricular activities especially those that will really be beneficial e.g: swimming, chess, coding, free play, etc.
Early exposure to global doings especially kids on spotlight helps a lot.
Find a way to make sure your child teach what they know either to you or a sibling ("You learn twice when you teach")
You will be tempted to pick their absolute spotlight subject, but please don't. Just watch and observe and around age 8 to 9, you will see some signs of what that child really wants to dip his or her excellence.
Once you find that thing ehn, invest in it like preparing that child for the Olympics: extra teachers, online classes, personal challenges with rewards, early exposure to competition around your area, state, and federal, and even outside the world.
While doing the above, check on their academics: if the child is on a streak of win in a school, change his or her school for a more challenging one to play again, and on academics, that's just the play.
Of utmost importance is their mental health, be available to make it healthy and please really make sure there is love at home.
Lastly, pray because you have really put in the work above but know that excellence is truly rewarded, medal or no medal.
@arunaafeez@Bellowalterz@misty_abisola Please, is this book easily available shops in Nigeria?
My 2+ year old possesses every trait of a genius. He's not in school yet, bt can identify, count and read numbers 1 -15 (for now), identify and read all the alphabet, identify and call most animals, can hold a conversations
This JSS 3 boy, Victor Onwubiko, has finished K.A. Stroud’s _Engineering Mathematics_ back to back. He is the best mathematician in the country at the junior secondary level.
He will be competing with students from 154 other countries this week in Rome, Italy, at the fierce International STEM Olympiad competition.
He is a genius, and the world will celebrate him.
Next week, I will be taking 3 students and 2 teachers to Rome, Italy, all expenses paid by me.
All visas have been issued and all arrangements have been sorted.
The students will represent Nigeria in the Maths and Science categories of the International STEM Olympiad.
They will compete alongside 154 other countries.
The students who won the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad and the teachers who supported them are going. Both the teachers and the students will experience growth together.
I will continue to push our bright minds to global stages.
In 10 years, I pray you will be alive to see the outcome of our investments in our children today.
Every few months I have to come out and ‘defend’ my name on the internet. Crazy that I never had to defend my result though.
Anyway, my dad is from Delta, and my mum is from Ogun state.
So I’m entitled to the name. It had nothing to do with my result though. 😏
Till next time.
