I think I have found the "Nash equilibrium" between FG & ASUU.
Let me explain:
Since funding is the major reason ASUU is always on strike action, FG should sell 80% of their stake in Nigerian Universities to private investors who will raise money through school fees..... 1/3
Look at Chimdiebube Onwubiko with my governor, Peter Mbah, today.
Best in Junior category maths in the world.
This is just the beginning of greater things to come.
Education is now taking its rightful place in our society.
This is one hill I'm willing die on.
No pet lover is mentally stable.
Pet in this sense include cat, dog, rat, lion, chicken, etc.
Pet lovers to my mind, lacks the emotional capacity to bond with fellow humans hence, descends to lower order of things to love pets.
Just this 2026, a 4 years old girl was killed by a pit bull that belonged to her immediate family in Germany.
Zambia’s Mulala died in January 2023 after being attacked by his own dogs, which were widely reported to be pit bulls at his home in SA.
10 years ago, a 3 years old newborn was fatally attacked by the family’s dog,
Despite hundreds of tragic stories like these, many are still pet lovers who endanger the lives of their infants, their visitors, bystanders and even themselves by catering to animals who could potentially kill them in the split of a second.
At the end of the day, only a born-fool will carry a new born to pitbulls who, like every other animal, are incapable of consistent rational behaviour to fraternize with it.
There’s no pet owner in Nigeria who is mentally stable!!!! Not one!!!
More good news.
Don Anele Munachimso also won gold in Science.
He is the best in world science.
Remember, he is the best in IGCSE Chemistry in Nigeria.
The investment is worth it.
Egejurum Onyedikachi shares his experience winning the gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Final in Rome.
He is the best in the world in the Mathematics Primary Category.
He is a genius.
Chimdiebube Onwubiko won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad.
He is just 13 years old and currently in JSS3. He has finished _Engineering Mathematics_ by K.A. Stroud.
He has now proven himself on the world stage.
Educare received this special recognition from the International STEM Olympiad, Rome.
We will continue to build the right technology that powers education and also support our children to shine on global stages.
This is Mr. Benjamin, and he is in charge of assessments for the International STEM Olympiad.
He said that this year's exam was the toughest ever, and for our boys to get gold, it means they are far ahead of their peers.
Nigeria has the brightest untapped brains globally.
Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible.
What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing.
Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.
Never get married because people are telling you that it is time to get married. Get married when you agree with the person you want to marry that it is time to marry each other. If you meet someone working on a timetable, run far away from them. You are only a means to an end.
Easiest ways to know they like you:
- They communicate with you often.
- They gift you.
- They get jealous.
- Act of service comes easy.
- They enjoy spending time with you.
- They make your life easier.
- They allow you into their world.
- You’ll feel the excitement.
Why do you think people pray together?
In esoteric traditions there is a concept called Egregore.
An egregore is a thought-form created by collective attention.
When many minds focus on the same idea with emotion and intention, they generate a shared psychic structure.
Thoughts, emotions, and energies are fuel.
When monks chant in groups, hundreds of voices repeating the same words, the same intention, at the same time, they are feeding an egregore.
Just like millions of people sitting in front of the news, absorbing an endless stream of fear and negativity.
Or being toyed by algorithms built on addiction and dissatisfaction.
All of it feeding something.
An egregore becomes whatever you nourish it with.
Feed fear, resentment, and chaos, and those forces grow stronger.
So the question isn’t whether egregores exist.
But what you are feeding it with.
As someone who was once Anglican and now catholic, I understand what she’s trying to say but I also think she’s missing the plot.
Every church has a way of doing things.
If you listen to a lot of Pentecostal pastors and you attend a catholic mass, you will need a lot of time to adjust.
There’s a certain kind of solemnity that you get in Catholic Church that you can’t find elsewhere.
Wanting your priest to preach like AJS is an error. A Christian understands that it is the whole service that blesses you and not just a part of the service. People have different gifts. Some might preach better than others but the goal of a sermon is not who teaches better but the quality of what you are being taught and how it impacts your life. We are in the era where pastors can’t preach if someone isn’t playing the keyboard in the background. So you see all these and wonder why your own Priest is dull or doesn’t preach with so much vim.
I’m of the personal belief that you can’t get all you need for your Christian journey from a particular man of God. This also means that you are very much within your right to change church if you feel your current one doesn’t minister to you anymore.
We need to look beyond the noise and ask ourselves what really matters when it comes to seeking the Lord. Once you figure this out, it will be your guiding light.

AI Made it Possible
Yesterday I wrote about a quiet shift in my life: moving from fast running to a slower jog-and-walk routine. What I did not say clearly enough is this: AI made that transition possible.
I am a data-driven person. For over fifteen years, I have been collecting information about myself the way a careful archivist collects manuscripts. My annual medical tests from 2009 sit neatly in my library.
My watch records my steps, sleep, and heart rate. My running data stretches across years of kilometres, pace charts, and training logs.
When you gather that much data about your own life, you become a believer, almost in the religious sense, not in superstition, but in evidence.
So when Nigerians offer unsolicited advice, and we are world champions at that, I usually smile.
Someone says, “This running is too much, your knees will suffer.” Another warns, “At your age, your heart cannot take this level of exercise.”
I nod politely. After all, I have my X-rays. My ECG results. Years of cardiology reports from some of Nigeria's best doctors. The numbers tell their own story.
But the beauty of a rational believer is this: you submit to superior evidence when it appears.
Recently, I uploaded fifteen years of my personal health and fitness data to an AI platform. What came back was remarkable.
The system analysed patterns across my runs, medical tests, and sleep and recovery data that human eyes had missed.
It confirmed my strong fitness profile. My VO₂ max is high. My 2025 heart results were better than some earlier years.
My blood sugar, cholesterol and blood counts all told a reassuring story.
Then the AI asked a simple question: What is your goal—fitness for ego or longevity?
I said longevity. Its response was blunt: “Then you are on the wrong path.”
Using my own data, it showed how sustained high-intensity running at my pace — about 5:45 per kilometre — could create long-term stress as I approach sixty.
It flagged the interaction between fasting, high-intensity exercise, low protein intake and hormonal balance. It mapped the trajectory clearly.
Evidence changed my mind and modified my behaviour.
And that experience left me with a larger thought.
If AI can analyse 15 years of one man’s life and offer clarity, imagine what it can do for a city, a school, a local government, a state, or a federal agency.
While I support stronger AI governance and regulation and largely agree with Yuval Harari about the dangers, I am also convinced that AI can leapfrog Africa.
Let's imagine a city digitising building approvals and actual completion in every neighbourhood, and linking them to school capacity, hospital access, boreholes, generators, and water demand — all layered together.
Imagine how transformational that data will be on city management. That is governance powered by intelligence available on a desktop, not by expensive consultants.
For Africa, AI may be our leapfrog moment.
Listening to Dr Miller at the Athena Centre-US Embassy workshop on AI in education, I agree with her that AI is Africa's moment.
The train is already moving. The real question is whether Africa will get on it in time.
I am on the train, and it is transforming my life.
