Dear Alex Onyia @winexviv,
Concerned Nigerians have read your recent tweet where you said the Ministry of Education is demanding total handover of the Olympiads portfolio so they can sponsor them with government funds.
Please don’t fall for the illusion that the federal government is selling you.
They didn’t care about these Olympiads for 7 years. Now that you’ve single-handedly redefined education and put the finest brains among our teens on the global map, they suddenly want to “sponsor” everything.
Don’t let them politicize your hard work, which they will definitely do if you emotionally allow them.
They will introduce tribalism, disqualify the best students, and push incompetent ones forward just as they’ve always done.
Look at our athletes under government sponsorship. How many times have they missed international appearances?
This is classic Tinubu and APC style.
Please protect what you’ve built.
Our children deserve merit, not politics.

Un but de plus pour Kylian Mbappé. Contre le racisme cette fois. Tout mon soutien. Quand les mots salissent, nos valeurs répondent : dignité, respect, fraternité. @KMbappe 👏

"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive att@ck on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidn@ppings and Bøko Haram att@cks."

English journalists: "Mikel Arteta and set pieces are ruining football."
Same English journalists when England rely on another set piece goal: "Thomas Tuchel perfectly exploiting the small margins. Great coaching."
