Christlikeness = joy in suffering.
“You became imitators . . . of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 1:6
Every developed nation first became an education superpower before becoming an economic superpower.
Education is not another sector.
Education is the operating system of a nation.
Everything else runs on it.
Why does God strip away our self-sufficiency? John Piper opens Psalm 78:1–19 to show how wilderness testing trains us to trust. https://t.co/NjYi57ggPr
South Koreans will be selling us love and empathy in their movies but in real life, see how they are treating their team and players. In the most inhumane manner. Two opposites

In Ghana, any child who qualifies to represent the country in the International Maths Olympiad gets an automatic scholarship to MIT.
Interestingly, the head of their local Olympiad unit is a Nigerian. He left Nigeria the moment the Nigerian government stopped sponsoring our students for the program.
MIT students regularly travel to Ghana to prepare their students for the Olympiad.
It is also a huge talent pipeline for a company called Jane Street. They are the major sponsor for Ghana Maths Olympiad. Their starting salary is between $300k - $600k annually.
Reminder: A 20-year-old student was shot in broad daylight, bundled into a police van, and logged as an unclaimed casualty.
This is the Nigeria we live in.
This is not normal.

Occasionally, ask yourself “How am I complicit in creating the conditions I say I don’t want?”
Because it’s so easy to blame other people while avoiding the discomfort of self-reflection.
"Your intellectual and moral claims are wholly the product of your social location"--but that statement itself is the product merely of your your social location and dismissible. So we have to believe in some kind of objective truth to even function. - (paraphrasing P. Berger)
Please raise your daughters to have hobbies, interests, and academics...so when they become adults and middle-aged women they have something to talk about besides a man.
