COVID is the major reason I supported Elon when he offered to buy this app
The former Twitter folks were high handed. To the point where if your tweet carried the word "COVID" your account may get restricted. Happened to me
Nobody was allowed to criticize or share their opinion on anything COVID related
That was the worst tyrannical move ever on the Internet. Those people bullied everyone. They nuked accounts for having different opinions. How's that not North Korea in disguise
The greatness of modern civilization is built on the backs of dialogues, disagreements, arguments, proof etc
You don't shut people up.
That's why Elon's era of Twitter is 1 million times better than pre Elon Twitter from 2018-2021.
It's not perfect, but it's way better than what we had. More importantly, there is freedom to say anything
Yesterday morning, these children from Abor village in Enugu State gathered to learn “Place Value” in Mathematics. The turnout became so large that we now have to create a daily timetable for different groups.
These are the same children the community had been saying were not serious about their studies for years. Yet, we changed that narrative after just one encounter.
Before this holiday ends, every child in this village will have a strong foundation in Mathematics.
And here’s the most interesting part: no teacher is standing in front of the class. We only have a supervisor to maintain order while the children learn through world-class lessons delivered in the most engaging and exciting way.
Children are the same everywhere.
The difference is not intelligence.
The difference is access.
I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is “useful.”
A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.
A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.
English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.
The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.
The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.
Burkinabé students now need government permission to study abroad. This means that whether your father is a cabinet minister or a private millionaire, there is no way for their children to escape the state of the country's educational system
Which leaves them no choice but to make sure that the facilities available to students in the country are befitting of their own children.
That is how a country develops an actual elite. Not like Nigeria where as soon as I finished secondary school, my parents put me on a plane to England to enjoy a standard of education that no Nigerian alive today will ever enjoy in Nigeria. The class my parents belong to is called a pseudo-elite.
A proper elite is what is coming together now in the AES. Just wait. If there is no change of Nigeria's trajectory, within 10 years, Nigerians will start going to university in Burkina Faso and making it out to be a status symbol.
Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, decided to participate again today in the International STEM Olympiad finale, science category, unprepared.
Listen to his experience.
We are rooting for him to win double gold.
See the stupid things you shameless old men say on this app.
Argentina has not scored a single penalty in this World Cup, but they are the ones who are nothing without penalties. 🤡🤡🤡
