Election Day:

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

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.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Onyedikachi Egejurum got a Gold.

He is the best in Mathematics in the world Primary Category.

This is the beginning of greatness for the country.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

The wait is over.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

[Ekeneokot Emmanuel @ManuelOkuba]

@winexviv Dammmmnnnn. This is beautiful. Congratulations to all of you.

In April 2026, these 3 girls - Chimfumnanya Stephanie Aghaduno, Abasiofon Otobong Sampson, and Damaris Oluwasemilore Oyerinde - represented Nigeria at the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) in Bordeaux, France.

66 countries participated, but unfortunately, Huaijin Lou from China won the gold prize. Our girls will try again next year and this time bring home the gold.

It was fully funded by ex-Olympiads from Special Maths Academy with zero support from the government.

Education needs to regain its place in our society.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

American: So there are terrorists causing problems in your country, right?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: That's terrible. Is the government at least doing something about it?

Nigerian: Well, our president addressed the issue.

American: Oh. What did he say?

Nigerian: He spoke about the law of lawf in the holy book

American: ...The law of love?

Nigerian: I guess

American: Okay. Did you send the military after them?

Nigerian: Hmm... at times.

American: What do you mean "at times"?

Nigerian: Sometimes we've heard the military went after them. In some cases, the terrorists ended up killing military personnel.

American: Wait. They killed your soldiers?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: Okay, so then your government retaliated and finished them off, right?

Nigerian: Mm... nah.

American: What do you mean "nah"?

Nigerian: Well, our president also gave an example from the Bible about the prodigal son on how we should accept them with love.

American: Hold on. The prodigal son?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: I'm confused. So you're telling me terrorists killed military personnel, and the response was a Bible lesson?

Nigerian: Something like that.

American: So you guys aren't doing anything?

Nigerian: No, no. We're doing something.

American: Okay. What are you doing?

Nigerian: We're rehabilitating the ones we catch.

American: You're... rehabilitating them?

Nigerian: Yes.

American: Not prosecuting them?

Nigerian: Not according to our president, no.

American: WTF WTF WTF

Nigerian: I never even tell you anything, you don dey cry

Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.

I called out this exact scenario just WEEKS ago when I was tackling Moniepoint's CEO, Tosin.

Still grateful to @Wizarab10 who helped bring awareness then.

These things play out more often than you think and only a few of you know how painful it is when you've seen talent and even managed some of them.

If I remember that his speech again, I go just dey vess.

Later you'll hear, "the white man is contributing to the underdevelopment of Africa" where our own people can't even recognize and nurture these same talent.

Everything he said

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

One of the biggest failures of our education system is that we have convinced society that intelligence is more important than character.

I have never seen a child sent to prison because he scored F9 in Mathematics or dragged to court for failing English Language.

But I have seen children grow into adults who ended up in prison because of bad behaviour.
Because they lacked discipline.
Because they could not control anger.
Because they had no empathy.
Because greed consumed them.
Because nobody truly developed their character.

Yet, every day, we terrorize children over grades as if exam scores are the final measurement of human success.

A child comes home with low marks and the entire house becomes tense.
Parents panic.
Teachers threaten.
Society mocks.

But when that same child lies, bullies others, cheats, lacks compassion, disrespects people, or shows signs of dangerous behaviour, many people ignore it because “at least he is doing well academically.”

That is the tragedy.
Education was never supposed to be only about IQ.

True education has always stood on three pillars:
Character.
Discipline.
Learning.

And somehow, we abandoned the first two and became obsessed with only the last one.

We are producing brilliant minds with broken values.
People who can solve equations but cannot manage emotions.
People who can build apps but cannot build integrity.
People with degrees but without conscience.
And then we act surprised when corruption destroys a nation.

Corruption is not an academic failure.
It is a character failure.

A country does not collapse because people cannot calculate.

A country collapses when people entrusted with power have no discipline, no empathy, no moral foundation, and no fear of destroying the future of innocent people.

Some of the most dangerous people in society are highly educated.

That should force us to reflect deeply.

Maybe our schools should spend more time teaching emotional intelligence.
Teaching empathy.
Teaching self-control.
Teaching honesty.
Teaching dignity of labor.
Teaching integrity even when nobody is watching.

Because the child who learns discipline may survive failure.
But the child who learns only how to pass exams may someday become successful without values and that is dangerous for any society.

The painful truth is this:
A nation can recover from poor grades.

But recovering from a generation raised without character may take decades.

We must stop raising children only to pass exams.

We must start raising human beings.

I love this so much. I once had a dream of producing smartphones, tablets, and laptops indigenously.

Zinox has been the only company for Laptops back in the day. Glad other companies for smartphones and Laptops are here as well.
