The South East is making a choice.
We will double down on eliminating illiteracy.
Every child who cannot read, write and reason represents lost potential for our economy, our security and our future.
We are studying the education systems that consistently produce some of the world’s strongest learning outcomes, including Singapore and China.
We are no longer educating children just to survive.
We are educating them to compete globally and lead.
That is the future we are building.
Look at America, Europe and Canada today.
Indians are leading top companies, building global technology, running hospitals, teaching in world-class universities and occupying important positions across the world.
Look at China.
They moved hundreds of millions from poverty to global power by taking education, science, engineering, manufacturing and national planning seriously.
None of this happened by accident.
Nations that invest in human capital eventually export influence.
That is the path we must take.
We are not grooming children just to survive Nigeria.
We are grooming a generation that will compete with the best minds on earth.
Our education must move from survival to global domination.
Someone called the police on a little boy in Hapeville, Georgia last week.
A neighbor had dialed 911 to report a kid going door to door in the neighborhood. Officer Colleran from the Hapeville Police Department was dispatched to handle the "disturbance."
When he arrived, he found a young boy, politely knocking on doors, hat in hand, asking if anyone needed their weeds pulled, their grass cut, or their hedges trimmed.
He wasn't begging. He wasn't causing trouble.
He was working.
Officer Colleran asked the boy what he was saving up for.
"A PlayStation 5, sir. But I don't want anyone to just give it to me. I want to earn it."
Let that sink in for a second. A child out in the summer heat, going door to door with a work ethic most adults would envy, because he wanted to earn what he wanted. Not ask for it. Not expect it. Earn it.
Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, knew exactly how much a PS5 meant to that kid. And he also knew something else, he was looking at a boy with more character than most people twice his age.
So he made some calls.
He reached out to a few friends, they pooled their money, and together they showed up with a brand new PlayStation 5 and a gift card for an online membership.
The boy who someone wanted removed from the neighborhood went home that day with more than a console.
He went home knowing that the right people are paying attention.
I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
@GameOvRMan@EazyBobWizzy@Trevornoah And the difference I was pointing out was with the kind of licensing agreement; movie licensing on console is just the basic content licensing agreement. No movie is built for a specific console.
@Famunids@EazyBobWizzy@Trevornoah Both agreements are different. They are technically licenses, but one is more based on partnerships and the other is a more open license agreement
@GameOvRMan@EazyBobWizzy@Trevornoah But this isn’t a Sony issue. It is an issue with the developer. Even if you had your Blu Ray version, you would still not be able to play online or update it.
@FuzzInvasion@EazyBobWizzy@Trevornoah It’s not the exact same agreement. It CANNOT be. Console maker-game developer agreements are more water tight. There are partnerships beyond just licensing agreements. Movies are merely content.
@thecokeboy_@EazyBobWizzy@Trevornoah It’s simple Chief. The license agreement between the console manufacturer and game developer is different from movie-console content licensing agreement.
Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, just came out of the International STEM Olympiad finale.
Listen to his experience.
We are rooting for him to win gold.
Today in Rome, I could see different government delegates from other countries, including China and Singapore, right here to support their students for International STEM Olympiad.
No single government delegate from Nigeria.
Is this how much our government abhors education?
This is Master Chisom Unachukwu. His students won first, second, and third positions at the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad.
He will be going to Rome today, all expenses paid by me, to watch his students challenge bright students from 154 other countries at the International STEM Olympiad.
There is hardly any competition he attends in the country where his students don’t win top 3 prizes. He has won every competition he attends in Nigeria.
He studied mathematics at UNILAG.
I’m rewarding his efforts and those of other teachers. The reward of teachers is here on earth too.
This is just the beginning, and the world will know him.
This teacher has not left the shores of Nigeria before, but this week he will be going on an all-expenses-paid trip to Rome, Italy, because the student he taught did well at the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad and gave him the opportunity.
It’s always a thing of joy to reward the effort of teachers.
This boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi Ethan, is in Primary 6 and the best primary school mathematician in the country.
He will compete with students from 154 other countries in Rome, Italy this week.
He is a genius, and the world will know him.
The 3 wise men from the East are set to head to Rome: Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Egejurum Onyedikachi, and Don Anele Munachimso.
Their assignment is simple: bring back the gold.
They will be competing with 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this week.
Since Nigeria couldn’t qualify for the World Cup, this will be our World Cup.
