"A child who cannot speak their father’s or mother’s language will, at some point, stand in that homeland and feel like a stranger. Not unwelcome, not unloved, just outside something that was supposed to be theirs by birth." - Nwanyị Ọcha 2026.

I want to be fair to @PeterPsquare . He is not wrong that French opens doors Igbo does not. He is not wrong that parents get to decide how they raise their own children. But I guess he underestimates the fact that he is not just any parent. P-Square is a name millions of Igbo people grew up admiring, their success made them proud to be who they are. People all over the world sang their songs using Igbo words. So when a voice like that says Igbo is not worth passing on, it does not land like one man’s private choice. It gives permission for a belief a lot of people were already quietly carrying, that English and French, in short anything foreign, sits above Igbo, that their native language is something to graduate out of rather than something to hold onto.

I am not Igbo. I am Swiss. But my husband made it clear from the beginning that our children would speak Igbo, and I have never once seen that as a burden or a complication. Our children speak Swiss German, English, and Igbo at home, German at school, and now French as well, since that is part of their school curriculum too. Five languages, and none of them fighting each other for space. That is the part people forget when they frame this as a choice. Children do not need to pick one language to be strong in. They can navigate several at once, easily.

It is adults who turn language into a competition. Children just absorb what is spoken to them and grow fluent in all of it.

A language is not only a tool for getting ahead. It is also a rooting tool, the place where love, memory, and belonging live. It is the specific way a grandmother scolds you and forgives you in the same breath. It is a joke that only works in the original. Lose the language, and you do not just lose a skill. You lose a room in your own house, one you can still visit as a guest but never quite live in again. That is what worries me most in this conversation. A child who cannot speak their father’s or mother’s language will, at some point, stand in that homeland and feel like a stranger. Not unwelcome, not unloved, just outside something that was supposed to be theirs by birth.

One day, my sons will be handed a kola nut, and in that moment, no one should have to do it for them. They should know how to receive it, how to speak over it, how to break it themselves, not pass it along to someone else because they never learned the words or the meaning behind them. That is such a small moment, and yet it says everything. It is the difference between being someone’s guest and being someone’s own.
So when I hear “Igbo is useless,” what I actually hear is a wound that has not healed.

From the outside, I have watched how often English or French get treated as the languages worth keeping, while Igbo gets treated as the one you can afford to let go of. That preference did not come from nowhere. It is a colonial hierarchy that convinced generations of people that closeness to their own culture was a limitation rather than a foundation. I don’t say this to shame anyone, least of all a man raising his own family the best way he knows how. I say it because the people who shape how we see ourselves carry a weight beyond their own households, whether they asked for it or not.

My hope is simple. That we stop treating our children’s languages as a competition with only one winner. That we let them have both the world and their roots, and trust that they are capable of holding both without ever having to choose.

The calendar for the 2027 South East Maths & Science Olympiad is now out!

The competition is open to Primary, Junior, and Senior categories.

All stages will be fully computer-based, and students will receive their results next day, along with detailed answer explanations, enabling them to learn from the questions they found most challenging.

We are building the greatest workforce in Africa within 10 years.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

35,705 students have registered for the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad!

Boys: 16,569
Girls: 19,136

Registrations by state:

Anambra: 2,258
Abia: 8,281
Enugu: 8,491
Ebonyi: 6,919
Imo: 9,756

This year's competition will now include both Mathematics and Science (optional), with a single registration covering both.

Our winners will represent the country at the International STEM Olympiad in Lisbon, Portugal, and the Singapore Maths Olympiad Finals in Singapore in 2027.

Following the competition, we will also rank the educational performance of the South Eastern states based on the average assessment results.

The entire South East is building remarkable academic momentum, and it is inspiring to watch.

We will broadcast the competition live on Afia TV, and I will also try to secure a live broadcast on Arise News.

It is now the biggest academic competition on the continent.

Remember, participation is completely free and is open to any child who lives in or attends school in the South East.

I see a future where people from all parts of the world will come to study in Nigeria again, especially in the South East.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.

One thing became clear:

Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.

Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.

This isn't about politics.

It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.

I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.

Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.

If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

God will punish you and your Daddy.

Fuck you. Fuck your Daddy.

Your father initiated the ultimate ruin of this country. Everything your father touched oxidized and corroded completely.

If not for anything, for what he did with the borders - FUCK YOUR DADDY.

@kokokhere @seunjudah @GRVlagos @BOGbadams You cannot find a comment of me jubilating over anyone's grief irrespective of their political views. I was raised with lots of love. We mustn't politicise everything. Condole with the grieving and move the fuck on !

[SIR OBIAZIRI 👑 @Obiaziri1]

@seunjudah @GRVlagos @BOGbadams Just shut up and move on with the condolences. You mustn't display your foolery here.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I just learned that under Ghana’s Free Senior High School policy, the government pays the WASSCE registration fees for every student in public schools.

Then I looked at Nigeria, where WAEC and NECO fees have just increased.

I’m struggling to understand the logic.

Nigeria has one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world.

Thousands of children drop out every year because their families simply cannot keep up with the cost of education.

Education is under attack in Nigeria and we have to fight back.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I need your honest opinion on this.

I think it's time we introduce the South East STEM Olympiad alongside the South East Maths Olympiad. One registration covers both competitions.

Our children have significant gaps in science, and we need to fix that as soon as possible.

I'm thinking we should split the prize money between Mathematics and Science.

We can hold both competitions on the same day but at different times.

I've been studying several world-class science curricula that are built on higher-order thinking and real-world application. We can develop our own curriculum specifically for the competition and share it with schools across the South East so they can prepare their students effectively.

What do you think?

Don Anele Munachimso won 2 gold medals yesterday at the International STEM Olympiad.

He is currently the world’s best in Maths and Sciences.

He is also the best in IGCSE in Nigeria.

What a brilliant youngster!

Let it be on record that the 3 most intelligent mathematicians on earth under 15yrs old are Igbo kids from southeast Nigeria.

Again, when e reach the turn of your region, encourage youths to fry akara or sponsor mass weddings & pilgrimage.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

More good news.

Don Anele Munachimso also won gold in Science.

He is the best in world science.

Remember, he is the best in IGCSE Chemistry in Nigeria.

The investment is worth it.

[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.
