At Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, a billboard has been put up for our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, to celebrate him as he arrived in Owerri today.
He is 11 years old and the world’s best in the Primary category for Mathematics.
He is so good that he finished the exam and fell asleep.
What a star!
Dear Alex Onyia @winexviv,
Concerned Nigerians have read your recent tweet where you said the Ministry of Education is demanding total handover of the Olympiads portfolio so they can sponsor them with government funds.
Please don’t fall for the illusion that the federal government is selling you.
They didn’t care about these Olympiads for 7 years. Now that you’ve single-handedly redefined education and put the finest brains among our teens on the global map, they suddenly want to “sponsor” everything.
Don’t let them politicize your hard work, which they will definitely do if you emotionally allow them.
They will introduce tribalism, disqualify the best students, and push incompetent ones forward just as they’ve always done.
Look at our athletes under government sponsorship. How many times have they missed international appearances?
This is classic Tinubu and APC style.
Please protect what you’ve built.
Our children deserve merit, not politics.
RT by Lending your voice 🙏

We're inside a bus and a mother came running to the park and gave her son a polythene bag containing hot fresh fufu.
The guy sitting by the entrance door was wearing an NYSC khaki.
She prayed for him and before she could leave, metal from the bus body tore the bag and the fufu fell to the floor of the park.
The mother picked it up, scraped some parts that touched sand and asked the son to hold it while she went to get a stronger sack.
One girl inside the bus said, "pls tell me you're gonna throw that thing away later".
People were laughing but what I saw was a mother's love.
Yesterday, my brother’s wife gave birth to quadruplets four healthy boys!
What makes the story even crazier is that throughout the pregnancy, every scan kept showing only twins.
Nobody had any idea there were two extra babies hiding in there!
I had to rush from Enugu to Port Harcourt yesterday because my brother was literally feeling the labour pains more than his wife.
When I arrived, I met the strongest man in our family crying like a baby.
And when the doctor said she would have to deliver via C-section, he nearly fainted😂
Thank God everything went well in the end.
After all the drama, we were blessed with four beautiful boys.
I’m officially a quadruplets uncle now!
Under my regime, once you launch your new fashion line and up to five of your designs look like what everybody and their tailor is already selling, you will be shut down. Because what exactly is the gap you claim you came to fill?
If more than two designers are producing the exact same designs, all of you will report to court and prove who launched first. If nobody can prove it, only the designer with the better price point survives. The rest of you, back to the sketchbook.
If your brand story and your designs are not speaking the same language, you will be shut down. You also cannot be shouting “empowering the everyday working woman” while your dresses start from ₦100k. You’ll be shut down and fined for your deceptive advertising.
If your finishing is poor and you still have the audacity to be launching more collections instead of getting better, you will be shut down and sentenced to two years of compulsory and intensive design training. You will only return to the market after you pass with an above-average score. No mercy because what are we here for?
If you just woke up one day and because you dress well, you decided to start a fashion brand without any training or real business knowledge, no fashion license for you. Bring a co-founder who actually understands design and the fashion business, then the state can listen to you.
To obtain the state fashion license, you must prove that at least twenty people in your immediate circle can actually afford what you’re selling. The state will not entertain “aspirational pricing.”
Everybody running RTW brands must think carefully before naming them. Words will mean exactly what they mean. If you claim RTW and you are operating like couture-by-whatsapp, you will be shutdown and fined wickedly.
If you give your designs traditional human names like Aduke, Ijeoma, Amaka and friends, the state will conduct background checks. We will locate real women who bear those names. If up to ten of them cannot afford the outfit you named after them, you will be barred from using human names moving forward. Because if the actual humans carrying the name of your design cannot even dream of buying it… what exactly are you doing? Tribute or subtle mockery? You and your pricing delusions will be shut down.
And if you say you cater to diverse body types, you must prove it. Either use state-assigned models across sizes or submit your casting for review. If your “diversity” is size 6, size 8, etc., you will not only be shut down, you will do jail.
