We will be closing registration for the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad on September 30, 2026.
No other registrations will be accepted after the date above.
We currently have 32,738 students registered. Anambra State currently has the lowest registration so far.
The registration link remains: https://t.co/7tLQbIFrMy
We will also be introducing the South East Science Olympiad in 2027 and one registration covers both competitions. I’m worried about the current gap in science among our children, and we will urgently need to fix it.
Maths will be compulsory for everyone, while Science will be optional. However, the prize money will be split across both.
A student is allowed to win both Maths and Science. Only the winners of Maths will represent us at the global stage in Lisbon, Portugal in 2027.
We will also be sharing a new curriculum based on high-order thinking and pure application.
You break into a man's house by 2am abduct him from Enugu to Lagos, kept him away for 3 days, just to come and say a very useless O sorry we made a mistake.
The Nonsense this Akara People's Congress haven't done doesn't exist.
They've bastardised and desecrated our institutions.
The Disheartening Humiliation of Prof. Aghaji
Every day in this country, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation that we find difficult to understand: where we are and how we got to this uncivilised behaviour and rascality. Worse still, when you try to bring these abnormalities to the attention of those concerned, they resort to abuse instead of appreciation.
Just this morning, my attention was drawn to the disrespectful and humiliating circumstances surrounding the apprehension of Professor Martin Aghaji, a distinguished 74-year-old medical expert. This man was not invited, nor was any direct contact made with him. Instead, they invaded his home at Independent Layout, Enugu, in the dead of the night, at 2 a.m., to arrest him in front of his visiting daughter.
As an internationally recognised cardiothoracic surgeon, esteemed academic, and elder statesman, Professor Aghaji warrants a considerable degree of respect, both because of his advanced age and his substantial contributions to our nation. More importantly, however, every Nigerian, irrespective of status or profession, deserves to be treated with dignity and in accordance with the rule of law. After the humiliation of breaking into his house and whisking him away from Enugu to Lagos for three days, all he got was, “Sorry, we made a mistake.”
The public outcry concerning the state’s handling of Professor Aghaji’s case highlights a wider conflict between the actions of state security agencies and the imperative to safeguard professional integrity and individual dignity. Such conduct directed at a 74-year-old might not only exacerbate the critical “brain drain” but also severely damage the country’s already precarious healthcare infrastructure.
This incident brings to mind the similar mistreatment of a medical practitioner in Akwa Ibom, which prompted the Nigeria Medical Association to consider a nationwide strike. Fortunately, due to prompt intervention, a formal public apology was issued to the affected doctor.
The practice of treating highly regarded, ethical professionals - and indeed any Nigerian - like common criminals sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law across all sectors. Therefore, we must conduct ourselves with civility in the discharge of our public duties. A superior and renewed Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO

Then you come to Enugu, Mbah built what he called Smart school that aren't smart.

The billions pumped into that project, if he had listened as a leader, he would have refurbished existing government schools to Otti's standard.
Alex is GOATED.

Celebrating a Life of Faith and Service in the Lord's vineyard
Yesterday, I travelled to Ibadan with Professor Pat Utomi to join family, friends, the clergy, and the faithful in celebrating the remarkable life of His Grace, Archbishop Alaba Job, on the occasion of his 88th birthday, 60 years of priestly ordination, and 55years of episcopal ordination.
The celebration reflects a lifetime devoted to God, selfless service, peace, justice, and the upliftment of humanity. His inspiring example reminds us that true leadership is measured by sacrifice, integrity, compassion, and a commitment to serving others. At a time when our nation yearns for principled and selfless leadership, His Grace’s life remains a beacon of hope and an enduring testament to what it truly means to serve God and humanity.
I congratulate His Grace, and pray that God Almighty continues to bless him with good health, wisdom and strength as he remains a source of inspiration to the church and our nation.
After the celebration, we passed through one of the secondary schools Professor Utomi attended, Loyola College, Ibadan, and within there we saw an INEC voter registration exercise going on, and we stopped. We used that occasion to thank those registering, and appeal to those who haven't to do so before the closing date.
We encouraged them to remain committed to the democratic process, and reminded them that voter registration is the first step towards building the New Nigeria we all desire. We told them that every registered voter represents hope for a nation where leadership is driven by competence, character, compassion, and a commitment to the common good.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Hats off to Cape Verde, man! Absolute absolute respect where its due. They've carried themselves fantastically well in this tournament.
Even if their run ends today, they've created a story worth passing down generations
This youngster, Don Anele Munachimso Marvelous, was the best Chemistry student in Nigeria in IGCSE. He won the ₦5 million star prize as the best in the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad. He also took first position in the country at the National Mathematics competition in Abuja.
He also won a $100k scholarship in Canada.
He will compete with students from 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this Saturday.
He is a genius, and the world will know him.
Master Chisom Unachukwu and his student Victor Onwubiko from Evergreen Schools Enugu have arrived in Lagos safely and are set to head to Rome, Italy, to represent Nigeria at the International STEM Olympiad this week.
His student won the Junior category for 2026 South East Maths Olympiad.
His student will be competing with students from 154 other countries.
Their assignment is simple: bring home the gold.
@winexviv thanks for all you do, we don't take them for granted.
A government that listens indeed.
I hope the one in Enugu borrows a leaf from Otti's reforms, than being so obstinate in his smart school reforms.
This is the new public school in Abia State. 19 others are currently being built.
What they’re doing is transforming already existing schools into this. This is American-standard schooling.
You remember I once criticized their first smart school attempt, which the government later condemned entirely and followed this approach instead.
I’m so impressed with the Abia State Government.
They listen, and they are truly for their people.
