STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES ADEOLU OREOFE, WINNER OF THE 2026 AFRICAN SPELLING BEE CHAMPIONSHIP
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu celebrates 14-year-old Adeolu Oluwadamilola Oreofe for emerging as the 2026 African Spelling Bee Champion in the Junior Category of the competition held recently in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Oreofe, a student of St. Lawrence Metropolitan College in Ado Ekiti, defeated contestants from over 20 African countries to claim the continental crown, which comes with a $5,000 educational scholarship.
The President acknowledges that the outstanding achievement reflects the importance of sustained investment in education, literacy, and youth development.
He applauds the student's dedication, as well as the unwavering support of parents, teachers, and mentors who contributed to this remarkable success.
The President notes that Oreofe did not allow earlier disappointments to deter her from her determination to reach the top.
She finished second at the 2023 MTN Spelling Bee and the 2024 Ekiti State Spelling Bee. She then placed fifth at the 2025 African Spelling Bee and second at the 2025 Nigeria Spelling Bee, before clinching the first prize this year in the continental championship.
“I am convinced that this feat not only brings honour to Nigeria on the continental stage but also serves as an inspiration to millions of young Nigerians to pursue excellence in academics and personal development.
“As a government, we will continue to strengthen the education sector by creating opportunities that enable Nigerian youths to compete and excel globally. I wish Miss Oreofe continued success in her future endeavours”, the President says.

@FDogenews32 Based on the image provided,here are the words and numbers found:
"Solve this: 1+4=52+5=123+6=215+8=?"
If you're looking for the mathematical solution to this puzzle, there are two common ways to solve it:
1. Pattern A (Add the previoussum):5+8+21=44
2.Pattern B5+(8x5)(a+bxa)=45
The Best and Worst Courses To Study At University in 2025 and Beyond.
What are the best courses to read at university that will not end up as curses for you? The no-brainer answer is STEM courses. Also, disciplines that are very reliant on empathy and a human-to-human connection. I'm talking about education, nursing, psychiatry, psychology, sports medicine, etc. Then, you want to hop on emerging technologies with a long shelf life, including Blockchain, cybersecurity, machine learning, cloud computing, etc.
But when you read a course like accountancy, you need to understand that more people are leaving the profession every year than entering it.
Please fact-check me: In 2022, America lost 300,000 out of its 1.6 million accountants, whereas only 47,000 new accountants joined the profession. That ought to tell you that accountancy is on its way to becoming like Latin, a dead language.
As a human accountant, there is nothing you can do that an AI cannot do better. Meanwhile, AI is getting better and smarter.
Yesterday, someone asked me about International Relations. Again, I encourage you to cross-check me. Major universities began labelling this course as obsolete as far back as 1991. Why would anyone devote four years of their life to studying a degree that has been obsolete for thirty-four years?
In 2016, I gave a Keynote Lecture at Cal State University, Sacramento. During the question-and-answer session, I asked if there was a linguistic student in the room who could teach me how Americans pronounce epitome because, having been schooled in England, I pronounce it in British English.
To my shock, and you can again fact-check me, I discovered that Cal State University declared Languages and Linguistics an obsolete course in 1996.
I was stunned, so questions were asked. It turns out there is nothing you can learn about Languages and Linguistics for four years that you can't get from an AI in a few seconds.
You do not have to like or even understand AI to know that it is perhaps the most critical human discovery after fire, penicillin, DNA and the Internet. If you want to summarise AI in one word, that term would be disruptor.
Almost any course of study involving agriculture is very relevant and will continue to be relevant way into the future. AI can only make agriculture better. It can't replace it. So, study agriculture and disciplines up and down the agricultural value chain.
I am not sure about architecture. Criminology as a discipline is fairly okay. But when thousands of people graduate in that area annually, you don't need AI to make it unviable. That course is so specialised that once people read it in large numbers, the competition outweighs the competency.
If my child comes to inform me that they want to study philosophy, I suspect I may start shedding tears. Tufiakwa! Bricklaying is more relevant today than philosophy.
Courses like political science, sociology, philosophy, religious studies, conflict resolution, library science, public administration, classics, religious studies, and anthropology are not skills. They are just academic information that is becoming less relevant to the world of 2025 and beyond, where AI exists and is getting better.
The four or more years you would have spent on these courses is 6% of your life. That is too much time to devote to a discipline time is leaving behind.
Go to university to read
Agriculture
Anatomy
Banking and Finance
Business
Cybersecurity
Dentistry
Economics
Education
Engineering (all kinds)
Geology
Geophysics
Marketing
Mathematics
Nursing
Optometry
Pharmacy
Psychology/Psychiatry
And STEM degrees.
While this is not an exhaustive list, these are nonetheless relevant degree courses which are up to tomorrow. From a cost-benefit analysis point of view, they offer the best successful outcomes against time and money spent.
If I have ruffled your feathers, do not be too upset. That's what I do. I ruffle people with the inconvenient truth.

@renoomokri Point of correction, Lagos have not been paying #70,000 minimum wage. They only add 35,000 wage award dat makes the least working to earn up to that. It doesn't reflect on other allowance for any senior staff as it should be in a normal minimum wage.
Very informative coming from the TUC chairman FESTUS OSIFO..
I enjoyed it from start to finish.
This is what is expecting of the nonsense NLC lead by the political exposed Joe AJaero ..
It’s 36 minutes ✌️😂😂
The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.
Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.
To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
Much appreciated, @US_FDA!
@channelstv So Atiku want them to spend 2years to award a contract and spend 15years to build it, the same way you pp drag the development of this country for 15years of PDP with nothing to show for it. Been an opposition should not take away ur sense of reasoning pls.
