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?
In Ghana, any child who qualifies to represent the country in the International Maths Olympiad gets an automatic scholarship to MIT.
Interestingly, the head of their local Olympiad unit is a Nigerian. He left Nigeria the moment the Nigerian government stopped sponsoring our students for the program.
MIT students regularly travel to Ghana to prepare their students for the Olympiad.
It is also a huge talent pipeline for a company called Jane Street. They are the major sponsor for Ghana Maths Olympiad. Their starting salary is between $300k - $600k annually.
9ja millionaires are paying this bro $20k - $30k to pretend that he ran into them on the street and request for an interview
Dangote flew him into the country because he needed some eye balls on his upcoming public offering
And after the video was posted, every rich person in the country wants an interview
Nothing bad about that but it’s irks me that they have to pretend he ran into them on the street.
"Everything is agendified".
In a world where literally the food you eat and the type of sex you enjoy is either heavily influenced or directly determined by rich people on another continent who own all the means of production including GMO patents and Pornhub.
The problem with a lot of you is that your minds are far too small to comprehend the size of trouble you are in.
You know nothing about the world you live in. You just exist mindlessly inside it. Like vegetation or shellfish.
This math teacher, Anthony Iwegbu, walked up to me today to tell me that he is the first in his lineage to have gone abroad. He said that bringing him to Rome, all expenses paid, will change his life forever as a teacher.
At first I didn’t believe it, but I’m happy that his effort as a teacher has made that possible for him.
I really love to see our teachers excel. They have been neglected for so long.
When I got to Rome this morning, I was presented with this beautiful certificate.
The Romans are happy that we came to compete.
The world will celebrate our superstars.
So you thought SDC was lying?
Two groups of two grown men each, one made of two OGs, one of whom used to work in banking. The other group has a muscled man with beard, playing drums while passionately singing falsetto.
They told you, “No Love In Lagos.”
You still doubt am.
Interestingly, one of the worst things about the Nigerian character - bloviating, buffoonish overconfidence - is also a superpower that sets Nigerians apart when it is intentionally harnessed and channelled correctly.
Whenever Nigerians (born and raised in Nigeria) learn how to combine their social confidence with actual intellectual substance and a good amount of self awareness, the world will have a serious problem on its hands.
I believe in my people🙏🏿
