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!
There is a false tribal narrative being circulated claiming that we dropped a Yoruba child to replace him with an Igbo child for the International STEM Olympiad in Rome.
That claim is completely false.
This is the full live stream of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale, where the winners emerged. Our selection process was conducted publicly because we believe transparency is the best way to protect integrity.
We deliberately stream our competitions live so everyone can see how winners are determined. Our goal is simple: ensure that the right children win based on merit, not ethnicity, religion, connections or influence.
We are building a generation that believes hard work is rewarded. Merit is not negotiable.

Nigeria's children deserve better than tribal propaganda. They deserve fairness.

Accountable Borrowing: The South Africa Example.
I have consistently maintained that borrowing, in itself, is not a bad thing. Every nation borrows. The critical issue is not the act of borrowing, but what the borrowed funds are used for and whether citizens can clearly see and measure the impact of such borrowing in their daily lives.
There is a lot to learn in the open and transparent manner in which South Africa handled its recently secured a $1 billion loan from the New Development Bank, with a clearly defined purpose. Publicly announcing the targeted purpose of the loan for all to know and monitor, upgrading water supply systems, modernising sanitation infrastructure, improving electricity distribution, and strengthening waste management services across eight major metropolitan cities, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
This is indeed what accountable borrowing should look like; the purpose is clear, the projects are identifiable, and the expected benefits to citizens are measurable. Such investments directly improve living conditions, enhance productivity, and stimulate economic growth.
In Nigeria, however, the opposite is the case: public debt has risen dramatically under the current administration, and its deployment is shrouded in secrecy from the people who will indeed pay back the loan. Today, our total public debt has increased from about ₦87 trillion in 2023 to nearly ₦200 trillion.
Yet, despite this unprecedented accumulation of debt, Nigerians are often left without a clear and detailed account of how these borrowings are being deployed to improve critical sectors such as education, healthcare, power, security, and infrastructure.
Borrowing must never become an end in itself. Every loan obtained in the name of the Nigerian people must be tied to specific, productive investments capable of generating economic value, creating jobs, reducing poverty, and improving the welfare of citizens.
Good governance demands transparency and accountability. The government must be able to clearly explain what was borrowed, where it was invested, and what measurable outcomes have been achieved. The ordinary Nigerian should be able to see and feel the benefits of every debt incurred on their behalf.
At a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling with rising costs of living, unemployment, insecurity, and declining purchasing power, fiscal discipline and prudent management of public resources are no longer optional; they are imperative.
Every borrowing decision should answer one simple question: How does this improve the life of the ordinary Nigerian? If that question cannot be convincingly answered, then we risk merely transferring today's burdens to future generations.

Rufai Oseni: Did you have a message for those who, no matter what you say, will never say, “Let me give this man a chance”?
Mr. Peter Obi: I am appealing to them, for the sake of their own grandchildren, let’s build a society. Some of them might think they have made enough money. I want to give young Nigerians the opportunity God gave me back then.
People of my age today are ste@ling what they don’t need—how long will they live?
I bought my first brand-new car in 1981 for ₦2,700 and later bought a brand-new 505 SR for ₦7,200. I used to trade in Nigeria and travel to London every weekend. I used to enter Nigeria airways flight from Lagos to New York then was about 155 for a ticket.
Today is exactly one month since Borno & Oyo State schoolchildren were kidnapped! ONE WHOLE MONTH, & our children are not back!
They are eighty-one in number, including seven teachers. We lost a teacher in a beheading.
From public outcry to street protests. Then we move on. Please we shouldn’t forget them.
It’s the rainy season in Nigeria, they must be cold. There are mosquitoes, their immune system is not that strong. Then there is acute malnutrition otherwise called kwashiorkor.
There are waterborne diseases as well.
Diarrhea, malaria, acute malnutrition, etc. The children are dealing with all of these elements. Then there is the human factor — trauma in the form of constant trepidation. My paranoia is justified! They risk becoming child brides. Child marriage is not a thing to sweep under the rug.
Who is going to give them the closure they so desperately need? Closure is a psychological support to move on & achieve your life dreams.
I’m sure they have a bucket list, goals or things they want to achieve during their lifetime. I’m sure we have engineers, doctors, teachers, nurses, pilots, architects, etc among them.
This is their formative years. They shouldn’t miss out on a sheltered life; the promise of a better tomorrow. We shouldn’t forget them!
They stay in the bush so that politicians can soirée & party harder. Nigeria is the father that abandoned his children. Please remember them today & say a prayer for them. They remind us that Nigeria is a country of particular concern.
This is heartbreaking. This is solidarity. Children are praying for their friends to be rescued. A mother who is a teacher is crying for help. The significance of “May 15” is not lost on us.
They are our children dealing with adult problems. They shouldn’t become part of an ongoing statistics. I am only pleading.
At this point? Your silence will fail the children. PLEASE LEND YOUR VOICE TO THIS. 💔🙏
FACT CHECK: Former Edo State Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, recently claimed that Peter Obi could not control the Bakassi Boys and that Anambra became safer only after Governor Willie Obiano took over.
But what do the records show?
First, the Bakassi Boys did not originate under Peter Obi. The Bakassi Boys emerged around 1999–2000 and became prominent during earlier administrations in the South-East, years before Peter Obi became Governor of Anambra in 2006. Historical records show that the group was already active long before Obi entered office.
Second, the claim that Anambra was unsafe under Peter Obi contradicts official statements made by the Nigeria Police Force at the time. In April 2014, then Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Abubakar publicly declared that Anambra had remained the safest state in Nigeria during the previous five years. He specifically noted that there had been no bank robbery in the state during that period and praised the cooperation between Peter Obi's administration and security agencies.
Third, even Governor Willie Obiano, who succeeded Peter Obi in 2014, inherited a state that security agencies had already ranked among the safest in the country. While Obiano later restructured and formalized the vigilante architecture into the Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG), the security foundation did not start with him.
Beyond security, Peter Obi's administration was widely recognized for prudent financial management, educational investments, healthcare improvements, and infrastructure planning. He was named Nigeria's Most Prudent Governor by ThisDay and received recognition from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for performance in healthcare and immunization.
This does not mean Peter Obi was a perfect governor. No governor is. But if we are going to debate his record, let us do so with facts, not political talking points.
Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!
This is disturbing, I can’t even sleep.
Tinubu is implementing — SAP 2.0, a program of the IMF. It will lead to premium tears.
Babangida tried it & it failed woefully.
In fact, it led to Anti-SAP Riots in 1989.
SAP caused the rapid depreciation of the Naira, inflation, widespread hunger, & cost of living crises. The protests forced IBB to call for the 1993 Presidential Election that produced MKO
BAT is implementing the same failed policies in 2026. SAP or (Structural Adjustment Program) is exploitative. It was carefully designed by the IMF & World Bank to ensnare developing nations into debt traps & neo-colonial reliance.
Chief MKO Abiola was fiercely against it.
He was vehemently against these Bretton Woods Institutions. Nigerians should know their History. “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Bola Tinubu is out to destroy Nigeria completely. You can read more here:

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT
A Celebration of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye
There comes a time when silence becomes ingratitude.
There comes a time when honour becomes a sacred duty.
There comes a time when sons and daughters must rise to celebrate the gifts that God has given to a generation.
This is such a time.
We refuse to be silent while men and women of eternal significance are reduced to headlines, controversies, and social media trends.
We refuse to stand by while those who have sacrificed decades in service to God and humanity are casually criticized by people who have built nothing, fathered nobody, planted no churches, and transformed no nations.
The sons and daughters of prophets must never be silent while cheap publicity seekers use great men as instruments for attention.
A generation that does not honour its fathers has no future.
A people who cannot recognize greatness in their midst will eventually suffer the tragedy of its absence.
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is not merely a church leader.
He is not merely a denomination head.
He is not merely a respected minister.
He is one of the most significant Christian leaders of our generation and one of the greatest spiritual gifts God has given to Africa and the global Church.
We should never allow a man who chose humility to become the chewing stick of the uninformed.
We should never permit the noise of critics to drown out the voice of history.
We should never watch while modern-day Sauls seek to intimidate, discredit, or silence God's servants.
Scripture records how King Saul pursued David.
Scripture records how Doeg the Edomite became an instrument of destruction against the priests of God.
Throughout history, political power has often sought to suppress prophetic voices.
Yet God has always preserved His servants and vindicated His purpose.
The Church must never become indifferent when its fathers are unfairly attacked.
Nor should we wait until our prophets cross into eternity before we begin to celebrate them.
Too often, flowers are sent to funerals when they should have been delivered while the recipient was still alive.
Family Drama…
Parents, gather here. I need legal advice.
For a while, I kept seeing people refer to my first son’s posts.
So one day, I decided to visit Oga’s page and see what the young man had been posting.
Only to discover…
I was BLOCKED.
Not unfollowed.
Not muted.
Blocked!!!
As in, “Access Denied.”
Me.
His father.
Blocked without due process.
Blocked without a hearing.
Blocked without a righty for appeal.
I stared at my phone for a few seconds.
Maybe it was a network issue.
Maybe Elon Musk was updating X.
Maybe there was….
There wasn’t anything. 😂
I immediately called him.
“Oga, why did you block me?”
The young man answered so calmly as if he had blocked NEPA and not his father that I became even more annoyed.
“Dad, I need my freeness of speech.”
The confidence in his voice shocked me.
I said, “What kind of freedom of speech, abi “freeness of speech” requires blocking your father?”
He then explained that he wanted a place where he could express himself freely without worrying that his father was reading everything.
I said, “So helping you grow up, I have now become a threat to democracy or DSS or FBI?”
The boy laughed.
I didn’t.
😂😂😂
Then reality struck me.
The young man now lives on his own.
Pays his own rent.
Pays his own bills.
Buys his own groceries.
In other words, the sponsorship package has expired. The Constitution of Independent Adult Children is now in force.
At that moment, I knew the balance of power had shifted. I know understand how those people in government feels when they leave office.
I quietly ended the call and accepted my fate.
Still, I think there should be a law against children blocking their parents on social media.
What do you think? Someone should help me, this is not fair.
Is Oga right, or should parents be granted permanent viewing rights under the Family Constitution? 😂
One of my favourite pastor out of Nigeria is Rev. Sam Adeyemi.
He literally has the human, logistical and material capability to expand the Daystar Christian Centre all over Nigeria and the developed world; but he stayed put on the conviction of God over his calling.
Success in ministry to him is not local/international expansion, rather it is doing what God has called him to do.
I believe there are other pastors God will want to commit and feed a local church faithfully, but covetousness to copy another pastor with another calling will not allow them to obey God.
