@Chinayduu@General_Somto This is unfortunately the new Nigeria we are building. When the right things aren't done, the young ones will learn the wrong things and become hardened. The boy is 100% right in his thoughts but wrong in all forms. The society has shaped his thoughts ๐ค.
Good luck to Nigeria.
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the mega city that Tinubu discovered and built.
Shebi una want coastal road, una eye go cee shege. Make crocodile no chop person.
Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the โOlodo uprisingโ debate, hereโs a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
Itโs my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.
This is so sad ๐๐
DNA test results have conclusively identified a previously unidentified body at the Ikorodu General Hospital mortuary as that of Pelumi Emmanuel Onifade, the 20-year-old journalist k!!lled while covering the #EndSARS protests in October 2020.
Onifade, an intern reporter with Lagos-based Gboah TV and a 200-level History student at Tai Solarin University of Education, was on assignment in the Abule Egba/Agege area on October 24, 2020.
While covering the protests, he filmed a video that captured the President of the Yoruba Youth Forum, Olusegun Abiodun Bolarinwa, shooting into a crowd of unarmed protesters. The footage quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage.
Shortly after, Onifade was reportedly shot and arrested by officers attached to the Lagos State Task Force. His body was later found at the Ikorodu mortuary, tagged as No. 1385, but remained unidentified for years due to forensic challenges, including the destruction of DNA samples at the state's forensic centre during the protests.
Recent DNA matching between samples from the body and Onifade's parents, conducted by the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, has now confirmed his identity in the ongoing coroner's inquest.
Onifade's viral video documented a critical moment during the #EndSARS demonstrations against police brutality. Eyewitness accounts indicate that after the footage surfaced, he and a colleague were targeted.
His family searched for him for days before locating what they believed to be his remains at the mortuary, where a gunshot wound was observed.
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Educationโs inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
Itโs a big shame for Nigeria.
25,000 students have now registered for the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.
Boys: 11,570
Girls: 13,430
State Breakdown
Imo - 7,819
Enugu - 5,813
Abia - 5,178
Ebonyi - 4,438
Anambra - 1,752
This is becoming one of the largest academic competitions on the African continent.
What excites me most is not the numbers.
It's the fact that 25,000 young minds voluntarily signed up to challenge themselves in mathematics, problem-solving, critical thinking, and discipline.
While others are investing in consumption, we are investing in human capital.
The future of any society is determined by the quality of its children.
If we consistently identify, train, challenge, and support these students over the next 10 years, the South East can produce one of the most skilled workforces in Africa.
Today's Olympiad participants are tomorrow's engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, researchers, innovators, and nation-builders.
This is bigger than a competition.
It is a workforce development project for the future of Africa.
History made: Helen Ogbu, an Igbo woman from Imo State, has been elected Mayor of Galway, Ireland.
She's the first migrant ever to hold the office. ๐ฎ๐ช๐๐พ
32 Days after the abduction of 39 school children and teachers in Oyo State, the abducted kids and teachers are still in bandit captivity. ๐๐๐
Nigerians, today makes it 32 Days for Christโs sake. ๐
These are innocent children, they went to school to learn, not to be taken away and held in captivity.
Their parents have not held them, their families have not seen them, and every single day feels like a nightmare they cannot wake up from.
Oyo state government, what exactly is delaying the rescue of these children and teachers??
What happened to the 1,000 forest guards the president asked to be recruited, when are they going to start searching for these kids ๐
Stop playing politics with the lives of innocent kids ๐
Nigerians please, do not scroll past this.
Retweet it, talk about it, it costs you absolutely nothing to spread this, but your voice could help keep this from being forgotten.
32 Days is too long, bring them home. ๐๐๐พ
