We’ve secured this facility for ISEE in Enugu.
It will be fully functional by the 2nd of November, 2026.
This will be our headquarters for the South East Maths and Science Olympiad and all other education interventions we embark on within the region.
Enugu is such a cool place to live in. I love this place so much, you just have get your money up to enjoy every bit of this city. From Trans ekulu to Ntachi, then Okpara square, the base landmark, toscana, Adig suites, Omu resort,Nike lake and many more places to explore. The only spoiler is housing. It is not cheap here.
Here is why it takes time to reach your goals - and how to get there FASTER.
In the US, a 30-year-old man may be going through his first divorce.
Which means that by 22, he could have married his high school sweetheart, bought a house with her and probably already has 3 kids.
In Nigeria, marrying at 22 is too early.
Because you are not “mature” enough.
Plus, where will you get wedding money?
But the 22-year-old American got his first job at 20, and can have a family at 22. His economy allows it.
Whereas a 30-year-old Nigerian may still be trying to figure out his life.
Here is where it gets nasty.
A 22-year-old American believes 22 is a ripe age.
A 30-year-old Nigerian man may think 22 is too early.
Which means it is neither late nor early. It depends on where you live, and the economy you operate under.
This is ONE EXAMPLE of how your life experience influences how you see the world.
And one of the wrongest thinking models to adopt is to assume a time constraint for things that don't actually have a time constraint.
Sometimes, you are assuming something should take long because of the effect your society has imposed on your mind.
Another example is a friend of mine who used to pay ₦2M a year as rent in Festac, Lagos.
He thinks paying ₦7M a year for a duplex is a waste, even though he can afford it.
When he moved to Canada, he paid the equivalent of ₦1.5M a month, and he paid for it for 6 months from his Nigerian business.
According to him, it was the cheapest rent he saw in Canada.
Which brings me to why I am writing this.
What can help you move through life FASTER is to stop assuming CONSTRAINTS that do not exist.
Example:
“22 is too early to marry.” (Lie. You just don't have the money or experience yet)
“₦7M is too much for rent.” (Lie. You just don't make that much yet)
You feel me? You are holding too strong to your beliefs as absolute truth when na just your world view, and nothing more.
The right mental model to have here is the Parkinson's Law, which states that: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”
Meaning: if you give yourself 7 days to do something that could take 2 hours, you will often find a way to spend 7 days doing it (eg: remember how you don't read until one week to exam - because you felt exam was far away)
To put this into perspective:
Humans once thought running a mile in under four minutes was basically impossible.
People would try it, get stressed, fail, and eventually accept that it couldn't be done.
Then, on May 6, 1954, British runner Roger Bannister pushed himself and ran the mile in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.
And funny enough, after he did it, other people started doing it too. Something people had struggled to achieve for years suddenly became normal.
The question is why? simple - Because the psychological constraint had been broken.
People now knew it was possible. So they attempted it, and because they attempted it - they made it happen.
It is the same with life.
Give a task less time and you force yourself to become more efficient.
So rather than assume that BUILDING A ₦50M-A-YEAR BUSINESS will take 10 years (we once did it in 6 months), and that you'll get there when you're what? 35? 45? 75?
Ask yourself:
How would I build this business in the next 2 years MAX?
If you give yourself 10 years, it may take 10 years.
If you give yourself 2, you will FIGURE OUT a way to do it in 2.
The shorter the time frame you impose on a plan, the faster you are forced to move towards it.
Sometimes, the problem isn't that your goal is far away. You just gave yourself too much time to get there. Someone your age, with the resources you have now - is doing it in less time.
PS: Not saying you should go and marry o, but you get the point (i hope)

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is 84 years old, while Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan is 82.
Both are highly respected senior figures in Christian ministry.
Both are Yoruba, although Cardinal Onaiyekan is originally from Kogi State.
Pastor Adeboye believes President Tinubu has done his absolute best for Nigeria and should not be pressured to "wear military armour" before Nigerians acknowledge his efforts.
On the other hand, Cardinal John Onaiyekan believes the President has not done enough to address the hardship and insecurity facing the country.
Both men live and carry out their ministries in Nigeria.
The same sun that shines on Pastor Adeboye also shines on Cardinal Onaiyekan.
The same rain that falls on Adeboye's roof also falls on Onaiyekan's.
Yet, despite living under the same conditions, their conclusions are completely different.
Nigeria, it is now left for you to decide whose assessment you find more convincing.
I am Ekene Aninze, Esq.
This young Nigerian built a $10 million automated shoe factory here in Nigeria while sourcing 90% of its leather from Kano.
I like to promote and celebrate Nigerians adding value to Nigeria.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

I've not seen it yet but I can bet my left testicle - someone somewhere is tweeting about Ycee's projected networth and how Peller is 20x richer than Ycee so Ycee is jealous.
I am sure.
A culturally bankrupt society whose source of validation comes from asslicking the wealthy.
No Ideological compass. No guiding principle. No strength. Just "I get money pass you".
A congregation of fools, from whence no progress is in sight.
You know why sane societies thrive out here? Because people don't fucking care what you have.
The concept of human dignity exists. Even the poor will stand tall in the face of the wealthy and battle opinion for opinion.
Phones are merely for calls. Cars are merely for transportation. Not status symbols.
Until the day you decentre ranking people and prioritising their opinions based on the depths of their pockets - you will always be bottom feeders.
Here's a letter King Leopold II of Belgium wrote to colonial Christian missionaries to the Congo in 1883.
It was exposed to the world by Moukouani Bukoko, born in the Congo in 1915. In 1935 he bought a second-hand Bible from a Belgian
priest who forgot the speech in the Bible.
I know most of you already saw this film years ago please rewatch for Alexx!
