There is also the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS - https://t.co/Tjgepiinju) here in Ghana. The main reason why Google set up their first African AI Lab here.
Education in Ghana is not just a big deal locally; it is also a massive industry that brings in FX.
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.

We are proud to share the appointment of Fola Fagbule as Director and Head of AFC’s Regional Office in Nairobi, marking a significant step in the Corporation's strategy to expand its presence across East and Central Africa.
The year is 2006. Venue is Ntabo, Ijoko.
S.S 2 students beheaded their classmate, a rival gang member - then delivered the head to his mother as 'aroko'.
If you've witnessed real violence, you will hate it and the people who clamor for it.
You will hate it.
The diaspora is not treating investment like charity. It is literally replacing the state. That $100 billion is not going to consumption out of a lack of financial vision. It is keeping families alive because African governments have abdicated every responsibility they were supposed to carry. School fees, hospital bills, housing, food: the diaspora is subsidising what governance failed to provide, mostly while barely surviving themselves in expensive cities abroad.
In the middle of a world lockdown, with Italy at the peak of the first wave,
the Pope chose to pray in front of a completely empty square. The pouring rain and the blue light of the twilight created an almost cinematic and deeply melancholy image, symbol of loneliness and fear that the whole world was living.
The image of the Pope, limping and drenched in the rain, walking alone to the sanctum of a deserted basilica, has become the very icon of 2020.
It was a gesture of radical empathy: the head of one of the world's largest institutions was showing himself vulnerable and "in the rain" just like the rest of humanity.

The first thing Singapore did was to educate its people.
This journey is not even going to be long.
Nigerians are already very smart people.
Give quality primary and secondary education.
Bring in companies that can employ thousands of people.
Set them up in several states. See this mining situation. Get a hold of it and make it a very formal sector.
Allow the people who want to sell Akara and other things access to soft loans. Create a structure with every bank to help them be accountable. Like a credit score.
Fix electricity.
If it’s too hard to change all the lines, create solar plants for different clusters while you take a few years to fix power lines to be efficient.
Step by step, country will be better.
I don’t know why we don’t have a leader that wants to do this.
It’s not rocket science.
