One of the reasons I share almost everything we're doing in the South East is simple:
I want you to copy it.
If a strategy gets more children learning, gets more students excited about STEM, raises academic standards, or inspires excellence, don't admire it from afar or criticize Alex. Replicate it in your region. Improve it. Scale it.
Africa has spent too much time protecting ideas instead of spreading what works.
I don't want the South East to be the exception. I want it to become the template for Africa civilization.
Imagine every region in Nigeria building its own Olympiads, ranking schools, training teachers, identifying talent, and making education a public movement.
Imagine every African country adapting the same ideas to fit their own realities.
That's how continents change.
Education is Africa's greatest opportunity. If something works, copy it.
China just unveiled an AI blackboard at their World AI Conference. Kids learning to build with AI in real time.
Meanwhile American schools are still debating whether students should be allowed to touch it.
One country is training builders. The other is training hiders.
Come back in ten years and tell me which approach produced better engineers.
Good evening Followers, Friends and Family,
A few days ago I got a heartbreaking DM from one of my cracked Gunner who fought with me around Damboa, Wajiroko and Sabongari axis Borno State. There was an attack on our location last year May 22nd, RPG bomb was launched at his Camel MRAP by BHT and it came directly to his Gun turret which resulted to him losing an Arm (Hand 🫱🏿) with severe burns on his body 💔. The youngman is presently receiving care at 44 NA Reference Hospital Kaduna but needs all the support he can get at this moment.
Today, I respectfully appeal to every compassionate individual to support this Soldier who has sacrificed so much in service to our Nation 🇳🇬. His courage and sacrifice helped protect lives and preserve peace. The injuries he sustained have left him facing daily physical, emotional and financial challenges. Now, he needs our collective support to meet essential needs and live with dignity. Please find attached screenshots of my discussion with him.
KINDLY SEND A DM TO SUPPORT HIM WITH WHATEVER YOU CAN 👏🏿👏🏿 #Sentinel #ThankASoldier
News that Baga and been recaptured.
And that slogan #NeverAgain was from the then Col Eyitayo.
And immediately they announced the president is coming, from my Gun forming all round defense I thought something is happening I had to scan everywhere again.
Then I ask, they said the president is coming.
I said to myself today? Either by crook or by hook I must see the president's face 😁
Immediately he was landing I called someone to man my gun and jumped down, and it wasn't real to me, like seeing the CinC in person?
Funny enough in few weeks he was in Maiduguri again this time I was shit and already in 7 Div hospital... Man came to pay us condolence visit.
The urge to continue fighting manned in confidence came in immediately. And low and behold they ask a BN to remain and we proceed with Abu-Ali to go and recapture Kangarwa and then Mallam-Fatori before coming back to Maiduguri for other operations.
And before leaving the COAS pronounced everybody d*and or alive who took part in that operation be giving one step ahead (Special Promotion)
Heaven was almost falling, God almost showed his true self in human form that day.
The Joy, the drama, the anguish and everything.
Rest in peace 🕊️ to those we lost during that operation. Some really painful lost right there mehn 💔
We have no other country than Nigeria
Nigeria shall succeed.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Men saw things and things saw men.

Damn ...
Bringing back so many bitter sweet memories.
This very Operation still remain the reason why Nigeria is still standing strong today when it comes to fighting Terrorists across Nigeria.
We never knew the extent at which the terrorists are so close to capturing Maiduguri at large, until we started that operation.
That was the first Operation with late Col Abu-Ali and I can tell you he was the reason for that successful season.
Majority of the troops morale has already been dampened and virtually everyone are not ready to fight anymore.
They believe people are sabotaging their efforts in frontline.
But the appointment of then Maj Gen Lamidi Adeosun brought some sigh of relief and fresh air across all locations.
The only viable location BHTs haven't captured them was only Konduga and Biu, even at that Konduga was on the verge. Because the volume of attacks in that location then was crazy.
That period the President postponed the Election by 6 weeks and ask the whole locations be recapturd back.
Most importantly Baga, because the news of BHTs capturing Baga went viral and it was their biggest of operation.
The task to go and recapture it back was one hell of a difficult task.
But unknown to us when you have a man capable of doing virtually everything in then Maj Abu-Ali, then everything is as good as done.
We saw a petit man with overall and those at the back could not even see his rank properly and thought it was a random person like CJTF 😁
But with General Adeosun Al's listening carefully, I was curious to know who's this.
He introduced himself and I was like ah a Major? This small? But the definition of small but mighty is truly him.
Immediately he said " Gentlemen I will lead from the front and everyone should follow me behind. I will do 95% of the job you people should do just 5% by clearing/capturing the one running for their lives.
Morale was high again, at that point I wanted running immediately to go and man my Gun. But last address from the GOC again.
I immediately knew this Operation will be successful in my head I was already planning.
Because the amount of ammunition they brought for us, I have never seen it in my life. We can fight for good 3 months without requesting for more, but unfortunately the number of obstacles we met on our way those ammunitions finished in 2 weeks.
These terrorists already manned very close to Maiduguri, like imagine fighting from Tungushe until we entered Monguno, it was that close.
Fee KM to Monguno these people ambushed with various tanks and the volume of fire can confuse your enemies to pray for you, it was so deadly.
We saw some crazy things after capturing Monguno, imagine they turned the QG to their own colour and inside the hospital they have their patients there receiving treatment.
They never thought anybody will breakthrough and enter that Monguno, to tell you how prepared they are.
Then the toughest of task came, proceeding to recapture Baga.
Moving from Monguno. Yoyo. Mile90. Kekeno and getting close Kuros, that was when the biggest of shock hit us, firing from all angles and at a point the tank seized and from my Gun I couldn't hear any of his explosion.
What's happening? That was I respected them Col Eyitayo. Man stood his ground calling for calm, we never knew Maj Abu-Ali has fainted inside the tank, after almost 20 minutes we heard his shot again. See the joy and morale again in everyone's face.
We enter Baga and that was where they nicknamed him and that T72 tank Dodo.
Because they were ruthless and resilient there, and the ambush was crazy, Abu-Ali will just zoomed from his tank and release, the bomb will melt and destroyed everything there.
Immediately we captured Baga, it was like a task almost impossible to achieve.
The then COAS Lt Gen KTJ Minimah and CDS Alex Badeh came within few minutes, like they were all waiting just to hear the good /1
I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.
One thing became clear:
Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.
Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.
This isn't about politics.
It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.
I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.
Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.
If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

With so many things now revealing and I was sitting down reflecting about so many things and now I think it's crystal clear now ...
Why it's almost impossible to enter Alagarno and some strategic locations around Borno state.
The first time we ever stepped inside Alagarno in 2015, the Chadians captured Damasak and we went through Alagarno, just few hours to recapture Alagarno, something happened ...
Best know to those at helm of affairs.
I was hearing some sound and the sound doesn't sound like any operational one.
Because the volume of fire even before getting close was one hell of a fire.
And I noticed something crazy, most of our best hands, like men you can always count on no matter the situation.
They all went down, it was after the operation I noticed they were all shot in the head.
How can majority of our Gunners shot in the head? So many thoughts running through my head.
At that point I knew capturing that place wil be a very very difficult task.
But why withdraw when we are almost capturing the location?
It was after pulling out , they told us we should proceed to Damasak, that the Chadians are there they captured the location.
Like I know the Chadians very well and what they are capable of ...
Who called that they captured the location? 1+1 isn't 2 at that moment in my head.
Okay, we have no option that to obey the last order.
This is Army 🪖
The movement started, few KM to Damasak as usual, you should expect the unexpected.
Ambush, for hours they pinned us down, but protecting the sovereignty f our dear nation is out utmost priority.
We have no other country other than NIGERIA. protecting it isn't an option but a must.
But one thing running through my mind is to go back to that Alagarno, my close buddies who lost their lives still hurt.
It was that anger we took to Damasak.
Luckily they ask us to go back to Alagarno after entering Damasak, another BN should be holding ground.
I think that should be okenof the deadliest of attacks, just like 2km to enter, they stationed several tanks and others in strategic locations, to pin us down.
That duel lasted for almost 6 hours with the help of Air support later, we entered Alagarno.
What we saw inside the so called Terrorists Caliphate.
Only God can say, because its beyond my own imagination.
These terrorists are living large inside that place.
Even the prisoners don't drink sachet water, everything there is bottle water and we are busy fetching hit water out it inside Shekau fridge (local pot) to drink.
They have varieties of meat, Suya (barbecue).
At a pint I jumped down from my Gun, brought out my dagger and cut a very large part, told it back to my position for proper diet.
The bunkers of ammunitions and Money. The mercenaries (snipers and Doctors)
Immediately I saw the Arab guys I immediately knew the Snipers who picked out my fellow Gunners 💔
But in the end. Nigeria shall always win.
Men saw things and things saw Men.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

@EdwinAka@claudeai Claude does it for me, i spend time developing the framework and supporting documents and develop the prompt and it just does it excellently well. I am yet to see another AI agent do same without the insane hallucinations.
@claudeai@ClaudeDevs Even in the pro version, one's weekly limit will get exhausted in 3 days andi have to wait an excruciating 4-5days for the weekly useage to reset even when using Sonnet 5 medium.
@claudeai@ClaudeDevs how can i continue a process of a document development where after 10 mins of processing usage limit elapse just after 10 mins in a free user profile. So to process 1 document i have to wait through 10 circles within a 48hr cycle.
