Chisom Unachukwu and Anthony Iwegbu, the teachers who helped their students conquer the world at the STEM Mathematics Olympiad in Rome.
Let's retweet to celebrate them! 👏

Kids from Nigeria participated in the STEM Olympiad, a prestigious global competition that tests the knowledge of kids in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, in Rome. They stayed for days.
Yet, Nigeria’s Ministry of Education or the Nigerian government didn't deem it fit or find the convenience to recognize them or give them support.✍️
Four Nigerian teenage girls have developed a generator capable of producing six hours of electricity from just one liter of urine.
The system functions by isolating hydrogen from urine and using it to run the generator.
This creation is both affordable and environmentally friendly, providing a sustainable energy option for regions with unreliable power supply.
Their breakthrough demonstrates how innovation, scientific knowledge, and perseverance can transform waste into a valuable resource, showing that the next big energy solution could emerge from the most unlikely sources.
If you are leading your people well:
1. You won't need to remove roads during elections.
2. You won't need to have 100 cars for escorts.
3. You won't need to be in Abuja fully, as a senator or rep, but rather stay in your consistency.
4. You won't need to share bread
5. You won't need to ask people to sell Akara
A lot of things!
I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.
I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.
I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.
I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.
My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦♂️
At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.
Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.
At just 17, Igbo tech prodigy Okechukwu Nwaozor is already making waves in the AI space.
He founded OkeyMeta at 15 and went on to develop OkeyAI, a generative AI platform capable of processing text, images, and code.
Over 8,000 developers are already using OkeyAI, highlighting its growing adoption within the tech community.
A self-taught programmer, Okechukwu represents a new generation of African innovators building technology tailored to African realities, from healthcare and agriculture to local languages and digital accessibility.
His story is fueling conversations about youth innovation, homegrown technology, and the future of AI in Africa.
Nigerian woman Habibat Salawudeen has finished a 144-hour Bible reading marathon in an effort to set a new Guinness World Record.
The six-day challenge, known as “144 Hours in the Word,” started on June 22 at the Novotel in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and concluded on June 29.
During the attempt, she read the Holy Bible aloud while strictly adhering to Guinness World Records rules, which permit only short rest periods.
Her effort is now pending official ratification from Guinness World Records.
The feat has received strong backing from Nigerians, many of whom have commended her faith, discipline, and endurance.
We have to pay tribute to the great Luka Modrić.
At 40 years old, he has played his final ever World Cup game for Croatia. It has been an absolute joy watching him play football on the biggest stage of all — the elegance, the control, the intelligence, the class.
One of the greatest midfielders this game has ever seen. 🇭🇷
His name is Egejurum Onyedikachi, and he is a genius.
Let that sink in.
He is in Primary 6 but does wonders with mathematics that make SS3 students tremble.
The world will know him and celebrate him.
He is currently with me in Rome to challenge champions from other countries this Saturday.

When you're raised by a widow:
"Ikenna, this is not what your father will be proud of. Stop that nonsense"
"Titilayo, don't bring shame to your father".
When you're raised by a single mother:
"Ikenna, It's this nonsense behavior that your useless father was doing"
"Titilayo, what is your boyfriend even doing for you?"
End.
The 3 wise men from the East are set to head to Rome: Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Egejurum Onyedikachi, and Don Anele Munachimso.
Their assignment is simple: bring back the gold.
They will be competing with 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this week.
Since Nigeria couldn’t qualify for the World Cup, this will be our World Cup.
We have mistaken Christian vocabulary for Christian transformation. A man quotes Scripture… And we assume he knows GOD.
He speaks in “Christianese”…
And we conclude he is spiritual. He shares sermons…
Posts Bible verses… Says “Praise the LORD” after every sentence… And we never stop to ask the harder question: Who has discipled his mind?
Do not be too quick to measure a man’s spirituality by what he says when the subject is GOD. Almost everyone knows how to sound holy in Church.
The real examination begins when the subject is no longer spiritual. Listen to him discuss politics. Listen to him speak about money. Listen to him respond to injustice. Listen to him describe success. Listen to him talk about women. Listen to him address suffering. Listen to him speak when someone offends him. Listen to him discuss power, influence, ambition, and enemies.
That is where the true disciple is separated from the religious man. Because what governs a man is not discovered by how he quotes Scripture…
It is discovered by how he interprets life. The Pharisees quoted Moses… Yet crucified CHRIST.
Satan quoted Scripture… Yet remained the devil.
Knowing Bible verses has never been the evidence of possessing the Mind of CHRIST.
Brethren…
The Gospel did not come merely to change our language. It came to overthrow an entire way of thinking.
Until CHRIST becomes LORD over a man’s reasoning…
HE is not yet LORD over his life. Because the Lordship of CHRIST is not first revealed in what leaves your mouth during worship…
It is revealed in the Mind by which you interpret reality.
Many believers have biblical information… But worldly assumptions.
Biblical expressions… But carnal conclusions. Biblical terminology… But secular philosophies.
They speak like Zion… But they think like Babylon.
We have taught men how to sound like Christians…Without teaching them how to think like CHRIST.
So they enter the sanctuary speaking the language of Heaven… Then leave the building making decisions with the wisdom of the age.
The HOLY SPIRIT does not merely teach men what to say. HE teaches them how to see.
When CHRIST truly governs a heart… His Word becomes more than memory. It becomes instinct.
More than quotation. It becomes perception.
It becomes the very architecture of the man’s mind.
You no longer need to ask him for a Bible verse. His conclusions will already smell like Scripture.
His values will expose the Kingdom he belongs to.
His worldview will betray the Throne that governs him.
For the greatest evidence that JESUS is LORD over a man… Is not that he can speak about the Bible…
It is that he cannot think outside it.
