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 Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
@SadiqMaunde Minimum wage per Hour
In Nigeria is N397
I America N21,600
While an Hour wage in US will buy 3 bottles of Coke, Nigerian Hour wage cannot buy a bottle of Coke
**If you are kidnapped in Nigeria, you are completely on your own. No security agency will save you.
"My nephew was kidnapped while I was SA to Vice President Shettima. I knocked on every door, entered every office, and gave them the exact coordinates of the location. They promised to help but couldn't. We spent ₦175 Million, including ransom, before he was released after 36 days in captivity. The security agencies couldn't help." - Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, brother to Datti Baba-Ahmed
In 2 days, the Sterling Bank National Mathematics Quiz will go live for all Nigerian students.
Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, students from Primary 1 to SS3 across Nigeria will compete online for the prizes.
1st Prize – ₦500,000
2nd Prize – ₦300,000
3rd Prize – ₦200,000
That’s ₦1,000,000 in every quiz dedicated solely to rewarding academic excellence among Nigerian children.
But this is not just about winning money.
It is about building a culture where intelligence is celebrated.
It is about giving every child, whether in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Bayelsa, Maiduguri, Aba, or a remote village, an opportunity to compete on a national stage.
Competition Schedule
• Saturday
• 6:00 PM – 6:20 PM
• Online nationwide
The top performers will then advance to a live championship session streamed online next day same time, where Nigerians can watch some of the country’s brightest students solve challenging mathematical problems in real time.
To ensure fairness and give more students the opportunity to benefit, every student can only win once.
And here’s what makes it even better:
Every participant will be able to review their questions after the competition, identify their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the next challenge.
This means that even students who don’t win become better mathematicians.
Parents, teachers, school owners, and students should begin preparing immediately.
The questions will be tough and the competition will be fierce.
Registration is now open:

Please share this with every child, parent, teacher, school owner, principal, and education stakeholder you know.
Let’s make academic excellence prestigious again.
@TheoAbuAgada My problem with this guy is that he is not strategic in his articulates. While trying to defend or make a point, he ends up exposing his lack for emotional intelligence. Honestly, I plead that you rather not reply most of your critics cause it exposes you the more
