This youngster, Don Anele Munachimso Marvelous, was the best Chemistry student in Nigeria in IGCSE. He won the ₦5 million star prize as the best in the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad. He also took first position in the country at the National Mathematics competition in Abuja.

He also won a $100k scholarship in Canada.

He will compete with students from 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this Saturday.

He is a genius, and the world will know him.

Dear men,

It impresses upon my soul to write to you.

This writing is inspired by my consumption of a lot of Diogenes' work but one quote of his that massively influenced my value system, reads:

"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little".

It imprinted upon my soul for a long time, especially as someone that's ambitious.

Friends, verily I say unto you:

Ambition is good but nothing is more frustrating to a man that for him to exist at the edge of a precipice where there are more factors out of his control, than within his control.

Endless chase in ambition without a defined scope is outside your control & with every season you have a new high to chase without a moment to enjoy where you are.

It becomes easy to discard your present as a valley as you glare at a new high, forgetting that your current valley used to be a mountaintop you aspired to.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, have a number in mind. Especially as an ambitious person, have a number in mind.

The endless pursuit of ambition will leave you with a hollow soul. It will strip you of the beauty of momentary happiness, satisfaction of wins & incredible undervaluation of how far you've come.

As a young hustling man, it is important that you define what happiness and success looks like for you, and to do so early on.

The ultimate question now becomes:
Are you in control of your dreams? Or are your dreams in control of you?

The answer to this question is a predictor of your future happiness or lack thereof.

I hope my writing found you well.

As you were.

By the way, this is why I rate Obafemi Awolowo over Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Awolowo definitely wasn't a Pan-Africanist, but even as a Yoruba tribalist, he at least believed in the sovereignty and well-being of his Yoruba people. He would never have been caught dead publicly elevating any oyibo person over his Yoruba people in this manner.

Azikiwe on the other hand, pretended to be a Pan-Africanist and used the language of anti-imperialism, while standing for absolutely nothing. At best, he was a great speech maker and nothing more.

Nkrumah was supposedly his protegé before returning to Ghana, but compared to Nkrumah's legacy, he might as well not even exist. Every Ghanaian alive cannot go through 1 day without interacting with something Nkrumah did for Ghana. The only thing Azikiwe is known for is that his picture is on our money and his name is on the Abuja airport.

A complete waste of political potential and a big part of the reason why Nigeria was so easy to destabilise.

Morty: Capitalism gives everyone a chance to get rich if they just work hard enough.

Rick: Oh my god, Morty! Capitalism doesn't work if everyone wins. It needs poverty to function. Someone has to take the low-paying jobs so the profits keep flowing upward. If everyone had real financial security, no one would take those positions and the system would collapse.

Morty: But Rick, that's just how the market works. Some people earn more because they provide more value.

Rick: Tell that to the kid assembling your iPhone overseas for pennies while some CEO makes millions off it. Capitalism doesn't reward work, it rewards ownership. You don't climb the ladder by working hard, you climb it by owning the ladder. The workers collectively produce infinitely more value than some shareholder living in the Bahamas.

Morty: Okay, but isn't it about freedom People can still move up if they make good choices. Look at people who came from nothing and became successful, like entrepreneurs or celebrities.

Rick: Those are exceptions, idiot. That's why they're on TV. For every one person who makes it out, millions stay stuck because they never had the same luck, connections, or safety nets. The system needs those stories so people believe it's fair.

When you say you don't drink, everyone insists you have one.

When you say you don't eat meat, everyone tries to feed you steak.

But say you're broke...

and suddenly no one offers anything.

[Maxvayshia™ @maxvayshia]

Just be patient. Your gender has a lot of “how did we get here?” to ask in future. Una never see anything yet.

Happy birthday, Jurrien! 🥳

To qualify as being a good person requires that you apply wisdom, so you don’t cast pearls before swine.

There is a thin line between benevolence and foolishness. Wisdom that comes with knowledge, helps draw that line.

Benevolence without wisdom doesn’t help anyone.

there’s no moon tonight, wtf am I supposed to howl at now?

An entire toilet paper display fell on me the other day.

The Doctor say's I'll be ok though because its just soft tissue damage

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Look at the court proceedings.

It breaks my heart that a murder case brought before the court was withdrawn following a letter from the IGP.

Since July 12th 2025, when Kingsley Nebo hired assassins for ₦1 million to murder 25 years old student Sochima Onoh, his family has been in so much pain and anguish.

Sochima’s mother hearing this has been broken even further.

This cannot be Nigeria.

[Lukas Not Podolski @OtitoNosike]

We cannot discuss the odogwufication of the average Nigerian man without discussing the society that elevates him the moment he acquires even the appearance of wealth. A society that places a higher premium on money than labour has little standing to condemn the man who begins to see himself as an Odogwu the instant fortune smiles upon him. After all, he is merely responding to the values society chooses to reward.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Elections are coming and this is one of the British state's contributions to keeping Nigerians plugged into the deliberately-inflamed electoral merry-go-round.

If they can successfully ignite a rhetorical 'dumb blackie vs indoctrinated blackie vs poor blackie' social media civil war, they know the blackies will all be too busy fighting each other or trying to put out the fire to have the actual conversation that matters - that Nigeria needs total societal upheaval and physical rebellion to uproot their puppets who are never going to relinquish power through an 'election'.

The only meaningful response is to completely blank it and refuse to give it airtime.

Because after you saw this same BBC openly publish an article claiming that "Chicago State University certified that Tinubu’s certificate is not a forgery" - when literally THE EXACT OPPOSITE is what happened, why on earth are you still allowing it have access to your eyes and ears?

Is it BDSM that is worrying you people? Why don't you see what is so obvious in front of you?
