I've seen Rinu make this statement a couple of times and I've seen Nigerian men attack her.

Without stuttering I tell you, your disagreement with the truth doesn't stop the truth from being the truth.

There is a rape culture in Nigeria. There is a degenerate culture that commonizes sexual assaults and mimizes the concept of consent.

It is prevalent and it is sickening.

Barely 24H ago, we saw a viral video of a man who thought it was within his rights, not only to pursue a stranger in love interest, but to slap her - on rejection. That is not a situational outlier.

It is common in schools, in the markets, at workplaces. It is not always aggressive, it is sometimes passive.

This unfortunate culture is platformed culturally and religiously. It is an entire conversation that we pretend doesn't exist until your men start going abroad to properly functioning justice systems.

The potential of a society to progress lies in its ability to confront boldly, it's dirty corners and address them draconically.

When the day comes to revisit false rape allegations, we will - as it stands today, the prevalent rape and sexual assault culture prevalent in Nigeria is our joint responsibility to condemn STRONGLY.

The wait is over.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

More good news.

Don Anele Munachimso also won gold in Science.

He is the best in world science.

Remember, he is the best in IGCSE Chemistry in Nigeria.

The investment is worth it.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Onyedikachi Egejurum got a Gold.

He is the best in Mathematics in the world Primary Category.

This is the beginning of greatness for the country.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Egejurum Onyedikachi shares his experience winning the gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Final in Rome.

He is the best in the world in the Mathematics Primary Category.

He is a genius.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Chimdiebube Onwubiko won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad.

He is just 13 years old and currently in JSS3. He has finished _Engineering Mathematics_ by K.A. Stroud.

He has now proven himself on the world stage.

These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.

They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.

These are the names I could copy:
Francis Adekunle

Friday Ikpe

Okay

This is the phone number of the notorious Officer Friday Ikpe 09136237110. I got it from his opay

There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly.

We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause.

Our education system has been deeply compromised.

A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous:

“You do not need competence to succeed.”

WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.”

And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear.

It won’t.

A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses.

This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from.

Not because Nigerians are not intelligent.
Not because our youths are lazy.
But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered.

The painful part is this:

UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum.

The difference is standards.

The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud.

The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized.

Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly.

And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price.

That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge.

That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient.

That compromised accountant may manage public funds.

That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again.

This is no longer just an education problem.

It is a national security problem.

Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely.

Singapore did it.
China did it.
Germany did it.
South Korea did it.

You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity.

Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent.
Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence.

And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence.

This fight is bigger than schools.

It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.

Three people just died of hantavirus on a Dutch cruise ship. The strain kills nearly 40% of the people it infects. And yet no virologist on earth is panicking about a pandemic, because the reason it stays small is one of the strangest rules in disease science.

The rule is simple. The deadlier a virus is, the harder it is to spread.

If a virus kills you in days, you can't ride a bus, board a plane, or even leave the hospital. You're in a bed or a body bag. Either way, the virus killed its only ride.

Hantavirus has been around for at least 70 years, but fewer than 1,000 Americans have ever caught it. The CDC says it kills 38% of those who do. The cruise ship strain, called Andes, kills closer to 40%. If hantavirus spread like COVID, it would kill billions. But it can't.

Most hantaviruses spread only one way. You breathe in tiny dust particles from rat or mouse pee, droppings, or spit. No mice in your house, no virus. The cruise ship is the rare exception, because the Andes strain can spread between people, but it usually needs close contact like spouses sharing a bed. A Johns Hopkins virologist called Andes spread "unbelievably rare."

Compare it to the viruses that scared the world. Ebola kills 60 to 90% of people, but only through bodily fluids and only late in the illness, so each patient passes it to fewer than 2 others. SARS killed 10% before being wiped out in 8 months. MERS killed 35% but never spread far beyond the Middle East. None of them became pandemics, because the spread was always too slow.

Then COVID showed up. It killed about 1 in every 100 people who caught it. That is almost nothing compared to hantavirus. But COVID was mild enough that you could work for a week without knowing. You would ride the bus, hug your kid, eat lunch with a coworker, and infect four other people. It killed 7 million.

Flu works the same way. Mild fever, sore throat, but you still drag yourself to school or the office. The virus walks right into the next host.

Hantavirus is the opposite. Within 4 to 10 days, your lungs fill with fluid. There's no medicine that fights it and no vaccine to prevent it. The only treatment is a machine that breathes for you, and even that just cuts the death rate from 50% to 20%. Every outbreak, from 3,200 UN soldiers in the Korean War, to the 1993 Four Corners cases, to Gene Hackman's wife Betsy Arakawa last year, traces back to mice.

The viruses that worry scientists are the boring ones. The ones that give you a sniffle for a week and let you walk around the city while you're contagious. Hantavirus, brutal as it is, never had the spread to do real damage.

I was 21. NYSC posting: a village clinic in Osun. No light. No water. Just me, a matron in her 60s, and women who walked 3 hours for antenatal.

Day 1, a 16 year old girl came in bleeding and pregnant. Her 40-year old husband said, “It’s normal. First baby always hard.”

Matron took one look at me and said, “Corper, you go learn today.”

We had no ultrasound or blood bank. Just gloves, faith, and a torchlight I held with my mouth while Matron’s hands disappeared inside that child.

For 6 hours we fought. The girl was slipping. Matron prayed in Igala and English. I cried, thinking, “This is why I wanted to japa.” 😂

Then the baby’s cry came; a small, angry boy, alive. The 14-year-old whispered, “Aunty, thank you for not running.” 😭

Covered in blood and sweat, Matron said: “You think this work na for money? This work na for the girls who don’t know their own worth yet. You stay. You fight. You stubborn. Because if we no stubborn, who go be stubborn for them?”

That was 5 years ago.

Today I’m a doctor in Lagos with a clinic in Abule Egba. Every girl who comes in with “normal period pain” that’s been killing her for years reminds me of that torchlight and Matron’s hands. I get stubborn.

I’ve diagnosed 47 cases of advanced PID this year, done 12 fibroid surgeries, and caught 3 girls early before their wombs got damaged.

Ladies, my message is simple:
1. “Normal” pain that stops your school, work, or life? It’s NOT normal.
2. Your body is not “village people.” It’s biology. Test it. Scan it. Know it.
3. Be stubborn about your health. The world will call you dramatic. Be dramatic and alive.

That matron died 2 years ago, but her stubbornness lives in every girl I refuse to let die quietly.

I know I’m not the only one who notices the quiet grief we Africans carry. For delayed exposure, slow systems, almost zero safety nets, starting adulthood already tired and having dreams literally cut short by bad governance.

No single day goes by on this app without reading it.

[Duchess of Bourdillon! @duchessmabboud]

I just graduated a few weeks ago. I was class rep all through my stay in UI Law so I knew nearly all my classmates on a personal note.

The ones who worked every last day just to feed and afford the basics.

The ones we had to crowdfund for.

The ones who were in and out of hospital and always called to take excuse because while we’re writing yet another test, they can’t make it because they are on a hospital bed for the umpteenth time that semester.

The ones who got overwhelmed and depressed.

The ones who lost family and/or friends and just couldn’t find their way back.

The family men and women who just had other responsibilities and cant give it as much time as the others.

And it goes on and on…

The most important thing I learnt from being class rep is not leadership or service. It is to give people grace when it comes to these things.

There are still those who do not care and just want to graduate with whatever but mehn, more than half the time, life happened and it takes different forms.

Leave people alone. Let them celebrate their 2:2 if they want. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT TOOK TO GET THERE!

And I really hope you never have to know.

Japanese scientists have begun human trials for a drug that could potentially allow humans to regrow lost teeth.

The trials aim to test the drug's safety and effectiveness in adults who are missing teeth. If successful, it could be a major breakthrough, offering an alternative to dentures and implants.
