Our first drone test flight worked, although it crash-landed. But tomorrow, our stars will improve it and perfect it.
This is the real definition of education for me. Every child has been so engaged, deeply involved, and super excited to learn and create things.
They are applying the knowledge of maths and science to create something meaningful.
The future is looking exciting.
Our young engineers will do their first drone flight test tomorrow if everything goes well.
They built this drone from scratch.
The goal is to develop low-cost drones at scale to improve security in the region and to enable emergency medication deliveries to hospitals.
This is what education should be. Every day, a child should go home with a new skill.
This morning, our stars have made progress with their drones. Low cost drones for security and hospitals in the South East.
Some of these children are from remote villages, and you can see how exceptional they have become with little access.
I thank Rainbow Bridge College Enugu for this partnership with ISEE. They will be the first true technical school that aligns with our mission in the South East.
Our future is exciting.
Another video circulating online has identified the lecturer involved as Prof. Ifeanyi Sunny Odinye of the Chinese Studies Department at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka.
He is accused of attempting to s€xually ass•ult a female student in his office. the student seized his clothes and fled outside, causing the lecturer to pursue her while unclothed. Students intercepted and beat him.
Igbo brains can only thrive better outside the guidance of Nigeria
I will keep saying this
we are supposed to be up there with China Russia and the west
“Let Me Educate You Because You’re Ignorant Of This. What The British Did In Nigeria Was To Make It Easier To Control The People In The Northern Region By Piggybacking On The Existing Oligarchic And Feudal System. But The Igbos Refused And Stood Up To Britain.” ~ Nigerian Man Debates And Educates Some British Men In The UK. 🇳🇬-🇬🇧
We have now taken legal action against WAEC.
WAEC has 14 days to respond and take appropriate action, failing which we will proceed with litigation.
You can carefully read the details here https://t.co/x1JhbqoKe1 .
There appears to be a serious problem with the recently released results that WAEC has so far refused to publicly acknowledge and address. The consequences are not abstract. Real students are affected. Their admissions, opportunities and futures are at stake.
We cannot sit back and watch an institution as important as WAEC toy with the destinies of young people because it is unwilling to admit that something may have gone wrong.
If there is a glitch, admit it. Investigate it transparently. Fix it. And where students have been wrongly affected, correct their results.
That is what accountability looks like.
No institution should be too big to admit an error, especially when the future of a child may depend on it.
WAEC must be accountable. WAEC must be transparent. And every affected student deserves answers.
Today, our young engineers started their training on welding electronic components for drone assembly.
They have also learned 3D printing for other parts of the drones.
No child wants to stay at home anymore. One of them who fell ill yesterday still insisted on coming from the hospital today.
The future of education must be practical-based.
Certificates are good, but what they can actually do matters the most.
The youngsters learn a new skill every day.
South East children are in a bootcamp in Enugu for 3 weeks, learning AI and robotics engineering, with the help of Alex Onyia. This is what it should be!
Ala Igbo is rising to fall no more.
