Itโs an Islamic school, why are they there?๐คทโโ๏ธ
Itโs written all over Al-Hikmah, from the gate to every nook and cranny that you MUST wear the Hijab.
Knowing well about the rules and regulations before applying to the school, absolutely nothing is wrong with it.
Alex Onyia is in Rome, sponsoring kids in global STEM competition.
Ogbeni Dipo is on Twitter space discussing Alex Onyia.
"Rich minds discuss ideas: poor minds discuss people."
Unfortunately I donโt think this is good news. Next youโll hear competitions not approved by the ministry canโt represent Nigeria internationally with certain competitions finding it difficult to get approval or their activities slowed.
The Ministry of Education has now contacted the National Mathematical Centre to request that it submit all national Olympiad competitions it organizes.
They want to start sponsoring all of them to the international finals now.
They have started contacting schools already.
This was abandoned in 2019.
I hope they donโt politicize it.
Our children need to shine on global stages.
The South East is making a choice.
We will double down on eliminating illiteracy.
Every child who cannot read, write and reason represents lost potential for our economy, our security and our future.
We are studying the education systems that consistently produce some of the worldโs strongest learning outcomes, including Singapore and China.
We are no longer educating children just to survive.
We are educating them to compete globally and lead.
That is the future we are building.
Testicular torsion got me my first query ever.
During NYSC camp in Oyo, a corps member came into the clinic with sudden, severe scrotal pain. The doctor on duty suspected testicular torsion and immediately asked the woman in charge of the clinic to arrange for him to be transferred to a hospital in town.
She insisted they should just give him paracetamol.
We tried explaining that testicular torsion is a surgical emergency and that every minute counts. She wouldn't budge.
The doctors in camp were furious, so we went straight to the camp commandant. After hearing the situation, he approved moving the corps member to another facility.
That didn't go down well with the woman.
She was determined to teach us a lesson.
- She issued queries to all of us.
- She barred us from the camp clinic, saying only those officially on duty were allowed there.
We responded to the queries and, in protest, refused to return to the camp clinic for 2 days (I think).
Eventually, we were invited to a meeting where our concerns were heard and addressed.
Looking back, I'd collect that query all over again. Some situations are too time sensitive to let bureaucracy get in the way.
Public policy demands public input.
This is facilitated by data points from the general public, trackable indices, and retrospectives in the event of policy failures.
This "na me know pass" mentality from our unrefined elite class should be discouraged.
In 2022, he could have faced Brazil in the semi-final but Brazil lost to Croatia.
In 2010, he could have faced England in the quarter-finals but England lost to Germany.
In 2014, he could have faced Portugal in the Round of 16 but Portugal got knocked out in the group stage.
Italy didnโt even make it out of the group stage the last time they were in the World Cup
Meanwhile, Messi advanced to the next round in all of these stages while the people he was supposed to play against didnโt
So how was any of this Messiโs fault?
The most annoying thing about videos like this is that the people most likely to see them are 16-year-old girls at Baze University who will come away ashamed of being Northerners.
They will watch it, internalise the insults, begin distancing themselves from their culture and their people, and start self-hating just to be accepted by lunatics like this.
She offered no explanation for the problem, no attempt to identify its causes, and no solution. She simply insulted, ranted, and felt good about herself.
And the result is that young boys and girls will grow up believing their people are the bottom of the world, then reproduce the same self-hatred in others.
What a waste of space.
