This conversation about the Nigerian educational excellence has shut out students from public schools.
Public school students can't compete and are not set up for success. We used to go toe-to-toe with Nickdel and Lifeforte back in the day.

SCHOOL IS NOT SCAM.
Good news. On July 23, 2026, I will be unveiling the Southeast Human Right Bureau, an innovative project to counter the growing violations of human rights in the region and the spate of reckless executive lawlessness in the region.
This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.
Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.
A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.
On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.
I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.
For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK
A presidential media aide ignorantly claims that earning below minimum wage in Naira puts you at a better economic footing than earning a wage in forex.

We hired a new VP of Engineering who is obsessed with agile methodology.
He called a meeting on his first day and said we need to transition to 2-week development sprints.
He wanted daily stand-ups, retrospective boards, and continuous deployment pipelines.
He wanted us to actually write new code.
I realized immediately that he was an existential threat to my lifestyle.
I let him finish his impassioned speech about workflow velocity.
Then I stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and drew a single horizontal line.
I told him agile sprints are a localized solution for a localized mindset.
I said our infrastructure operates on a Zenith Release Cycle.
He asked what a Zenith Release Cycle was.
I told him it's a holistic, macro-stabilization framework where we observe the system in a state of prolonged stasis.
By not touching the code for 18 months, we allow the legacy dependencies to organically settle.
I told him that deploying bi-weekly updates creates micro-abrasions in our database architecture.
I used the phrase chronological data scarring.
The CEO was in the room and audibly gasped.
He told the new VP that we can't risk chronological data scarring just to satisfy a trendy tech buzzword.
The VP looked at me like I'd just invented a new color.
He was completely paralyzed by the sheer density of my fabricated jargon.
He quietly agreed to adopt the Zenith Release Cycle.
We're officially scheduled to deploy our next update in the third quarter of 2027.
I spent the rest of the afternoon buying things I don't need on Amazon.
Agile is a disease invented by people who want to be punished for their salary.
I refuse to participate in my own suffering.

Notice that he has not returned to Nigeria or sent his kids back there. He has remained in the UK after paying almost all of his income to bills.

A Wife’s Tears, A Nation’s Conscience: Let Justice Have a Heart.
I woke this morning in America and was deeply moved by an emotional viral video of Hajiya Asiya El-Rufai, prompting deep reflection on our nation’s future.
Regardless of the allegations against Mallam Nasir El-Rufai or any other citizen, justice must be transparent and fair, with reasonable bail conditions that should not be seen as punitive before trial. In a democracy governed by the rule of law, institutions exist to protect every citizen's rights, regardless of their background.
We must resist any hint of selective justice that erodes public trust and threatens national unity. Those tasked with enforcing our laws must act professionally and strictly follow due process.
Let us strive for a Nigeria where the law is paramount, and where every citizen is guaranteed dignity and justice. This is the foundation of the New Nigeria we envisage. -PO

Regardless of how we feel about Nasir El-Rufai, there is no reason to keep him incarcerated for as long as he has been. The true test of our beliefs and values lies not in how we uphold them when it is convenient but when it is inconvenient.
Everyone who has followed my work knows what I think about Nasir's politics and everything he has done. But I will be the first to say the rule of law must be followed. And that in a democracy you do not get to pick and choose who should be accorded human rights. I say this as someone from Kaduna, who has both political and personal grievances against Nasir El-Rufai. Release him, or at least treat him with the dignity every human deserves (whether they have been accused of a crime or not) and let him have his day in court.
The rain came, and Lagos drowned. But it was not climate change that did this; it was the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. The road blocked the water's path to the sea, forcing it back into the homes of ordinary Nigerians. Foreign banks like Deutsche Bank and First Abu Dhabi funded this project and will collect tolls for two decades, no matter how many communities are destroyed. The road is rising. The water is rising, the people are drowning, and the foreign profit is the only thing standing tall.
