Sometimes I feel the type of environment created can be a detriment or help. The #COVID19 pandemic has been hard on us all but I honestly believe it detrimental to #Ghanaian adolescents. They need to be educated on sexual and reproductive #Health.
This is unreal. He’s touching 40. This isn’t a comp of him as a 23 year old against Oviedo. This is a semi final of the World Cup when his team and country needed him. You can only be in awe 🙌🏽🔥
Master Chisom Unachukwu and Anthony Iwegbu are their maths teachers.
They helped their students conquer the world.
Their schools are Evergreen Schools Enugu and Diamond Special College Owerri.
What a day!
Mark their faces and remember their names: Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Egejurum Onyedikachi Ethan, and Don Anele Munachimso. They will all be global superstars.
You wonder what’s next after the Olympiad? The show is about to begin.
You will follow their live journey to greatness.
We will be introducing an Education Hall of Fame, and they will be inducted. This team will travel to several countries for competitions, and we will all enjoy the journey.
New outstanding students will join them, while those who are going to university will become exco members.
Each and every one of them will get into an Ivy League university in the US or top universities in the UK or Europe.
This is the time for education to take its place in our society.
Our superstar Chimdiebube Onwubiko is about to head to Enugu.
Thousands are already waiting for his grand arrival.
He is the world’s best in the Junior Mathematics category.
What a superstar!
I got this beautiful message from Don Anele Munachimso.
Read below…
Good morning sir. I am Don-Anele Munachimso Marvelous, the boy you gave the opportunity to display God's faithfulness in this generation.
I'm full of gratitude to you, for allowing God to use you to achieve this feat, you gave me space when I lacked one, you gave me breath when I was about to choke, indeed, you are a special gift, not only to me, but to my generation, thank you for making it happen. Thank you for giving meaning to my existence, with a grateful heart, I say thank you and God bless you.
Thank you sir.
Don-Anele Munachimso and Egejurum Onyedikachi were received like kings yesterday in Owerri.
They returned home with two gold medals from the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome.
Together, they are the world's best in Mathematics in the Primary and Senior categories. Don-Anele Munachimso is also the world's best in Science (Senior Category).
This is what excellence looks like.
These children are not just champions; they are proof that Nigerian children can stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best in the world when given the opportunity.
They are stars today.
The world will celebrate them even more tomorrow.
This is not the peak.
This is just the beginning of greatness.
We captured this beautiful moment as Egejurum Onyedikachi and Don-Anele Munachimso arrived at Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, yesterday to a true hero's welcome.
These are not football stars. They are not musicians. They are not politicians.
They are children.
Children who became the world's best in Mathematics in the Primary and Senior categories. Don-Anele Munachimso is also the world's best in Science.
The last literary figures from the South East to receive this kind of heroic public welcome were Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Watching our brightest young minds being celebrated like national heroes gives me hope.
For too long, we have celebrated almost everything except academic excellence.
That is beginning to change.
Education is reclaiming its rightful place in our society, and a generation of children is growing up believing that knowledge, hard work and excellence deserve standing ovations too.
This is bigger than two children.
This is the beginning of a movement.
At Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, a billboard has been put up for our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, to celebrate him as he arrived in Owerri today.
He is 11 years old and the world’s best in the Primary category for Mathematics.
He is so good that he finished the exam and fell asleep.
What a star!
Venni, vidi, vinsi.
I woke up a world champion🥺. A gold medalist.
I'm beyond grateful to God for helping me live my dream through my students 🙏🏽.
God bless you @winexviv
En route Enugu.

@olinad_zebborb@Eltayo_Ofosuah First time I’m hearing of this, I do know that people of Togo and Benin descents are called “Egun” in Lagos and environs, never heard of Agoyin except for the beans stew.
@ArthurCephas4@lydiaforson The lecturer should have consulted with the HOD and cancel the defense probably until another day. It’s not like they could not see the flood everywhere. It’s the responsibility of the HOD to ensure students safety not the other way around.
