Money has come! The Minister @mofpedU, Hon. Henry Musasizi has declared a 22.53% interest rate for FY 2025/26, adding UGX 5.44 trillion in interest to members’ savings. That’s your money working harder for your future.
This tweet accidentally explains one of the deepest problems with Nigerian education.
We have confused early literacy with early intelligence.
A 5 year old kid reading and writing before everyone isn’t impressive. Childhood development is not a race to finish the ABC. Those early years should be about building curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, communication and independent thinking.
Let them build things. Draw nonsense. Play games. Solve puzzles. Ask annoying questions. Learn to disagree and explain why.
Then reading, writing and maths become tools for a mind that has already started learning how to THINK.
And Twitter is probably the funniest evidence of what happens when we get this backwards 😂
Every day you meet people here who can read and write beautifully. Big grammar sef.
But comprehension? Omo.
You write A. They read B. They argue passionately against C. Then 4,000 people retweet aggressively 😭
That is the tragedy.
Literacy is not the same thing as education. Being able to read is useless if you were never taught how to think.
POOR TRAINING OR IMPUNITY‼️
At first I thought this @Nec_Fc Bus had broken down on Acacia Avenue and was temporarily pushed unto the walkway.
I was wrong. Looks like it’s their sweet parking spot and drives off in the evening.
While @KCCAUG works hard to create safe walkways, someone thinks it’s a parking spot.
Why?
Please STOP abusing and DAMAGING walkways, you’re compromising pedestrians’ SAFETY.
Think SAFETY FIRST.

Have you ever visited somewhere so breathtaking in Africa and thought: Why don’t we see more of this on the news?
Africa as a continent has been viewed negatively but this Nigerian filmmaker, Niyi Fagbemi, is on a mission to change that narrative, one video at a time.
Life is teaching me the law of detachment. enjoy people, moments and blessings while they’re yours but don’t lose yourself trying to make anything stay forever.
