Today, we concluded another partnership with Sterling Bank to launch the Sterling Bank National Mathematics Quiz. A nationwide competition designed to discover, reward, and celebrate Nigeria’s brightest young minds.
Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, students from Primary 1 to SS3 across Nigeria will compete online every two weeks for the prizes.
1st Prize – ₦500,000
2nd Prize – ₦300,000
3rd Prize – ₦200,000
That’s ₦1,000,000 every two weeks and ₦24,000,000 every year dedicated solely to rewarding academic excellence among Nigerian children.
But this is not just about winning money.
It is about building a culture where intelligence is celebrated.
It is about giving every child, whether in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Bayelsa, Maiduguri, Aba, or a remote village, an opportunity to compete on a national stage.
Competition Schedule
• Every two weeks
• Saturdays
• 6:00 PM – 6:20 PM
• Online nationwide
The top performers will then advance to a live championship session streamed online next day same time, where Nigerians can watch some of the country’s brightest students solve challenging mathematical problems in real time.
To ensure fairness and give more students the opportunity to benefit, every student can only win once.
And here’s what makes it even better:
Every participant will be able to review their questions after the competition, identify their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the next challenge.
This means that even students who don’t win become better mathematicians.
Parents, teachers, school owners, and students should begin preparing immediately.
The questions will be tough and the competition will be fierce.
Registration is now open:

Please share this with every child, parent, teacher, school owner, principal, and education stakeholder you know.
Let’s make academic excellence prestigious again.

🎈🎉 Happy Birthday to Diego Milito:
🇦🇷 His treble-winning 2009/10 season was insane:
⚽ Goals: 30
🅰️ Assists: 10
🏆 Champions League
🏆 Serie A
🏆 Coppa Italia
🥇 UEFA Striker of the Year
🥇 UEFA Best Club Player
🥇 Serie A Player of the Year
After Milito wasn't even among the final nominees following Inter's 2010 treble-winning season, where he scored in the Coppa Italia final, Serie A title decider and twice in the Champions League final, this is what his manager said:
🗣️ José Mourinho: “For me, the Ballon d'Or lost all credibility.”

🥹 Jurgen Klopp posted this for Jota:
To Diogo, wherever you are now... When the whistle blows for the 2026 World Cup, everyone will not just look at the green pitch; our eyes and hearts will all turn toward the sky. You were always that brave, relentless warrior—the player who gave everything for the badge he wore, whether it was the famous red of Liverpool or your Portuguese national team jersey. Your tragic passing left a void and a heartache that no tournament or victory can ever fill. We used to talk a lot about this World Cup, and your immense passion to represent Portugal on the world's biggest stage. Today, despite your physical absence, I am absolutely certain that your fighting spirit and determined smile will be the most prominent presence in your teammates' dressing room. I am supporting Portugal in this tournament for you. I will cheer for your teammates because I know they won't just be playing for the trophy; they will be carrying your legacy and passion with every kick and every goal. Your number 21 jersey will remain alive in the memory of everyone who loved you and shared those historic moments with you. Rest in peace, my boy...❤🇵🇹

📝 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘: Prince Cissé, the son of former Liverpool forward Djibril Cissé, has signed his first professional contract with the Reds following a standout 2025/26 season.
