Building a viable business is easily the most difficult thing to achieve as 3 of 5 new businesses go under in first 12 months. However, if you can find a service to render to 50,000 people within 25km of your location and make a profit of N1000 from each person , now that's=N50M
Saw this creative in Enugu when I went jogging this morning
Nigerians are gifted and talented mehn!
Please who knows the main handle of Enviable motors? Let’s tag them to see this🥹
Education Crisis: Calls for Fundamental Change, Not Just Policy
The Federal Government has finally admitted to its poor management of the education sector. Recently, the Minister of Education acknowledged that the policy separating junior and senior secondary schools has failed to improve educational outcomes. This is evident in recent examination results. In 2024, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) reported that only 38.32% of candidates passed English and Mathematics in the WASSCE. In 2025, only 32% passed the computer-based WASSCE. This poor performance has been consistent across major examinations over the past two years.
This admission is tragic because education is the most vital contributor to human capital development, which forms the foundation for growth and economic development of any society. We cannot overcome economic stagnation without prioritising education, healthcare, and job creation to lift millions of unemployed youths out of poverty. As successful Asian nations have demonstrated, educational excellence requires sustained investment in curriculum development, motivated teachers, and better learning environments.
Unfortunately, the government continues to neglect the sector. In the 2026 budget, education received only ₦3.52 trillion, just 6.17% of total expenditure, down from 7.87% in 2025, and well below UNESCO’s recommended 15–20%. This low allocation indicates a failure to recognise education as a driver of sustained economic growth.
Education advocate, Mr Alex Onyia @winexviv , recently revealed that Nigeria failed to sponsor students to the International STEM and Mathematics Olympiads due to a lack of funding. It is heartbreaking that the government can sponsor hundreds to irrelevant international conferences yet fail to support its brightest students on the world stage.
The Minister’s admission reflects a broader failure of public leadership. The issue is not the JSS/SSS policy itself, but the lack of commitment to properly fund, manage, and deliver quality education.
In Anambra State, we proved that committed leadership can transform educational outcomes. Through effective funding, oversight, provision of laptops, generators, internet connectivity, and other learning aids, we turned the sector around. For example, our effort in providing computers across all secondary schools (public and private in the state) was recognised by HP Africa Head, who declared that Anambra had procured the largest number of laptops for school children of any subnational government in Africa.
For the future of our society, we must deliberately invest in education, healthcare, and job creation. As I have always said, failing to do the right things is equivalent to abusing society, and the society we abuse today will take its revenge on us and our children tomorrow.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.
The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.
N8.83 trillion is as follows:
1.About 2% of our GDP.
2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.
https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).
If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.
This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.
This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.
A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.

“Over 90% of Nigerians population earn below N150,000, who’s buying all the multimillionaire houses we see around???”
Nigeria’s luxury real estate market appears disconnected from the income levels of even high-earning professionals. With properties selling for hundreds of millions of naira despite their limited affordability, a key question emerges: who is buying these homes? The answer likely lies beyond regular salaries, pointing to broader economic and investment dynamics shaping the property market.
Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, decided to participate again today in the International STEM Olympiad finale, science category, unprepared.
Listen to his experience.
We are rooting for him to win double gold.
@winexviv My sisters children can't wait for this competition to finish because since Una travel them never test peace neither has any of them touched their playstation
Has anyone noticed that the Minister of Education, the Ministry, and education bodies like JAMB haven't publicly wished these boys good luck?
The South East will continue to progress. with or without the federal government's approval. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The coding competition has started for the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome, Italy.
It’s beautiful to see bright minds challenge themselves.
Next year we will have our children compete in the coding competition as well.
A high school student has developed an artificial intelligence tool that diagnoses autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with 89 percent accuracy using retinal scans.
Seventeen year old Edward Kang from Bergen County Academies in New Jersey created RetinaMind. Drawing inspiration from research linking eye structure to brain development he built a deep learning convolutional neural network. The system examines subtle variations in the macula and retinal nerve layers that are difficult for humans to detect. By combining multiple models through ensemble learning it reaches high diagnostic precision.
Traditional assessments for these conditions often depend on lengthy behavioral evaluations. RetinaMind offers a faster non invasive alternative. Kang also explored genetic connections such as the ABCA4 gene that may contribute to observed retinal differences.
His project earned second place and a $175,000 award at the 2026 Regeneron Science Talent Search. Experts note that further validation is needed as retinal changes can relate to other neurological issues. Nevertheless the work highlights the potential of artificial intelligence to identify biomarkers and enable earlier intervention.
Today in Rome, I could see different government delegates from other countries, including China and Singapore, right here to support their students for International STEM Olympiad.
No single government delegate from Nigeria.
Is this how much our government abhors education?
