Zlatan Ibrahimovic once said something that has stayed with me. He recalled going through David Beckham’s playlist one day and chuckling at the songs he found there. Beckham, noticing the grin on his face, asked what was so funny. Zlatan, in his usual braggadocious fashion, smiled and said something to the effect of, “It’s beautiful to see that despite your good looks and all the places where people think you’re almost superhuman, there is still somewhere you fail miserably.”

My mind went back to that story because I believe the same thing is happening here with Jim. Despite all his articulateness, despite the poise with which he carries himself, despite the breadth of his exposure, his thinking is, unfortunately, no better than that of the average Nigerian.

We captured this beautiful moment of Chimdiebube Onwubiko arriving in Enugu yesterday to a hero's welcome.

He won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale in Rome.

I love seeing education reclaim its rightful place in our society.

This is just the beginning of something great.

Everybody you meet for this life go only play their destined role and sign out.

You owe yourself everything...

Anybody when help you or come through for you … just understand say it is destined that you will get help from that person at that particular time and hour.

Who no help you right now no mean say that person no go fit come through for you later on, na the battles when you dey fight with your demons you know, everybody dey fight their own too...

So no too reason am and create unnecessary enemies or burn bridges... Na life.

Just filter people when genuinely love you and get you for mind and no let your emotions misjudge them.

We all have our dedicated time, dedicated hour to be favored by people destined to be reachable to us when we need help or when we need them. Life na time and season.

Na why giving up is equal to you playing yourself...

Because naturally life suppose sup for you, na just for you to stay vigilant and ready for your destined and dedicated time and hour when life suppose soft for you.

Life na continuous try your luck situation, na why dem say when there is life, there is hope.

Life na “by force school... we must learn & experience everything we need for our survival. We must learn pain, we must learn heartbreak, we must learn disappointment, we must experience evil and we must experience good.

You go hurt people when go naked swear for you, same way people go play you wetin no good.

No be by hard work, na by understanding how the universe operates.

If you no position yourself, your bus go leave you go, but the good thing na say another bus go come again, and if you Dey lucky, e go come in 24-48 hrs… if you still Dey lucky, e go come in 1 or 2 years time.

Anytime e come, na your time, dem no dey catch late comer for airport.

The only time when nothing concern you and luck na make your bus Dey road Dey come make death first your bus reach your bus stop. Na hin be labor in vain.

But as long as air dey comot through your nose and enter your nose, your duty na to continue to throw your dice in every direction.

Double 6 moment dey everybody pathway... Na your determination be your best friend.

So... #FireUp.

I'm 31. I'll be 69 by the time Nigeria finish paying the 2015-2026 debts. This year alone, BAT has added $7.77bn this year alone.

So I made a tool that tells you how old you'll be when Nigeria finish servicing some of the 2015-2026 debts. Vote wisely.

There is a false tribal narrative being circulated claiming that we dropped a Yoruba child to replace him with an Igbo child for the International STEM Olympiad in Rome.

That claim is completely false.

This is the full live stream of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale, where the winners emerged. Our selection process was conducted publicly because we believe transparency is the best way to protect integrity.

We deliberately stream our competitions live so everyone can see how winners are determined. Our goal is simple: ensure that the right children win based on merit, not ethnicity, religion, connections or influence.

We are building a generation that believes hard work is rewarded. Merit is not negotiable.

Watch the full Afia TV live broadcast and judge the process for yourself: https://t.co/hByUPQkdQv

Nigeria's children deserve better than tribal propaganda. They deserve fairness.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Our maths genius, Victor Onwubiko, just came out of the International STEM Olympiad finale.

Listen to his experience.

We are rooting for him to win gold.

Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.

I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.

I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.

I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.

My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦‍♂️

At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.

Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.

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.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

This JSS 3 boy, Victor Onwubiko, has finished K.A. Stroud’s _Engineering Mathematics_ back to back. He is the best mathematician in the country at the junior secondary level.

He will be competing with students from 154 other countries this week in Rome, Italy, at the fierce International STEM Olympiad competition.

He is a genius, and the world will celebrate him.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

He is making valid point, but it is harder for Nigerians and I'll explain.

A Chinese neighbour told my Dad she needed N2billion naira loan and wanted to know how she could access it. My dad told her to go to the bank. She said the interest rate was too high that she would rather fly to China to get it at 2%. That is N40m on N2b

How do you compete with that? Most Nigerians don't have that leverage.

As a certified worker of RCCG, I can say this unapologetically: this is the most tribalistic church in the history of mankind.

Tribal bigots. Top to bottom!
