So like Play The 3 most Intelligent Mathematicians on the Planet Under 15 yrs old were somewhere in South Eastern Nigeria chilling. This Country really Hampers Talent. We must do our best to Promote Education going Forward. The possibilities are Mind Blowing. I’m so Excited. 🥰🥳
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.
I'm thinking we should have an annual Best Teacher Award where the best teacher each year wins ₦100 million.
We can have other categories too.
Something like a Grammy to celebrate and inspire teachers.
What do you think?
You are unlikely to ever be as rich as Dangote, and you have already missed the boat to fame as either an athlete or an artiste. But you have gained immortality by your efforts in pursuit of a sustainable and relevant educational system for the youthful victims of Nigerian..👏🏿
1. Do not ask anyone about a parent, partner, sibling, friend, or ex they don’t talk about. They are healing; don’t trigger them.
2. If someone says they don’t like a “joke” you make about them, stop. It is not your place to decide what they find funny about themselves.
3. Don’t visit anyone unannounced.
4. When you want to get a stranger’s attention, don’t touch them. Speak—they can hear you. Always keep your hands to yourself.
5. Don’t video call anyone you are not very close to without asking for permission, even if you are close.
6. When you see someone dealing with pimples, acne, or other skin conditions, don’t comment on it. They have a mirror at home, and they are doing something about it.
7. The only time you should comment on anyone’s body weight is when you want to compliment them sincerely. “You have lost so much weight” and “you have gained weight” are not compliments.
8. If you approach anyone, the first thing you should do is greet them, regardless of age, gender, race, or status.
9. If a friend makes a big purchase, gives birth, or is celebrating something big and shares it with you privately, it is not your place to post it on social media unless they ask you to.
10. Learn to say thank you when anyone does something for you. No matter how small it seems, if you didn’t do it yourself, say thank you—and mean it.
11. Do not eat around a starving person. If you cannot afford to buy for them too, go somewhere else to eat. It is basic decency.
12. When someone is talking, don’t cut them off. Allow them to finish. If you must interrupt, be polite by saying, “I’m sorry for cutting you off…”
At 23, with no prior experience, I turned this dilapidated building into Nigeria’s first offgrid hospital.
Here’s how (5 principles) 🧵:
📍 Enugu, Nigeria
So this is how we are thinking of redesigning the Igbo apprenticeship program “Igba boy”.
For the pilot program, we will likely take in 200 persons to engage in the training on global quality carpentry, bricklaying, tilling, plumbing, HVAC, POP and electricals.
The trainees will engage in an intensive 1 year program which they will be housed and fed. No holidays during the program. An additional 3 months will be on business and commercialization.
Once they complete the cohort and they meet the standards set, they will be settled with a good amount of money to build on the business arm of their skills. Those who don’t meet up will be dropped off from the program.
We will be visiting training centers in Togo and Germany in the coming weeks to solidify our plans and training partnerships.
Let’s brainstorm… what do you think?
We are about to design a new model of Igbo Apprenticeship Education “Igba boy”.
We will run the pilot program this year.
We are starting with carpentry, tilling, plumbing and electrical.
When succeeds, we will produce highly skilled talents at a scale never have seen before.
Germany didn’t become an industrial powerhouse by sending everyone to university.
They built something smarter.
It’s called Ausbildung, a structured apprenticeship system where young people earn while they learn inside real companies.
A 17-year-old in Germany can train to become:
• a mechatronics engineer
• an industrial technician
• an automotive systems expert
• a precision machinist
• a medical equipment technician
They are paid during training.
They graduate with globally respected skills.
And many of them end up earning more than university graduates.
Over 50% of German youth pass through this system.
Now look at Nigeria.
We push everyone into universities.
Millions graduate every year.
But the country is still importing basic technical expertise.
We have degrees but we don’t have enough skills.
This is why we are studying the German Ausbildung model closely to implement in the South East.
Because the South East must lead Africa’s skills revolution.
Imagine a structured apprenticeship system across Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Enugu and beyond where young people can train to become:
• industrial fabricators
• automotive engineers
• robotics technicians
• electronics specialists
• renewable energy installers
• precision manufacturing experts
Training will happen inside real companies.
With structured certification, modern tools and clear career paths.
Not the informal “Igba Boy” system, but a world-class apprenticeship ecosystem.
The South East already has the largest concentration of indigenous manufacturers and traders in Africa.
What we need now is structure, technology, and certification.
If Germany can power Europe’s manufacturing through apprenticeships, there is no reason the South East cannot power Africa’s industrial future.
The next generation of millionaires in Africa will not only be software founders.
Many will be master craftsmen, engineers, and industrial builders.
And when Africa finally fixes its skills crisis, history may remember that the revolution started in the South East.
DON-ANELE MARVELOUS MUNACHIMSO
From Diamond Special College Owerri, IMO State Won the Senior Category for South East Maths Olympiad.
He won N5 million and also won N1 million for his teacher.
He recently won $100k scholarship In Canada.
A star is born today!
I’m thinking for 2027 South East Maths Olympiad, we should make the price money more exciting.
Senior Category winner - N10 million
Junior Category winner - N5 million
Primary Category winner - N3 million
Teacher for any category winner - N2 million
School for any category winner - N5 million
So we can set everywhere on fire, knowing that everyone has something to gain.
We should make education more exciting than anything else. That is the only way we can positively engage this generation and make the best out of them.
We are building the greatest and the most talented workforce from Africa.
What do you think?
Africa’s story will be written by those bold enough to build it.
I’m pleased to confirm that I will be joining industry leaders at the Africa Real Estate Festival 2026 in Accra this April.
This is more than a gathering. It’s a conference for the people shaping the next chapter of our cities from large-scale destination developments to infrastructure that unlocks economic growth.
Africa does not lack vision. What we need is execution at scale. We need courage. We need long-term thinking. And we need leaders willing to build despite the odds.
On April 18–19, 2026, at the Palms Convention Centre in Accra, we’ll have honest conversations about capital, resilience, innovation, and the future of African real estate.
If you’re serious about building Africa, I’ll see you in the room.
