Look at America, Europe and Canada today.
Indians are leading top companies, building global technology, running hospitals, teaching in world-class universities and occupying important positions across the world.
Look at China.
They moved hundreds of millions from poverty to global power by taking education, science, engineering, manufacturing and national planning seriously.
None of this happened by accident.
Nations that invest in human capital eventually export influence.
That is the path we must take.
We are not grooming children just to survive Nigeria.
We are grooming a generation that will compete with the best minds on earth.
Our education must move from survival to global domination.

Happy Birthday America!
If I was born in any other country I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wasn’t born into wealth. I shouldn’t be MrBeast. This country gave me the freedom to chase my dreams and mindset that I can achieve anything. America isn’t perfect but dam I love her 🇺🇸
Today is D-day.
Our boys are now at the Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma for the Grand Finale of the International STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy.
I’m optimistic about their victory.
Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, just came out of the International STEM Olympiad finale.
Listen to his experience.
We are rooting for him to win gold.
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.
I got stranded one weekend and needed to make an urgent transfer, but Zenith Bank decided to misbehave. I called my girlfriend and asked if she could lend me the money, promising to send it back the moment my transaction went through.
She said, “I don’t think I can.”
I asked why, thinking maybe she had a genuine reason. She replied, “You know I don’t like taking money out of my savings.”
I asked again just to be sure I heard her correctly. She repeated the exact same thing.
I simply said, “Okay,” and ended the call. A few days later, I ended the relationship too.
It wasn’t even about the money. It was realizing I couldn’t count on the person I was planning a future with when I genuinely needed help.
Changed National Anthem that has been there for ages
Changed NYSC Khaki that Corpers have been wearing from day 1
The country has tons of problems that needs sorting out but no, let the Corpers start wearing Adire 💔
