If this was Ronaldo’s last game for Portugal, he leaves having played most international games in history (233), scored most international goals (146), and become the only man to score in SIX different World Cups. Congrats, @cristiano - you’ve done your country & family so proud.

Worsening Leadership Crisis in the Country Now Evident

The ultimate cost of uncompassionate leadership, as evident in the country today, is turning citizens’ frustration into deep, volatile resentment. It is even more traumatising when the leader presiding over that collapse demonstrates clear incapacity and a lack of compassion.

The government and people of Oyo State, more than 50 days after the abduction of the schoolchildren without any tangible effort toward their rescue, should rightly feel bitter and abandoned.

Since this unfortunate incident, I have spoken publicly about it twice, including appealing directly to the kidnappers to release the children. I also called the Governor twice to assure him of my solidarity, understanding that this issue is not just an Oyo problem but a Nigerian tragedy.

On Friday, July 3, I decided to travel to Ibadan with Prof. Pat Utomi to express solidarity with the Governor, as more than 50 days had elapsed without the rescue of the children and with numerous others still being held captive across the country.

During our two-hour meeting, I shared my experience in addressing insecurity as Governor of Anambra State. I recalled how President Olusegun Obasanjo, and later Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, would personally call us several times whenever we faced major security challenges.

But, to my utmost shock, I discovered that, contrary to my assumption that they had been in regular communication over the matter, Governor Seyi Makinde had not received a single call from President Bola Tinubu.

I remember the only case of a school kidnapping during President Goodluck Jonathan’s era - the Chibok girls. It drew local and international attention. Even though the security agencies provided almost daily updates on their efforts, Nigerians and the rest of the world were outraged that it took President Jonathan over two weeks to call the then State chief Executive.

I vividly recall that the current President, Bola Tinubu, led a team of vocal critics who called for President Jonathan’s immediate resignation over the incident, citing his delay in calling the state governor. That call for IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION should actually be the case in this matter.

Today, under President Tinubu, there have been more than 13 school kidnappings, yet the President has found it difficult to call the affected state’s chief executive after more than 50 days (over 7 weeks). This is outrageous. I suspect the same may also have been the case in other school kidnapping incidents.

I cannot imagine any issue more important than the lives of our kidnapped children, their teachers, and the many other Nigerians being held captive across the country. It is now an indisputable fact that governance has completely collapsed under this administration.

The situation reflects a total lack of capacity and compassion, compounded by glaring insensitivity.

Amid such an apparent display of incompetence, the President should either resign or, at the very least, abstain from seeking re-election for the sake of our dear country. This call is patriotic, not political. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Setting the record straight:
International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), Pan African Mathematical Olympiad (PAMO), European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO), ISTEM in Rome 2026.

Misconception number 1: The International STEM Olympiad (ISTEM) that students went for in Rome is different from the IMO in China that Nigeria couldn't go to.
The IMO and PAMO are the most prestigious Mathematical Olympiads that Nigeria sends teams to. The selection process for this two is mostly the same as in the past Nigeria has fielded the same teams to IMO and PAMO. The National Mathematical Centre Kwali Abuja (NMC) is the government body in charge of registering a team for these Olympiads. Why do we need a government agency you might ask? This is because this competitions are the academic equivalent of Olympics and you have to participate as a country, not an individual. Countries have only 6 slots for the team. This is part of the reasons why it is more prestigious than these recent Olympias like ISTEM. Over the years, different private organisations have used the name Olympiads to denote their competitions. There questions are a far cry, in terms of difficulty, compared to the traditional Olympiads which require proofs. Also, unlike traditional Olympiads where contesting is on a national level, some of the new Olympiads are open to anyone to participate in as an individual provided you register on time and you have the money (which is usually significant).

Misconception number 2: This year, Samuel Famiroju was among the people that qualified for the IMO in China but could not go due to funding.
Samuel qualifying is false. The NMC organises a 3-4 stage Nigerian Mathematical Olympiad. This is totally different from what Alex Onyia organised with the South East Mathematics Olympiad or what Nigerian Tulip International College organises in collaboration with NMC (an Annual Mathematics Contest). The latter is the contest Samuel is believed to have won which is not involved in the selection process for the Nigerian IMO team. The selection process involves State Rounds and National Rounds. In the past, NMC has organised the contests and sent teams to various Olympiads (like PAMO this year in Ivory Coast) but funding issues threaten that now. While Samuel Famiroju did not qualify, here are some of those that did - Agbo Adoga, Ikenna Enwere and Damaris Oyerinde. The last two also went for the PAMO (as eluded to earlier, PAMO and IMO have virtually the same selection process in Nigeria)

Misconception number 3: Alex Onyia did not select Samuel Famiroju because he is Yoruba.
While I do not agree with the tag of best mathematician in the country Alex ascribes to his student, he held a transparent competition to select the students he went with to Rome. He has consistently said this. Those of us who followed the competition saw the winners emerge and Samuel Famiroju was not part. Alex has also never stated that his competition is only for Igbos, he said it is open to any student in the South East provided they are in the appropriate grades.

Misconception number 4: Ambassadors College sent a student to ISTEM in France earlier this year, 2026.
This is flat out incorrect. First of all, there was never any ISTEM in France earlier this year. The competition the student went for is EGMO. Special Maths Academy (SMA) (@SpecialMaths) has always publicised how the Special Maths Contest will be the main selection criteria for the EGMO. EGMO, just like the IMO and PAMO is not open to private individuals. To pull this off, we had to work with National Mathematical Centre, to get consent, as required. There will be another Special Maths Contest to select students for next EGMO in Croatia, so stay tuned.

If tribalism is not banned in Nigeria and made a serious crime as is it in Rwanda, Nigeria can never move forward as a Nation.

Idris has sent me his first year semester 1 print out. He is already at 4.74 GPA.

This boy is the only person attending university is his large family in Kogi.

He is from a very poor background but it never stopped him a bit. He self taught himself and also supported others around him.

He scored above 300 in JAMB but couldn’t afford to get into university because of lack of funds.

This was when I got interested in him. He has an excellent behavior and very strong drive to succeed.

He will liberate his entire generation through the education he is acquiring.

Education is not a scam. It is a worthy investment.

Today, GoNigeria releases a statement calling on every eligible Nigerian, particularly the millions of young people who have turned 18 since the last general election, to register to vote before the 24 July 2026 deadline.

Over the past few weeks, GoNigeria has been actively engaging young Nigerians through sustained on-the-ground outreach and across a range of media and digital platforms to make voter registration information more accessible. This work will continue in the days ahead.

While voter registration is the immediate priority, it is only one part of GoNigeria's broader mission, anchored by our four foundational pillars: electoral reform, the protection of freedom of speech, judicial reform, and the security of life and property.

I encourage you to read the full statement. If you are eligible to vote, please register before the deadline. If you know someone who is eligible but has not yet registered, encourage them to do the same.
