As someone that has followed Alex and his initiative since July, 2025 I have a few things to say.
1. There's a mix up. Alex asked if he should start a Maths Olympiad in SE and he was supported. He obviously couldn't do it alone and setup a GoFundMe link which a lot of people contributed. He wanted the reward money to be big—5 million naira so it'll be more fun.
2. When he started, he said his focus will solely be for SE, even though some asked for Some parts of Rivers and Delta to join, but that period was the peak of tribalism so he declined.
3. He stated earlier that it's the winners of SE Maths Olympiad which he presides over that will represent Nigeria for STEM Olympiad in Rome.
4. When the winners emerged, he still wanted them to compete in other academic activities so they'll be used to competition, that is why the winners competed in the National Maths Olympiad which was organized of which one of the winners in SE, Onwubiko Ebube took second and the Yoruba boy took first.
If Nigeria wasn't delisted from Maths Olympiad in China, the Yoruba boy could have competed and represented Nigeria in that global space and he, Alex said that individuals can't fund it, it's solely government.
He went on with his plans for the SE Maths Olympiad winners, because he has been preparing them from Day 1.
He didn't drop any kid, Nigeria government failed that boy and a lot of others.
The funds in ISEE couldn't foot the STEM Olympiad in Rome and Alex solely funded this children's trip.
I'm just glad that he's getting enough publicity because next year will be bigger and better.
If you read to this point and you have a child in primary or secondary, please go to Alex page and get them ready for the Sterling Bank Maths Quiz.
They're giving out ₦500k biweekly to the winner. It's open to all Nigerian Students and first phase has come and gone.
Thank you.
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.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
I really love that we are bringing attention back to STEM among young people in Nigeria. There was a time topics like these won’t even make a ripple. Next year we go for gold
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.
Have you people seen this? Or we should wait for them to arrive in the South West before we start panicking and taking issues seriously?
Emergency air ambulance for injured terrorists but nothing for tax-paying law-abiding citizens. We are finished!
Did you know that when Bowen University was founded, a huge number of muslim students were sponsored by one rich Iwo indigene to buy the University's Entrance Forms, and after they secured their admission, they began to agitate for a mosque on campus and hijab for female students, etc
When they were turned down, they began to hold prayers on the school field in defiance
When the school authority protested, they started a riot.
I have never seen Christians going into muslim schools or companies or institutions and demanding that rules must be changed for them
They knew it was a Baptist University, they knew it was a Christian institution, and yet they did all that.
The Inaugural Vice-Chancellor of Bowen University, Professor J. T. Okedara, had to retire early because of the trouble these students gave him
It took the intervention of the Nigeria Baptist Convention and a change of Vice-Chancellor for these students to be rusticated and for peace to be restored.
I was reading the news about International School, Ibadan, and I can see the same spirit of disruption and troublemaking at work.
I have never seen bandits wearing cassocks, carrying Bibles and shouting Hallelujah as they behead people
It is a paradox that people practising a religion can be fomenting trouble without provocation all over the world and still claim that they are a religion of peace.
Indeed, there is a spirit at work in every human being based on the faith they embrace.
The IMF dropped a bombshell on July 1st and many Nigerians missed it.
It said the government borrowed and spent a huge percentage of money without accounting for it through the budget.
That means, off the books.
Lagos Alpha-beta style.
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.

Nigerian journalism is in the gutter. This is a story that should be investigated by journalists themselves and they are discussing it as if they are reporting gossip and reading out tweets. Journalism is not peddling gossip and discussing it like they are The View.
How do I tell people that Prince Adeyemi’s case with Gbaja is a tip of the iceberg in our federal budget?
The National commission for the Almajiri and Out of School Children Education situated in Abuja will spend 1,400,000,000 ($1.1m) on “Rehabilitation & Construction of Obasanjo-Itele Road & Idogo Township road” in faraway Ogun state”
