A Humble Prayer Request from the Mission Field
Dear beloved brethren in Christ,
If you are reading this message today, I ask you with all my heart to pause for just a moment and whisper a prayer for me, my team, and every missionary and evangelist who is tirelessly proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, especially here in Northern Nigeria.
Every day we walk into villages where fear has become a way of life. We have comforted widows whose husbands were murdered for their faith, prayed with children who have become orphans overnight, and stood beside believers who have lost everything except their hope in Christ. Many times we travel knowing that we may not return home. Yet we continue, because the love of Christ compels us.
There are nights when the sound of gunfire echoes through our communities, and there are days when the burden feels almost too heavy to carry. But in those moments, we remember the words of our Lord:
> "I will never leave you nor forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5
That promise gives us the strength to keep going.
Please pray that the Lord will surround us with His divine protection, fill us with unwavering courage, and grant us His grace and mercy as we continue to preach His Gospel. Pray that every missionary on the frontlines will remain faithful, joyful, and steadfast, no matter the cost.
The enemies of the Gospel may try to silence us through persecution, violence, and intimidation, but they cannot stop the work of God.
As the Apostle Paul declared:
> "The word of God is not bound." — 2 Timothy 2:9
By His grace, we will continue to carry the Good News to the ends of the earth until every heart has the opportunity to hear the saving name of Jesus Christ.
Please do not forget us in your prayers. Your prayers strengthen weary hands, encourage discouraged hearts, and remind us that we are not standing alone.
May the Lord bless you abundantly for remembering those who serve on the mission field.
In Christ alone,
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo
I've been thinking about this almost every day.
What would it actually take to ensure every single child in the South East is in school?
I don't mean reducing the number of out-of-school children.
I mean ZERO.
I'm setting myself a target:
Zero out-of-school children in the South East within the next 24 months.
And within 4 years, I want us to drive illiteracy as close to zero as possible.
I know it sounds ambitious.
There are children out of school because of poverty. Some because of culture. Some because of religion. Some because they have to work. Others because there are barriers we've not even identified yet.
But I genuinely believe this is a problem we can solve if we stop treating it as someone else's responsibility.
So I'm asking for your help.
If you had to achieve this, what would you do?
I want practical ideas. Bold ideas. Crazy ideas. Lessons from other countries. Community-based solutions. Technology. Policy. Anything.
I'll read every suggestion.
If we can solve this in the South East, we'll create a blueprint that the rest of Nigeria and maybe even Africa can learn from.
We have been invited to Singapore for 2027. We will challenge their best students in Maths.
The winners of the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad will challenge the best in Singapore in 2027. 56 other countries will join too.
I like how the world is now taking an interest in our children.
I am benchmarking our education against that of Singapore, Finland, Shanghai, China, Canada, and the US.
This is how we can move from being a third-world country to a first-world country.
The future is looking exciting.
Hi guys,
Following the conversations around selling tickets for gospel events, I’ve taken time to genuinely consider the perspectives that were shared with me. I realized there were angles I hadn’t given enough thought to, and I now understand the issue better than I did when I made my post.
Because of that, I’ve deleted the post.
I realize I was too quick to make a judgment. It wasn’t my intention to attack or condemn anyone, but I can see how my words came across that way. Looking back, I should have framed it as a question or opened a conversation instead of making a definitive statement.
Regarding my book, I also hadn’t considered it from the perspective many of you pointed out. At the time, I was primarily focused on the fellowship and ministry aspect of the conversation, and I wasn’t seeing the broader picture. Hearing your thoughts helped me realize there were angles I hadn’t sufficiently considered.
My post was never aimed at any particular gospel artist or minister. In fact, I wasn’t thinking about anyone’s event when I made it. I’m still learning, growing, and allowing my perspectives to be refined, and I’m grateful for the correction.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who felt attacked or condemned by my words. That was never my heart.
I deeply believe in the ministries of these gospel artists. We are one body in Christ, and I don’t want to contribute to unnecessary division or attacks against one another.
Thank you to everyone who engaged respectfully and helped me see things from a different perspective. I appreciate it, and I’ll carry the lessons from this conversation going forward.
Again, my soul aches when I remember that Christians supported, and are still supporting this demonic Tinubu-led sham of a shameful government. I cannot wrap my head around it.
I just learned that under Ghana’s Free Senior High School policy, the government pays the WASSCE registration fees for every student in public schools.
Then I looked at Nigeria, where WAEC and NECO fees have just increased.
I’m struggling to understand the logic.
Nigeria has one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world.
Thousands of children drop out every year because their families simply cannot keep up with the cost of education.
Education is under attack in Nigeria and we have to fight back.
I’m really worried that Nigeria is behind in science.
It became obvious at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale where I saw children from other countries doing great things in science.
How do you think we can solve this?
I’ll suggest the Lagos state government provide a free health insurance for Lawma Sweepers.
I saw a woman’s video now, she was hit by a bus and she has been treating herself since then.
Hospital is requesting for N3M! Where do you want her to see that kind of money?
Today, Enugu Airport was at a standstill when Chimdiebube Onwubiko arrived home with his teacher. Everyone was there to welcome our hero.
This is the greatest educational reception in the South East.
Tomorrow, Imo State will be at a standstill. The government and all the people of Imo State are preparing a grand reception for Egejurum Onyedikachi and Don Anele Munachimso.
They have done the South East proud by becoming world champions in Mathematics.
The educational awakening in the South East has entered another dimension, and this is just the beginning.
This is THE MAN OF THE YEAR.
Alex Onyia is vindicated! He is my MVP.
When he defended some of the children in his CBT Testing centers, he knew exactly what he was doing. Those children are on FIRE! Alex could vouch for some of them — because he knew that JAMB & WAEC are a walk in the park.
Next time, when he calls out WAEC or JAMB, listen! Don’t reduce everything to tribe or Miracle centers. He has invested heavily in those children. I won’t forget when he ordered (1000 pieces of low cost — fairly used Lenovo Thinkpad PCs from Germany) in a hurry.
He even promised to order thousands more! He keeps fighting for education. He fought for the students of UNN to have better hostels.
He hosts Math Olympiad & trains teachers & pupils. He single-handedly put education back on the map. His advocacy has become an established powerhouse. Alex is global now!
The Presidency are confused. They don’t know how to congratulate the children for winning 12 Gold medals & 3 silver at the STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy. Congratulating the children could easily be interpreted as promoting Peter Obi.
The world-class performance of the children is why the government must begin to invest in education & sponsor education tournaments.
Their victory is why tribalism & bigotry must die for Nigeria to rise. Aso Rock would have taken all the glory. All they needed to do was reach out & bankroll the children. Congratulating the Geniuses is easy for Peter Gregory Obi.
After all, education is his strongest suit. 👏👏
Chimdiebube Onwubiko won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad.
He is just 13 years old and currently in JSS3. He has finished _Engineering Mathematics_ by K.A. Stroud.
He has now proven himself on the world stage.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Dear Alex Onyia @winexviv,
Concerned Nigerians have read your recent tweet where you said the Ministry of Education is demanding total handover of the Olympiads portfolio so they can sponsor them with government funds.
Please don’t fall for the illusion that the federal government is selling you.
They didn’t care about these Olympiads for 7 years. Now that you’ve single-handedly redefined education and put the finest brains among our teens on the global map, they suddenly want to “sponsor” everything.
Don’t let them politicize your hard work, which they will definitely do if you emotionally allow them.
They will introduce tribalism, disqualify the best students, and push incompetent ones forward just as they’ve always done.
Look at our athletes under government sponsorship. How many times have they missed international appearances?
This is classic Tinubu and APC style.
Please protect what you’ve built.
Our children deserve merit, not politics.
