My goal here is simple: I want to change 3 major things about how university education works in Africa.
1. The time : The world is moving fast, but our education system still assumes everyone must learn at roughly the same pace.
I don’t believe education should work that way.
If you have the time, ability and discipline to dedicate more hours to your studies, you should be able to move faster. If life requires you to move slower, there should be room for that too.
The focus should be on mastery, not simply how many years you spent in school.
2. The outcome : The goal of going to university shouldn’t just be to leave with a certificate.
It should be to leave with knowledge, proof that you can apply that knowledge, and a clear path towards using it in the real world.
Universities shouldn’t stop at teaching students. They should help students build, work on real projects, gain experience and ultimately turn what they’ve learned into opportunities.
Education should lead somewhere.
3. The process : Education is not necessarily meant to be easy, but it should absolutely be worth it.
And learning shouldn’t require putting the rest of your life on hold.
You should be able to learn from wherever you are, structure learning around your life, interact with your peers and instructors, and still receive a rigorous university education. Not easier education.
Better education. More flexible education. More practical education.
That’s a big part of what we’re trying to build with the new AltSchool Degree.
And yes, the Degree programmes are NUC accredited.
We’ve spent the last few years rethinking how people learn skills.
Now we’re taking on university education.
Watch this space next month.
Get a trusted, reliable and experienced professional to help with your prepurchase inspections, this is very important.
Emphasis on the words “trusted and reliable”
Happy Weekend beautiful people ✌️✌️
We towed this car from somewhere in Ondo state and the initial plan was to fix all Mechanical works, the transmission system was bad and the engine wasn’t in a good condition, we were contacted and we responded swiftly 🙂🙂.
The car arrived @DMautosolutions@InsideOsogbo safely
We got another engine and transmission system completely, new set of brand new driving shafts, shock absorbers and some suspension systems, it was difficult to give an estimate for the complete Refurbishment because we couldn’t test drive to detect other faults, the car was towed to the workshop, it was after we had replaced the engine and gearbox we were able to test drive to detect other mechanical parts needed, we did this effectively and communicated with our client.
I’ve been seeing the cars submerged in water because of the recent heavy rainfalls… Let me give us some guiding tips..
It is usually an unprecedented situation as most of us don’t plan to encounter floods or any form of being stranded.
If you happen to find your car submerged unanticipatedly, if the water level at least goes beyond the level of the tyre..
1.) Switch off the engine immediately… Just switch it off
2) Try and go out of the car for your own safety, for cars wired electronically such that the doors or windows may not function because of the water, you can break through the window with your head rest on the car seat, your car seats are designed in such a way that you can detach them, remove it and break the glasses to find your way out
3) If the rain, flood abates, do not try to start or crank your engine immediately, this is where most people have issues with their cars
4) It is important that you try and drain the engine oil immediately and service it at that point, while not making any attempt to ignite or start the engine..
5) Try and leave the car for about 2-3 days without doing anything, just leave it to dry off, if it is on the main road or obstructing traffic, put your gear lever on the Neutral position, for both manual and automatic transmissions and push it off the road, remember, do not try to ignite the car
From experience and a professional angle, you may not have to spend a dime on the car for repairs, the car will come up after 48hours if you do not try to crank it from the inception of the flood or rain.
It might be too much if a sacrifice to wait but it will save you a whole lot of expenses..
Worst case scenario, tow the car to your house or anywhere near that is safe, just do not start the engine and leave it for at least 48 hours..
Most importantly, drain the engine oil after the first 24 hours and have the engine oil replaced before attempting to start or ignite the engine.
I’m A Mechanic, and I know these tips will help.
If there will be any electrical malfunctions, they will be minimal, just leave your car for at least 48 hours.

We picked up this Lovely baby from PortHarcourt for a full Refurbishment and complete overhaul, the car arrived @InsideOsogbo safely, we were to replace the engine, all the suspension systems, electrical works, full interior makeover and complete body works.
We got to work after we sent the estimate to our client and we were given a go ahead, it was going to be an interesting journey and very tasking. We started with the Mechanical works, we replaced the engine, shock absorbers, brake pads, steering rack, power steering pump amongst other vital mechanical parts, we started the new engine and the performance was quite impressive..
I grew up in Nigeria. I did all my primary, secondary, and university education in Nigeria ( multiple ). I’ve also interacted with students from institutions outside Nigeria, and I’ve seen how their schools use updated curricula and run internship partnerships with global organisations to give their students a better chance. That’s what I want. That’s what I want to build for @AltSchoolAfrica .
Education in Africa needs to be remodelled for the future we have now. Students should learn in a better way. AI should be built in and accepted, so students know how to use it the right way without letting it replace critical thinking.
@AltSchoolAfrica has been at the forefront of education in Africa for the past 5 years, and now we’re ready to provide the best university experience, fully accredited and licensed, with a curriculum that meets global standards and can guarantee you a better future.
We want you to be a part of the decision making, so if you’d like to fill out a survey that takes 2 minutes to help us determine how best to support you in this, kindly reply to this post, and I’ll reply with a link to the survey.

When we inspect vehicles, we are not just checking appearance. We are looking deeper into the overall condition and integrity of the car.
We check for:
Oil, coolant, transmission, or hydraulic leakages
Signs of engine or gearbox tampering or poor repairs
Electrical faults and hidden wiring issues
Accident history, structural repairs, and chassis condition
Signs of mileage rollback or odometer tampering
General mechanical condition to ensure the vehicle is properly inspected before purchase
A clean exterior does not always mean a clean vehicle. Proper inspection is what protects buyers from expensive mistakes later.
I love that our inspector was able to spot it and convey that.
This is me during my Shell Recruitment Day in November 2011.
1hr after the whole day group interview, I got the phone call I can never forget, “Congratulations, they all loved you. When can you start?”
If you have an upcoming group interview where they put a bunch of you together in a room and give you a task to work on together, then sit up.
I will tell you my secrets.
I don’t need them anymore and it can help you land your dream job.
They are what I used during my SRD.
I have given the same playbook to many mentees who used them to land their dream jobs in various companies.
So, trust me, this works.
