@winexviv A grateful soul

There is a false tribal narrative being circulated claiming that we dropped a Yoruba child to replace him with an Igbo child for the International STEM Olympiad in Rome. That claim is completely false. This is the full live stream of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale, where the winners emerged. Our selection process was conducted publicly because we believe transparency is the best way to protect integrity. We deliberately stream our competitions live so everyone can see how winners are determined. Our goal is simple: ensure that the right children win based on merit, not ethnicity, religion, connections or influence. We are building a generation that believes hard work is rewarded. Merit is not negotiable. Watch the full Afia TV live broadcast and judge the process for yourself: youtube.com/watch?v=F8Dk3E… Nigeria's children deserve better than tribal propaganda. They deserve fairness.

@winexviv The winner should take it all

We will not renovate government owned schools anymore nor offer to train their teachers. They have the resources to do that and they can fix them if they wish. For ISEE we will build modular container schools across communities in the South East, hire and train our own teachers, use of own 21st century globally relevant blended curriculum to train the children. We will also give out scholarships, sponsor sports competitions, support technical education, apprenticeship education, invest in science and innovations. We must remain independent and laser focused with top level management of our investments.

There are more Cape Verdeans living outside Cape Verde than inside it. Nearly a million people abroad, around 530,000 at home. The islands look like a postcard, but their whole history runs on one hard fact: for centuries, the main thing to do here was leave. When Portuguese settlers landed on these ten islands off West Africa in 1462, nobody lived there. No people, no big animals, just volcanic rock rising out of the Atlantic. The town they built on Santiago, Ribeira Grande (now called Cidade Velha), became the first lasting European settlement anywhere in the tropics. Within a hundred years it was one of the richest cities Portugal had, and the money came from a single trade: enslaved Africans, shipped through here on the way to the Americas. The name is a little ironic. "Cabo Verde" means green cape, taken from a green point of land on the coast of Senegal a few hundred miles east. The islands themselves are mostly bone dry. Rain can fail for years, and the famines that followed killed tens of thousands at a time. Each drought pushed another wave of people onto boats headed for New England whaling ports, Lisbon, Rotterdam, Dakar. The biggest Cape Verdean community on earth now sits in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, not on the islands. That history is why the music sounds the way it does. Morna, the slow guitar-and-voice style Cesária Évora carried around the world, comes down to one word: sodade, Creole for the ache of missing a person or a place you might never reach. UNESCO added it to its heritage list in 2019. A whole style of music built around goodbye. The modern story runs the other way. These small, resource-poor islands became one of Africa's steadiest democracies, with power passing peacefully between two parties since 1991. In 2007 Cape Verde became only the second country ever to leave the UN's "least developed" list, after Botswana. Tourism now brings in about a quarter of the economy, money sent home by Cape Verdeans abroad covers close to a tenth more, and over 90% of the food arrives by ship. And on the island of Fogo, people live inside an active volcano. When Pico do Fogo erupted in 2014, lava swallowed two villages and the only road in, and buried the school under rock. Everyone got out alive. Then they moved back onto the cooled lava and replanted the vineyards, because that volcanic soil grows what nothing else on the islands can. They keep rebuilding on the thing that keeps destroying them.

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. 3.It 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

Education Crisis: Calls for Fundamental Change, Not Just Policy The Federal Government has finally admitted to its poor management of the education sector. Recently, the Minister of Education acknowledged that the policy separating junior and senior secondary schools has failed to improve educational outcomes. This is evident in recent examination results. In 2024, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) reported that only 38.32% of candidates passed English and Mathematics in the WASSCE. In 2025, only 32% passed the computer-based WASSCE. This poor performance has been consistent across major examinations over the past two years. This admission is tragic because education is the most vital contributor to human capital development, which forms the foundation for growth and economic development of any society. We cannot overcome economic stagnation without prioritising education, healthcare, and job creation to lift millions of unemployed youths out of poverty. As successful Asian nations have demonstrated, educational excellence requires sustained investment in curriculum development, motivated teachers, and better learning environments. Unfortunately, the government continues to neglect the sector. In the 2026 budget, education received only ₦3.52 trillion, just 6.17% of total expenditure, down from 7.87% in 2025, and well below UNESCO’s recommended 15–20%. This low allocation indicates a failure to recognise education as a driver of sustained economic growth. Education advocate, Mr Alex Onyia @winexviv , recently revealed that Nigeria failed to sponsor students to the International STEM and Mathematics Olympiads due to a lack of funding. It is heartbreaking that the government can sponsor hundreds to irrelevant international conferences yet fail to support its brightest students on the world stage. The Minister’s admission reflects a broader failure of public leadership. The issue is not the JSS/SSS policy itself, but the lack of commitment to properly fund, manage, and deliver quality education. In Anambra State, we proved that committed leadership can transform educational outcomes. Through effective funding, oversight, provision of laptops, generators, internet connectivity, and other learning aids, we turned the sector around. For example, our effort in providing computers across all secondary schools (public and private in the state) was recognised by HP Africa Head, who declared that Anambra had procured the largest number of laptops for school children of any subnational government in Africa. For the future of our society, we must deliberately invest in education, healthcare, and job creation. As I have always said, failing to do the right things is equivalent to abusing society, and the society we abuse today will take its revenge on us and our children tomorrow. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

We are all set for Rome: the students, the teachers, and the crew. History will be made for sure. Nigeria is the country with the most brilliant set of human beings, and we will prove it to the world.
