Schools are supposed to be safe spaces for learning, growth, and development. But in many parts of Nigeria today, schools have turned into zones of danger and discomfort—with crumbling walls, leaky roofs, broken desks, and pit latrines that pose health threats. These facilities don’t just reflect decay—they represent a lack of political will to prioritize education. ⚠️ The Reality on the Ground Take a walk into public schools in remote and even urban communities in states like Benue, Ebonyi, and Zamfara, and you’ll find: Dilapidated classrooms with falling ceilings No running water or working toilets Exposed electrical wiring and leaking roofs Overgrown compounds with no fencing or security In a school in Oyo State, students take turns sitting during lessons because there aren’t enough chairs. In another, during the rainy season, pupils are sent home because the roof is gone and floods the classroom. These are not isolated incidents. They are widespread and worsening. 😔 The Hidden Imp...

  The Nigerian education system is plagued by many issues—dilapidated infrastructure, underpaid teachers, outdated curricula. But one silent killer eats deeper than all: the replacement of merit with money . In schools across the country, students from less privileged backgrounds find themselves locked out—not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack influence. Consider Fatima , a student from a public secondary school in Kano who scored high on her university entrance exam but couldn’t gain admission. Why? Her spot was sold to the child of a politician, whose grades didn’t even qualify. This isn’t just a one-off tragedy. It’s systemic. The Cost of Replacing Merit: Demotivation: Hardworking students see no reward. Brain Drain: Our best minds seek fairer systems abroad. Corruption Pipeline: Children of privilege often don’t feel the need to work hard, perpetuating entitlement. National Decline: Mediocre minds making critical decisions for our future....

 Education, often described as the backbone of any nation, is crumbling in Nigeria. The signs are glaring—mass failure in national examinations like WAEC, NECO, and JAMB has become an unfortunate norm. Every year, statistics reveal a shocking reality: thousands of students fail to meet the minimum requirements for higher education. But while the blame is often thrown at students, a deeper look from a student’s perspective reveals a more complex picture. 1. A Broken System from the Ground Up From dilapidated classrooms and outdated syllabuses to unqualified teachers, the Nigerian educational system is riddled with problems. Students are often taught to cram, not to understand. Most secondary schools, especially in rural areas, lack basic facilities—no libraries, no laboratories, and sometimes, no teachers for critical subjects like Mathematics and Physics. When the foundation is weak, how can the structure stand? 2. Teachers Who No Longer Teach, Just Talk Many teachers, especially in p...

An AI tool that takes screenshots of Microsoft users' laptops every few seconds will not be released next week due to security concerns. One cyber security expert believes that criminals may "grab and go" with the function. According to a Thursday post, Microsoft will make Recall available to its testing group, Windows Insider Program, "in the coming weeks" rather than "broadly available" on Copilot+ PCs on June 18th. "This decision is rooted in our commitment to providing a trusted, secure, and robust experience for all customers, as well as seeking additional feedback," wrote Microsoft vice president Pavan Davuluri. One cyber security expert told Sky News that the feature was a "grab and go" target for criminals, which prompted the delay.

 The 50-year U.S.-Saudi petrodollar deal expired recently. Global crude oil transactions employ the U.S. dollar, known as the “petrodollar”. After the U.S. left the gold standard in the 1970s, the US and Saudi Arabia made a pact that had far-reaching effects on the world economy. Few global financial accords have benefited the U.S. economy as much as the petrodollar pact. Good for U.S. Bonds After the 1973 oil crisis, Saudi Arabia agreed to price its oil exports in U.S. dollars and invest its surplus income in Treasury bonds under the petrodollar agreement. The U.S. protected the kingdom militarily in return. This deal gave the U.S. a dependable oil supply and a captive debt market, while Saudi Arabia received economic and overall security. Reserve Currency status Oil denominated in U.S. dollars is significant beyond oil and finance. The deal made the dollar the world's reserve currency by requiring oil sales in DXY. This has greatly affected the U.S. economy. American consumers pa...
