If you are ever applying for a fully funded scholarship like Chevening, please aim to go to top schools like Oxford, LSE, Cambridge or Sussex.
You have an option to choose three schools, don’t under sell yourself by picking 3 low-tier schools. Please pick at least one top school, one mid level school and one low-tier school. It is the same effort and if you get the scholarship, you will be funded anyway.

The quality of a country cannot be better than the quality of the citizens building it. This is not rocket science. Demand high quality public education for the average child. Like we say in Nigeria, “E get why”. May our tomorrow not be same or even worse than today.

Imagine a fake video of a presidential candidate conceding defeat circulating on election day. Or a genuine recording being dismissed as AI-generated.
Both are increasingly possible.
How prepared is Nigeria for this ahead of 2027?
I explored this in this new analysis for Premium Times.

At a time like this, this is the kind of daring journalism society needs.
47 days travelling as one of thousands of African migrants trying to reach Europe through the Sahara and the Mediterranean just to document what happens along that route.
I am really looking forward to reading this investigation from @fisayosoyombo. This is serious journalism!
I spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea.
Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.
