American patriots rightfully felt humiliated on January 6, 2021 by the images of Trump MAGA mobs ransacking the US congress chambers and doors, breaking glasses, spitting on the carpet, seating in the seat of the Speaker of the House. It was so humiliating many people want to take him down.
After that big mess, Africa is the only place where Trump will be safe. We welcome everyone including the fools who deliberately attack us , calling us dog and cats eaters.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) created the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) to offer real-time access to election results straight from polling units.

The platform aims to enhance transparency in the electoral process and reduce the chances of vote tampering and manipulation.

IReV allows voters, observers, and interested parties to monitor ongoing elections and view results as they are uploaded. The platform presents images of election results from each polling unit, including the number of votes cast for each candidate and the overall vote percentages.

Step-by-step guide to checking INEC results using the IReV portal:

1. Access the INEC Result Portal: Visit the official INEC result website at http://inecelectionresults.ng.

2. Log In or Create a New Account: If you’ve used the portal for previous elections, log in using your existing credentials. If it’s your first time, click “Create New Account” and follow the prompts to set up your account.

What scrolls?

Una mumu never do?

Any white man can just come with any foolish paper and show you, and call it “scrolls” from the white man “son of God”, and you just accept it.

No research, no inquiry, no investigation, Nothing.

Who jazzed you people to be so naïve, trusting and foolish?

You are a disgrace. Honestly.

Oya take your own “SCROLLS” to London and tell them to change their beliefs because you have the “real truth” from your country.

Will they accept it?

NEVER.

So why would you accept their own?

This is why I say that whites did an OCCULT SPELL on you people to make you foolish.

Nothing else explains it.

See even on this thread where you are being shown the truth, complete with actual statues and images from over 5,000 years ago, you are still arguing.

Where is the statue of ‘Jesus’, ‘Mary’, ‘Joseph’, ‘Paul’ etc?

NOWHERE. BECAUSE THEY ARE FAKE AND NEVER EXISTED.

All you have is paper.

Nonsense.

China, Japan, India etc ALL observe their traditional religions.

Buddhism and Taoism with the Chinese, Shintoism with the Japanese, and Hinduism with the Indians.

That’s why they are so powerful.

Until you MUMU, FOLLOW FOLLOW MORONIC PEOPLE drop your colonial brainwashing, and go back and update and rebrand your traditional AFRICAN religion, and rebuild your ancient temples like others did with theirs, you WILL NEVER GET ANYWHERE as a people.

And you will NEVER be respected by the world.

I have lost count of how many times I have received that viral seven minute clip featuring the University of Ibadan taking on Kenyatta
University in the ZAIN Africa Challenge quiz involving universities from
countries across East, West, and Southern Africa. In just one week, it

Multinationals, gaming and FinTech companies, with their deep pockets, eagerly pour funding into these superficial initiatives. And what’s the excuse? "We’re just after the eyeballs." The question is, “Who created these monsters that are steadily and aggressively hijacking our future in the name of entertainment?” So, education no dey pay again? Now it's all about nude images on TV, chasing clout, and walking away with N100 million. We even have state governors dishing out heavy cash to help housemates win votes, but when a student emerges as the best in their university, their reward for five years of hard work is N100,000. Really? The unspoken question that should hover at the edge of our consciousness is – “For how long are we going to abandon education, the very engine of growth and development, and sacrifice it on the altar of this quest for momentary fame?” It's high time we saved ourselves, before the damage becomes irreversible.

Remember how the mathematics competition, Cowbellpedia catapulted Faith Odunsi to fame? The math genius who blitzed through 18 questions in just 60 seconds and instantly became a sensation. It is no surprise that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came knocking with a full scholarship offer worth over $400K to study Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. How about Oyindamola Aje, the 2019 InterswitchSPAK National High School STEM champion, who earned a scholarship to Texas A&M University, graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and now works at Chevron, California USA? These are just a couple of examples, but the list could go on. Out of over 200 million Nigerians, there are countless undiscovered geniuses, only because the opportunities to showcase them are few. Meanwhile, developed countries have ample programs that foster real growth, especially in STEM, and backed by quality government and private sector funding.

Stop disgracing yourself, you blasted mumu.

Should I flood this thread with images of the black PHARAOHS and BLACK Egyptians?

Can you handle it, because it will crash this forum.

Go on CHATGPT and ask AI the race of the ancient Egyptians.

It will tell you they were BLACK AFRICANS and that Egypt was a BLACK AFRICAN civilisation.

AI can access billions of volumes of historical texts and data, and tell you what was what, devoid of racist lies and obfuscation.

In fact you can go on ChatGPT now and tell it to give you an essay on the WHITEWASHING of African history, and it will tell you all the activities that whites have engaged in to deceive the world that the ancient Egyptians were whites, including smashing off the noses of statues and replacing them with pointy noses, and other acts of deceit and manipulation of facts.

You will also learn that ALL the Ancient Greek scholars who visited Egypt, from Plato to Herodotus to Aristotle, wrote that the Egyptians were BLACKS.

Ignorant people.

In this day and age you still don’t know your African history.

You are an utter disgrace.

That’s how these whites whom your ancestors raised from the dust are able to bamboozle and deceive you like children, because you refuse to read, research and learn.

They definitely cast a spell on you people.

OH SURE, white people left Europe 6000 years ago and went to Africa to build pyramids and temples that they could not build in Europe.

Meanwhile there are over 250 pyramids in SUDAN, many older than any in Egypt.

SHEER COMMON SENSE should tell you that it must have been the same black Africans who migrated up to Egypt and continued the pyramid building tradition there.

Tufia.

babasolution:


There's still no concrete proof if dey were blacks,atleast West African blacks, why do blacks never talk about Meroe or Kush which they are concretly linked with but only Egypt where there's still no concrete proof.

I have lost count of how many times I have received that viral seven minute clip featuring the University of Ibadan taking on Kenyatta
University in the ZAIN Africa Challenge quiz involving universities from
countries across East, West, and Southern Africa. In just one week, it
showed up in four different WhatsApp groups I am in, with comments like
“We should make this video go viral, more than Big Brother House” and,
to be honest, I agree.


Let us backtrack a few years. Do you remember sitting on the living room floor with your siblings, your parents relaxing on the big couch, all gathered around the TV, enjoying the very best of educational shows like Cadbury’s Pronto BrainMatch, Who Wants to be a Millionaire and many others like them? You remember the excitement in the room, the quiet anticipation as the questions rolled in because they were more than just shows—they represented a shared moment of family time, learning, inspiration, and pride.

In those days, intellectual development wasn’t just important—it was drilled into us by our parents. They made sure we knew just how much education mattered for our future, and, to be fair, we understood the assignment. We knew education had the power to shape the course of our lives.

The Pan Africa contest - Zain Africa Challenge, came on years later. The competition did not only celebrate knowledge but positioned itself as a catalyst for academic excellence and cross-continental unity. Featuring university students across Africa who did not need shin guards or sneakers to compete, all that was required of them was knowledge, wit, and, of course, a sharp reflex. The participants’ knowledge was tested across disciplines, including science, literature, history, and current affairs. The Pan Africa TV Quiz show with over $100K prize winnings and educational grants was like no other, leaving an indelible mark on young people across Africa. It was fun and beautiful to watch and just like that, suddenly, we watched as these fascinating edutaining concepts disappeared into oblivion, making way for less intellectual, more mind-numbing content.

Multinationals, gaming and FinTech companies, with their deep pockets, eagerly pour funding into these superficial initiatives. And what’s the excuse? "We’re just after the eyeballs." The question is, “Who created these monsters that are steadily and aggressively hijacking our future in the name of entertainment?” So, education no dey pay again?

While the aforementioned initiatives are making great strides at the high school level, the absence of a similar initiative for university students like the Africa Challenge leaves a gap in the academic landscape. University-level competitions not only offer a higher level of intellectual rigour but also foster cross-border collaboration, which is essential for integration in education and beyond.

Competitions have long been a powerful tool in fostering well-rounded education, providing opportunities to discover, reward, and test the abilities of future leaders. These shows push students to think critically and solve real-world problems—skills that are vital for national development. Whether in technology, agriculture, or health, the intellectual capacity required by these contests builds the capacity for innovation that every society needs. By making learning enjoyable, they inspire younger generations to value their education while offering a refreshing break from the rigidity of traditional schooling. This balance between challenge and engagement makes these shows indispensable, as they nurture curiosity while keeping education both accessible and appealing.

While the rate of vanity content increases, educational content is being pushed further into the background receiving little to no attention. Most of the funding and attention is directed towards reality shows and celebrity-driven competitions. Why invest in a quiz show that doesn’t have contestants throwing tantrums or performing stunts? We consume more gossip than knowledge, leaving little room for content that stimulates critical thinking and intellectual growth. Educational shows face stiff competition for audience attention, to networks that may prioritize high-revenue shows like reality TV or sports, making it difficult for educational programs to find broadcast time.

Funding and sponsorship of educational shows often require significant financial backing for production, prizes, and logistics. Without sustained sponsorship from private companies, government institutions, or philanthropists, these shows struggle to maintain the necessary infrastructure to stay on air or scale their reach.
We need to bring back shows like Zain Africa Challenge and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire—especially something that fills the void in university-level academic competitions in Nigeria. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about signaling a new era for intellectual contests in our universities. It will interest you to know that we have over 500 tertiary Institutions including 270 licensed universities all with a population in excess of 4 million undergraduates in Nigeria. We need shows that push students to think out-of-the-box, and tackle the real-life challenges.

To achieve all these and more, the task before us is clear, we must prioritize and invest in educational content. With the right vision, financial support and infrastructure, educational competitions will reposition Nigeria and her 60% youth population; thereby empowering a new generation of leaders who are not only capable of meeting global standards but surpassing them. The time to act is now—before we are too far gone.

According to Will Rogers, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” We need to stop making the situation worse and start taking the small giant steps, especially in STEM Education.

Kiss them even when they’re older.

Stop living in a mental prison that you build for yourself. Hug and kiss your children and tell them you love them. No matter how old they are.

One day you’ll die and those are some of the most tangible parts of you they’ll have with them when you’re gone. How beautiful are these images?
