Mathematics Is a Lifeline, Not a Luxury

Dropping Mathematics as a requirement for arts and humanities students may look like inclusion, but in reality, it’s intellectual disarmament.

Math isn’t just about numbers. It’s the language of logic, structure, and critical thinking, the very foundation of coherent thought, debate, and disciplined reasoning that the humanities thrive on.

Every field, from economics, law, and linguistics to philosophy and music, is quietly underpinned by mathematical reasoning: pattern, proportion, structure, rhythm, and evidence-based argument.

To remove Math is to unplug an entire generation from analytical literacy. You may raise enrollment figures, yes, but you lower the nation’s cognitive baseline.

If Nigeria truly wants to compete globally, we should be strengthening Mathematics education, not treating it as optional for those “not gifted with numbers.” That mindset fuels mediocrity.

Great civilizations didn’t grow by lowering the bar, they rose by raising competence and investing in skill mastery.

While nations like China are not only making Mathematics compulsory but also integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics into their basic curriculum, Nigeria is moving in the opposite direction.

In an era defined by automation, data, and machine learning, the decision to remove Mathematics as a core requirement for arts and humanities students is not reform, it’s regression. It signals a government more concerned with inflating admission statistics than preparing citizens for the demands of the future.

Mathematics is not about turning everyone into an engineer; it’s about teaching logic, precision, and structured problem-solving, skills essential in every discipline, from law to economics to literature.

Frankly, it’s shocking that Dr. Tunji Alausa, someone who lived and worked in the United States, would endorse a move this shortsighted. If he attempted this in the American system he came from, he would be forced to resign by morning.

Education policy should be about building competence, not lowering standards for easy applause. Removing mathematics doesn’t make education more inclusive, it makes it less competitive and ensures that Nigerian graduates will struggle to keep pace in a world run by algorithms, not sentiments.

No, you don't need a yellow card. You can travel with NIN if you are traveling in commercial bus. However, the delays are higher when you travel with your NIN and faster when you have your Nigerian passport.

Xpgroove, note that your Nigerian MTN will stop working the moment you get to Cotonou. You should buy a Ghanian SIM card once you get to Aflao. I think it's about 70 Ghana Cedis. That will enable you roam your Nigerian MTN line and stay active on WhatsApp while in Ghana.

Please note that things are by far cheaper in Nigeria than in Ghana. The Cedis just have numerical strength but economically useless. So, get ready to change tons of naira into Cedis at the Seme border or at Chisco terminal at Circle.

That's why you should get your to and fro tickets if you know for sure the day you are coming back because if you spent 100k going to Ghana, you will spend 150k coming back to Nigeria. That's because their currency no get economic value. And you have to pay in Cedis in Accra while coming back.

Please use an organised transport company like GUO, Chisco or GIG. Their fare covers everything you will need to tip border control and policemen. Enjoy your visit!

When criminals are caught, there’s no need hiding them from cameras. Let the world know how to be careful when around such individuals

The cost per kilometer of a 750km project cannot be determined. It can only be estimated or averaged. And conditions may change. This is not building a kiosk or chicken hutch. The terrain and soils are different. Some will need more work or fillings, some different contractors, some will be bridge. Cost of materials and labour from place to place, weather, some diversions, some unexpected challenges, all differ.
We should focus on intelligence, professionalism and patriotism instead of theatrics and media trials.

LGBTQ should not be added to people’s personal choices especially “ this force it on “people mechanism.

If it is not an issue to you it is a big issue to a [/s]few[s] [/b]so many[b] of us because as we speak against hard drugs or alcohol, the same should be done to LGBTQ nonsense.

Every human came from Black.
That has been proven countless times.
You can have white from black but not black from white.

Honestly, considering some policies and reforms by this government, it takes mind to initiate them in first term.
