Learning. Fun. Games
Covid-19 pandemic has changed the face of education and has given rise to various education technology, especially e-learning platforms, online worksheets, educational apps and games. Several schools transitioned to online and remote learning during the pandemic to ensure learning did not stop. In a post pandemic world, online education has become an integral component of […]
I wouldn’t be a songwriter if it wasn’t for books that I loved as a kid. I think that when you can escape into a book, it trains your imagination to think big, and to think that more can exist than what you see. Reading books like Wole Soyinka “Trials of Brother Jero” and Chinua […]
One of the key ways to promote effective learning for kids is by adding some fun elements. If children (no matter their age) aren’t having fun while learning, then their chances of retaining what they have learnt and thirsting for more knowledge as they grow would diminish. Today’s world doesn’t need children who get straight […]
Today’s primary school education focuses a lot on the core subjects – English, Math and Science. Subjects teaching Nigerian history have been relegated to the background or even eliminated. I am surprised to hear of “elitist” schools who practice a purely American or British curriculum and teach the Nigerian child completely NOTHING about their identity […]

“Mummy, when are we going back to real school?” My son was tired of online learning. Mummy too was tired and stressed out with the new challenges of online learning and remote working. Life during the COVID-19 pandemic was difficult for parents and children alike. The return to school is an important and hopefully welcome […]
It’s good to show your child that there’s more than one way to do something. For example, there’s more than one way to draw a person, build a sandcastle or play a drum. This lets children know they can develop their own ideas. You don’t need to give your child new or expensive play materials. […]
Sometimes it takes just a simple, heart-to-heart conversation to get kids thinking about God. “Do you feel the wind?” I’ll ask my four-year-old. I will tell her that even though we can’t see the wind, we know it’s there. We see the leaves blowing and hear the trees rustling — the effects of an unseen […]
For whatever one sows, that will he also reap (Galatians 6:7) I went to my office weeks after the lockdown was lifted and saw that some of the office plants were at the brink of death lol. The ones inside the office with no sunlight were almost dead but the ones outside did better. They […]
