Babu taught the periodic table by giving a formula of naming the first 20 elements of the periodic table that left his viewers amazed by his mastery.

A section of his followers used the opportunity to slam Education PS Belio Kipsang for trying to stop such lessons.
The controversial ODM legislator has defended his online classes, saying they are meant to help KCSE students during the school disruption occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic.
He told his viewers not to be intimidated by PS Kipsang’s remarks, saying he does not know what he is saying.
"The PS is basking in the glory of his ignorance by banning our lesson,” he said as he concluded his lesson.
