Nigerian-American founders Ikenna Nzewi and Uzoma Ayogu are transforming palm oil processing through @Releaf. Their innovative technology has made processing dramatically more efficient, helping farmers get more from their harvests and attracting more than $10 million in investment. A powerful story of innovation, entrepreneurship, and #AmericanExcellence in action.

Angels broke Paul out of Prison, not to help him escape, but to baptize some of his Followers, and then returned him to his Chains before a single Guard noticed he'd ever been gone.
The Acts Of Paul records it directly, while imprisoned at Ephesus under the Governor Hieronymus, awaiting Death by Wild Beasts, Angels appeared to Paul carrying spears that illuminated the entire Darkness with their own Inner Brilliance.
By that Power, his Fetters simply loosed, and he was led down to the Sea to baptize his Followers properly, before being brought back to his Cell and his Chains refastened, utterly undetected by the Men guarding him.
Then came the Arena, Hieronymus turned Paul loose before a Crowd of Wild Beasts and Lions specifically gathered to kill him.
According to the Text, one Lion released against him was the very Lion Paul himself had personally baptized Years earlier in the Wilderness outside of Damascus, and the two of them recognized each other instantly and the Lion refused to harm the Apostle Paul.
Furious, Hieronymus sent more Beasts and Archers against them both.
God answered with Divine Judgment from the Sky itself: a sudden, violent Hailstorm fell from Heaven, crushing the heads of Men and Animals across the entire Arena, killing many immediately!
The Hail itself tore off Hieronymus's own ear in the middle of all of the Chaos, and the Governor, struck down in the middle of his own Persecution, converted on the spot alongside his Followers and received Baptism.
Not one Hailstone touched Paul or the Lion standing beside him.
When the Storm finally passed, Paul and the Lion parted ways peacefully, the Lion returning freely to the Mountains, and Paul sailing onward to Macedonia, untouched by Beast or Heaven's own Hail alike.
The igbos needs to start speaking up else a time will come, we won’t be able to defend ourselves anymore…
If you are one of those who have lived in the heavily yorugba-dominated parts of Lagos, you will understand what this guy said in this video.
There is something I have noticed some yorugba parents do. If their child has Igbo friends, they discourage them from getting too close to Igbo people.
Then they start bringing up historical issues, including things that happened before colonialism, and use those stories to shape how the child sees Igbos today.
A child will taught from a young age to dislike Igbos without ever having experienced anything personally from an Igbo person. The child grows up carrying that same hatred, and eventually you meet adults who dislike Igbos but cannot even tell you what an Igbo person has personally done to them.
This is also one of the reasons I believe Igbos need to speak up more when they experience this kind of thing. If you constantly allow one narrative to dominate the media space, people will eventually hear only one side of the story.
If we don’t, a time may come when we will struggle to defend our history, our culture and our traditions.
