He's battling kidney failure. He need transplant and Okwuluora is calling for help. From the voice you can get the account or go to his Facebook page and donate, if you wish.
Thank you all. One love ❤️
I kept writing and sketching out every idea I didn’t want to forget as I prepared for this case study.
Vandalized a white envelope and turned it into my rough sheet for throwing ideas😅
Some felt great, some felt repetitive, some felt like they didn’t support the entire theme.
i built something small for myself during a season i really needed encouragement.

Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.
Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.
Rest in peace to my neighbor.
🎉🎉🎉 Six months ago, I started at Paystack as a Design Engineer, and it's been one of those full-circle moments.
Throughout my career, I've explored a lot. I started as a frontend developer, gradually leaned deeper into UI design, found a niche in iconography, and generally just followed my curiosity, building on the web, exploring what excited me.
Now I get to work where both worlds meet. Sitting at the intersection of design and engineering, being able to leverage all the skills I've gathered over the years, feels surreal.
Cheers to continuous exploration and building on the web. I dare say, come as you are, and the world will morph to make room for you.
built my personal todo app, i wanted something simple, fun and to explore my interaction skills.
no due date, no tags, it has only one layer of priority and with gestures you can prioritize, delete and drag.
also, checkmark emojis burst when you check an item done and also when you change the list emoji.
The PVC Registration will reopen May 4 to end finally on August 17.
Please let’s find a way to pass it on our street to any one you can see.
Spread the word in your day to day gatherings. Church, Mosque, work, restaurants.
Nigerian has happened to me 😭😭
They just kidnapped my two younger brothers on their way to Otukpo to write Jamb.
They are just teenagers.
I have been trying to reach those two boys since yesterday evening. I tried now and a police officer picked the lastborn's call.
