One of my biggest dreams is to build a company that creates opportunities for women who started later than expected.
Internships and graduate trainee programs for women in their late 20s and 30s. Remote jobs for women in their 40s and 50s.
“Hello I am a serving Corp member here in kebbi state, one day I visited an orphanage within the vicinity and I met this young boy named uzochukwu, he is a Christian, he is four years old, he was kidnapped and resold, the policemen caught the kidnappers, took them to court and kept all the children in a Muslim based orphanage home. Uzochukwu speaks igbo fluently and he said he's from St Teresa nursery and primary school 33 nmafam ( he is not sure if the school is at enugu or onitsha) he is in nursery 2. Please you can help uzochukwu to reunite with his family by rebroadcasting this message to anyone who lives in enugu or onitsha or someone who knows the school. Uzochukwu said that he grew up in the village. The orphanage home is here in Birnin kebbi”
Please my baby sister has been kidnapped and I genuinely don’t know what to do. She travelled from Lagos to the east(Nnewi to be precise) and we haven’t heard from her until they called with her number and started demanding for ransom. I’m going crazy, someone please help
They said I have from now till 8pm to send 15m,it was 30m initially and I begged, they said 15 and ended the call. My brother in the east went to report and they said it should be done in Lagos since she left from here, I tried and they suggested the east. God please 🙏
A pretty big hotel in Lagos stopped by to talk about a partnership for my exhibition. They suggested I paint portraits of their guests for their holiday event for N100k per portrait with a profit split

Last year, only 4% of Gambians passed WAEC. The country reached out to me and requested I should intervene.
I had couple of engagements with them and also opened up educare exam system for them.
I have received a lot of positive feedbacks from them already. I expect 40%.
Riot games reached out to me, asking me for recommendations for a young Nigerian music musician to star in Valorant and make a record for them.
Glad we made the right decision. Congratulations Qing Madi, aka Mary Ade.

I ordered 1000 pieces of low cost and fairly used Lenovo Thinkpad from Germany and will be ordering thousands more in the coming days.
I want to make it easy for schools and students to get low cost efficient laptops for learning.
The spec is Core i5, 256 SSD, 8gb ram and Gen 6th and 7th mixed.
We can’t keep giving excuses to schools in remote areas. We need to rapidly digitize everywhere. I’m also searching for reliable solar solutions with payment plans that can work across our schools.
Laptops are expensive right now whether new or used. So getting deals can help our schools digitalized much faster.
We’re proud to announce that St. Claire Records has signed an exclusive distribution partnership with Warner Music Africa and Africori — a major step in our mission to elevate bold, genre-defying African music to the world.
The future sounds beautiful. #WeAreStClaire
About a year ago, I got an invitation from the Future London Academy, one of the world's most prestigious creative leadership schools where business and design leaders from companies like Uber, Google, Dropbox, and Pentagram teach directly.
My immediate reaction? "There's no way I can afford £35k for this program." I nearly deleted the email on the spot.
But sometimes, life has different plans.
Days later, another message arrived mentioning a £20k grant opportunity. With nothing to lose, I submitted my application. In less than a week despite being in the final batch of interviewees, it became official. I have been accepted into the Executive Program for Design Leaders at the Future London Academy.
It’s been my dream to get structured learning in design. But this opportunity isn’t just about me. It's about the many creatives that get to indirectly benefit from the knowledge I gain from this.
However, this opportunity comes at a huge financial cost.
The tuition fee is £35,000.
Through the £20k grant, support from friends and family and good-hearted donors like you, I’ve covered over 95% of the total cost (£33,300k).
Now, I have just £1700 left to raise, with about 24 hours to go.
So I need your support.
I’m raising funds online, so everyone can support this cause. See it as an investment.
Support this campaign, and you become part of a larger story: bringing world-class design leadership principles back to Nigeria's growing creative economy and helping develop the next generation of design leaders.
Here’s how you can donate:
* GoFundMe (for international donors): https://t.co/D99pDSg7SO
* Direct local transfer: A/C 0059957511 — Access Bank
* Sooseed (for Nigerian donors): https://t.co/W4ip2Mruhb
Every donation matters. £10, £50, £100, or even a simple share.
Or help spread the word by reposting with #30days2raise£8k.
Thank you for being part of this journey. 🙏
This Michael’s result is very special to me. Two years ago she scored 281, last year 311 and still couldn’t get into medicine. When this year’s first result came out, she was given 148.
Now after the resit, she scores 360.
Her dream of becoming a medical doctor is here.
I’m happy we didn’t fail her and thousands of other brilliant students.
