For Nigerians in Canada, the UTME is coming closer to home. 🇳🇬🇨🇦 JAMB is working towards establishing a UTME centre in Ottawa, Canada, expected to commence operations in 2027. The proposed centre will make it easier for eligible Nigerians in Canada and across North America to sit for the UTME without travelling to Nigeria solely for the examination. It also represents a bigger opportunity to strengthen the connection between Nigerians in the diaspora and Nigerian tertiary education. More access. Fewer barriers. Closer to home. #JAMB #UTME2027 #NigeriaInCanada #JAMBUpdates #TheTrustWeHold #ThePeopleWeServe

You worked for years, bought land, built a house, opened bank accounts. Maybe bought shares, vehicles or even started a business. Then you die. Does everything automatically become your wife’s, husband’s or children’s property? Not necessarily. This is where estate planning becomes important. Take something as simple as a house registered solely in your name. After your death, your family cannot always just decide among themselves that “Mummy will take the house” or “the first son is now the owner.” Someone needs the legal authority to administer the estate. If you left a valid will, you would normally have named executors, the people you chose to carry out your instructions. Those executors can then go through the probate process to obtain legal authority to administer the assets according to the will. But if you die without a valid will, things change. Your family may have to apply for Letters of Administration so that authorised administrators can legally deal with the estate. And this is where a problem many Nigerian families know too well can begin. Who should become administrator? Who gets which property? Where are the land documents? Which banks did the deceased use? Were there investments nobody knew about? Was that property actually owned personally or jointly? Suddenly, something a person spent 30 years building can become the subject of arguments among people they left behind. Estate planning is therefore much bigger than writing: “Give my house to my children.” A good plan should make it easier to know what you own, where important documents are, who should manage things when you are gone and who you intend to benefit. Imagine having three properties but your children only know about two. Or having investments your spouse cannot identify. Or keeping the original documents for a house somewhere nobody knows exists. Your wealth may be real, but accessing it can become difficult for the people you meant to protect. This is why estate planning should not be something Nigerians think about only when they become very old. If people already depend on you, you own significant assets, or you run a business, you already have something worth planning for. Because building wealth is one job. Making sure the people you love can actually inherit and manage it after you are gone is another.

Now that the congratulations have whistled down a little, let me give some context. (Read to the end.) A regular Master’s can cost anywhere from €1,000 to €20,000+ a year, depending on the country and school. An MBA is a completely different beast. My IESE MBA costs €114,000 in tuition alone. About ₦185 million. That’s why many scholarships that fully fund regular Master’s programmes (tuition, living expenses, travel, etc.) either cap their MBA funding or exclude MBAs altogether. Chevening, for example, provides funding for Master’s programmes, but caps its MBA tuition contribution at £22,000. Erasmus Mundus specifically funds Joint Master’s programmes, not MBAs. (don’t wreck them 😅) So when you see someone willing to put over €100,000 into your education, it is a BIG deal. And when I said I received a 100% scholarship to IESE, I meant exactly that. My scholarship covers 100% of my €114,000 tuition fee. What it doesn’t cover, however, is my living expenses. So I’m sorting out rent, food and everything else myself. Which brings us back to my “Blessing Private Placement” exercise from months ago. You remember? 😅 Yes, people actually subscribed. That was largely to help me fund the living-expense side of this journey. A number of people here have known about my MBA since then because I privately sent them my proposal. I haven’t completely figured out the living-expense part yet, but I’m positive I will. The hardest part has been solved. I got here, and my tuition is fully covered. Now I’m just figuring out how to live here. And since it’s public now, I feel comfortable attaching the original fundraising exercise for anyone who wants to see it, laugh at the audacity of it all 😅, or feels compelled to add their quota.

An APC guy insulted me, so i followed him to the DM at around 11pm and asked for his account number, he sent it to me and I said 'I will send him money before he sleeps and i text him sent'. I did not send him the money, I just want him to feel how fake promises and propaganda of APC hurt Nigerians. He has sent me about 6 different messages claiming he didn't see the money and I replied he will see it when Nigerians see the benefit of Tinubu’s reforms he’s being lying about.
