Dear Blessing,
I just came across your tweet, and it truly inspired me.
To graduate with a First Class in Mathematics from UNILORIN and then earn a fully funded Master's admission in Italy is an extraordinary achievement. You have demonstrated excellence and the promise that exists in so many young Nigerians.
No young person who has worked this hard should have such an opportunity limited by the cost of getting there. It would be my privilege to support your journey by covering what is left in the cost of your relocation.
@nancy_i_i from my office will reach out to you today.
Congratulations once again. Go, excel, and continue to make Nigeria proud.
I graduated with First-Class Honours (CGPA: 4.76/5.0). I've already paid my enrollment fee using my tutoring savings and loans from friends.
I still need to raise €3,122 (about ₦4.9 million) to complete my journey.
“I bought the Mandilas building through a loan from Zenith Bank. The Lagos State government initially demolished part of the building and refused to rebuild it. After they gave me the approval to rebuild it, I collected another loan and rebuilt it. Now, the Lagos State government came back to forcefully take over the entire building from me.

So Warri Pikin reached out & said “Sis, I don tire to tell people I’m not the one running the World Cup pidgin commentary,let’s make sure folks know that it’s you.” We did.
A few hours later,a deal, 2 gigs & over 12k followers gained on all my platforms.

The Presidency says one man allegedly created a fake federal agency. It found its way into the national budget. It received public funds from a budget signed by the President. It operated from the Federal Secretariat. It met National Assembly leaders. It even engaged foreign ambassadors. Today, Nigerians are being told the agency never existed.
If that is true, this is no longer just about fraud. It is a national security failure. This is either a lie or a national security disaster that reflects the current state of our intelligence and oversight administration.
Think about what it means. An entity that allegedly did not exist was able to pass through layers of government without anyone stopping it. If the institutions at the centre of power could not detect it, how are they expected to stop terrorists, bring our school children home safely from abductors, fend off organised criminal networks or foreign actors exploiting the same weaknesses?
This goes beyond one individual. It exposes a state whose oversight systems may have failed at multiple levels. Nigeria does not have only a corruption problem. It has an institutional problem.
There has to be accountability. There has to be reform. Where failures are established, people should be held responsible. This should also trigger a serious national conversation about fixing the systems meant to protect the state before the next breach is even worse.
