I am seeking investment for CHOPFAST, a fast and reliable food delivery platform connecting customers to local vendors, focused on quick delivery, scalability, and improving everyday food access through an efficient, tech-enabled system.
DM @CHOPFAST_Nig or Dm me
I understand your concern, @Oluwabunmi63697. The sight of children begging on our streets should trouble every Nigerian.
I established the American University of Nigeria as a practical investment in education and the development of the North. If profit had been my primary motivation, I could easily have located the university in Abuja or Lagos, where the commercial advantages would have been greater. I chose Yola because I wanted to invest in my people, create opportunities, and bring world-class education closer to a region that had long needed greater access and development.
And as I have publicly stated before, this university is not my personal property or that of my family. I have already signed a deed of gift transferring it to the community. AUN belongs to the community it was established to serve.
Beyond its classrooms, AUN created the Feed and Read programme, providing vulnerable Almajiri children with daily meals while teaching them literacy and numeracy. Through its Technology-Enhanced Learning for All initiative, AUN also helped more than 20,000 internally displaced children learn to read through educational radio programmes.
Following the Chibok tragedy in 2014, seven years after I left office, AUN awarded scholarships to young women who had escaped Boko Haram, giving them an opportunity to rebuild their lives through education.
My conviction remains simple: every child belongs in a classroom, not on the street with a begging bowl. Whether in government or outside it, I have always sought to turn that conviction into practical action. -AA
I remember in 2020, I was in a talking stage nd never billed this woman, 2weeks into it she asked me why I haven't asked her for money like other men and I said that's not how I'm raised, this woman sent me 15 million naira
We met in 300 level. She was the loud one in class, I was the quiet one. But somehow we fit.
3 years of prayers together. 3 years of “after NYSC we’ll do it.” Her mom already called me “son.” My dad was saving for the bride price. We even picked a date. December 16th.
The last thing the pastor said before the introduction was, “Just go and do your medicals. It’s a formality.”
We went laughing. Holding hands.
Two weeks later, the results came.
*AS + AS*
The nurse looked at us and sighed. “You can still marry, but the risk for your children is very high. Sickle cell.”
We went home silent. That night she called me crying.
“Do you want our children to suffer, babe?”
I didn’t have an answer.
We tried to find a way. Prayers. Options. “Maybe God will do a miracle.” But both our families sat us down. Both pastors. Both doctors. The truth was the same.
We loved each other enough to let each other go.
On December 16th, there was no wedding. There was just me, in my room, looking at the suit I bought and the picture of us at the beach.
People say “there are other fish in the sea.”
But they don’t tell you what to do when that one fish was the whole ocean to you.
I still wish her well. I heard she’s married now. To an AA.
And me? I’m still learning how to love someone without seeing her face in it.
Because he's working with NURTW means he can't travel to London?
I've worked with them couple of times as a Transport Management Student and I can tell you that those AGBERO's guide die.
People wey dey get 50 naira in cash for office.
Don't look down on those egbon oh.
There’s this NURTW egbon I used to greet on my street. I haven’t seen him in almost 2months. Saw him now. I told him it’s been long only for this bro to say “‘mo sare lo wo awon temi ni London ni jare padi mi”. Ahaha not that I’m looking down on him o but as how now 😮
