Just before I traveled to America, I called my dad and gave him my only car. he had sold his taxi 13 years ago so I could pay for my WAEC and JAMB examination fees. The joy on his face brought tears- it was the least I could do for my parents who sacrificed everything so I could get an Education.
It wasn’t clear how I was going to get a new car without spending a fortune but i had faith.
Yesterday, I got a call from @OluwatobiAjayiJ, the CEO of @nordmotion, inviting me to his office for a chat and a chess match. During our conversation, he proposed an outrageous deal: if I could beat him, I could choose any car in their showroom for free. Knowing he was a strong chess player from our previous game analyses(Although we had never played before), I accepted the challenge. After about an hour of intense play, I managed to win from a very complex position.
This all still feels surreal, but I'm thrilled to announce that I am now a global brand ambassador for @nordmotion motors and the proud owner of a NORD A7 suv built and assembled in Nigeria.
Life really isn’t scripted, and I’m super grateful to be able to use my gift to inspire the world and affect lives positively. This has inadvertently brought a lot of goodness my way too and this love is one I’ll never take for granted.
@jidesanwoolu Good job, govenor. Ghana attracts black Americans every year. Some moved to Ghana & of course, it boosts tourism on Ghana. Nobody knows we have a history of transatlantic slave trade in nigeria because we did not promote it. @ejdansu

@OfficialMasisi Partner with zoo to ship out. Keep record of the family tree of the elephants and which countries each goes. No need to kill them. The males testicle can be removed to control their populations.
@OfficialMasisi Rwanda is getting it. Foreigners pay alot in USD to see mountain gorillas. Botswana can do the same. Make foreigner pay alot to see the elephant. That will make them come more. Humans don't appreciate what is cheap.
@elrufai what are you doing to ensure all cow herders and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association registered their cow as a private business, stop grazing on private farmlands, ensure all cows are tagged and restricted to specific grazing zone?
@sam_adeyemi is the Nigeria Governors' Forum @kfayemi@elrufai thinking about sustainable & best practises for cattle breeding or are they simply only interested in herdsmen & farmers clashes.

@sam_adeyemi I agree with your contributions @elrufai what are you doing to diversify the cow economy and ensure the rank and file of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders have the right information to practise best pasture/farming practises https://t.co/OXDTE7xYMS
