Hello Everyone,
This is Ugwu Mark.
A UNN 500L pharmacy student.
He left the class to go pick up waybill-at the park and since then they’ve not seen him or heard from him.
He has been MISSING since Tuesday last week and they’re so many cases in UNN like this.
Kindly RT.
This is me shooting my shot at @GPBmadeit for an opportunity to audition for Children of Blood and bone.
My people, kindly help me tag and retweet until they see this.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 This would mean a lot to me.
Here’s a reel from a project I was on.
Hi guys.
My friend, Christianah, is fighting for her life with myasthenia gravis in UCH. We served together, and she’s such an important woman to me.
Please support her treatment financially in any way that you can.
You can also kindly RT for reach 🙏🏽
Thank you. God bless you.

“So, John joined our family last night.😊
I met John in April as one of the children who scavenge and beg within Lekki. It was on Admiral Ayinla Drive, front of The Place. It was a rough patch along the road so I was driving slowly enough to talk to him. I asked John what he wanted as if I had not seen him gesturing "I'm hungry, give me food". John’s prayer changed immediately. He said "I wan go school". That's a rare response from children on the streets for whom how to survive daily is everything.
John��s prayer got me and I wanted to know more about him and how he thought it would be possible to go to school daily from the streets. He is 14 years. His father and mother separated and both left last residence. He has no recollection of how he got to Lekki, the school he attended, or his last residence with his parents. He only recall that life has always been tough even before his parents were separated. He has lost count of years on the streets. He had no visible gaps in between his grimed teeth. It's all under a layer of decay. John has no brush and has been "brushing" with sticks for years. He has nowhere to bath daily or have a change of clothes or clothes to change. Most times, he wears a blue short sleeve shirt, the uniform of Meadow's Hall School, which he possibly picked from the bin.
I promised John he would go to school but we had to find out more about him and get permission from the government to take him from the streets to school. I continued to trail him on the streets to assure him that we were coming him. If John wasn't on the street where I found him, he would be in front of the Lekki Central Mosque in the company of other child beggars. I was worried when I couldn't find him again from around late June when we got the approval to do his rescue.
I was happy to find him again on Wednesday but I couldn't pick him at that time of the day and finish the processes for admitting him. We agreed to meet at same spot again yesterday.
John is finally with us, but it was hard convincing the police he was a child to rescue. We only needed the police extract of our report on him. We got that late last night, and it was like a real victory.
From the police station, we quickly entered Ebeano to get him a few clothes, tooth brush and underwears. It was all too surreal to John.
John started a new life. He took off the old dirty rag he had won for months. He scrubbed mouth with brush and generous tooth paste severally. He gave himself a scrub with warm water and plenty dettol.
When he got out of the bathroom and got into new clothes, he was no longer looking like the boy we took in. We asked him to take a look at himself in the mirror and he exclaimed "WOW". He was amazed himself.
The changed look is not the change. The real work of change is just beginning. John needs our prayer and support.
I hope he writes a story we all can be proud of.”

If you’re Nigerian living in Canada, pls avoid Editon Dental in Toronto like the plague. Especially Dr Mario Silva. My friend went to get her wisdom tooth extracted and he cursed at her, yelled in her face and walked away, mid extraction. Theyre also deleting reviews on google.
