In 2020, during the pandemic, I was homeless with no way to get home. Someone who had met me just once took me in, taught me independence, how to cook, and gave me a family.
Today, he needs help. My dad needs help.
Please donate. ❤️
Could you spare a moment to perhaps allocate Four copies of Nnamdi Azikiwe to my digital savings wallet and Please Do well to add 1 Obafemi Awolowo for electronic payment processing charge at the Point-of-sale stand.
A Benjamin Franklin could also suffice.
A friend's dad is currently battling prostate cancer.
Please, every donation and retweet counts.

Hi Everyone, please, we need your help.
My dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and our family is facing one of the hardest periods of our lives. We are doing everything we can to give him the best chance at recovery, but the cost of his treatment has become more than we can manage.
Emergency robotic sugery has been advised by the specialist and we have a 2 month window to get the best outcome.
We are raising ₦20m so he can receive the care he urgently needs. Every donation, no matter how small, goes directly towards his treatment. If you cannot donate, sharing this appeal would mean just as much, as it helps us reach someone who can.
All medical reports are available and will be made public.
Thank you so much for your kindness, prayers, and support.
It means more to our family than words can express.

Japan Is Turning Parking Lots Into Urban Gardens
What if parking lots could do more than accommodate cars?
What if they could help cool entire neighbourhoods?
Across Japan, green rooftop and canopy concepts are bringing nature into dense urban environments.
By covering parking structures with vegetation, these designs offer several environmental benefits:
🍃Natural cooling: Plants provide shade and cool surrounding areas through evapotranspiration.
🌳Urban biodiversity: Green spaces create additional
habitats for insects and other urban wildlife.
🌧️Rainwater management: Vegetated surfaces can absorb
and retain rainfall, reducing runoff.
🌞Energy efficiency: Shaded surfaces can help reduce heat absorption and lower cooling demand in nearby buildings.
🏙️Better urban spaces: Previously underused infrastructure becomes greener and more attractive.
The bigger opportunity is rethinking how cities use the spaces they already have.
Parking areas, rooftops and building surfaces can become part of the urban climate solution.
The cities of tomorrow won't just build around nature. They'll find ways to build nature into everything.
