Do you know what's more painful about Ochanya's predicament?
She was doing so well in the village school. She said she wanted to be a medical doctor when she grows up.
Winifred's mum returned to the village one Christmas.
Decided to take Ochanya to the City to get good education since she was sound and intelligent.
And that was the end of her dreams, her ambition, and her life.
Winifred's dad and brother raped her for five years till she d!ed.
Guess what!
The rapists children are doing so well in life.
Winifred is now a lawyer and a social media influencer.
Victor is doing so well in his musical career, and he's about to release a track.
Ihotu, the rapist's last born who was in the same class with Ochanya just got admission to Benue State University.
Ochanya would have been 20years now, and probably in her 100level studying her dream course, Medicine and Surgery in Benue State University.
But she was used as the sacrificial lamb.
Can I tell you something?
Ochanya has come back to demand for justice.
This time around, with you, I and millions of Nigerians solidly behind her shouting for justice.
This time around, we will not allow the case to be swept under the carpet like it was in 2018.
Until justice prevails, we remain Ochanya's voice.
Remember, silence in the face of injustice is INJUSTICE—and evil.

As undergraduates with no business acumen, my friends and I joined competitions not only for prestige, but for survival. The prize money, many times, was our lifeline.
Almost a decade ago, we were invited by UNILAG to participate in the Taiwo Afolabi Maritime Blueprint Debate. @ifeakinteye, then President of the Maritime Club, asked @OJayansola and me to represent OAU. But there was a problem: we had no transport fare to Lagos.
We checked the prizes for 1st–3rd place and told ourselves there was no way we wouldn’t make the top three. We borrowed money for the trip, confident that even third place would cover our transport back, repay our loan, support the Association, and keep us afloat.
We arrived at UNILAG determined. We prepared like our lives depended on it, because, in a way, they did. After the first round, however, we were announced as eliminated. I buried my head in my hands and said to @OJayansola, “Ah, ti wa ti ta, a ma rin lo si Ife loni” which can be translated to mean “We’re ruined; we’ll have to trek back to Ife today.”
Then, a few minutes later, the organizers discovered a mix-up: we had actually topped that round. I screamed, not just out of joy, but relief. We went on to the finals and eventually came second, right after UNILAG.
The reward was Prize money, new mobile phones, and a special dinner with Dr. Taiwo Afolabi himself, who even sponsored @OJayansola to New York for another conference.
That experience wasn’t unique; it was our reality back in OAU. When others saw us as overprepared or intense, they didn’t realize that winning was our only ticket home.
This is the lesson for me: you don’t need two or three or four things to make a living. Sometimes, you only need one. But you must pursue that one thing as if your life depends on it.
Tragedy strikes at Adekunle Ajasin University Gate again
After losing over 30 lives in the hands of Dangote truck few years ago
A Dangote truck had a brake failure today
It destroyed the permanent barricade at the school main gate and over 10 students lost their lives
My ex roommate was into some stuffs and I advised her against it. And she said "you wey still dey use Android in 2025 dey advise me?" 😂😭. Ah.
I went out and bought dark shades, I no dey see anything again.
One thing I’ve learnt in this life is that the fact that it’s late doesn’t mean it still can’t happen.
Everybody in your circle might be winning and it seem you’re forgotten, it doesn’t mean things can’t change for you suddenly and you even become richer than them all. That’s life, our timing are different.
Keep working and believing until your time comes.
In this university that I’m currently running my masters.
There is a massive laptop locker that allow students to borrow laptops for as long as 3 hours.
After your 3 hours, return it and you can borrow it again.
Meaning you can complete your university studies without having to own a laptop.
Which Federal university in Nigeria has this facility?
This is the one that’s important to me right now. I just want mother and son to go home without hospital bills hanging on their heads. Please help if you can, thank you 🙏🏿
