Blessing Akpan

My mission is to harness technology to make learning accessible to everyone, everywhere.

[Blessing Akpan @beethelighted]

At 22, I was selected as one of the inaugural community leads for the GW Google initiative, WomenWill. Despite being the youngest member, I took on the role in Uyo, where I spearheaded programs to empower and unite women in entrepreneurship & leadership.

Skills that will quietly make you irreplaceable in any Nigerian company:

1. Advanced Excel or Power BI
2. Clear business writing
3. Basic project management (every company needs this)
4. Stakeholder management
5. Understanding of how money moves in your industry

Nobody is teaching you this in school.

Why exactly are we celebrating Children’s Day today for?

Kids as young as 2 years old were kidn@pped, held in captivity and God knows what they are doing to them. What is the government doing??? What are Teachers doing??

[Hauwa 🌟🌬 @Hauwa_L]

Nobody is safe in this country and the earlier we realise it, the better.

If you’re woman, they’ll rape and kill you.
Man? They’ll kill you and post it.
Child? They’ll whip you and pour melting plastic on your body.
Months old babies too, kidnapped and raped.

[Hauwa 🌟🌬 @Hauwa_L]

You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.

[Blessing Akpan @beethelighted]

Oh, to be overwhelmed and frustrated by the work you once prayed for…

[Rinu Oduala 🔥🔫 @SavvyRinu]

Beheading a whole person in front of me will send me into psychotic shock. Imagine doing that in front of abducted children in a country where they’ll never get comprehensive mental help.

Your life is as good as destroyed even if you escape. Please guys, we must end APC today!

A Nation Losing Its HUMANITY.

Some events shatter a society so deeply that words are no longer enough to express the shock; the brutal killing of a teacher and the horrific rape and murder of an elderly woman are among such tragedies. These are not isolated incidents but signs of deeper moral and social decay.

How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly—custodians of memory and wisdom—suffer such dehumanising violence?

This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable.

To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough.

We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity. -PO

Today I am sharing my last short video on how to leverage social media for storytelling. I hope you feel inspired to tell your story on social media and you find the courage in your story. Storytelling changed my life and open doors of opportunities and possibilities for me. It was one of the ways I found my voice and uniqueness and to advance social good.

If you have enjoyed these series, let me know what you think. I would be recording and filming new set of videos before the end of the year, if there is a topic you would like to see, kindly let me know in the comment section and to rewatch the full video, subscribe to my YouTube Channel below and watch the videos too.

@TeweDami My role model 😊

[Blessing Akpan @beethelighted]

I left my offline job in Nigeria to pursue studies abroad with just $750 against $10,000 in tuition and living costs. I took the leap into the unknown - today I earn over 30x my old salary and I’m graduating with flying colors.

- Due to stress, and unnecessary delays in my first degree, I terminated the program at 3rd year out of 4 to start over in another program, now I’m on first class and wrapping up in 2 months.
