King’s College Has Not Been Sold, It Has Not Been Offered to Us and We Have Not Bought It - Akpata
We are not interested in buying our school, the old boys community is ready to put together N100 billion, the monies are rolling in, we can’t just give the money to the school because we have done that before, but there are so many competing interests in today’s Nigeria.

Hello everyone! It's been a while, but the wait is over. Today, I'm breaking my social media hiatus with a special announcement.

Join me in this exciting chapter. Your involvement and support is crucial- let's do this together! @NgLabour #Edo2024 #OlumideAkpata #OluNaYourGuy #NewChapterFreshStart

MESSY AFFAIR
To be able to contest as governor /president who control Billions u need just O'level; (& u need not pass any subject either, just sit them)
But for a job of 100k in Govt, they will require University degree with yrs of experience. This CRAZY Constitution of ours🤔
Fear of witches, fear of death, fear of ancestral demons, fear of wife, fear of neighbour, fear of prophecies, fear of prophets, fear of success, fear of dreams, fear of hell, fear of fear... Why is faith in Africa so fear-denominated?!
The reason why when we look through the prism of our Pentecostal theology there appear to be fewer demons in Europe and the western world operating in witchcraft is that many of the things we attribute to demons is a result of poor planning, mental laziness, lack of skill...etc
The issue with funding is trust and trying to understand healthcare as a business. We need measures to allow people to redefine the sector because the Nigerian environment is not easy- Anthony Abou Nader, CEO of Tanit Medical Engineering at the #PHC4AllNaija Dialogue
“Though of many nations, we will not forget, that we all are brothers, with a common debt...” Final 30th anniversary reunion event: KCOB 8288 set at the Emir’s Palace in Kano, hosted by fellow King’s man, HRH Muhammad Sanusi II.
The more I learn about the healthcare sector in Nigeria, the more I believe that the sector need all hands on deck. From philanthropic dollars to private capital.
I have a Dream!
To build a spread of private grade schools across Nigeria and make Ivy League type education available to bright gifted students across Nigeria whose parents may not be able to afford such an education.
I have a dream!
To build the largest world class medical facility in Africa, fully funded by believers and providing medical care free or heavily subsidised to everyone irrespective of their religious believes, ethnicity or social strata.
I Dream! I Believe!
