💔 Kidney failure has turned every day into a fight. Dialysis keeps me alive, but the cost is becoming impossible to manage alone. Your donation, share, or prayer could help me keep going. 🙏❤️

Something happened today in Imo State that touched me deeply. Her name is Nzerem Blessing Kamsiriyochukwu and her mother sells corn on the streets in Owerri.
She is in JSS 3 and heard about the 2-week technology bootcamp with NITDA that we will be having in Enugu starting on Monday.
We told them we couldn’t accept students from states outside Enugu because we don’t want to cater to the logistics for those outside Enugu.
Her mom pleaded and gave her all she had (₦120,000) to move to Enugu from tomorrow for 2 weeks and join her peers to get the training.
It’s so touching to see her mom sacrifice everything just for her daughter to get an education.
She said she would rather stay hungry but will give her daughter every opportunity to get educated.
This is the spirit that defines us.
HAS JANUARY ALWAYS BEEN THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR?
January comes from the Latin word Januarius, which was named after Janus. Janus was an ancient Roman deity who was the guardian god of portals, gates, and doors.
Janus was the patron of beginnings and endings. It is depicted as having two faces, one in front and the other at the back.
In the initial Roman calendar, which had only 10 months, the year began in March. In that ancient calendar, January and February were completely missing.
The 60 days that were later designated as January and February were too cold and were seen as useless to the farmers. The period was not even given a name. The two months, January and February, were only added in 713 BC.
Despite this addition, March continued to retain its position as the first month of the year until about 153 BC.
Being the patron of beginnings and endings and a deity with two faces, Janus was deemed fit from 153 BC to occupy its present position as the first month.
It uses one face to say goodbye to the ending year and uses the other to welcome the coming year. January maintained this position in the Julian and in the present Gregorian calendars.
Do you now realise the connection between the ancient Roman culture and the present European and world civilizations? Do you see that no reasonable person disconnects himself or herself from his or her roots?
Do you realise why the academic world no longer tolerates the words pagan, idolatry, fetish, and uncivilised when referring to a culture, religion, or people? Yes, if any culture, religion, or people can be called pagan, idolatrous, fetishistic, or uncivilised, none would escape it.
Imagine that Janus were to be an African deity. I tell you, many African Christians would never celebrate crossover nights because night and darkness have nothing in common.
Yes, many of us who refer to ourselves as believers should rightly be called self-haters. We just hate ourselves and anything that has a connection to us. We need to restore our brains to factory settings; otherwise, we are gone.

A boy and a girl are dating. The boy has a great job, a comfortable apartment and a car. All the girl has is a soft body and a pretty face, but it is the boy who is lucky? Okay.
The boy makes 500k+ a month. The girl is still being fed by her parents, but it is the boy who is lucky? Okay.
From that 500k, the boy is paying her bills, taking her on dates, even covering bills for people he's never met in her family. But it's the boy who is lucky? Okay.
And then when he eventually breaks up with the girl & walks away, he's the one who "fumbled" and "lost a good one?" She's the one who "Dodged a bullet?"
Delusion is a beautiful thing.
Incredible doc!
Nigerian surgeon temporarily removes baby from womb at 23 weeks, removes tumor, then puts her back and she was born healthy at 36 weeks.

I have launched the actual test of this AI Glass that I built to help blind people and people with visual impairments
I started testing it directly on the face of a person with a visual impairment to see how it would work in real life👓
And what amazed me the most is that after the blind person wore the glass, he said that for him, it was amazing
Watch the video in English below ⤵️
This project of mine is getting close to where I want it to be
And the world wants to see it in action
She has most definitely changed my own life too. I bless the day i was shown her instagram freestyle o. And she has been nothing but a dream Starrgirl.
Mrs. Calista Ifedi, a food vendor in Enugu, was taken from Igboland and detained in a faraway prison in the North in 2021.
She passed away in detention after five years without trial. She was a mother and a wife.
May her soul rest in the bosom of the Lord. 🙏🏽
UPDATE on the tense situation in Onitsha: By all means, the government should forbear the deployment of soldiers in response to the tense situation which was triggered by the reckless shooting of a youth. To now deploy soldiers to the area will surely escalate the situation. It doesn’t need soldiers, it needs civic leaders and sincere assurances of accountability.
Our stars are now improving on air balance of the drones through the direct application of calculus and aerodynamics.
The landing isn’t perfect yet, but they are all racking their brains to make it work.
This will be the future of our education.
Our future is exciting and inspiring.
