@EduEle5 @pdbraide Been searching for a church community like this and thought I found it but we didn’t show up to church for months and nobody followed up to find out why so we’ve obviously not found our church family in this city. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@GbemiOO @thefashionround Always assumed Weizdhurm Franklyn was a man. Interesting to find out she's a woman.

I stopped at a canteen to have some amala in Offa few days ago and a guy approached me.

I'm used to being approached everywhere and most times I even interject with "From social media abi?" once a stranger walks towards me in such manner.

"Sir, I know you? I was a student of the University of Offa and, last year, you came to our school to talk to us on career and encouraged us", the young man started.

He was wearing what appeared to be commercial okada rider jacket.

A few seconds of confusion. Do I have Twitter followers riding okada? This guy looks too polished to be an okada rider.

"I brought someone here", he added.

This looks like someone I need to have deeper discussion with so I gave him my Whatsapp number as I felt he was at the mercy of the passenger he brought.

Not in a hurry as I had thought as I still saw him after I settled at my table, so I asked him to grab a chair and let us talk the talk immediately rather than on Whatsapp later.

His story goes: He was an accounting student, and was encouraged by the career talk I had given last year and he had enrolled for ICAN ATS, passed stage 1 and expecting result of stage 2 he wrote recently. ICAN has 5-6 stages for ATS route (non-graduate route).

"So what happened? Were you rusticated?", I quipped, with each morsel of amala becoming heavier in my hand.

Then series of bombshells: He had lost both parents. He had been fending for himself almost all his life. He is in his mid 20s. He came to Offa from a nearby village five years ago, for NCE. He got admission into UniOffa as DE to 200L. He spent nights working at a poultry and days a student.

More bombshells: He dropped out in 300L when he could not afford school fees. He could not raise the school fees when he resumed 300L. The poultry work was stressful too. So he started doing okada.

More: His CGPA at the end of 200L was 4.0/5.0. A solid CGPA.

UniOffa school fee is less than N400k, one of the cheapest private universities in Nigeria.

ICAN is cheaper (less than N100k per diet?) but I told him immediately that that ICAN will be useless without a degree. He has to go back to school and complete the degree. Serious employer looks at your degree before your professional cert.

I'm on the Governing Council of the school (he didn't know - a surprise - and he probably thought I was just brought as an external speaker at that career event. And I didn't tell him.) I asked him to go back to the school and enquire whether he can resume the 300L that just started (his set are in 400L now but that shouldn't matter).

I have seen people struggle in life. Not the worst experience, but my mind kept flashing back. Someone is dropping out of school, from a brilliant 4-pointer accounting student to an okada rider because, all his life, he couldn't raise sub N400k. An amount some guys spend on a random night at a tier 3 club.

Touching.

Joe will finish that degree. In shaa Allah.

We have such dunderheads in AEPB because why will you be cutting down trees in the city in the middle of a heat wave which is expected to get worse?! @KeepAbujaClean @OfficialFCTA

@anafricandiva I am going to do this.

@Aunty_Les Jesus Christ! 1mn for makeup that you'll have to wash off before you go to bed is crazy to me.

[Uzoamaka @moadelekan]

Oh no! I’ll never forget the one encounter I had with him about 9 yrs ago. At the airport in abuja, I was travelling with my baby and he could see I was struggling with my bags and carrying the baby while we were boarding and stepped in to help. Such a fine gentleman and a kind soul. May his soul rest in peace and may his family be comforted.🥹

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹

Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

[Keston Kester @damolakeston]

@DailyMirror Multiculturalism at its best. ❤️Those who struggle with even the simplest GCSEs, yet scream “go back to your country” at every opportunity to anyone who doesn’t look like them,will never understand what this represents.We love you, Dr Asif Hasan,pride of the UK and the NHS. 🇬🇧❤️

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

I took the questions people ask me about solar and made a form.

Many homes buy solar twice: once from a sales pitch, then again to fix it.

Free sizing check: list what you run, see the inverter, battery, and panels you need before anyone quotes you.

PRESS STATEMENT
STAY INFORMED. STAY SAFE.

Public health is a shared responsibility, and the right information helps us all stay safe.

The Federal Government, working with the NCDC and relevant health authorities, is taking the necessary steps to protect public health and strengthen surveillance following the confirmation of an Ebola disease case in the FCT.

There is no need for panic. What matters is staying informed, practising good hand hygiene, knowing the symptoms and seeking guidance from public health authorities if you suspect exposure.

📌 Remember: Ebola spreads through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person who is sick or has died, or contaminated materials. It does not spread before symptoms begin.

For reliable information or to report a suspected case, call the NCDC toll-free line 6232, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Let’s stay calm, rely on verified information and do our part to keep our communities safe.

I think she knows she’s fighting a losing battle with this custody case but she’s continuing so that it’s on record that she fought to have access to and a relationship with her son. He can’t turn around in the future and say she abandoned him.
