🇳🇬 From Ado-Ekiti to the global stage! Meet Adeolu Oluwadamilola, a brilliant spark from St. Lawrence Metropolitan College, Ekiti State, representing Nigeria 🇳🇬 at the Spelling Bee World Cup in Shanghai, China 🇨🇳. Her journey is proof that with grit, no dream is too far. ✨
For the past few months, we have been closely monitoring our brother, Owoyomi Oluwasegun Emmanuel, a full-time Master’s student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Lagos (Matric No. R25430117).
After he began showing signs of mental distress, we took him for medical evaluation, where he was diagnosed with depression linked to prolonged emotional and stress-related challenges. During this period, he also experienced hand tremors (shaking of the hands). He received medical care, and we have been supporting him throughout his recovery.
On 5 July, he left home to buy yam and eggs but did not return. We tracked his phone and found him in Ologode, Ikorodu later that day and brought him home safely. Sadly, he left home again that same night, and we have not seen or heard from him since 5 July.
We are deeply worried about his safety and are appealing to anyone who may have seen him or has any information about his whereabouts to please contact us.
He is tall and was previously fair in complexion, although his complexion is now noticeably paler.
Please contact us through the following numbers:

Please help us find our brother. Any information, no matter how small, could help us bring him home safely.

Grateful to God for another year of life, growth, lessons, and grace.
Every year reminds me that dreams only matter when matched with discipline, resilience, and the courage to keep building. The journey has been far from easy, but it has been worth it.
The mission continues. Bigger goals. Greater impact. More lives to touch.
Here's to another year of purpose.
Happy Birthday to me. 🎉

Tonight, our nation has reason to give thanks.
The children and teachers abducted by Ansaru terrorists in Oyo State have been rescued by our security forces, alive and unharmed. No ransom was paid. No concession was made.
I salute every officer and operative whose courage, discipline, and professionalism made this possible.
To those who seek to spread fear through terror, know that the Nigerian state will pursue you relentlessly. We will protect our people, defend our communities, and never relent until peace and security prevail across our country.

This young Nigerian built a $10 million automated shoe factory here in Nigeria while sourcing 90% of its leather from Kano.
I like to promote and celebrate Nigerians adding value to Nigeria.
Currently in New York with one of our kids @chessinslums as he begins his sojourn towards earning the US National Master title under the supervision of Grandmaster Alex Lenderman.
We are all rooting for you Jamiu🇳🇬❤️. Give them hell!

Some years ago, I was seriously embarrassed in Dubai when all their POS machines refused to honour payment from my Nigerian Bank Card, even though at the time I had the GoldCard, which was issued to me by Access Bank.
I also had my ATM cards, which I had used on previous trips in other countries.
A lady bailed me out at the Thai restaurant in Dubai that day, as I had no other form of payment whatsoever.
I came on X that same day and asked if there is a Nigerian food vendor in Dubai who could supply me with food and get paid in Naira.
That was how someone reached out to me in my DM, and that was how I was able to survive in Dubai for my one-week trip.
When I got back home, I was told that only Providus Bank Dollar and GBP cards were working abroad at the time.
I had no option but to sign up with Providus.
A few months later, I lodged into the Courtyard by Sheraton Hotel in Heathrow and my Providus bank card (Naira card was rejected too)
Again, the embarrassment was phenomenal.
A sister in London became my saving grace. I depended on her to use her bank cards for my hotel booking, train ticket, Uber, food and other essentials.
She would pay and send me the bill at the end of my trip, and I would then transfer the funds to her in Naira or GBP.
I tried hard to get a bank account in the UK, the USA and Europe.
I spoke with a bank in Amsterdam, spoke with a bank manager directly, and I was told that as long as I don't have a residence address in the UK, I cannot get a bank account.
I remember another friend who gave me her Bank card and PIN to use, but I had to politely decline because I didn't want to be indebted in that sense to this particular person.
Because travelling is a prerequisite of my work, it was extremely frustrating not to be able to do so with ease.
I would watch other people use their phones to process payment in foreign countries, but Apple Pay refused to recognise my Nigerian bank cards.
Eventually, I was introduced to some banking apps like WISE, GraBify, Titan, Revolut, Chipper, Timon and many more.
These were foreign solutions introduced to the Nigerian Market because the financial system of the country was not rated as acceptable by global financial institutions.
My sister in Canada could open a PayPal account on my behalf using her Canadian address, but I couldn't transact anything financial on the account because I have a Nigerian passport.
I came to Ghana for the Flight two years ago with @YoungFemo_, and I had to change Naira to Cedis at the airport because my Naira bank card wouldn't work.
I missed out on a foreign trip to Dubai that same year because Nigeria was blacklisted by airlines due to the country's inability to remit funds to them in USD.
For that trip, I went as far as Cotonou to catch a flight to Dubai, but I was singled out of the passenger list as we were about to board because I had a Nigerian passport on me.
My mother was travelling to Nigeria from the USA, and she had to stay at a hotel in Miami. I booked the hotel on my Marriott Bonvoy App, but my Naira card was rejected, and I had to call another sister in the UK to bail me out so that my mother would be able to check into the hotel in Miami
I believe in Nigeria
I refused to leave Nigeria or have any property outside of Nigeria
I refused to raise my children outside of Nigeria
My destiny in Christ was as clear to me as day
I know what was written about me and my life in the volume of the works.
Though it was frustrating and people were blaming the governments of the day at the time on every side, I held on and believed that the glory of Nigeria would be restored
I refused to shop abroad because I believe it is better to add my two cents to the local economy
Since last year, I noticed that my Nigerian bank cards have begun to work again in foreign countries.
I was in Dubai, Aberdeen, Qatar, London, Rome, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Paris, Amsterdam and many other countries, and my Naira card worked seamlessly.
I came into Ghana yesterday, and I have transacted my business with my Nigerian bank cards on their local POS, and it worked!
Someone somewhere has done something to make it work.
Today, I am saying thank you to that "someone".
Whosoever you are, God bless you.
If you are more than one person, I pray for you that your policies and visions will set Nigeria up in such a way that squanderers who could come into power and set the country backwards will be unable to do so.
It felt very good to be able to use my Naira card again, especially when I got to Marriott, and they told me their POS can only accept physical ATM cards.
My heart skipped a beat because I had planned to rely on my Grabify app.
May God continue to bless Nigeria.

Two months later, after these eggs finished in the house, Hajia's review:
"The eggs you sent home have finally finished. Best eggs we have ever had in the house. They never spoiled, even when we traveled home for ileya. Maybe they didn't apply chemicals? Totally different from the ones we buy in supermarkets. Please order from same source"
@bossolamilekan1 you have converted us to customer. Please check your DM for order.
We recommend to others too.
Today, we will officially unveil the new Ogun State Drug Management Agency Warehouse, a major milestone in our administration’s commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery and enhancing pharmaceutical supply chain management across Ogun State.
This modern facility, which features over a thousand square metres of storage capacity and a fully integrated cold room, represents a significant improvement on the previous arrangement where storage and cold-chain facilities operated from separate locations. By integrating these critical components within a single facility, we are improving operational efficiency, minimizing the risk of stockouts, and ensuring the consistent availability of quality and affordable medicines for the people of Ogun State.
We express our profound appreciation to @GlobalFund for its invaluable partnership and support in making this project a reality. We also commend the Ogun State Ministry of Health and the Ogun State Drug Management Agency for their dedication and professionalism. As a government, we remain steadfast in our commitment to investing in critical healthcare infrastructure and innovative systems that will expand access to quality healthcare services and improve the wellbeing of all residents of Ogun State.
