Honouring Two Extraordinary Nigerians: Charly Boy and Newton Jibunoh

Yesterday, July 31, I attended the launch of 999: The Memoir of Charly Boy in Lagos.

Charly Boy is one of those people many may easily dismiss because of his appearance or the public persona he projects. But beyond that is Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, a thoughtful intellectual, a compassionate human being, and a patriot deeply committed to building a better society for all.

What particularly inspired me was the work he is doing through his foundation to promote men’s health. Having survived prostate cancer himself, he has chosen to transform his personal experience into a campaign for awareness, early detection, and improved access to treatment. Good health remains one of the most critical foundations of a productive and progressive society, and I am committed to supporting this noble cause.

Today, August 1st, I visited the newly established Newton Jibunoh Centre and Museum in Asaba, the brainchild of Newton Jibunoh. Although I was unable to attend his Mandela Day event, themed “Poverty and Inequality Are in Our Hands,” I considered it important to pay him a visit.

My dear Father, Newton Jibunoh, remains one of Nigeria’s living icons. He is a man whose stories, experiences, and wisdom can keep you listening for hours without fatigue. His remarkable road expeditions across the Sahara Desert to London, beginning in 1967 and repeated in 2000, 2008, and subsequent years, are enduring testimonies to courage, resilience, determination, and an adventurous spirit.

His extraordinary journeys also remind us of a period when travelling across Nigeria and beyond was far safer than it is today. Listening to him always leaves me reflecting on how much we have lost as a nation and how much work still lies ahead if we are to rebuild a secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria.

The baby is only part of the birth. There's another birth that almost nobody talks about. The PLACENTA. For 9 months, your body grows an entirely new organ, an organ with one job keeping your baby alive. It delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, filters waste and connects two completely different circulatory systems without ever mixing your blood. Then, minutes after your baby is born that organ detaches from the wall of your uterus, and when it does, it leaves behind a wound roughly the size of a dinner plate. About 10 cm across, that is why you bleed after birth, because your body is healing a wound. At the same time, your uterus, which stretched enough to hold an entire baby, is working around the clock to shrink back down to its pre pregnancy size. Those after pains you're feeling those contractions, they are your uterus, squeezing itself smaller while compressing hundreds of open blood vessels to stop the bleeding. Now imagine this. If you had a wound that size anywhere else, on your body, on your arm, on your leg, your back, would anyone expect you to be back at work in a week? Would anyone expect you you to entertain visitors? Cook meals, carry a baby day and night smile for photos and get your body back, of course not. You'd probably be in the hospital on a drip. People would tell you to rest up. They'd expect weeks of recovery, yet when that exact wound is hidden inside your body, the world acts as though you should be back to normal almost immediately. 6 weeks later, you go for your postpartum, check up. Many women think it's a milestone that says, wow, you've recovered. It isn't. It's simply checking whether the bleeding has stopped, whether the placental wound has healed and whether your uterus is recovering as expected. It is not a certificate that says your body, brain, hormones, identity or even nervous system have all returned to normal. So if you've ever been wondering, why haven't I bounced back yet? Here's the better question why were you ever expected to bounce back from something this enormous in the first place? Your body is recovering from one of the most extraordinary healing processes a human being can experience. Give yourself some time and space to recover.

The Fulfilment of Investing in Education

I was delighted to attend the maiden graduation ceremony of Millennium College of Nursing Sciences, Awka, an achievement that reflects the power of vision, commitment, and investment in human capital.

What gave me the greatest joy and fulfilment was learning from the Provost, Mrs Chisom C. Ezulike, that the initial support I provided served as the seed funding enabling the institution to commence operations seamlessly.

I was equally pleased to learn that my subsequent interventions significantly contributed to making today’s historic graduation possible. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing a small act of support blossom into an institution that is transforming lives and strengthening our healthcare system.

Nothing is more fulfilling than witnessing a modest investment in education grow into a thriving institution. Today, that same institution has graduated 116 pioneer students, who achieved a remarkable 100% success rate in the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria Professional Examination. This serves as yet another reminder that investments in education and healthcare are the most reliable investments in our nation's future.

I commend the pioneer graduating Class of 2025 and extend my congratulations to the Proprietor, management, faculty, benefactors, and everyone whose dedication and sacrifices have made this notable milestone possible.

Let us continue to invest in education, healthcare, and human capital development, for they remain the most assured paths to national progress and sustainable development.

My heart is heavy as I write this. I'm begging the general public to please come to the aid of my dear friend, Joshua (Amaechi Chidozie Joshua).

I’ve watched him build his business from absolute scratch with blood, sweat, and tears. But on Tuesday morning, around 8am, he called me in panic, his shop had burnt down overnight. Everything he owned was destroyed.

When I rushed there, I was speechless. My friend Joshua has not been himself since the incident.

He’s been suic! dal, left his house, and no one knows his exact whereabouts. He only responds to WhatsApp messages.

Joshua is a fighter, but right now he needs our help to stand again. He says with ₦5 million he can restart.

No amount is too small, every single naira counts.
Please, if you can support in any way, kindly send help.

Account Name: Amaechi Chidozie Joshua

Let’s rally around him. Retweet, share, and donate whatever you can. God bless you.

Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II

Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria

Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.

Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.

Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”

Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.

We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.

We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.

State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.

We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.

BREAKING: The most useless agency in
Nigeria @officialEFCC has kidnapped @Peter4Nigeria and @MamaPee__

They were invited and honoured the invitation but are missing since afternoon!

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Most people read 2 Corinthians 1 as though Paul is behind a lectern, delivering a settled theology of suffering from a position of comfortable authority.

But Paul is not behind a lectern, he is literally on the floor.

By his own account, he is utterly burdened beyond his strength, despairing of life itself, carrying what he describes as a literal death sentence.

Yet from that wreckage, Paul reaches for a specific title for God. The Lord of Hosts was available to him. The Almighty King was on the table. He chose neither. He wrote:

“the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.”

We know God is all-powerful, so we naturally expect His power to materialize as the prevention of pain.

We want the check to clear before the deadline. We want the rent covered before the eviction notice. We want Him to stop the earthquake, to freeze the tectonic plates before a single tile can fall.

But we are confusing mechanical power with sustaining power.

This is where the “God of all comfort” reveals its true weight. Comfort is not a soft anesthetic; it is God’s active presence inside the trouble.

His sustaining power doesn't pull mechanical levers from a safe distance. He climbs into the wreckage with you, holding your foundations together while the ground moves.

Mechanical power moves circumstances. Sustaining power forms people. One leaves you exactly as you were before the rescue. The other changes who you are at the level where it counts.

It is also the difference between stopping a needle and holding a child through the sting.

When my wife and I took our five-month-old son, Amaury, for his vaccinations, he locked his eyes directly onto mine the moment the needle went in.

I could look into his eyes through his screaming and sense what he was saying to me: Dad you are strong enough to stop this. Why aren't you doing something?

And he was entirely right. I am physically stronger than the pediatrician. I am his father, and legally they cannot touch him without my consent. The absolute power to halt the procedure was mine at any second.

Instead, I held his hands still while he screamed louder. I let the needle do its work. And afterward, I pulled him to my chest and held him while his whole small body shook with the sheer injustice of it.

Amaury did not have the framework to understand what I knew in that room. He didn’t know the sting was not the enemy.

He didn’t know the needle was the very thing protecting him from a much darker threat down the road.

My refusal to stop it was not indifference. It was the most painful, precise expression of love available to me in that moment.

To stop the needle is one kind of power.

To hold your child while it goes in, absorbing their confusion and their accusation without withdrawing, knowing something about where this ends that they cannot yet see, is another kind entirely. It requires far more of a father, not less.

If you are in the ruins right now, if the needle has been in longer than you think you can endure, and you have looked up with that accusation in your eyes, God has not moved. He is not across the room watching clinically. He is holding your hands, absorbing the weight of your confusion, and looking at an ending you cannot yet see.

He didn’t stop the needle. But He has never once let go of you.

Suspension of Examination Fees: A Victory for the People

I received the welcome news of the suspension of the newly introduced examination fees with relief. This is a victory for the Nigerian people.

While I commend the authorities for listening to the widespread public outcry and suspending the policy, it must be said that the fee was an unnecessary burden that should never have been introduced at this time of great hardship, when we should be doing everything possible to invest in basic education and reduce the millions of out-of-school children in Nigeria.

At a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet, access to education should be expanded, not restricted. Education is a fundamental right and a public good, not a source of government revenue.

Imposing multiple fees at the basic education level risks denying many children their right to education. At that stage, the State has a duty to invest in educating and preparing its citizens for productive lives, not to erect financial barriers that keep them out of school.

True leadership is demonstrated not only by making decisions but also by having the humility to reverse policies that impose unnecessary hardship on the people. Many other anti-people policies deserve similar reconsideration.

I thank the citizens, parents, and advocacy groups whose voices made this reversal possible.

Nigeria in Focus at the ECFR Berlin Roundtable.

Yesterday, at the invitation of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), I had the honour of participating in a high-level roundtable discussion titled “Nigeria in 2027 and Beyond,” held at the ECFR office in Berlin, Germany.
The dialogue brought together policymakers, diplomats, development experts, business leaders, representatives of international organisations, and members of the international media to discuss Nigeria’s future and its role in an increasingly interconnected global landscape.

Our discussions centred on Nigeria’s democratic journey beyond 2027, international affairs, development cooperation, and the need to strengthen bilateral partnerships that can accelerate economic growth and improve the lives of our people. A key focus of the engagement was how Nigeria can deepen collaboration with international partners to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), recognising that they remain the backbone of every productive economy and are indispensable to job creation, innovation, wealth creation, and sustainable national development.

We also exchanged views on strengthening democratic institutions, expanding trade and investment opportunities, promoting regional stability, improving governance, and creating an enabling environment that inspires confidence among citizens, investors, and Nigeria’s international partners.

I was encouraged by the thoughtful contributions and genuine interest demonstrated by participants in Nigeria’s future. The presence of senior representatives from the German Federal Government, development agencies, business associations, policy institutes, foundations, international organisations, and respected global media organisations underscores the strategic importance of Nigeria and the shared desire to see our nation realise its enormous potential.

During the discussions, I reiterated my unwavering belief that Nigeria possesses all the human and natural resources required to become a prosperous, secure, and globally competitive nation. What is required is competent, accountable, and compassionate leadership that prioritises investment in people, education, healthcare, productive enterprise, the rule of law, and strong institutions over politics of consumption.

Nigeria’s future is bright, but only if we make the deliberate choices that will move our country from consumption to production, from poverty to prosperity, and from division to unity. By embracing good governance, fiscal responsibility, and productive partnerships with the international community, we can build an economy that works for all Nigerians and restores our nation’s standing among the comity of nations.

I sincerely thank the European Council on Foreign Relations for the invitation and all participants for a frank, engaging, and constructive exchange of ideas. Conversations such as these remain vital in fostering mutual understanding, strengthening international cooperation, and building enduring partnerships for the benefit of Nigeria, Africa, and the global community.

We have been invited to Singapore for 2027. We will challenge their best students in Maths.

The winners of the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad will challenge the best in Singapore in 2027. 56 other countries will join too.

I like how the world is now taking an interest in our children.

I am benchmarking our education against that of Singapore, Finland, Shanghai, China, Canada, and the US.

This is how we can move from being a third-world country to a first-world country.

The future is looking exciting.

[YUA @creative_yua]

People keep asking what I meant by this.
Okay, fine. I'll give a detailed explanation below.

If a vendor tells you any iPhone uses "physical+ e-SIM," you should make sure to confirm the specific region of that iPhone.

Different iPhones are usually made for different regions and their features are not always the same, based on government regulations and unique market preferences.

If you want to know the region your iPhone is meant for, go to your phone's Settings > General > About > then check the model number.

Whatever the model number ends with indicates the region.

1.▫️ LL/A is for the United States:

From the 13 Series downwards, you can still find physical + e-SIM. But starting from the iPhone 14 series, all US models completely lack physical SIM trays and rely entirely on dual eSIM.

So, if a vendor sells an LL/A iPhone 14, 15, 16, or 17 for you, and it has a physical SIM slot, rest assured that phone has been converted. And it'll likely start having issues later.

2.▫️CH/A (China mainland) & ZA/A or ZP/A (Hong Kong / Macao):

Uses two Physical Nano-SIM.
The downside is that these iPhone models usually lack some features such as FaceTime audio and group chat, and the battery also tends to be smaller.

3.▫️ J/A (Japan):

eSIM & Nano-SIM.
These models still contain a physical SIM slot, but for regulatory reasons, the camera shutter sound cannot be turned off, even when the phone is muted.

4.▫️ AE/A or AB/A (Middle East - UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.):

eSIM & Nano-SIM. This region's models historically has restrictions on certain video-calling apps like FaceTime.

5.▫️ HN/A or IN/A (India):

eSIM & Nano-SIM.

6.▫️ B/A or UK/A (UK & Ireland); F/A (France); C/A or CL/A (Canada); ZA/A (Singapore/Malaysia):

eSIM & Nano-SIM. These serve as the standard "Global" versions that retain both a physical SIM tray and eSIM support.

⚠️ In addition to all these, the first letter of your model number also matters.

- M indicates a brand new device.
- F is an officially refurbished model.
- N is an official Apple replacement unit.
- P is a personalized/engraved device.

I hope you understand now.

Stay sharp! 🪒

Why didn't you sell this as a digital product?

I've been asked this question since that post blew up.

If you've followed me for a while, you know this has always been the kind of account I've wanted to build. I've spent the last two years sharing opportunities, teaching people for free, investing in strangers, and helping people land remote jobs because I know what it's like to have nothing. I'm not rich but I can make impact with my voice and influence my followers gave me.

I've spent over ₦4 million helping people. I've trained hundreds for free. I've built a community, a newsletter, and hosted Spaces where people come to learn, ask questions, and connect with opportunities.

Like is said I'm not rich but I can make impact with my voice and influence my followers gave me.

Could I have turned that Temu thread into a paid guide?

Absolutely.

Did I want to?

No.

The entire point of that thread was to show people that quality doesn't always have to be expensive.

A lot of people simply don't know what to look for. I didn't either. I've wasted money buying things that looked amazing online but turned out to be terrible. If sharing what I've learned saves someone else's money, I'm happy to do it.

Some people called it PR.

It wasn't.

Some people called it a marketing gimmick.
It wasn't.

It was just information I believe more people should have, especially in a country where every naira matters and people are trying to make the most of what they earn.

I'm not against selling digital products. I sell things too, and I believe creators deserve to get paid.

I just don't believe every piece of knowledge needs a paywall.

Sometimes the return isn't immediate revenue. Sometimes it's trust. Sometimes it's impact. Sometimes it's knowing that someone who couldn't afford to make the same mistakes you made won't have to.

For those who don't know me, I'm a Lifecycle Marketing Specialist and Email Marketing Specialist. I work with e-commerce brands and companies around the world from Nigeria, helping them grow through CRM, lifecycle marketing, and customer retention.

Outside work, I'm building products, communities, and creating content that helps young Nigerians make better career and financial decisions.

If you're trying to break into tech, land a remote job, understand marketing, or simply make smarter decisions with your money, that's the kind of content you'll find here.

This account has never been about pretending I've made it.

It's about documenting the journey, sharing what I learn, and making sure the people coming after me have a slightly easier path than I did.

I met this 21 years old girl with 4 kids already and she's heavily pregnant currently without having anything to eat for over 2 days (from what she told me) when I asked if she's okay and healthy.

She said that she's okay but it's just that she's feeling weak/deezy and that she haven't eaten for days now.

I immediately bought her and her kids a loaf of bread worth 2,000 and they finished it instantly due to hunger.

After she's done eating the bread I noticed that she's still breathing fast and feeling weak, I rushed to get hersr an oral drip to help give her strength and also know what next to do. But her breath gradually stabilized and got better after few minutes of taking the oral drip State).

Then I asked of her husband or the father of her kids the she started explaining that the man/guy suddenly changed all of a sudden without any tangible reason after he went for outside work/job in Nsukka (he stopped caring about her and their kids.

She said that she's from Ugwuaji here in Enugu here and the man is from Ebonyi states (I can't really remember where she said he's from in Ebonyi state)but they're not legally or traditionally married (they're just living together and giving birth).

She also said that her both parent are late and they're just 2 that her parents gave birth to (her and her junior sister).

I asked a business that she can do at the moment to be able to feed and take care of her kids and she made mention of roasting corn and pears but she needs medical attention because of her condition (pregnancy).

Please if you can help her with anything or any amount, please do because I can't do everything and care for her and others that I'm helping alone. 🙏

She didn't ask nor beg me for help but she actually needs help.

I'll be posting videos that i recorded that day and I'll be making videos about her soon.

Please share this post in all platform when you see it if you don't have the capacity to help her directly because her helpers might be in your contact, wall or friend list

Please contact/write me privately if you wanna help her or see/help her directly

May God bless you abundantly as you help and share

After hours of intensive learning facilitated by Coderina Edutech - a global outfit empowering young Africans through STEAM, robotics, tech entrepreneurship, etc -, my team and I engaged the Aguata champions in a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial.

The Memorial is a mind-blowing place of remembrance and learning, dedicated to the victims of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. It commemorates the 1994 Rwandan genocide and contains the remains of over 250,000 victims of the incident.

At the memorial, our amazing Aguata champions were exposed to a powerful experience focusing on the need to promote reconciliation and building peace through education.

It has been an experience of a life time for our champions, and we are confident of their transformation to becoming globally-minded young people ready to make impacts.

For them, it is a journey from Aguata to the world.
