That boy who was orphaned at 8, homeless at 9 and afterwards, hawked for over 6 years and rejected by family is now a University of Ibadan law graduate!!!
Wanted more, but grateful for the journey and a 2:1!
Pawns can indeed become kings in life's chessboard.
Thank you, Jesus!
Co-founders 🤞🏽, life partners ❤️
Dedabox started with a simple question: What if you could receive a surprise box every month, filled with things thoughtfully chosen just for you?
One conversation later, Oyinda and I turned that idea into reality.
Together, we built Dedabox: a personalised gifting experience where every box is curated around your interests, personality, likes and dislikes. Think exciting discoveries, new brands, thoughtful gifts and a little surprise every month. No two boxes are ever the same, and we even tell you why we picked each item for you.
From building the app and reaching out to hundreds of brands to packing our very first boxes, it’s been a journey of turning an idea into something real.
It is important to make this post for the very first time we started packing these boxes because the next time we take a picture, It’ll be from a warehouse with a lot more boxes! ❤️
Today, I'm convoking for the second time at the University of Ibadan, this time as a Master's student in Sports Business and Marketing, Human Kinetics.
To top it off, it's my birthday too. 🎉🎂
Double celebrations, indeed.
Nobody knows tomorrow keh? 🥺
But in Nigeria, a whole Oba is attending the naming ceremony of a convicted pedophile. Like men and women alike are doing photoshoot to attend the naming ceremony of a convicted pedophile!!! Known “celebrities” attended the naming of a convicted pedophile/rapist.
Story: Nigerian-American police officer, Sinmi Asomuyide, bags 40 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 14yo, girl he rescued following a 911 call.
He denied, tampered with evidence, until dried semen was recovered from his car and the DNA matched.
Asomuyide 33, and another cop responded to a 911 call from a man, reporting that his 14yo teenage daughter had runaway from home in Indiana, on June 30th 2024.
They eventually found her at a friend’s house and took her to a youth centre.But, Officer Asumoyide had other plans.
While at the centre, he switched off his body camera and used the girls phone to call his personal TextNow line, before authoritatively questioning her about her sexual experience and activities, matters irrelevant to the 911 report.
Then he searched her, found a vape pen, took it, and told her he’d contact her later to return it. Before she left the station Asumoyide also collected her social media handles.
He later continued contacting her under the excuse of returning the vape he seized from her during the search. That same evening, he requested for overtime at work claiming he needed more time to complete some paperwork till about 12 a.m.
Instead, the Nigerian-American officer went to the girl’s home, demanded to speak to her privately as if for investigations, then handcuffed and took her to an empty warehouse car park in his uniform and patrol car.
There he uncuffed her, moved her to the front seat, forced himself on her, cuffed her again and drove her home.
Fortunately, she bravely informed her family who immediately escalated it prompting an Indiana police and FBI investigation.
A week later, Officer Asumoyide was questioned. He totally denied.
He claimed, she was the one who contacted him on his work phone and he didn’t know how she got his number. Perhaps, she overheard him calling it out for a colleague at the youth center.
However, forensic investigations carried out on his phones showed he deleted chats, and recently googled “how to delete TextMe account” “Delete TextNow account”.
Also, dried semen matching his DNA was found at the centre console of his patrol vehicle after forensic examinations. — he was subsequently dismissed from the Kokomo PD, Indiana.
With overwhelming evidence, the ex-officer was indicted for sexual assault and attempting to mislead investigators.
He was convicted of kidnapping, abuse of power, sexually assaulting a minor, lying and tampering with evidence, and sentenced to 40 years in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release.
The Judge described the experience as a horrific episode for the victim, hoping she’s able to recover.
The plot thickens..
During investigation, the FBI discovered that Mr. Sunni Asomuyide previously had intercourse with a 15yo minor while he was a police officer at Portsmouth PD, Virginia, resulting to his resignation.
When he moved to Indiana, he claimed he was forced to resign because they found him “hanging” out with a 17yr old girl, who told him she was 19.
This incident of course also influenced his judgement. He was convicted in June 2026 before receiving the 40yr sentence in November. 33yr old Asomuyide will be out in no time, at 73 in the year 2066.

Look at your life and the progress you have made in the last 4years, ask yourself if it is commensurate to the level of work you put in, ask yourself if what you earn can sustain you if you constantly choose to eat whatever you craze everyday.

I almost lost my mind trying to copy and paste. I resulted to screen recording, crop, send to myself on WhatsApp as GIF, copy from WhatsApp and paste back to myself on WhatsApp then save.
