A Nigerian Based American Lady, Melissa, shares a Touching story of a Nigerian boy who she picked on the street 18 years Ago (abandoned with a disease) she took care of him, treated, trained him in school, now he is a medical Doctor.

Read Her testimony Below;

Guys! I am so excited!!!!! This last week my “adopted” brother became Dr Paul.

Our family first met Anejodo Paul in a small remote village in central Nigeria about 18 1/2 years ago.

I remember my heart breaking when I saw this kid under a tree swatting flies away from the raw and open tissue on his leg that had been caused by a flesh eating bacteria.

Many months later, through the kindness of a donor in the U.S., he was brought to the SDA Hospital in Ile-Ife for treatment of his buruli ulcer related disease and complications.

Over a year later, he came home to live with our family so that, at 13 years of age, he could start school. Did I mention he was 13 and starting first grade?

And this week, he got the news that he has passed his final medical school exams.

Thanks to MANY miracles from God, the medical care provided by doctors at the SDA Hospital in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, the support of many who contributed to cover his school fees, and other needs through the years, his own persistence in spite of MANY obstacles, he is now Dr. Paul!!!



We are all so proud of you, Paul! And I can’t wait to see where God continues to take you on this crazy journey he has had you on.

And there are still kids that have suffered like him today because we have leaders that don’t understand that to lead means that lives have been entrusted in your care. How many more not as lucky as this young man have died different horrible deaths because we the voting populace have entrusted our healthcare and welfare to unscrupulous & unqualified people because of tribal affiliations and crumbs thrown from political tables?

Nigerian guys please we need to marry more white ladies into Nigeria so we can inject the blessed white race blood into Nigeria as a way of positioning Nigeria for greateness in decades or centuries to come if not, no hope for Nigeria!!

If you are a Nigerian guy reading this, please make it a priority to marry a white Lady before you die, even if you are married already, try and marry another wife and she must be a pure white lady, full blooded Caucasian white not wicked unintelligent religious fanatic Arabs, I said white!!


White people are blessed don't let anybody deceive you!!


Without white race, Borno state will be far better than South Africa!!

South Africa is a bit developed today, all thanks to white people from Netherlands!!


Despite using our national wealth she got freely as a gift from former Nigerian military president to become supposed richest woman in Africa, tell me how many people Mrs Alakija has helped with her wealth except snapping pictures up and down and intimidating other women

Despite looting our national wealth to become richest family in Nigeria, tell me what Abacha wife and family have done for the poor in Nigeria


Despite she and her husband looting Lagos state money dry, tell me what Senator Oluremi Tinubu has done for the poor and suffering all over Nigeria

Despite all the wealth, tell me what thief Rochas Okorocha's wife has done for the poor in Nigeria


All the rich black women and men, especially rich black women are wicked, mean and selfish!!

Black women will rather die than allow their wealth or money touch the life of others who aren't their immediate family members! That is why they maltreat their maids and treat them like animals that don't deserve to live!!

Black woman will be rich while her boyfriend is broke and struggling she will never help him for fear that he will leave her, but white Lady will help her boyfriend not minding if he would leave her or not, but black woman will only help if she will gain directly from the help, no selfless help from a black woman, all her help is for a profit!!!

Go to US, Europe, etc all the millionaires and billionaires have scholarships running into billions yearly they grant to all students who merits it thereby making schooling easy for the poor and broke but tell me how many scholarships Dangote, Adenuga, Arthur Eze, Arthur Nzeribe, IBB, Indimi, Otedola, Razaq, etc have running in Nigerian universities and polytechnics to help poor Nigerian students

Dangote only give small useless alms to only people in his village after becoming rich through Niger Delta crude oil!



Black man is the devil!!!!

God will continue to punish our leaders n d unflappable youths we have in this country..do I know how many young kids like this boy who have wasted in this country?
Why are you so obsessed with leaders? Do you need to be a leader to have compassion on another human being and emulate the good samaritan? Is Melissa a leader?

The problem as I always say is not necessarily leadership (after all the leaders are not imported from spain), it our value system of selfishness, greed and lack of compassion. Afterall, numerous rich men had passed the boy without batting an eyelid. Many people rush to churches and mosques jumping over the boy everyday. I am sure there were churches and mosques very close to the vicinity where the boy was found.

We need to reevaluate our value system to promote love, kindness and compassion.
