The above is within the context of my 2021 post on social media and is in no way presumptuous but uprightly to inspire - I could not enroll at a tertiary institution in 1997 because my single mother did not have the funds. If free SHS was available back in the day, most likely I would have graduated in 2000/2001.
My career took off and I have been blessed but as someone who relishes education getting that degree was just a matter of time.
I complete my Masters program this December and I am sorely motivated and committed to go even beyond, God willing.
I thank all those who supported me and is supporting me during this journey.

As his 60th birthday approaches, veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has disclosed how he has broken the specter of death in his family since he turned 59 years old, IgbereTV reports.
In an exclusive interview with Nigerian journalist Chide Jideonwu, the actor has revealed that he had broken the specter of death ever since he turned 59 years old even as he anticipates 60 years in a few days.
He disclosed that his parents never lived up to 60 years old as they were both diabetic and hypertensive.
In his words;
“None of my parents lived to be 60, so life for me is just about to get started.”
“There’s been a specter of death around my life, that’s what I’ve been dealing with last year till this year. When I turned 59, it was a big deal for me, a big deal for me! My mom died at 59, my father died at 57/58.”
“So, it was like, can I break it? When people see me and I go on a weight loss, people think that… you know, it’s health. Both my parents were diabetic and hypertensive, I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to be diabetic and hypertensive, I want to be healthier. At least give myself a fighting chance to change that whole cycle. Yes, I’m a Christian now, so I’ve broken that yoke but I have to also help myself.”
“Becoming 60 for me is even a bigger deal, so when July comes and I become 60. You know how the Bible says old things have passed away, I will truly become a new man because that is when I’ll make a bucket list. So all these things that you think I’ve achieved or done, for me it’s nothing, like zero.”
“So I’m going to now sit down when I’m 60 and do a bucket list … and then we’ll start.” This was such a heartfelt moment. Eish. It’s such an honor to do this show”
Nnamdi Kanu Was Not Arrested. He Handed Himself To Nigeria Government - Mazi Rich Israel
A statement credited to Mazi Rich Israel has said that IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu handed himself to the Nigerian government and was not arrested, IgbereTV reports.
The statement reads:
"MNK was advised by his international consultants and legal experts to hand himself over to the Nigerian government through the interpol, who are in charge of his safety throughout the period he will be in detention of the ZOO.
The international community is about to ask Nigeria to conduct a referendum but Mazi Nnamdi Kanu needs to clear his name and his organization first from the terrorism charges placed against him by the Nigerian government, as the international community cannot oversee a democratic referendum with someone who is still proscribed by the country he's seeking right for self-determination from.
This is why they have attempted to assassinate his lawyer Barrister lfeanyi Ejimofor, knowing he has a lot of evidence to use and win the government in the court of law. Remember, in the past few months, IPOB has made revelations about thousands of dollars being paid to hire international consultancy firms, those firms owe IPOB credible services.
Believe it or not, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wouldn't have just been given Biafra while he remains abroad broadcasting on Radio Biafra. International diplomacy have rules. During his years in exile, remember he is been to the United Nations, he is met several international diplomats. Remember he said few months ago that he will lead the battle from the frontline, the battle has begun. Remember he has been silent since the past 2 weeks.
If you think a figure as popular as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu can just be "rearrested" by Nigerian government, then think again. Many Biafrans needed the presence of their leader in Nigeria for the final push to freedom, their dreams have come true. As it stands, Biafrans may be emotionally drained over the news but in the next few days, they will bounce back stronger. The whole world is watching. Biafra + Oduduwa loading...97%.
STAY STRONG BIAFRANS, THE SUN IS ABOUT TO RISE AGAIN."
I See Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Returning To Nigeria - Prophet David Kingleo Elijah (Throwback Video)
Three months ago, a Nigerian pastor identified as Prophet David Kingleo Elijah of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church in Lagos, said that he saw the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, returning to Nigeria, IgbereTV reports.
He said that while revealing two other things he said God showed him in the realm of the spirit.
Before Nnamdi Kanu's current arrest and his subsequent arraignment at the Federal High Court Abuja today, he was first arrested in Lagos on treason charges in 2015 but escaped from the country in 2017 after an alleged attack on his home following his release from prison on bail. After his escape the IPOB leader continued his campaign for a Biafran nation but has since not returned to Nigeria.
For the second and third revelations, Prophet David said he saw a secret that has been covered for a long time get opened and also saw protests across the country.
It is not clear whether these separate events are connected to Nnamdi Kanu's return but the prophet advised that all parties should come together for a dialogue.
The Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Drainage and Water Resources, Joe Igbokwe took to his Facebook handle to rejoice over the arrest and arraignment of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, today, IgbereTV reports.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that those waiting for Nigeria to break up into bits will be sorely disappointed.
According to IgbereTV reports, the Vice President said this at the maiden edition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Progressives Youth Conference on Monday June 21.
Yemi Osinbajo added that in the area of disruption and disruptive innovation, the principle that we are stronger together than in little part is a sound principle and he is of the view that those advocating for the country to disintegrate are terribly wrong.
He said;
“In the area of disruption and disruptive innovation, the principle that we are stronger together than in little part is a sound principle and it is my respectful view that those who advocate the breaking up of the country are terribly wrong.
“Our size is crucial for geopolitical and economic relevance. Our people will be better served by a large populous and diverse country. As with all big and diverse countries, our business is to make this union work; it is to give everybody a sense of belonging.
“All of those waiting on the sidelines, hoping that this big country called Nigeria will break up into bits so that they can pick up the pieces, will be very sorely disappointed and I am very sure that those of you who are seated here today will prevent that from happening.”
Acknowledging the need for all Nigerians to be guaranteed a fair chance at improving their human condition, Osinbajo urged young Nigerians to be a part of conversations that will ensure this.
He added;
“I am also frankly not very impressed with the notion that the role and power of young people are somehow postponed until elders have gone, or that there’s some kind of generational queue that to which we all must subscribe.
“Even if that was true at some point, today, that notion stands on very weak legs indeed.
