The parents of a seven-month old baby, Wilson Eberechukwu, have cried out for help following the baby's medical condition known as Hydrocephalus and also being unable to take care of their child due to financial restraints.... The baby who is currently on admission with his mother at Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra state - has reportedly been in pains following the gathering of fluids in the brain.

Hydrocephalus (also called “water on the brain”) can make babies’ and young children’s heads swell to make room for the excess fluid. Older kids, whose skull bones have matured and fused together, have painful headaches from the increased pressure in the head.

I never like to boast, but I will make an exception today. I just successfully completed my MSc in Project Management! I graduated summa cum laude. Top of my class, with Distinction (1:1).

In addition to this laudable feat, I scored the highest grade on my Dissertation, which I am looking to publish soon. I scored nothing below B in all the modules I took during my programme.

Also, I have successfully completed my Prince2 Foundation, Scrum, Negotiations and Six Sigma Certificate Examinations.

Through my good networking skills I have a wide contacts base which consists of business partners and friends I have worked with.

As stated earlier, I’m not the one to blow my trumpet, but today I chose to applaud myself by sharing my success story. I believe there's still so much to do. I also believe that God that started the good work is able to perfect it.

A massive THANK YOU therefore goes to my Family, Lecturers and Friends that supported me throughout the whole process of my MSc programme.

I hereby dedicate all this achievement to my Great Community "IKORODU ORIWU". I promise to be a Good and Loyal Ikorodu Ambassador. May the Lord grant us all our heart desires.

Thank you all!
