The Top 100 Africa Future Leaders Empowerment Summit 2024 is centered around identifying Africa’s most promising young leaders—students who demonstrate a commitment to excellence, innovation, and impactful leadership. The goal of this rigorous selection process is to highlight and empower 100 exceptional individuals across African universities, recognizing their potential to shape the continent’s future.

Criteria for Selection:
To ensure that the chosen leaders truly represent the best and brightest, a comprehensive set of criteria was used:

We identified students who have gone beyond their personal achievements to create positive change in their communities, embodying the spirit of service and social responsibility.

The selection process was conducted in multiple stages to ensure thorough evaluation and fairness:
1. Nominations and Applications: Students from universities across Africa were nominated by their peers, faculty members, and academic institutions. An open application process allowed candidates to present their qualifications, achievements, and vision for the future.

Omoawoke:
After making so much noise on this thread, you did not still address the main issue, the miracle your pastor did, Shey na scam or no be scam?

Have you ever seen a miracle that's scam

And please don't tell me you watched! I mean something you experienced yourself!

The bad news is that

Your complain go end here!!! Nothing you fit do! Even govt no send you and your complain

Better go warm Eba and egusi

Sapasenator:
Then stop wasting my time. Bye.

Which time?? 😂

Omoawoke:
You had just one job, defend thief Jerry. Unfortunately, you did not say anything about the fakeness of the miracle, you keep running around the thread. Thank goodness phone can’t transmit body odor because the stench that should be coming from you is enough to suffocate everyone here

As usual, you go just open mouth waaaaaaaaaaahhhh

Michael547:
Can you mention a pastor that performs genuine miracles?

Do you worth my time? I doubt!

Sapasenator:
What arguments?

I asked for proofs not arguments. For example, Mr. A was healed, show me a medical report before and after the healing. That does not require any form of argument.

I don't think you worth an explanation talk less of proof. It's best to live you with your ideology! 😂

Funny Human! 😂

Omoawoke:
It’s easy to identify a nonentity, a loser and someone who’s handicapped mentally. You left the issue and started attacking personality, it’s very obvious you don’t have an answer to this thread. And it’s certain you are completely defenseless and have agreed that your pastor is a fraud, hence your only response is to attack me.
I feel your pains… and do I give a damn about you, no I don’t, I wish you die in those excruciating pains. Death to you and your thieving pastor Jerry.

Death to me?? You type such big words from that your china transion phone!!!

I can't die now chief, I'll die when I'm satisfied with life 😊

But because you've mentioned it, instant death rest upon you! Instant crucial death!

That which you wish! First take you! And end your mysery

Sapasenator:
Why is it a lie? do you have medical reports to back up claims of a genuine miracle you ever witnessed, or just hearsay?

Yes I have a lot, but are you worth the argument?

Omoawoke:
I foresee you entering a clinical depression and going suicidal. Are you sure you are mentally okay, is it a hereditary problem that you are beginning to sound like someone with paranoid schizophrenia?

gwo gwo gwo

Keep crying in the Quotes!

FRANCISTOWN:
The other day I said many mofolistic bastards on this forum are uneducated, yet they claim to know all. I'm not sure you have a first degree because if you had. You would have at least had a common reasoning.

Section 419 of the Criminal Code Act in Nigeria. Obtaining goods by false pretences
Any person who by any false pretence, and with intent to defraud, obtains from any other person anything capable of being stolen, or induces any other person to deliver to any person anything capable of being stolen, is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for three years.

If the thing is of the value of one thousand naira or upwards, he is liable to imprisonment for seven years.

It is immaterial that the thing is obtained or its delivery is induced through the medium of a contract induced by the false pretence.

Pretending to give people healing and to work miracles yet receiving money thru tithes and offerings is what?
Unless it can be ascertained that truly he gives people the healing,which I know it's fake. Otherwise he is a fraud and a scam.

People going there by themselves is not an excuse. People must patronize a business opening. Go school, you say school na scam.

If I reply you now
Them fit accuse me say I de follow mad*man argue

I rest my case,
Get some sense, maybe you go worth my reply!

FRANCISTOWN:
You are the one whose IQ is 0.whatever . Isn't he useless and trifling. How could he mess with a vulnerable person's condition. A kid for that matter.
I've said it. There are many psychopaths in this world, and I'm glad to let you know that you are one. You are psychotic, you are a sociopath and a psychopath. Because if you weren't, you wouldn't ever support evil things.
You and your useless religion. Don't worry, a time will come in Nigeria than people will be scared to go to church.

As expected. You type like one without sence😂
By their words you shall know them!!

Insults, and lots of emotions!

I expected that 😂

Omoawoke:
Na today, nothing like miracle. Human problems are solved through science and medical research. Pastors wil never go to hospital to perform miracles, always done in their church

Another lie....
Oooh I remember, I no suppose respond you!

Your Life don finish kpatakpata

Rexymania:
No pastor in Nigeria dey perform genuine miracle....all of them!

This is a lie

FRANCISTOWN:
The kinds of people I hate the most in my life are people who mess with kids. People who mess with kids deserve nothing but death, and not just death. The worst of death, like tying them to a moving truck and dragging them on the street until all their flesh peels from the bone.
People who mess with kids are the worsts of evil.

Says someone that life has almost finished kpatakpata 😂

Go and treat yourself first.

engrchykae:
it seems you are one of the fans of these criminals claiming to drink tea with God

Criminals?

Drink tea with God??

How many accounts do you have? Omoawoke and @sapasenator

Sapasenator:
Omoawoke, carry on Jere nothing do you.

Our people must be liberated by fire by force. Enough of these individuals using religion to scam and cash out from our people. If you get sued because of antagonism of religion, raise a GoFundMe and place a link here and you will receive millions in a couple of days.
With this article, you are doing the lord's work and it will be my lifelong mission to fight organized religion until our people are liberated and learn to think for themselves.

Scam and cash out?
Did he put gate fee in the event??

Did they force people to give?
Did they promise people money and never gave them?

I wonder if some of you think before typing.

Or just open your mouth and say waaaaaaaaaaa

Omoawoke:
You this thing, you go sleep prison las las. You are using a child with special needs to stage miracles, you and your uselesss thing called Jerry, una go rot for prison for las las. You no say Uk no send una papa, people whey dey jail Naija senator and pastors. You go die for cell…

Keep boasting

Do you want more evidence of videos to expose your fraud,? Did you have data to watch those videos to see nothing special other than fraud is what your useless thing called Jerry is doing ?

You keep using the word "useless" And "thief" In your statement and I can't help, but wonder if truly you have "sence?" Or you're bewildered by sentiment!!!

Funkyswagzz:
Transparency is the key to holding the government accountable. Dr Alex otti is making sure that nobody is left behind. A true leader remains true to his people.

Nlfpmob

Sadly this won't get much likes because Urchins no de here

Sunywa:
Are you in Lagos?
I can give you my iPhone X for the price.

can I see

This car use to be 12m or even 10m

While the lower version was about 4m


E reach my turn to buy car, price increase, nice one ooh😭

Dwightventures:
A nation of mouths having the highest tastes, while the nations that actually produce things are more realistic

Is someone dashes you a Volkswagen Beatle as at now. Please don't take it! For your own good!!!

It may be very strong but it's out of technology.

Modern technology and innovation has been added to the Android eco system.

Leave sentiments aside.

Ahhhhh airpod pro na 30k? 😂

Hhansome:
I want Nigeria to work.

Is it too much to ask?

Would really appreciate if you can niche down your request? So the government can take note of it
