A man has sued Bugema University, Luweero District, Kampala, for banning all female students from wearing dresses above the knee, jewelry, lipstick, sleeveless and open tops, coloured nails, trouser, within the school premises.
In the suit before the High Court, the petitioner, Mr Ronald Bwire, claims that on December 12, 2018, the University issued a notice banning female students from wearing miniskirts, ear rings, necklaces, bangles, sleeveless and open tops, coloured nails, lipsticks, trousers and dresses that stop above the knee.
Bugema University announced the ban in a notice dated December 12, 2018.
“No student should come back with the above mentioned next semester. Culprits will face university disciplinary committee for serious action,” the notice warns.
Mr Bwire says the ban is a violation of female students’ right to equality, dignity, freedom of expression, conscience and culture.
“The impugned notice is threat not only to constitutionalism and rule of law but also to Uganda’s efforts to respect, promote and uphold rights and status of women,” the suit reads in part.
Mr Bwire contends that besides causing distress, physiological torture and inconvenience, the University’s directive has lowered the dignity and status of women generally.
Through his lawyers Mayende & Associated Advocates, Mr Bwire wants court to order the lifting of the ban and compensation with costs of the suit
Ahmed Musa’s Mother is Dead. Sarah Moses, died today, Thursday 24th of January 2019. Her Death was announced by the footballer himself on his Twitter page just moments ago.
Sharing the sad news with his followers on the Micro-blogging platform, Musa wrote he was feeling very sad. He shared; “What a sad day of my life,just lose my mum ?????”
Sarah Moses single-handedly nurtured Ahmed and her other four daughters when her husband passed on 21 years ago.
In the year 2017, she graced the unveiling of the N500 million sports fitness centre in the ancient city of Kano built by her son, where she described Musa as a philanthropist who has touched so many lives with his wealth. She said back then;
“he has been the bread winner of the family and even our extended family members. He is taking good care of all of us.”
According to her, contrary to insinuations that Ahmed Musa hailed from Jos, Plateau state, the mum said, “he is actually from Maiduguri in Borno state. I am the second wife to the late father who died when Musa was seven years old.
“I am a Christian from Edo state and the father Musa was a Muslim—this is why I am bearing Moses. The father was a kind and caring man; a very generous man who took care of all his wives before he died. I am happy today to see my last born being celebrated by the small and mighty. So, I thank God for him and I am fulfilled.”

The former Chelsea midfielder who became a free agent in November after a two-year spell with Tianjin Teda in China passed his medical with Tony Pulis’ side without a hitch after agreeing on personal terms.
Mikel who won both the Champions League and Europa League with Chelsea told the club’s website: ‘For me, it’s looking at the project.
‘I spoke to a few clubs and I also spoke to Tony [Pulis], had a good chat with him. ‘He’s told me where he wants to go with it and it definitely fits with what I want to do.
‘The club wants to get promoted so hopefully, I’m here to help in any way I can. ‘It’s a family club and this is what I want. I like stability and this is why I was at Chelsea for a very long time.’
Pulis added: ‘I’m pleased to get him in. He is a man with a lot of experience and quality.
‘He has a winning mentality and he wants to be here be a part of what we are looking to achieve.’
President Muhammadu Buhari today, 24th January 2018, forwarded a proposed New National minimum wage of N27,000 to the National Assembly.
Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, confirmed this when he read President Buhari’s letter on the floor of the Senate during plenary.
The letter further noted that passing the bill on time would stabilise the economy as Nigerian workers have been looking towards solving the Labour crisis.
“Mr. Senate President, I hope if the bill is passed on time, it would stabilise the nation’s economy and avoid workers’ strike. ”
Recall that the National Council of State, a body of past and present leaders of Nigeria, approved the N27, 000 minimum wage at their meeting in the state house on Tuesday January 22nd.
Ex BBNaija housemate, Nina has decided to delved into the movie industry, as she is currently working on a new movie.
She stunned many of her followers moments back as she shared a snap of herself on a movie set with veteran actors, Maureen Okpoko and Yemi Blaq.
Sharing the photo on her Official Instagram Page, she wrote :
Good morning Fam I am Currently On The Movie Set Of #OLAEDO with Veteran Actors @Yemiblaq and @okpokomaureen . Produced By : @infinityebereohakwe Directed By : @Iykeodife_ #Anticipate #ComingSoon #AMustWatch #nollywood #OlaedoTheMovie #lifeOfAnActor #Ninarising ?❤️??
Nina Ivy Chinonso Onyenobi can confidently say the Big Brother Naija House was a platform that plummeted her brand into limelight as she has always been in the news she got in and out of the house.
She got a car gift from celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani as her 22nd birthday gift. In the video which went viral, Toyin Lawani was seen presenting the car gift to Nina. The overjoyed reality show star was spotted screaming and so did the crowd in the background.
Though the relationship of the pair seems to have since hit the rocks.
In November 2018, her Instagram page was hacked and the hacker behind the act demanded N800,000 or he’d release her nude photos.
Though she was able to recover the account from the hacker days later. She wrote;
This account has been recovered by #TeamNina
Nina will be back with you shortly. Nobody can bully or beautiful Nina. We’ve got her back
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Nollywood actress and voting member of the Oscars, says she’s is not so happy that no African movie made it to the 2019 Oscars nomination list.
The Nollywood star, who was enlisted into the voting membership of the Oscar Awards in 2018, made the disclosure in an Instagram post where she conveyed her thoughts on the nominated movies.
While she expressed her happiness on the fact that a great deal of the movies she voted were picked, the actor was concerned that no African movie made it to the list.
“So glad most of the movies I nominated made it,” she said.
“Wasn’t so excited no African movie made it!”
Omotola was, however, enthusiastic and convinced that the situation would change for the better in the coming years.
“Someday soon we will be doing this for Africans,” she added.
Jalade-Ekeinde isn’t the only Nigerian who was invited to join the Oscar awards voters in 2018. Femi Odugbemi, a filmmaker, was also invited.
‘The Favourite’ and ‘Roma’ were the most nominated movies, receiving 10 each, while ‘Black Panther’ earned seven nominations.
The national chairman of the party, Gani Galadima, said Ezekwesili only wanted to use the ACPN platform to negotiate to be finance minister.
He said;
“The reason for calling this press conference is to let the world know about the presidential aspiration of Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, which in actual fact, is not the truth. I have been put into confidence by one of her aide named Iyinoluwa Aboyeji that she only wanted to use the platform of the ACPN to negotiate to be Nigeria’s finance minister,”
“This she does not deem fit to inform the party whose mandate she is holding. If you observe, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili is the only presidential candidate who was so militant in her campaign without any tangible thing on ground to indicate any seriousness in the prosecution of her campaign.
“No campaign secretariat, billboard or great commitment on ground to indicate any seriousness. It is on this ground that the ACPN is withdrawing support for her presidential aspiration and endorsing the second term bid of President Muhammadu Buhari to take Nigeria to the next level.”
He also asked her to return to the party all the donations “from all over the world” because the party would have to account to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“We may take her to court. She was just using us to play,” he said.
A man has divorced his wife and he explained to BBC Hausa that he did so because she insists on voting for Buhari in the coming presidential election.
Abdullahi Yada’u, a resident of Kanam Local Government Area of Plateau State, told BBC Hausa Service on Thursday that he divorced his wife, Hafsat Suleiman, because she insisted on voting for Mr Buhari.
He tried convincing his wife not to vote for the incumbent president and when he didn’t succeed in convincing her, he divorced her.
Yada’u said he and his wife both supported president Buhari when he contested in the 2015 elections. But he feels disappointed with the administration and has decided not to vote for him again.
He narrated: “I told her that she must not vote for him but she insisted which led to a quarrel which attracted the attention of our neighbours, I slapped her and told her to choose between voting for Buhari and staying with me. She ran away.”
Later her parents called me and I narrated to them what transpired between us. But still my wife insisted on voting for Mr Buhari, that’s how I divorced her in the presence of her parents.
Ibrahim Suleiman, the divorced woman’s elder brother, said they felt disturbed over the incident between the couple. He added that the woman’s family would have dealt with the husband but their father stopped them.
He told BBC: “He really disgraced us. They have been having issues even in the previous election. She is the one that convinced him to vote for Buhari, now he insisted on voting for Mr Atiku Abubakar. We decided that we will not allow her to go back to him again.”
A shocking and disgusting video has emerged online showing the moment a pressed woman defecated in a home kitchen.
The 2-minute footage, obtained from CCTV cameras installed in a house, shows the woman, pick a plastic bag from scattered utensils in the sink which she later pooed in.
In the video, the woman believed to be the house-help, surveyed the kitchen for any installed camera before carrying out the act.
The maid later took the paper bag, which contained her faeces, and disposed it into a litter bin, which she had placed right next to her.
Some of the online users, who watched the video, condemned the woman’s unhygienic and disgusting act.
But others have argued that maybe the woman wasn’t allowed to make use of the toilet by the home owners after another video was shared of the maid easing herself in the same kitchen.
It is believed that the incident happened recently in Kenya.

Throwback Photos of Amazon billionaire, Jeff Bezos and his mistress Lauren Sanchez have surfaced and this time they were pictured heading off to enjoy a spa treatment in Malibu during their illicit affair while he was still married to his now estranged wife MacKenzie.
The photos which were obtained by DailyMail were taken on October 30, 2018.
They were seen heading off to take a hike at the Malibu Canyon, before making their way to the Santa Monica airport and using her helicopter to fly the 20 miles from the airfield to the canyon.
After their hike, the pair reportedly pampered themselves by enjoying his-and-her spa treatments in Santa Monica before retiring to her $4.3 million love nest.
Earlier this month, Jeff Bezos who is the CEO of Amazon and the richest man alive, shocked the World when he announced that he and his wife, MacKenzie, are heading for a divorce after 25-years of marriage, which many believe was because of his illicit affair was Lauren Sanchez.
The divorce is expected to cost Jeff whose company is now the most valuable company on the planet worth nearly $810 billion, half of his fortune. Their earnings and income during the marriage will be split 50/50.
A young pastor accused of sleeping with church members, has reportedly dumped them and opted for a different woman to spend the rest of his life with.
The Young Prophet based in Zimbabwe, popularly known as Mystic One of Christ Zone Believers Chapel Church is also accused of using church members to finance his bride price, H-Metro reports.
The members he has lost cited various reasons against the clergyman’s conduct.
The pastor is reported to have slept with two of his congregants and their affairs became the talk among the congregation forcing Prophet Moyo to dump them and proceeded to marry an outsider.
Prophet Moyo denied the allegations saying the church members left because of their own reasons.
“Our prophet fooled himself by thinking that his calling was going to be effective by marrying,” said the source. “He forced another woman who was leading her own ministry to join him and promised to marry her so as to be effective but this failed to bear fruits.
“Prophet Moyo widened his sexual eyes and proposed to another woman and it became the talk of church and smeared his preaching and this forced him to dump the two. “Church is not an organisation but an organism so Prophet Moyo took church for granted and started forcing leaders to collect money to help him pay bride price and this is what forced many to leave the church,” revealed the source.
One of the female victims he bedded confirmed dating the man of cloth saying Prophet Moyo dampened her spirit by his actions.
“I have since left the church and Prophet Moyo is now married to someone vanhu ngavachisiyana neni, It is true that I fell in love with Prophet Moyo and he forced me to leave my ministry and join his while promising marriage as well. “He was seduced by one of the congregants and fell in love with her and it became known to church members.
“I want God to accept me because Prophet Moyo along with his spiritual father based in Mozambique forced me to accept false prophecies they made in order to add membership. “Such false prophecies were done to many members and we were forced to accept.
Prophet Moyo denied the allegations saying some of his leaders abandoned him and started campaigning against him.
“They are not six leaders but they are many of them who have left citing different reasons. “I know there is a girl who had a problem in church and she has been telling people that I was dating her. “This girl loved me and I didn’t love her because I was dating someone at that time so she forced it to an extent that some leaders thought I was dating her.
“Some of the leaders thought I was dating this lady and we had some meetings where I told them the truth. “We asked her about the issue. I asked her to tell the truth if we dated and she said no and I think that’s where the divisions emanated from, because there are people who believed.
“I would want to know the person, as far as I know I got married on December 22, last year and I know these are the things meant to disturb my ministry and my current affair. “We are wedding in April, so when I announced it in church a lot of people were not happy and I know there are a lot of things which happened.”
A father of a 7-year-old girl who falsely claimed that she was raped by a neighbour has been arrested and charged with murder after he took part in killing the innocent man in South Africa.
According to Sowetan Live, 52-year-old Mava Fundakubi was severely assaulted by a mob at the weekend in Motherwell‚ Port Elizabeth‚ after he was accused raping the underage girl.
The man was reportedly dragged into the street and beaten to death by a large group of people, while the 7-year-old girl and her mother were at the Motherwell Health Centre for examination.
In a statement by Police spokesperson Capt Andre Beetge, he said after the examination it was revealed that the child had not been raped‚ molested or sexually assaulted.
“The 36-year-old father of the seven-year-old girl handed himself over to police yesterday [Tuesday] claiming that he approached Mr. Fundakubi at his house and that he assaulted Mr. Fundakubi in the street while being joined by other persons‚” Beetge said on Wednesday.
“He was arrested and charged for the murder while police are continuing to identify and search for the accomplices.”
He also added that a manhunt was launched to identify people who took part in the assault.
Motherwell police cluster commander‚ Maj-Gen Dawie Rabie‚ said vigilantism would not be tolerated. “An innocent man was killed by the community – based on a rumour which they did not even try to verify.
“We are urging our communities to give information about suspected crimes to the police and not to take the law into their own hands. I am urging our community to identify these killers in order for the law to be enforced so these murderers to be brought before court.”
Legendary musician, 2face Idibia in a recent interview with E-Daily highlighted some of the challenges facing the Nigerian music industry.
According to the veteran, “the crap music all over the place now is because the gate keepers play good songs when people are asleep at night; when there is no one to listen to the music. So if you do that kind of music and you take it to the radio and they refuse to play it, what do you do? And most of the financial back up artistes get is from people who want to make their money back immediately’.
2face Idibia went on to say, ‘people are afraid of investing their money on artistes who sing good music..Though the music will still be entertaining but the ear of the people has changed. You and I know that on a normal day it is good music we listen to, except when we go to parties. The youths have their mind tuned to the kind of music being made now; it’s difficult to remove it. It has to be a deliberate action to do so’, he said.
Speaking further, he took a swipe at the National Broadcasting Commission, lamenting how the regulatory body’s value systems have changed drastically.
“Before NBC is able to ban any music, it has gone popular already. That means they didn’t even hear it on time in the first place. It’s after the song has gone viral that they will want to ban it. No one is doing any work.
It is very important that we have a responsible government and to have that we must have responsible people because if we don’t have responsible people, this is the kind of government we will keep having”, he said.

In the early hours of today, Thursday, January 23rd, 2019, female presidential aspirant, Oby Ezekwesili announced her withdrawal from 2019 presidential race saying she has opted to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election.
As expected, her decision is generating mixed reactions among Nigerians and while many applaud her decision others feel she has just dashed the hopes of Nigeria having a female president at this time.
See some reactions below;
Oby Ezekwesili bows out of Presidential Race, Madam Oby has just destroyed the hopes of Nigeria having a female president ???
Do referee to anoint "3rd Force" candidate, abandon the anointed. Enter the race less than 6 months to the election. Exit the race less than 1 month to the election.
So Madam Oby is graduating from one self deceit and pipe dream to another, what is forming a coalition that’ll defeat the APC and PDP in next month’s election?
I personally think the ability to analyze situations and make the right decisions is a very key part of leadership
As a Nigerian who believes that more participation of women in politics will help to strengthen our democracy, the news of Madam Oby withdrawing from the Presidential race is not something to rejoice over.
Let me get this; first she was part of a "veritable coalition" to counter #APCPDP through PACT, then a "primary" she oversaw ended in chaos, then she rose to save the day by declaring she wanted to run & now she's stepping down to "focus on helping to build a veritable coalition" pic.twitter.com/uOxeO2D2G8
Breaking news: Madam Oby Ezekwesili withdraws from the presidential race to focus forming a coalition for a viable alternative ???
Everything no be by twitter followers. Good she has tested her strength & popularity on the street to know that she’s overrating herself. pic.twitter.com/g2GA5RXU61
LOL you know when you are laughing but deep down you are actually angry because you know someone was just being wicked, unrealistic and divisive. https://t.co/WdJ38sMnM1
You see that confused madam Oby has pulled out of the Presidential race. This should not be a surprise, but a slap on those that actually believed in her at first.
Good decision for Madam Oby to step down. Now after the elections ma, sit Moghalu, Fela and any other third force candidate and start planning for 2023 immediately. We need to kick this weird APC devils out of existence. PDP will need a serious opposition to sit up.
Wonder the rhetoric Aisha Yesufu is going to spin now that Madam Oby has dropped out of the race. Whom will she tell the man her husband loaned money to support now.
So sad to see Madam Oby withdraw from the race but I think it's a smart move, she has no chance at all but this coalition she speaks of should have been done a long time ago.
Nigerian self acclaimed “drag queen” and cross dresser, Bobrisky in a recent post informed the public that his mum is dead, which apparently, has been discovered to be a LIE!
According to Enquirermag, new revelation shows that bobrisky’s mother is not dead, that the mother, popularly known as Alhaja Bollington is hale and hearty.. Revelation also indicates the reason why Bob neglected his family, including a photo of his nephew Gideon, who looks just like him.
Read below;
Gleefully dishonest, intentionally ambiguous, eternally bored, and unfathomably manipulative, self-styled queen of social media, Idris Okuneye a.k.a Bobrisky is no doubt Nigeria’s ultimate master of deception. For whatever his/her reasons for denying his mother and to the extent of proclaiming the innocent woman of substance as being dead, the controversial cross dresser sure needs to see a psychiatrist.
Stunning facts have emerged on the true position of Bobrisky’s mother and the woman is far from being dead. The woman of substance who’s popularly referred to as Alhaja Bollington is hale and hearty, in fact, she lives and has a big provision store inside Magodo in the heart of Ikeja, Lagos, this much Enquirermag can authoritatively disclose.
Bobrisky’s mother making her hair
It is crystal clear that Idris Okuneye a.k.a Bobrisky is undeniably a chronic liar and like all pathological liars, they learned from an early age that they get punished more often for telling the truth than they do for lying. They get so accustomed to devious behaviour that they lie without much thought or emotion, their situation is that critical and, so it is, for the flash-in-the-pan cross-dresser who broke down in tears during the last Mothers’ Day to claim his mother is not alive.
”Mum, I love you with all my heart, I’m hustle back to back to make you proud. Continue to rest in peace. I love you”, she cried in the Mothers’ Day video she posted on Instagram in March last year, 2018 and he also just posted another one recently.
The self acclaimed queen of snapchat has endlessly built his fame on multiple falsehoods, in fact his series of lies are pandemic that one wonders how he goes to bed at night. One of his biggest lies is the issue of his age, Bob who’s claiming to be a 1992 child was born in the 80s according to family sources.
According to Enquirermag’s impeccable sources, this is someone who was still at his mother’s 60th birthday sometime in November 2016 inside Magodo whilst she was still test-running his/her gender. Infact, we’re able to get a picture of him with one of his siblings on the occasion of the mum’s 60th birthday and we’re told he (Idris) and his siblings threw caution to the wind by engaging each other’s jugular, fighting over who should pay for photography, we gathered it took the intervention of the Magodo police to pour oil on troubled water.
”He lived his formative years with Alhaja inside Magodo, everybody knows them, they’re popular here, it’s just sad for him to be telling people his mum is dead, why does he want the woman dead, his mum is hale and hearty, nothing is wrong with Alhaja Bollington, she’s always in her shop where she sells provision, you can go there and talk to her”, the source told this magazine.
It will interest you to find out that Bobrisky’s mum, Alhaja Bollington is as popular in Magodo as his son on social media, if you doubt this, just pick a bike from Magodo gate and tell them you’re going to Alhaja Bollington’s shop, the provision store where she sells is on 47, Abdulquadri Street, opposite MRA office, Magodo Shangisha, Lagos.
Our indefatigable team of investigative reporters was at Alhaja Bollington’s provision store inside Magodo where we met with some of his siblings and also eldest sister, and fortunately the mum, Alhaja was inside her tenant’s shop, Mama Calabar where she was actually making her hair and nails on that fateful day. We did buy few things and recorded this video when efforts to talk to them proved abortive, we were actually warned to desist from bringing the matter up with his mum because that’s one pain in the old woman’s ass, the source told us she might break down for the rest of the day and it might spark other controversies. Below is the footage of the provision store.
https://youtu.be/8xSUVWYimM8

This is indeed a shocking discovery that has kept mouths wide open. Why on earth would someone declare a woman who carried him/her in her womb for 9 months dead just for fame and money. Anyway it’s never too late to reconcile with your family Bob, our honest advice.

Chelsea Football Club have announced that striker Gonzalo Higuain has signed on loan from Juventus until the end of the season.
The Argentinian, who will wear the number nine shirt at Stamford Bridge, told the club’s website: ‘When the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself I had to take it.
‘It’s a team I’ve always liked that has a lot of history, a wonderful stadium and they play in the Premier League, a league I’ve always wanted to play in.
‘I now hope I can give back that trust Chelsea have shown me out on the pitch. I can’t wait to start and I hope to adapt as soon as possible.’
Higuain reunites with his former coach at Napoli, Maurizio Sarri, who himself had expressed his excitement at the prospect of working with the Argentine striker again.
“He’s a very strong striker. Especially in my first season in Naples, he did very well, he scored 36 goals in 35 matches in Serie A. In the season, he scored 39 goals. He did very, very, very well,” Sarri said prior to Higuan’s arrival.
“For sure, he is one of the best strikers in my career. He played a full season for Real Madrid, I think, so I think he has the right experience to play here.
“It’s very difficult in January to find one of the most important strikers in the world, so I think the club is working very well. It’s not easy to get an important striker in the market.”

Oby Ezekwesili withdraws from presidential race on Thursday morning.
The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) will now devote her time “to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election”, Ozioma Ubabukoh, the spokesperson of the Obiageli Ezekwesili Presidential Campaign Organisation, said in a press statement shared.
It is still unclear who the former minister of education will support, but she previously tried to get the trio of Kingsley Moghalu, Omoyele Sowore and Fela Durotoye to agree on a consensus candidate among themselves.
After Durotoye emerged in a ballot, the other candidates refused to step down and Ezekwesili herself joined the race.
Her decision to quit followed “extensive discussions with Nigerians at home and the Diaspora”.
“This decision followed extensive consultations with leaders from various walks of life across the country over the past few days. I deem it necessary for me to focus on helping to build a veritable coalition to ensure a viable alternative to the #APCPDP in the forthcoming
elections,” Ubabukoh said.
Ezekwesili was quoted as saying: “It is my ardent belief that this broad coalition for a viable alternative has now become more than ever before, an urgent mission for and on behalf of Nigerian citizens. I have therefore chosen to lead the way in demonstrating the much needed patriotic sacrifice for our national revival and redirection.
“I wish to state that over the past three months, I have been in private, but extended talks with other candidates to birth a coalition that would allow Nigerians to exercise their choice without feeling helplessly encumbered by the evil twins of #APCPDP.
“While the deliberations continued, I never hesitated for a moment in my willingness and determination to sacrifice my candidacy in order to facilitate the emergence of the envisaged strong and viable alternative that Nigerians could identify with in our collective search for a new beginning.
“My commitment to this promising political recalibration has been consistent and in consonance with my agreement, at the request of candidates under the Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT) arrangement in 2018, when I consented to supervise the internal selection process as an outside observer passionate about building an alternative force.
“However, despite resistance from the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria on these and other issues, I have decided that it is now necessary to show by action and example my determination on this issue by stepping down my candidacy so as to focus squarely on building the coalition to a logical conclusion.
“We have no right to allow citizens give in to despair. We will #Fight4Naija together and prove to all that the mess, which the political class has now become, should not be allowed to destroy our spirits and nation. We are also determined to ensure that the message keeps resonating that our beloved country deserves better, and that we will get the best that we deserve.
“From last year, when I joined the presidential race, I made it clear to Nigerians that the country has always had a 20-year cycle of change – 1958, 1979, and 1999. As such, 2019 begins another 20-year cycle, and together with all Nigerians of good will, I stand ready to play my part to ensure that we do not miss this golden opportunity to sing a new song. There is no more time to waste. Let’s get to work!”
Ubabukoh thanked Nigerians who supported Ezekwesili, saying that “every money donated to the campaign and funds spent will be accounted for in the coming days.
Billionaire Blogger, Linda Ikeji has narrated how her parents were once embarrassed all because of 70 naira.
According to her, the incident triggered her hustle spirit.
According to the single mother of one, witnessing her parents getting embarrassed made her cry, and amid the tears promised to fight poverty with everything in her. See what she wrote below;
I was 16. I was standing there watching the insult being hurled and a little assault over N70. I saw the sadness and embarrassment as they saw I was witnessing it.
They told me to leave but I refused and stood there and watched. After it was over I told myself as I walked home in tears; in this life, except there’s no God, nobody will ever insult them again over money.
I don’t care how long it will take, but I will fight poverty with everything in me. The following year at 17 after I finished secondary school, I started my hustle.
This smile is gratitude for how far I’ve come. For all the dreams that came through. For all the things I am grateful for and for all the amazing things that’s about to happen (which will be announced soon).
This smile is to encourage you not to give up on yourself no matter how hard it gets and to encourage you to fight poverty with everything you are. The view from where I am standing is amazing and I’d like for you to experience it. May your legit hustle pay off…and soon. Amen! ???
