Meet the 27-year old university student that sells coconut for a living

A 27-year old graduate named Abubakar Abdul Mumin, a student of the Tamale Technical University has made news headlines due to his sheer will and desire to survive.

According to reports, the young man’s story inspires the majority of the youth today as he does several menial jobs as well as sell coconuts to make money.

Narrating his story, he said he started the coconut business at the age of 19.

“My name is Abubakar Abdul Mumin, from Yepeli in the Northern Region of Ghana. I am 27 years and a final year student of Tamale Technical University. I am studying Statistics. I am also the Organiser of the Statistics Department. I won the position in a very hot election.

I didn’t know I could win because I didn’t put any money in that but those who voted for me explained that they like my diligence and ability to unite people. I appreciate. Statistics is a very a very difficult course so I have little time to spare. A lot of my friends think I have left them but my education takes a lot of my time now.

I am always indoors reading and learning new things to master the course. During my long vacations, I take time to teach Mathematics at the Yepeligu Junior High School. I have done that for three years and I do it for free. The School is not far from my place so I can manage. I had a very difficult time in the JHS because even though I like mathematics, we never had a Mathematics teacher throughout my stay. It was hard but I passed. I go to teach because I don’t want them to experience the same difficulties. The children like me and I feel proud.

When I have other opportunities on short vacations, I sell coconut and support my education. I started selling when I was 19. I never get embarrassed when people look down on me because of what I do. I am strong. Peoples opinions do not put me down because I know who I am.

I want to learn to the highest level and achieve my goals. My goal is to make a very good impact on my people in the North and in Ghana. I want to teach. I also want to help my district with my statistics education and compile data that has been overlooked about my people. My brother is the administrator at Karaga District Assembly.

He helps me a lot and I also want to help my parents and siblings wholeheartedly. I have supported myself and paid all my school fees for three years through selling. I move out of Tamale to other regions to sell. Sometimes for two months, I stay with my friends in those areas and then when I have enough, I move back to school. I want to graduate with a good grade, I am currently on second class upper and I feel proud. I will make it one day. Now, I have saved enough to buy my handouts and pay other dues. I will return to school by mid January and complete my school. I believe the future is how you choose to make it, sometimes. I love peace and we must all help make our lives better.”

“ I am waiting on God’s time before I get married again, to avoid making another mistake” Ngozi Nwosu Declares

Ngozi Nwosu in a recent interview said she is waiting on God’s time before she gets married again, to avoid making another mistake. She also blamed Nigerian parents for increase in marriage crash. The veteran actress advised Nigerian parents to stop putting pressure on their kids when it comes to getting married to reduce the high rate of divorce in the nation.

According to her, such pressure might end up making the kids choose the wrong partner and then eventually having them split when things don’t work out. Citing her failed marriage as an example, the 55-year-old beautiful actress in an exclusive interview with Plus TV Africa, said “No Parent should put pressure on their kids to marry, it is better to be late than to marry early and choose wrong. That was part of what happened to me, I was under pressure to marry and things eventually didn’t turn out right”

The actress who admits being single and searching for the right man further said “when you rush to do things because you are ageing or because your mates are doing it, it might be your doom so just live your life and wait till it is the right time. I am waiting on God’s time before I get married again, to avoid making another mistake”

World’s richest man Jeff Bezos and his estranged wife will split their incredible fortune as it’s revealed they don’t have a Prenup

Jeff Bezos and his estranged wife will split their incredible fortune

Yesterday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced that he and his wife, MacKenzie, are heading for a divorce after 25-years of marriage.

Now it has been revealed that the couple who have four children together don’t have a prenuptial agreement.

According to TMZ, the couple will file divorce docs in Washington, where community property rules that all earnings and income during the marriage are split 50/50, meaning over $137b is at stake.

Bezos is currently in a relationship with former “So You Think You Can Dance” host Lauren Sanchez, who’s also in the middle of divorcing her estranged husband, talent mogul Patrick Whitesell.

In case you don’t know, Lauren and Patrick were super close to Jeff and MacKenzie for a decade

Jeff Bezos’ company is now the most valuable company on the planet worth nearly $810 BILLION. He and McKenzie own a total of 400,000 acres of property, making them two of the biggest landholders in the country.

The couple who live in Washington, which is a community property state got married in 1993 long before Bezos became rich. He became a millionaire in 1997.

GOALS! – Cristiano Ronaldo and his son strike a pose in matching suits (Photo)

Juventus striker, Cristiano Ronaldo shared a good looking photo of himself and his first son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. striking a pose in matching suits and we can’t help but tag it ‘father-son goals’.

See Photo below :

Cristiano Ronaldo is under contract with Juventus for the next four years, but he spoke to Fox Sports about his future plans after leaving Juventus.

“Will I return to Sporting like Nani? In football you never know,” Ronaldo said.

Sporting was the first professional football club Ronaldo played for before signing with Manchester United in 2003. If CR7 returns, he will follow Nani’s footsteps, who decided to return to Portugal last year.

”If you want to be rich in 2019, stop listening to Adeboye, Oyedepo and the likes of them” – Freeze says as he reacts to Forbes list of Africa’s billionaires

Most of your Nollywood celebrities are prostitutes

OAP and leader of the Free the Sheeple Movement, Daddy Freeze, has taken to his Instagram page to react to the recently released Forbes list of Africa’s Richest Bilionaires.

Freeze reacts to Forbes list of Africa's billionaires

According to Freeze, Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga who made the first and second cut on the list, do not pay tithes to any pastor or give first fruits to churches.

He advised Christians not to listen to the messages of the likes of RCCG general overseer, Pastor E. Adeboye or Winners Chappel founder Bishop David Oyedepo, if they want to be rich this year.

Read what he wrote below

Once again those prosperity pastors misled you….

Where is the prosperity in the land, if we overtook India as the poverty capital of the world and our billionaires became poorer and fewer?

Mike Adenuga was one of the only billionaire that became richer last year and he neither pays tithes nor gives first fruit. In the same vein, the man at the top spot, Aliko Dangote also doesn’t tithe to pastors or churches and neither does he give first fruit.

However, both of Nigeria’s richest men are EXTREMELY CHARITABLE, giving a lot to support the poor, weak and the sick.

It has been shown to us repeatedly by verifiable statistics and empirical studies, that the god of the prosperity doctrine Pentecostals cannot bless anyone with anything except poverty, hardship and sorrow.

If you want to be rich in 2019, stop listening to Adeboye, Oyedepo and the likes of them and stop giving them your money as well, Instead understudy Dangote and Adenuga, while you invest your money. ~FRZ

According to Ihuoma, U.S singer, R.Kelly spotted her at a retail store in South Africa some years back when she was 16 and seemingly took interest in her.

“We giving it too much attention” Future speaks on R. Kelly scandal

American Rapper, Future thinks the world is giving too much attention to R Kelly and the scandal surrounding him.

The rapper stopped by the Power 106 studio during the promotional run for his studio album ‘The WIZRD’. While there, he spoke about everything from his writing skills and upcoming documentary to Lady Gaga and the significance of radio play.

Host J Cruz then asked him if he would record with R. Kelly and Future replied:

Man, who is that? I thought we had forgot about that? We giving it too much attention.

When you give things too much attention, they blow up. That’s why he gon’ blow up. That’s why his music gonna do what it do. If you stop talking about it, it’ll go away.

Future’s statement rubbed a lot of people the wrong way as they pointed out that not giving it attention means that the accusations will die down and sexual predators will thrive and keep going free.

Meanwhile, Future’s 2012 “Parachute” track features R. Kelly and, unlike artists like Lady Gaga and Omarion, Future hasn’t made any mention of retiring the track with the alleged sexual abuser.

Revealed: A 31-yr-old Harvard grad runs TraderMoni

Uzoma Nwagba

He is not only the driving force behind TraderMoni, but the entire GEEP micro-loans program which has disbursed over 1.5 million micro-loans since 2016.

(Picture Above) Mr. Uzoma Nwagba with the Executive Director, Bank of Industry (Mrs. Toyin Adeniji) and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in a market reporting on progress of the TraderMoni programme. Source: Thisday, Sept 27, 2018.

Unless you live in a cave, you have probably heard a lot about GEEP TraderMoni, the intervention prorgramme of the Federal Government giving loans to millions of petty traders, starting at N10,000. But what surprised us is that it is apparently run by a young guy known as “Oga Uzo” within the GEEP circle.

The Chief Operating Officer of TraderMoni is one Mr. Uzoma Nwagba from Abia State, and he is 31 years old! Sources say he is a prodigy of the current Minister of Industry, Trader and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah. Speaking to our sources at the Bank of Industry, we learn he has in fact been a driving force behind the entire Federal Government GEEP project, since 2016 (so he started at 28?).

Uzoma Nwagba

Source: Twitter

Our sources reveal that a typical work day for the ex-Goldman Sachs Analyst is full of high-pressure meetings with field operators, technology providers, agent networks and payment partners, laced with long sessions with “the ED” (referring to Mrs. Adeniji, the Executive Director at BOI), and frequent visits to the “villa” (presumably referring to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo). “He comes in and is usually on the phone, giving instructions to the teams. He checks in on everyone, goes to see the ED. Next thing he is off to the airport. He is hardly ever in the office but always in touch,” a source said. Most other days for the ex-Microsoft Project Manager are filled with dusty, muddy roads from Sokoto and Yenagoa, and market squares in several obscure locations in Nigeria, surrounded by cray-fish, pepper, tomato, cattle, and all kinds of eager and excited traders across the spectrum.

“Uzo is young but very smart and very confident; almost intimidating. You can’t bullshit him. He works even harder than us, and asks a lot of questions” a source said.

Having a young person drive such a massive national project with over 4,000 employees is quite commendable, so we looked him up. It is curious how the Harvard grad has made the leap from Engineering or Investment Banking in New York, to taking interest-free loans to millions of traders across the country.

Online sources reveal that Uzoma Nwagba attended Kings College, Lagos where he was head boy of the main campus and consistently top of his class. (KC boys, can you confirm this?). He then proceeded to Howard University, Washington DC where he graduated with a First Class in Electrical Engineering. Whilst at Howard, Mr. Nwagba was a Student Government President, and Student of the Year 2008. After Howard, he worked as an Analyst in Goldman Sachs, New York. He subsequently moved on to Microsoft in Redmond to work as a Project Manager, one of the youngest in the history of the company to hold that role, at age 21.

We are told Nwagba left the dream job at Microsoft and returned to Nigeria for a year to complete his NYSC, after which he proceeded to Harvard University for his MBA. Online sources also show he served as a member and leader of various clubs: African Business Club, Management Consulting Club, Public Speaking and Negotiation Club, Business in Government Club, and the Harvard Christian Fellowship. Uzoma’s LinkedIn profile seems not to have been updated in years.

In a country where 70-year-olds run everything in government, this is strange, but very commendable. We tried to get Mr. Nwagba to talk but our correspondents could not reach him.

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey agrees to join Juventus in 5-year deal worth £36m

Aaron Ramsey agrees to join Juventus

Arsenal forward, Aaron Ramsey has agreed a five-year deal with Juventus worth £36m and will join the Italian champions on a free transfer at the end of the season.

The midfielder has been discussing a move for weeks and will leave Arsenal after 10 years at the club. It had been clear the Wales international would move in the summer and Juventus had been the frontrunners to secure the 28-year-old’s signature.

Ramsey will be paid around £140,000 a week (£7.2m a season), making him Juventus’s second-highest earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo but ahead Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa.

Juventus, who have won the past seven Serie A titles, signed Ronaldo for €100m last summer and are nine points clear of Napoli in second place after 19 games. They have reached two of the last four Champions League finals, albeit losing both, to Barcelona in 2015 and Real Madrid two years later.

They are in the last 16 of this season’s competition, where they face Atlético Madrid. The Juventus manager, Max Allegri, and the director Fabio Paratici are huge admirers of Ramsey, who is likely to be given a place in the Juventus starting XI, most likely playing with Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi in a three-man midfield. He is likely to replace one of Emre Can, Ro

Fake news about me having fun with strippers nearly caused me my marriage – Osinbajo reveals

Osinbajo reveals fake news

ice President Yemi Osinbajo, has narrated how a fake report about him frolicking with strippers nearly caused a rift between him and his wife, Dolapo.

Osinabjo disclosed this while speaking at a BBC symposium on fake news tagged, ‘Nigeria 2019: Countering Fake News’, in Abuja yesterday Wednesday January 9th.

Ok so I always say to people that I LOVE NIGERIA and last night was a reminder of why. President Obama was in office for 8yrs years in my very own country and I am yet to get a glimpse of him much less a video with the Vice President of Nigeria. To many it means nothing but attending the Vice Presidential dinner last night could be the beginning of the rest of my life on a business level. My connection to Nigeria isn’t by way of origin it’s by spirit and force. The music of Fela, Tiwa, Wizkid, Davido and many others made me stumble across Nigerian music, fall madly in love with it and ever since I have never turned back. The first song to enlighten me was “party hard” by ???. Nigeria as a whole made me fall in love with it as well. We all know I love coins but putting coins aside it is one of the most motivating and inspiring countries I’ve been too. It’s the only place where you would meet someone of the age of 60 and that person has had almost 5 professions. For example: a accountant, lawyer, real estate developer, oil and gas engineer and now owns a night club. I mean WTDDA? (Where they do that at??) I love the hustle mentality, the fact that if you are in the right place at the right time you can embark on a person on project that can be life changing. I love the balance between work and play whereas in America all you do is work work work. I love the fashion, the films, the … let me stop here I don’t want this turning into something else ?. If you have a brain and enter this country with drive and focused you can make great things happen and “leave your footprint in the sand”. I’m ready to do some greater things in this new place I call home Nigeria. Let’s get to work!

“I have been one of the targets of fake news. It can also sometimes cause you marital peace. I got a call from my wife about three or four weeks ago and she said Yemi what are you doing with strippers and I said what do you mean by strippers? So, I read a story in a famous blog that said, ‘Osinbajo caught with strippers’.

“And there was a photograph of me sitting between two perfectly clothed ladies but underneath this picture, the same ladies were not wearing much.

“In fact-checking (I noticed that) the photographs with these two ladies at an entertainment event were taken when they were perfectly clothed but by the time the story was put out, it was as though I had taken a photo with them at the time they were not clothed at all. As it turns out, I wasn’t in the picture of where they were not wearing clothes but just the caption, the stories and all that gave the impression that here I was in the company of these ladies at a point when they were doing their business. I think the capacity of fake news to cause great harm is not in doubt at all.” he said

A coach or two have been photographed crashing off the track into the neighbourhood beside it, with initial reports suggesting that the derailment may have hit a few persons. Pulse is unable to verify this bit of information at the moment.

Train derailment in Lagos, Nigeria’s economic nerve center, is quite common. On November 16, 2017, a train derailed around the Abattoir area of Agege, injuring many and leaving scores dead.

Residents of Birnin Gwari LGA, the local government badly affected by activities of bandits and kidnappers also burned APC flags and brooms, as a sign of rejection of the party in the coming general election.

The Kaduna residents who washed their streets with soap and water shortly after Governor El-Rufai’s visit, had previously been promised a faculty of Kaduna State University and the Governor had also allegedly promised them that he will relocate his office to the area pending when bandits ravaging the area are flushed out. However it was gathered that none of these alleged promises was fulfilled.
