Nigeria happened to him:💔😭
In 2017 a Nigerian won the World Bank Ideas for Action.Which saw him defeating up to 734 businesses to come first out of 118 countries that applied globally.Lets read the full story from the wife ''I'm married to a man who believes so much in Nigeria.
Unfortunately I don't know if Nigeria believes in him.
Going through my gallery, I came across these pictures. And I remembered.
I remembered in 2017, My hubby won the World Bank Ideas for Action. Which saw him defeating up to 734 businesses to come first out of 118 countries
that applied globally.
He was in Washington DC, speaking in several lined up programs organized by the World Bank. He was also officially declared the overall winner there.
This woman, Kemi Adeosun, the then minister of finance was there in Washington. She was excited. Very
happy to be associated with the global winner. Promising heaven and earth on how KITOVU his business, would get some form of partnership from the government. She gave some contacts hubby should reach out to when he gets back to Nigeria.
Funny how the guy that came second, from
Uganda, was given a presidential welcome when he got back to Uganda from Washington. He was treated like a sort of hero for coming second globally. And he has gone ahead to get thousands of US dollars in funding's for his business from the World Bank. Ofcourse made possible by
the government of Uganda. Because no individual can get any straight funding from the World Bank.
But his counterpart that came first has not as much as heard a cough from his government. And the contact given by the minister of finance bounced.
The only buzz I saw that went on
here in Nigeria about his winning was the several arguments by people on whether it was a Nigerian that won or a Biafran. A section of the populace was trying so hard to "correct" the daily newspapers that it was a Biafran that won. While others argued it was a Nigerian.That was
about that in Nigeria.
All the national daily newspapers carried the news. NTA and other TV channels were there in Washington granting interviews to him.
The government knows how these things work. They know that this business that made them proud globally needs funding, being
a startup. And they know that World Bank is there for such. They know he can't access this fundings on his own, except by some type of collaboration with his government, which made the then minister to make the promises. But he came home and his government turned the other way.
People were calling from different corners making financial requests. They were tabling their family financial needs as if he came home with all the money in World Bank itself. What they don't know was that he DID NOT SEE SHISHI!
After shining from his exploits in the global
arena, they pretended he's no longer in existence.
What did the bible say again about putting your trust in man?
Don't!
Because they'll fail you''

Someone sent me this👇
''Somebody called me with this phone number;
07060714545 telling me that he was doing some registration online and that he mistakenly put my number on what he was registering, that my number is similar to his number
and that the
password of what he was registering was sent
to my phone which I actually saw as 6310.
He was now appealing to me to give him the
reset code that was sent to my phone so that
he could finish his registration. I told him to
call me with the number he claimed was
similar to mine so that I could verify his
claim, he told me that he didn't have credit in that line.
I got online to find out more, only to discover that he was actually trying to reset my bank
online/yahoomail password and that he is a
fraudster, an account hacker and also
"Asking me if Igbo elites are in support of Nnamdi Kanu or not does not make any difference, whether they're in support or not, they still remain the minority, the masses who voted them into power are the majority. Can the minority defeat the majority? I don't care whatever
anyone says about me drumming support for my brothers, it is non of my business.
"I read a publication online where one of them who lives in Lagos State and working with Lagos State government on sanitation says he will soon write a book against me for supporting Nnamdi Kanu.
And I ask myself, this person who said he will write a book about me what is his contribution to his people. People are frustrating your brothers and you're busy clapping for them just for personal gain.

DSTV accounts for over 90% of Nollywood movie market. by Chukwuemekam E. Chukwuemeka
''M-net, the operator of African Magic Channels, is the single major buyer of movie licenses and the biggest payer. It is also the only significant buyer of movies from start-up producers.
If you make Movie with over N2 million and fail to secure contract with M-net, you are sure going to lose.
ROK used to be a good buyer until it moved into producing its own content leaving only M-net as the sole market for TV right contract of movies from independent producers.
Meanwhile, both M-net’s African Magic channels and ROK’s studios ride on DSTV.
I am explaining this to highlight the effect of shutting down DSTV on Nollywood market alone. Movie producers will simply fold up or abandon the business. Actors and actresses will go year on year
''1. Buhari popularised IPOB and Kanu. Kanu founded IPOB in 2012, ran it for 3 years but many Nigerians never heard of it or Radio Biafra. Then within 3 months of Buhari’s presidency, every Nigerian had heard of IPOB, Radio Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu. Within 6 months of Buhari’s
presidency, Kanu had become a great force in Nigeria that could no longer be ignored. 2. Buhari created Sunday Igboho and popularised him. The Southwest has been known for political protests but not for separatist agitation. But with Buhari's tacit support for the herdsmen and
their killings in the Southwest, he pushed an unknown Sunday Igboho forward to become a hero in the Southwest with strong supporters. 3. Buhari will soon create another hero in the Niger Delta. 4. He may even create another in the Middle Belt.

''While studying for my M.Sc., I did some back breaking but legitimate jobs that you can't even imagine.

I wasn't the first and won't be the last to do those kinda jobs.

Benito Mussolini Italian Prime Minister in the 30s rose to power democratically.Gradually his dictatorial tendencies started showing up, those who should have spoken out against it kept quiet.Within 5 years he consolidated power and silenced the entire opposition
Dictators dont just rise in a day, they rise gradually, testing the waters and accessing the strength of the opposition and civil society. They start by destroying the judiciary and having a grip of the law in their hands, next they trump up charges against those who disagree
with them and imprison them using kangaroo courts, self implanted judges or detain those they disagree with indefinitely without trial.
Next they go after the press, they jail journalist, in some cases people start missing, next and the most dangerous part of it, they start
