As the world celebrated World Teachers’ Day, Page Financials, one of Nigeria’s leading consumer finance institutions, honoured two exceptional public school teachers whose dedication continues to shape young minds and inspire their communities.

Through a social media campaign, the company invited Nigerians to nominate teachers who truly deserved recognition. From the numerous heartfelt entries received, two teachers stood out for their remarkable commitment to education and service.

The first visit took place at Ago Iwoye Methodist Primary School, Ebute Meta, where Mrs. Ipinlola Olaiya – a teacher with over three decades of experience since 1991 – was presented with a ?100,000 cash reward. Overcome with emotion, she revealed that she had been ‘trusting God for financial support,’ describing the gesture as timely and deeply meaningful.

The team later visited Anglican Comprehensive High School, Ipaja, to surprise Mr. Fashina, a Creative Arts teacher who has devoted more than 24 years to nurturing creativity and confidence in students. On receiving his ?100,000 reward, he exclaimed ‘Jesus!’ in gratitude, explaining that his mobility challenge had been a pressing concern.

The school’s Principal, Venerable Adeniji, thanked Page Financials for the thoughtful initiative, noting that ‘Mr. Fashina has won the Best Teacher of the Year award more than twice in the school. His consistency and passion for teaching are truly admirable.’

Speaking on the initiative, Ola Moses, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Page Financials, said the gesture reflects the company’s mission to empower everyday heroes and inspire hope through acts of recognition and support.

‘Teachers are the quiet architects of our nation’s future. Their sacrifices often go unnoticed, but their impact lasts for generations. At Page, we believe in empowering those who empower others, and teachers embody that spirit every day,’ he said.

Since its inception in 2014, Page Financials has remained committed to empowering Nigerians through innovative loan offerings, investment options, and payment solutions designed to make financial life easier. Beyond financial services, the company continues to support social impact causes that promote excellence, service, and community growth.

This World Teachers’ Day, Page Financials reminds us that behind every success story is a teacher who believed, and a company that chooses to celebrate them.

Over 300 families, including artisans, farmers, students, and traders in Ikere-Ekiti, have benefitted from empowerment and support packages championed by the Nigeria’s youngest member of the governing council, Barrister Abimbola Daramola.

The event, held at the Ikere Pavilion, Ikere Ekiti featured distribution of food items and vocational items tailoring machines, grinding machines, fumigation as well as sprayers to support local households, artisans, and farmers.

Also, several indigent students received N50,000 scholarships grant each while educational materials were donated to St. Gabriel Catholic Secondary School, Methodist N/P School, and Aseyori School, all in Ikere-Ekiti.

The initiative, tagged: ‘Renewed Hope Grassroots Engagement,’ also provided free fuel to more than 100 commercial motorcyclists, reflecting a holistic approach to community upliftment and economic empowerment.

Daramola, who was recently appointed to the Governing Council of Usman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto, expressed gratitude to God, her family, President Bola Tinubu, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, and the people of Ikere for their support.

She said the initiative was designed to give back to the community by equipping individuals with working tools, resources and support to enhance their productivity and foster self-reliance.

‘Today is about home. Ikere raised me. I’m back to give thanks, give hope, and invest in the people who made me. Our people must be equipped not just with words, but with tools to work, learn, and build dignity,’ she stated.

She pledged to sustain and expand the empowerment drive, assuring that ‘this is only the beginning; we will do more, and Ikere will not be left behind.’

Daramola commended the Young Professionals 4 Tinubu and the Office of the Personal Assistant to the President (General Duties), Mr. Wale Fadare, for their supports, urging other leaders and corporate organizations to emulate such efforts toward grassroots development.

Governor Biodun Oyebanji, represented by his Deputy, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, lauded Daramola’s initiative, describing it as a demonstration of practical leadership that aligns with the administration’s vision for poverty reduction and inclusive growth.

‘This is true grassroots leadership in action. What we’ve witnessed today is not just generosity but capacity building. Barrister Daramola is a shining example of the kind of leadership we need in Ekiti,’ he said.

The Governor also used the occasion to encourage residents to collect or update their voter cards ahead of the June 20, 2026 gubernatorial election to ensure full participation in governance.

From the Emir of Kano, Khalifa Muhammad Sanusi II, renowned industrialist, Atedo Peterside, former Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) Director-General, Arunma Oteh, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rev. Matthew Kukah, came yesterday a pat on the back of the Federal Government, labour unions, and Dangote Refinery for stepping back from confrontation and resolving Dangote Refinery dispute through dialogue.

In a joint statement on the ‘Dangote Refinery Dispute’, they noted with concern the recent crisis and disruptions surrounding the Dangote Refinery.

‘Although the immediate crisis has been de-escalated through government mediation and renewed dialogue between labour and management, the episode raises important lessons for Nigeria’s economic future,’ they said.

They explained that for decades, Nigerians endured the collapse of government-owned refineries, the waste of trillions of naira in subsidies, and dependence on fuel imports. These failures left citizens exposed to scarcity, inflation, and insecurity.

‘In this context, the Dangote Refinery represents more than a private venture; it is a national symbol of what bold domestic investment can achieve. Already, the refinery has begun to ease supply pressures, with petrol prices in some parts of the country dropping from around ?1,500 per litre to about ?820 – a 55% reduction. This impact on transport costs and food prices offers Nigerians a glimpse of how local productivity can improve daily life. It also signals to investors at home and abroad that industry, rather than speculation, can still thrive in Nigeria,’ they said.

‘However, the strikes and threats that accompanied this transition send the wrong signals. Industrial disputes, if not carefully managed, risk discouraging both domestic and foreign investment at a time when Nigeria most needs capital and innovation. A refinery of this scale is a national lifeline, with profound consequences for jobs, energy security, and inflation,’ they said.

The said that workers’ rights must be respected.

‘The Constitution guarantees the right to organise and to demand fair treatment. No enterprise can succeed without motivated, fairly treated workers. Markets and productivity must be protected. The right to organise cannot become a license to hold the economy hostage. Productive enterprises that lower costs and create jobs must be safeguarded,’ they said.

‘Social responsibility and accountability must remain central. Investors of this magnitude must operate transparently, uphold fair labour practices, and reinvest in the communities they serve,’ they said.

‘We also note that concerns about monopoly or market dominance should not be settled by disruptive industrial action. Nigeria has institutions, such as the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), that are mandated to assess such claims. Where there are legitimate issues of pricing or dominance, the proper channel is through these statutory bodies, not strikes that harm ordinary Nigerians,’ they added.

‘Moreover, as has been noted, there is no legal monopoly here; others are free to invest in refining, provided they can mobilise the necessary resources and expertise,’ they stated.

According to them, this crisis is not about a refinery or any other business. ‘It is about the direction of our economy: whether we will continue in a cycle of scarcity and rent-seeking or build a future anchored on productivity, fairness, and shared prosperity. The Dangote refinery represents an audacious step forward. It should not be undermined but strengthened – as a signal to other industrialists that investing in Nigeria’s future is worthwhile’, they added.

Arsenal have held internal discussions about expanding the capacity of Emirates Stadium.

The talks are still at an early stage with no favoured plan on how to move forward decided yet, but the possibility of home matches being played at Wembley Stadium if work was to take place has been discussed.

The Gunners played Champions League matches at the old Wembley Stadium in both the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons.

Rivals Tottenham played Champions League matches at the current Wembley in 2016-17, before playing all of their ‘home’ fixtures at Wembley in 2017-18 and most of 2018-19 while their new stadium was completed.

Next year will mark 20 years since the Gunners moved to the Emirates from Highbury.

It is understood talks have involved the possibility of changing the seating plan in order to add thousands of seats as the Gunners look to keep pace with the largest stadiums in the country.

With a capacity of 60,704, Arsenal have the fifth-largest stadium among English football clubs.

Manchester United’s Old Trafford is the biggest ground with a capacity of 74,879, while Tottenham’s home is second (62,850), West Ham (62,500) third and Liverpool (61,276) fourth.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has said it will, within the month, launch an enhanced and upgraded system for the processing of driver’s licences and vehicle number plates to ensure effective and efficient service delivery nationwide.

The FRSC Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, announced this yesterday in Abuja while addressing the corps workers and stakeholders during the 2025 Customer Service Week celebration of the corps.

Mohammed said the new system would significantly reduce waiting time, ensure faster processing, and improve data integrity.

The corps marshal explained that the initiative was part of broader efforts to modernise FRSC’s operations through technology.

He said the FRSC recognised the invaluable trust and loyalty of its customers, describing them as critical partners in the corps’ collective achievements in road safety administration across the country.

‘For every challenge solved, opportunities seized, and milestones recorded, it’s made possible by the trust and loyalty of our customers,’ Mohammed said.

The corps marshal expressed appreciation to FRSC’s personnel and customers for their cooperation and commitment.

He assured them that the corps would continue to advocate for effective legislation, policy implementation, and sustained enforcement.

This, Mohammed said, would be to reduce road crashes, fatalities and injuries nationwide.

He expressed concern over the challenges that applicants experienced in processing and obtaining driver’s licences and vehicle number plates.

According to him, the FRSC is aware of the delays and difficulties that applicants face nationwide.

‘We want to also apologise to our team and customers for the delay and difficulty experienced over a period of time in processing and obtaining a driver’s licence and number plate.

‘I want to assure them that we are upscaling and upgrading the technology and system infrastructure of these two products.

‘By the grace of God, within this month, we are launching an enhanced system to improve service delivery and efficiency,’ he added.

The corps marshal also urged motorists and all road users to continue to obey traffic rules and regulations, emphasising that adherence remains the foundation of safety on the roads.

‘We want to tell our teeming motorists and road users that they should continue to abide by road traffic rules and regulations so that we have safety first, safety always and safety forever,’ Mohammed said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Customer Service Week is celebrated annually to prioritise customer satisfaction and honour the contributions of service providers and consumers across sectors.

‘Woe betide a society whereby their dead leaders are better than their leaders that are alive’ . Dr. Yusuf Maitama Sule CFR, the Late Dan Masanin Kano, and Former Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations

For the record, I am from Northern Nigeria, a Muslim, and a patriot of Nigeria. I am currently not a member of any political party. However, I am worried that our narratives and posturing as northerners will not change our collective situation for good unless we tell ourselves the truth and take the necessary actions.

By the way, while I am talking about northern Nigeria, the people from other regions in Nigeria should also take my message as a mirror for their regions, so that they can also make progress. Because we all have similar tendencies.

The Crux of the Issues.

It is proper and very important for interest groups of northern Nigeria, like other regional, ethnic, and religious groups in Nigeria, to continue advocating for good governance and pushing for more equitable leadership and representation at the federal level, while keeping the fee of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to fire.

However, in my view, the issues bedeviling northern Nigeria and the actual solutions will depend on how we, the northern elites and establishment, view the issues, our sincerity of purpose, and the actions that we take to address them. The root causes of most of the challenges facing Northern Nigeria are more regional and local than federal. Therefore, we must refocus, expand our vision, and change our mindsets if there is to be any hope of redemption, growth, and development.

Living in denial and blaming trade will only complicate and exacerbate our situations. The combined ticking time bombs of tribalism, ethnic jingoism, religious extremism, religious bigotry, hypocrisy, poverty, jealousy and envy, greed, hatred, erosion of our core values, corruption, etc., are part of the multi-dimensional issues that we must address as our realities. Indeed, we must also accept that the issues are mostly self-inflicted, either deliberately or inadvertently.

Consequently, political grandstanding and gaslighting will not help us but only make our matters worse. The population growth rate of northern Nigeria, the preponderance of out-of-school children, rising unemployment, youth restiveness, rising social vices, insecurity, etc., in northern Nigeria reflect our dire situation, which calls for sincere and sober reflections. Without decisive actions to contain the ugly trends rather than blaming trade, we will be doomed.

Some questions for all of us who are Nigerians from the northern region are as follows:

Having produced the highest number of Presidents and Heads of State in Nigeria, and having been key stakeholders in the political evolution of this country, how many banks are owned by northern Nigerians? How many media houses are owned by northern Nigerians? How many manufacturing plants, or factories, are owned by northern Nigerians, apart from Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Alhaji Abdulsamad Isyaku Rabiu, and a few others? How many industries or factories in Nigeria are operated or managed by northern Nigerians? How many of the former State Governors of northern Nigeria have even a ‘pure water’ factory where they have employed 10 people? How many of all former State governors of northern Nigeria, former and serving Senators, and Members of the House of Representatives are actually employing people or that actually have scholarship programs/systems whereby they are supporting children from their constituencies, with their own money, or the money they have taken from us? How many of us own or are managing (at top level) the insurance companies, and other private financial institutions, corporate organizations, apart from the Non-Executive Directorships that we are occasionally given, to give a semblance of national outlook for Companies that are owned majorly by southern Nigerians in which we have no real stake, etc.? These are the critical indicators that will tell us whether we are moving in the right direction or not. Today, most of the masses in northern Nigeria are ‘on their own’, with no help from the elites.

Most times, we, the elites, only speak out loudly when it comes to issues that directly affect us or our children, but not really for the common good. How did we allow our region to slide into the abyss of over 80 million out of over 133 million multi-dimensionally poor Nigerians? Are these issues entirely the fault of a President, i.e., President Olusegun Obasanjo, President Umar Musa Yar’Adua, President Goodluck Jonathan, President Muhammadu Buhari, or the incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu? Why do we have to shout all the time about issues that we are also responsible for? For example, we have a situation whereby a former northern State governor, who was a governor maybe 15 years ago, has become a glorified personal assistant to a current state governor. This speaks volumes to how we are making progress as northern Nigerians, or as Nigeria in general, because, by the way, this is not just a northern Nigeria issue.

Certainly, if we are able to speak truths to ourselves, we may start moving in the right direction. Most of our leaders block their ears, close their eyes when they are in power, whether as Presidents, Vice Presidents, State Governors, Deputy Governors, Federal and State legislators, Judges, Chief Executives, Civil Servants, etc., but they shamelessly become ‘latter-day activists’ when they leave office, having failed to deliver good governance during their tenures. It is time that we, the people of Northern Nigeria, start calling out such leaders.

For the past 65 years in Nigeria, from independence to date, in every administration, northern Nigerians have been given the opportunity to lead or to serve. Whether the number is enough or not is not the issue. Recently, the late President Muhammadu Buhari was the President for eight years. How did our northern leaders, who were given the opportunities, perform? How did they change the fortunes of northern Nigeria within those eight years? Not long ago, during the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan, most of the top government officials who were found blameful or responsible for the diversion of the funds that were appropriated and disbursed for the procurement of weapons to fight terrorism were from Northern Nigeria. They were found to be in cahoots with misappropriating money that was meant to save/ protect their people, other Nigerians, and residents from being looted, kidnapped, raped, maimed, and killed daily in thousands. What This is the height of wickedness! Shame! What did the northern elders, elites, or citizens do, or what are they doing to stop these menaces and evil tendencies of self-service?

Currently, the two Ministers of Defense, two Ministers of Agriculture, the Coordinating Minister of Health, Minister of Information, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Transport, the National Security Adviser, etc., are from northern Nigeria. It does not matter what political party is in power at the federal level; we always have a significant share of power and the highest number of representatives in the power dynamics of Nigeria. Therefore, what should matter is how we perform and how we utilize the opportunities.

Self-Service OR Sincere Agitation?

For instance, months into the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, there was agitation by the Northern elites that there was a plan by the administration to sack northerners from CBN, etc., when 70% of the children in the CBN are our children, i.e., children of the elites. What about the children of Shoe shiners or peasant farmers, etc? Are we addressing the issues of almost 70% of our public primary and secondary schools that are dilapidated, with our children that sit on bare floors, in open areas? How about the teeming Almajiris that we maltreat? Is that the responsibility of the federal government? We all know that the State governments are primarily responsible for primary and secondary schools’ education, and yet we have over 10 million children and youngsters out of school. How are we, the elites, also speaking truth to our state governors to ensure that they do the needful? So, these are the posers for us to address as Northern Nigerians.

Moreover, 70% of the leaders from North and indeed from Southern Nigeria came from humble backgrounds. But most of them forget where they come from, only when they need their votes. The fact is that about 60 or 50 years ago, they were given opportunities by leaders like Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, etc., and yet most of them have abandoned their people. Most of them were like the Almajiris of today, and yet they were given those opportunities to excel and become leaders in their Country. Now, all they think of is themselves and their children. Yet here we are blaming all our woes on any President who is in power.

Therefore, I urge our political, religious, traditional leaders, top leaders, intellectuals, and the entire elites to have a moment of introspection.

In the subsequent episode, I will continue expounding on the issues bedeviling northern Nigeria and how I think we should best address them.

The Olowu of Owu-Ikosi, Oba Aderemi Ogunlari, has lamented the invasion of the community by some landgrabbers.

The monarch said the peaceful Owu-Ikosi Kingdom in the Ikosi-Ejirin Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Epe Division is reeling from an escalating crisis as ‘Ajagungbale’ (landgrabbers) are intimidating residents and crippling local commerce.

Addressing reporters at a briefing in his palace, Oba Ogunlari, flanked by his Council of Chiefs, appealed to the Lagos State Government and all security agencies for immediate intervention, warning that the situation is rapidly descending into anarchy.

The monarch stated that the landgrabbers had made incursions into villages across the Epe Division.

‘The state government should act quickly before it becomes the issue of herdsmen,’ the monarch cautioned, drawing a parallel to the security challenges in other parts of the country.

He implored Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to swiftly come to the aid of residents and the State House of Assembly to swiftly make a law to curb landgrabbing.

The traditional rulers and chiefs made a joint, urgent call for the deployment of state security service officials to the area.

He said: ‘We are calling on Governor Sanwo-Olu to quickly take it up to avoid unrest, and specifically on the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Area Commander of Area N to come and save our life and soul before it is too late. ‘We appeal Lagos State House of Assembly to make a law to aid the work of Lagos State Task Force on Land Grabbers (LSTF) as this will curb land-grabbing in the state.’

He noted that the escalating violence posed a direct threat to the state government’s investment in the area, specifically the relocation of Sawmillers from Okobaba to Imofa.

Oluwo/Jagun oba of Owu-Ikosi, Chief Olumide Osilaja, painted a grim picture of daily life, stating that the situation has become so pervasive that there is nowhere in the community that the landgrabbers are not operating.

‘They are in our farms now with the hoodlums they are using to harass our people. Farmers cannot go to their farms, our women cannot go on their daily business,’ Chief Osilaja said.

He added that people visiting sawmills to purchase planks are being stopped and extorted for huge amount of money.

‘The thugs are reportedly armed with cutlass and guns and are seen taking harmful drugs, fueling community panic,’ he said.

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) yesterday withdrew the criminal charge filed against MultiChoice Nigeria Limited and its top officers after the parties said they had resolved their differences.

FCCPC’s lawyer, Daniel Amadi, announced this while addressing Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court when the matter was called for arraignment of the defendants.

Amadi said the matter was for hearing, ‘but we have filed notice of withdrawal filed on August 16’.

He added: ‘Parties have settled and we agree to withdraw this suit.’

The defence counsel, Rolake Akingbola, did not oppose the application, and Justice Omotosho struck out the charge.

A major policy shift in 2025 has cleared the way for Nigerians to officially earn in US Dollars through approved online and digital channels. For millions of citizens seeking new ways to navigate a tough economy, this development could not have come at a better time.

While social media has been awash with all kinds of ‘dollar earning opportunities,’ many of them questionable at best, industry insiders are now pointing to one sector that has stood the test of time: premium domain names.

The Discovery of a Hidden Goldmine

During this research and investigation, we received dozens of calls from Nigerians both at home and abroad asking whether dollar earnings online were truly possible. Skepticism was common. After all, for every success story, there seemed to be five scams.

But one model kept appearing in our research: Acquiring and profiting from premium domains. At first, it sounded too good to be true. Could a single name on the internet really be worth thousands, even millions of dollars?

The answer, as global sales records confirm, is a resounding yes.

Voice.com sold for $30 million.

NFTs.com fetched $15 million.

Business.com famously went for $350 million years ago.

Chat.com was confirmed at $15.5 million just last year.

For Nigerians now allowed to earn and withdraw in US Dollars, the timing could not be more perfect. Click here to start

Bringing Global Opportunities to Local Buyers

One platform making headlines isSoftbrite, a US based company with more than 11 years of experience in helping clients secure premium domains and guiding them through a profitable resale process.

Unlike speculative platforms that sell random, low-value names, Softbrite offers curated premium and ultra-premium domains starting from $2,000 and going up to $12,000 or more. Each domain is selected for its resale potential, brandability, and demand in global markets.

From our extensive and independent research, we can confirm that domains are the internet’s real estate. Just as a property in Victoria Island or Banana Island appreciates, the right digital property gains value as businesses in tier one countries compete for it. The difference is that domains are cheaper to acquire and easier to resell globally.

Why Nigerians Should Pay Attention

Dollar Income at a Time of Naira Weakness

With the naira under constant pressure, earning in USD provides stability. Every resale completed on Softbrite is paid directly in US Dollars, giving Nigerians stronger spending power. A buyer can also specify their earning paid in Naira.

A Business AI Cannot Replace

Globally, AI is replacing jobs at an alarming rate. Tech giants have laid off thousands, while entire HR and IT roles are now automated. But one thing remains constant: every company still needs a domain name. AI cannot change that reality.

No Training, No Referrals, No Schemes

Unlike MLMs or referral programs, domain reselling doesn’t require recruitment. Nor does it need specialized training. As a potential client, you simply acquire a premium name, and Softbrite’s team in El-Paso, Texas, manages the resale until profits are realized. Click here to start

Real Proof of Profitability

Clients we spoke to confirmed that profits are not hypothetical. One Nigerian buyer reported acquiring a domain for about $2,000 and reselling it for $29,000, calling the profit ‘unbelievable.’ Another said his single domain resale brought in over $42,000, money paid directly to his account in USD.

Is Softbrite legitimate?

Yes Softbrite.com is considered a legitimate and trusted platform that allows individuals buy premium domains for cheap at their discount marketplace, they have a dedicated reselling team helping those buyers resell the domains for profit.

I will acquire more before the end of the year’

Olalekan (Ontario, Canada): ‘At first, I laughed at the idea of buying names. After research, I realized companies spend millions just for a domain name, it sounded unbelievable till the domain I acquired for $4000 by end of June sold by early September for $51,350. Some businesses are truly meant for the smart, now I understand why they say the rich will always become richer. They are risk takes who take decisions without fear.’

Effiom (Lekki, Lagos): ‘I didn’t want this secret exposed, but it works. I’ve sold enough domains to fly business class with my family. That says it all.’

Blessing Makanjuola, a mental health practitioner, advocate, and feminist, didn’t choose this path; pain chose it for her. Her voice, now calm yet commanding, carries the weight of a story that turned personal suffering into public purpose.

‘I was conscious while they cut me open,’ she recalls softly, her eyes distant as though replaying the scene in her mind. ‘The spinal injection didn’t work, but the doctor began the surgery anyway. By the fourth cut, I held his hand and screamed.’

That moment, she says, changed her forever. It wasn’t just the physical pain, but the awakening that came with it.

‘It made me realise how women’s voices are often ignored in spaces that concern their own bodies,’ Blessing says. ‘I stopped being silent that day. Pain made me speak.’

Her story began like many others, a woman preparing for childbirth and trusting the system to care for her. But it took a frightening turn in the operating theatre when her anaesthetic failed. ‘I could hear everything, feel everything,’ she says. ‘And when the nurse finally shouted that the spinal didn’t work, they had to give me general anaesthesia.’

The experience left her traumatised, but it also gave her a deeper understanding of the silent suffering many women endure in hospitals. ‘We are often told to be strong, to endure, to keep quiet,’ she says. ‘But I’ve learned that strength also means speaking up.’

Her second pregnancy would later teach her even more about autonomy, fear, and faith. She recalls a nurse who questioned her choice to have a C-section, asking why her mother-in-law hadn’t approved.

‘That moment shook me,’ Blessing says. ‘It made me realise that too many women’s bodies are treated like community property. My body is mine. I get to decide what happens to it.’

Blessing’s journey through trauma, depression, and recovery has now evolved into advocacy. She has become a mental health practitioner, using her story to encourage open conversations around maternal health and emotional healing.

‘Many women go through pain in silence,’ she reflects. ‘They smile through it because they think nobody will understand. But if my voice can help even one woman seek help, then that pain wasn’t wasted.’

Today, she speaks in calm assurance, not as a victim but as a woman who turned agony into activism. Her message is simple yet powerful: listen to women, believe their stories, and give them the space to heal.

‘I’ve learned that healing doesn’t mean forgetting,’ she says with a faint smile. ‘It means owning your scars and helping others find the strength to face theirs.’
