They laughed when they saw him selling popcorn on his convocation day.
What they didn’t know was that the popcorn paid for the degree.

Meet Cyril CD—the graduate who sponsored himself through university with a popcorn stand.

After gaining admission in 2020, Cyril lost his father just three days before resumption. The promised registration money never came. With his mother already supporting two children in tertiary institutions, he chose to shoulder the responsibility himself.

He paid his registration from personal savings. During the ASUU strike and COVID lockdown, he returned to Kaduna and learned popcorn making at Lovepops. For almost a year, while school was shut, that popcorn business became his training ground.

When school resumed in 2021, Cyril began selling popcorn on campus—borrowing equipment, popping at Samaru Market, and moving from class to class. By 2023, he set up a stand outside the North Gate. In 2024, he finally secured a spot inside the campus—on his convocation day.

That same popcorn business paid his school fees, covered his welfare, paid his rent, and supported his siblings.

So on his convocation day, Cyril made popcorn one last time.
He began the journey on a convocation day—and chose to end it the same way.

Proof that with God, grit, faith, and hard work, it’s possible to sponsor yourself through university.

We celebrate resilience.
We celebrate hustle.
We celebrate Cyril CD 🎓🍿

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨🚨

Social media is buzzing following a viral video involving Prophet Odumeje, popularly known as Indabosky, which has sparked intense reactions online.

In the circulating clip, the prophet is seen during a church service as a young boy, said to be lifeless, was brought before the altar. Witnesses at the scene claimed the child was unresponsive, and the situation appeared hopeless.

As prayers continued, the atmosphere reportedly changed when the boy allegedly began to respond, sending shockwaves through the congregation. The child’s mother was overcome with emotion, crying and giving thanks, while church members erupted in praise.

The video has continued to stir debate and reactions, with many describing it as miraculous, while others remain skeptical. Indeed, mysteries still abound, and interpretations differ.

“Is there anything wrong here… or am I missing something?” 🤍

We returned from shopping and found our kids sleeping like this 🥰—curled up, peaceful, safe, and comfortable in each other’s presence.

Their dad thinks it’s wrong, but I honestly don’t see anything bad about it. They’re always together—playing, laughing, protecting each other, and sometimes falling asleep wherever sleep meets them. To me, this looks like innocent sibling love, trust, and a sense of security.

Parenting comes with different perspectives, though, so I’m curious 👀

💬 What do you think?
Is this just kids being kids, or is it something to be concerned about?

I’m not surprised by this post. Any man who raises his hand against a woman—continuing until there are visible marks or blood—shows a complete disregard for her safety and well-being. Trying to manipulate the situation afterward to appear blameless is unacceptable.

Bravo 👊 Mr. Power Ranger.
How would you feel if it were your sister being treated that way?

“Please, I am appealing to Nigerians for help. I humbly ask anyone I may have offended—especially my wife—to forgive me. I am only human and far from perfect.

All I ask for is access to my children. They are my flesh and blood, and being unable to see them has caused me deep pain. I have been suffering quietly, carrying this burden alone.

I plead with my wife and my children to find it in their hearts to forgive me. I also ask Nigerians to help speak on my behalf so I can reunite with my children. I am truly going through a lot in silence.”

— Kingsley Ikenna, father of Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey, makes an emotional appeal, calling on Nigerians to intervene so he can regain access to his children.

My name is Zainab. I’m 27 years old. I am SS—I live with sickle cell disease.
My parents are both AS.

They knew.
They were warned.
They still married.

They said God approved it. They believed love would be enough. They trusted faith to cover the consequences.

I am that consequence.

I was diagnosed before I turned two. My childhood memories aren’t playgrounds or cartoons—they’re hospitals, needles, and adults whispering when they thought I couldn’t hear.

In primary school, I missed classes so often teachers stopped asking questions. Some classmates thought I was pretending. Others thought I was cursed. I learned early how to smile while feeling different.

By secondary school, the pain crises became more frequent. I’d wake up excited for school and end the day on a hospital bed. Life became a cycle: school, hospital, recovery—repeat.

At 15, I lost my younger brother to sickle cell.
We were both SS.

That day changed everything.

My parents broke down—crying, apologizing, saying, “We followed faith. We didn’t think.”
But the damage had already been done.

Some days, I forgive them.
Other days, I resent them deeply.
Both emotions live in me.

At university, I tried to live normally. I joined sickle cell advocacy groups, volunteered with awareness organizations, spoke at events, and encouraged parents to test their genotype. People call me strong. They call me a warrior.

What they don’t see are the nights I cry alone after silent pain episodes.
They don’t see the fear of planning a future in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

And relationships?
That’s another wound.

I’ve been loved—briefly.
When talks turn serious about marriage and children, they leave. Some are honest. Some disappear without a word.

One man promised me everything—care, safety, a future without fear. I believed him. For the first time, my heart rested.

Then one day, he stopped calling.

That heartbreak triggered one of the worst crises of my adult life—not from physical stress, but because hope collapsed.

Now I’m older. The pain is different—less dramatic, but more exhausting. Recovery is slower. The fears are heavier. I ask myself questions my parents never asked each other.

I am strong, yes.
But I am tired.

If you are AS and the person you love is AS, please love your unborn children enough to pause and think. Faith is not a license to ignore knowledge.

I didn’t ask to be a lesson.
But if my story can prevent another child from being born into avoidable pain—then my voice matters.

Meet Hassan Dan’azumi, a graduate of the Department of Microbiology, Bauchi State University, Gadau, who earned a Second Class Upper Division (2:1).

He chose education over begging on the roadside—clear proof that dignity, hard work, and perseverance still pay off.

If education were a scam, he wouldn’t have gone this far.
