  SPECIAL REPORT: By Mike Cerutti, Richlist international magazine publisher   One of the most ambitious experiments in Nigerian higher education is beginning to produce results, and it is coming from Idumuje-Ugboko in Delta State. The Sports University of Nigeria (SUN), founded by Senator Ned Nwoko, was built on a simple but radical idea — that a young Nigerian should never have to choose between a university degree and a professional sporting career. That vision is now taking shape in the story of one student, and it is drawing national attention. Senator Ned Nwoko, founder of the Sports University of Nigeria, has spoken clearly about what inspired him to establish the institution. “One of the dreams that inspired me to establish the Sports University of Nigeria (SUN), Idumuje-Ugboko, Delta State, was to build an institution where young Nigerians would not have to choose between pursuing academic excellence and becoming accomplished professional athletes,” he said. “I am del...

• By The Humanitarian world newspaper   Imagine a woman lying on a hospital bed in Abuja, fighting for her life, holding on to hope with all her strength. That woman is Mrs. Hadiza Bello. A wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a human being just like you and me. She has been diagnosed with Stage 2 HER2-positive breast cancer and is now on admission at the National Hospital Abuja. Her husband, Mr. Adams Bello, is watching the woman he loves suffer, and he is crying out to us all for help. He cannot save her alone. We must not let her die when we can do something. The way the news reached her made it even harder. She was told unprofessionally via WhatsApp, and the shock made her faint and slip into depression, requiring emergency resuscitation. After three days, she recovered and treatment commenced, but that painful start shows how much care, love and support she needs now. Doctors have placed her on 3 to 6 cycles, and in the worst case, up to 18 months of chemotherapy, radiotherap...

          Exclusive by Richlist Int  After over two decades in God's own country, the United States of America, Africa's top style merchant and community leader, HRH Prince Amb. Kese Jabari, is back home. His return has sparked joy and celebration among friends, relatives, and well-wishers who have been hosting him in grand style since his arrival. Just last week, the celebration continued in grand fashion when his cousin, the Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Arthur Akpowowo, hosted him in his country home. The hosting was a warm family reunion filled with laughter, reminiscence, and celebration of a son of the soil who has made his mark abroad and returned home to reconnect with his roots. Speaking glowingly about his cousin, the Deputy Speaker described Kese Jabari as a man of style, substance, and community spirit, whose influence has continued to grow across Africa and in the diaspora.

 •BEYOND GRAMMAR: LET EDO JUDGE LEADERSHIP BY SERVICE AND RESULTS I have watched some of the public conversations, jokes and criticisms surrounding the way the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, speaks English and occasionally makes verbal mistakes during speeches and public appearances. I want to offer a different perspective. Good communication is important in leadership. A governor must be able to communicate policy, represent the state and explain decisions to the people. But eloquence in English must never become our primary measurement of whether a leader is capable of serving the people. The real questions should be much more demanding: Are Edo people safer? Are our roads getting better? Are our schools functioning? Are teachers supported? Can ordinary people access quality healthcare? Are farmers able to reach their farms and markets? Are young people finding opportunities? Are public resources being used transparently? Are communities experiencing visible and...
