In a profound demonstration of philanthropy and deep love for humanity, Edo-born billionaire industrialist, Chief Dr. Leemon Agbonjagwe Ikpea, CON, recently completed and donated a fully equipped 62-bed ultra-modern hospital to his community in Ewatto, Esan South East Local Government Area of Edo State, a gesture that has been described as historic and life-changing.

• By Chief Mike Cerutti Osagie — World Industry Leaders & Richlist international magazine Publisher  Only recently, the serial investor and philanthropist per excellence, Tony Elumelu, posted this image & quote on his Facebook page and it has been causing waves. I as a connoisseur of his works now decide to write about its significance. The photo carries a message that stops you mid-scroll. "Sometimes, all it takes is one person willing to believe in you, particularly when the odds seem stacked against you."                                   👇  It is not a motivational caption, it is Elumelu's entire life distilled into one sentence. He was once that young man waiting for one person to believe, and today he has become that one person for thousands. Its significance is first personal and historical. Elumelu knows that careers are not built by certificates alone, but by trust. Someone t...

By Mike Cerutti - Deep soccer fancier   When the gods of football gather to write history, they look for a man whose feet speak poetry and whose character wears royalty. In this season of wonders, one name rises above the noise like sunrise over a silent stadium — Harry Kane. They call him Hurricane, not because he destroys, but because he sweeps through defences with the grace of wind and the force of thunder. •The Goal Machine of Europe If football is ultimately about goals, then no one has done it better than Harry Kane this year, even with top contenders like Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembele, Vinicius Jr and Erling Haaland all in blistering form. Fondly called Hurricane for his devastating effect, Kane has scored the highest number of goals so far in the Bundesliga and indeed in Europe. While others blow hot and cold, Kane has been consistently lethal, week in, week out, proving that elite finishing is still the most valuable currency in football. •Record Breaker an...

By Mike Cerutti Osagie, publisher Richlist  The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation 2026 Public Sector Reform Convening held in Lagos has once again positioned itself as the most important gathering for the future of governance in Nigeria. In a nation where public service reform is often discussed but rarely sustained, this convening brought together reform leaders, alumni of the Foundation's programmes, private sector stakeholders and development partners under one roof to chart a new course for effective service delivery. The significance of this convening lies first in its consistency. Since its establishment by Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Mrs. Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, the Foundation has moved from rhetoric to action by investing over billions of naira in building the capacity of public servants. This 2026 edition was not just another conference, it was a showcase of results, where alumni who now occupy critical positions across ministries, departments and agencies shared how the trainin...
