Popular comedian Oluwakaponeski popular known as Mama Tobi for his comedy skits today shared an encounter he had with a child in Abuja.
He explained that he met the boy Mohammed Suleiman who hawks sachet water on his visit to the University of Abuja.
Having just given a talk to the students, they rushed the boy’s water leaving him without payment.
Oluwakaponeski then proceeded to interview the boy and was surprised to discover that the boy was good with mathematics.
He shared a photo of himself and the boy promising to help the him no matter what it takes:
Let me tell you guys the story of Mohammed Suleiman. I popped up today at the University of Abuja and suprised the student at their Inter gender switch day. I took the mic to talk to them about the importance of education, and why they should not be distracted by the things that don’t matter. A little boy was following me around selling pure water. The sun was really hot and all of a sudden they rushed all his pure water I saw the look on his face and I knew he was mad about it so I told him to stand beside me. After the show we were walking to my car together and he said they rushed his pure water and I said I know. I let him know that was his responsibility not mine. Mohammed admitted it was his responsibility so I knew Mohammed understood a little something about being held accountable. Thats huge for me so I asked him how much was the money for the pure water and he said 190 he said he wasn’t in school because of a book that cost 700 and I told him I would give him money for the books which was what he calculated everything and said the right price. Mohammed was also good at mathematics. I asked him why he wasn’t in school and was selling pure water instead he said it was because of school supplies. So what we will not do is have Mohammed stay on the street selling pure water if he understands that he is responsible for his actions and he is good at mathematics . I felt like Mohammed deserved way more. I gave him my numbers to have his parents contact me So I will be making sure Mohammed gets all the supplies he needs to be back to school. So Mohammed is my homie now. There are a lot of special people out there. They just need hope. We should pay attention and recognize one when we see them

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
