Please my baby sister has been kidnapped and I genuinely don’t know what to do. She travelled from Lagos to the east(Nnewi to be precise) and we haven’t heard from her until they called with her number and started demanding for ransom. I’m going crazy, someone please help







About a year ago, I got an invitation from the Future London Academy, one of the world's most prestigious creative leadership schools where business and design leaders from companies like Uber, Google, Dropbox, and Pentagram teach directly. My immediate reaction? "There's no way I can afford £35k for this program." I nearly deleted the email on the spot. But sometimes, life has different plans. Days later, another message arrived mentioning a £20k grant opportunity. With nothing to lose, I submitted my application. In less than a week despite being in the final batch of interviewees, it became official. I have been accepted into the Executive Program for Design Leaders at the Future London Academy. It’s been my dream to get structured learning in design. But this opportunity isn’t just about me. It's about the many creatives that get to indirectly benefit from the knowledge I gain from this. However, this opportunity comes at a huge financial cost. The tuition fee is £35,000. Through the £20k grant, support from friends and family and good-hearted donors like you, I’ve covered over 95% of the total cost (£33,300k). Now, I have just £1700 left to raise, with about 24 hours to go. So I need your support. I’m raising funds online, so everyone can support this cause. See it as an investment. Support this campaign, and you become part of a larger story: bringing world-class design leadership principles back to Nigeria's growing creative economy and helping develop the next generation of design leaders. Here’s how you can donate: * GoFundMe (for international donors): gofundme.com/f/fundbolusdre… * Direct local transfer: A/C 0059957511 — Access Bank * Sooseed (for Nigerian donors): sooseed.com/c/487afae5-302… Every donation matters. £10, £50, £100, or even a simple share. Or help spread the word by reposting with #30days2raise£8k. Thank you for being part of this journey. 🙏

If anyone has a course or regime for rebuilding an attention span shattered by social media, I really want to know about it. I've been noticing that it's harder for me to focus for long periods of time on specific topics b/c there is always a squirrel





What do you guys think about a corporate chess champions league? Paystack, Risevest, flutterwave, shell, Microsoft, Sterling Bank, Oando, PWC, KPMG etc. Any company can sign up really with a team of maybe 4 players as long as they commit to building a library in a rural school.
