Image
The Renewed Hope Project 2027 has dismissed efforts by opposition leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, to form a political alliance ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The position was made known on Monday in Abuja during the inauguration of the Renewed Hope Project 2027, held under the theme “A New Beginning, A Shared Vision, With Greater Nigeria.” The event attracted party leaders, political appointees, members of the National Assembly, representatives of serving governors, as well as grassroots coordinators and mobilisers from across the country.

Mother of Three Who Returns to School at 37 and Becomes Doctor

Image
Dr. Damilola Odukoya has shared an amazing story about returning to school aged 37, over two decades after her initial JAMB attempt, to pursue her dream of becoming a medical doctor. Odukoya was already married, a mother of three, and employed full-time as a laboratory technician in a hospital. Despite her established work and family commitments, she decided to retake JAMB and was eventually admitted to the University of Lagos to study Medicine.

Her journey also included personal hurdles, such as waiting five years after marriage before having ...
