Chidinma Vanessa Adetshina has shown the world what it means to rise above the odds. From her humble beginnings in South Africa’s Miss Universe competition to becoming the first runner-up at the prestigious global event in Mexico, her story is one of resilience, courage, and faith.

When Chidinma first stepped into the spotlight, she faced unexpected criticism. A video meant to showcase her talent instead drew harsh judgment, sparking debates and backlash. Yet, even as voices grew louder against her, she quietly pushed forward, earning a spot in the Top 16. When the pressure became unbearable, she made the brave decision to step away—not out of defeat, but to protect her peace.

Opinion: Lessons from Rwanda and the Lingering Divide in Nigeria

Author admin 0 117

By Dr. Joseph Ogundu

Rwanda’s journey from the ashes of civil war to a thriving, unified nation is nothing short of remarkable. When the brutal conflict ended, the country’s leaders made a conscious decision to abandon ethnic identities and embrace national consciousness. They prioritized unity and cohesion, ensuring that ethnic differences took a back seat to the greater goal of building a progressive, harmonious nation.

The United States offers a similar lesson in the aftermath of its civil war. American leaders worked tirelessly to reconcile their divisions, fostering a collective national identity. Over time, this effort helped to create one of the most dynamic and tolerant societies in the world, where diversity is celebrated as a strength.

In stark contrast, Nigeria stands as an unfortunate example of what happens when national unity is neglected. After the civil war, instead of fostering reconciliation and unity, Nigerian leaders opted for sloganism over genuine nation-building….

Nigeria’s telecommunications industry is undergoing a significant transformation as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) licenses 43 Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). These operators, unlike Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) such as MTN or Glo, utilize existing infrastructure to provide specialized and often more affordable services tailored to consumer needs.

Importance of MVNOs

MVNOs bring much-needed competition to the telecom market, driving innovation and creating options for personalized service packages.
