  • Bill Gates Raises Alarm Over High Child Mortality in Northern Nigeria.

    Philanthropist Bill Gates has sounded the alarm over child mortality in northern Nigeria, revealing that “a kid born in northern Nigeria has a 15% chance of dying before the age of five.”

    Speaking at a Reuters Newsmaker event in New York on Monday, Gates said the situation highlights the urgency of reversing cuts in global health aid. “The world is at a crossroads, with millions of children at risk of dy+ng if funding drops too steeply. You can either be part of improving that or act like that doesn’t matter,” he warned.

    Ahead of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s annual Goalkeepers event, Gates pledged $912 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. But he stressed that private philanthropy cannot fully cover government shortfalls: “I am not capable of making up what the government cuts, and I don’t want to create an illusion of that.”

    Global health funding has dropped sharply, with assistance falling 21% between 2024 and 2025, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Gates warned that without urgent action, progress achieved since 2000 which halved child mortality and saved about five million lives each year could be reversed.

    Still, he expressed optimism that the right investments could save millions of lives by 2045, when he plans to have given away almost his entire $200 billion fortune. This, he noted, would require sustained support for organisations like the Global Fund and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, as well as rapid adoption of new innovations such as the long-acting HIV prevention drug, lenacapavir.

    “What’s happening to the health of the world’s children is worse than most people realise, but our long-term prospects are better than most people can imagine,” Gates said.

    While many countries have reduced support, Spain increased its contributions this year—raising its donation to the Global Fund by 12% and to Gavi by 30%.

  • Dangote Refinery: Change Has Come to the Oil Sector, Nigerian Economy, Otedola Tells DAPPMAN.

    Nigeria’s billionaire businessman, Mr Femi Otedola, yesterday waded into the ongoing fuel supply disagreement between the Dangote Refinery and the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN), advising the association to innovate or perish

    The philanthropist stressed that he had followed the debate around the fuel supply issues between both parties recently, noting that he felt compelled to provide some perspective, especially as it relates to the future of the country.

    In a statement on recent issues in the oil and gas sector, especially in the downstream, Otedola also congratulated Aliko Dangote on the success achieved so far since his refinery commenced operations, describing it as a historic leap for Nigeria’s energy independence and economic future.
    Otedola posited that Nigeria remains threatened by entrenched cabals who still believe they can resist change, but maintained that history has shown time and again that change can only be delayed, but never halted.

  • Founder of Vivian Fowler Memorial College, Leila Fowler, Passes On at 92

    Chief (Mrs.) Leila Fowler, the Yeye Mofin of Lagos and founder of the prestigious Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls, has passed away at the age of 92.

    Her death was confirmed in a statement issued by the school on Sunday. “It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved founder, Chief (Mrs.) Leila Fowler, on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Chief (Mrs.) Fowler was a true pioneer, an erudite lawyer, and a visionary educationalist who founded Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls in 1991. Her life was a testament to the power of empowering young women through education.

    Her guidance and motherly warmth built not just a school, but a community dedicated to excellence,” the statement read. Born on March 23, 1933, in Lagos, Fowler (née Moore) attended CMS Girls’ School and Queen of the Rosary College, Onitsha.

    She began her career in teaching before training as a nurse at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. She later studied law at Middle Temple and was called to the Bar in 1962, and to the Nigerian Bar in 1963.

    Fowler specialised in insurance law and consultancy and also served in public life, including as a councillor in the Lagos City Council between 1978 and 1980. She was actively involved with the Nigerian Bar Association, the Nigerian Red Cross, and the Corona Schools Trust Council.

    Her passion for education led to the founding of Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls in 1991, in honour of her late daughter. The school has since grown into one of Nigeria’s foremost all-girls institutions, known for academic excellence and leadership development.

    Fowler was widowed in 2015 following the death of her husband, Professor Vidal Fowler. She was later honoured with the chieftaincy title of Yeye Mofin of Lagos by Oba Adeyinka Oyekan II.

    Described by the school as a devout Christian, philanthropist and mentor, Fowler “will be deeply missed… Her legacy of service, faith, and dedication will continue to inspire us all.”

  • How Ex- Ondo Gov candidate Akingboye reportedly died of domestic violence from his wife.

    One of the wives of former Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in the November 16, 2024, Ondo State election, Bamidele Akingboye, has been accused of being responsible for his death.

    Akingboye reportedly passed away last Wednesday at his Victoria Garden City (VGC) residence in Lagos at the age of 60.

    Confirming his death in a statement, his Personal Assistant and Media Adviser, Oyeniyi Iwakun, described him as a man of integrity, a philanthropist, and a visionary leader. He said burial details would be announced later.

    However, a source told SaharaReporters that Akingboye’s death was not natural but the result of domestic violence, alleging that his wife pushed him off a balcony. Images of his body circulating online show bruises and deep cuts on his head and neck.

    The late politician, also the CEO of Benshore Maritime, Clog Oil Systems, and President of WeAfrica Group, had contested the 2024 Ondo governorship election against Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the APC, Agboola Ajayi of the PDP, and other candidates.

    Police authorities have confirmed an ongoing discreet investigation, pledging to uncover the truth. Civil society groups and activists have also demanded a thorough probe while warning against any attempt to cover up the circumstances of his death.

    His Personal Assistant and Media Adviser, Oyeniyi Iwakun, confirmed that he passed away on Thursday at his residence in Victoria Garden City, Lagos. Born on April 2, 1964, Akingboye was a businessman, philanthropist & community leader.

    He served as Chief Executive Officer of Benshore Maritime & Clog Oil Systems, as well as President of WeAfrica Group. He also held the traditional title of Olowomeye I of Ikaleland. He is survived by his wives, children, grandchildren & siblings. The family said burial arrangements will be announced later.

    In his tribute, Ondo SDP Chairman, Ebenezer Akinbuli, described Akingboye as a visionary leader committed to service. “During his campaign, he shared his vision for a brighter Ondo State, anchored on good governance, social justice & sustainable development. His passion and leadership inspired many & his legacy will endure” Akinbuli said.

    He stressed that the Federal Government has not borrowed from local banks since the beginning of the year, underscoring the impact of the improved fiscal position.

    The Presidency further explained that the revenue surge has boosted allocations at the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), with disbursements to states and local governments exceeding ₦2 trillion in July for the first time in history.

    This, it said, has provided subnational governments with greater resources to fund food security, infrastructure, and social services. It, however, admitted that despite the record revenue, allocations are still insufficient to meet the administration’s ambitions in education, health, and infrastructure.

    Highlighting the shift away from oil dependency, the Presidency disclosed that non-oil revenues contributed ₦15.69 trillion of the total, accounting for three out of every four naira collected. While inflation and foreign exchange revaluation played a role, it said the growth was mainly reform-driven — through Customs automation, digitised filings, tighter enforcement, and expanded compliance.

  • VeryDarkMan Renovates Dilapidated School, Shares Before After Pictures, Mocks Nyesom Wike.

    Verydarkman (VDM), is a social media activist and philanthropist.
    He has undertaken a new project that goes beyond his typical online activism.
    VDM shared a video showcasing the renovation of a school in an undisclosed location.

    Social media activist and philanthropist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has showcased one of his latest impactful projects beyond his usual call-outs and online exposés.

    The content creator shared a video of a school he renovated in an undisclosed location, highlighting the dramatic transformation.

    In the first part of the clip, the school appeared to be in a deplorable condition its toilets, drainage system, staff room, and classrooms were almost unusable. Desks and chairs were worn out, and students had no access to water, making the environment unfit for learning.

    Following the renovation, the entire school was repainted, with new furniture provided for the students. The staff room, toilets, and drainage system were fully refurbished, and in some cases, rebuilt from scratch.

    VDM, who is currently in a public spat with singer Habeeb Olalomi Badmus (Portable), encouraged people to contact him if they know of similar schools that require urgent attention.

    In his caption, the TikToker subtly criticized government spending, pointing out that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike rides in a Rolls-Royce and spent ₦30 billion renovating a conference centre, while his small team nicknamed the “ratel” handled the school project efficiently. He referred to his team as the “fourth arm of the government” and thanked supporters who contributed to the initiative, promising that this is only the beginning.

    The video drew massive praise from fans, who thanked him for his generosity and mocked the government for failing to handle such basic responsibilities without overspending.

  • Shalimar Abbiusi doles out millions for women empowerment.

    Belgian philanthropist and human rights advocate, Shalimar Abbiusi, has once again demonstrated her commitment to grassroots development and women’s empowerment; this time in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, where she donated a sum of N15m to support 150 women.

    The gesture, carried out through her NGO, the I Am Human Foundation, saw each woman receive N100,000 to boost their small-scale businesses. The initiative was part of Shalimar’s birthday celebration, which she chose to mark by giving back to a community she says “reminds her of the strength and resilience of African women.”

    “Empowerment is not a gift; it is a right. Women are the backbone of every home, every society. We wake up first, run households, raise children, and still have the strength to do business.

    It’s time we realise our own power.

    A familiar face in Nigeria’s humanitarian space, Shalimar currently serves as the spokesperson for the AU International Organisation for the Transformation of Leadership. But her mission in Nigeria, she insists, is deeply personal.

    “I’m here for the women; especially those in rural areas. My goal is to provide the tools they need to build something for themselves. Dignity comes when a woman doesn’t have to beg to survive,” she added.

    The empowerment event was held in partnership with Senator Adams Oshiomhole, who was present to lend his support and amplify the cause. Applauding the foundation’s efforts, he pledged to expand the initiative across the state
