President, Barack Obama, of the United States has honoured a Nigerian, Adepeju Jaiyeoba, and four other young entrepreneurs from around the world at a Global Entrepreneurship event in Washington DC. In a statement on its official website, the White House, noted that the emerging entrepreneurs from across the US and around the world were brought together to create innovative solutions to some of the world’s toughest challenges, including poverty, climate change, extremism, access to education and health care.

Jaiyeoba, who is a Nelson Mandela Washington Fellow for Young African Leaders, founded Mothers Delivery Kits in 2013 to address maternal and child mortality resulting from unhygienic and unsafe deliveries in Nigeria, after losing a close friend to childbirth. Jaiyeoba has expanded her services to internally displaced victims of Boko Haram, the White House said. Tony Elumelu, Founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, among other entrepreneurs spoke the event.

This is one reason why I don't want a divided Nigeria even as the most marginalized people of our dear country , as a people we are destined for greatness with the vast human resources and natural resources at our disposal we must build a great nation ,a nation that every Blackman can be proud of .

Let us go out there and make a difference , Igbo , Yoruba and Hausa and all other indigenous people of this great nation.

Before we can build a sustainable unity we must give justice to those that deserves justice at home first.
Long live Jonathan
Long live Buhari
Long live the PDP
Long live the APC
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria
Long live the United kingdoms of the beautiful people of Africa.
Nigeria must grow.
