One of the things that allows people to thrive in life is having fewer responsibilities.
Two people can start out at the same time, equally talented, doing the same business, but watch how differently their lives can turn out.
One person has to take care of their parents, siblings, friends and other family members, while the other has no such financial responsibilities because their family can take care of themselves. Naturally, their trajectories will be different.
Sometimes, it’s not that one person is more hardworking, more intelligent or more talented than the other. One person simply has more room to focus on building their life, while the other is constantly trying to build theirs and carry other people along at the same time.
This is one of the things that holds a lot of young adults back. Sometimes, what you need to thrive isn’t more motivation or hard work. It’s fewer responsibilities and the freedom to focus on yourself for once.

This is why anger is not a valid excuse for bad behaviour. You can be angry without besmirching a person's hard earned reputation. As it stand, he has admitted that John Oseni is not a fraud.
It is important that everyone who ran with the disparaging post should equally take note of this repentance and restore @johnoseni4 reputation.

Make sure your thumbprint doesn’t cross the line. Educate others, spread the word.

It was my pleasure yesterday to officially flag off the reconstruction of the 3.095km Uratta Road and the 3.955km Old Express Road in Aba. These are two critical routes that had suffered neglect for more than two decades.
I assured our people that funding for every phase of these projects had been fully secured and that the contractors, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), had already mobilised equipment to the sites to deliver quality work. These roads were not only set to be rebuilt but modernised with proper drainage systems, street lighting to enhance safety, bus stops for commuters, and clear road markings to improve traffic management. Old Express Road was flagged off to be reconstructed as a dual carriageway linking Port Harcourt Road to Faulks Road, while Uratta Road is to be built as a single carriageway connecting Port Harcourt Road to the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.
This intervention formed part of the Greater Aba Road Infrastructure Restoration Programme under the Abia State Integrated Infrastructure Development Programme (ABSIIDP), supported by partners including the African Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, and Canadian Climate Fund.
I stated that in 24 months or less, these projects would be completed, ending decades of untold hardship for residents and businesses. Aba would once again thrive as the heartbeat of commerce and industry in our region.
I sincerely appreciate our supporters, well-wishers, and residents who trooped out en masse to grace the flag-off ceremony. Your presence and encouragement reaffirmed our collective commitment to rebuilding Aba and restoring its pride of place.
I urged all residents and business owners along these corridors to cooperate with the contractors, fulfil their civic obligations, and support this transformation. Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, our beloved Enyimba City, is coming alive again.

Meet Opeyemi Adeniran (@eureka_seamless), the software engineer behind Lagos Run, now known as Danfo Run.
Opeyemi grew up in Ojuelegba, Lagos, and studied Computer Science at Yaba College of Technology.
He started his career at Exolve Technologies, where he also taught programming through Girl-Code Academy (@GirlCodeAcademy), before moving abroad and completing a master's degree in Data Science at the University of Essex (@Uni_of_Essex).
His latest project, Danfo Run (@danforun) at Eureka Gaming Studios, is a browser-based game that puts players behind the wheel of a yellow Lagos danfo, picking up passengers, navigating traffic, and experiencing the familiar chaos of Lagos roads.
What I find particularly interesting is why he built it. Having spent years away from Lagos, Opeyemi wanted to reconnect with home through something creative. He spent time recreating the environment, sounds, and familiar details that make Lagos feel like Lagos.
He wasn't even planning a major launch. After showing the game to a friend who encouraged him to share it online, thousands of people began playing and sharing their experiences. And when other developers started building similar games, he welcomed it rather than seeing them as competitors.
What I admire most about his journey is how he turned something deeply personal into an experience thousands of people could relate to. It's a reminder that some of our best ideas can come from the places we've lived, the memories we carry, and the everyday experiences we sometimes overlook.
Opeyemi's story shows how personal experiences, cultural identity, and software engineering can come together to create something people genuinely connect with. His work is also encouraging more developers to explore games inspired by everyday African experiences.
Opeyemi is definitely a builder worth following.
Africa is Building 🚀
