TRENDING NOW

The Chief Executive Officer of Law Automobile, Dr. Lawrence Momodu has marked his birthday along with the company's 6th anniversary since it came into the Nigerian business space. 

At a ceremony in Abuja which had top dignitaries in attendance, Dr. Momodu and his family were full of thanks for the double blessing. 

In attendance include stakeholders from the automobile and entertainment industry, heads of corporate organizations, academics, heads of government parastatal and more. 

Dr. Momodu who was full of thanks to his family, staff and stakeholders for their support emphasized the importance of building bridges rather than building fences. "Bridges connect, while fences demarcate", he stated. 
He also recalled how he started his business journey. "I left Nigeria for South Korea in the year 2005 but came back to Nigeria in 2016 to establish my own business, most of my cars are brought from South Korea I have a very strong business connection from Korea, and few from US". 

Describing his brand of cars as very unique, Dr. Momodu expressed gratitude for the gift of another year in his life, noting that God's grace has been his pillar of support to meet expectations, navigate challenges, and move with determination. 

"I feel so blessed looking back where I'm coming from, it wasn't easy nothing good comes easy. I had some challenges like any other establishment. One of such is that most customers in Nigeria, because of the severe economic realities prefers to buy brands which they feel are cheap to maintain.

"Another challenge which is the greatest is the exchange rate which often fluctuates. It causes negative impacts on our business because automobile heavily depends on dollar and other foreign currencies for transactions", he noted. 

Dr. Momodu therefore urged the government to be intentional on monetary and fiscal policy so that businesses will not have to suffer huge but avoidable losses. 

Some of the celebrant's associates at the ceremony described him as humble, easy going and wonderful. They extolled his readiness to support and lend a helping hand to others. 

Guests were thrilled with comedy, cultural music and dances.

In a powerful call to action, Hon. Victor Ureshemi Akande has urged Edo youths to throw their full support behind the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo, applauding the Governor’s bold and strategic steps towards renewing and rebuilding the state’s infrastructure and institutions.

Speaking at a youth engagement forum held in Abuja on Thursday, Hon. Ureshemi described Governor Okpebholo as a “leader with vision, courage, and a genuine commitment to the future of Edo State,” noting that the Governor’s developmental strides are already yielding visible results in roads, healthcare, education, and energy.

“This is not the time for apathy or division,” Hon. Ureshemi stated. “It is a defining moment for Edo youths to align with the leadership that is focused on real solutions and tangible development. Governor Okpebholo is laying the foundation for a stronger, more united, and economically viable Edo.”

He highlighted ongoing projects such as road rehabilitations across local government areas, the revamp of technical colleges, expansion of rural electrification, and renewed investment in youth empowerment and enterprise support as evidence of a governor who listens and delivers.

Ureshemi, a respected political figure and grassroots mobilizer, emphasized the role of youth in governance and community transformation, urging them not to be swayed by political distractions or opposition propaganda.

“The future belongs to you. And that future is being shaped right now by a governor who has chosen action over rhetoric. Let us support him, hold him accountable, and be part of the journey,” he added.

The event drew youth leaders, student union representatives, civil society groups, and traditional leaders who commended Ureshemi for his consistent advocacy for youth inclusion and good governance.

As Edo State marches forward under the Okpebholo administration, voices like Hon. Ureshemi’s continue to echo across the state—calling on the next generation to rise with purpose, unity, and determination to build a better tomorrow.

A non-governmental organization dedicated to community and human development, placing special emphasis on the growth and empowerment of the male child, Great Achievers Initiative for Youth and Community Development (GAIYD) has held a quiz competition to mark the 2025 International Day of the Boy Child in Abuja. 

The event had as the theme “Boy’s Health and Wellbeing” and the essay topic, “Where are the Mentors? The Missing Role Models for Boy’s Growth and Development.

Speaking earlier, the Founder of GAIYD, Dr. Hillary Akpua, noted the need for a dedicated focus on the boy child and expressed gratitude for the growing advocacy for boys.
“If you have not been paying attention to your boys, please start doing so. Send them for training where they can develop more because the girls you are training today might meet the boy you left untrained tomorrow. I’m sure you won’t want that girl you are busy training today to marry such an untrained boy.

“In order word, for the efforts we put into raising our female children not to be counterproductive eventually, we really need to do better in raising these young men God has blessed us with,” Akpua said.

The Chairman, Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, who was represented by the Commission’s head of Enlightenment and Reorientation, Aisha Muhammad, emphasized the urgent need for integrity and guidance among youth, decrying the detrimental effects of cybercrime on the mental health of young boys in the society.
 
“Girls are just there for the enjoyment, either the boyfriends or the wives, and that’s it. They are just there as a supporters club, so the boys are the ones doing this,” he stated.

Olukoyede explained that the EFCC has established integrity clubs in primary and secondary schools to instill ethical values.
“We have zero tolerance clubs in the tertiary institutions, trying to catch them young, to instill the spirit of integrity and talk to them about what they should know, what they shouldn’t do,” he added.

Olukoyede therefore called for collective responsibility from parents, educators, and mentors to guide young people towards positive alternatives and foster digital literacy.

Highlight of the event was the official launch of One Boy One Skill Project by the wife of Ooni of Ife, Her Regal Majesty, Olori Temitope Enitan Ogunwusi. The project is aimed at engaging young male adults in different vacations to empower for the future ahead.

Abuja, Nigeria – A year after undergoing a life-saving surgery abroad, Moses Amiebenomo—widely known as Celebrity Carpenter—is back on the scene, stronger and more determined than ever. The renowned craftsman and CEO of Sagesse De Dieu Ltd marked his return with a bold announcement: a brand-new luxury furniture showroom will open in Abuja this July.

His reappearance at several project sites across the city was met with overwhelming joy and celebration from workers and clients alike. Known for his innovation, humility, and dedication to quality, Amiebenomo wasted no time rallying his team, commending them for their loyalty and excellence during his medical hiatus.

“I am truly proud of this team. Their dedication kept the vision alive while I recovered,” he said. “Now, we’re back—and we’re taking it to another level.”

While the exact nature of the surgery remains undisclosed, Amiebenomo expressed heartfelt gratitude to God for a successful operation and healing. “This was a near-death experience. I came back to life with a renewed purpose—to serve, to build, and to empower,” he added.

Big Plans Ahead: New Showroom, New Designs, Same Excellence

Amiebenomo revealed that preparations are in full swing for the launch of his company’s flagship showroom in Abuja, set to unveil breathtaking new furniture designs and project innovations. The July launch is expected to draw industry stakeholders, celebrities, and fans from across Nigeria.

More than just a carpenter, Amiebenomo has become a symbol of creative excellence and grassroots empowerment. From bespoke interiors to architectural-grade woodwork, his creations continue to attract admiration for their global-standard quality at affordable rates.

A Legacy of Impact

Beyond business, Celebrity Carpenter is celebrated for his unwavering commitment to youth development. His Carpentry Academy, launched in the Dei-Dei area of the FCT, has trained and empowered dozens of young Nigerians—many of them from underprivileged backgrounds. Mothers across the community hailed the initiative for transforming their children’s futures through skill acquisition.

In addition to offering full scholarships at the academy, Amiebenomo has led several humanitarian interventions, including food and material support for struggling families amidst economic hardship.

In recognition of his extraordinary service to youth empowerment, he was turbaned last year with the traditional title of Garkuwan Matasa (Protector of the Youth) of Fillin-Dabo, Dei-Dei.

As he returns to the helm of his brand, Amiebenomo revealed he plans to step down as CEO soon, allowing new leadership to emerge while he focuses on expanding training programs and launching new innovations in furniture design.
