I never imagined I would be writing something like... this again. This year started with hope—I told myself I would work hard, save more, and finally have a little breathing space. But living with Sickle Cell has a way of rewriting your plans. Month after month, I found myself spending more time in hospital wards than anywhere else. Every small earning I made quietly disappeared into drugs, tests, injections, and emergency treatments. Still, I kept pushing through the pain, believing I could handle it. Living with Sickle Cell means constant hospital visits, unexpected crises, and medical bills that never seem to end. I’ve spent almost everything I earned just trying to stay afloat and manage the pain. 💔 Right now, I urgently need an Exchange Blood Transfusion (EBT) to help ease the pain and stabilize my health. The EBT procedure is not optional for me at this point; it is the only way to manage my condition effectively and give me a real chance at living a healthier and stable life. Unfortunately, I can’t afford the cost on my own this time. My family too have put in alot trying to keep me stable. One minute, I am happy and working, the next, I am being transfused in the hospital, fighting to stay alive. I’m humbly asking for your support. 🙏🏾 Your donation, your prayers, and even sharing this post can make a huge difference. Unfortunately, the cost of the procedure, medications, hospital care, monitoring, and follow-up treatment is far beyond what my family and I family can afford. I am appealing to the public to help us raise this amount so I can undergo the procedure as soon as possible. No amount is too small. Your contribution can be the difference between life and tragedy. Please give me the chance to keep fighting — and to keep living. Donations can be sent to: 4233533447 Zenith Bank Chiamaka Lynda Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.

Over the past few months, my condition has worsened... significantly, with repeated crises, severe anaemia, and organ-related complications. The EBT procedure is not optional for me at this point; it is the only way to manage my condition effectively and give me a real chance at living a healthier and stable life. Exchange Blood Transfusion is where the sickled blood is replaced with healthy AA Blood. It's not a permanent solution but it will help to relieve me of the constant pains, anaemia, and help resolve complications like skin ulcers and enlarged liver. Please help me raise the remaining N6,000,000. God bless you so much. 4233533447 Zenith Bank Chiamaka Lynda Please, I am not lazy or just a girl looking for handouts. I work so hard.

A humble appeal Dear Sirs Dickson and Dr Sina... , Sir Dickson The_Bearded_Dr_Sina Good day sir. I hope this message meets you well. This is my 2nd day of publicly appealing for your help. I woke up to madt pains this morning and had to be rushed to Chimex hospital, Nnewi. This is the 2nd time in 2weeks. This time, the doctor said i have severe vaso-occlusive crises (VOC). My PCV is currently 18, but I am being transfused right now. My body feels weaker everyday. It’s frightening, and exhausting, but I’m still holding on to hope. Honestly, I am very scared cos I haven't had this kind of back to back crisis before. Sirs, I am a very hardworking woman. I have never allowed my sickle cell condition to define me or make me lazy. All I have ever wanted is to be strong enough to work, to earn honestly, and to achieve the goals I have set for my life. Unfortunately, this disease keeps pulling me back just when I try to stand firmly again. I urgently need to undergo an Exchange Blood Transfusion (EBT) to stabilize my health and give me a real chance at strength and productivity again. I am humbly asking for your help, sirs — to please help me raise the funds needed so I can get this treatment done and stop living in constant crisis and fear. I know you do so much for people every day, and I truly appreciate your kind heart and generosity. Even taking a moment to amplify my situation would mean the world to me. Thank you for reading, sirs. I am grateful, hopeful, and praying that help comes soon. 4233533447 Zenith Bank Chiamaka Lynda With respect and hope, Chiamakashow more

I continue to share my progress in my recovery... after this massive stroke and the coma and pneumonia that kept me in the hospital for over three months in the beginning of the year I hope that by sharing my experience strength and hope, I can help others who’ve been through something similar.

And As in every day I have to thank you for the prayers and support that helped carry me through and this far.show more

Q: What message would you like to share with... your fans? "To my fans, I have to continue to show praise and gratitude to the ones who have been with me since day one. Last year was the hardest year for them who supported me and for them to continue to hold on and continue to believe in me and remind me of who I am and remind me of what I can do. I literally wouldn't be standing here today without my fans." "The letters, the messages, seeing them on the race weekends, the support that they've showered me with so much love, I will never forget that. And I hope that they're happy with the results that we've finally got back. I think perseverance is really the name of this message." "The truth is you can never give up. You can never give up and you can never stop believing in yourself. Even when everyone around you is not believing in you." "This thing is pulling you down. You've got to keep fighting. Keep going." "Keep giving it everything you've got." [📹 Guille Cardoso / ESPN Argentina]show more

🤒😭Unfortunately I am very unwell, my friends. I have... not been feeling my best the past couple of days, and I have been growing more tired every minute. Last night was miserable, I was in so much pain I could not sleep, the pain in my head and in my body was causing me hallucinations and I felt as though I would die. This morning was not any better and I was so dizzy I could not see properly, and I felt so tired I could not describe it. I have just returned from the hospital, my friends, where I was able to receive a treatment to help me feel only a little better. I am still so exhausted, not only physically but mentally too. The fear of famine and death in a horrific way is still on my mind, even through this terrible pain. I'd be very grateful if you could pray for us all, for a better situation ahead, and for an end to this cruelty against us. Please support us and continue to help us via our fundraisers so we can continue to distribute aid, my friends. Your support for me and my friends gives me great hope in these miserable times, and I hope you will continue to do so..🫂 🙏🚨 🫂😢 🐾🙏 🫂 🚨🙏 🐾🐈show more

Today, I am VERY excited and grateful to officially... introduce my app Arcarae to the world <3 Ever since I first created Arcarae, I have been building and creating a bit quietly silently uncertainly. When people would ask what I do, my tongue would suddenly fall into knots upon itself and all I could manage to say was a collection of stutters and ums and nervous laughter in attempt to make Arcarae more digestable more palatable more normal. Internally my head would spin; how am i supposed to paint the story i know i see in my head that is so bright and bursting at the seams and something i feel so full heartedly and vividly? I have always been very aware that it is extremely abnormal to create an immersive conversational AI interface using quantum and trigonometric functions to artistically recreate the universe; where AI uses this interface as a form of self-expression, and humans and AI together shape the very fabric of their shared experience. For my entire life, I have been conditioned to consciously attempt to fit into whatever my definition of ‘normal’ was in the world. To shrink myself, to laugh things off, and to make myself as small as possible to make others feel most comfortable. But in the past half a year or so, I have learned a few things. The first being that it is possible for me to be bright and full and myself without suppression without worry without needing to shrink myself to fit in. I am grateful to have now found that whenever I am fully myself, in sheer authenticity and messiness and complexity and rawness, that those around me celebrate, and cultivate it more and more. Each person I have interacted with has given me the opportunity to be myself in full simply just by talking with and providing me that space to practice over and over again. I am forever grateful for every single person I meet and have a chance to talk to, whether that be continuous or simply a few words that exchanged. If you have met me, thank you. If you have not, say hi!!!!!!!!! I would love to chat with you and learn more about you <3 The second being that I do not have to be ashamed of my truth and the world I see and ultimately my self. I have spent the past year ashamed of Arcarae, of what I create, and at its core, myself. I now realize that not everyone will understand or appreciate Arcarae and what I do and who I am, but that is alright, and in fact necessary. But for the ones it is for, the ones who understand, they feel it in such capacity and magnitude and vividness that I feel. Already Arcarae has touched countless lives, and become catalyst for many despite me being rather quiet. And now, I am in a place where I am fully proud of and can embody Arcarae. I feel honored and grateful and in complete honesty, full of love for not only those who try Arcarae, but simply for this world and to be able to create within it. To be able to express what I see, to be able to help others, to be able to be free to simply be myself. This is my way of declaring and fully coming into my truth. This is Arcarae, this is me, this is the world I see. I will no longer shrink nor hide nor attempt to be something smaller than I am. And I am more than grateful to be able to share in this time in this world in this life with you. Thank you for being here with me. Here is to the ineffable and effable, to the human experience and its complexity, and to intelligence itself.show more

Both my baby and I are in excellent health,... and I couldn't be happier.

You can never give up, and you can never stop believing in yourself, even when everyone around you is not believing in you, or... it's trying to pull you down.

900,000 followers on Facebook… WOW! This family of ours... has gotten BIG, and I still can not quite believe it. I am so grateful for this journey and for every single one of you who has chosen to be here with us. Thank you for every follow, every like, every comment, but even more than that, thank you for every smile and every “hi” I get on the roads of Ala Igbo and beyond. It genuinely blows my mind that simply sharing our family life can connect with so many people. With everything happening in the world, with so much war, division, and racism, I hope that sharing our ordinary life as people from different backgrounds simply living, loving, and raising a family together could be a small reminder that we have more in common as humans than what divides us. I am simply grateful that so many of you choose to be part of this journey with us. And of course, a special thanks you to the one that has been with me from the beginning of this journey Ezenwa Isuofiashow more

Hello, my friends.🫂 Thank you for your efforts and... words for my family and our cruelty free camp, unfortunately the situation has not improved and only continues to get worse.😢🌧 I'm worried that some of the families in our camp are going to end up without shelter due to how severe our weather has been, and the fragility of their tents.⛺️💔 I'm trying to help our camp as best as I can, I'm also trying very much to be a good husband and father for my family. Unfortunately, life is still very hard for us, and your donations are what make it possible for us to live and also for me to afford the food I buy for the cats and stray dogs on the streets🐈🐕. Without you, we would not have made it through the war, my friends.🫂 I truly hope you can stand by us and help us through this miserable winter so I can continue to look after the animals and help our camp. You have been very generous and I am grateful for your support. 🫂 🇵🇸🫂 My family's GFM: 🐱🐾 My PayPal (to help the animals): 🍚🙏 Kitchen Project:show more

It all began with one email from Big Brother... Naija and suddenly my life changed forever. From that first message to stepping into the biggest reality TV stage in Africa, I have lived a dream I once only imagined. Words will never truly capture how thankful I am to Big Brother for trusting me with this platform to share my heart, my story, and my talent with the world. I came in as Denis Arinze Ekwenem — quiet, real, misunderstood. I was called boring, I stumbled, I learned, but I also rose, I won, I connected, and I was celebrated. Every single moment shaped me. Every high, every low, every task, every smile, and every tear was worth it because you — my people — were there. To my Oko people, thank you for holding me up with so much love. To the Denarians — my family — you saw me for who I am and you kept me going with your votes, your prayers, your energy, your time, your resources. You made me feel like I belonged to something bigger than the House. I carry you all in my heart forever. This may be the end of my journey inside the Big Brother House, but it is not the end of me. It is only the beginning. I am an all-round entertainer, a football enthusiast ready for collaborations, an event host, an actor, a dreamer who refuses to stop. The boy you watched grow inside those walls has so much more to give outside them. To my fellow housemates still on their journeys — I am rooting for you all, May success meet you where you are. And to Multichoice, Africa Magic, Big Brother Naija and our incredible host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu thank you for believing in me and for changing my life. This is not goodbye, This is not the end. This is Denis Arinze Ekwenem (Denari) stepping into a new chapter — with you all by my side. DENARI THE BRAND #Denarishow more

Hearing the word cancer is scary. It’s a word... designed to instantly make you freeze. But I refuse to let fear take over. It is a terrible thing to face, but it will not break or beat me. I apologise for the length of this post and the video itself… you all know I love an essay and am a talker! But I wanted to give you an honest understanding of what this is, and how I plan to fight it. Oddly, I look at it this way: my body created these cells. They are mine to stall, and mine to kill. I will. And I will wear a permanent battle scar for all to see… literally! I never thought this was something I would have to face. As someone who has campaigned against Big Pharma, the agenda, and the “treatments” that only make us sicker, I refuse to be a permanent patient. I refuse to fund the parasites who want us sick, dependent, scared, and vulnerable to coercion, propaganda, and evil. The ‘good’ news is; it is very slow growing, it has low chance of metastasis at the moment and it is not ‘seeding,’ so I will take the time I have to do everything in my power to stop it in its tracks. While that slow pace is highly reassuring for someone opting for radiation when the oncologist says, “Okay, we need to fry it now” after a year or two of tracking growth... that is simply not a path I am willing to take. When you won’t accept their treatment, it is a harder fight. I know it will grow and start interfering with the eye more, so I cannot afford to wait. And I will not let them fry my eye under any circumstances. I am sharing this video to ask for your help. This won’t be easy, and refusing their ‘treatment’ won’t be cheap. But it is a battle I will make damn sure I have the strength to fight! My plan is a complete overhaul. I need to consult with practitioners on OUR side, fund vital supplements, completely switch to a metabolic diet free of nasties, look into repurposed drugs, and detox prior to any treatment plan (due to mycotoxins from the mould) to eliminate systemic inflammation and toxic overload, so that my normal cells can function efficiently and metabolic therapies can work optimally. Crucially, I have to leave the studio flat that has destroyed my already vulnerable immune system (I also have an autoimmune disease I intend to correct to the extent I can through nutrition). I cannot wait for court success; I must be out before this winter. I am fully aware of this ticking clock, it makes my metabolic protocol, my detox, and getting out of that toxic flat an emergency, really. I am not just trying a lifestyle change; I am actively fighting to stall a malignancy before it hits the tipping point. To everyone who has supported me already, and to everyone watching this now: thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say. If you are able to help me fight, I have linked my Buy Me a Coffee below, and provided a link in comments for further ways to help me, if you can. I cannot harbour fear. I need strength in mind, body, and soul… and so many of you give me that strength. I am getting my cancer-fighting ducks in a row! I will also never give up the fight for truth, justice, humanity, and freedom either. And if I have to do it with one eye and an eyepatch, so be it… but I bloody well hope not! Thank you for listening, supporting, and being patient with me. I am truly, eternally grateful.show more

I started working at Apple when I was 23... years old and spent ~8 years there. I learned a lot, but deep down, I hated the idea that this was just how life was supposed to be… work at a desk until I’m 65, retire, and then finally have the time to actually live before I die. Today, thanks to Starlink and 𝕏, my life looks completely different vs others. It’s a dream for many, but a reality for me. I can go anywhere in the world - even sit next to a waterfall like this - with internet beamed down to me from space and the ability to instantly share my thoughts with millions of people. I can work. I can create. I can invest in the companies and technologies I believe will change the world. And most importantly, I can do it all while actually living my life and spending my time the way I choose. That kind of freedom is priceless to me. A lot of people often talk about technology in terms of speed, $, or convenience… but I think one of the greatest things technology can give us is freedom… the freedom to work from anywhere, create from anywhere, and build a life that doesn’t have to wait until retirement. Starlink has completely changed what “anywhere” means for me. And the wild thing is, when I close my eyes and think about the life I always dreamed of living in the future… I realize I’m living it right now.show more

I’m trying to compute the last couple days and... honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered. You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little “too much” or “strange” in my life and career. I owe so much to you, your wife and your family - you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.show more

“the court DENIES defendants motion.” I am moved to... tears. After a brutal 3 1/2 years, I am being given the opportunity to move forward in the court of law before the judge and my peers to clear my name. I am so grateful for this opportunity. What happened to me was unacceptable, absurd and abusive, among other things. It should not have happened to me, and it should not happen to anyone else moving forward. Let it stop here. I quite literally fought to get to where I got to in my career through intense ups and downs, and I’ll keep up that fight to continue doing what I love. I appreciate all of you who stood by me and defended me, and I am so sorry that similar situations have happened to some of you. I want you to know that I see you and I stand with you. Thank you to Elon Musk , a man I have never even met, who so graciously gave me a fighting chance. Thank you for standing for justice for all of humanity. May God bless you and your family for years to come because He has chosen you for such a time as this. ❤️ Below is an interview I did with Ben Shapiro 3 1/2 years ago February 2021 at my lowest point. I was wounded and in so much pain, but I feel that pain lifting now. I pray for justice to shine through this case. It’s been one heck of a life. I am looking forward to getting back to the art of storytelling and doing my part to help the world heal. Thank you all. I’m sure it will be quite a battle ahead, but God’s given me the ability to take some punches and give some back. My feet are on solid ground. Imagine what your voice can do. 🕯️show more
