Zuriel Oduwole, who has met and interviewed 23 world leaders and addressed more than 24,900 children across 11 countries on education, sat down with John Kerry at his office at the US State Department in Washington DC to discuss her Dream Up, Speak Up, Stand Up project and other secondary initiatives, such as her filmmaking class for unemployed youths.

The 14-year-old has now taught film making to more than 305 youths across four African countries – including Namibia, Kenya, Mauritius and Nigeria, where her father was born.

Her advocacy saw her made the youngest person to be profiled by Forbes and in November 2014, at age 12, Zuriel became the world’s youngest filmmaker to have a self-produced and self-edited work after her film, A Promising Africa, showed in two movie chains. It was screened in Ghana, England, South Africa and Japan.

Secretary Kerry commended Zuriel for her “clarity of purpose” in her fight for Girls Education in Africa and said he was happy to “recognise a talent” like her. “I don’t believe there is anyone out there under the age of 35 doing anything nearly as much as what you are doing”, the Secretary told Zuriel. “It is incredible you have seen clearly the importance of these global challenges, and taken bold steps to do something about them. . As far as I know, you are the world’s most powerful girl, but you probably just don’t know it. You are inspiring and empowering Africa’s youth, and that is very, very powerful,” he said.

Nigerian singer Davido has always cultivated a culture of sharing is caring in all aspects of his life.


The Nigerian star Davido shares his heart equally with three women: two baby mamas who gave birth to his daughters and his girlfriend Chioma.
And that is not enough. The musician has always been praised for always helping the people around him despite their status in the community.

Now, the 26-year-old father of two has caused a stir on Twitter after casually saying his watchman owns two houses and three cars.

Yes, as you struggle to at least get free rides on Mr sponsor’s car, Davido is busy elevating his employees.
It all started when a tweep named Obong Roviel shared his excitement over news that the musician was working with upcoming act, Lyta.

Obong praised Davido for always supporting everyone who approaches him either in terms of growing their music brand or elevating their businesses.
A proud and happy Davido then said on top of helping Lyta, he has made sure his watchman has cars and houses.

Scrolling through the comment section, nearly everyone agreed with Obong and echoed his sentiments.

Despite the singer being riddled with controversy in the past, he has managed to show he has a heart of gold.
