Congratulations to her
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, beauty and brains. Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteAbreast with Modupe! I remember that caption on a newspaper in the early 2000,then I was in jss2 & we were staring at Ms Modupe's plastic boobs,that must have been the first time I heard of plastic surgery .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations beautiful
ReplyDeleteShe has philantrophy in her DNA. I have always admired her zeal and her courage . How she works tirelessly and unperturbed by the ugly face of racism to garner support and contributions from her American sponsors. She is not deterred when doors are closed in her face, she moves on and knocks on the next door.
ReplyDeleteThis girl, Modupe Ozolua, rocks. My respect.
This woman doesn't age. Still same all these years.

Oh God! this is what I want to do in life!,this is what I was born to do in life,I love to give to people,I love to help,serve people ,I do that my own way but I wish it was on a larger scale.
ReplyDeleteI've tried unsuccessfully to get a job in a NGO,I don't even mind internship as long as I can meet and touch people's life the little way I can.
Congrats Princess Ozolua,you inspire me.Until I die,I will continue to fight till my dreams are actualize.
Then stop trying to get a job in an NGO and start looking at other ways to help people. Look within your church, do you even serve in your estate management committee for free? You can work in a regular company and still make impact in your personal space. Little by little, what you seek will find you. You cant make big impact if you havent made small impact (ask Fela Durotoye who ran for president when even his neighbours in VGC have not felt his impact). My point is: Dont start discouraged to start small.
Delete*be discouraged to start small
DeleteBeautiful Modupe she no dey old.... congrats....
ReplyDeleteA woman with a heart of gold.
