EGYPT AND SAUDI ARABIA SEAL DEAL ON $4B MOSES BRIDGE

Africa and Asia are about to get a major connection boost! Egypt and Saudi Arabia have officially greenlit the $4 billion Moses Bridge, linking Sharm El-Sheikh to Ras Hamid across the Red Sea via the Strait of Tiran .

The mega project is expected to serve over 1 million travelers annually once complete — with construction now set to begin!

I refused to settle for a life of clapping from the sidelines—praising politicians and their privileged children while doing little for my own development. I chose instead to invest in myself. Not for show, not for applause, but because I believe in personal growth, global exposure, and staying ready for whatever the future holds.

While many remain stuck in cycles that favor the powerful and their inner circles, I decided to chart my own course. I got a second address. I pursued an international degree. These weren’t status symbols—they were strategic moves to align with a world that rewards preparation and reinvention.

In countries where leadership often looks inward—protecting their own while the rest struggle—it becomes clear: no one is coming to save you. You have to build yourself—educationally, financially, mentally, and emotionally—to stay ahead. That’s not ambition; it’s survival.

Real growth isn’t just about stamps in your passport or diplomas on your wall. It’s about stretching your thinking, building resilience, acquiring new tools, and learning how to thrive in unfamiliar territory. That’s where real value lies—in your ability to adapt, lead, and create impact wherever you are.

Staying comfortable is risky. Today’s “secure” can vanish tomorrow. The only lasting safety net is growth. So take the leap. Read. Travel. Study. Evolve. The world is shifting fast—and it favors those who move with it.

Yesterday evening, VDM took an emergency flight from Abuja to Lagos to join Sir Allen Onyema, the Chairman of Air Peace, and officials from NAPTIP in welcoming over 70 trafficked Nigerian girls returning from Ivory Coast.

As a concerned citizen, VDM has used his platform to raise awareness about human trafficking, which brought about collaborations with Sir Allen Onyema and NAPTIP.

According to VDM, Sir Allen Onyema provided an Air Peace aircraft free of charge to bring these victims home safely. In doing so, he incurred significant financial losses of over ₦300 million, due to delays in the girls' travel schedule. In addition, he covered the cost of medical checkups for all the victims.

NAPTIP also fulfilled its role by ensuring these girls were located and safely repatriated.

To the naysayers, why do you hate VDM and what he stands for? Why do you despise someone who speaks up for the common man? Why do you oppose the work he does to protect and uplift vulnerable Nigerians?

Before I got married, one big man that I was very close to told me "Udo, don't worry. Just let me know when you see the woman you want to marry. I will handle the rest."

Fast forward to when I wanted to marry, I went to give him an official invitation.

I even went with two cartons of expensive wine.

Two days to my wedding, I got an alert of 20k from this man.

LESSON

Marry when you are ready o. No go dey depend on anyone.

All the people telling you go and marry upandan will leave you when you are ready to.

If you'd listen to me, no do WHITE WEDDING. It's a waste of resources. It has no spiritual significance. Anyways, I still did it

Never ever ever ever ever ever borrow to do wedding.... NEVER!

Some of things I wished I did instead of elaborate wedding.

- Use the money and travel to somewhere and enjoy life with my wife.

- Invest in a business and be sure of a good return in one year.

- I would rather do an elaborate traditional wedding than white wedding.

- I will never advise anyone to use 100% of their savings to do wedding (trad&white). I did it and that was foolishness.

If you can't travel to Europe, travel to Nigeria, Seychelles, South Africa, Kenya, Namibia, Morocco, Angola, Algeria and Egypt.

People Buy Hair in China for 300k and sell in Nigeria for 800k .

When VDM made a video showing how much profits hair vendors make and trying to help young Nigerians connect with Chinese vendors , we heard something like how much is shipping and customs

Last year I travelled to China , bought 15 iPhones and my profits was 250k per iPhone . I paid no customs or shipping . I simply removed it from the boxes and added to my luggage . Hair is NOT heavy , you can package even 100 hair and hold as your hand luggage . The problem with many of you is you think traveling is a mystery and anything entering an airplane costs so much.

Some Nigerians are calling for the ãrrest of Very Dark Man over the statements he made against Tinubu and his son Seyi. He said

""Seyi Tinubu,Your father is old, and the people around him, their bra!ns are dusty with cobwêbs and even you as Nigerian youth leader are not useful to us".

Recall that few days ago, VDM traveled to China and since his stay, he has been calling out Nigerian government, with claims that every Nigerian should go to China and see what it means to have a developed country with working government.

Meanwhile, what he said about Nigerian president and his son didn't go down well for some individuals who want him arréstéd with claims that Seyi Tinubu has been doing his best for Nigerians in terms of empowerments, feeding the hungry, and housing the homéléss ones
