GEM-USA and BOA distribute palliative to Dongo community in Lagos, Nigeria

GEM-USA and BOA distribute palliative to Dongo community in Lagos, Nigeria

The belief that location matters when it comes to success and good fortune is usually not true; if that Ideology is true then Dongo Community will still be left out of the Global Empowerment Movement and Blessings of Africa Foundation Altruistic visitation with Palliatives.

Dongo Community, a suburb in Lagassa in Ibeju Lekki axis of Lagos comes alive on Sunday when GEM USA/ BOA extended palliatives to them. The community lacks all the basic amenities, like schools, healthcare, electricity, potable water etc.; their only means of transportation in and out of the community are their locally made canoes and motor engines without any measure of safety on board.

Dongo Community is a smallish island surrounded by trees, and separated from the Lagassa, Laokwe and Bogije Towns by water. The small community seems to be cut away from the development going on in around Ibeju Lekki axis of Lagos

The Coronavirus pandemic is far from being over but life must move on and as the world over gradually returns to normal life with all safety measures still in place, one woman, an Amazon with a heart of Gold and love for motherland Africa is working round the clock by the day to see how to improve the lots of the Motherland, in the light of that, she decided to single-handedly provide palliatives of foodstuffs to put smiles on the faces of the less privileged. She empowers the Nigeria Representative of the Global Empowerment Movement (GEM) and The Blessings of Africa (BOA) Foundation, Mr Paul-Julius Obomokhai and his team to take palliatives to the people of Dongo Community in Lagos Nigeria.

The great humanitarian, Dr Queen Blessing Itua, Founder and President of GEM USA and BOA Foundation despite living in the United States of America always work and think Africa and how to better the Motherland. She Specifically instructed that the Beneficiaries be identified and be served the palliatives in persons on a one-on-one, hand-by-hand basis; this is so so that actual beneficiaries get the food supplies.

Dongo Community is ruled by a very humble man, great leader and Father, Chief Samsondeen Hassan, Bale of Dongo community.

The team which was led by Mr Paul Julius Obomokhai, Movie Director /GEM/BOA Nigeria Representative, had other notable personalities from Nollywood and the Media as delegates. Other team members include;

Special thanks to Akanni Jamiu, the Aro 1 of Dongo Community, who facilitated the meeting with the community and Chief Samsondeen Hassan, Bale of Dongo community

In a chat with Access weekly magazine media team, Mr Paul-Julius said that Dr Queen Blessing Itua usual statement is “Nothing makes life sweeter than making people happy” he explained that the people we are helping today might become our soldiers in the battle of life tomorrow, he said Dr Queen Blessing would have chosen to invest her resources in properties but she decided otherwise because to her, to invest in people is far far better. As we try to make money, we must also try hard to make people happy and clean their tears, because it is a more honourable thing to acquire. He said the greatest desire of Dr Itua is raising achievers, she promised to assist the People of Dongo to acquire some of the basic social amenities like, Clean drinking water, school and electricity that makes life a lot better. She thanked the team for engaging in such an arduous task of crossing the lagoon with such dangerous boats without life jackets, no insurance and putting their lives on the line to put smiles on the faces of the people and bringing happiness to the good and hospitable people of Dongo Community.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computerized machine that has in principle self-learning and problem-solving capabilities independent of human operators. The hardware of such machines are currently manufactured by human hands, and the initial operating software are entered by human programmers. In the future, it is realistic to expect that machines will give birth to other machines without the interactions of human creators; most modern automobiles are already predominantly built by robots on mass production lines. Although the concepts of robots and androids (robots that resemble humans) have been in popular culture for over a century, the serious academic research into AI is only a few decades in maturity. Recent modern advancements in robotics and supercomputers have provided the platforms from which true AI cognitive machines are beginning to emerge from the realm of science fiction into scientific reality. Blockchain is a virtual ledger of informational data consisting of blocks of records linked securely in a coded cryptographic chain. It was initially developed in 2008 in the creation of a digital cryptocurrency named Bitcoin. In principle, a blockchain is managed by an open distributed collective peer-to-peer network that verifies each block of data, in the case of cryptocurrency these verification would be on financial transactions between various parties. Once a block of data is verified by majority consensus of the network, it is recorded and can no longer be altered, and the chain grows into the next linked block. These original blockchains are decentralized open network systems, which is one of the main reason for the popularity of Bitcoin, as it removes the creation and supervisory control of money away from centralized financial institutes and governments, allowing for secured private trades with no restrictive borders or scrutiny.

Blockchain has evolved into much more than just digital money; its fundamental technological building blocks can be utilized in any applications that processes and stores data, which in our modern computer age basically means it can be a valuable tool in almost everything such as healthcare management, transportation logistics, financial exchange platforms, even combating poverty and climate change. AI machines will require the acquisition and processing of vast amounts of input data, from which the main central processing units (CPU) will analyze and employ actions based on its evolving programs. The nature of an evolving blockchain is ideally suited to incorporation into AI as an artificial neural network that grows along with the intelligence of the machine.

Our Collective collaborative partnership with Yezcoin, provides access to the most advanced of technologies and technical resources to develop an unique holistic operating model ideally suited to providing a modern global one-shop application platform.

This major UN summit will be focused on three dominant areas of critical importance, essentially relating to humanity’s past, present and future developments, applications and interactions with advanced AI and blockchain technologies.

  • Technology will cover the past developments of AI and blockchain.
  • Commercial will cover the present applications and potential merging of both AI and blockchain.
  • Humanity will cover the future interactions and control over AI-blockchain supremacy.

For the humanity debate, focus will be on how an advanced AI-Blockchain Matrix can be utilized to combat both global poverty and climate change as part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) initiatives.
