A Lil Positivity: Black Billionaire Robert Smith Offers Full Scholarships To Chibok Girls

Black Billionaire Robert Smith Offers Full Scholarships To Chibok Girls Billionaire tech investor and equity titan Robert Smith was recently named at one of the richest people in the world but the quiet guru has also invested his money for the culture. The billionaire has now pledged to help pay for the education of 24 girls from the Chibok region in Nigeria, many of whom escaped Boko Haram last year according to Forbes . Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Nigeria’s President, Garba Shehu, says the scholarships will help the young girls after their traumatic ordeal. Shehu said that the girls will be admitted through negotiation at the prestigious American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, with the American billionaire footing the entire bill of the girls’ tuition, accommodation, feeding and other related expenses. It costs anywhere from $5,000 to $11,000 a year to educate a student at the school which is owned by wealthy frontline Nigerian politician and businessman Atiku Abubakar. “Smith has offered to pay for the education of the 21 released through negotiations and is offering to take responsibility for all the others who will hopefully be eventually set free,’’ Shehu added.

These lies were so bold, one almost has to admire them for their audacity. Almost, that is. See what we mean below… 1. Ryan Lochte Ryan Lochte claimed he was held up and robbed at gunpoint during the Rio Olympics. He failed to mention that he actually vandalized a gas station bathroom and the person holding the gun was a security guard who was trying to control Lochte and his teammates. 2. Brian Williams Brian Williams was paid to deliver the news for NBC. But he delivered lies about his experience in Iraq when telling viewers in January of 2015 that a helicopter he was riding in many years earlier had been shot down. It hadn’t been. 3. Steve Rannazzisi Steve Rannazzisi claimed in 2009 that he narrowly escaped death while inside one of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2011. But… nope. He wasn’t there at all. 4. Bill Clinton Clinton once said he did not have sex with “that woman,” Monica Lewinsky, back when he was President and she was an intern. He later had to admit that his penis was in her mouth on more than one occasion. 5. Lance Armstrong Remember all those years that Armstrong spend VEHEMENTLY denying that he ever took performance enhancing drugs? He finally came clean and admitted to it all during an interview with Oprah. 6. Brandy In 2002, Brandy stunned fans when she announced she was pregnant … and had secretly gotten hitched to producer Robert Smith in 2001. The couple then starred on the reality show Brandy: Special Delivery, which tracked the birth of daughter Sy’rai in summer 2002.
