In 2015, he bagged the Most Influential Publicist of the year awards from CAMA –Canadian Agri-Marketing Association. This award was certainly not the first, neither was it the second; there had been many others ab initio. And the awards never stopped coming. Yet, this media personality with experience from multiple media organisations he worked with, did not leave his head in the clouds –it stayed with him.

We are talking here about one of Nigeria’s most renowned publicist with an array of awards both locally and internationally; one who had the good fortune of meeting and working with countless successful personalities in the Entertainment, Business, politics, and across other professions –many of whom he had the good honour of promoting when they were just starters.

Cornelius Udofia –or Cornel Baba, as he is often called by friends and fans –is a strong Nigerian brand in the business of image making. Since starting out with the likes of Jim Iyke and Ini Edo, and several years down the line with numerous awards to show for this hard work, Cornel does not seem anyway near slowing down in his strides.

He had built for himself an enviable portfolio of celebrities both in and out of Nigeria. His humility in relating with everyone irrespective of race, creed and status, has projected him as the best character required of a publicist. Cornell does not carry any air of showmanship. His greatest pleasure as he puts it:’I like to see people succeed; that is what gives me joy.”

Here are just a few of the personalities this Akwa Ibom State born trail blazer have had working experiences with –Jim Iyke, Ini Edo, Faze, Tonto Dikeh, Tese Onokala, Mama G Davina, Princess, Emeka Ike, Halima Abubakar, Aneke Twins, Amanda, Princess Anne Iyang, Oge Okoye, Ella Mensah, Chief Mike Ozekhomie (SAN), Benita Nzeribe, Vincent Opurum, and many many others.

Cornell have also had the following awards conferred on him: Man of Activities in Entertainment industry; Showbiz Personality of the year; ZAFAA awards UK, RIMA foundation USA; United nations Media Ambassador. So far, this energetic publicist and founder of the Cornel Media Consult (cMc), has counted well over eighty awards received both locally and internationally.

Ambassador Udofia believes everyone has an equal chance at succeeding in life, hence he does not have preference to any particular class of people –high or low, rich or poor, learned or unlearned. His simplicity at working with everyone on almost same footing marks him out as a peoples person, a charismatic leader, a pacesetter. His driving force in others is their commitment to work, and their ability to put trust and honestly in all their dealings.

Cornel Udofia is still in the business of promoting stars and starters. His online platforms have helped professionals across various fields to network and build relationship that transcends business.

World’s Highest IQ Holder Declares: “Jesus Christ Is God” — Sparks Global Reactions Online

World’s Highest IQ Holder Declares: “Jesus Christ Is God” — Sparks Global Reactions Online

World’s Highest IQ Holder Declares: “Jesus Christ Is God” — Sparks Global Reactions Online

In a statement that has set social media abuzz, Dr. YoungHoon Kim, the world’s current highest IQ record holder, publicly declared his unwavering belief in Jesus Christ as God.

The 2024 Guinness-recognized genius, who holds the world title of “The Highest IQ Person Now” with a verified score of 276 by the Official World Record, made the bold declaration on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

His post reads:
“As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”

The statement, simple yet profound, quickly went viral and drew a wave of mixed reactions from across the religious and intellectual spectrum.

One user, @chronicles_Curi, responded in support:
“The creator of all things, the redeemer, the savior of all mankind. He owes me nothing, but I owe Him everything.”

Others, like @AdamBDeen, responded with interfaith reflections:
“As a Muslim, I believe in Jesus Christ, the Messiah, son of Mary, as a prophet of God… Please reference a verse in any version of the Bible where Jesus clearly and undisputedly referred to himself as ‘God.’ This is a sincere question for respectful dialogue.”

A more skeptical take came from @ZenKen99, who wrote:
“So what does this say about your IQ? Jesus said God is within, not that he was God. These teachings are found across many religions—just different names for the same divine power.”

Kim’s statement has reignited conversations around faith, divinity, and the intersection of intelligence and belief, showing that even the brightest minds grapple with the biggest spiritual questions.

Whether hailed as a courageous confession or debated as a theological stance, YoungHoon Kim’s declaration is a reminder that faith and intellect are not always at odds—and that belief remains a deeply personal journey, no matter how high one’s IQ.

Olori Aderonke EmmanuelKing Honoured in Spirit-Filled Birthday Celebration as Valiant Special Prayer Squad Marks Third Anniversary

 

The atmosphere was charged with spiritual fervor and heartfelt celebration as the Valiant Special Prayer Squad, an intercessory arm of Adron Group’s spiritual framework, commemorated its third anniversary in an all-day prophetic gathering that also marked the 48th birthday of its founder, Olori Aderonke Omotola EmmanuelKing.

More than just a ceremonial event, the gathering was a fusion of spiritual depth and leadership tribute, highlighting the synergy between faith, corporate responsibility, and personal devotion. Olori Aderonke, who also serves as the Vice Chairman and Group Executive Director of Adron Group, has over the years exemplified a model of prayer-driven leadership and values-based stewardship.

Since its inception three years ago, the Valiant Special Prayer Squad has evolved into a spiritual backbone for Adron Group, mobilizing staff members, directors, and stakeholders into consistent intercession, prophetic declarations, and communal worship. The third anniversary, therefore, marked not just a chronological milestone, but a testament to divine guidance, unity, and spiritual growth within the organization.

The day-long celebration was rich with vibrant praise, worship sessions, moving testimonies of answered prayers, and exhortations from ministers of the gospel. Spiritual leaders and squad members led fervent sessions of intercession for the celebrant, the company, its leadership, and the nation at large, reinforcing the squad’s identity as a watchtower over corporate and national concerns.

One of the most touching moments was the outpouring of love and tributes directed at Olori Aderonke, whose commitment to spiritual discipline, staff welfare, and personal mentorship was lauded by all in attendance. Colleagues, friends, and mentees shared stories of transformation and growth under her leadership, painting a picture of a woman whose quiet strength has built bridges between the boardroom and the altar.

Adding to the beauty of the moment was the presence and participation of her husband, Aare Adetola EmmanuelKing, Chairman and CEO of Adron Group. His visible support, actively engaging in the entire day’s spiritual sessions was a reflection of their personal bond and a strong endorsement of the spiritual structure his wife has built within the company.

In her address, a visibly moved Olori Aderonke gave thanks to God for the grace to lead and impact lives. She expressed deep appreciation to the squad members, her family, and the entire Adron community for their loyalty and spiritual alignment. She also stressed the need for sustained prayer altars within institutions and homes, declaring that every lasting legacy must first be rooted in divine alignment.

The event concluded with a solemn benediction and communion service that left many in renewal and spiritual empowerment.

As the Valiant Special Prayer Squad marches into its fourth year, it does so with renewed strength, carrying a mandate to not only intercede for Adron Group but to be a beacon of spiritual order in corporate Nigeria.

May Ekayoda’s MEHOPE continue to Empower Vulnerabke Communities.

 

Ex Face of Delta Beauty Queen 2014/2015, May Ekayoda, is a Nigerian-Canadian Certified Home Stager, Interior Designer, Entrepreneur, and dedicated humanitarian. She is the visionary founder of M.E.H.O.P.E (May Ekayoda Helping Orphans & Protecting the Elderly)—a nonprofit organization born from a deep-rooted passion for serving vulnerable communities.

Long before MEHOPE was officially established, May was already engaged in meaningful humanitarian work. As a beauty queen, she championed various outreach projects, focusing on orphans, women, and the elderly—causes that remained close to her heart.

Her journey of compassion began in childhood, witnessing the harsh realities faced by widows, single mothers, orphans, and elderly women in her community. These early encounters with hardship left a lasting impression, igniting in her a deep sense of responsibility and purpose.

What began as small, self-initiated acts of kindness evolved into a larger mission. These formative experiences became the foundation for MEHOPE—an organization driven by empathy, purpose, and a commitment to meaningful change.

May envisioned MEHOPE as a sanctuary for the overlooked and underserved. She believes that by empowering women—particularly those marginalized by society—and safeguarding the well-being of children and the elderly, we can inspire a lasting ripple effect of strength and resilience across generations.

Today, MEHOPE stands as a nonprofit rooted in compassion and action. Through its programs, May channels her vision into real-world impact—offering support, resources, and advocacy to ensure that everyone the organization touches feels seen, valued, and empowered.
