I remembered a few years ago in The Yellow House Library how I often used movies as pointers to our existence.

Every movie carries different interpretations in our minds, and to me, films are often a gateway to understanding the way the universe is coded.

The first movie I ever broke down for the kids was Jumanji probably a favorite for them, but beneath the surface lay a multi-layered pattern of our existence and avatars.

That same multi-layered pattern brings us to the ancient proverb of the Three Wise Monkeys.
Hollywood calls them horror blockbusters; the universe calls them spiritual blueprints, and the scriptures warned us long before:

1. SEE NO EVIL •Bird Box•
The Code:
What you allow before your eyes can consume your mind.

Psalm 101:3— “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes...”

2. SPEAK NO EVIL •A Quiet Place•
The Code:
Silence is protection, and words carry the power of life and death.

Ephesians 4:29 —“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying...”

3. HEAR NO EVIL •Don’t Breathe•
The Code:
In total darkness, what you listen to determines your survival.

Proverbs 4:24–25— “Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee...”

Guard your eyes. Guard your tongue. Guard your ears.

When you look past the entertainment, what is cinema trying to show you about your own avatar?

Real Change Begins With Us…

Real change in our communities doesn’t happen by accident it starts from within and spreads outward.

When we talk about making education sustainable in underserved communities, it isn’t just about building classrooms or handing out textbooks. It begins with self-awareness.

When young minds realize their worth, understand their potential, and take ownership of their future, learning transforms from a requirement into a movement.

But self-awareness needs a foundation to lean on. That’s where supportive, community-centered initiatives come in.
Through innovative work like most of our projects at The Babatunde Babafemi Educational Foundation we can see are show grassroots action, mentorship, and life-skills training can bridge the gap.

When we equip young people with both the self-belief and the real-world tools to succeed honestly, we don’t just educate a child we empower an entire community to thrive. 🌱📚

Educational sustainability is a collective effort:
1️⃣ Awareness within the individual.
2️⃣ Opportunity through supportive projects.
3️⃣ Growth for the entire community.

Let’s keep supporting initiatives that build people, not just promises. How are you contributing to educational growth in your circle and Nigeria today?

WE ARE THE RECIEVER PART i of xi


Sigh

I have told myself I will not write a poem
till
the day the sea eats up the sun: but remembered there are tales on my tongue as exactly as a thing called timeless.

• It was Wednesday, my iPhone 11 Pro exactly 4%—I mean low.

• Writer's block decapod, but I have many tales in my belly: one I will share, and one later, and then more later.

11:11
I met a boy, he reminds me of me, believe me if you care, these conversations are true.

I met a boy,
he reminds me of me
but
black as a Sudanese.

I told him, "You remind me of me," because his eyes see the world through a similar scope as mine.

“You will do well in your world,”
I told him.


22:22 (i of i out of xi)

I begin to notice a pattern of time, of place, of occurrence and incidence. The shift begins after Covid—a new download for Human 2.0.

My father of blessed memory showed a little of what you can do with telepathy skills.
He said enlightenment begins when you

say
“Telephone—I mean say teleport, say television, say tele... you are the tele, you are the code.”

3:33 ( ii of i out of xi)

Psalm 119:79 (Turn to me)

To seek knowledge,
one must enjoy suffering.
Like
freedom said to me in my sleep, it said,

“This universe is not a respecter of persons.”

Those who seek the truth understand
how to prepare a broth made from stone soup

that is to say, one must endure the
consequences of knowing.

Wednesday
3rd day of the working class

The time is 3:33 on the dot on my iPhone 11 pro

I peep outside the window across the hailing street; a conductor spits on a yellow bus.

The bus plate number reads
KJ**-33:3K. Spooky…

Sigh….
Here is the beginning of the real story, an incident has occurred and I need your full attention..

The complete poetry is on the back cover of this book.

Wow!!

2years
23 Different Nigerian Local Governments,
2 Countries.
1,369+ children and adults reached
12 teachers benefiting

I am Super proud of our contribution so far towards elevating the conversation of literacy in our community.

Last week, I visited a local community in my area, and it amazed me that the majority of children from underserved homes haven’t even known or heard about Artificial Intelligence, or understood technology. These are our leaders of tomorrow, and it is not a hidden fact that we are in the age of machines. The inclusion of this group is definitely a plus in the revolution. Bridging this gap and making sure that, no matter how little the resources are, the less privileged are also given the knowledge and benefits of Artificial Intelligence.

I was opportune to show them a little bit of the power of artificial intelligence through Gemini AI, which I used to generate The Babatunde Babafemi Educational Foundation outreach map within and outside Nigeria. As part of our foundation’s aims and objectives, we will do all we can, now and in the future, to make sure kids from underserved communities also join the AI train before it’s to late.

We can’t wait to share with you our progress and development on this mission.

Today, on Children’s Day, we celebrate a beautiful milestone: in just two years, our Foundation has reached over 1,369+ children across Nigeria (&Mozambique) We can proudly say we are living our founding dream
-igniting literacy and bringing quality education to underserved communities. On this special day, our lifelong prayer is that children everywhere discover their unique spark, and find the guiding hands they need to unlock their infinite potential.

Happy Children’s day.

Hebrews 11 of Faith and Hope

Rain was falling, the pitter-patter sound landing heavily on his roof. He couldn’t sleep, his mind consumed by how to make a real change in his immediate community. It was on a Sunday night when my phone rang. It was our Northern Lead for the foundation who called, Mr. Mohammed Mustapha.

He said he couldn’t sleep because he felt a heavy weight- there was simply more to be done. His mind could find no peace seeing more and more children out of school.

I had earlier discussed with him the burning need to reach more kids and enroll as many as we possibly could.

“Boss, do we still have funds to process? I want to scout my community and see how many kids we can lift off the street.”

Although our hands had reached the very bottom of the barrel, the pocket bone-dry and the night getting darker around us, a spark of hope and belief flared up within me. I answered:

“YES, WE CAN.”

A few days later, a call came in from an old acquaintance who shared that exact same sacred belief with us:

“Creating a community where every child from an underserved community has access to education.”

And today, because of that leap of faith, we have 14 beautiful souls enrolled at Numba Koro Nursery and Primary School in Numba, Suleja, Niger State, Nigeria.

I am profoundly grateful for the strength of mind to remain focused amidst the chaos, and filled with deep gratitude to God for giving us the light to continue this journey. Truly, God is the greatest.

In line with our foundation’s mission to promote literacy by supporting educational projects, we have shifted our focus to Northern Nigeria. There, a Christian-led school sought assistance in constructing their facilities.

We were pleased to donate bags of cement and sand to support the build. A special thank you goes to the team at The Babatunde Babafemi Educational Foundation for mobilizing the resources necessary to bring this project to life.

As the founder of The Yellow House Library (Now The Babatunde Babafemi Educational Foundation) discovering this post was a truly heartening moment. It is an honor to see our past and continuous efforts in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, mentioned alongside national initiatives like those in Denmark.

Our mission has always been rooted in the belief that a child's economic background should never dictate their access to the transformative power of a story. Seeing our students re-enroll in school and reclaim their confidence is the ultimate reward, but having that work recognized by Embassy of Denmark in Nigeria gives our community an extra boost of inspiration.

Reading isn't just a skill - it's a bridge to a better future. Thank you for helping us shine a light on the importance of literacy in Nigeria.

Thank you for this recognition! I hope that in the future, we can foster a collaboration that will elevate the conversation surrounding literacy in Nigeria. I would love to see our actual local library featured further in your future media presentations

Happy World Book Day!📚

Not too long ago, celebrating a day dedicated to books might have looked unnecessary. But today, as we journey through a world overflowing with information, the simple act of reading has become more important than ever. Books offer us a chance to slow down, dive into different worlds, and truly connect with stories and ideas.

In Denmark 🇩🇰, initiatives like the national program launched in 2023 aims to build a strong reading culture among children and young people. Similarly, in Nigeria 🇳🇬, many projects are in place to rekindle the love for books. One inspiring example is the 'Yellow House Library' in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. It provides children from low-income households with access to reading materials and educational support, helping many re-enroll in school and excel in their studies.

On this special day, let us continue to nurture the love for reading, and empower and strengthen the communities around us.

If getting an education for their wards is a bridge, these parents are ready to cross it.

The team in Northern Nigeria (led by MO Oftbbef and Mohammad Kana Faeezah) doing incredible work visiting underserved homes and offering life-changing educational opportunities.

It is a great joy to see parents putting in every effort to ensure their wards can access education at all levels. Pictured here in our service centre are parents like Mrs. Hafsat Tanimu, Mrs. Khadijah Tanimu, and Mrs. Farida Adamu all from KwaKwashe, Suleja, Niger State. They are proof that as long as there is an opportunity to grow and develop, Nigerians will always be ready to embrace it.
We are honored to provide the necessary lift and support for their children’s educational needs.

Our foundation, The Babatunde Babafemi Educational Foundation, remains committed to supporting and elevating the conversation on literacy in Nigeria today.
