I walked from Kaduna to Zaria to raise money for school abroad- Amina Mohammed

United Nations deputy secretary general, Amina Mohammed, once walked a total of 76 km (47 miles) from Kaduna to Zaria in search of funds to finance her education abroad.

 lawyer has requested that the grave of Ugandan-born South Africa-based late billionaire, Ivan Semwanga, be opened up. The 39-year-old billionaire was buried with a large amount of money said to be about 100 million Ugandan Shillings by family and friends. The lawyer, Tugume Gideon, had deposed that Semwanga was buried with money, a legal tender that no one is allowed to hoard. Ugandan media reports that Gideon had sued to have the grave opened and the money removed, claiming that the money is a legal tender and should not be locked down with anyone. The lawyer has consequently petitioned the high court to have Ivan Semwanga’s grave dismantled . Ivan’s crew, who call themselves the “Rich Gang,” had poured hundreds of notes into the late billionaire’s grave, along with a generous quantity of champagnes. Semwanga was buried Tuesday, May 30, at his home in Kayunga, Uganda.

The former environment minister revealed that she had to raise money when she wanted to study hotel catering management in Italy.
“I said to my father: ‘I’m leaving,’” “He said, ‘OK, but I have no money to give you’. So I challenged everyone and said I am walking from Kaduna to Zaria — which is 76km — to raise the cash. They all said ‘You can’t do it!’ But I raised £4,000, and that was it, I was off.”
Amina Mohammed is the eldest of five daughters and now a mother of six children. Her father, a herdsman and a former military officer, met her mother, a nurse, while studying in Britain. After Mohammad finished her studies in Italy, her father demanded she return to Nigeria, and to a job — he promised — at the then American embassy in Kaduna.

According to her, when she arrived Nigeria, it quickly became apparent there was no job. “So I walked around and around and, eventually, I was 11 years at an architectural design office in northern Nigeria. It was tough being a single woman and going into offices,” she says.
“The men would say, ‘Why is she here?’ They also often thought I couldn’t speak the native languages, so I would hear an awful lot of stuff they thought I couldn’t understand, I can tell you.”
After years in the private sector, Mohammad served under the president Olusegun Obasanjo, the late  Yar'adua, and former president Goodluck Jonathan before becoming adviser to Ban Ki-moon, Guterres’ predecessor as secretary general, on the post-2015 development agenda.
