It also covers other conditions that affect how people develop.

Second, the book is full of useful information. It shares ideas that are based on scientific evidence. This makes it a valuable resource for many people. Parents can use it to help their children. Caregivers can use it to support better the people they look after. Professionals who work with people who have these conditions can also learn a lot from this book.

Third, the book gives power to families. It provides clear steps that families can take. These steps can help create a healthier home environment. This environment can better support family members who have these conditions.

On sharing this information on his social media, Familusi expressed how very proud he is of Tolu. His caption read,

Familusi believes the book is something everyone should read.

He thinks it will be especially helpful for people who care for individuals with autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, or other similar conditions.

At the end of the post, Familusi reiterated his pride in his cousin by saying, “Congratulations on this incredible achievement Tolu!’

Tolu has achieved something amazing by writing this book. It shows her dedication to helping others. She has used her knowledge and experience to create a resource that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

The launch of the book was a special moment. It was a chance to celebrate Tolu’s hard work and the potential impact of her book. Having FAB.NG there to witness the event adds to its significance. It shows that the book launch was an important event that attracted media attention.

Nigerian singer Davido has always cultivated a culture of sharing is caring in all aspects of his life.


The Nigerian star Davido shares his heart equally with three women: two baby mamas who gave birth to his daughters and his girlfriend Chioma.
And that is not enough. The musician has always been praised for always helping the people around him despite their status in the community.

Now, the 26-year-old father of two has caused a stir on Twitter after casually saying his watchman owns two houses and three cars.

Yes, as you struggle to at least get free rides on Mr sponsor’s car, Davido is busy elevating his employees.
It all started when a tweep named Obong Roviel shared his excitement over news that the musician was working with upcoming act, Lyta.

Obong praised Davido for always supporting everyone who approaches him either in terms of growing their music brand or elevating their businesses.
A proud and happy Davido then said on top of helping Lyta, he has made sure his watchman has cars and houses.

Scrolling through the comment section, nearly everyone agreed with Obong and echoed his sentiments.

Despite the singer being riddled with controversy in the past, he has managed to show he has a heart of gold.
