EMPOWERMENT CORNER!

Posted by admin Written by Dr. Peregrino Brimah (ENDS initiative) Buhari and Osinbajo have to address the right issues to fight terror Inequality is the bane of terrorism Poverty does not create terrorists. A lack of Western education does not fester terror. These popular misconceptions needs to be reviewed. We are being disrespectful and disingenuous when we falsely accuse the poor or Western-uneducated of being prone to terror. I am proud to belong to the poor group. Whatever I make financially, I quickly distribute and usually have an empty account, oft needing to borrow money. We poor folk are not terrorists. While in college, I was beaten and threatened to join confraternities. I never did. I was not more Western-educated than my colleagues who signed up with those college terror organisations. I only had a better moral grounding and more fear of God. I knew that man must not harm and kill for stupid reasons or parade in the bush and beat and cut one another ...

Posted by admin By Walid Shoebat There is much in the Bible about Iran and it even described the nuclear catastrophe that will result from Obama’s nuclear deal with it. You think this is far-fetched? Just read. For years, Bible prophecy analysts had missed the verses and for years, we have been on record stating that Iran will gain its nukes and so far we were the few who were correct, while the rest still contemplate Israel removing the threat before it happens. We were no geniuses to figure all this, we just read the Bible as Muslims and saw in it that we needed salvation, so we converted and believed. But before we share the obvious references that are rarely read, lets explain how this deal is a total catastrophe. Iran holds the world’s fourth-largest proved crude reserves and the second-largest natural gas reserves, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The Iran nuclear deal is likely to provide little benefit for...

Pride anchors on glory, success and achievement. Meaning that, it is impossible to develop pride without the aforementioned factors above! The expression of pride now comes alive in you when you begin to nurture the thought of those elements as means of comparison between you and anybody else. Pride is simply an inflated ego that has gone out of perspectives and control. You see yourself not only better but also the most qualified especially when it comes to getting preferences. All these often starts from the mind and that is why the only antidote is HUMILITY. You must humiliate your mind by considering others first before yourself otherwise you will perpetually fall into the trap of pride easily. So stop overrating yourself just because of those factors above and start appreciating God for whatever privilege you might have enjoyed in your life time so far: degrees, certificates, spouse, home, family background, riches, gadgets, devices, eloquence, position, title, intelligence, beau...

Introduction Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterised by slow and inaccurate word recognition. Developmental dyslexia causes difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and spelling. Learning difficulties associated with dyslexia may be caused by: Visual problems through not being able to recognise shape and form. Reading speed, accuracy or comprehension. Phoneme segmentation (cannot see or hear the components and then put them together to create meaning and to spell the words). Acquired dyslexias This is reading impairment following some form of brain insult in individuals with previously normal levels of reading ability. It is frequently associated with aphasia where patients will exhibit a type of dyslexia in keeping with their form of aphasia - eg, fluent aphasics will have difficulties understanding printed word meanings while non-fluent aphasics will have trouble with grammatical aspects of reading. Epidemiology Dyslexi...

Any Gmail user, who regrets a message they just sent, has the option to undo the action, provided they are quick enough, a report said on Wednesday. It added that the new “Undo Send’’ option allowed a message to be retrieved, so long as it is clicked upon within 30 seconds of the “Send’’ command being hit. “The idea is to give users a second chance if they catch a mistake or realise they have sent a note to the wrong person. “The function has, so far, only been available as an experimental feature. “It is still not automatic, as availability has to be activated in the setting,’’ the report noted. “ However, it added that the users could opt for the “undo’’ function to work for between five and 30 seconds after the initial “send’’.

Posted by admin on July 13, 2015. The US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has stated that they would continue to pressurize Nigeria until it legalizes same sex marriage. Thomas-Greenfield made this know during a live-web chat with journalists in Washington. The God’s Own country recently legalized gay marriage, a development, which sparked global condemnations. According to her, America was not bothered that Chinese companies were fast taking over the African market from their US counterparts. President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to visit the country in few weeks time. Thomas-Greenfield, who said the US had adopted the protection of the rights of same-sex people as part of its foreign policies, vowed that Washington would continue to mount and sustain pressure on Nigeria and other countries to reverse their laws against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community. She said, “ As a government, it is one of...

It's two years today since I lost my first love and wife, Mrs Oluwatobiloba Enitan Ruth Akindolani nee Oladejo . It has been really challenging on all front! The gallant role she played in my life while alive was practical, feasible and tangible. She was a raregem and epitome of intelligence by all standards. I was all that mattered to her! At least, the first priority! She treated me as if I was another baby of hers except that I was an older one in this case though seemed awkward to me then but later appreciated her reasons for behaving in such manner since I can't have two mothers (Lol!). Without any doubt, she was simply in her own class. I miss her more now than when she was alive. Like they say, "You don't value what you have until you loose it". I did value her but never knew her true worth and I think I do now! Anyway, it is well! God knew better and why she was taken away so early but who am I to question His authority? I know it wasn't His p...

Meet twins Paula and Peter Imafidon – they passed the University of Cambridge Advanced Maths A level at age 8! They chat with GMTV’s John Stapleton. The 8-year-old twins from Waltham Forest in northeast London are a part of the highest-achieving clan in the history of Great Britain education. The two youngest Nigerian siblings are about to make British history as the youngest students to ever enter high school. They astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge’s advanced mathematics exam. That’s on top of the fact they have set world records when they passed the A/AS-level math papers. Chris Imafidon, their father, said he’s not concerned about his youngest children’s ability to adapt to secondary school despite their tender age. “We’re delighted with the progress they have made,” he said. “Because they are twins they are always able to help and support each other.” To Peter and Paula’s parents, this is ...

Posted by admin, Barely a month after Muhammadu Buhari , became Nigeria’s President, many Nigerians are already reminding him of his campaign promises. It would be recalled that the former head of state was sworn in as the country’s President on May 29, 2015, after he defeated former president Goodluck Jonathan. In this regards, a famous social commentator, Ike Chidolue, on Saturday,  June 27, went on his Facebook page to post 81 campaign promises made by Buhari. Below are the campaign promises as posted by Chidolue: 1. Public declaration of assets and liabilities 2. State and community policing 3. Ban on all government officials from seeking medical care abroad 4. Implementation of the National Gender Policy, including 35% of appointive positions for women 5. Revival of Ajaokuta steel company 6. Generation, transmission and distribution of at least 20,000 MW of electricity within four years and increasing to 50,000 MW with a view to achieving 24/7 uninterru...

The budget-conscious segment of the pay- Television market in Nigeria has been strident in its push for a pay-as-watch (PAYW) model. This push is encouraged by the use of the pay-as-you- go (PAYG) model in the telecommunications sector, which also adopted the per-second billing system after an initial reluctance. Pay-As-You-Watch, most pay-TV subscribers are convinced, will free them from monthly contracts and introduce greater flexibility in how they watch television. More than that, many are convinced that the model is already in operation in South Africa and want its adoption in Nigeria. There is no such thing as pay-as-you-watch TV in South Africa. What exists is the monthly contract model like we have in Nigeria and other countries of the world. Pay-as-you-watch is often confused with pay-per- view (PPV). Are they the same? No. The PPV model allows a subscriber to watch some special events, usually of the high-ticket variety in sports and entertainment, by pay...

Posted By admin on June 19, 2015 @segunakindolani There are plenty of good reasons to stay with someone. There are at least thrice as many reasons to cut things off and move on with your life. If the person you’re dating isn’t someone who’s deserving of you — if he or she doesn’t treat you with love and respect, make you happy, make you look forward to waking up in the morning next to him or her — then you need to hit the road. I don’t believe in there being only one single person out there for each of us. Life is far too complex. There are certainly multiple individuals out there in the world right now deserving of your love. There could very well be dozens of men or women who would make you feel like you’ve met the one. It’s not always his or her fault things aren’t working out. And just because that is so doesn’t mean it’s your fault either — there’s probably no need for you to feel guilty. When some...

Posted by admin Hardwork doesn't wear people out. It is wrong work that does. However, it is necessary to take note of how we make the most of time even after work in order to become more productive anytime we are back on the job. Here are few tips that can lighten up our work lives: 1. At the end of the day develop an unwinding routine to signal the brain that you are leaving work. Your mind must truly be ready to free itself from any work entanglement after the close of the day. Wash your coffee or tea mug, and tidy away your work environment. Clear the clutter to clear the mind. 2. On your way home try to unwind by listening to music or playing puzzles probably on your gadgets incase you have such. If you drive in your own personal ride then listen to the radio. 3. As soon as you enter your house, put away and hide anything that is office related (e.g., clothes, laptops, briefcase, lunch boxes etc.). 4. Find time during the day to give yourself  a 15-20 minutes break purpo...

The sudden drop of our electricity generation to 1327MW in recent time is totally unacceptable and simply reveals the ineptitude and inefficiency of both past and present government. Coupled with the scarce petroleum product, most Nigerians were made to face a hard timeout. What can we do with that capacity ? Definitely , less ! Personally, it got so 'good' that i had to without my 'precious' phone for almost three days. This is not the way to go as a nation. Things must be done right in this area of power. The privatisation exercise by the BPE looks more or less like a sham that needs to properly rechecked because there is no positive effect of the change. We need to start taking positive steps by copying other nation's models in ensuring development in that area. We should begin to look away from the conventional way of generating power . Don't know why we can't look into solar and wind power as a national project. Within 4 years we can ...

Many homes today are full of strife, wrath and every other form of vices at the home-front. This is as a result of lack of Wisdom in living and managing the home.

Both the man and the woman have a role to play. Below are listed the counsels needed by a wise woman: 1). Never raise your voice for any reason on your husband.
