And at a point, this colleague of mine alighted from the car and crossed from the junction to the other side of the road, for her delivery assignment. Then I made U-Turn to face the direction we earlier came from - so as to park and wait for her (my colleague). As I was making this turn, a lady walked </span><span style="font-size: large;">across,</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">towards the front of the car with a little hesitation, and I held the brake to let her pass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Few seconds later, I was done parking the car. Then, in just about 2 to three minutes after, I looked straight down the street, at the direction the car was now facing; and I saw that this same lady, whom though appeared to be walking calmly and gently, but she had moved and walked down so far! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wow!! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I almost couldn't believe my eyes. So I began to wonder how she did it - without jumping on either a bike or a bus.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHw_q88AnS2Iw556ZESUVJk_cAwn79iHVuCCRQKj32XlsndyhggFztOLVg8IAeOYy29Z3hvvu088eTXrNEHZVWaaD9lV4CuLZEd-sOyYMW-65C2RzhlaYWMxDgJNkpAl6Vl3fsb7gii-Fq/s206/HES.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="206" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHw_q88AnS2Iw556ZESUVJk_cAwn79iHVuCCRQKj32XlsndyhggFztOLVg8IAeOYy29Z3hvvu088eTXrNEHZVWaaD9lV4CuLZEd-sOyYMW-65C2RzhlaYWMxDgJNkpAl6Vl3fsb7gii-Fq/w360-h273/HES.png" width="360" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">As I was still pondering on this wonder, a still voice then whispered to me and said "Femi see, such is life. It is only when people stop trying or when they have finally given up that their progression ends. But for as long as you keep moving, no matter how slowly, you will still go far someday". </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I literally just received some unusual wisdom from the event that has just played out, right there and then! Then I smiled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But I decided I would put down this experience and share it with others that might be inspired by it. By the way, for those who are very sensitively observant like me, you will see that LIFE IS FILLED WITH LOTS OF LESSONS, INSPIRATIONS and WISDOM - which are really hard to come by, unless one pays special and quiet attentions to the happenings around.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Now, what is the moral of the experience that I have just shared? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is that, for you to get ahead in life, you must keep moving, keep trying and keep working. It really doesn't matter how long, or how many times that you have tried and failed before. Some persons (especially motivational speakers), and even some pastors, may have at different times suggested it to you that - if you are not married at 25, become a graduate at 23, become wealthy at 40, get a big job in your first 5 years after graduating, or becoming an entrepreneur at 20, you are a failure! PLEASE, DO NOT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO SUCH TALKS.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For as long as you do not at any point become lethargic and unnecessarily lazy, you will get to your destination. How many years will it take you to get there, if you work hard and do not give up? I DON'T KNOW! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And I don't think there's even anyone that certainly knows this. Except the Creator.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">One day, you will look back at yourself and the life you've lived and realized that you've already grabbed that degree, M.Sc, PhD, married, fully employed or become a big business owner; you will have your own baby, and will still accomplish that unbelievable dream!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is meant to happen, SOMEDAY.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Never be discouraged when things seem not to work according to your plans and expectations. It is all part of the life set-up. One day, it will work out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember, slow and steady wins the race. If you rush a marathon race, you will burn out quickly and get tired before reaching the finish line.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Keep going, keep focused and never be discouraged. One day, you will open your eyes and discover that you are already there. And then you will just smile and celebrate.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">YOU WILL GET THERE - BE INSPIRED!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And now also, in all your doings and all your movings, REMEMBER THE HEREAFTER - where you want to spend your eternity. Heaven is real</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">God bless you!!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">HAPPY NEW MONTH!</span></p>Femi Akinpelu Josephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09733731231967930827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065042194833710597.post-5532824098986270452020-11-03T17:35:00.000+01:002020-11-03T17:35:04.641+01:00The ‘END SARS’ PROTESTS and LEKKI SHOOTINGS: The Aftermath.<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcBeIQTgwh9i-0Q6cKhrpsQ3vw9FMwT-bDtDM7xIJAyTDZLmpdFmJCrbS6KR7suKKqHp-MBbdWIqm7l8Uu8bfmTGOaLBz65nkgk30mnSd2aTyMw7Mho1yEFhlxEk_c_cQqClJFncFsXtEA/s819/The+Aftermath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="819" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcBeIQTgwh9i-0Q6cKhrpsQ3vw9FMwT-bDtDM7xIJAyTDZLmpdFmJCrbS6KR7suKKqHp-MBbdWIqm7l8Uu8bfmTGOaLBz65nkgk30mnSd2aTyMw7Mho1yEFhlxEk_c_cQqClJFncFsXtEA/w400-h225/The+Aftermath.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">By Femi Akinpelu Joseph</div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #050505;">Few
weeks ago, the very inevitable nationwide #ENDSARS protests broke out across Nigeria.
And, from what appeared like a mere child’s play; the movement </span><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;">metamorphosed</span><span style="color: #050505;"> into an exercise that sparked a wild national participation – with keen
interest and attention from the global community.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But
just within 2 weeks into the very peaceful series of protests, the military, or
the ‘forces beyond the control of Lagos state government’ “intervened” and
suddenly interrupted the protests. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
aimed gunshots at the protesters – leaving scores of my fellow citizens killed
and seriously wounded; at the Lekki Toll gate.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
remember saying it prayerfully when the protests began that “I hope this
current series of pretests turns out a fruitful exercise at the end of the day”.
I had said that prayer because I have studied, and have followed trends by
which our various government administrations operate – from when I was a child.
I had sensed it that they (government power merchants) may eventually turn the
whole thing upside down and play out one of their regular political dirty
games.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
knew it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Though
it was VERY painful to me, that the killings actually took place. Very painful!
We all know the level of crises, lootings and destructions that followed that
event.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now,
where do we go from here? WHAT DO WE DO NEXT??</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Do
you know?</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
you ask me, I think I really DO NOT KNOW, too!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But
what I do know is – WE ALL NEED TO CHANGE some of our ways! But who and who are
those bracketed in this category of people who need to change?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Everybody!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes –
you, me; your friends, relatives, neighbours, co-workers, and fellow church or
mosque members. We all need to change our evil and wicked ways!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
us Nigerians to really experience the CHANGE or the TRANSFORMATION that we so
desire; both the elderly and the young people need to go through a thorough and
sustained MENTAL CLEANSING AND RESET. This is no joke at all.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">From
my regular private studies and observations; combined with personal
experiences, I can confidently say that a much larger percentage of Nigerians –
leader and follower, young and old, rich and poor, educated and uneducated ARE
VERY CORRUPT! Yes, we are a corrupt, nonchalant and immoral people. And like we
all know, the leaders of today were once followers, yesterday – and it is the
same (corrupt) followers shouting and complaining today that would become
leaders, tomorrow. Isn’t it?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So,
if this is our reality, then what are we really fighting for? Just VANITY!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
this reason – and if truly, you and I wish and desire that this country and the
entire Nigeria society is sanitized and filled with sane and disciplined people
who possess high moral values; then let it start with YOU.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

want to substitute ‘SARS’ to attribute as many ills that I see in our society as
possible. And we must end those evil traits in us before we can possibly have a
healthy society to live in.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the
context of this exposition, WHO IS A SARS?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
you are one of them looters – who usually wait for something provocative to
happen, so you could take advantage of the general anger, and pounce on
people’s investments and cart away their property; you are a SARS.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Those of you that have been hoarding or hiding palliatives, cash or special
gifts you were sent to deliver to the less-privileged people, with the plans of
cashing out on them; you are a very wicked SARS!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p>

you have the ideology that the “End SARS” that protest that took place last month
was just about some certain jobless and lazy Nigerian youths – who are just making
noise and fighting for no serious cause; then you are the most wanted SARS!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p>

is to also go and “chop your own portion of the national cake”, and have power
to oppress others; you are a SARS too, sir. We need to end you!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
main reason you hustle and struggle to be rich, is so that you can “show them”
and “pepper them”, and nothing more; you are an obsolete SARS.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You never
obey traffic rules whenever you are driving – but you always derive pleasure
oppressing pedestrians walking on roadsides, please, you are special SARS
agent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You
like to always use the excuse of being ‘poor’ and ‘needy’ and then turn
yourself to a beggar; you never do any meaningful work and never live a responsible
life; you are a miserable SARS! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You never
attend classes or love to be absent from office, but you ALWAYS ask your
friends to sign for you and help you cover up with a lie in the office whenever
your boss asks after you; hmmm, you must be under-fire SARS.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You
see someone doing something very bad, that you know will be detrimental to the
good and growth of others, but you kept quiet because you think the consequences
will not directly affect you or your family – you are a despicably misplaced SARS.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You are
very good at changing figures or inflating prices when asked to make purchases
on behalf of your company or others, know today that you are a real SARS.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
you possess ANY of the negative attributes listed above, and many more, KNOW that
you are one of our targets when we say #ENDSARS. You must REPENT and make a TURNAROUND
from your evil ways. Otherwise, you will continue to pose a danger to your community
and eventually destroy the society at large. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
essence of this write-up is to challenge us all, individually and collectively (including
myself) to THINK deeply about our wrong mentality, our daily habits and lifestyle
that have been drawing us back as a people. We need to make a great effort to change
them and turn on a new leaf – and it is then that we can start expecting people
from amongst us to be voted into public offices; and be accountable in all their
conducts and in their official assignments.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
not, nothing will change.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We ALL
need to make a concerted effort at purging our society of all forms of evil and
wicked – reducing wrongdoings to a very bearable minimum. Then, we can now
begin to search for light at the end of every dark tunnel in our national life!</span></span></p>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Hello everyone, and happy Corona Holidays!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I believe we are all keeping safe, hopeful and healthy, even in the face of this crazy global epidemic. You see, sometimes, it is good when novel things like this happen; because that is when we get to know who is really who! Don’t get me wrong, I’m never happy that this evil and strange disease broke out in the world and have had to snap precious lives away, but see (for everyone alive at the moment), the book of Proverbs says “If you fail in the days of your adversity, then your strength is small!” You get that?! I didn’t write that – King Solomon did. Really, I’m not here to preach, but to point out few things to all who need to hear.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What have I to bring out from these whole current events of the COVID-19 outbreak? It is the need to live and cope well with the reality and even the effects of this development.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />
The question that is on my mind to everyone is, has the trend of the covid-19 totally changed you as a person and has left you totally disorganized? Have you lost your mind and your entire sense of reasoning because Coronavirus is the in-thing now – and so you cannot live a normal life again? even though you are still alive. For all those who can honestly say a YES to this question, I’d recommend you carry out a complete physical, mental, spiritual and psychological check on yourself. You should need some reassessing of your whole being. I am not joking. It is a serious matter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It is true that we have never at any time in the history of the world before, experienced this kind of global health dysfunction and malady. But, you see, the popular Yoruba proverb says “Ohun t’eye ba je, l’eye n gbe fo”. In literal translation, it means, it is whatever a bird has eaten, that it flies with! In other words, it is that which you’ve got (equipped) inside of you that reflects on your outside and gives you strength when the time of trial comes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It is quite funny how a lot of folks have become so disoriented and easily frightened – they are gripped with so much confusion, fear and despair; and this is because many a people neither have principles nor a person guiding their lives, even before now. With just a little test, they are already trembling, looking for some magical powers, or some invisible gods, and not even God the Creator (as many don’t even find Him capable again), to come and save them. My point here is, the game of running helter and skelter from fear and panic, MUST STOP.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The world has been declared to be in holidays at this moment! Very good. Now that you have this impromptu, unplanned, unscheduled, august break in March, what are you doing with your life? Are you just not interested in knowing or learning of any other thing again, but coronavirus? I see a lot of guys (Nigerians, especially) now breathe, live, eat, sleep, wake and make plans only in, and/or on coronavirus – they speak the language of coronavirus morning, noon, and night; and nothing else now matters to them. Shaking my head. I know someone, who sends unsolicited articles, broadcast messages, videos and all sorts, ALL ABOUT COVID-19 to me, every single day. I consider that very boring and disturbing!<br />
Some have now got themselves the best opportunity to become liars; to be lazy, stupid, and just joke around – they make a ‘coronavirus joke’ out of JUST ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, now. Of course, we have to laugh sometimes and take life easy, but when it gets too far too much, then that becomes a problem.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I saw a beautiful quote recently somewhere, that says “Go home. Read a book. The world is closed”. That’s very thoughtful!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Please, fellow citizens of the world, utilize this opportunity to work on yourself and improve on your productivity. I know a lot of people haven’t had at least, 7 hours of sleep in a day, for over 10 years or more – sleep more now! Spend more quality time with loved ones and share more love. Read books, exercise better this time – don’t just be eating! Go on working on your plans for the year – never throw them aside. Let these “holidays” serve as a very helpful hibernating period for your equipping; not for lazing and goofing around and just reading about coronavirus all day long.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Take a moment to think about what becomes of you after this COVID-19 scourge is all over. Every day as I get up, I set my mind on new things to do and achieve, and I daily look forward to new ways of improving myself – and if there were 999 things on my mind, that I think about everyday this period, coronavirus or Covid-19, would be last on that list! Yet, I’m updated on most of the events in the world (including the 411 on COVID-19).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Keep moving. Keep improving. Keep planning. Keep working. Keep being yourself. And keep keeping safe and healthy. The world may seem to be in a pause at the moment, your life and your future shouldn’t be. And, never say because there is an outbreak of COVID-19, you now begin to renege on the promises you have made to people – unless the situation has totally rendered the fulfillment entirely impossible. In fact, in this same period that we are, I have received some of my biggest favours so far, this year. LIFE MUST NOT STOP because of coronavirus.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
PRAY more; MEDITATE the word of God more; LOVE more; SPEAK the TRUTH more; TRUST GOD more and fear-LESS! And remember, the end time is here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Just like we have been advised, stay at home, keep safe and healthy, and take precautions. But life goes on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
God bless you!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild to moderate <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532961/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006598; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s;" target="_blank">upper respiratory tract illness</a>, similar to a common cold.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia or bronchitis.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a handful of human coronaviruses that are known to be deadly.</span></div>

Three to four out of every 10 patients infected with MERS died, according to the CDC.</span></div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #262626; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 0px;">

First identified in the Guangdong province in southern China, according to <a href="https://www.who.int/csr/sars/archive/2003_05_07a/en/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006598; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s;" target="_blank">the WHO</a>, it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, shortness of breath, respiratory distress and kidney failure. Depending on the patient's age, the death rate with SARS ranged from 0-50% of the cases, with older people being the most vulnerable.</span></div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #262626; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Wuhan coronavirus is currently thought to be more mild than SARS and MERS and takes longer to develop symptoms. Patients to date have typically experienced a mild cough for a week followed by shortness of breath, causing them to visit the hospital, explains Peter Horby, professor of emerging infectious diseases and global health at the University of Oxford. So far, around 15% to 20% of cases have become severe, requiring, for example, ventilation in the hospital.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels, <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/middle-east-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus-(mers-cov)" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006598; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s;" target="_blank">according to the WHO.</a> With SARS, scientists <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/sars/media/civet-ban.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006598; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s;" target="_blank">suspected civet cats</a> were to blame.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to human-to-human transmission of the viruses, often it happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person's secretions, such as droplets in a cough.</span></div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Depending on how virulent the virus is, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause exposure. The virus can also be transmitted <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/17/health/novel-coronavirus-surfaces-study/index.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006598; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s;" target="_blank">by touching something an infected person has touched</a> and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Caregivers can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient's waste, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/about/transmission.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006598; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s;" target="_blank">according to the CDC.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Human-to-human transmission has been confirmed for the Wuhan coronavirus, but experts are now trying to understand who is transmitting it most, who is at most risk and whether transmission is occurring mostly in hospitals or in the community. SARS and MERS were largely transmitted inside hospitals, Horby said. Some people are also considered to be "superspreaders."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">MERS, SARS and the Wuhan coronavirus appear to cause more severe disease in older people, though uncertainty remains around the latest outbreak. Of the cases of Wuhan coronavirus reported so far, none are yet confirmed to be among children, Horby said. The average age is people 40 or over, he said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is no specific treatment, but research is underway. Most of the time, symptoms will go away on their own and experts advise seeking care early. If symptoms feel worse than a standard cold, see your doctor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cats can catch SARS, but none of the infected cats developed symptoms, according to the study.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good day and compliments of the seasons to you, ladies and gentlemen! I think it’s that time of the year again when people begin to live a miserable and despicable life of unnecessary rush – trying to meet up with some unscripted and unwritten laws of societal demands and “end of the year” expectations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please, work hard, pray, strategize, plan and take wise
decisions; but don’t kill yourself in the process of trying to “show” certain
persons that you too “have arrived” and prove to them that “God don bless you
too”! It really, is not needed. There is no place where it was written that you
MUST buy that car, that phone, travel or do that wedding by force this year. Be
encouraged; see, if you didn’t do it this month or next month, you will do even
more in the next 3 or 4 months. God who is the surest provider, and the orchestrator
of every life event and happening remains always the same. He is not going
anywhere – you are the one that is thinking that He’s always in a haste, just like
you. He does not ever move or shake, because He already got you planned out and
covered! So, keep your hope alive, and never give up. But, SLOW IT DOWN!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot of times, we must have set certain deadlines and
ultimatums for ourselves on exactly <b>when</b> to achieve <b>what – </b>but<b>
</b>when<b> </b>that doesn’t work or happen as planned, we get so discouraged
and begin to feel sad. We then allow a life of gloom to set in, and the devil would now take
an advantage of that and begin to play games on your mind. In case you didn’t
know, he is a master at that – he would literally knock down your psychology
and in turn, win your soul to himself. You naturally become a prey to the evil
one when you are desperate for things, because he would cause you to commit a big
error.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always do encourage myself by the life history of many of
the past and present notable achievers in the world. It is interesting that there
is a common trend they all follow. Study the life of Jesus Christ, Abraham,
Moses, Joseph, Hanah, and Jacob in the bible. And also, let’s check out the
likes of Mandela, George Weah, C. Ronaldo, Tyler Perry, Ben Carson, Colonel
Sanders (KFC founder), to mention just a few. These guys all had it tough and
rough; they worked steadily and waited patiently, but at the set time, THEY
MADE IT!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">And personally, my life as a whole has also always been a constant
inspiration, in its own, to me. How do I mean? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn’t finish High School until I was <b>19</b>. I didn’t
have any notable love relationship experience until <b>22</b>. I only bought my
first bicycle at <b>27</b>. I could only start my B.Sc. programme at age <b>28</b>.
I didn’t have a University degree until I turned <b>31</b>. I never could drive
a car until <b>33</b>. I didn’t own a personal car until <b>35</b>! Quite a
peculiar experience, right? That is a very interesting life, I must tell you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, let’s put aside those seemingly challenging experiences
above – and focus on a more positive side of my life. May be someone would pick
themselves up and be encouraged. I started singing in my church’s adult Choir
at age <b>10, </b>I wrote my first song and performed it twice at age <b>21</b>,
I have lived as an independent adult since age <b>21</b>. I started doing
business at age <b>23</b>. I debuted as a national newspaper writer and reporter
at <b>31</b>. I became a publisher at age <b>34</b>. And, many more attainments
to come – I’m a project and work-in-progress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is how I see life and I simply live by this rule: “let
no one hasten your life so much that you now become a slave of everybody (from
running around after recognition), or a nuisance (criminal) to the society just because you
are chasing after fast money. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">And, NEVER EVER develop a high BP because of
anybody. Stress or worry yourself over nothing – <b>Philippians 4:6-7</b>. Don’t
listen to those (life coaches) who always do condemn and would claim that it is because you’re
not working hard enough, that’s why you are still where you are </span><span style="font-size: large;">now</span><span style="font-size: large;">. It is not
always true – there is a time for everyone. Focus always on those POSITIVE things in your life that are </span><span style="font-size: large;">visible enough for an everyday celebration</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Look deeply, just as I’ve highlighted few of mine, earlier. You
will surely always see light at end of the tunnel, no matter how long and dark
it appears. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">THERE IS SO MUCH HOPE. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Be patient, that dream will still come alive if you don’t
give up. Be encouraged!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">God bless you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier today, a discussion ensued between me and few of my colleagues during the office devotion, and it caused a little argument. It was question of “what does it mean to have a good name?”; after reading from Ecclesiastes Chapter 7. Another question was raised, and it hinged on “is it actually everybody that desires a good name?” This issue was deliberated on and was argued back and forth. Some said everybody wants to have a good name but they somehow, have just been helpless, and thereby do not know how to live right. And so, it is not totally the fault of people with questionable characters that they do not exhibit noble traits!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another group argued that everybody truly knows the right thing to do, but they only do not place much value on their integrity or reputation as an individual. The priority of such people is to just do anything possible (including joining a cult, and killing innocent people) in order to acquire some power; to cheat and enrich themselves; to defraud, to kidnap and rob and then accrue wealth illegally! That (acquisition of power) is their priority – not having a good name. In the process, I learned again, that people do what they do based on what and where, their values lie – it is based on their personal inner conscience, not necessarily on what majority or the society perceives to be right. Wow!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hnnnnn. That is so incredible.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That is that – those everyday general norm-al people reasoning!<br />My take on this issue again is, if the word of God is trusted enough to be capable of passing instructions to all humans on what is acceptable, then that should be what it should be!<br />Ecclesiastes 7:1 says “A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.” - Proverbs 22:1 also corroborates that, when it says “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At least, for those who are normal, (and NOT NORM-al, or NORM-ER), we should be able to agree with God’s commands on who or what is normal or abnormal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we approach the brand-new month of November in few hours, let us take a look at & ponder on few of those things that NORM-al (general) people do as we try to see how we can make necessary changes and turn on a new leaf.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Check at just few of the NORM-al people’s trends on the LIST, below…</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*If you only greet those who have plenty money – or respond to only greetings from such people alone – you are not normal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*If you still try to laugh with everybody all the time, and agree with them even when they are wrong and you ought to correct them, but you failed; because you want favour from them, then you are not normal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*If you see me on a day when I’m just simply dressed and you ignored me, but the day I put on expensive wears like a ‘celebrity’, you start shinning your teeth at me, you are not normal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*If you are trying to achieve something (especially money-making) just so that people can recognize you and then start worshipping you, then you are not normal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">THE LIST IS LONG, but let’s end it here.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shun the life of norms. Try to be real. I know that ‘nobody holy pass’... but still endeavor to live well and earn yourself a good name (lasting reputation). Make a change. Live more nobly.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">God bless you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a happy and fruitful new month, ahead!!!</span><br />
<div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">NORM-al PEOPLE, as I always refer them to be - or those (majority of) people you understand to always follow norms; the popular and conventional lifestyle, live most of their lives in pretence and deceit. The real normal people don't pretend; they don't fake it; they don't try to impress people by being pretencious. They are just themselves and they make positive impacts in an unusual way. You will never make any notable impact on others when you live your life consistently in pretence and by faking things up! Believe me, this I know by practice and through careful study. Are you still faking some things in your lives? Then you are not normal, you only follow the norm.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's do a quick check on what the scriptures says in Ephesians 6:5-9, it says, "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keywords from this scriptures - NOT WITH EYE SERVICE. NOT AS MENPLEASERS. But AS UNTO GOD. With GOODWILL. With FEAR and TREMBLING. FROM THE HEART, With SINGLENESS OF YOUR HEART. NEITHER IS THERE RESPECT OF PERSONS!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That was God's command to us, not mine, not your pastor's, not that of your boss. So, next time before you embark on any decision, assignment, service or project, ask yourself, am I doing this thing to be seen, respected, or rated serious? - or just for what it should be; *simply as unto God! Norm-al (general majority) people that do norms usually feign many things, including love.. what a trajedy! This category of people are really not normal, but in this world they are deemed to be the norm-al ones, because they do and follow after the worldly NORMS. Ó màá şe o (what a pity)!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Below are few Tips On - Being REAL & NORMAL: Don't act nice, be nice. Don't look or sound righteous, be it. Never act smart, be smart. Don't feign love or be expressing abstract verbal love, but love, indeed. Don't just look serious, especially when being observed, better get serious! Don't fake being Christian, be a true Christian. Don't ever give because others are, and you don't want to be singled out, see, if it's not from your heart - just keep it! Don't sound intelligent, be really intelligent. Don't mingle with people just for you to be noticed & loved, do it for you to show love and care for them.</span></div>

But, before we discuss further, we need to take a quick look at some Bible heroes and historic achievers who defied the routine boring lifestyle of being normal (being like everybody), and chose to stand out; and in turn made great impacts in their lifetime.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
These are - Our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Father Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Stephen, Rahab, Elijah, Samuel -- Daniel, Meshack, Shedrack, Abednego, Joshua, Nehemiah, Esther, Paul, Jacob, Zaccheus, Prophet Nathan, Mary Madgalene, The boy with 5 loaves & 2 fish, Joseph the Arimathea, John The Baptist.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
Fela Kuti, Nelson Mandela, Deji Adeleke, Gani Fawehinmi, Mother Theresa, Jerry Rawlings, Mary Slessor, Wright brothers, Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King, Bob Marley and Ben Carson, just to mention a few!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
Pondering on the mindset, belief system, lifestyle and attainments of these guys -- you will see that they possess a common feature - these ones stand to be AUDACIOUS, DAUNTLESS, FEARLESS, BRAVE, HEROIC, GUTSY, DIFFERENT. In today's world, I would say, they were not NORMal!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<h2 class="sp-story-body__introduction" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 27px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 38px; margin: 30px 0px 20px;">
Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is set to join Juventus, the Spanish club have confirmed.</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It is understood a deal worth £105m has been reached between the two clubs that will see the 33-year-old Portuguese end a 10-year stay at the Bernabeu.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Ronaldo won four Champions Leagues at Real but had a turbulent relationship with president Florentino Perez.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
“For Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of our great symbols,” said a club statement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Real Madrid wants to express its gratitude to a player who has proved to be the best in the world and who has marked one of the brightest times in the history of our club and world football.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Real Madrid will always be your home.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
He is now set to be unveiled as the Italian club’s record signing, eclipsing the £75.3m they paid for Gonzalo Higuain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Ronaldo joined Real from Manchester United for £80m in 2009 and scored a club-record 451 goals and won the Ballon D’Or – awarded to the world’s best footballer – in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
He has helped them win the Champions League in four of the past five seasons, scoring in the 2014 and 2017 finals.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
However, despite their dominance in Europe’s premier club competition, Real struggled domestically, finishing 17 points behind champions Barcelona last season.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Real are keen on reshaping their team under new manager Julen Lopetegui and the 33-time La Liga winners have also been linked with a move for Paris St-Germain’s 26-year-old Brazil forward Neymar.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A call has gone out to all Nigerian women, mothers and prospective mothers, to reconsider their choices of method for child delivery, as elongated labour period could spell harm for the health of their babies. </span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">A facebook user and a medical doctor by the name </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">Caséy Amaefule</span><span style="color: #1d2129;">, wrote an article and </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">shared it on his wall, where he highlighted factors </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">responsible</span><span style="color: #1d2129;"> for health defects in babies, at birth. He, therefore, charged women to see</span><span style="color: #1d2129;"> handling of child delivery as a very serious matter, and which requires great attention.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

It must be CS! Many have contracted pelvis (pelvis with smaller than expected diameters) or inadequate pelvis."<br /><br />Beyond this, for fear of CS, some of you enroll with maternity homes with little or no knowledge of active management of labour (so you can save money) and then end up having a child who will be an OLODO for life due to prolonged labour and its sequelae.<br /><br />The child I clerked yesterday was so bad that he was in KG 1 even though he was 8 YEARS OLD. Yet he kept coming last in his class in the same KG 1. He'd been having seizures since birth.<br /><br />"The mother laboured for 3 days! Three frigging days! She didn't want CS because she's a 'Hebrew woman' and then following obstructed labour, baby had 3+ caput (swelling of the scalp) and extensive moulding of 3+ (inseparable overlap of the skull bones). The boy's head was so small that his occipitofrontal circumference (head size) was 43cm (as against 54-58cm). This means that his head size at 8 years was that of a 5- to 6-month-old child."<br /><br />"Biko the brain stops developing when a child becomes 7 years old. That's when it attains adult size!"<br /><br />"This boy didn't even cry after birth, later developed what doctors call hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), a severe complication because the brain was starved of enough oxygen and blood as the head squeezed through the vagina during the prolonged labour."<br /><br />The mother totally DAMAGED her son during labour and now the young man is paying for a sin he did not commit. He keeps drooling saliva and with the epilepsy, he will be on medications for life.</span></span></span><br />

But now ask yourself, if you were this boy's mother and had the opportunity to do it all over again, what would you do?"<br /><br />Damage your son for life because of cost or pay the money and have a normal child who could be the next Albert Einstein or president of Nigeria?<br /><br />"As a mother, you may never forgive yourself."<br /><br /><br />© Caséy Amaefule<br /><br /></span></span></span></div>

<h1 style="background: white; line-height: 37.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">The social media, which includes ( Facebook, Twitter, BBM,
Whatsapp, Instagram, Google+, etc), has no doubt become the most vibrant and
fastest platform for communication in modern times.</span></h1>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Individual,
groups, corporate companies and even business organizations, all have adopted
the social media as a veritable tool, in selling their image, products and
services.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">However,
there are important things that people should know about the use of the social
media as highlighted below:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

The social media should not be used for non profitable and lazy conversations,
as it is usually the practice with many users (especially the youth bracket),
rather it should be seen and used as a medium to learn and gain more knowledge
and get vital information.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">With
the use of the social media, every user has got the opportunity to reach other
people in all parts of the world, just in a click. You can share and also
receive information on latest developments globally, and again make your inputs
suggest the ways forward on different burning issues rocking the world society,
because the world, as is it said has become a “global village”. By so doing,
you have made yourself an active citizen of the globe.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The
social media, again, serves as a very important work tool for people of all
professions. You can easily reach out to more number of clients or customers at
a time, through the social media platforms. By this doing disseminating
important information about one’s business is more enhanced. It also encourages
quick feedbacks, which in turn enables fast decision making and necessary
changes for effective service delivery.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">4. Be careful what you share on

You should be careful that you don’t do over-sharing and watch the contents of
what you share on-line because you can be googled. Your name could be
researched for, and everything that you have posted and shared on-line will
come out. Your image will definitely be at stake, as the negative things that
you have shared may give a wrong view or impression about your personality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">5. <b>Spend quality time on-line
(determine what you are going to do)</b></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As
a social media user, you need to set out goals on what to do every time that
you go on-line. You should spend doing quality work and not just see everything
you find available on-line necessary for you to engage in. Do what you have to
do and save your time to doing other profitable things. As it is said, “time is
money”, so don’t spend your time dwelling on things that will not add much to
you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">6. Your on-line preference should
be things that matter to you</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">You
need to know from the on-set the things that will add value to you, and enhance
your life in the long run, and those are the things that should be your
preference. Don’t engage yourself in every social media activity just because
other people are there. Have a scale for the things you are looking for and
know the ones you ignore, as this will help you to focus on only things
(contents) that are useful to you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">7. You don’t need to be on all
social media</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It
is actually not a must to be on all social media platform. You, as an
individual person needs to choose the ones (social media platform) that will be
most useful and convenient for you. If possible, delete some of those accounts
(in case you are on all social media). This will help you to avoid unnecessary
distractions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">8. There are many fraudsters
on-line; you need to be careful about the kind of response to others.</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">You
may need to know that fraudsters have also devised easier ways of carrying out
their dubious activities, through the social media. They send fraudulent
messages to people at random, and at different times. These fraudsters really
do take advantage of careless and unsuspecting users, who reply them without
taking their time to make enquiries and find out whom really they are chatting
with, before striking a business deal with them. Many people, as a result, have
ended up as victims. So once you are not sure about the identity of the person
who has sent you a message, don’t reply!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">9. The username you use on
social media is very important</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Know
that the name you use on the social media is as good as the opportunities and
offers that will come your ways. It also makes it easier for people searching
for you to easily locate you when you use your real name. Again, you tend to be
taken more serious by an intending business partner or prospective employer
when they find out your on-line name to be the same as your real name. Just
imagine how such people will feel if, for example your name is John Kola, and
your facebook name is Jk- boy; you will not be taken seriously. By this point
serious opportunities may be forfeited.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">10. Don’t abuse the use of
social media</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It
becomes an abuse of the social media if you just decide to share anything that
comes your way, and comes to your mind (whether legal or not legal), without
considering the moral value and effect of what you have shared.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 1.625rem; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For
example, sharing of obscene pictures on –line, posting derogatory words or
statements about people (especially popular people), and sharing unconfirmed
rumours or news about individual or group of persons, or even organizations.
All these are abusive ways of the social media use, and it could have a
detrimental consequence on your personality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

various vices which have invaded universities, including the menace of drugs,
cyber crimes, cultism and so on, which he traced to the issue of incessant

According to her, the same women that pressured Dikeh to get into marriage are the ones calling her a drama queen following the failed marriage.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Proxima Nova, Helvetica, Ubuntu, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This statement was made by Emeka Ojukwu Junior, the son of the former leader of Biafra, late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">in Awka. He said this at the grand finale campaign of the APC candidate for the Anambra 2017 governorship election, Dr Tony Nwoye,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;"> on Wednesday, 15th of October, 2017.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">This came just few days before the Anambra governorship election, as the Ojukwu Jnr, abandoned APGA, the party his father founded, and moved to the APC. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">Mr Emeka Ojukwu jnr, son of the founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has officially dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to NAN reports. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">He stated that APGA is a means to an end but not an end itself; and disclosed that he chose to move over to the APC in order to protect the interest of Ndigbo </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">He stated: “It is time to leave the shadows for light. Every now and then, they come out with my father’s shadow to confuse the people.” </span></span><br />

After 4 years of being an exemplary student (with tons of awards, honours and numerous achievements representing the school - he was the leader of the student union), they expelled him days before his graduation, because he was critical of some Professors and Directors in a Facebook post. I read the post and it would definitely be considered offensive by the school. However, it warrants correction at best. It is unfair and most certainly, un-Christ-like, to wipe away 4 years of a student's hard work and model behaviour because of this. For what is supposed to be a Christian institution, it's ironic that they are being the opposite in trying to ruin this young man's life. The punishment does not fit the crime. Please chime in and help us shed light on his case until they reverse their stance and let him have his degree. It's a sad, sad day when the world has to plead with a representative of the Church for redemption, forgiveness and justice."</span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/redeemersuniversity/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#RedeemersUniversity</a><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/redeemadebowale/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#RedeemAdebowale</a><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/thebankstatements/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#TheBankStatements</a><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/nigeria/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#Nigeria</a><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/pleaserepost/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#pleaseRepost</a></span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Popular Nigerian singer, Davido gave a timely and matured response to a fan who accused him, by making a scathing comment on his post on Instagram, Tuesday 10th October, 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Davido had shared a video of an intro to one of his recent performances on his I.G page, which he captioned "RIP OLU RIP TAGBO". In the post, he (Davido) called the fans to join him while maintaining a moment of silence for t</span><span style="font-size: large;">he </span><span style="font-size: large;">two friends, Tagbo & Dj Olu, who had just passed away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwz_8nc35Cf-jcs8gLyp1PVTDMdCohfWSEW-sPg_A1_U64M9mNAfAr6gWC_sbfQWtf8EfUomNXzxlM1W8ji42-KVl4Ybbi2rQbflARkQH8ecm0H4rDsmPnSPZAMfrUAdKYU1OWln8jHp9G/s320/HES+for+FAJ.jpg" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then a certain fan with the handle @Kellydgreat_ wrote in the comment section "<i>Drama King Davido you are responsible for the death of three of your friends Tagbo, Chime, Dj Olu who all died the same way in the period of 3 days.We really need serious investigation. Something is fishy about the mysterious death of three of your friends in a less than a week. The rich always get away with murder cases in Nigeria but this time your money can't save you. I am an insider who know the whole story. The world will know the truth.</i>"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Davido, afterwards simply replied him, saying, "@Kellydgreat_ God bless you".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That is maturity in display. It is well with you brother Davido. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Celine Marie Claudette Dion is a strong music vocalist; a pop, soft rock and R&B singer. She was well known and adored by ardent followers of love songs, as she was very prominent in the 80's and 90's.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, the legendary singer may have left the scene as an active performer, but her many works of the past still speak for her, any day any time. As we celebrate this music icon, here are 10 facts about her that you may never have come across anywhere before. </span><br />

October 1st remains a special date for all Nigerians as this marks the day when we attained one of the most precious of human desires — freedom.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Over the years the country has gone through trials and tribulations, but October 1st is always a day for celebrations.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
It is a day for thanks giving, reflection and re-dedication.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
It is also a day for remembrance. We should remind ourselves of the recent journey from 1999 – 2015, when our country happily returned to democratic rule.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
However, in spite of oil prices being an average of $100 per barrel and about 2.1m barrels a day, that great piece of luck was squandered and the country’s social and physical infrastructure neglected.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
We were left with no savings and huge infrastructure deficit.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
The APC Government’s Campaign rallying cry to restore security, re-balance the economy and fight corruption was not all rhetoric.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
The country must first be secured. The economy must be re-balanced so that we do not depend on oil alone. We must fight corruption which is Nigeria’s Number One Enemy. Our Administration is tackling these tasks in earnest.<br />

In the past two years, Nigeria has recorded appreciable gains in political freedom. A political Party at the Centre losing elections of State Governor, National Assembly seat and even State Assemblies to the opposition parties is new to Nigeria. Added to these are complete freedom to associate, to hold and disseminate opinions. Such developments clearly attest to the country’s growing political development. But like all freedoms, this is open to abuse.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Recent calls on re-structuring, quite proper in a legitimate debate, has let in highly irresponsible groups to call for dismemberment of the country. We can not and we will not allow such advocacy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
As a young Army Officer, I took part from the beginning to the end in our tragic civil war costing about 2m lives, resulting in fearful destruction and untold suffering. Those who are agitating for a re-run were not born by 1967 and have no idea of the horrendous consequences of the civil conflict which we went through.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
I am very disappointed that responsible leaders of these communities do not warn their hot-headed youths what the country went through. Those who were there should tell those who were not there, the consequences of such folly.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
At all events, proper dialogue and any desired constitutional changes should take place in a rational manner, at the National and State Assemblies. These are the proper and legal fora for National debate, not some lop-sided, un-democratic body with pre-determined set of objectives.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Government is keeping up the momentum of dialogue with stakeholders in the Niger Delta to keep the peace. We intend to address genuine grievances of the communities.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Government is grateful to the responsible leadership of those communities and will pursue lasting peace in the Niger Delta.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
SECURITY</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
On security, Nigerians must be grateful to our gallant Armed Forces for rolling back the frontiers of Boko Haram’s terrorism, defeating them and reducing them to cowardly attacks on soft and vulnerable targets.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Nigeria is grateful to its neighbours and the international community for the collective efforts to defeat this world-wide menace of terrorism.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Not even the most organized and most equipped police and security forces in the world can escape the menace of modern day terrorism, as we have seen in recent years in Europe and other parts of the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
But we are not letting up. Our Armed Forces in an effort to enhance the operational capability of troops of OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE have established Mobile Strike Teams in the North East. These will ensure the final push to wipe out the remnants of Boko Haram.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
In addition, through targeted air strikes most of the leadership and identified logistics bases and routes of the insurgents have been neutralized. The Armed Forces have established a Naval presence in the Lake Chad Basin as part of the coordinated military efforts to curtail the movements or re-emergence of the sect in the area.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Government is working round the clock to ensure release of the remaining Chibok girls, as well as other persons in Boko Haram captivity. Government will continue to support the Armed Forces and other security agencies to fight not only terrorism, but kidnapping, armed robberies, herdsmen/farmers violence and to ensure peace, stability and security in our country.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
ECONOMY</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
With respect to the economy, the Government has remained pro-active in its diversification policy. The Federal Government’s agricultural Anchor Borrowers Programme, which I launched in November 2015, has been an outstanding success with:</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
· N43.92 billion released through the CBN and 13 participating institutions,</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
· 200,000 small holder farmers from 29 states of the federation benefitting,</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
· 233,000 hectares of farmland cultivating eight commodities, namely Rice, Wheat, Maize, Cotton, soya-beans, Poultry, Cassava and Groundnuts, in addition to fish farming.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
These initiatives have been undertaken in close collaboration with the states. I wish to commend the efforts of the Governors of Kebbi, Lagos, Ebonyi and Jigawa States for their support to the rice and fertilizer revolutions.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Equally commendable are contributions of the Governors of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Imo, Cross River, Benue, Ogun, Kaduna and Plateau States for their support for the Presidential initiative for palm oil, rubber, cashew, cassava, potatoes and others crops.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
With the abundance of rainfall last year and this year, agriculture has enjoyed Divine intervention.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Since December last year, this Administration has produced over 7 million 50Kg bags of fertilizer. Eleven blending plants with a capacity of 2.1 million metric tons have been reactivated. We have saved $150 million in foreign exchange and N60 billion in subsidy. Fertilizer prices have dropped from N13,000 per 50Kg bag to N5,500.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Furthermore, a new presidential initiative is starting with each state of the Federation creating a minimum of 10,000 jobs for unemployed youths, again with the aid of CBN’s development finance initiatives.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Power remains a huge problem. As of September 12th, production of power reached an all — time high of 7,001 Megawatts. Government is increasing its investment, clearing up the operational and financial log jam bedeviling the industry. We hope to reach 10,000 Megawatts by 2020.</div>

We have signed multi-lateral cooperation agreements on criminal matters with friendly countries. There are signs of increasing cooperation from the Judiciary.

I commend the National Assembly for refocusing on its oversight committees. They should, in addition, ensure swift passage of enabling corruption laws. But fighting corruption is a bottom to top operation. I call on all Nigerians to combat corruption at every turn. By not asking for and refusing to accept a bribe, by reporting unethical practices or by blowing a whistle, together we can beat corruption. The government for its part will work for accountability at all levels – Federal, State and Local Governments. CHANGE will then be real.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Laughter, they say, brings healing to the spirit and youthfulness to the soul. It is, therefore, not surprising that comedy business has boomed so greatly, and has become a main-stay in the entertainment industry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The new social media comedy trend (the recording, posting and sharing of comedy video skits online) has, over a period of years back now, become so popular and very lucrative in Nigeria. And, this has in turn, generated a huge fan base among pleasure-seekers, especially the social media lovers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the first ground-breakers with this comedy trend was Mark Angel and Co. with the very young and talented Emmanuella, who plays the major and the funniest roles in their skits. There has also been the likes of "Craze Clown" with Ade, "Still Ringing", "Wowo Boyz" and the rest.</span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="187" src="https://ityazo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/marka-anehe.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="185" src="https://i2.wp.com/newtelegraphonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Woli-Arole.png?fit=666%2C387&ssl=1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;" width="320" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Woli Arole</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But recently, the Nigerian comedy followers have seen a different twist to this trend by comedian Bayegun Oluwatoyin, popularly known as "Woli Arole". He came into limelight by doing a (selfie) self-recording of all his comedy videos, while he claims to prophesy things that would happen, and also tries to interpret the the implication of events happening around, mimicking prophets of "white garment" churches', in very funny ways. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZlbGBJlnR7lubInwmB2zdKfLPzKs9U-6T4KvkbhybknkYIy9UBTLIyPHf7a9IfMiUvNz6qVNbU7wJ2S3e9aJ1iZnnOe0zMRFz_aPF1w3ucBPLLTn3wR8rhGR1fGRTgYe9D1W4MUI0ZgiV/s1600/Wezzyc88.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZlbGBJlnR7lubInwmB2zdKfLPzKs9U-6T4KvkbhybknkYIy9UBTLIyPHf7a9IfMiUvNz6qVNbU7wJ2S3e9aJ1iZnnOe0zMRFz_aPF1w3ucBPLLTn3wR8rhGR1fGRTgYe9D1W4MUI0ZgiV/s320/Wezzyc88.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Wezzyc88</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And about two years when <i>Woli Arole</i> has carved a niche for himself in the industry, the social media comedy audience has suddenly woken up to a brand new kid on the block, by the name Uche Mbah. Mbah who posts his clips and captions them with the handle @wezzyc88 is another very talented, creative, and crazy comedian. Wezzyc88, though, apparently looks well-traveled, very exposed and privileged, decides to always speak in a typically strong Igbo accent. Watch out for his trademark statement "I don't like what I hate".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wezzyc88 updates his instagram account with very hilarious comedy video clips. His concepts and acting skills is top-notch and out of this world. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Looking forward to seeing many more talents come on stage in a few years from now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Talents indeed abound in Nigeria. Who says Nigeria is not the best country in the world?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">God bless Nigeria.</span></div>
