“Hey, how are you?” the eraser asked the pencil kindly.

“I’m not your friend,” the pencil snapped. “I hate you.”

Surprised and hurt, the eraser asked, “Why?”

“Because you erase everything I write.”

“I only remove the mistakes,” the eraser replied gently.

“That doesn’t make it right,” said the pencil.

“But that’s what I’m here for. It’s my purpose.”

“Then your job is meaningless,” grumbled the pencil. “Writing is more important than erasing.”

“To erase the wrong is just as important as writing the right,” the eraser said.

The pencil paused, then quietly said, “But I see you getting smaller each day…”

“That’s because I give a little bit of myself every time I help correct a mistake.”

“I feel smaller too,” the pencil admitted.

“We can’t do good for others unless we’re willing to sacrifice something,” the eraser smiled.

Then she looked at him and softly asked, “Do you still hate me?”

The pencil smiled back:
“How could I hate someone who gives so much of themselves?”

Each day we wake up with one day less.
If you can’t be the pencil that creates joy for others, be the eraser that wipes away their pain, planting hope and reminding them:
*The future can still be better than the past*.

*Be grateful, ALWAYS!*.

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

When someone tells you to get home safe, stay warm, have a good day, or sleep well, I hope you understand what they're really saying is, 'I love you.'" (Unknown)
Yes, when someone tells you to "get home safe," the unspoken words resonate far deeper than a simple expression of concern. It's a whispered prayer for your well-being, a silent wish for your protection woven into the fabric of their everyday language.
"Stay warm," "have a good day," "sleep well"—these seemingly mundane phrases transform into profound declarations of love, a gentle reminder that you are held in the heart of another.
They are tiny anchors in the vast sea of life, tethering you to the warmth of human connection, offering solace in the knowledge that you are cherished, that your safety and happiness matter. These simple words, spoken with genuine care, are a testament to the power of unspoken affection, a quiet affirmation that you are loved, deeply and unconditionally.

You’re Not Delayed—You’re Being Developed."
That storm didn’t come to destroy you. It came to reveal what God planted inside you.
Your name is being whispered in rooms your feet haven’t entered yet.
Stay faithful—your time is closer than it looks.

*JUST IN: NECO plans to conduct CBT-based exam for Nov-Dec SSCE*

The Registrar and Chief Executive, National Examination Council (NECO), Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, has said that the body is ready to conduct a Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the November/December Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) for private students.

Wushishi, who stressed the need for an awareness campaign to get stakeholders on board the new approach to SSCE examinations, added that NECO had been carrying out the campaign in town hall meetings with stakeholders across the states on the need for CBT.

The Registrar, while speaking during the Education Writers’ Association of Nigeria (EWAN) dialogue series with the theme: “CBT for SSCE: Is Nigeria Ready?” held virtually, disclosed that there were more than 2,000 CBT centres across the country, aside from National Open University CBT centres in all the states and some local councils.

He added that NECO is also mapping out schools to match with available CBT centres so that they could determine the nearest distance to CBT centres or vice versa.

Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, in her remark, said the examination bodies, which include the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), have all it takes to conduct CBT exams

She disclosed that a committee called Improvement of Public Examinations in Nigeria, headed by Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede is working on such issues and will deliver the report soon.

Abdulkadir, who gave the assurance that examination bodies and the ministry would look inward to commence the new approach, however, stressed the need to punish the culprits sabotaging examinations in the country, noting that the government should resuscitate punitive laws on exam malpractices if they are dead.

However, participants at the meeting shared varying views.

A participant, Dr Adunola Osoba, suggested that CBT centres should be done in phases, saying: “It is achievable. Massive sensitisation should be done for stakeholders, especially the candidates.”

Another participant, AbdulRasheed Rabana, said Nigeria could not go CBT without her mode of examination conduct, saying: “Imagine if we conduct practical, oral examination, and essay examination? The only examination that is adaptable to CBT is our multiple-choice examination.”

If fuel pump price should reduced drastically to #150 per liter, what would become of Nigerians. Is it possible.

A young lad asked his fisherman father,
"Papa, is it okay to tell people about my goals and dreams in life?"

The fisherman was silent for a moment, then asked,
"Why do you want to know that?"

The young lad answered,
"Well, papa, I have many big dreams, really big! I want to be of impact in all areas of life, to my generation and all aspects of life. However, I don't know if I should or shouldn't tell people about these dreams I have."

The fisherman smiled, then said,
"You know what... let's go catch some fish in the river. And then, we will continue this conversation, okay?"

At that moment, the fisherman and his son took their fishing equipment and went fishing. At the river, they put a piece of bait on the hook and casted the fishing rod into the river to catch a fish.

A few hours later, they had already caught a lot of fish and their basket was almost filled. The fisherman then stopped, pointed at the basket, and said to his son,

"Take a look at all these fish in the basket. They've been caught by the hook, and their fate is now different from that of those in the river. These fish have lost everything in their lives; their families, friends and home. Sadly, they will have to suffer and be killed in a gruesome way. Some will be fried, some baked, some berbecued, some grilled, some steamed, etc. Do you know why they have to go through much misfortune?"

The boy thought for a minute, then shook his head and said,
"I don't know, papa. Tell me."

The fisherman took a deep breath, and then whistled,
"Well, it is because they couldn't close their mouths. It is stated that a fish with a closed mouth never gets caught by the hook. It never falls a victim."

Upon saying that, the fisherman patted his son's shoulder, smiled and then continued,

"Son, this is what happens in real life. Many people have failed and lost everything they ever acquired in life because they opened their mouths too wide and told other people about their dreams and plans. A good reason to guard your senses and keep your mouth shut about upcoming projects is that most people do not want to see you succeed.

This is a piece of advice to save your plans from being sabotaged by people who envy you. You should never announce your dreams until they are close to completion. Many people will do everything in their power to send a dagger through your chest just to ensure you don't succeed. A closed mouth never gets into trouble.

Keep your big move a secret. Move in silence. Take action, and shock people with your results. ❤

Listen up, Men! Never Joke with Your Source of Income—Get Money at All Costs

Let me tell you this personally: If you don’t have your money right, you’re going to suffer. The world is brutal to broke men. You don’t get sympathy, handouts, or free passes. You’re not a woman who gets free stuff just by existing.

Women are born with their value. A beautiful woman can walk into any room and instantly get attention, validation, and resources. But as a man, you have to EARN your value.

Here’s Why You Must Never Joke with Your Source of Income:

1. Respect Comes from Power, and Power Comes from Money
A broke man has no power, no authority, and no say. If you want people to respect your presence, you need money.

2. Nobody Feeds a Broke Man
If you’re down and out, nobody’s coming to save you. There are no safety nets, no sympathy, and no handouts. You’re either grinding or you’re invisible.

3. You Can’t Protect or Provide Without Resources
As a man, your value is tied to your ability to provide, protect, and lead. Without money, you’re a liability, not an asset.

4. Financial Independence Is True Freedom
Without your own income, you are a slave to your job, your boss, and even the opinions of others. Money gives you choices, freedom, and control over your own destiny.

5. Broke Men Are Easy Targets for Manipulation
A man with no money is an easy mark for manipulation. People use, discard, and disrespect broke men because they know they have no leverage.

6. Women Lose Interest Quickly in Broke Men
No matter how nice or loving you are, if you’re broke, she’s going to lose interest. Women are wired to seek security and stability—if you can’t provide that, you’re done.

7. You Have No Voice Without Resources
In this world, money talks. You can’t make moves, take risks, or have influence if you’re broke.

8. Survival Demands It
There’s no dignity in poverty. You must get money at all costs because your survival, your dignity, and your future depend on it.

Final Warning

Don’t let anyone distract you from your grind. Don’t let relationships, drama, or laziness stop you from getting your money right. Chase the bag, secure your income, and build your empire.

A man without money is a man without options. Make sure you always have options. #motivation #preciousandfamily #Marriage #follower #Relationship

Nigeria got her independence in the year 1960 and became a republic in 2963, what is the difference?

My people, we need to talk about this thing we call stockfish.
I know it’s inside almost every pot of soup—especially for special occasions.
But what if I told you that the stockfish you’re eating today…
Isn’t real food anymore?
Let me break it down:
Stockfish is imported.
To survive the long journey, it’s preserved with strong chemicals like:
—Formalin (yes, the same one used to preserve dead bodies)
—Lye (a corrosive chemical used to clean drains)
—And sometimes ammonia-based compounds
These things are not made for your stomach.
They’re made to stop the fish from rotting during shipping.
But guess what?
Your liver, your womb, and your hormones pay the price.
These chemicals can mimic estrogen in the body.
They disrupt your hormones.
They inflame your gut.
And for women dealing with fibroids—they can make it worse.
So imagine…
You’re fighting fibroids with prayer and surgery—
But feeding it every Sunday with stockfish pepper soup.
And to make it worse?
Stockfish has no real nutrition.
It’s just flavor and obstacle.
No healthy fats. No useful protein. No minerals left after all the processing.
So what are you really gaining?
Nothing—except pain.
It’s time to stop eating food that looks traditional, but acts like poison.
Let go of stockfish.
Your womb, your hormones, and your future self will thank you.
Let’s eat smart.
Let’s heal with food.
