Jackie Chan responded to a journalist's question about whether he was satisfied with his life with these wise words: "You know, I once heard some very wise words: 👉🏻 Your hard work is the dream of every unemployed person; 👉🏻 Your restless child is the dream of every childless person; 👉🏻 Your small home is the dream of every homeless person; 👉🏻 Your meager capital is the dream of every debtor; 👉🏻 Your ill health is the dream of every patient with an incurable disease; 👉🏻 Your peace, your sound sleep, your accessible food are the dream of every person in a country at war. 👉🏻 You must cherish everything you have.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: FRIDAY 9TH MAY 2025 THEME: *ABSOLUTE TRUST IN GOD* MEMORIZE Psalms 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. READ Psalms 62:1-2, 5-9, 11 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. My soul, wait, thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock, and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *Trust in God is absolute when we are bankrupt of options.* MESSAGE The Psalmist, in today's text, expressed his unreserved trust and confidence in God alone, because he understood the danger of trusting in mortal men irrespective of their status or placement in life. Humans are so frail, fickle and unsure. The best of men are still men, subject to the limitations of flesh and blood. Only God is truly reliable, absolute and consistent with His word. It is easy to say I trust in God only when you do not have anyone in your life. However, the Psalmist in today's text, being a king had all kinds of people around him, but his experiences about men generally was probably not a palatable one. He reiterated that his hope was in God alone. There are three dimensions to the issue of trust. 1. There is "no need for trust" in God when there is an assurance of options. 2. "Low trust" in God when there are options but unsure of their reliability. 3. Absolute trust when you do not have any option. Usually, trust in God is absolute when you realise that you do not have anyone to look up to for help. Let me ask you: Do you have options of where or whom to run to apart from the Lord? Or is your trust absolutely on God alone? The Bible tells us that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro the earth looking for those who are absolutely trusting in His help to show Himself mighty on their behalf. (2Chr 16:9) It is possible to have all kinds of people in your life, as in the case with the Psalmist in today's text, but he chose to repose his complete trust in God because in his honest opinion of men he saw that they were altogether lighter than vanity. *Beloved, it is capital wisdom to trust in God, who is most reliable instead of fickle men who are given to change.* ACTION STEPS 1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide. 2. Allow the Lord to introduce men to you. 3. Ask the Lord to help you align yourself with His mercies and grace for timely help always. REMEMBER *Trust in God is absolute when we are bankrupt of options.* PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Help me to align myself perfectly for your help, always in Jesus' name. Amen AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Habakkuk 3, Acts 14-16; Hebrews 11-12; Jude 1. HYMN What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear ! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer ! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear------ All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer ! 2 Have we trials and temptations ? Is there trouble anywhere ? We should never be discouraged ; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness----- Take it to the Lord in prayer ! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care ? Precious Saviour, still our refuge----- Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ? Take it to the Lord in prayer ; In His arms He'll take and shield thee. Thou wilt find a solace there, PLEASE SHARE

PUNCH Newspaper *The unseen crisis facing Nigerian men (moment Otunba Kunle Akinyele collapsed)* 5th May 2025. Ganiyu Olowu *When Otunba Kunle Akinyele, a respected hotelier in Lagos, slumped and died at his wife’s 60th birthday thanksgiving, the nation gasped in disbelief. One moment, he was celebrating life and love; the next, he lay lifeless at the altar of joy*. The video is haunting — *a man gesturing, gasping, reaching for help in a sacred space, surrounded by those he loved but alone in his final battle.* This was not just a death. It was a metaphor of silent suffering, buried exhaustion, and what men have come to normalise in the name of strength. Akinyele’s case is not isolated. It is one of many chilling examples of how Nigerian men, particularly in their mid- to late years, are collapsing under the weight of responsibilities, unspoken pain, and undiagnosed illnesses. According to the World Health Organisation, men in sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, are 2.4 times more likely to die prematurely from preventable causes than women. This alarming disparity is fuelled by cultural and behavioural factors: men are less likely to seek medical help, more likely to suppress emotional turmoil, and often glorify suffering in silence. In Nigeria, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and untreated mental health conditions are among the leading causes of sudden deaths in men. So This Happened (215) Reviews Death Of Lagos... In 2019, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya—admired for his strength and spiritual leadership—passed away quietly after years of enduring deep emotional losses and reportedly ongoing health complications. His resilience was legendary, but it masked what many now see as untreated grief, intense stress, and likely silent medical conditions. Then came the sudden death of veteran broadcaster Ayo Oduleye, better known as MC Loyo, who slumped while compering an event in Ibadan. His charm and humour lit up stages, but in the blink of an eye, the microphone fell silent. Just like that. Similarly, the passing of Mr Ibu (John Okafor) in early 2024, after months of battling illness, reminded the country of how many male entertainers struggle financially and physically behind the scenes, putting on a show while their bodies deteriorate. Masculinity, when warped, can become a silent weapon—not just against others, but against oneself. Globally, the story remains the same. In 2014, beloved comedian Robin Williams died by suicide, a victim of masked depression. And in 2022, cricket legend Shane Warne died suddenly of a heart attack, a casualty of silent coronary disease and an overstretched lifestyle. Yet while statistics shock and headlines haunt, the everyday grind of the average Nigerian man tells an even sadder tale. Take Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital—the city that never sleeps, and where many men now barely do. A significant number of working-class men reside on the mainland or in Ogun border towns like Mowe, Ikorodu, Sango Ota, or Ibafo but must commute to the Island for work—a journey that often begins by 4:00 a.m. and ends by 9:00 p.m. on return. This is no exaggeration. Studies from the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority reveal that Lagosians spend an average of four to six hours daily in traffic—with many men doing these five to six times a week. That is over 1,400 hours a year lost in gridlock—time stolen from rest, from family, from reflection. For these men, the day begins before the rooster crows. They rush into overcrowded buses, endure fumes of frustration, only to return home when their children are already asleep. There is no room for hobbies, hardly any time for checkups, no outlet for pain. Sleep is a luxury. Rest is a myth. And joy is rationed, like fuel in a scarcity season. This modern man is constantly running on empty—physically present but emotionally absent, financially committed but spiritually depleted. And society applauds his hustle, without asking at what cost. The idiom says, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown,” but what if the crown is invisible, made not of gold but of expectations, bills, unspoken grief, and sacrificial silence? Men are praised for providing, for showing up, for being “rocks”. But even rocks erode—silently, slowly, and then all at once. The greatest tragedy is not that they die, but that they are dying unseen. Consider the tragic case of a 42 year old engineer in Port Harcourt who collapsed at his workstation after weeks of working overtime to meet project deadlines. His colleagues described him as “dedicated to a fault”, but his sudden death revealed the dangers of ignoring signs of burnout and hypertension. Another heartbreaking example is the story of a young entrepreneur in Enugu who passed away in his sleep after complaining of chest pains for weeks. Despite his family’s pleas, he refused to visit a doctor, citing his busy schedule and financial obligations. His autopsy later revealed undiagnosed cardiovascular disease—a silent killer that could have been managed with timely intervention. One unforgettable story is that of Samuel Okwaraji, the gifted footballer and patriot who gave everything to his country on the football pitch. In 1989, during a World Cup qualifier against Angola in Lagos, Okwaraji collapsed and tragically died of congestive heart failure at just 25 years old. His life, so full of promises, was cut short under the intense demands of national expectation. The harsh conditions of the game that day, combined with the immense physical and psychological pressures he faced, ultimately proved too much. These stories compel us to ask: What are we doing to ourselves in the name of strength? Why does the world celebrate silent suffering but frown upon seeking help? Dr Salawu Abiola, a psychiatrist at the Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital in Yaba, offers critical advice for men navigating these pressures. He emphasises the importance of prioritising rest, adequate sleep, and regular health checkups. “If you work and die today, someone will replace you at the workplace, but no one replaces you in the family,” he warns. Abiola advocates setting realistic goals, managing time effectively, and creating moments of joy and relaxation amid life’s challenges. He also highlights the need for men to engage in positive activities, such as exercise, hobbies, and socialising with supportive people, to release built-up tension and foster mental well-being. Check your vitals before you check your wallet. Monthly profit means nothing if your heart gives out unexpectedly. Your strength is not in how much you carry but in how well you manage your load. Therapy is not weakness. It is a repair. Just like a car needs servicing, your mind and soul need realignment. Build relationships where you are more than a provider—where you are allowed to cry, collapse, confess. A good name is better than riches, but good health is the foundation of both. As Chinua Achebe once said, “When the drumbeat changes, the dance must also change.” The drumbeat of life today is faster, louder, and less forgiving. Men must adjust their rhythm. Health is the new wealth. Silence is no longer golden; it is dangerous. *Ganiyu Olowu, a public affairs analyst, writes from Lagos*. punchng.com ©️ 1971- 2025 Punch Nigeria Limited CULLED

*AVOID SOY* If you eat a large amount of soy products, it is certainly in your best interests toeliminate it from your diet completely. Soy has been touted as a health food for a number of years. However it is fast becoming a serious problem. Many people react to soy just as they do to gluten.

DUST AND DESTINY 🔥 EPISODE 1: The Ash-Girl of Umuchu In the quiet village of Umuchu, nestled between rolling hills and deep green forests, lived a young girl named Olamma. Her mother had died when she was barely five, and her father remarried a woman with two daughters of her own. From the very beginning, Olamma was treated like a servant. While her stepsisters wore fine wrappers and braided their hair with beads, Olamma worked the farm, fetched water, and scrubbed the compound until her hands bled. Her skin was always dusty, her feet always cracked, and she smelled of firewood and sweat. Her stepmother often said, “No man will look at a girl who lives in the ash pit.” But Olamma had something they didn’t see — a heart as kind as moonlight, and a beauty that even hardship couldn’t hide. She sang to the birds, helped the elders, and never stopped dreaming. One day, news spread like wildfire: the prince of Amaudo was seeking a bride, and all maidens were invited to a grand festival where he would make his choice. Olamma's stepsisters prepared for days. They bathed in scented oils, wore wrappers of shining silk, and mocked her the entire time. “You? Go to the palace looking like a bush spirit?” they laughed. But Olamma, wiping tears with her dusty wrapper, whispered to herself, “My story isn’t over yet.”

*AVOID SOY* If you eat a large amount of soy products, it is certainly in your best interests toeliminate it from your diet completely. Soy has been touted as a health food for a number of years. However it is fast becoming a serious problem. Many people react to soy just as they do to gluten.

Dear AVACOIN community, The AVACOIN journey began with one bold and simple idea — a golden coin clicker game. What started as a fun experiment became the first truly massive crypto game inside Telegram. Since its launch in February 2024: – Over 4 million wallets have been connected – We onboarded 89,688 users to OKX – We onboarded 442,857 users to Bitget – On July 30, 2024, AVACN was listed — right after Notcoin — at a moment when the TON blockchain froze with 750,000 users online – And most importantly, hundreds of thousands of people earned their first-ever Web3 income It was an incredible experience — and we’re proud we made it happen. However, like any bold test, it came with clear limitations. AVACN was always a test token, designed for a single, experimental game. As the ecosystem grew, it became clear that the number of sellers far outweighed organic buyers. At the same time: – Interest from new players dropped – Exchanges (Tier-2) didn’t provide enough liquidity to support a large-scale economy – And the pressure on the token became unsustainable Eventually, AVACN was marked under "special monitoring" (ST) by exchanges. And now, due to continued sell pressure and low demand, HTX and other platforms have made the decision to delist the token. 🔄 What’s next? AVACN gave us valuable insights into what works — and what doesn’t. As many of you saw in our internal team videos and strategy sessions, we began transitioning to a new, unified token: $XP. It’s built with long-term vision and purpose: – No uncontrolled airdrops – A clear, sustainable economic model – Utility across all our games and future services $XP is not a replacement. It’s the next chapter. 🎁 For AVACN holders: We’re already working on ways to reward your loyalty. There will be bonuses, swap mechanisms, and community perks for those still holding AVACN. But we kindly ask for your patience — these programs require time and thoughtful implementation. They will not happen overnight, but they will happen. Thank you to everyone who was part of this journey. AVACN onboarded millions and introduced Web3 to hundreds of thousands. It was a powerful beginning — and now, we build what’s next. $XP is coming. And this time, we’re ready.

Very interesting

Bill Gates believes that within the next 10 years, AI will take over “most things,” reducing the standard workweek to just two days and turning the rest into free time. He says we’ll need to rethink how we spend that extra time, as AI could fill major gaps in healthcare and education by providing dependable doctors and tutors. Gates sees this as a future of abundance, where even physical labor is handled by AI powered robots, leaving us to focus on more meaningful pursuits and how to fairly share the benefits of a five day weekend.
