THE SMART DOG Max, the smart dog, was playing with his best friend, 4-year-old Timmy, near a lake. Suddenly, Timmy wandered too close to the water's edge and fell in. Max saw his friend struggling to stay afloat and sprang into action. He ran to the water's edge and barked loudly for help, but no one was nearby. Without hesitation, Max jumped into the water and swam out to Timmy. He gently nudged the boy's head above water and paddled back to shore. Once they reached shallow water, Max pulled Timmy to safety, where he lay coughing up water. Max licked Timmy's face, relieved that his friend was okay. When Timmy's parents arrived, they were amazed by Max's bravery and quick thinking. Max had saved Timmy's life! From that day on, Max was hailed as a hero, and his bond with Timmy grew even stronger. Max's actions showed that true friendship knows no bounds, and sometimes, it's the furry friends who show us the most love and loyalty. JB WORLD.

*Texas lawmakers are urging Tesla to delay its robotaxi launch until September 1, when new autonomous driving regulations are scheduled to go into effect* Updated: June 19th, 2025 https://youtu.be/qkIMrpfokEM?si=RPRUELHd_fe2N6wg https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-asked-delay-robotaxi-launch-by-democratic-texas-lawmakers-2025-06-19/ A group of seven Texas lawmakers, primarily Democratic legislators, have indeed urged Tesla to delay its robotaxi launch in Austin until September 1, 2025. The lawmakers sent a letter to Elon Musk's Tesla, citing concerns about public safety and the need for compliance with new state regulations governing autonomous vehicles. A robotaxi is a self-driving taxi that uses artificial intelligence and sensors to navigate roads without human intervention. It's like a regular taxi, but instead of a human driver, the vehicle is controlled by computers and sensors. Imagine calling a taxi, and when it arrives, there's no driver. You get in, and the car takes you to your destination safely and efficiently. That's what a robotaxi is all about! The new regulations, set to take effect on September 1, would require autonomous vehicles to: - *Meet Safety Standards*: Autonomous vehicles would need to adhere to specific safety standards - *Register under Texas Law*: Autonomous vehicles would need to be registered according to Texas law - *Provide Emergency Interaction Plans*: Autonomous vehicles would need to have plans in place for emergency interactions The lawmakers believe that delaying the launch until the new regulations are in effect would help build trust in Tesla's autonomous vehicle operations and serve public safety interests. However, Tesla is not legally required to halt its planned launch, which was originally set for June 22, 2025, and was expected to involve 10-20 geofenced vehicles operating continuously.

Psalms 3:5 NLT: I lay down and slept. I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. You shall sleep and wake up 2 morrow morning in Jesus mighty name.

Baba Ijesha, whose real name is Olanrewaju James Omiyinka, was a well-known Yoruba actor in the Nigerian movie industry. He had a reputation for playing comic and street-wise roles, which made him popular among fans. However, his career and public image took a massive downturn in 2021 when he became involved in a serious ch!ld m0lestation scandal that shook Nollywood and the entire Nigerian entertainment space. The controversy started when Nigerian comedienne, Princess (whose real name is Damilola Adekoya), accused Baba Ijesha of $exually m0lesting her 14-year-0ld foster daughter. According to Princess, the abuse had been going on for years but wasn’t initially known. She later claimed that the girl opened up about the abuse, which prompted Princess to set up a CCTV trap to catch him in the act. The footage reportedly showed Baba Ijesha engaging in inappropriate behavior with the min0r when he visited Princess’s home. The video evidence sparked public outrage. Many Nigerians were angered, especially because of the age of the victim and the fact that Baba Ijesha was caught on video. Actress Iyabo Ojo was one of the most vocal celebrities who stood with Princess and demanded justice. Iyabo Ojo took to social media several times to condemn Baba Ijesha and called out those in the film industry who were trying to defend him. Her consistent outspokenness caused friction within Nollywood, as some colleagues accused her of using the case for clout, but she stood her ground. The matter was taken to court, and Baba Ijesha was charged with several counts related to $exual assault and lndecent treatment of a chiId. During the trial, Princess testified in court and stood firm in her accusations, insisting she only wanted justice for her foster daughter. Despite the legal battles and the emotional trauma the case brought, both Princess and Iyabo Ojo remained committed to seeing the case through. Eventually, in July 2022, the court found Baba Ijesha guilty on four out of the six charges brought against him, including $exual assault and attempted $exual assault of a chiId. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison. The ruling brought a mix of reactions—relief from those who supported the victim, and disappointment from his fans and those who once respected him. The case highlighted the importance of protecting minors from abuse and sparked broader conversations in Nigeria about child safety, celebrity culture, and accountability. For Baba Ijesha, the scandal marked a fall from grace that not only ended his acting career but also left a permanent stain on his legacy. #fblifestyle

Ladies… stop trying to impress boys who don’t even know who they are. Start learning how to awaken a man who’s met his soul—one who’s ready for yours. The Divine Masculine isn’t moved by lashes, fake curves, or filtered illusions. He’s not searching for a showgirl. He’s longing for a woman whose presence melts him. He wants the kind of woman whose energy wraps around him like warmth after a long winter. A woman who doesn’t have to try so hard… because her essence already speaks volumes. It’s not your lip gloss that keeps him—it’s the way your silence feels like safety. Not your designer heels—but the soft grace in your walk. Not how loud you are in a room—but how your energy lingers when you leave it. You see, a real man—one who’s been broken, rebuilt, and reborn—isn’t chasing perfection. He’s magnetized by the woman who is deeply in love with herself. He wants the curve of your vulnerability, The stretch of your soul, The sweet contradiction of your wildness wrapped in grace. He watches you when you don’t realize it. How you treat strangers. How your laughter bubbles up, unfiltered and free. How you close your eyes when you talk about something that sets your spirit on fire. He doesn’t crave your independence—he respects it. But what calls him is your surrender. Not weakness. Not submission. But that kind of raw trust only a strong woman knows how to give. He’s not excited by your armor. He’s aroused by your truth. By the softness in your sigh. By the curve of your emotional honesty. By the way you let your soul show without apology. You don’t need to shrink for him. You don’t need to morph into someone else’s fantasy. Because a man who has awakened isn’t seeking plastic. He’s seeking presence. He desires the kind of feminine that makes him feel seen, safe, and stirred. The kind that awakens his mission, humbles his ego, and honors his heart. So breathe, goddess. Let your sweetness return. Let your softness speak. Let your spirit drip with all the sensual, sacred magic you were born with. Because the man who’s worthy of your womb? He’s not chasing the girl who looks like everyone else. He’s falling—hard—for the woman who feels like no one else. Every. Damn. Time.

SAFETY INCIDENT REPORT Title: Fatal Gas Explosion Claims Entire Family in Warri, Delta State Location: Warri, Delta State, Nigeria Date of Incident: 30th May 2025 Date Reported: 14th June 2025 Reported by: Engr. John Perede Akpoyibo. Incident Summary: On the 30th of May, 2025, a devastating domestic gas explosion occurred at a family residence in Warri, Delta State, resulting in the eventual loss of an entire family of three. The incident happened as the family was preparing for the birthday of their last daughter, who had also recently secured her visa and was scheduled to travel abroad. While using a standard LPG gas cylinder for cooking, an additional mini gas cylinder was introduced into the same kitchen to support the cooking process. During the installation of a burner onto the smaller cylinder, the father accidentally triggered a sharp gas leak. The active flame from the larger gas cooker in close proximity ignited the escaping gas, leading to a sudden explosion. The mother, who was exiting the bathroom at the moment, was also caught in the blast. Casualties: Father: Sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after the incident. Mother: Sustained severe burns, was rushed to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), and later passed on during treatment. Last Daughter: Suffered critical first-degree burns and was admitted to intensive care at UBTH, where she sadly died on 14th June 2025. All three family members later passed on as a result of injuries sustained in the explosion. Root Cause Analysis: Simultaneous use of multiple LPG gas cylinders within an enclosed kitchen space. A gas leak occurred during the installation of the burner on a mini gas cylinder while another flame was active. Lack of proper ventilation and absence of gas leak detection equipment. No immediate access to fire extinguishing or suppression tools. Lessons Learned / Safety Recommendations: 1. Do not install or operate a gas burner near any active flame. Always turn off existing gas sources before introducing another. 2. Avoid using multiple gas cylinders in confined or enclosed spaces. 3. Only install gas appliances in well-ventilated areas, away from ignition sources. 4. Equip homes with gas leak detectors, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. 5. Encourage community-wide training on domestic gas safety and emergency response. 6. Conduct regular safety checks on gas cylinders, hoses, valves This tragic incident, which claimed the lives of a father, mother, and their last daughter, underscores the urgent need for heightened awareness and safety practices in the use of domestic LPG. The simultaneous use and poor handling of gas equipment in confined spaces remains a serious public safety hazard. It is imperative that communities, safety regulators, and households take proactive measures to prevent such avoidable tragedies. Issued By: Engr. John Perede Akpoyibo Safety Advocate & Community Development Leader. *(NOTE :- The above is for our information, carefulness and lessons to learn please).*

FG Announces Evacuation Plans for Citizens Trapped in Israel, Iran but Offers No Timeline The Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it is finalising arrangements for the emergency evacuation of stranded Nigerians in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel following the escalation crisis between these countries. This comes four days after FIJ reported that Nigeria was silent as both countries exchange missiles despite other countries moving quickly to evacuate citizens. In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, spokesperson for the Ministry, the government said it had instructed all affected Nigerians to contact the nearest Nigerian Embassy for registration and further instructions. The Ministry also commended its missions in Tel Aviv and Tehran “for their dedication and commitment to reaching out to the Nigerian community at this difficult time”. “The Federal Government of Nigeria remains committed to the safety and welfare of all its citizens both at home and abroad and is working in close coordination with relevant international partners and local authorities,” the statement reads. Although no timeline has been given for when the evacuations will begin, the government said updates would be provided through official channels. The Ministry also reiterated its call for the “immediate cessation of hostilities” and urged parties involved in the conflict to “respect international humanitarian law and prioritize the protection of civilians”. At press time, the exact number of Nigerians in need of evacuation remains unclear.
