The power of words in shaping your reality
~by AkaGod Emmanuel

Absolutely! The "poor man's mindset" can often lead to a cycle of negativity and inaction. When you tell yourself, "I can't," you essentially limit your potential and close the door on opportunities for growth and problem-solving.

Here are a few ways to shift your mindset and focus on positive change:

1. **Change Your Language**: Instead of saying "I can't," try saying "I will try" or "I haven't found the solution yet." This opens the door to exploration and encourages a problem-solving attitude.

2. **Embrace Challenges**: View challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than obstacles. This shift in perspective can motivate you to take action instead of retreating.

3. **Set Small Goals**: Break larger problems into smaller, manageable tasks. Celebrate the small wins to build confidence and momentum.

4. **Positive Affirmations**: Use affirmations to reinforce a growth mindset. Remind yourself of your strengths and capabilities regularly.

5. **Surround Yourself with Positivity**: Engage with people who inspire and uplift you. Their positive energy can be contagious and help you shift your outlook.

6. **Take Action**: The best way to combat a negative mindset is through action. Take small steps toward your goals, and you'll begin to see progress.

7. **Reflect and Adapt**: Take time to reflect on your experiences. Learn from setbacks and adapt your strategies instead of giving up.

Changing your words and, by extension, your mindset can indeed transform your life. Embrace a growth-oriented perspective, and you'll find that many challenges are surmountable with the right approach!

The Akwa Ibom State Government has issued a stern warning to Sterling Oil Exploration Company following violations of terms of land grant and unlawful encroachment beyond its legally assigned portion in Eastern Obolo and surrounding communities in the State.

In a strongly worded letter dated Friday, April 4, 2025, and signed by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Uko Udom, SAN, the State Government expressed deep displeasure over the company’s illegal operations and disregard for regulatory provisions.

The letter mandated Sterling Oil to, within seven (7) days, submit all documentation relating to its land acquisitions and Right of Way approvals in Akwa Ibom State to the Office of the Attorney General. The company is also directed to immediately restore all blocked canals and waterways, and to desist from any future interference with natural water channels.

Furthermore, Sterling Oil is required to produce a certified copy of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report that was submitted in pursuit of regulatory approvals for its operations.

The Government emphasized that these measures do not preclude further enforcement actions.

It reaffirmed its commitment to protecting citizens and host communities affected by the company’s activities and upholding the legal frameworks guiding the Oil and Gas Free Zone under which Sterling Global operates.

While reiterating its pro-business stance, the Government warned that corporate interests must not override the rights, welfare, and ecological integrity of Akwa Ibom communities.

The State remains resolute in ensuring that all operators within its territory strictly adhere to the rule of law and sustainable development practices.

Sabbath, Lord's Day, etc

The question of which day to worship, Sunday or Saturday, often arises among Christians. While the Jewish tradition emphasizes the observance of Shabbat, Christians tend to prioritize weekly corporate worship. For Jews, worship is a daily practice, with lengthy prayers offered three times a day. On Shabbat, Jews engage in worship activities that differ from their daily routine, but the primary focus is on ceasing from creative work. This concept of resting one day a week is not as prominent in Christian practice, where emphasis is placed on worship itself (click here). However, Jesus' words about the Sabbath being made for man provide insight into the Jewish context. The seven-day week, established by the God of Israel, applies to both Christians and Jews, regardless of the specific day chosen for corporate worship. This discussion opens the door to further exploration of the topic (click here).

Alleged $968,000 Fraud: How Fake US Engineer Duped Me-Witness

The trial of Wawe Eseoghene Nelson, a.k.a James Andrew Shmit and Philip Bradley before Justice Aliyu Halilu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja commenced on Thursday, March 14, 2025 with the presentation of the First Prosecution Witness, PW1, Kathleen Sharp by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Nelson, arraigned on February 11, 2025 is facing prosecution by the EFCC on 11 count-charges bordering on advance fee fraud, impersonation, conspiracy and obtaining under false pretence to the tune of $968,000 (Nine Hundred and Sixty-eight Thousand Dollars), allegedly obtained from two US victims, Sharp and Holly Stamm.

Count one of his charge reads: “That you, Wawe Esoghene Nelson (a.k.a James Andrew Smith) sometime in 2023 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of One Hundred and Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($155,000) from one Kathleen Sharp, living in the United States of America with Telephone Number +13025983826 through Chase Bank with account name Pearl and Allison Llc, account number 952177670, Routing 021000021, account address 35 Knollwood Dr Aptos CA 95003 with bank address at 1990 41st Avenue, Capitola, CA 95010 under the false pretence that you are James Andrew Smith, a Petroleum Engineer from United States of America that is into engineering project, relating to petroleum project which pretence you knew was false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

Count 11 reads: “That you Wawe Esoghene Nelson (a.k.a Philip Bradley) sometime in 2022 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable court with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000.00) from one Holly Stamm, a Citizen of United States of America with email address stammus2012@gmail.com through Bitcoin and under the false pretence that you are James Andrew Shmit a Petroleum Engineer from United States of America that is into engineering project relating to petroleum exploration and that the said sum will be used to secure a petroleum project which pretence you knew was false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) (a)of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

He pleaded not guilty to all the charges when they were read to him, prompting his trial.

Led in evidence by prosecuting counsel, Maryam Aminu Ahmed, the witness narrated how the defendant lured her via the social media into sending him money in the guise of financing a project and would repay her when the project yielded dividends upon completion.

“I was contacted by the Commission that they discovered that I was defrauded by one James Andrew Shmit via social media platform. We communicated over social media where he presented himself as an engineer working at BP Oil in the Gulf of Mexico. He started by asking for funds because he did not have access to his personal funds and the credit situation in connection with the project required a large amount of funds with the promise that it will be returned and he will avail the funds to me. The total funds are $183,000 (One Hundred and Eighty-three Thousand Dollars) through three instalments, one by wired certificate cheque, two instalments by wired transfer. The first one was for $45,500, (Forty-five Thousand Dollars), the second one was $131,000 (One Hundred and Thirty-one Dollars) and the third was $7000 (Seven Thousand Dollars) I wired. I have not been paid my money. After the third instalment, he pushed me to pay another $10,000 (Ten Thousand Dollars), but I did not pay. There was a picture on his profile, he has brown hair and white. I will like the refund of the investment and funds and he should be persecuted for his actions,” she said.

Justice Halilu adjourned to April 16, 2025 for cross examination of the witness.

THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF MARRIAGE...
Specially for you.

1. THE AMAZEMENT STAGE: This is the "wow" stage. Lots of new things to discover with your spouse. The newness, the freshness is so amazing. Sleeping on the same bed, wearing the same attire, cooking for him, doing house chores with her, bathing together. Wearing your dazzling wedding ring everywhere, turning people's head at the newest couple around. Loads and lots of fun. Sexual exploration and excitement. Being in control of your kitchen, feeding him and lots more. It's the honeymoon stage and it's so so beautiful.

2. THE IRRITATION STAGE: This is when you begin to notice weaknesses you have overlooked or blissfully wish they go away but didn't. The repetition of such weaknesses begins to work on your nerves and you are getting irritated: he snores a lot, she is slow in the kitchen, she belches loudly, he screams unnecessarily, she won't bathe before coming to bed or shave, he spends many hours watching football and ignores you when you talk. "What's just wrong with this guy?" You think aloud, well it's part of marriage.

3. THE ANGER STAGE: This is when the repetition of such weaknesses gets on your nerves and you display your anger. The introverted partners stuffs it in and either keep malice, avoid you or stubbornly continue with the irritating habit. It's the stage you begin to wonder: "have I really married the wrong guy?" "Have I married the wrong woman?" No, you did not, you are simply going through a phase together.

4. THE RESSOLUTION STAGE: When you both begin to face the reality of marriage and acknowledge your partner's weaknesses. You eventually realize anger and malice does not solve any problem and begins to find ways to deal with your differences, both of you begin to compromise here and there and adjust to each other.

5. THE ACCEPTANCE STAGE: When it dawned on you that some things are just part of your partner and may never change till Jesus comes. You resigned from anger, abuse and quarrel THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF MARRIAGE...

6. THE RESTUL STAGE:This is the stage you permanently accept them with all their strengths, weaknesses, short comings and flaws and love them unconditionally regardless of what they do. This is real love -agape, divine and true. You reconnect emotionally, spiritually and physically at a deeper level and enjoy honey moon again while building a lasting marriage regardless of the challenges you face.

There is no perfect marriage. Every marriage goes through this stages. How you handle it will determine if you will come out bitter or better.

You don't have to abuse your spouse or keep malice if Christ is at the centre of your home and you obey the word of God daily.

Nevertheless, do not be disappointed if you go through the unpleasant stages in marriage. It is a phase and will surely end.

Handle your marriage with wisdom and keep loving regardless of the challenges you face.

TIMING AND SEX
1. Not every time is time to have sex. Find out the state of your spouse first.

2. If you are a man who climaxes too quickly, study your timing to stop pumping and come out of her when you feel you are about to climax. This will delay your ejaculation.

3. Don't spend too much time doing one sexual thing whilst making love. Your spouse might get bored. Good timing is when you transition to the next sexual act after adequate exploration. For example, don't kiss for too long, don't lick for too long, don't play with the nipples for too long, don't do one sex position for too long.

4. Don’t transition to the next sexual act too quickly before your spouse even enjoys what you were doing. Don't rush the kissing, the foreplay.

5. Don't approach your spouse for love making when you know very well his/her mind is somewhere else; perhaps rushing to finish a deadline, rushing to leave for work, preoccupied with the children. Don't take offense if your spouse turns you down. It is not that your spouse doesn't want you, it's just not the right time.

6. Gentleman, as you pump inside your wife and you realize she is about to climax; that is not the time to stop or slow down. That is the time to pump harder or faster as she wants it. She is about to climax. If you mess up when almost there, it might take her a while to get there again.

7. During love making is the wrong time to talk about domestics, chores, work, responsibilities and duties. Everything else can wait, focus on pleasure.

8. Lady, when your husband is horny for you and you are in a position to give it to him, don't make him wait for too long. Strike while the iron is hot.

9. After the husband has ejaculated. Give the penis time before the next episode so that it can rejuvenate. If you rush it, it might erect but lose hardness mid-way because it hasn't adequately breathed.

10. Withdrawal method is all about timing. The man must master the precise time to come out of her when he feels the ejaculation is almost. This works best with all sexual positions besides the one where she is on top of him. When the wife is on top, the husband has less control of his penis.

11. When life gets busy, you two might have to resort to intentionally creating time for love making or else you will end up having a sexless marriage. I would appreciate your feedback.

Play allows children to explore new environments and ideas.
