What Are You Feeding Your Mind?

The mind is like a vessel—it absorbs whatever you pour into it. Just like this image portrays, knowledge flows like golden wisdom, shaping thoughts, perspectives, and actions.

Are you feeding your mind with books, learning, and inspiration, or drowning it in distractions?

Every book you read, every lesson you absorb, and every moment of learning adds value to your growth. Choose wisely.

Stay curious. Keep learning. Elevate your mind.

Taking a risk may be daunting, but living with regret is far heavier. Remember, growth often comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. It’s better to try and fail than to spend a lifetime wondering “what if?” Embrace the possibilities, chase your dreams, and give life your all. Every risk is a chance to learn, evolve, and create something extraordinary. Be bold—you deserve a life without regrets!

*BREAKING NEWS*

Tinubu Signs Bill Recognizing Crypto, other Digital Assets

"Investments and Securities Bill 2025" has been described as landmark legislation

President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has approved the Investments and Securities Bill (ISB) 2025, replacing the Investments and Securities Act No. 29 of 2007 with the newly enacted Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025.

According to reports from Techeconomy, the newly signed law officially acknowledges digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and investment contracts, as securities. This milestone legislation has been widely praised by industry stakeholders, who view it as a significant boost to Nigeria’s capital market. Experts believe the law will strengthen the legal framework, enhance investor protection, and introduce key reforms to promote market integrity, transparency, and sustainable growth.

With the enactment of the ISA 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reaffirmed as the primary regulatory authority overseeing Nigeria’s capital market. The new law empowers the SEC to regulate market activities, ensuring capital formation, investor protection, fairness, efficiency, transparency, and the mitigation of systemic risks.

Additionally, the Act introduces significant changes to align Nigeria’s financial market with international standards. It explicitly outlaws Ponzi schemes and other illegal investment ventures, imposing strict penalties on those who promote such fraudulent activities. The law also addresses previous limitations on states raising funds through the capital market, providing greater flexibility in this area.

This development demonstrates the Tinubu administration’s recognition of virtual and digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and investment contracts, as legitimate securities within the Nigerian financial system.

Silence isn’t weakness it’s peace. Since my divorce from Innocent Idibia, I chose to step back, reflect, and heal away from the noise. The truth is, not everything needs to be explained, and not every battle is meant to be fought in public.
Love, pain, lessons, and growth all come with life’s journey. I have embraced mine with grace, focusing on myself, my children, and the future ahead.
Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.

- Annie Macaulay Idibia
