20 days of Building a Network That Works For You

Day 2: The Power of First Impressions
First impressions matter

You might never get a second chance to change the first impression you create.

First impressions aren’t just about what you say. They start the moment you walk into a room:

How you dress
Your scent
The way you walk
Your gestures
Your eye contact

All these are judged before you even speak.
These small details can be the reason you’re remembered, or forgotten.

This is what I’ve learned:
You don’t need the most expensive clothes, but be intentional about how you dress.
Perfumes are not a luxury; they are a necessity. Your rubbing oil is not your perfume.
Walk with confidence. Head high, shoulders back. Let your presence communicate energy and purpose.

In a world where people are distracted and quick to judge, being intentional about the first impression you create is a career advantage.

Your first impression is your silent pitch in every room you enter.

Be intentional about the first impression you give to people. The good news is that you have control over the kind of impression you create.

764,000 have lost money while 58 crypto wallets have made millions on Trump’s meme coin, data shows.

(Last paragraphs are very important)

764,000 wallets of mostly small holders have lost money on $TRUMP, according to the firm.

58 wallets have made over $10 million each from President Donald Trump’s meme coin, totaling $1.1 billion in profits, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis said.

(Look at the power of BIG CAPITAL; in investment, the number that truly counts is not the number of investors but the number of dollars. Lols)

Now watch this…

The $TRUMP event, set for May 22 at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., includes a reception for the 25 wallets with the largest balance, along with a White House tour.



So….? You know what this means?

When you see $Trump memecoin’s price rising recently due to high demand, know that it’s most likely influenced by the incentive “reception for the 25 wallets with the largest balance, along with a White House tour” and not necessarily a rise in demand out of investors’s perceived value.🫰
(CNBC reported)

👆🏼This is an advantaged news for short term investors in this crypto to make quick money.

But if you are a long term investor, this news and its recent impact on the price movement of the memecoin should not drive your investment decision.🫰

There could be massive sell off by those big investors after enjoying the incentive. You don’t tell them what to do afterwards, do you?

Strong fundamentals should support your long term investment decisions.

I’m an intelligent investor.

BREAKING NEWS: Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man, has submitted paperwork to build Nigeria’s largest seaport in Olokola, Ogun State

𝗖𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻 "DESTROYED" Her Own Career With Her Bad Habits Not 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗲

One of the most used phrase on social media is that media never forgets but sadly, it's as if the media suffers Amnesia Sometimes.

The Jude Okoye Vrs Cynthia Morgan Fall out has exposed Alot and we would take our time to underlist some of these lapses.

Yes, Cynthia Morgan was signed to Northside inc and yes they fell out. This happened as far back as 2016. Now, we are in 2025 -- approximately nine years after. Why is no one talking about her life and career after she left Her former Record Label Boss Jude Okoye?

On the 25th May 2020, we woke up to the news of This same Cynthia Morgan's New manager Joy Tongo ripping her apart on social media. Yes you read right. Cynthia Morgan employed the services of Joy Tongo to manage her after her breakout from Northside inc. Sadly, her bad habits dragged out there too.

Tongo accused this same Cynthia Morgan of owing her $30,000 USD. In this same social media, Joy Tongo plainly told Cynthia Morgan that her downfall was caused by her pride & nasty attitude not Jude.

Jude saw the beyond her Talent and Banked On Her. He gave Cynthia Morgan Life. He picked her up and RePackaged her to match international standard.

When Cynthia Morgan Dropped her First Song Under the Label, No one believed she was a Nigerian . Everybody thought she was Jamaican yet again, Her Sound and the marketing strategy Jude used on her, worked for her so well that the world embraced her --When the money started rolling in, She got Greedy, Left and Fell Off like a Mango fruit falling from a very high tree . Tell me why she wouldn't break her own back?

The Cynthia Morgan of 2015, 2016, was never a saint. Her own controversies were always on another level. The first picture in this post was one of the most criticised pictures in the music industry. She was a heavy smoker and She never gave a damn of where or what Anybody says. In many occasions she had been accused of doing other higher substances. Many of her fans believe it was actually Dr"g that crippled her finances if not, tell me where she kept all the money she made after she left Jude?

Here is a photo of her Kissing Wizkid's then Manager, Bank W. Here again with Burna. Tell me, What Would it cost Burna Boy to reach out to her ? Even if Odogwu decide not to give her a verse, One picture with ODG is enough to revive her already dead career but no. Obviously, They already know things we do not know that is why everyone is trying hard to avoid her.

Until she is ready to tell the world what happened to all the money she made after she Left Jude Okoye's Record Label, She not ready for the truth.

Moral Lesson: Cynthia Morgan Has Tried Others And Found Out Jude was the best but Pride wouldn't let her admit it

BREAKING NEWS

Court Bars Sole Administrator from Inaugurating Newly Confirmed Chairman and Members of Rivers State Services Commission

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has barred the sole administrator, Ibok-Ete Ibasa, from inaugurating the newly confirmed
Chairman and members of the Rivers State Services Commission pending the court's judgment in a suit instituted before it.

Presiding Judge Justice FRANK ONYIRI issued the caution after parties addressed and adopted their final written addresses on the suit by the chairman and members of the Rivers State Services Commission appointed by the suspended governor, SIMINALAYI FUBARA, challenging their suspension by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, retired Vice Admiral IBOK-ETE EKWE-IBAS.

Our correspondent reports that Justice FRANK ONYIRI, after ordering parties to maintain the existing status quo, issued sometime in April 2024 an adjournment the 29th of September, 2025, for judgment.

The claimants, who are Reverend GOODLIFE IDUOKU BEN, AMADI CHRISTIAN ECHELE, CHIMENEM WISDOM JEROME, and three others, are challenging what they described as their illegal sack by the sole administrator and move to place them without due process.

The claimants contend that they were legally appointed and confirmed by the Rivers State House of Assembly and that before they were issued letters of appointment by the governor, a record of their confirmation was on file with the clerk of the house.

According to their affidavit, signed by the suspended chairman, GOODLIFE IDUOKU BEN, the claimants are insisting that the sole administrator lacks the legal powers to suspend them and appoint a new chairman and members of the commission.

The defendants in the suits are the sole administrator of the state, IBOK-ETE IBAS; the accountant general; Access Bank; Zenith Bank; and eleven others.
