HOW TO BE POOR AND HOW TO GET RICH — The Choice is Yours 🚨 If after 4 years in a higher institution you’re still roaming the streets looking for a job, you need to hear this: you’ve failed—monumentally. Let’s stop pampering mediocrity. We’re in a country where truth sounds like hate because too many people are emotionally allergic to accountability. How do we explain that someone who studied Business Administration is now begging a secondary school dropout for job opportunities? How do we have graduates of Agriculture going hungry, when food is gold? Here's the bitter truth: poverty is not always a curse from the devil; often, it’s a system we’ve bought into with our mindset, our ego, and our excuses. Let’s break this down: 1️⃣ Pride: The Graduate Mentality Trap We want soft life. AC offices. Clean suits. Titles. But reality doesn’t pay you for your degree; it pays you for value. Artisan jobs are dying. In 10 years, Nigeria may have no more plumbers, welders, painters—everyone is chasing office jobs. Yet, the ones creating generational wealth are those with tools in their hands and solutions in their heads. Being a graduate shouldn’t stop you from picking up a skill. The world is changing, but are you? 2️⃣ Get-Rich-Quick Syndrome Everyone wants to hammer, but no one wants to suffer. There was a lady in my former church who kept disturbing me about venturing into tech because she heard I make good money. What she didn’t see were my 7 years of trials, the 2 years of no clients, the cancelled N2M deals, the sleepless nights, the rejections. You want what people have, but can you handle what they went through? Wealth takes time. 5 to 7 years of focused grind—minimum. Stop starting today and expecting harvest tomorrow. That’s not entrepreneurship; that’s fantasy. 3️⃣ Lack of Mentorship We spend millions to learn how to drive. But who teaches us how to make money, live purposefully, or build wealth? When Dr. Stephen Akintayo charges for mentorship, people cry scam. Yet they spend the same amount on phones, parties, and clothes. Poverty thrives where knowledge is undervalued. Mentorship is not free—it demands money or service. But it shortens your journey by years. Find someone ahead of you and serve your way into wisdom. 4️⃣ The “Only Me” Mentality We compete instead of collaborate. We want to outshine, not uplift. But the wealthiest communities—like the Jews—grow as a unit. Africa needs to understand: teamwork will take you farther than talent. 5️⃣ Lack of Integrity Our handshake is not worth a promise. We lie, we cheat, we scam—then pray for breakthrough. We must return to honesty, accountability, and trust. You can’t build lasting wealth without a name people can vouch for. 6️⃣ The Mentality Problem Survival Mentality: Just eating and breathing is not the goal of life. Receiver’s Mentality: Always collecting, never creating. Hunter’s Mentality: Eat today, die tomorrow. No long-term vision. 7️⃣ The Bandwagon Effect You start what’s trending, not what’s purposeful. That’s why we have failed forex traders, half-baked tech bros, and abandoned POS kiosks everywhere. Purpose is personal. You must find your lane, not just follow the noise. 8️⃣ False Priorities We put all hope in: God (without work) Classroom education (without skills) Government (without responsibility) Faith without works is dead. Education without action is useless. Government without personal accountability is hopeless. 9️⃣ Mindset is Everything Until your mind changes, your life can’t. You cannot carry a poor man’s mentality into a rich man’s future. Wealth starts from within. 🔟 Environment Shapes Destiny Your location can limit your vision. Surroundings influence success. You can’t live in a dump and dream of a palace without mental relocation first. Move. Change your crowd. Redesign your inputs. 💥 Until you break these chains, you will remain exactly where you are: educated, frustrated, and broke. The choice is yours. Be poor. Or rise. Your future is not a prophecy; it’s a decision. ✅ If this message stirred something in you, do this: 👍 Like this post 💬 Drop a comment that says “I choose wealth!” 🔁 Share with someone who needs this brutal truth 👣 Follow me — Damilola Adewuyi — your personal and business development partner 📍Let’s walk this journey together.

SUCCESS NOW BELONGS TO THE MOST FOCUSED, NOT THE MOST TALENTED. In this generation, it’s no longer about survival of the fittest. It’s now survival of the most focused. It’s now about who knows what they want, and refuses to be distracted. You can be talented and still fail. You can be smart and still stuck. Why? Because without focus, you’ll keep starting and never finishing. Everyone is busy. Everyone is trying. But only the focused ones are building empires, creating impact, and making money consistently. Focus is now the real currency. So what’s stealing your focus? EXTERNAL DISTRACTIONS •Social media scrolling •Endless WhatsApp chats and group messages •Phone notifications every 5 minutes •Unnecessary calls •Excessive watching of movies •Trying to keep up with every trend •Consuming too much content without action •Jumping from course to course •Attending every training without implementing •Always being available to everyone INTERNAL DISTRACTIONS •Overthinking and second-guessing •Fear of missing out (FOMO) •Comparison syndrome •Perfectionism •Procrastination disguised as “planning” •Imposter syndrome •Emotional baggage •No clarity or defined goals •Trying to please everyone •Saying “yes” to everything LIFESTYLE DISTRACTIONS •Poor time management •No structure or routine •Toxic relationships •Multitasking everything, finishing nothing •Inconsistent sleep or rest If you want to win in this season, Mute the noise. Pick your lane. Protect your focus like your life depends on it because it does. The world is loud. You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do the right thing, and do it consistently.

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. Source: Classic FM

Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee in St. Peters Square, Rome. The first Catholic man tells his friends, “My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him Father”. The second Catholic man chirps, “My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him “Your Lordship” The third Catholic gent says, “My son is an Archbishop. When he walks into a room people call him “Your Grace” The fourth Catholic gent says, “My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone bows their head and says “Your Eminence”.” The fifth Catholic man says very proudly, “My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him “Your Holiness”.” Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the five men gave her a subtle, “Well…?” She proudly replies, “I have a daughter, Slim, Tall, Very very beautiful, 38D breast, 24″ waist and 34” hips. When she walks into a room, people say, *“My God!!!*🤣🤣🤣 Have a lovely weekend.

🩸The Silent Cry: The Real Dangers of Abortion Intro: A True-Like Story That Happens Every Day Ama was only 19, in her second year at the university. Bright. Ambitious. Full of dreams. But life doesn’t always go as planned. She found out she was pregnant. The father? A guy who had already moved on. Family? She feared the shame. Friends? Most encouraged her to "just take it out and move on." So one quiet afternoon, Ama walked into a backstreet clinic—no signboard, no license, just a promise of quick results. She came out with a heavy heart, bleeding… not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. Days later, Ama collapsed in her hostel. The infection had spread. Her womb was damaged. Her dreams of ever carrying a child again? Gone. This is not just Ama’s story. It is the story of thousands of young women across Ghana and Africa. Some survive. Some don’t. Most carry the scars forever. 🔴 What Is Abortion? Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy before the baby can survive outside the womb. While some abortions are carried out under strict medical guidance due to life-threatening complications, unsafe abortions—especially those done secretly, by untrained persons, or in unsanitary places—pose deadly risks. ⚠️ Dangers of Abortion (Especially Unsafe or Repeated) 1. Physical Health Risks Severe bleeding (hemorrhage): Can lead to death if untreated. Infections: Unsanitary tools or poor hygiene can introduce bacteria that damage reproductive organs or cause sepsis (blood poisoning). Womb perforation: Instruments can tear the uterus, leading to long-term complications or emergency surgery. Infertility: Damage to the womb or fallopian tubes can result in permanent infertility. Organ damage: Unsafe procedures can harm nearby organs like the bladder or intestines. 2. Mental and Emotional Trauma Depression, guilt, and regret are common. Post-Abortion Syndrome: A condition similar to PTSD, marked by anxiety, nightmares, emotional numbness, and self-blame. 3. Social and Spiritual Consequences Emotional distance from partners or family. Isolation due to fear or stigma. Spiritual guilt or disconnection for those with strong religious values. 💔 Common Myths That Push Women Toward Abortion “It’s just a small problem, take it out.” → No. Pregnancy involves two lives: the mother and the child. “Abortion is safer than giving birth.” → Only when done legally and under medical care. Unsafe abortions kill more women than childbirth in many places. “You can’t get pregnant again after just one abortion.” → Many women have faced infertility after a single poorly done abortion. 💡 What Should You Do Instead? Talk to a health professional: Seek counseling and support services. Look into adoption: Many families are looking to adopt children. Educate yourself: Know your body, understand protection, and make informed decisions. Join support groups: You're not alone. There are safe spaces to help you make the best decision. ❤️ The Way Forward for Ghana and Africa We need more education—not judgment. We need safe spaces, not silence. We need men to take responsibility, not escape it. We need communities to empower, not shame. Let’s protect our women, our daughters, and our sisters from the trap of unsafe abortions.

Today the Church celebrates the feast day of Sts. Peter & Paul. As early as the year 258, there is evidence of an already lengthy tradition of celebrating the solemnities of both Saint Peter and Saint Paul on the same day. Together, the two saints are the founders of the See of Rome, through their preaching, ministry and martyrdom there. Peter, who was named Simon, was a fisherman of Galilee and was introduced to the Lord Jesus by his brother Andrew, also a fisherman. Jesus gave him the name Cephas (Petrus in Latin), which means ‘Rock,’ because he was to become the rock upon which Christ would build His Church. Peter spent his last years in Rome, leading the Church through persecution and eventually being martyred in the year 64. He was crucified upside-down at his own request, because he claimed he was not worthy to die as his Lord. He was buried on Vatican hill, and St. Peter's Basilica is built over his tomb. St. Paul was the Apostle of the Gentiles. His letters are included in the writings of the New Testament, and through them we learn much about his life and the faith of the early Church. Before receiving the name Paul, he was Saul, a Jewish pharisee who zealously persecuted Christians in Jerusalem. Scripture records that Saul was present at the martyrdom of St. Stephen. St. Peter & St.Paul Pray for us! #CatholicChurch #CatholicNews #ACIAfricaNews #ACIAfrica #saintoftheday #catholic

😂🏴 The story of how David Beckham's son, Romeo, became an Arsenal fan instead of supporting Manchester United, as he wanted, on Rio Ferdinand's podcast. 🗣 Rio Ferdinand: "How on earth did that happen?" 🗣 David: "He was just a little guy; we were in London, and he said to me: 'Dad, I want to go to a football match.' I checked the schedule, and unfortunately for me, Arsenal was playing at home that weekend, so I had to take him. I wanted to go quietly without any fuss, but we were immediately welcomed in an incredible way. The players came over to him, gave him jerseys and signed scarves, and I thought: that's it. I tried to change his mind, but it was impossible. And that's how I ended up supporting the Gunners throughout his childhood."
