Peter obi Snubs Edo State Governor as Peter Obi Writes An Emotional Thank You Message To Those Who Celebrated His Birthday, Explains Why He Does Not Celebrate Birthday. He Wrote..... "Thank You All ! From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of goodwill and birthday wishes I received worldwide. I remain deeply grateful to all who marked the day in one way or another, not to mention Nigerian youths, the Obidient family and the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, renowned for their apostolate to the poor. As for me, while I deeply appreciate the gestures of celebration, I must once again reiterate that I do not personally celebrate birthdays. I recall vividly when I turned 50, during my time as Governor. Many institutions and individuals approached me with elaborate plans for the occasion. One institution generously offered to build a house for me in the village. When I asked for the estimated cost, they said it would be N120 million. I humbly requested that the funds be redirected to build classrooms in three educational institutions at Agulu, Ekwulobia and Abatete. They obliged-and the impact was far-reaching. Another group had budgeted N20 million for a lavish party. I graciously asked them to consider using the funds to purchase desktop computers for schools. Their eventual donation of 200 desktops was distributed to schools across the state, enhancing learning for many students. In a similar spirit of redirection, another organisation-whose intention had originally been to celebrate me-ended up donating buses, which we distributed to institutions in need, including one that went to the legendary Old Rangers Association. This has been my consistent approach over the years. On each birthday, I use the opportunity to redirect goodwill towards causes that uplift others. As I turned 64 years old yesterday, I must confess that the current state of our nation makes the idea of personal merriment even more difficult to contemplate. The scale of suffering and deprivation among our people weighs heavily on the conscience. This is why I have once again requested that all those who wish to celebrate me should instead channel their resources towards helping the poor or supporting our struggling health and educational institutions. On my part, I have chosen this day to renew my personal commitment to continue supporting the institutions of state in the best way I can, especially those that directly serve the people. Providentially, I was in Rome, at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, and my birthday coincided with this visit. I used this sacred opportunity, as I always do when I am in Nigeria, to remember you all in prayer. I especially prayed for our beloved country, Nigeria-that God may touch the hearts of our leaders, and awaken in them the realisation that public funds are meant for the public good. May we all find strength and grace to keep striving for a more just, compassionate, and equitable society. Thank you, once again". -PO

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT SPORTS Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the role of sport/exercise in the body of a patient: 🔑 1. Improves Blood Circulation Regular physical activity enhances cardiovascular function, improving blood flow to vital organs. This promotes better delivery of oxygen and nutrients, aiding recovery and tissue repair. 🔑 2. Boosts the Immune System Moderate exercise has been shown to enhance the immune response, helping patients fight infections and reduce inflammation — crucial for those managing chronic conditions. 🔑 3. Regulates Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels For diabetic patients, physical activity increases insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar, reducing dependence on medication and preventing complications. 🔑 4. Enhances Mental Health Exercise releases endorphins — the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals — which help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, common in many chronic illness patients. 🔑 5. Supports Weight Management For patients with obesity, cardiovascular diseases, or metabolic syndrome, exercise helps in burning calories, improving metabolism, and maintaining a healthy weight. 🔑 6. Improves Joint and Muscle Function In conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or fibromyalgia, light to moderate exercise strengthens muscles, improves joint flexibility, and reduces stiffness and pain. 🔑 7. Improves Sleep Quality Patients suffering from insomnia or sleep disorders benefit from exercise, which promotes deeper and more restful sleep, crucial for healing and immune function. 🔑 8. Enhances Respiratory Health Aerobic exercises (e.g., walking, cycling) increase lung capacity and efficiency, benefiting patients with asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). 🔑 9. Reduces Risk of Secondary Illness Even in patients recovering from serious illness (like cancer or stroke), sport reduces the risk of recurrence, complications, or developing secondary diseases like cardiovascular problems. 🔑 10. Improves Overall Quality of Life Ultimately, regular exercise increases mobility, independence, confidence, and social interaction, all of which are vital for holistic recovery and long-term wellness. ⚠️ Important Note: Exercise must be tailored to the patient's condition, age, and capacity. It should be gradual especially with the use of HEALTHY LIFE MAT and proper rest.

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. I share real truths, real strategies, and real steps for growth — no fluff, no gimmicks.

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.
