*A Cry for Our Children: A Wake-Up Call to Parents and a Return to Godly Parenting* With a heavy heart, I watched a video making rounds - the SS3 students, young minds who just concluded their WAEC exams, engaging in shameful and immoral displays in the name of celebration. What should have been a moment of reflection has been turned into a festival of indecency and mockery of values. This is not the generation our forefathers prayed for. We are raising a generation that seems to have lost its way—where vulgarity is called expression, and shame is dismissed as old-fashioned. These are not just "children having fun." These are warning signs of a decaying moral foundation. To every parent out there: do not assume your child knows better. Do not assume they are safe just because you provide, clothe, and send them to school. School can never ever do everything. The school can never be successful if a family foundation and culture are not already there. Cultivate moral principles at ages 1 and 12, then the school will build from there. Be close to your children. Talk to them. Know their friends. Know their struggles. Monitor their online habits. Most importantly—pray for them, and pray with them. The truth is painful: many parents are present in the home but absent in the lives of their children. We must return to the way of our grandparents—a way built on discipline, respect, fear of God, and community accountability. They didn’t need the internet to teach values. They taught it at dawn prayers, at family meals, with the rod of correction wrapped in deep love and concern. "Spare the rod and spoil the child." This is not just a saying—it’s a divine imperative as well as principle. A generation not corrected will surely correct itself in the street, behind bars, or on a viral video for the world to scorn. Dear parent, wake up. You are not just raising a child. You are shaping a future husband, a future wife, a future leader. Don’t leave that to chance. The enemy is not sleeping—why should you? We must return to God. We must return to prayer. We must return to values, a return to character moulding. It takes time, it needs time. It is cumbersome, it is not an easy job as many modern day parents think. It is painstaking. May God have mercy on this generation. May He open our eyes before it is too late. *Let this video not just make us shake our heads. Let it shake us back to responsibility.* Rev. Fr. Francis UNEGBU (PhD) Noble Mentor

Hypertension Is Not a Salt Problem. It’s a metabolic warning shot. Let me say it loud and clear: Salt is not your enemy. Your metabolism is. Here’s what they won’t tell you in the hospital: 🔺 Stress raises cortisol. 🔺 Cortisol raises insulin. 🔺 Insulin tells your kidneys to hold onto sodium. 🔺 Sodium holds water. 🔺 Water raises blood volume. 🔺 And boom—your blood pressure climbs. It’s not just the salt on your stew. It’s the sugar in your bread. The fake food on your plate. The chronic stress in your life. The insulin resistance in your cells. The weak mitochondria that can’t regulate inflammation. You’re not salty. You’re inflamed. You’re insulin resistant. You’re overstressed, overfed, undernourished. And no, skipping table salt won’t fix that. What actually helps? 🧠 Rebuilding mineral balance 🫀 Supporting mitochondrial energy 💪🏽 Resetting insulin sensitivity 🫗 Helping your kidneys let go of what they’re hoarding 🌿 Eating food that whispers “you’re safe” to your nervous system This is why some people eat salty soups and live long… And others eat “clean” with bread and juice and still end up in dialysis at 40. -DOF

Dear Parents One of the best gifts you can give to your children is a good home. Creating a positive environment involves supporting their physical, emotional, and psychological development. Nothing stresses a child more than a home where parents are in turmoil. Provide your child with a safe haven. Ensure the home is safe and free from hazards, addressing both physical safety (like childproofing) and emotional safety (offering a non-judgmental space for self-expression). Parent together as a couple to model teamwork. Children learn by observing, so demonstrate values you want them to adopt, such as honesty, kindness, and responsibility.

This got me emotional and deep in thought when I heard it… At a school’s end-of-year party, the hall was filled with excitement as the children gave their presentations. Among them was a little boy of class 5 named Nathan. Several children had already taken the stage with clear and straight voices, full of confidence. Everyone had concluded it was a day full of beautiful talent displace and that the kids were amazing. Then came Nathan’s turn. “But why did the teacher allow Nathan to present, knowing how he struggles to speak in front of people?”🤔 Nathan stood frozen. His words barely came out. His eyes searched the crowd, hoping to see a safe face but all he saw were expectant eyes. His mother forced a small smile to encourage him, but inside, her heart sank. She felt sad and embarrassed. She wondered, why her son couldn't shine like the others. Nathan was gently cheered back to his seat. He wasn't able to present though he tried. He went to his mother looked at her and whispered, “I tried.” She smiled, hugged him tightly, and said, “It’s okay.” Now, let me ask you: 🔹 What do you think was wrong with Nathan? 🔹 How many ‘Nathans’ do you know? 🔹 Are you facing the same dilemma, wondering how to help your child grow in boldness and confidence? Let us help. BHF Community Kids Learning Club is where your child needs to be. We don’t just teach the things we teach, we transform.

The woman you were when you had to survive was a force of nature. She did what needed to be done—no matter the cost. She built walls, armored her heart, and carried burdens no one even guessed she was holding. She learned how to hide her pain behind a smile, how to steady her voice when the world tried to shake her, and how to keep putting one foot in front of the other when the ground felt like it was crumbling. You were the storm and the shelter at the same time. You found strength in places you didn’t know existed. You became tough, sharp, unbreakable—because you had to be. No one else saw the battles you fought in the dark, the times you cried in silence, the nights you wondered if you could keep going. That woman was a survivor, and she deserves your deepest respect. She is the reason you’re here today. She is the reason you made it through. But survival is not the same as living. Those days required a certain kind of grit, a toughness that got you through the worst, but also left you exhausted, wary, and always bracing for the next blow. You were always on guard, scanning every room for danger, expecting every kindness to disappear, and believing peace was just a pause before the next storm. Your heart became a fortress, your mind a battlefield, your soul a soldier. You survived because you had no other choice. But hear this truth: you are not in that place anymore. You have crossed the rough seas and made it to new shores. The air is different now, the sky is clearer, the world is not as cold and hostile as it once felt. You are not the hunted anymore. You are the leader, the creator, the woman who owns her story. You don’t have to live in survival mode any longer. You don’t have to flinch at every sound, tense up at every touch, or question every moment of peace. You are allowed to let your shoulders drop, to unclench your fists, to breathe deeply and freely, and to believe in safety. You have earned the right to rest. Rest is not weakness. Gentleness is not surrender. You can let your heart soften now. You can let your guard down—not because the world has stopped spinning, but because you have become wise enough to choose who gets close, strong enough to walk away from what hurts, and brave enough to trust yourself. You are smarter now, not just because you survived, but because you learned. Survival taught you resilience, but healing will teach you joy. You are allowed to step out of the armor that once saved you, and into the light that now calls you forward. You are not that scared girl anymore. You are a woman who knows her power. You are a woman who can stand in a room and hold her own, not out of fear, but out of confidence. You are a woman who leads with both heart and mind, who knows when to be fierce and when to be gentle. You are allowed to love again, to trust again, to hope again. The world may never be perfect, but you are not here to be small or afraid. You are here to live fiercely, to love boldly, and to lead without apology. Let go of the need to control every outcome. Let go of the belief that you always have to be tough. Let the world see your softness, your laughter, your vulnerability. These are not weaknesses—they are the marks of a woman who has survived and chosen to thrive. The version of you that survived was a masterpiece of strength. But the version of you that leads is a masterpiece of wisdom. She knows when to fight and when to rest, when to speak and when to listen, when to hold on and when to let go. You are allowed to change. You are allowed to become more than what your past demanded. You are allowed to shape your life, not out of fear, but out of possibility. You are allowed to rise. Do not be afraid of your own growth. Do not apologize for your healing. Do not shrink to fit an old story. The world is waiting for the woman who is not just a survivor, but a creator, a leader, a light for others still finding their way. It’s time to step into your new power. It’s time to lead with the lessons you’ve earned, to love with the depth you’ve discovered, and to live with the freedom you’ve fought for. You are not bound to the woman who only knew how to survive. She is part of your story, but she is not the whole story. You are allowed to outgrow her, to thank her, and to let her rest. This is your season to live. To lead. To become the woman, you always dreamed you could be—not just a survivor, but a force. Not just a fighter, but a builder. Not just a protector, but a creator of a life worth living. You are not just here; you are fully alive. And that, after everything, is your greatest victory." ✍️Deep Feelings 🎨credit to the artist via Pinterest

LEAVE YOUR FEMALE STUDENTS ALONE! This is not just a warn!ng—this is a cr¥. A cr¥ for the girl child. A cr¥ for our schools. A cr¥ for sanity. Dear young male teacher, You are gifted. You are admired. Your presence alone makes the girls sit up, eager to learn. You speak with passion, you dress smart, you explain well—and you may not know this—but many of those girls in your class are secretly cru$h!ng on you. But listen carefully: Their admiration is not permission. Their smiles are not an invitation. Their boldness is not maturity. They are still children. Tender. VulnerabI3. Still figuring out their emotions. What they feel is not love—it is confusion dressed in admiration. They trust you. They believe in you. And when you cross that sacred line… you k!II something in them. You kiIIher confidence. You kiII her future. You kiII her right to grow up whole and safe. Let me tell you what many don’t talk about. There are girls walking around today—empty, br0ken, hiding pa!n under their makeup—because a teacher who was supposed to protect them u$ed them. Some dropped out of school with swollen bellies. Some ended up in danger0u$ relationships they didn’t deserve. Some can no longer focus in class. Some lost their voice. Some have never healed. And what’s worse? Many of them still blame themselves. You were supposed to be her mentor. Her light. Her guide. Instead, you became her first heartbr£ak, her first betrayaal, her first $hame. Let me say this loud and clear: If a girl student ever gets bold enough to come close, it is because you have already given her the signal. Yes—you may not have touched her yet, but your boundary is already weak. And weak boundaries are a silent invitation to destruct!on. Don’t tell yourself “it’s love.” It’s not. Don’t say “she started it.” She didn’t. Don’t say “others have done it.” That’s no excuse. The truth is: many male teachers have ru!ned the destiny of the girl child in the name of love. And nobody talks about it enough. Be different. Don’t become another reason why a girl can’t look a male teacher in the eye without f£ar. Don’t become the face she remembers every time the word “trust” is mentioned. Don’t destr0y a child to satisfy your weakness. You are not just teaching a subject—you are shaping a soul. So protect her. Guard your role. Be disciplined. Be a real man. Be the teacher she’ll write about with pride—not pa!n. Let this be the end of this madn€$$. Let the classroom be a place of growth, not trau.ma. If this message touched your heart, share it like fire. We must shout it louder until every teacher hears it: Leave the girl child alone. Let her grow. Let her breathe. Let her be safe.

*COLOS, ON COLOS, COLORADO. A SYNTHETIC PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE KILLING OUR YOUTHS* . By: Hon Chief Ezechukwu N Obonna (ISSUP, ISAAC, WFAD) Special Adviser On Narcotics And Illicit Drug Monitoring (IMSG) June 09, 2025. Colorado, which is popularly called *COLOS* in Nigerian street life, is a synthetic drug designed to mimic the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in marijuana that triggers the highness. Colos is a strain of cannabis/marijuana, but unlike natural marijuana, which is derived from the cannabis plant, Colos is made by spraying synthetic chemicals onto dried plant material, such as shredded leaves or grass. These chemicals are engineered to bind to the same brain receptors as THC but often with far more potency and unpredictability. The specific chemical ingredients in Colos often vary between batches and are typically unregulated and untested for safety, making the drug highly dangerous. Some variants have been linked to serious health issues, including hallucinations, seizures, and, in rare cases, organ damage or failure. Someone is being said to be "On Colos" when the person is under the influence of Colos. _The instant side effects of smoking Colorado_ : Immediately upon smoking Colos, the user may experience a range of immediate physical and mental effects. These can vary depending on the specific chemicals used in producing the Colos, the dose, and the individual's health status. *Physical Effects Of Colos* _Respiratory Problems And Shortness of Breath_ : Smoking Colos can irritate the lungs, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Prolonged use may increase the risk of developing chronic respiratory conditions. _Dizziness and elevated heart rate_ : Many smokers report a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and nausea shortly after consumption. These symptoms can be particularly dangerous for individuals with underlying heart conditions. _Dry mouth, red eyes, and appetite changes_ : Similar to natural marijuana, Colos may cause dry mouth and red eyes. Users might also experience changes in appetite, either increased or decreased. *Mental Effects* _Altered Perception And Euphoria_ : The synthetic chemicals in Colos can induce feelings of euphoria or highness and altered sensory perception. However, these effects are often accompanied by negative reactions. _Hallucinations, Anxiety and Paranoia_ : Many users experience heightened anxiety, paranoia, and even hallucinations. These effects can be intense and distressing, leading to dangerous behaviors. *HOW TO QUIT SMOKING COLOS* Recognising the need to quit is the first step toward recovery. Individuals struggling with Colos addiction should endeavor to seek help. *Treatment Options* : _Counseling and therapy_ : Behavioral therapies can help individuals understand the root causes of their addiction and develop coping strategies. _Support Groups_ : Connecting with others facing similar challenges can provide encouragement and accountability. Support groups like Marijuana/Colos Anonymous will help a lot. _Medical assistance_ : Medications may be prescribed for detoxification, manage withdrawal symptoms, and reduce cravings. Building a strong support system of family, friends, and healthcare professionals is essential in the recovery process. *ADDICTION PREVENTION* Raising awareness about the dangers of Colos is crucial in preventing its spread. Educational programs in schools, communities, and media outlets can inform the public about the risks associated with synthetic drugs.
