  • Peter Obi thanks Tinubu for deciding to visit scenes of Benue massacre

    Peter Obi and President Bola Tinubu.

    By Bayo Wahab
    Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has reacted to President Bola Tinubu’s decision to visit Benue State on Wednesday following the gruesome killings of over 200 people last weekend.

    While commissioning The Greater Abuja Water Supply Network on Monday, the President sympathised with the government and the people of Benue State.

    According to a statement by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the President has already rescheduled his official visit to Kaduna State to assess firsthand the recurring crises that claimed numerous lives and caused significant destruction in Benue.
    Reacting to the development in a statement, Obi, who had earlier criticised Tinubu’s leadership style, said it was refreshing for Nigerians to learn that the President has “finally decided to visit the scene of the brutal killings in Benue State.”
    While thanking the President for his decision, Obi asked him also to visit Niger State, where floods claimed many lives.
    “It was refreshing news on Monday to a bewildered nation learning that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has finally decided to visit the scene of the brutal killings in Benue State. For this I thank him even as I make further request that similar gesture should be extended to Niger state that lost more number of human lives in a natural disaster, flood recently,” the LP leader said.
    The opposition leader maintained that the presence of the President in these ‘devastated and grieving communities’ will be very reassuring and uplifting.
    Both Benue and Niger States have lost over 200 lives each due to recent tragedies. In Mokwa alone, more than 200 people were confirmed dead, and over 1,000 are still missing following the floods. These are not just statistics; they are the lives of Nigerian families torn apart and their communities destroyed, Obi stated.
    He advised the President to let his visit to Mokwa in Niger State send a strong message that all Nigerian lives matter and that no community, no matter how rural, is forgotten
    Obi also urged President Tinubu to step up security across the country, especially in disaster-prone areas

  • Behind every #blooddonation is a story of hope and healing. Patients around the world, from accident victims to those undergoing complex surgeries owe their recovery to the anonymous donors who provide the blood that sustain their lives

    World Blood Donor Day, celebrated every year on June 14th, was founded by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2004. Its primary aim is to raise awareness about the importance of safe blood donations and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts.

    WHO reports that over 118 million blood donations are collected globally each year, thanks to the concerted efforts of national health services, NGOs, community groups, friends and families.

    However, challenges remain as many developing countries still face blood shortages and struggle to provide safe blood due to lack of resources. It is important to increase donor recruitment and retention, particularly amongst younger generations.

    We therefore make a call to advocate for and support blood donation. If you are a regular donor, thank you for your life-saving generosity. If you have never donated before, consider making an appointment to donate and join the global community of life-savers.

    Many thanks to blood donors worldover for their invaluable contributions to humanity. Here’s to 21 years of celebrating the gift of life and to many more years of generosity, compassion, good health, and well being.

  • 7 Mental Upgrades to Start Making Money by Breaking Poverty Indoctrination

    I have been providing one-on-one coaching for close to 15 years now. When it comes to money, I’ve observed that most people have certain mental limitations that keep them from breaking into financial breakthroughs through what they do.

    In this short article, let me show you 7 of these limitations along with quick tips on what to do to break out and start winning financially.

    1. Upgrade from Scarcity Thinking to Opportunity Awareness
    Stop believing there's “not enough.”
    Start training your mind to believe there is so much money to make and you have all it takes to make the money you need.
    Start training your mind to spot overlooked opportunities.
    Wealth flows to those who solve problems, not those who avoid them.

    Just to add, jealousy often stems from a scarcity mindset, the belief that someone else's success limits your own opportunities.
    But when you have an abundance and opportunity driven mindset, you won’t feel jealous. Instead, you’ll celebrate others' success, knowing that more success creates more opportunities for everyone.

    2. Upgrade from Waiting for Permission to Taking Initiative
    Poverty conditioning teaches obedience and approval-seeking.
    Wealth mindsets are built on bold decision-making and self-leadership.
    Don’t wait. Move. Test. Adjust. Win.
    People who take initiatives always end up making more money because money follows movement. ~ Dr. Joybert Javnyuy

    3. Upgrade from Passive Learning to Income-Driven Execution
    Poor mindsets collect information with no transformation.
    Wealth builders turn every insight into income-producing action.
    Your notebooks are full. It's time your wallet is too.
    This can only happen when you stop learning passively and start taking actions on what you have been learning.
    Learners do not make money. Money making is for those who deploy knowledge acquired.

    4. Upgrade from Money Avoidance to Money Mastery
    Poverty indoctrination makes you feel guilty about desiring more money.
    Do not confuse loving money so much that you're willing to make it at all costs, even through unethical means, with desiring more money so you can use it as a tool to improve your life and positively impact others.
    The wealthy learn how money moves, grows, and multiplies. ~ Dr. Joybert Javnyuy
    Study money like your life depends on it, because it does.
    Religious people avoid money and spiritual people master money and use it to serve humanity.

    5. Upgrade from Skill Hoarding to Value Packaging
    It’s not about how much you know, it’s about how you package what you know for impact and income.
    Knowledge is potential wealth. Packaging is real wealth.
    You can only monetize the knowledge you have packaged. ~ Dr. Joybert Javnyuy

    In under 30 days, you'll have at least 5 sellable products crafted from your knowledge, experience, and skills, ready to launch and start earning.

    6. Upgrade from Victim Stories to Ownership Identity
    Poverty loves blame. Wealth loves responsibility.
    Even when it's not your fault, it is your future.
    Take the driver’s seat. Rewrite the narrative.
    Poor people are experts in blaming and complaining and wealthy people are experts in taking responsibility and initiative.

    7. Upgrade from ‘One Day’ Thinking to 90-Day Wealth Projects
    Stop dreaming “someday.” Start committing to bold 90-day goals.
    Stop saying, "I will start this in the next few days." Start saying, "In the next 90 days, I will have completed this, achieved that, and accomplished those goals."
    Every quarter should have a money mission.
    Time doesn’t build wealth, execution does.
    Poor people think in terms of time only, while wealthy people have projects for every season.

  • Jumu'ah Reminder:

    The Prophet ﷺ said:
    “The best day the sun rises upon is Friday...” (Muslim)

    Today is not just another day, it's a gift. A weekly reset. A chance for forgiveness, renewal, and reward.

    Make the most of it:

    Pray your Jumu'ah with full presence.

    Listen to the Khutbah attentively.

    Read Surah Al-Kahf.

    Make abundant du'a, especially before Maghrib it's a time when prayers are accepted.


    Let this Jumu'ah be a step closer to Allah ﷻ. Don't let it pass like any other day.

    اللهم اجعلنا من الذين يستمعون القول فيتبعون أحسنه

    Ameen.

    Here are the key benefits:

    Spiritual Benefits:

    1. Obligation and Reward:
    Attending Jumu'ah prayer is fard (obligatory) for adult Muslim men. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
    “The five daily prayers and from one Jumu'ah to the next is an expiation for whatever (sins) come in between, so long as one avoids major sins.” (Sahih Muslim)

    2. Opportunity for Forgiveness:
    The Prophet ﷺ said:
    “Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, goes early, listens attentively to the Khutbah, and does not engage in idle talk—he will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

    3. Surah Al-Kahf Reward:
    Reciting Surah Al-Kahf on Friday brings light (guidance) for the week:
    “Whoever reads Surah Al-Kahf on the day of Jumu'ah will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.” (Al-Hakim)

    Social and Community Benefits:

    1. Unity and Brotherhood:
    Muslims gather weekly, reinforcing bonds of brotherhood, equality, and unity.

    2. Educational Opportunity:
    The Khutbah (sermon) is a powerful means for spiritual reminders and community awareness.

    Mental and Personal Benefits:

    1. Break from Routine:
    Jumu'ah offers a pause from daily work life, allowing for spiritual and mental refreshment.

    2. Discipline and Focus:
    Preparing for and attending Jumu'ah develops consistency and mindfulness in one’s spiritual life.

    3. Sense of Belonging:
    Attending regularly can reduce feelings of isolation and strengthen identity as a Muslim. May Almighty Allah makes it easy us and easy our Affairs. Ameen.

  • When an elephant needs to be transported by plane from one country to another—for example, from India to the United States—its crate is filled with… tiny chicks.

    Yes, you read that right: little, fragile chicks.

    Why?

    Because despite their enormous size, elephants are deeply afraid of causing harm. Throughout the entire flight, the elephant stands perfectly still, not daring to move, so as not to risk stepping on a single chick.

    That’s how the plane stays balanced.
    And for the elephant, it’s the first test of its noble nature.

    Fascinated by this behavior, scientists have studied the elephant’s brain and discovered spindle cells—rare neurons also found in humans.
    These are associated with self-awareness, empathy, and complex social perception.

    In other words, an elephant is not only physically huge; it’s an emotional giant, too.
    It feels, understands, and acts with silent wisdom.

    Leonardo da Vinci, deeply fascinated by nature, once wrote about elephants:

    “The elephant embodies righteousness, reason, and temperance.”

    He also noted:
    The elephant enters the river and bathes with a certain dignity, as if wishing to purify itself from all evil.
    If it finds a lost person, it gently guides them back to the right path.
    It never walks alone: always in a group, always led by a guide.

    It is modest.
    Mating happens only at night, away from the herd, and before returning to the group, the elephant bathes.
    If it encounters another herd on its way, it gently moves them aside with its trunk, careful not to hurt anyone.

    But perhaps the most touching thing is this:
    When an elephant senses the end is near, it leaves the herd and goes to die alone, in a secluded place.

    Why?

    To spare the younger ones the pain of watching it die.

    Out of modesty. Out of compassion. Out of dignity.

    Three rare virtues.
    Even among humans.

  • BREAKING NEWS:
    A CURE FOR HIV/AUDS HAS JUST BEEN FOUND
    A cure for HIV could be a step closer after researchers found a new way to force the virus out of hiding inside human cells.

    The virus’s ability to conceal itself inside certain white blood cells has been one of the main challenges for scientists looking for a cure. It means there is a reservoir of the HIV in the body, capable of reactivation, that neither the immune system nor drugs can tackle.

    Now researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, have demonstrated a way to make the virus visible, paving the way to fully clear it from the body.

    It is based on mRNA technology, which came to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic when it was used in vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech.

    In a paper published in Nature Communications, the researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.

    Globally, there are almost 40 million people living with HIV, who must take medication for the rest of their lives in order to suppress the virus and ensure they do not develop symptoms or transmit it. For many it remains deadly, with UNAids figures suggesting one person died of HIV every minute in 2023.

    It was “previously thought impossible” to deliver mRNA to the type of white blood cell that is home to HIV, said Dr Paula Cevaal, research fellow at the Doherty Institute and co-first author of the study, because those cells did not take up the fat bubbles, or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), used to carry it.

    The team have developed a new type of LNP that those cells will accept, known as LNP X. She said: “Our hope is that this new nanoparticle design could be a new pathway to an HIV cure.”

    When a colleague first presented test results at the lab’s weekly meeting, Cevaal said, they seemed too good to be true.

    “We sent her back into the lab to repeat it, and she came back the next week with results that were equally good. So we had to believe it. And of course, since then, we’ve repeated it many, many, many more times.

    “We were overwhelmed by how [much of a] night and day difference it was – from not working before, and then all of a sudden it was working. And all of us were just sitting gasping like, ‘wow’.”

    Further research will be needed to determine whether revealing the virus is enough to allow the body’s immune system to deal with it, or whether the technology will need to be combined with other therapies to eliminate HIV from the body.

    Leonardo da Vinci, deeply fascinated by nature, once wrote about elephants:

    “The elephant embodies righteousness, reason, and temperance.”

    He also noted:
    The elephant enters the river and bathes with a certain dignity, as if wishing to purify itself from all evil.
    If it finds a lost person, it gently guides them back to the right path.
    It never walks alone: always in a group, always led by a guide.

    It is modest.
    Mating happens only at night, away from the herd, and before returning to the group, the elephant bathes.
    If it encounters another herd on its way, it gently moves them aside with its trunk, careful not to hurt anyone.

    But perhaps the most touching thing is this:
    When an elephant senses the end is near, it leaves the herd and goes to die alone, in a secluded place.

    Why?

    To spare the younger ones the pain of watching it die.

    Out of modesty. Out of compassion. Out of dignity.

    Three rare virtues.
    Even among humans.
    When an elephant needs to be transported by plane from one country to another—for example, from India to the United States—its crate is filled with… tiny chicks. Yes, you read that right: little, fragile chicks. Why? Because despite their enormous size, elephants are deeply afraid of causing harm. Throughout the entire flight, the elephant stands perfectly still, not daring to move, so as not to risk stepping on a single chick. That’s how the plane stays balanced. And for the elephant, it’s the first test of its noble nature. Fascinated by this behavior, scientists have studied the elephant’s brain and discovered spindle cells—rare neurons also found in humans. These are associated with self-awareness, empathy, and complex social perception. In other words, an elephant is not only physically huge; it’s an emotional giant, too.
