BREAKING NEWS: The Federal Government has introduced a new guideline setting 12 years as the minimum age for admission into Junior Secondary School 1 (JSS1), following the completion of six years of primary education.

BELIEVE ME ! YOU ARE RICHLY BLESSED.
' YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER. "

' Richness is not measured by the amount of money or number of property you have but by the number of people you are able to touch or inspire with the little you have or your words of encouragement "
It really perturbs me when I see some people classifying themselves as poor and as a result, will not have something to offer to the next person you are better off with.
No matter your condition, there are people you are better off. Out of the little you have, endeavour to use it to put smiles to the next person.
If you have a loaf of bread , share it with someone .
If you have ' used " clothes / wears /cars ,etc. don't throw it away , somebody elsewhere may need it.

If you have wisdom or acquired excess education, utilize it well , encourage and inspire others and educate the less privileged ones.

Your left over foods could be repackaged for other peoples consumption. Don't throw away foods.
Learn to give out. The rewards for almsgiving is uncountable. You may not know when, where and how the reward will come.

Finally, don't expose or broadcast your charity to attract unnecessary ego. Never expect reward for your kind gesture rather do more and more to touch lives.

Just look around you, and listen to yourself ,
You will see reasons to touch a life
Life is worth living
Touch a life today, you will be glad you did.
BE RICHLY INSPIRED THANKS ,

Olusegun Mimiko gave poor kids in Ondo free uniforms, free buses, and free meals—then put them in world-class “Mega Schools” with ICT labs, libraries, and AC classrooms.

He even set up Nigeria’s first medical university.

Public education had dignity under Mimiko.

After Mimiko left office, the mega schools began to rot.

The free buses stopped.
Uniforms vanished.
Standards collapsed.
Some mega schools now look like abandoned warehouses.

Successors gave them neglect.

This is why Nigeria stays poor.

We kill every good thing.

Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.
