Senate 'll Promote Progressive Governance, National Development - Akpabio

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has reiterated the commitment of the Senate under his leadership to progressive governance, economic empowerment, and national development.

Akpabio stated this in his acceptance speech after his investiture as a Fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Lagos on Friday.

According to Akpabio, "the Senate’s commitment to progressive governance, economic empowerment, and national development remains unwavering. And I assure you that this honor will not be taken lightly. If anything, it will only spur me to work harder, to push further, and to serve better.

"I stand before you today deeply honored, profoundly humbled, and immensely grateful. To receive the Honorary Fellowship of this distinguished institution is not just a privilege; it is a testament that there are values we hold dear—the values of service, excellence, and unwavering dedication to building a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.

Akpabio noted that, "for over five decades, the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers has stood as a beacon of professionalism, integrity, and nation-building. You are the silent architects of Nigeria’s urban transformation, the custodians of our nation’s physical wealth, and the guardians of the principles that sustain our economy—accountability, due process, and strategic planning."

"Your work ensures that our cities are well-planned, our investments are secured, and our future is built on a solid foundation. Without you, the skylines of Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt would remain concepts, not realities. Without you, businesses would struggle to find the confidence to invest, and without you, the dream of homeownership for many Nigerians would remain just that—a dream.

"So today, as I receive this honor, I do so not as an individual, but as a representative of the Nigerian Senate, as a servant of the Nigerian people, and as a voice of the Nigerian people. I also know that leadership is about legacy. Therefore, I dedicate this award to the 10th National Assembly and the great people of Nigeria, who have entrusted us with the sacred duty representing them in the governance of this country..

"This recognition is not just a celebration of what has been done, but a call to action for what must be done. It is a charge to lead with renewed vigor, to continue to fight for policies that will make housing more affordable, land administration more transparent, and infrastructure more sustainable.

"It is a call to ensure that Nigeria’s land and property assets are managed with the efficiency, integrity, and foresight that will secure our economic future.

"To my brothers and sisters in the real estate and valuation profession, I say—your work is critical to Nigeria’s development. And we, in government, are listening. The policies we craft, the laws we enact, the reforms we champion—all must align with the vision of a Nigeria where economic growth is not just a statistic, but a reality that uplifts every citizen.

"To the leadership of NIESV, I thank you again for this recognition. To the distinguished guests here today, I thank you for your presence. And to the Nigerian people, I reaffirm my commitment to you—because in the end, governance is about service, and service is about people.

A father used to say to his children when they were young: —When you all reach the age of 12 I will tell you the secret of life. One day when the oldest turned 12, he anxiously asked his father what was the secret of life. The father replied that he was going to tell him, but that he should not reveal it to his brothers.
—The secret of life is this: The cow does not give milk. "What are you saying?" Asked the boy incredulously. —As you hear it, son: The cow does not give milk, you have to milk it. You have to get up at 4 in the morning, go to the field, walk through the corral full of manure, tie the tail, hobble the legs of the cow, sit on the stool, place the bucket and do the work yourself.
That is the secret of life, the cow does not give milk. You milk her or you don't get milk. There is this generation that thinks that cows GIVE milk. That things are automatic and free: their mentality is that if "I wish, I ask..... I obtain."
"They have been accustomed to get whatever they want the easy way...But no, life is not a matter of wishing, asking and obtaining. The things that one receives are the effort of what one does. Happiness is the result of effort. Lack of effort creates frustration."
So, share with your children from a young age the secret of life, so they don't grow up with the mentality that the government, their parents, or their cute little faces is going to give them everything they need in life.
Remember
"Cows don't give milk; you have to work for it." Invest and invest, work and walk through the values with patience and the result will be massively positive to make you wealthy.
Unreserved Credit to the respective curator

In life, you are only irreplaceable to your parents, siblings, and children. Every other person can replace you. Your wife can remarry. Your girlfriend will befriend another boy. Your boss will replace you. And your friends will find other friends. But your parents cannot have another you. Neither can your siblings. And even if your wife remarries, her new husband will be a stepfather, not a father to your children. This is why doctors will ask you to bring your blood relatives if you need a compatible organ donor. Therefore, absorb this wisdom while you are still alive and step up to do something substantial and permanent for those in your life to whom you are irreplaceable.

THE PRICE OF WEALTH
STORY OF A YAHOO BOY (EPISODE 15)

Why did they cast me out of my family like this? Did they not think it would be better to let her dïe peacefully in her sleep or pass away in any other quiet way? Why did she have to die like this, calling my name?

How do I face my family and answer their questions now? Three days later, my family summoned me to the village. They told me to come or else something bad would happen to me.

The děath of my mother made me so weak. I won’t lie, I never thought she was the most valuable thing to lose because I believed she was safe in the village after Baba's last attempt on her life. This time, she died calling my name. How will I face my family now? Should I bring backup, like forearmed, just in case? But if I do that, they will suspect my involvement in my mother's death.

I said, "All dïe now, díe. " After two days, I gathered the courage to go back to my village alone. The meeting was very harsh.

They called me a blood ritualist and said I used my mother for rituals. They wanted me to tell them what I knew about my mother’s děath, but I said I didn’t know anything and that I only returned home to bury my mother peacefully. They told me I wasn’t in a position to bury her and asked me to step outside.

First, they told me to give them 5 minutes. I stepped outside and stayed by my car, watching the area just in case they planned to attack me. If I saw any youth carrying a weapon, I would drive away and leave them.

After about 8 minutes, they told me to come inside. The elderly man was the first to speak. "Daniel, we have discussed this matter and have decided to disown you. You will no longer be part of our family, and don’t even think you belong to this community, because we will tell the king to banish you immediately. We will reconsider you only if you can explain how your mother died.

Until then, leave this village and never return to this compound. " If I just walked away like that, they’d think I’m truly guilty. I decided to cause some drama. I burst into tears.

"You are w!cked! All of you are wicked! Today, I know the truth. This family has no conscience at all. I am mourning my beloved mother who died, yet you refuse to let me bury her.

You disown me. You still banish me. But don’t worry, God sees all of us, and He will judge us all! " I said, crying. I held my chest as I shed crocodile tears. As I cried, all of them just looked at me, thinking, "See this pretender. " No problem. I walked to my car, started it, and drove away.

When I drove a little distance, I parked the car and brought out a handkerchief to clean the fäke tears. After a while, my family set a date for my mom’s burial, and she was buried in my absence. When I got home, my computer beeped. I wanted to ignore it, but then it beeped again.

When I checked my laptop, I saw that my client from Cyprus had just sent me money. It was the biggest payment I had ever received since I started doing Yahoo – a whole 3 million dollars. When I saw the money, I was shocked. I was still looking at the laptop when Baba called me to come in.

"Congratulations, my child. You have paid your price in full, and now your cash-out is confirmed. The gods have finally separated you from Judith. Just live your life from now on. Judith no longer matters. Judith even needs you more now because only you can make her pregnant in this life. " "Baba, but why did the gods k!ll my mother?

Why did the gods reveal to my mother that it was me who k!lled her? I don’t like that part at all. " Baba replied, "It is not your place to ask such questions. The gods have finally freed you from Judith. That was the matter. Be very careful with women from now on. Goodbye. "

I thought about Judith. I’m yet to decide on what to do with her, but I must deal with her. It was her stubbornness that made me lose my mother. I only have my Tundra for now. After I made a lot of money, I ordered the latest model of the Chevrolet Camaro online, which cost 29 million naira, and the car arrived at my place exactly one week later.

The car is amazing; both the interior and exterior are really impressive. I checked my WhatsApp status and saw that Judith was already in Nigeria. She posted a picture with a man putting his head on her chest, captioning it "Ito. " She’s just doing all these things to make me angry. Honestly, I don’t know what I did to deserve this treatment from this girl.

I decided to go to the club to celebrate my new car. I spent money that day. I bought drinks for everyone in the club, threw money around, and people started pecking. I even gave the hype man 300,000 naira to only call my name.

People recorded videos of my reckless spending that night, and those videos started trending all over social media. The videos trended to the extent that Judith watched them on her phone. Immediately, she gave me 10 missed calls.

*THE MANY VITAL ROLES OF CHOLESTEROL*


Cholesterol is produced by almost every cell in the body.

Cholesterol in cell membranes makes cells waterproof so there can be a different chemistry on the inside and the outside of the cell.

Cholesterol is nature’s repair substance, used to repair wounds, including tears and irritations in the arteries.

Many important hormones are made of cholesterol, including hormones that regulate mineral metabolism and blood glucose, hormones that help us deal with stress, and all the sex hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen and progesterone.

Cholesterol is vital to the function of the brain and nervous system.

Cholesterol protects us against depression; it plays a role in the utilization of serotonin, the body’s “feel-good” chemical. That's why if you use statin and lower the cholesterol level beyond the required depression sets in. Mama Sadé, what is wrong with you and she'd reply you I can't just tell, I'm just down dey play.

The bile salts, needed for the digestion of fats, are made from cholesterol.

Cholesterol is the precursor of vitamin D, which is formed by the action of ultra-violet (UV-B) light on cholesterol in the skin.

Cholesterol is a powerful antioxidant that protects us against free radicals and therefore against cancer.

Cholesterol, especially LDL-cholesterol (the so-called bad cholesterol), helps fight infection.

*ONION: THE KILLER & THE HEALER?!*

Whether onion is a great blessing (useful herb) or a poison is an age-long controversy among medics.

In 1919, flu killed 40 million people. A doctor visited the many farmers who had the attack to see if he could help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers & their family had contracted the flu and many died.
However, the doctor came upon one farmer whose family was healthy and nobody in the house contracted the flu.
The doctor asked the farmer what he was doing that was different from the others.
The farmer's wife replied that she put an unpeeled onion in a dish and placed them in all the rooms in their house.
The doctor thought that could have been the cure so he asked for one of those onions.
As he placed it under the microscope, he found the flu virus in the onion. The onions obviously absorbed all the bacteria and thereby kept the family healthy.
Now, I sent this story to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:
She said ' Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story but, I do know that I myself got pneumonia and became very ill. From my previous knowledge about onions, I cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to myself over night.
By the morning, I began to feel better while the onion became black.'
*Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe the onions that we ate earlier are to blame.*

*Onions ABSORB BACTERIA* and that is the reason why they are also good at preventing us from getting *colds & flu* in left peeled in our room !!!

*And for that very reason we should NOT eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has *been cut open.*

*Left over onions are poisonous*

When food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is whether the 'victim' ate *ONIONS* and where those onions came from. Most probably the *ONIONS,* are the cause.

*Onions are huge magnets* for bacteria, especially uncooked ones.

*Never ever keep a portion of sliced onion over a period of time and thereafter use it to prepare food. It's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and placed it in your refrigerator. It is still poisonous*

*Sliced onions from Malam that sells Suya could be Poisonous or Safe; depending on how long the Onion has been left sliced open !*
*It is better to buy the Suya without Onions !*
*Even when you take the Suya home without Sliced Onions from the Malam; so that you can use your house Onions to eat the Suya; You must not also make the mistake of leaving the Cut Onions on the Suya for a long time before consuming them as quickly as possible !*

Also, do not give onions to dogs. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

*Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to save it to cook with the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night - as it creates toxic bacteria which causes adverse stomach infections and food poisoning.*

I am sharing this from another person—
Share this to as many people as possible to let them know the poisonous effect of peeled onion left over —which can cause us to be sick.
