David Raya when asked his thoughts about Arsenal taking on PSG in the Champions League Semi Finals: “We beat them at home but I think PSG now are a different team. They look even better than what they looked back in the group stage and that’s credit to them. They haven’t had easy games either.

“I’m looking forward to it, but for now let’s focus on the present, focus on this weekend when we go to Ipswich and then we’ll see when it comes to PSG what happens.”

Guys, EVERY SECTOR IS HIGHLY PROFITABLE. Yes.

If you started out as a salary earner, when you get laid off, resign, retire etc. you will find yourself at sea and completely clueless. You will hop into EVERYTHING another person is making money from.

That is NOT how it works.

Your best bet is to focus on learning the business angle of what you are skilled at or have cognate experience in. Some skills like accounting, marketing, admin are useful across ALL sectors. Others are more niche based.

The fastest way to pay bills is for you to learn how to make money from what you already know. Either that or you learn something new from scratch, do an apprenticeship then ultimately branch off on your own. Much time expended.

There is money in palm oil
There is money in fashion design
There is money in mobile toilet
There is money in supply
There is money in events management
There is money in agriculture

The only questions you should be asking is, “how much personal experience do I have with any of these sectors? Do I know the risks associated with that business? Where is my market?”

If the answer is “none,” “no,” “I don’t know,” please face the one wey you sabi, perfect am, market am. The one wey you go use settle bills come buy food join no go pass your power.

If you are broke,

Disappear for 3 years.

Cut off all the distractions.

Eat well + work out + sleep early + read books + learn a skill + make money + Build an online business + make new connections.

Stay focused and disciplined.

You'll make millions

HOW TO CHOOSE A NICHE FOR YOUR ONLINE BRAND.

A lot of people are confused when it comes to choosing a niche.

You don’t need to “have it all figured out” to choose a niche.

Here’s how to pick your niche without overthinking.

1. CHECK WHAT YOU KNOW, LOVE, AND CAN TEACH WITHOUT GOOGLE.

Ask yourself,

What do people always ask me about?

What can I explain even if someone wakes me up by 2am?

What topic excites me and energizes me?

What have I suffered through, survived, and now I want to help others with?

Your niche is usually hidden inside your knowledge, your experience, or your wounds.

2. FOCUS ON WHO YOU WANT TO HELP, NOT JUST WHAT YOU WANT TO SELL

Instead of saying: “I want to sell skincare products.”

Say “I help young women clear their acne and feel confident in their bare face.”

See the difference?

Your niche is not just what you do.

It’s WHO you do it for and WHY it matters.

3. MONETIZE FROM DAY ONE (EMOTION NO DEY PAY BILLS)

If your niche cannot be monetized, it’s a hobby. Not a business.

Do people pay for this problem to be solved?

Are there coaches, content creators, or products already making money in that niche?

Good. That means there’s a market.

Don’t try to be the first. Choose a lucrative niche.

4. START WITH ONE THING. YOU CAN EVOLVE LATER.

You’re not married to your niche forever o.

Start with what you know now.

As you grow, your niche will grow with you.

Clarity comes along the way.

5. STOP WAITING FOR A VOICE FROM HEAVEN.

My dear, your niche won’t come with thunder and lightning.

It won’t say, “Behold, this is thy calling…”

You find your niche by:
• Testing
• Creating content
• Serving people
• Listening to feedback
• Seeing what works

The more you show up, the clearer it becomes.

Don’t let “I don’t have a niche” stop you from building a brand.

Start from where you are.

Pick something. Package it. Post it.

Then keep refining as you go.

You don’t find your niche by sitting still.

You find it by moving.

FISCAL DISCIPLINE, REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION CRITICAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEV.- GOV UMO ENO

... as Senate President applauds his leadership style

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has emphasized on the need for states and local governments to embrace fiscal discipline and revenue diversification to achieve sustainable development.

The Governor stated this while delivering a public lecture on the theme: "Leading Economic Development in Sub-Nationals of the Nigerian Federation: The ARISE Agenda," at the University of Uyo.

He noted that the ARISE Agenda was borne out of the desire to grow the economy while developing abundant human resources in the State, focuses on eight lofty goals including; Poverty reduction, Job creation, Price stability,sustainable economic growth, improved standard of living, environmental sustainability, highly educated, healthy and skilled people, and the Security of lives and property

He further explained that the ARISE Agenda, a flagship economic blueprint that guides his administration's development efforts, is an acronym for ‘five-group aspirations’: Agricultural Revolution, Tourism Development and Environmental Management; Rural Development, Women & Youth Empowerment; Infrastructural Maintenance and Advancement; Security Management, Sound Educational and Health Sector Management; and Economic, Industrial and Social Advancement

The Governor who holds a Doctorate degree in Public Administration from the University, said that since the inception of his administration, wastages in government have been minimized, and the government is determined to expand its revenue base by digitalization of government operations.

"Soon, we will launch AKWAGIS, a digital platform where we will be collecting ground rent, which as we speak is in the region of N16 billion. Through this platform, we will be able to seamlessly offer Certificates of Occupancy, which would help attract businesses to our State.

"We are also investing heavily in the tourism sector that has been variously described as the “New Black Gold.” From agricultural tourism, through our Ibom Model Farm, to medical tourism, with our planned Ibom International Medical Centre - a 200-bed hospital that will come with 24 different departments under one roof. This hospital, once completed, will compare to any such facility anywhere in the world.

"The ARISE Resort, which we hope to commission in the first half of this year, the International Conference Centre, the Ibom Tropicana Hotel, which we are poised to complete will signpost our ascendancy as the tourism hub of our nation and bring in billions of Naira in revenue.

" We remain committed to the growth and expansion of Ibom Air and work is ongoing in the Aviation Village, as part of our investments in the aviation eco- system.

"We are committed to the human capital development of our people and this has been acknowledged by the Federal Government and the World Bank, leading to the launch two days ago, of the Human Capital Development Strategic Plan by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON.

"We have achieved a success rate of 3.5% out of school children, against the national average of 25.6% - a truly remarkable feat.

"We are positioning our State for growth beyond oil by these strategic investments in tourism and human capital development," he said.

The Governor said to ensure the success of economic development in sub-nationals, policymakers must develop action plans before implementation, strengthen governance and institutional capacity, enhance internally generated revenue (IGR) to reduce reliance on federal allocations, promote regional economic cooperation and trade among states, encourage private sector-led development through investment incentives, and focus on collaboration rather than conflicts.

He appreciated the crafters of the ARISE Agenda, and expressed his determination to go the extra mile to further development in the State, while urging policymakers, corporate bodies, the academia, and citizens to join hands with him in the journey towards a prosperous, self-reliant, and globally competitive sub-national economy.

In his remarks, the President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio applauded the Governor for his inclusive leadership disposition which according to him has engendered unprecedented peace and security in the State.

Senator Akpabio who was represented by Dr. Saviour Enyiekere, Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), also commended the Governor for his collaboration with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government, and assured of the support of the All Progressives Congress in the State to ensure the Governor's second term victory in 2027.

Chairman of the Occasion, Emeritus Prof. Akpan Ekpo, the University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo and the Dean of the Host Faculty, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Christopher Ekong as well as Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Prof. Peter Esuh appreciated the Governor for accepting to share his thoughts through the public lecture, stressing that the ARISE Agenda is a comprehensive document that can drive development in the State and other sub-nationals.

The event which attracted eminent personalities within and outside the State, had as discussants, Prof. Okechukwu Onuchukwu, Vice - Chancellor, Ignatius Aguru University of Education, Rivers State, and Prof. Ebebe Ukpong, a development expert and former Commissioner in the State.

The power of words in shaping your reality
~by AkaGod Emmanuel

Absolutely! The "poor man's mindset" can often lead to a cycle of negativity and inaction. When you tell yourself, "I can't," you essentially limit your potential and close the door on opportunities for growth and problem-solving.

Here are a few ways to shift your mindset and focus on positive change:

1. **Change Your Language**: Instead of saying "I can't," try saying "I will try" or "I haven't found the solution yet." This opens the door to exploration and encourages a problem-solving attitude.

2. **Embrace Challenges**: View challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than obstacles. This shift in perspective can motivate you to take action instead of retreating.

3. **Set Small Goals**: Break larger problems into smaller, manageable tasks. Celebrate the small wins to build confidence and momentum.

4. **Positive Affirmations**: Use affirmations to reinforce a growth mindset. Remind yourself of your strengths and capabilities regularly.

5. **Surround Yourself with Positivity**: Engage with people who inspire and uplift you. Their positive energy can be contagious and help you shift your outlook.

6. **Take Action**: The best way to combat a negative mindset is through action. Take small steps toward your goals, and you'll begin to see progress.

7. **Reflect and Adapt**: Take time to reflect on your experiences. Learn from setbacks and adapt your strategies instead of giving up.

Changing your words and, by extension, your mindset can indeed transform your life. Embrace a growth-oriented perspective, and you'll find that many challenges are surmountable with the right approach!

EVERY TIME YOU SLEEP WITH A WOMAN, YOU TRANSFER POWER — WHO'S WINNING?

A Brutal Post About How Careless Sex Is Weakening Men More Than They Realize

Most men don’t understand this…

Sex is not just physical.
It’s transactional.
It’s spiritual.
It’s energetic.

Every time you have sex, especially as a man —
Something leaves you.

You’re either building your strength or draining it.
You’re either transferring power, or receiving poison.

Let’s break it down:

1. Sex Is Energy Exchange — Not Just Pleasure

When you climax as a man, you don’t just release semen —
You release life force.

The same drive that builds empires, creates inventions, and conquers nations —
You’re releasing it into random women you don’t even respect.

And you wonder why you feel tired, foggy, unmotivated…
Check your body count.

2. Not Every Woman Deserves Access to Your Power

Some women carry peace.
Some carry confusion.
Some carry grace.
Others carry destruction.

But when you’re lust-driven, you’ll sleep with anything in a skirt —
And wonder why your life is going backward.

Sex doesn’t just feel good. It plants seeds.

You might be planting vision into the wrong soil.

3. Women Receive — Men Release

It’s biological.
She gets filled.
You get emptied.

That’s not just about sperm — it’s about power.

The more careless you are with your sexual energy,
The weaker your focus, your discipline, and your drive becomes.

You’re draining yourself for free… and calling it “enjoyment.”

4. Sexual Discipline Is Masculine Strength

Any man can chase women.
But a real man controls himself.

While others are busy chasing sex,
You’re chasing wealth, purpose, legacy, and influence.

That’s how kings think.

Your d*ck is not a compass — stop letting it lead your life.

5. You Are Becoming the Women You Sleep With

Yes. That’s real.

You’re exchanging spirits, mindsets, and even emotional baggage.

You may think it’s just a quickie,
But you don’t know what demons she’s carrying.

Now you’re battling depression, laziness, addiction…
And it all started the night you “just wanted to relax.”

6. You Can’t Be Focused and Sex-Obsessed

Sex on the brain? Vision will suffer.
Always in a woman’s DMs? Bank account will suffer.
Too many women in rotation? Your name, health, and peace will suffer.

Your greatest distractions will often come with curves.
And if you’re not smart, you’ll trade your future for thighs.

7. Power Leaks in Pleasure

Every time you finish inside the wrong woman,
You finish a part of your ambition.

And guess what?
You’re empowering her… and disempowering yourself.

She gets free resources.
You get delayed dreams.

She gets emotional attachment.
You get emotional confusion.

You’re transferring power — but you’re not getting any back.

8. The Strongest Men Aren’t the Most Sexually Active — They’re the Most Disciplined

Do you know what turns a man into a king?
Not money. Not women.
Control.

When you can master your urges,
You can master your life.

If your penis controls you,
You are not a man — you are a slave with WiFi.

9. Stop Empowering Women Who Do Nothing but Drain You

She has no plan.
No purpose.
No values.
Just vibes, makeup, and waist.

And you’re giving her all your energy?

You’re investing your masculine power into a human distraction.
And wondering why you're stagnant?

10. Before You Enter Her Body, Ask Yourself:

What am I entering into?
Is this going to elevate me or destroy me?

Am I giving my power to a queen — or a crisis?

Because every sexual act is not just about pleasure —
It’s an agreement.

Some of you are in spiritual contracts you never signed in prayer —
You signed with your pants down.

BOTTOM LINE:

You’re a king.
Stop acting like a stray dog.

Preserve your energy.
Value your seed.
Respect your mission.

Because every time you have sex —
You transfer power.

The question is: Who’s winning? You or her?
