*DREAMS Become Reality When Thoughts Become ACTIONS *

Everyone has dreams, but only the disciplined turn those dreams into reality.
Wishing is easy. Planning is smart. But action is *what makes it real.*

> *FACT:* 92% of people never achieve their goals—not because they don’t dream big, but because they never take *consistent* steps toward them.

Your ideas mean nothing without execution.
Your goals remain fiction until you put in the *work.*

*Here’s what separates dreamers from doers:*

- *Clarity of vision* – Know what you want, and why it matters.
- *Daily action* – Small, steady steps are better than random sprints.
- *Resilience* – Action invites failure—but it also breeds strength.
- *Accountability* – Track your progress, adjust, and keep moving forward.

The gap between “someday” and “success” is *action.*
Don’t just visualize your dream, *build it.*

Start now. Start small. Just start.

THINK ABOUT IT!
Do you want to remain poor or break the vicious circle of poverty? The choice is yours. Like, share and comment.

It is profoundly disheartening that, notwithstanding the pendency of several applications before the court—including duly filed and served committal proceedings—the individual who unlawfully entered the premises of Next Foods Limited in Ikeja GRA has continued to act with brazen impunity, showing utter disregard for both the authority of the court and the sanctity of public order.

It is a well-established principle of law, and indeed of civil society, that once parties have submitted their grievances to the judiciary, they are duty-bound to maintain the status quo and allow the court to determine the issues before it. Any deviation from this principle not only undermines the justice system but also sets a dangerous precedent for lawlessness.

My younger brother, who serves as the Chairman of Next Limited, and I have spared no effort in trying to identify and reach out to the woman who lays claim to the property in question, with the sincere intention of exploring a peaceful and amicable resolution. Regrettably, all such efforts have yielded no fruitful outcome, as she remains evasive and inaccessible. -PO

*From Hawking Drinks to Football Stardom: Rasheedat Ajibade's Inspiring Journey*

Super Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, has shared her remarkable story of rising from humble beginnings to becoming one of Nigeria's most celebrated female footballers.

Humble Beginnings
Growing up, Ajibade spent her childhood hawking olive oil, kunu, and zobo drinks within church premises during deliverance programmes. These early struggles taught her resilience and instilled in her a deep faith.

Faith and Hard Work
Ajibade credits her success to her faith and hard work. She shared with the congregation at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries' 'Power Must Change Hands' programme, "Whenever things are tough, I pray and seek God's help. I do my part through hard work, but I never forget to seek divine guidance."

Inspiration to Others
The 25-year-old Atletico Madrid forward and WAFCON champion encouraged others to never give up on their dreams, saying, "Keep praying, keep fasting, keep working, and keep believing. I was once one of those young girls hawking drinks, but today, I give glory to God."

Ajibade's inspiring story is a testament to the power of faith, hard work, and determination.
