A man gave his car to the mechanic for necessary repairs and servicing, the mechanic gave him one week to come and collect his car. Within this period the man traveled to Abuja. On his arrival, he picked can ( unpainted) to take him home. When was inside the car, he noticed that the car was actually his. He as the driver about the car he said that gave him the to hustle with to enable him feed his family. The driver said that his oga is a good man. If you are the man what will you do?

When ALAO Akala was Governor, he hardly spent weekends in Ibadan. Every Friday, he would travel to Ogbomoso to sleep there.

One day, while on his way to Ogbomoso with his convoy, he looked out from his car and saw a man whose car had broken down. The man was trying to fix his tyres. Akala told his convoy to stop. Everyone was surprised because they did not know that the man on the road was Akala's classmate from secondary school in Ghana.

Akala got out of his car and ran to meet him. They hugged each other warmly, and even though his friend’s hands were dusty, Akala did not mind. After a short chat, Akala asked one of his aides to collect the car key and fix the car. Then he told his friend to join him in his own car. Together, they went to the Governor’s house in Ogbomoso.

After they ate a meal of Amala, Gbegiri and Ewedu, they sat and talked about life since their days in Ghana. Akala asked him, Why have you not come to visit me Do you not know that I am the Governor His friend replied, It is not easy to see you They might embarrass me

Akala immediately gave him a brand new Toyota Camry and some money. He then said, Come and see me on Monday in the office with a good proposal

That was how Akala changed the life of a friend he had not seen in many years.

May God send people your way who will help and bless you.

Lessons from this story

Always treat your friends well, no matter their status

Help others when you are in a position of power

Stay humble and kind because it can change lives

Think about it

How many of your old classmates or friends have you helped when you had the chance

Did you become proud and treat them badly

Do you behave as if your success is only your doing

Were you even the best in school

Akala helped his classmate when he had the power to do so. You too should help your friends and classmates when you have the chance.

Remember, your position today will not last forever. One day, you will be called former or ex. The way you treat people today may affect how your own children are treated in the future.

As the Yoruba saying goes, Time and season rule life, no one owns life forever

Let us all learn from Akala’s example and try to make a positive impact in the lives of others.

God will connect you to the right people who will help you reach your goals.

Duties of a Chief Bridesmaid



BEFORE THE WEDDING

There are a wide range of jobs for the Chief Brides Maid to do during the months of the bride’s engagement, for instance:

1. Help the bride choose and shop for her wedding dress and accessories, as well as any change of clothes on the wedding day.

2. Help select the dresses and accessories for the bridesmaids.

3. Manage and oversee the bridesmaids, making sure they coordinate and are kept updated on all appointments, trials, fittings, decisions and schedules.

4. Act as the bride’s problem solver should any bridesmaids have any issues relating to their own roles and responsibilities.

TIP: most problems arise over money so it’s sensible to establish early on who is paying for the bridesmaid’s dresses and accessories. Nowadays there is no set rule and depends on the requirements and flexibility of the bride and the cost of the dresses. For example if the bridesmaid is a student or unemployed without an income and the bride wants her to wear an unaffordable bridesmaid’s dress that will only be worn once it is not the best idea to expect the bridesmaid to pay for her dress. Whereas if the bride is flexible and is happy for the bridesmaid to choose a dress of her own that fits the brides ideas, style and colour scheme, then it is reasonable to ask her to pay for the dress, since it is likely it will be worn again.

Zubaida and the Forbidden Grove
Origin: Sudan (Nubian Influence)

Episode 1: The Shadow Beneath the Date Palms

In the ancient village of Karma, along the banks of the Nile, lived Zubaida, a skilled weaver known for her mesmerizing tapestries. Her fingers danced like whispers over thread, telling stories of gods, crocodiles, lost queens, and sky spirits.

But Zubaida was haunted.

When she was just a child, her twin sister, Safina, disappeared after wandering near the Forbidden Grove—a stretch of sacred land said to be cursed by the goddess Nyarai, guardian of balance and time. Since then, Zubaida had seen glimpses of Safina in her dreams—eyes glowing like stars, hair dripping with river reeds.

Their father, once a palace advisor, had forbidden any talk of the grove. The village had moved on. But Zubaida had not.

At 25, Zubaida was unmarried—a rarity in her land. She was feared for her visions and her refusal to marry. Secretly, she made a vow: She would find the grove, and if Safina was alive—or even a whisper in the wind—she would bring her back.

One day, a stranger arrived: Sayid, a traveling scribe who came seeking a legendary pattern Zubaida had once woven of a “twin sun.” He claimed it matched ancient texts about portals hidden in sacred places.

As the two bonded over scrolls and stories, Sayid revealed something more:
His great-grandfather had once wandered into the Forbidden Grove and returned... changed. He spoke of a mirror-world, of spirits trapped between memories and time.

Together, Zubaida and Sayid made a plan to enter the grove during the Bloodwater Eclipse, when the moon turned red and the Nile whispered its oldest songs.

But the grove was watching. And something—or someone—was waiting.

ENUGU RITUAL WONDER: I Still Can't Believe It - Uche Kingsley (Uche Agumba), You Too?

Following the Enugu State ritual wonder that was unveiled few days ago by security operatives coupled with government swift intervention with an executive order to demolish the country home and shrine of the branded ritualists and serial killer of innocent souls, you’ll be shocked at this piece scripted by a close friend of the culprit who is still in shock of the secret dealings of the culprit, even as they have known eachother as co church goers and innocent citizens. Read Below:

Sometimes, life hits you with news that leaves you completely speechless.

A few days ago, I came across a video that shook me to the core. It was about one of the accomplices of that Enugu native doctor who was recently arrested for ritual killings. To my shock, the name mentioned was Uche Kingsley, popularly known as Agumba—a name I’ve known for years.

At first, I wasn’t sure it was the same Uche I knew. The name, the nickname, the location—it all sounded too familiar. But I brushed it off. I told myself it must be someone else. After all, the Uche I knew was a deeply religious man, someone who never missed church programs and was even known to travel from Aba to Enugu for special Catholic events.

He was one of those people who would question your faith if you missed church. He often challenged me for not being as “serious” with religion as he was.

But when I watched the video again and heard that the man dealt in furniture materials at Ariaria, Aba—it hit me. I knew this Uche. This was the same guy I once shared memories with. Out of curiosity and concern, I searched for him online. And when I saw his pictures, my heart dropped. It was truly him—Uche Agumba.

We go way back. Uche served a man from Uga Anambra state (whose name I’ll leave out here), and I remember when he got settled around 2011 or 2012 after serving for seven years. We were all young men trying to make it. I recall one particular day we returned from Port Harcourt, and he said to me, “Before I get married, I must be a very wealthy man.” I reminded him that he was the only son of his parents. He nodded and said, “I know—but this is what I must do.”

Everyone who was in the building materials line at Ariaria back then knew Uche. From 2005 to 2011 to 2013, and now. we trained together at Osusu Primary School field before I moved out of Aba. I can’t remember him ever missing church. He was deeply involved in religious activities—chartering buses to Enugu weekly, buying and selling bottles of anointed water and yoghurt after the programs. I checked his Facebook recently—he still shares posts from those same church programs.
