Listen up, Men! This might sting, but it’s the truth. A lot of people have stories—stories of struggle, pain, rejection, hard work, dreams, and even failures. But here's the hard part: nobody will care about your story simply because you’ve been through tough times. Why? Because everyone has gone or going through something. Everyone has a story to tell of what they’ve been through trying to succeed in life. Some was not actually their fault but life threw situations and occurrences at them. They began to fight trying to make it to the top, trying to make things work, trying to get some of the problems solved or even trying to heal. But the hard truth is that the world doesn’t care and cannot pause for a second no matter how touching these stories are. The world only starts paying attention to your story when you make something meaningful out of it. When you use your pain to fuel your purpose, when you turn rejection into a reason to rise, and when you use your dreams as a blueprint to build something valuable, then your story begins to matter. Think about it: - People didn’t care about Steve Jobs’ story until he built Apple. - Nobody cared about Oprah Winfrey’s painful childhood until she became a global media icon. - The world didn’t pause to listen to Tyler Perry’s homeless-to-success story until he became one of the highest-paid filmmakers. The common thread here is simple: they made their story make sense by creating results. Your story has the potential to inspire the world, but only when you add value to it by turning it into something worth paying attention to. Pain isn’t enough. Dreams aren’t enough. Even hard work isn’t enough. What makes your story powerful is what you do with it. So instead of expecting people to care just because you’ve had it rough, work on yourself. Grow. Build. Succeed. Create something meaningful from your struggle. Make your story one that demands to be heard—not because of pity, but because of what you’ve become despite it all. When you become a person of value, when your life speaks of courage, transformation, and success, people will start listening. They will be drawn to your story—not because of how it started, but because of how you turned it around. In the end, your story matters, but only if you make it matter. Make it make sense.

WHY MEN ARE CALLED "GROOM”, AND THE WOMAN “THE BRIDE” ON WEDDING DAY? Why is the newly wedded man called GROOM and the woman called BRIDE? A friend of mine got tired of his WIFE just about six months after wedding. He complained bitterly to me about her and told me that he has concluded to break up with her; he went on to say that he was sure that he made a mistake. I did not respond immediately because I knew I must tell him the right thing, so I went home. And that is what birth this message. Many MEN have broken up with their WIVES because they end up not being the WIFE that they have dreamt of. But they have forgotten that on their wedding day was when the man was commissioned for the new task. Nobody calls the woman WIFE on her wedding day but BRIDE, because it is the man that will GROOM his BRIDE to become the WIFE. That is why the man is called ‘BRIDEGROOM or GROOM’ and the word grooming has to do with PATIENTLY NURTURING, TEACHING, TENDING and HELPING someone to become what he or she should be. It is therefore believed that a MAN that takes a WOMAN to the ALTAR of MARRIAGE is matured enough to patiently GROOM his BRIDE to become the WIFE. The man is not supposed to just expect the BRIDE to automatically become the WIFE, she must be groomed. It is clear that many men have unnecessary expectations when they were getting married, they want some magic to happen to their wives, they want them to become what they have had in mind about who they want their wives to be; not considering the fact that the woman does not know what is on your mind except you teach her. Our expectations are often too unrealistic, because we don’t remember that change takes TIME and we can only expect something from someone that knows what we want. So before you think of breaking up, have you groomed her? Have you given her TIME to understand you? Hope you realize that a turtle will never become a hawk? God often brings People that are opposites of each other together in MARRIAGE so that they can HELP EACH OTHER in their place of weaknesses. If your WIFE is weak where you are weak, then where will you get the strength that is needed? The problem with many of us is that we don’t accept People before attempting to change them. Of course, your wives are not from your backgrounds, so it will take TIME for them to adjust. Stop trying to change her, ACCEPT her, LOVE her, TEACH her and be PATIENT with her; that is what grooming is all about. She is going to be your WIFE but she is your BRIDE now, so GROOM her. Stop complaining about her, she may be a turtle and you a hawk, she cannot fly so be PATIENT with her. I don’t believe that your MARRIAGE can’t work, be PATIENT and allow GOD to HELP you. May Almighty God continue to be with us, guide and protect us in all our affairs Amen!!! Wishing you the best Marital Life ever to all single Ladies,Bros and Married ones here. You will have the marriage of your dreams. A marriage made in heaven.

An elephant and a dog became pregnant at the same time. Three months later, the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months after that, she was pregnant again, and nine months later, she gave birth to another dozen puppies. This pattern continued for some time. Eighteen months later, the dog approached the elephant and asked, "Are you sure you're pregnant? We conceived on the same day. I've already given birth to a dozen puppies three times, and you're still expecting! What's going on?" The elephant calmly replied, “There’s something important I need you to understand. What I carry isn’t a puppy; it’s an elephant. I only give birth once every two years, but when my baby touches the earth, the world will feel it. When it crosses a street, people will stop and stare in awe. What I carry is powerful and majestic." She continued, “Don’t lose faith. When you see others receiving their rewards quickly, don’t feel jealous if yours hasn’t come yet. Don’t despair. Instead, remind yourself, 'My time is coming. And when it does, people will be amazed.'" MORAL: God’s timing is perfect. Everything comes when it is meant to—never too soon, never too late, but always at the right moment.

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MAN’S SEX LIFE: Most of the time, you complain that your husband’s demand for sex is too frequent. You feel his crave for sex is similar to his need for food and you can’t help but wonder if sex is the only thing he thinks about. Men and women in the areas of sex are wired differently. With these variations in mind, all you need to do is to know how men see sex and understand how to relate with your own man. Sex is one thing husbands would ask more of. Almost all husbands wish their wives can step up their sexual abilities and give them more at “bed time”. Your husband’s case is not different. Ask him and you will be surprised he is likely to be among the 92% of men who say they want more of sex. – Sex of yesterday is for yesterday. While you are still enjoying the fulfillment of yesterday’s sex, your “lover boy” is already thinking of how to get another one. Remember, every man has a sex drive that is stronger than the average woman. – A man’s sex drive is one of his strongest drives. You need to know that only a few things matter to a man than his sex life and the sex drive is stronger than any other “drive” in his body. This is the reason nothing really matters to most men whenever they want sex. – Every man wants his wife to be romantic and involved in bed. No man will love to have a “bedroom failure” as a wife. No matter how religious they are, they want romantic, exciting and tantalizing wives. – He needs routine sexual gratification the same way his wife needs routine acts of love, care and kindness. Just as you want him to be kind to you; he also wants you to be available in bed at least 2 or 3 times a week. Crises arise when the wife wants the act of kindness before sex and the man wants sexual gratification before an act of kindness. My word for you wife is; break the cycle. Give him sex, and see if he won’t show you more love and care. – Virtually every man experiences arousal, attraction and temptation seven times a day. Let him fall into your hands, not into the hands of a strange woman. Help him manage his sexuality. – Men are moved by what they see. Let your husband be attracted to you. Never allow his secretary to take your position; dress nicely. If you are alone in the house put on skimpy dresses, sexy underwears; let him be moved towards you. Dress up in front of him. Make it “The-more-you-look-the-more-you-see” affair. Dress slowly to the extent that he will notice you. You are in your palace, “you own your husband. – Wants the wife to be actively involved in sex. Almost 90% of men said they will be more motivated if their wives can get involved in the bedroom. They said unanimously that they hate “dry and drab” women in their bedrooms. Your man wants you to be involved during foreplay and love making. He wants you to roll your body, turn, raise your laps, roll your buttocks, hold him, put your breast in his mouth, moan, talk, gibber and show that you are really enjoying him. Make him feel like a real man. – Men are more aroused when their wives seduce them. Most men enjoy sexual invitations. Surprise your man by inviting him; become the “seducer” and see how happy he will be. Don’t be ashamed to flirt with your husband; be his mistress, his concubine. – More than 70% of men want sex at least 2 or 3 times a week, while more than 60% of women want sex 2 or 3 times a month. This is where wisdom comes in for you as a woman. If you must keep your man, protect your home and send strange women far from your husband, then you must learn how to improve your bedroom performance. Be among the 40 % of women who are enjoying better relationships with their husbands to. Don't forget my aim and purpose is to make sure homes and family union are brought together once again. Make sure you put everything you have learnt into practice Be wise.

MISTAKES FOOLISH MEN MAKE 🚨 Some men think they are wise, but their foolishness is louder than a generator at 2 AM. They spend on random women, ignore their families, and behave like big boys until reality humbles them. If you want a peaceful and successful life, avoid these 15 foolish mistakes: 1. YOU FEED STRANGERS, BUT YOUR FAMILY IS HUNGRY Your wife asks for money to cook, you say “manage things.” Your children need new shoes, you tell them “things are tough.” But when a slay queen sends “Hey baby, I’m craving pizza”, you’re already on your way to Domino’s like a delivery man. 🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Your own family is suffering, but you’re feeding someone who is only with you because of your money. Who really needs deliverance here? 2. YOU ENJOY LIFE OUTSIDE, BUT YOUR HOME IS A WAR ZONE You’re “outside” every weekend, drinking, dancing, calling yourself “big man”, while your wife is at home, thinking about how to pay rent and feed the kids. 🚨 REALITY CHECK: One day, you’ll return home broke, and the woman you abandoned will be the only one standing by you. By then, it might be too late. 3. YOU’RE INVESTING IN SOMEONE ELSE’S WIFE You think you’re helping a “babe” grow by sending her money? She’s just waiting for a serious man to marry her. You’re paying her bills, sponsoring her hair, nails, and data. But when she’s ready to settle down, she will marry another man. 🚨 CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE: You just built up another man’s wife. Hope you’ll attend the wedding! 😂 4. YOU THINK ASHAWO LOVES YOU – NO, SHE LOVES YOUR WALLET She calls you “baby” because you’re spending money, not because she actually cares. 🚨 WAKE UP! The moment you go broke, she will disappear faster than free WiFi in a crowded area. Oga, you’re not her type – your money is! 5. YOU’RE A BIG MAN OUTSIDE, BUT BROKE IN YOUR OWN HOUSE Outside, you’re a chairman. Inside, you’re a charity case. Your friends see you drinking expensive whiskey, but your children are drinking garri with no sugar. 🚨 EVEN YOUR ANCESTORS ARE SHOCKED. Fix your priorities before life resets you. 6. YOU SMOKE, DRINK, GAMBLE, BUT CAN’T PAY SCHOOL FEES Every weekend, you spend ₦50k on smoking and drinking, but when school fees arrive, you start telling your wife “times are hard.” Oga, times are not hard, you are just stupid. Instead of investing in your children, you’re investing in alcohol. 🚨 REALITY WILL HUMBLE YOU. The same children you abandoned will be the ones to abandon you in old age. 7. YOU’RE CHASING GIRLS WHILE YOUR LIFE IS FALLING APART Your mates are building businesses, but you’re building a catalog of side chicks. You know all the girls in town, but you don’t know how to make money. 🚨 BE SERIOUS WITH YOUR LIFE, BRO. Girls will not help you when you’re broke. Focus on success first – the right woman will come. 8. YOU’RE SPENDING MONEY ON A GIRL WHO’S SAVING FOR ANOTHER MAN You send her urgent 2K, she tells you “thanks baby 😍” But the money goes straight into her savings account for her real boyfriend. 🚨 ONE DAY, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. When she gets married, don’t be surprised if the husband is the same guy you thought was “just a friend.” 9. YOU CALL YOURSELF A “BIG BOY” BUT YOU HAVE NO INVESTMENTS You wear designers, use the latest iPhone, but your account balance is on life support. 🚨 TRUE WEALTH IS SILENT. If your money is only for show, you’ll be broke before you hit 40. 10. YOU’RE COMPETING WITH YOUR MATES WHO HAVE MULTIPLE INCOME SOURCES Your friends invest in real estate, stocks, and businesses, but you’re busy competing over who can pop the most bottles at the club. 🚨 LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION OF STUPIDITY. If you don’t invest now, you’ll be begging your mates for help later. 11. YOU SLEEP AROUND, BUT EXPECT A FAITHFUL WIFE You cheat with everything in a skirt, but the day you see your wife talking to another man, you become a motivational speaker on loyalty. 🚨 KARMA IS NOT A MYTH. If you want a good woman, be a good man first. 12. YOU KEEP BORROWING TO IMPRESS PEOPLE WHO DON’T CARE You take loans just to live large, but those people you’re impressing won’t help you when you’re in debt. 🚨 STOP LIVING FAKE LIFE. Wealthy men don’t borrow money for luxury – they invest and multiply it. 13. YOU CHOOSE WOMEN BASED ON LOOKS, NOT CHARACTER She’s fine, but does she have sense? She’s sexy, but does she have self-respect? 🚨 A PRETTY FOOL WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. Choose wisely before you end up with a liability, not a wife. 14. YOU ALLOW WOMEN TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE A woman asks for money, you empty your account. She tells you to stop talking to your friends, you obey like a child. 🚨 BE A MAN, NOT A PUPPET. A woman should complement your life, not control it. 15. YOU NEGLECT YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE You believe in money, women, and vibes, but when problems come, who will fight for you? 🚨 EVEN BILLIONAIRES PRAY. If you think money is everything, you’ll learn the hard way that life is deeper than cash.

THIS IS HOW SATAN WANTS TO STOP YOU FROM GETTING READY FOR THE RETURN OF JESUS…. As you follow Jesus, God works in your life daily to make you conform to His will. This divine work has a single, central goal. JUST ONE GOAL. This goal is NOT to make you happy in this world. It is NOT to make you rich in this world. It is NOT to make you great in this world. It is NOT even to make you comfortable in the world. Rather, God’s GOAL is to BRING YOUR LIFE IN THIS WORLD TO AN END! And to replace that life WITH THE LIFE OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. The reason for this is simple. God has a standard of perfection that He wants mankind to meet (Matt 5:48). However, there’s no way that you (or, any man) can ever meet this standard of perfection that will please the heart of God. Fortunately, this standard has been fully met in Christ. And God wants to transfer that perfection to you. To achieve this goal, here is what God does. He simply crucifies your old life, and INTEGRATES YOU INTO THE LIFE OF CHRIST, thereby turning you into a brand NEW CREATURE entirely (2 Cor 5:17). In this way, you become ONE with Christ. Such that when God sees you, He sees His Son reflected in you. This is what greatly pleases the heart of God - today, tomorrow, and for all eternity. This integration of your life into the life of Christ is crucial for your journey to eternity. This is why Jesus strongly urged believers to ABIDE IN HIM, warning that ANY man that does not abide in Him will be gathered, cast into the fire, and BURNED (John 15:6). A believer that does not fully understand this truth, and embrace its implications firmly, can never, ever be ready for the return of the Lord. Today, as mankind approaches the end of The Age, and the coming judgment, God is gathering ALL that will be saved into His Son, Jesus Christ. However, standing resolutely and viciously against this divine plan is what the Bible calls ‘SELF’. SELF is the nature that mankind inherited from Satan because of the fall in the Garden of Eden. Since the fall, SELF has ALWAYS sought to replace God in the heart of man. This SELF is at the foundation of EVERYTHING that man is, and man possesses – his mind, his intellect, his wisdom, his glory, his plans, his purpose, his possessions, his accomplishments, his enjoyment, his relationships, his standing in the society, and so on. In the way it operates, SELF functions as Satan’s remote control in the heart of a man. That is, if Satan wants a man to do anything, or to possess anything, he comes to that man (and also controls that man) through SELF. It is for this reason that Jesus presents DENYING SELF as the very first step in following Him. This is recorded for us in Luke 9:23, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himSELF….” We must never forget this: SELF and Christ can never, ever dwell in the same heart! Thus, until a man DENIES SELF, he cannot take up his cross daily to follow Jesus, as God demands. Now, here is a bizarre fact of life. Generally speaking, man does not really want to deny SELF! This is because too much is at stake. For example, to deny SELF is to LOSE YOUR IDENTITY IN THE WORLD. To become a nonentity as far as the world is concerned. Of course, nobody wants to be seen as a nonentity in the world! This is why man wants to desperately cling to SELF - even when a part of him may strongly desire to follow Jesus. As mentioned earlier, this is completely impossible. This is the grim lesson that the Bible teaches us through the story of the rich, young ruler in Mark 10:17-23. The man loved Jesus dearly, even running in the street to catch up with Him. And verse 21 of this passage records that Jesus loved him too. But, neither the love of the man for Jesus, nor the love of Jesus for the man, could alter the impossibility of having Jesus and SELF in the same heart. The man left in sorrow. That’s the power of SELF! In the end-time that we live in today, the danger posed to mankind by SELF becomes even more complex. And dangerous. Writing about the end-time, Paul, the Apostle, wrote: “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be LOVERS OF SELF…. (2 Tim 3:1-2). What this means is clear. It means in the end-time, man will INEXPLICABLY find it much more difficult to RESIST SELF! Man would just instinctively LOVE SELF, OBEY SELF, and FOLLOW SELF. This is how Satan’s ability to control mankind will reach its peak in the end-time that we live in today. This ugly, sad reality does NOT exclude the church of today!!! In fact, the prophecy quoted above was written in the context of the church generally. To confirm this prophecy that was written over 2,000 years ago, we only need to look at how CARNALITY is thriving in the church of today! This is not the only prophecy that fore-shadowed the sorry state of the church in the end-time. Here is a direct prophecy from the Lord Himself, “And because iniquity shall abound, THE LOVE OF MANY shall wax cold.” (Matt 24:12) Paul also prophesied ‘A FALLING AWAY’ from Christ in the end-time (2 Thess 2:3). And, of course, Jesus made it clear that when He returns, He’d BARELY find faith on earth! (Luke 18:8). Apart from these dire warnings about the state of the church in the end-time, any believer that has a bit of discernment knows very, very clearly that SELF is ruling the church of today! Not Jesus Christ. Without any shame, the false teachers of today (usually called ‘men of God’) openly use SELF to attract and keep men in what they call ‘churches’. Have you not observed that the BIGGEST and RICHEST churches today are those that appeal most passionately to the SELF element in man? They attract men with the promise of wealth. With the promise of prominence in the world. Greatness in the world. Happiness in the world. Peace in the world. Satisfaction in the world. And so on. One thing you’ll barely EVER hear them preach PASSIONATELY is the message of The Cross!!! This is because, to preach The Cross, you have to, first of all, preach that men should DENY SELF. Clearly, preaching the denial of SELF in this AGE OF SELF will be very, very bad for church business! As church business today ranks highly among the fastest-growing industries in the world. In contrast, please see how the Apostles of Christ were radically challenging their hearers with the message of The Cross, as they took the Gospel of Christ from church to church, and from nation to nation. “But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been CRUCIFIED TO ME, AND I TO THE WORLD.” (Gal 6:14). Also, please see – Acts 14:22, 1 Cor 1:18, 2:1, Phil 3:18, Gal 2:20, etc. This is because the apostles of old knew that unless believers are made conformable to the death of Christ by God through The Cross, the life of Christ can neither TRULY manifest nor grow in such believers. Never! In these days, the failure to consistently preach The Cross is responsible for the lukewarm and blind state of the church of today. Do you remember the testimony of the lukewarm church in Laodicea, in Revelation 3:14-22? Here’s verse 17, “For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing….” SELF! SELF!! SELF!!! Today, would MOST of our churches not rejoice and dance heartily at such a wonderful ‘testimony’? But, Jesus, seeing beyond the façade of the glitter of that church pronounced them, “… wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked”. Words that aptly describe the church of today! For the experience of the church in Laodicea was recorded as a cryptic warning for the end-time church. Friends, as prophesied, this is where we are today - even as the second coming of Jesus approaches rapidly. The situation will definitely NOT improve! Certainly not in these days that Satan has captured the hearts and destiny of mankind by constraining men to be ‘LOVERS OF SELF’. Again, this is WHY Jesus will barely find faith on earth when He returns (Luke 18:8). For the raging OCEAN OF SELF would have swept MOST believers away. Into perdition. This is why the few believers that will survive this end-time onslaught of Satan would have to live RADICALLY AWAY from what men call Christianity today. Away from what they call ‘church’. Away from their doctrines. Away from their lifestyles. Such believers would have to cultivate the grace to hear DIRECTLY from God in this end-time. To hear, as Jesus knocks quietly on the door of their hearts for DIRECT personal fellowship with Him. This is what Jesus meant by “… I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” in Revelation 3:20. Only a handful will hear that gentle knock. Of that number, only a very few will actually open to Him. And, that’s because THE CROSS (along with its suffering and shame) await ALL believers that dare to separate themselves and open the door for Christ in these dark days. May you and I be counted among those FAITHFUL FEW. Amen. Thanks for reading, God bless you. #JustAskGod# #HeThatHasAnEar#

THE FORMATION OF A BLOOD CLOT (THROMBUS) IN THE HEART: 1. Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat that can cause the blood to pool and form clots in the left atrium. 2. Thrombus Formation: When the blood pools, it can form a blood clot (thrombus) that can grow and become dislodged. THE JOURNEY OF THE EMBOLUS (CLOT) TO THE BRAIN 🧠. 1. Dislodgement of the Thrombus: When the thrombus becomes dislodged, it can travel through the bloodstream as an embolus. 2. Travel Through the Aorta: The embolus travels through the aorta, the largest artery in the body. 3. Branching Off to the Common Carotid Artery: The embolus branches off from the aorta into the common carotid artery. 4. Traveling Up the Internal Carotid Artery: The embolus continues to travel up the internal carotid artery, which supplies blood to the brain. THE BLOCKAGE OF BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN 🧠. 1. Blockage of the Internal Carotid Artery: When the embolus reaches a narrow point in the internal carotid artery, it can become lodged and block the flow of blood to the brain. 2. Ischemia and Infarction: The blockage of blood flow can cause ischemia (lack of oxygen) and infarction (death of tissue) in the affected portion of the brain. CONSEQUENCES OF A BLOCKAGE IN THE BRAIN 🧠. 1. Stroke: The blockage of blood flow to the brain can cause a stroke, which can lead to a range of symptoms including weakness, numbness, and difficulty with speech and vision. 2. Brain Damage: The lack of oxygen and nutrients to the brain can cause permanent damage, leading to long-term disability and even death. PREVENTION AND TREATMENT. 1. Preventing Atrial Fibrillation: Managing conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea can help prevent atrial fibrillation. 2. Anticoagulation Therapy: Medications like warfarin and aspirin can help prevent the formation of blood clots. 3. Thrombectomy: A surgical procedure that involves removing the clot from the blood vessel. 4. Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA): A medication that can help dissolve the clot and restore blood flow to the brain. Health is wealth PRIORITIZE it.

‘Fubara is 2-0 Down, More to Come’ – Wike Declares In Rivers State Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said Governor Siminalayi Fubara will suffer more setbacks amid the ongoing political crisis in the state. Wike made the statement in Abalama, Asari-Toru Local Government Area, during a Thanksgiving Service and Civic Reception held in his honour. His visit took place despite resistance from the community’s monarch and residents, who opposed the event due to rising political tensions in the state. Earlier in the day, protests erupted in the area as demonstrators blocked roads and carried placards rejecting Wike’s presence. Videos shared on social media showed residents, including women and youths, voicing their opposition and demanding that the former governor stay away. The protesters pointed to Wike’s past remark that the Kalabari people are a minority in the state as one of the reasons for their resentment. The Amayanabo of Abalama, King Dr. A. B. Big Tom Tom JP, had officially distanced the community from the event. In a letter dated March 12, 2025, addressed to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, he expressed shock at learning about the program through social media and cited security concerns as the reason for rejecting it. Amid the ongoing political crisis, the Supreme Court recently halted federal allocations to Rivers State until Governor Fubara presents the 2025 budget to the state House of Assembly, which is led by Wike’s ally, Martins Amaewhule. The Assembly, which Fubara has struggled to gain control over, adjourned plenary indefinitely last Friday, preventing him from presenting the budget. Addressing the situation, Wike mocked Fubara’s leadership and blamed his advisers for his political troubles. “You (Fubara) surrounded yourself with people who wanted to be governor, whom I said ‘no, these people don’t mean well for Rivers State.’ They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice. Do you think you will succeed? They will give bad advice, and look at what bad advice is doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come,” Wike said.

Addressing the situation, Wike mocked Fubara’s leadership and blamed his advisers for his political troubles. “You (Fubara) surrounded yourself with people who wanted to be governor, whom I said ‘no, these people don’t mean well for Rivers State.’ They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice. Do you think you will succeed? They will give bad advice, and look at what bad advice is doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come,” Wike said.

The Origin Of The Word ‘Ìyàwó’....Otherwise Known As "WIFE" In English It is unknown to many speakers of the Yorùbá language that the original Yorùbá word for wife is ‘aya’ and not the commonly used ‘Ìyàwó’. Back in the early years of the Yorùbá people, the word “ Iyawo “did not have a place in the Yorùbá language not until an incident brought about its coinage and usage. Old Nigeria present you the origin of the Yorùbá word Ìyàwó . Origin of the Yorùbá word Ìyàwó: Long ago in Yorùbá land, a beautiful princess and daughter of the first king of Iwó town named Wúràọlá was in the quest of getting herself a patient, tolerant and well mannered husband. Strong and good looking men, the likes of Sàngó, Ògún and others, had already traveled to Iwó town to seek the hand of Wúràọlá in marriage but left not with a wife but uncontrollable anger. Wúràọlá had been rude to everyone of them. In fact, she hurled insults and curses at her suitors which made them all leave on the same day they arrived the town of Iwo because they couldn’t tolerate her bad behaviors. Ọ̀rúnmìlà, a good looking man, also journeyed to Iwó in the bid to win the hand of Wúràọlá in marriage. But before he set out, he had already consulted Olódùmarè , the supreme being, through Ifá . Olódùmarè revealed to Òrúnmìlà that he must be patient with Wúràọlá and endure her behaviors no matter how bad they are in order to succeed in the quest of marrying Wúràọlá . When Òrúnmìlà got to the palace of the king of Iwó, he was greeted with a hiss and scornful look by Wúràọlá. The unperturbed Òrúnmìlà smiled and returned her greetings with kind and sweet words and also presented gifts to the king. Òrúnmìlà stayed in Iwó for seven days which can be described as nothing but a hell on earth. Wúràọlá didn’t serve Òrúnmìlà water let alone food. She insulted the goodness out of Òrúnmìlà but he stayed calm and smiled at her. He even smiled when she used his opon ifa (divination board) as firewood and when she took his pouch (àpò ominijekun) from him. Though, Òrúnmìlà boiled with rage, still, he didn’t show it or leave Iwo according to the instructions of Olódùmarè . On the sixth day of Òrúnmìlà's stay in Iwó town, the king of Iwó gave Wúràọlá in marriage to him after concluding that he is a patient, kind and tolerant man suitable to marry his daughter. Meanwhile, Wúràọlá's bad behaviors were planned to test her suitors so as to get her a husband with good manners and temper. She was a lovely, caring and well behaved lady. Òrúnmìlà was glad that he heeded to the instructions of Olódùmarè and on the seventh day, he and Wúràọlá journey back to his town. Òrúnmìlà was welcomed and praised by his townspeople for his achievement. When they asked him about Wuraola, his wife, he responded, “Ìyà tí mo jẹ ní Iwó” (my sufferings in Iwó town ) That was how wives became known as Ìyà-Iwó (sufferings in Iwó ) and now Ìyàwó . So men don't be afraid or surprise by what you experience daily, it started ages ago....!

Akpabio warns against uninformed commentaries on Senate affairs President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has cautioned critics against making uninformed comments on the affairs of the Upper Legislative Chamber, urging the public to understand parliamentary rules before engaging in debates. The Senate President issued the warning when he received a delegation from the Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders Forum in Abuja. His remarks followed the recent suspension of Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for violating Senate rules, a decision that Akpabio emphasised was unanimously supported by lawmakers. Expressing concern over the growing trend of uninformed commentaries on television and social media, Akpabio said, “People who have no understanding of Senate procedures are the ones running commentaries on matters they know nothing about. You should seek the facts before making public statements. We advise members of the public to stop misquoting the rules of the Senate.” He also criticised those outside the legislature for attempting to interpret Senate procedures, likening it to a herbalist trying to quote the Bible or someone unfamiliar with Islamic teachings attempting to interpret the Qur’an. Responding to concerns raised by Jonathan Lokpobiri Snr, leader of the delegation, Akpabio highlighted the historic significance of his role as Senate President, noting that the Niger Delta had last held the position 46 years ago. “The Senate President does not represent himself alone; he represents a region that is crucial to the economic survival of this country. So, we will not toy with this position, regardless of any opposition maneuvering,” he said. He dismissed attempts to undermine his leadership, attributing some criticisms to political mischief from people who, he claimed, lacked knowledge of Senate procedures. The delegation, led by Lokpobiri, also expressed concern over the political crisis in Rivers State, warning that if left unchecked, it could escalate and destabilise the entire Niger Delta region. They also sought Senate intervention on key regional projects, including the Coastal Road project; Maritime University in Oron, which is yet to commence operations as well as extending the Warri-Itakpe rail line to Abuja.

MISTAKE COUPLE OFTEN MAKE IN MARRIAGE. In marriage, couples often make mistakes that can lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, or tension in the relationship. Recognizing and learning from these common mistakes can help strengthen the bond between partners. Here are some mistakes many couples make in marriage: 1. Lack of Communication • Many couples struggle with open, honest communication. When partners don’t talk about their feelings, needs, or concerns, misunderstandings can arise, leading to frustration or resentment. 2. Taking Each Other for Granted • As time goes on, some couples may stop showing appreciation for each other, thinking that their partner “just knows” they are loved. Without regular acts of kindness and acknowledgment, a relationship can feel neglected. 3. Avoiding Conflict • Some couples try to avoid conflict altogether, fearing arguments will cause harm. However, not addressing issues can lead to built-up resentment. Healthy conflict resolution is key in any relationship. 4. Neglecting Intimacy • Physical affection and emotional intimacy are essential in marriage. Over time, couples can become too busy or complacent and neglect intimacy, which can weaken their connection. 5. Focusing Too Much on the Negative • Couples can get caught up in focusing on each other’s flaws or the problems in the relationship, leading to a cycle of negativity. It’s important to also celebrate the good moments and qualities in each other. 6. Not Prioritizing Each Other • Life can get busy with work, children, and other responsibilities, but it’s essential to prioritize time for each other. When couples put everything else before their relationship, it can lead to distance and feelings of neglect. 7. Unrealistic Expectations • Sometimes one partner expects the other to fulfill all their emotional and personal needs, which is an unrealistic burden. No one person can meet every need, and it’s important to maintain individual interests, friendships, and activities. 8. Financial Mismanagement • Disagreements about money are common. Whether it’s spending habits or saving, financial issues can cause stress in a marriage. Lack of transparency or poor financial communication can lead to tension and conflict. 9. Not Respecting Boundaries • Every individual has personal boundaries, and not respecting these can lead to feelings of violation or resentment. It’s important to respect your partner’s boundaries, both emotional and physical. 10. Letting External Influences Affect the Relationship • External pressures, like family members or friends, can sometimes interfere with a couple’s dynamic. While outside support can be helpful, relying too much on others or letting them have too much influence can strain the marriage. 11. Not Seeking Help When Needed • Many couples avoid seeking help from a therapist or counselor when they face challenges, thinking they can handle everything on their own. Seeking professional support can provide new perspectives and solutions to issues that may seem insurmountable. 12. Holding Grudges • If one partner holds onto past mistakes or wrongdoings, it can be difficult to move forward. Forgiveness is essential to healing and growth within a relationship. 13. Being Inflexible • Marriage involves compromise and adaptability. Being too rigid in your expectations or beliefs can cause friction. Being willing to listen and adapt to each other’s needs is important for long-term harmony. 14. Lack of Teamwork • Marriage is a partnership, and sometimes one partner may feel like they are carrying more of the weight, whether it’s in household chores, decision-making, or emotional labor. Equal effort and teamwork are necessary for a balanced relationship. 15. Comparing the Relationship to Others • Comparing your marriage to others, whether it’s through social media or real-life couples, can lead to dissatisfaction. Every marriage is unique, and it’s important to focus on your own relationship rather than external expectations. 16. Ignoring Personal Growth • Sometimes, couples grow in different directions and forget to nurture their individual identities. Personal growth and self-care are crucial to maintaining a healthy relationship, as it allows both partners to contribute positively to the marriage. By recognizing and avoiding these common mistakes, couples can build a stronger, more fulfilling partnership. It’s important to remember that no marriage is perfect, but consistent effort, mutual respect, and love can make it a lasting and meaningful bond.

The “Dead Horse Theory” is a satirical metaphor that illustrates how some individuals, institutions, or nations handle obvious, unsolvable problems. Instead of accepting reality, they cling to justifying their actions. The core idea is simple: if you realize you’re riding a dead horse, the most sensible thing to do is dismount and move on. However, in practice, the opposite often happens. Instead of abandoning the dead horse, people take actions such as: • Buying a new saddle for the horse. • Improving the horse’s diet, despite it being dead. • Changing the rider instead of addressing the real problem. • Firing the horse caretaker and hiring someone new, hoping for a different outcome. • Holding meetings to discuss ways to increase the dead horse’s speed. • Creating committees or task forces to analyze the dead horse problem from every angle. These groups work for months, compile reports, and ultimately conclude the obvious: the horse is dead. • Justifying efforts by comparing the horse to other similarly dead horses, concluding that the issue was a lack of training. • Proposing training programs for the horse, which means increasing the budget. • Redefining the concept of “dead” to convince themselves the horse still has potential. The Lesson: This theory highlights how many people and organizations prefer to deny reality, wasting time, resources, and effort on ineffective solutions instead of acknowledging the problem from the start and making smarter, more effective decisions. What are your thoughts about this theory?
