11 Things To Avoid To Become Successful

1. Never wake up early. Keep stretching and turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing. If there are no bed bugs, why hurry to get up?

2. Never plan how to spend your money. Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it's finished, you try to count and recall how you spent it.

3. Don't think of saving until you have really big money. How can you save when you earn so little? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your burning needs.

4. Don't engage in activities usually reserved for the "uneducated". How can you, a graduate, engage in petty trade, network marketing or home-based production? That's for people who never went to school!Don't think of starting a business until an Angel comes from Heaven and gives you capital. How do they expect you to invest before you get millions? Even though more than half the businesses in your town were started with little capital, you as a smart person can only start with millions.

5. Complain about everything except your own attitude and laziness. Blame the system, the government, and the banks that refused to lend you money. They are all bad and do not want you to get rich.

6. Spend more than you earn. To achieve this, buy consumer products on credit and keep borrowing from friends and employers.

7. Compete in dressing. Make sure you're wearing the latest clothes. Intimidate the congregation with your trendy fashions every day. Whenever your neighbor buys a new phone, you get one that is more expensive.

8. Get yourself a nice second-hand car that costs more than three times your yearly salary.

9. Give your children everything they ask for since you're such a loving parent. They should not struggle for anything because you do not want them to suffer that way, they will grow up lazy and hence poor enough to ensure they can't help you at old age.

10. Devote your time, energy and resources to watching football especially Premier League, Champions League, and La Liga. Keep up with all matches, fixtures, and transfers. Ensure you adequately argue your points among friends for hours after each game. After all, one day Messi and Ronaldo will remember you and send you some percentages of their income.

11. Stay on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Instagram all day to post, comment or watch videos. Engage in discussions that add no value to your life just to be seen that you are current and up-to-date. Be hopeful that one day a benevolent spirit will come down to bless you.

UPDATE: Tolulope Received A Strange Call Shortly Before Her Death

Precisely on July 14th 2020 the news of the sad death of our heroine the first female helicopter combat pilot, Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile, was announced.The supposedly cause of her death was also narrated. However, the Arotiles are not convinced about the narratives churn out as the cause of her death. They have therefore asked the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to carry out a thorough investigation to ascertain the real cause of her death. Many Nigerians and Investigative journalists like Kemi Olunloyo amongst others added their voice and called on NAF to do the needful by investigating Tolulope's death. The clamour for an investigation is a sign that Nigerians are suspecting foul play. Some even retorted that how can a reversing car kill her is it in top speed? While another said that probably the cabals sponsoring the criminal bandits are not happy with her because she successfully over powered the bandits with her combat helicopter in Kastina.

It was however gathered that two persons have been attested by NAF, who are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Tolulope.NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, stated that at the end of the investigation, whatever information that needs to go out will go out. He further explained that the two boys are in custody and NAF will do a thorough investigation into the matter.There are isinuations that her death may have been premeditated, according to a report that the senior sister of Tolu actually dropped her off at the spot where she was assumed to have been knocked down. Earlier before driving Tolu to the spot, Tolu received a strange call from a superior officer requesting her to come over to the NAF base . According to the sister Tolu was very reluctant to honour the invitation, but persuaded her and decided to drop her at the NAF base .

According to the NAF spoke person he said whatever needs to be known will be made known and that it is the standard practice. He promise to investigate the circumstances leading to her death by a road traffic accident. It is an investigation because it may go beyond NAF he concluded.

Please kindly share your views and comment.

All Progressive Congress : 2023 And Beyond.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) may fail woefully come 2023 General Election in Nigeria, going by the number of crisis bedevilling the party both at the Federal and State levels.Today a court suspends the national chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as a climax of the series of in fighting between Oshiomhole and his party faithfuls in recent times.

First and foremost is the feud between the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and the Incumbent Governor of his home state Edo Gabriel Obaseki. If not nipped in the bud quickly APC mighty lose Edo State to People's Democratic party (PDP) in the next gubernatorial election. The APC Governors forum sometime ago called for his resignation. He bluntly refused.

Again as a result of the fall out from the Bayelsa State gubernatorial election at the Supreme court recently where APC lost to PDP at the Apex court the blame has been heaped at the foot of the Party National Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. It was believed that the party secretariat did not carry out proper documentation prior to the gubernatorial primaries.Today the party again lost the governorship seat to PDP.

Fillers coming in from the Presidency shows that the crack in Aso Rock is yet to abate between the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno and the Chief of Staff Abba Kyari as President Mohammad Buhari has given Babagana Monguno a new appointment as the co-chair of the Humanitarian and Rehabilitation Ministry. I guess the post of National Security Adviser will be taken away from him, without addressing the pertinent issues raised in Monguno's leaked memo.And the subsequent order by the Army Chief of Staff General Buratai of the sudden redeployment of army officers serving in the office of the National Security Adviser. One may want to ask why? Is the army chief taking sides?

In recent times the first lady Aisha Buhari had on several occasions protested that her husband is not in charge of the Government, that the governance had been hijacked by people who did not campaign for election with them. Remember the outbursts in the Presidential villa sometime ago by the First lady Aisha Buhari about the quit notice to one of the cabals and his daughters to vacate an apartment in the Villa solely reserved for the immediate family of the President and not for an acquaintance. Can you remember ? There was even a leaked video that went viral to back it up. Acquaintances are not directly related to the President should not be allocated any combo so close to the Presidential family wing.

Nigerians should seriously take another critical look at Babagana Monguno's leaked memo to the President and file it away somewhere for safe keeping. We may need to refer to it in the near future.

Another issue is the party's meddlesomeness in the Judiciary, first the former Chief Judge of the Federation Onoghen was removed unceremoniously by the President and replaced by a Sharia court Judge Tanko. Ever since then the Judiciary has been hijacked and in a topsy turvy situation, especially the Supreme Court, the Apex court is so confused that it has gone from one review of judgements to reversal of judgement ever since.

The incessant calls by well-meaning Nigerians for the immediate retirement of the military service chiefs and the response of the Secretary to the Federal Government saying that is not the solution to our state of insecurity , may I ask Boss Mustapha what is the real solution? The resurgence of Boko Haram that had so to say "technically been defeated" are still rampaging and are occupying about 6 local government areas in Northeast of the country. The so called service chiefs are surely milking our resources through these fathom fight against the so called insurgents.

What about the Fulani Herdsmen, whom the military always escort and protect while attacking innocent citizens. If you are in doubt ask the Governors of Benue State, Ortom and Delta State, Okowa.

APC is like a time bomb waiting to explode.

Rochas And His Antics

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE

CABINET OFFICE OWERRI

PRESS RELEASE

CHIEF ETHELBERT OKOROCHA HAS TURNED HIMSELF INTO A PUBLIC NUISANCE SUFFERING FROM WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME.

-Rants Like a Baby Whose Mouth Was Forcefully Withdrawn From The Mother's Breast.

The attention of the Secretary to the Government of Imo State, Hon. Barr. Uche Onyeagucha has been drawn to the most puerile and leprous comments recently made by Chief Ethelbert Okorocha in a Radio Programme at Reach FM,  Owerri,  wherein he denigrated and blackened the Secretary to the Imo State Government accusing him of breaking into his guest house and took away all his properties and documents.

Also, in a most disgraceful manner and like a drunken dreamer, Chief Ethelbert Okorocha in a bid to incite the people against the present government ended up in making fool of himself and turning himself into a public nuisance. Instead of hiding his ugly face in shame and apologizing to Imolites for raping and pillaging the State resources with grass impunity, he was unleashing all manner of lexical volleys on the present administration and on a man he is not worthy and qualified to lace his shoes. He forgot that such sterile scurrility is no longer fashionable to the people of the state. A responsible Political office Holder should know his limits and comports himself with a modicum of respect and decency.

Going by his recent crocodile outburst and infantile ranting, it is now a testamentary fact that Chief Okorocha has indeed turned himself into a public nuisance. It is unfortunate that the only media platform he can use to disparage the present administration is her daughter's Radio Station which was built on State Government's Land with State Fund. Chief Okorocha needs to be reminded that very soon, Government will recover the station because it was built on Government's land with Government fund.

The crystal truth is that in all ramifications, Chief Ethelbert Okorocha has no moral justification to denigrate the present administration which has within two months and three weeks set a verifiable development standard in the State which his inhuman administration could not do throughout his vanishing eight years tenure in the State. Imolites will always remain grateful to God for delivering the State from the hand of a functional buccaneer like Chief Okorocha who has now lost his sense of discernment and rants like a baby whose mouth was forcefully withdrawn from the Mother's breast. Therefore,  no responsible Government can condescend so low by joining issues with Chief Okorocha who is now in need of urgent psychiatric attention. The truth remains that when a sane person pursues an insane man people in the vicinity will equally consider the sane person as a mad man. In a civilized society, Chief Okorocha would have been ostracized for the colossal and devastating damages he caused in the State and also for the evils he committed against the people of the State.

Indeed, this present administration cannot be distracted by Chief Okorocha's intellectually bankrupt vituperations which depict his Vacuity. This present administration is committed in the task of rebuilding the State from ruinations and cannot be distracted by the infantile outburst of a rejected, frustrated and dejected man like Chief Okorocha who is now suffering from withdrawal syndrome. Instead of making mockery of himself, he should concentrate and face his EFCC case.

Special Assistant (Media) to the
Secretary to the Government of IMO State.

For President Buhari the fight against corruption begins at home.

The release of the portrait of the first lady Aisha Buhari the other day generated alot of controversy when she dorn a wrist watch purportedly to have cost a whooping ten million  naira #10,453,000.Going by the modest kind of life APC and Buhari are preaching
One would expect the first lady to equally be modest and not living an ostentatious life.

Members of the ongoing National Conference holding in Abuja yesterday July 3rd while deliberating on the report of the committee on political restructuring and forms of Government in Nigeria, endorsed the creation of 18 new states to add to the existing 36 states. They also endorsed the rotation of the Presidency between the North and South and other Geo-political zones in the country.

The members suggested the creation of a state for the South-East geopolitical zone which has only 5 states in order to bring the number to 6 which is the number of states of other zones, apart from the North -West, which has seven. Continue...


Some of the proposed states approved by the Confab are Apa from Benue State, Kainji from Kebbi, Katagum from Bauchi, Savannah from Borno, Amana from Adamawa, Gurara from Kaduna, Ghari from Kano, Etiti from South East, Aba from Abia, Adada from Enugu, Njaba-Anim from Anambra and Imo,  Anioma from Delta State, Orashi from Rivers State, Ogoja from Cross River State, IJebu from Ogun State and New Oyo State from the present Oyo State.

The Conference is to later determine the names of the remaining two other states and their capitals, which are to be created in the South-South and South West zones. If approved by the Presidency, the number of states in the Country would now be 54.

The conference members also voted for the rotation of the Presidency between the North and South and also between the geo-political zones. They also voted against the immediate swearing-in of a Vice President into the office of the President should a sitting President die in office or be impeached.

They proposed that a Vice President should be sworn in as Acting President for 90days within which a fresh election for a new President should be held. 

The delegates also agreed that the old national anthem, “Nigeria we hail thee…” should be replaced with the current one.
