THIS IS SCARY!!! I know this is long but it makes an interesting read. I do not believe in juju and all the crap, but when someone I respect say things like his article below, I will rearrange my sitting position. *Rituals, Blood, And Death – The Spiritual Side Of Aso Rock [MUST READ]--Reuben Abati:--* By Reuben Abati - October 14, 2016. People tend to be alarmed when the Nigerian Presidency – Aso Rock – takes certain decisions. They don’t think the decision makes sense. Sometimes, they wonder if something has not gone wrong with the thinking process at that highest level of the country. I have heard people insist that there is some form of witchcraft at work in the country’s seat of government. I am ordinarily not a superstitious person, but working in the Villa, I eventually became convinced that there must be something supernatural about power and closeness to it. I’ll start with a personal testimony. I was given an apartment to live in inside the Villa. It was furnish

6 ways to make money while you sleep Is your money making money while you sleep?  Since we still live in the age of the interest, it’s not that difficult to earn extra money on the side. Do you remember in the past we were warned to be careful about being in debt because interest never stopped charging us, interest never slept, never took a day off, never took a holiday. Well the reverse is true, as well. That said, here are 6 ways that you can earn money while you sleep. 1. Start a blog. Perhaps the most popular way to earn a passive income is by launching your own blog. It only takes a couple of minutes to setup and is cheap to start - just purchase your domain name and pay for hosting. After that, start creating amazing content that people would be interested in reading or sharing. For example, if you’re an accountant that has helped small business owners with their taxes, then that could be your blog.This draws thousands of signups a month. Once y

SO YAHOO WAS HACKED IN 2014! Yahoo has confirmed that hackers have stolen the personal information of at least 500 million of its accounts accounts over the past two years after a security breach in 2014. “A recent investigation by Yahoo has confirmed that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from the company’s network in late 2014 by what it believes is a state-sponsored actor,” said Bob Lors Yahoo’s CISO. “The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. “The ongoing investigation suggests that stolen information did not include unprotected passwords, payment card data, or bank account information; payment card data and bank account information are not stored in the system that the investigation has found to be affected.” So far Yahoo said its investigation does no

Have you ever heard the story about the scorpion who asked the frog to carry him across the river because he couldn’t swim. ‘I’m afraid you’ll sting me,’ replied the frog. The scorpion smiled reassuringly and said, ‘Of course I won’t. If I did that we’d both drown!’ So the frog agreed, and the scorpion hopped on his back. Wouldn’t you know it: halfway across the river the scorpion stung him! As they began to sink the frog lamented, ‘You promised you wouldn’t sting me. Why’d you do it?’ The scorpion replied, ‘I can’t help it. It’s my nature!’ Until God changes the other person’s nature, they have the power to affect and infect you. For example, when yo

Don't Be A Gossip "A tale bearer reveals secrets"     Proverbs 11:13                                                                    When you gossip you’re like a loose cannon.  Stop and try to imagine that. When a cannon is anchored and aimed in the right direction it can win the battle. But when it’s not it can destroy everything in its path. And that’s what gossip does: ‘A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.’ The word ‘talebearer’ comes from the Hebrew word rakal, which means ‘to go about’; it’s likely derived from an old word meaning ‘merchant’. So a talebearer is someone who goes around peddling gossip! The story is told of a mother who was preparing dinner one evening when her little boy came running into the kitchen. ‘What has Mama’s little darling been doing all day?’ she asked. ‘I’ve been playing postman,’ he replied. ‘Postman?’ the mother wondered aloud. ‘How could you do that when you’ve no let
Knowing What Not to Say ‘A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back.’ Proverbs 29:11 Yes i know i might not really be the best in this field but i am oblige to share this piece and i think you will have one or two insight into building a healthy relationship. Honesty and good communication are the foundation stones for a healthy relationship. This is particularly so in marriage. But any good idea can be misused. For example, it’s honest to tell your spouse that you don’t like the way they cook. It’s honest for you to express anger over your spouse’s shortcomings. But honesty that does not have the best interest of the other person at heart is cruel, and a form of selfishness.  This is especially so when the other person can’t do anything about it. Some couples, in their determination to share every thought and opinion, destroy the sweet spark of romance that drew them together. No longer is there any sense of magic. They’ve unravelled the romanti
START NOW! An intelligent person aims at wise action … a fool starts off in many directions.’ Proverbs 17:24  Successful people have one thing in common: they’ve developed the habit of doing what unsuccessful people aren’t willing to do. We all want more money, but we don’t all want more work. We’d all like to be slim and trim, but we’re not all willing to eat properly and exercise daily. The bookends of success are commitment and consistency. Without commitment you’ll never start, and without consistency you’ll never finish. Getting started is the hardest part, because we come up with so many reasons not to. So: 1) Start small. Take the first step. You can’t take step two until you’ve taken step one. Taking the first step to prioritise your life will focus you in the right direction. But don’t expect to immediately understand all that’s required. ‘By faith Abraham … went out, not knowing’ (Hebrews 11:8 KJV). God guides you when you’re in motion, so ‘you’ll know as
4 Reasons Why You'll Never Be a Millionaire, and How You Can Change That   Relaxing vacations on the French Riviera, huge donations to your favorite charity and an early retirement. These are the kinds of things people think of when they hear the word “millionaire.” It’s unlikely you’ll ever experience that. Sorry. Unless, of course, you can overcome the following four roadblocks stopping you from achieving millionaire status. Each roadblock below also offers an “immediate action step” to help you overcome the things holding you back. Let’s get started. 1. You don’t understand how money works. Money is not a complicated topic, but still, few seem to really understand how it works. Do you? Sure, you can blame the school system or your parents, but the responsibility is still on you to figure out how money is made, how it is held, how it is invested and how it is preserved. Millionaires understand that money is not something that is discovered, won, or created b
20 Life-Changing Money Lessons You Learn in Your 30s Now that you're in your 30s, you've probably learned from all of the past money mistakes you made in your 20s and teenage years. But the lessons don't stop there. Your 30s will bring a host of new money challenges and reality checks when it comes to your finances. 1. You really do need an emergency fund. Sometimes, it seems that that older you become, the more expensive your problems are. Creating an emergency fund with $1,000 is a great start, but now that you are in your 30s, you shouldn’t stop there. Plan for the worst-case scenarios, like a job loss or unexpected medical expenses, and put more money into your emergency fund. 2. You should keep applying for jobs. According to Business Insider, you should be interviewing two to three times a year — even if you love your current position. This allows you to stay on top of what is available in your career field, as well as how much you are wor
MY PEOPLE PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE   Robbers enter a house, asks for all the money and valuables. After they collect what they can, they give the man of the house a gun with instructions to shoot his wife or else he be shot himself. The man gets the gun, points it at his wife and hesitates. He is thinking of what he has gone through in life with his wife and how she has suffered and sacrificed for him. He hands back the gun and says, “I am sorry I can’t do this… “The boss of the robbers silently grabs the gun from him and passes it on to the wife with the same instruction. The wife gets the gun and without any single hesitation points to her husband’s head and pulls the trigger. But alas, the gun had no bullets in it. The robbers get their gun and walk out of the house laughing. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION 1. If you were the man in that house how would you react towards your wife? 2. If you were the wife, what explanation can you giv
 ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET 7 Reasons Why Your Salaried Job Is Like Crack Cocaine    From time to time I work with individuals who are perfectly positioned to become business owners. They have lots of money, no debt, great skill sets, likable personalities and a true desire to break out of the employee mentality. However, at the end of the coaching process, some still decide to return to their jobs. And, of course, for anyone who is a business owner, this is exceptionally hard to understand. Why would anyone spend his or her life preparing for freedom, yet once that opportunity arose, return to a salaried job? There is only one reason that I can think of: Salaried jobs are like crack cocaine. Okay, I may sound like I'm a bit off my rocker, but stay with me. What is it like to be addicted to a drug like crack cocaine? Recently, when I read about drug addiction and discussed it with a drug-counselor friend, I learned a few things. And here's my bottom li
Warren Buffett: Your business will succeed if you execute this 3-word mission Warren Buffett told a group of small business owners that they should strive to 'delight' their customers. Warren Buffett (Image: AP) Legendary investor Warren Buffett, the founder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, shared his best business advice with a group of small business owners. Speaking at the 20th Graduation of Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Small Businesses at LaGuardia Community College, Buffett told the graduates: “Tomorrow morning when you look in the mirror after you’ve gotten up, just write — or just put it in lipstick or whatever you want — ‘delight my customer' not 'satisfy my customer.’ ‘Delight my customer.’” It's a simple three-word mission. He continued: “Any business that has delighted customers has a salesforce out there that you don’t have to pay. You don’t see them, but they are talking t

According to SR, governors of the South-South region who met with VP Osinbajo at the  State House yesterday, called for a majority of the corruption cases in the region to be dropped by the EFCC.

Oshiomole and the deputy Gov of Cross River opposed the others, who singled out the FG's anti corruption initiative as the reason why Niger Delta Avengers are blowing up pipelines..
