HIGH HOPES AS EDDEN-REX ABARAH LAUNCHES BREASTFEED SUCCESS FORUM, COMMENCES ACTIVITIES, DECLARES DEDICATION TO YOUTH DEVELOPMENT.

The importance of mind transformation and redirecting our youths to the right path can not be overlooked. It is needless to say that we have many failed youths because they lack directions. Hence, many Non-Governmental Organizations in Nigeria have as one of it's major purposes the redirection of youths to the right path.

One such organization is the BREASTFEED SUCCESS FORUM. This organization has identified that just as a child needs the breast milk of a mother to grow which invariably is the most important meal of a newly born child, so also does the teeming young ones in our society need first and basic information and ideas to nurture their dreams and potentials. Failure of which is responsible for lots of failed youths.

Whatever a child gets to know and understand at an early age sticks to him or her and it will be very difficult to change that understanding. The same thing goes for our teeming youths, if they must attain their highest potentials, they must be furnished with the right and fundamental information; and this is what the Breastfeed Success Forum intends to provide.

The maiden event which took place on the 1st of February, 2020 was held at the Coscharis Room of the prestigious University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus. The event saw the gathering of over 500 undergraduates who were predominantly first-year students.

Also present were student leaders from different spheres of life ranging from Academics, business, social life, politics, and spirituality.

Lots of school life experiences were shared by the student leaders on how they were able to balance academics with other activities and still made excellent results.

It was hours well spent drinking from the wealth of wisdom and experiences of the different student leaders. The participants were thrilled and inspired to launch into a successful life. In all, they were breastfeed with the rudiments for excelling.

The leader and host of the event, Edden-Rex Abarah disclosed that this is truly one of its kind and there will be more subsequent ones. He further said that the vision of the Breastfeed Success Forum goes beyond the four walls of the university but also stressed the need to start with the university - University of Nigeria, Nsukka Campus.

Indeed, with initiatives such as the BreastFeed Success Forum, our youths will be redirected and positioned for a successful life.

I recently watched a video on Facebook where the Founder of Air Peace Airplanes; Chief Barr Allen Onyema was narrating his success story in an event organized by Ubong King. He made a very salient point which was also emphasized by Ubong.

Allen said and I quote, "You have to study your environment, find out what they lack. When you are the first person to provide an answer, you become a billionaire."

"Go to your communities, go to your environment, look within your nation, do you see any problem that nobody has found an answer yet? If you can tackle that problem...If you are the first person to discover a solution to that problem, you are on your way to wealth", he added.

This is also the motivating factor behind the Genesis Story.

The Genesis group of companies was founded by Sir Nnaeto Orazulike in a bid to solve a problem in the society.

Meanwhile, Dr. Nnaeto Orazulike is also a member of the board of Fate Foundation as well as a non-executive director of Fidelity Bank Plc.

According to Nnaeto, as a young man in his early twentys doing very fine as a banker, he took a female friend out on a date but was disappointed that he could not find a fine-dining restaurant in Enugu where he resided as at that time that met his taste.

This was problem identification by experience. He was not satisfied with the quality of the restaurants around.Nnaeto also noted that he wasn't satisfied in his banking work; practicing the accountancy he studied.

He has an entrepreneurship drive which pushed him into doing something new and creative

So, he decided to provide Enugu with an upscale restaurant in the year, 1991. This was the same year he completed his NYSC services and got the banking job.

Nnaeto started Genesis restaurant and it was an instant success. It filled a gap and solved a need.

He further expanded it and today, the Genesis Group has been in existence for 25 years and is involved in Contract Catering, Hotels, Restaurants, Cinemas, Snack Production, Real Estate Development, and Oil and Gas Services.

It has its corporate Head Office, a magnificent structure, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

I would not want to start narrating how Genesis was a success. Although it also had its own turbulent times, but one thing is certain- 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙛𝙪𝙡.

Today, Nnaeto is not only a successful man but a very wealthy and fulfilled man.

There are many problems aching to be solved and people are ready to give whatever it takes in cash or in kind for these problems to be solved. You might be thinking that there are already a lot of people cum companies solving problems.Sure there are, but daily, people complain of one problem or the other. Many rural communities are saddled with lots of problems ranging from electricity to communication, among others.

These are pointers that the existing companies are not solving the problems well enough or perhaps their marketing is terrible. That means there are lots of markets available for you.

Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) solved a problem, Bill Gates (Microsoft) did the same, even Dangote (Dangote Group), Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson Motors), and all the wealthy people you hear their names.

The roadside mechanic solves a problem, that Carpenter does the same.

If we young ones would be wealthy, we must learn to listen to conversations around us and also our experiences especially during this lockdown and find out what people are complaining about. Write them down and come up with solutions. Pick the best one and get moving.

Nnaeto while being honored by the University of Port Harcourt in 2015,  admonished young persons to look at the brighter side of Nigeria and view it from a different perspective and be prepared to take the opportunities staring them in the face.

MEET THE MOST DANGEROUS BIRD THAT WEIGHS ALMOST THE SAME KG WITH ADULT HUMAN

BY IJEBOR SOLOMON

Are you curious to know which bird that could be, the most dangerous  in the world ?? then carefully read through the article below.

Records have shown over time, that,  some prehistorical human were victims of fatal bird attacks. It is also on  record  that those flying creatures can be really dangerous. The African crowned eagle and the golden eagle have both reportedly attacked humans. The ostrich and the emu can also be aggressive, and can kill with their strong kicks.

 However,  despite their dangerous attributes, the above named birds are still not regarded as the most dangerous birds in the world.

Then which bird is regarded as the most dangerous?  Can you guess what  bird it could be?  it is no other, than the  Cassowary bird.

 The Cassowary bird which can be found in the  tropical forests of New Guinea and Australia, is the third-tallest and second-heaviest living bird in the world.  Though  smaller than the ostrich and emu, the cassowary still stands 1.5-1.8 meters tall, weighing more than 50 kilograms, almost the size of an adult human. It has a long, sharp claw on each feet. The dagger-like claw can be over 12 centimeters in length, which makes it a powerful weapon in fights. Although,  the cassowary does not grow its claws to  attack or kill people. The claws, along with its strong feet and legs, enable it to move fast across the rainforest. The cassowary can run at a speed of 50 km/h through dense forests, jump up to 1.5 meters, and even swim in rivers and seas.

 Interestingly, the cassowary is usually timid, and very wary of humans. But if provoked, they can kick with their strong legs and the sharp claws can cause fatal wounds
 According to  a book written by an  ornithologist  in 1958: "There are many records of natives being killed by this bird." A 2003 historical study of 221 cassowary attacks showed that 150 had been against humans, including one death. The first documented human death caused by a cassowary was in 1926. The victim was a 16-year-old Australian boy, whose jugular vein was severed by the cassowary's claw. Infact, one of the  latest cases was in 2019, when a 75-year-old man was killed  by a  cassowary in Florida.
 Though the Cassawory birds are very dangerous and powerful, but They do not attack as long as they are not threatened.
 Some local villagers even keep the birds as pets or for their meat, allowing them to stay around their houses. Besides, the species plays an important role in the ecosystem. The cassowaries feed on rainforest plants and excrete seeds, which helps dispersal. Some rare plants even get a surprisingly higher germination rate for their seeds after passing through a cassowary's bowels.

I MADE KANU ANGRY: FABREGAS TELL'S CLUB LEGEND

BY SOLOMON IJEBOR:

Former Arsenal captain and midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, has revealed that he once made Kanu Nwankwo angry during their stay at the London club.

The 33 years old  midfielder, who now plays his football in the French league with Monaco, made this known during a live Instagram section with club legend, Thierry Henry.

The Spanish play maker, who joined Arsenal in 2003, disclosed that, while trying to impress the coach and the team in his first training section with the club, made a tackle on Kanu, which made the Nigerian to be very angry and upset with him.

  "When you are young, sometimes you dont think, you just want to go out  and prove yourself, with out realising that you are playing along side world cup winners. at that moment, you just want to do your best and most times the passion get the best out of you" he said.

It would be recall that both Kanu and Fabregas earlier played for Arsenal, before the Ex super Eagles star left for Portsmouth in 2004 after spending five years with the premier league club.

Fabregas on the other hand, went on to be a legend at Arsenal, with 304 appearances and netted 57 goals for the club, with92 assists.

RELEASE MY MANAGER: OWNER OF DEMOLISHED HOTEL TELLS RIVER'S GOVERNMENT.

BY SOLOMON IJEBOR:

The owner of  Prodest Hotel, that was demolished by the rivers state government, Promise Gogorobari, has expressed dissatisfaction over the trial of the manager of the hotel, Dr Bariledum Azoro.

Gogorobari, made this known in a statement he released in Port Harcourt on Monday.

According to Gogobari he said “My attention has been drawn to a criminal trial, prosecuted personally by the Honourable Attorney General of Rivers State against the manager of my hotel – Prodest Hotel and myself.

“This event is disturbing given that on Sunday, 10th May, 2020, Prodest Hotel building and the fitting and fixtures, as well as beverages and consumables, were alongside the building demolished by the Executive Governor of Rivers State on the allegation by some members’ of the State COVID-19 Task Force that Prodest Hotel was functional on 9th of May, 2020 thus violating the governor’s directive.

“We had taken management decision in line with the state directive that our staff should proceed on break until the lockdown was over and that was effective 6th May, 2020 and as such, it was impossible for my hotel to be functional on 9th of May, 2020.

“I am therefore concerned that after facing the punishment of demolition of the hotel, my manager is now constrained in facing the double jeopardy of another penal punishment. If His Excellency was aware of this judicial process, why was he in a haste to demolish the hotel?

“It is an offence that bail must be granted. Right now, my manager is being offered an opportunity for his freedom if only he admits committing a crime. The presiding magistrate has since Tuesday 12th May 2020 refused to rule on an application for bail for my manager.

“I am scared of how far this governor will go. I am scared for the life of my manager. I call on every Nigerian to do their best to prevail on the governor to operate within the laws of Nigeria and ensure that my manager is granted bail and has access to all materials necessary for his trial.

“The governor should not make a mockery of the Rivers State judicial system just to prove a bestial point. He should remember that we are all humans and allow his actions to be determined by his humanity. We may be at war with coronavirus. Nigerian citizens are not the enemy,” Gogorobari added.

When contacted for comment on the matter, the State Commissioner for Information and Communications in Rivers state Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, said he could not comment on a case that was already in court.

COACHES SELECT WEAKER PLAYERS OVER STRONGER ONE'S OSAZE TELLS MEDIA TEAM

BY SOLOMON IJEBOR:

Former super eagles international Osaze Odemwingie, has revealed that some former  coaches of the National team, were player managers.

The 38 years old star made this known in an interview with the  super eagles media team via  a live section on Instagram. 

According to Odemwingie, he said that some of the coaches, prefer to make  use of  weaker players over the stronger ones during matches, because they want to market the players.  In his words, "some of our coaches do get involved in a bit of player management, they had management companies. 

Shuaibu Amodu for instance, had a management company.

He also lamented over  being left out of 2013 Africa cup of Nations winning team, saying he would have reached out to the then coach of the team, late Stephen Keshi, to settle their rift.

Osaze made his super eagles debut in 2002, and went on to feature in four AFCON and two world cup tournaments, and was also part of the team that won silver, in 2008 Beijing Olympics.

With this revelation by Osaze Odemwingie, will it be safe to say that, the reason some of our national team some time under perform in some tournaments, was as a result of some weaker players that  were selected to be part of the team by some of these player managers? Well, your guess is as good as mine.?

REVEAL WHEREABOUTS OF CHINESE DOCTORS ,PDP TELLS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

BY SOLOMON IJEBOR

The people's democratic party, has given the federal government a 48 hour ultimatum to disclose the whereabout of the Chinese doctors that where brought into the country, to help contain the spread of corona virus.

This was sequel to the statement made by the minister of health, DR Osagie Ehanire that he cannot account for the whereabout of the Chinese Doctors, despite protest by the Nigeria Medical Association.

According to the PDP through it's National publicity secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan, on saturday, said that the statement by the minister, had heightened fears that the Chinese whose identity and activities had been shrouded in secrecy, might have been brought by some people for another purpose.

The statement read in part, "the party described a suspicious, creepy and weird that the minister of health, who had repeatedly assured Nigerians, that the Chinese where brought to render medical services and training and even went to receive them at the Nnamdi Azikwe international airport Abuja, on April 8,in an elaborately publicised event, can no longer account for the team"

It will be recalled that, the federal government of Nigeria, brought in some Chinese Doctors to help contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus, but since their arrival into the country, not much had been heard about their activities, or services.

The tears of an innocent woman

A barren woman

Would not be barren forever

Before you open that your  filthy mouth 

To insult that woman you once loved

Remember that you also have a mother 

That waited too 

Who knows if you the problem?

It is not her wish to be barren

God gives children not man

Don't let your anger 

Rise before the sun

Tame your mouth 

when you want to insult that woman

Speak to your hands 

When you are tempted to beat her

Think before you act

Love her 

Like the first day you met her

Care for her 

When she needs to be cared for

Encourage her when she is down

Pray with her when  it required

To the grandparents

We love you

And want you to see your grand children

But don't use the opportunity 

To maltreat that priceless jewels

Be you are urgently 

In need of a Grand child

Put yourself in the woman's condition

And remember how your parents

Also waited for you too

Don't misuse your role

Pray and be with them always. 

Very soon, you will carry your grandchild

Letter to all parents

Dear parents,

Pls admit that we are God's gift 

We are not slaves to you

Our lives are not tied to you

We could have chosen 

To be with another parent

But out of his compassion 

He gave you me

No one is perfect 

Not even you

Perfection does not happenin a day

We ought to make mistakes

And learn from them

When you were a child

Would you deny that you never made mistakes

Absolutely NO

So what's the purpose of getting mad at us

When we make mistakes.

Gone are the days 

When parents understand feelings

And know our strength and weakness

Most 21st century parents are good in criticising their wards

Instead of correcting them in love

We have treasures in us

Play your role in discovering them.

Don't be a chameleon.

White outside, black inside

Let us know exactly who you are

Stop the pretence

Who does it help?

Be responsible 

If you want us to be responsible

Be the perfect example 

We ought to follow

Do what is right

So that we can copy from you

And not from others

It all starts from you 

Even though holy book said it 

Train your child 

In the way he should GO

That he would depart from it

When he is old

Well, I ain't trying to blame parents

Neither am I saying they ain't trying 

In their efforts to raise us as godly children.

The Real truth is 

Parents need to wake up

Not to past or present 

But to realize that 

We own tommorow 

Yesterday was for the ancestors

Today is for you

Tommorow is for us

Train us so that we will always Remember you for good and not bad

And we will surely honor you 

So that we can live long.

                                

THE PAINS OF MARRYING THE WRONG PERSON IS WORSE THAN YOUR PRESENT FEAR OF NOT GETTING MARRIED

*DON’T MARRY A WRONG PERSON!*

*REV. FR. ‘WALE VICTOR IBIYEMI*

"*The Pains of marrying the wrong person is worse than your present fear of not getting married. Marriage is not a competition. Take your time, fall in love, nurse your ambitions, groom your relationship, because forever is too long to be unhappy. Always remember that it is better to wait long than to marry the wrong person.*"

Yesterday (May 10, 2020), I stumbled on a wedding picture on WhatsApp. The Bride was crying on the shoulders of the groom, trust me, it wasn’t tears of joy. On the picture rested the words I quoted above- I was captivated by the truth hidden in those words. I have decided to write down few things I have said to some youths at different times. 

I love marriages, I love people getting married, I love the funfair, the music, the loud laughs- both real and fake, the hugs, the aso-ebi and of course, the food. Sadly, all these are not so important. The only important thing on your wedding day is whether you and your spouse truly understand what you are doing? 

My Dear Youths! Marriage is not by force! Don’t kill yourself! Let me state some facts. Marriage is not an achievement! So, there is no need for competition! Marriage is not a degree or an award given to the best students who have successfully completed some training. Don’t get it wrong, marriage is one of the most beautiful things in the universe but it is not an achievement. The moment you say I do to the wrong person, your life deteriorates! Your wretchedness will begin and it will persist to your death. Who is a wrong person? A wrong person is a wrong person! 

We live in a world where pressures compel us more than reasoning. We live in a society where external forces coerce us to do what the inner voice rejects. We live in a society where fear, gossip, imitation and appearance blind us from truth, reason, common sense, wisdom and reality. The pains of marrying the wrong person is worse than the present fear of mockery, age and gossip. Have you asked yourself when their gossips will end? Even if you die from domestic violence in a marriage, people will still gossip and blame you. So, don’t start what you can’t continue. 

In life, marriage is a bus-stop. If you like, be an accomplished doctor, a prolific lawyer, a successful tycoon, a vibrant pastor, whatever you are, everything ends at home- in your marriage. After a long, beautiful, engaging, stressful and successful day at work, you close from your office or wherever and you have no home to return to…. How sad will it be? You will neither have someone to share the stories of your day with nor your burdens. No one to make you laugh, to ease your stress, to comfort, console, appraise and applaud you for your success... why work then? 

Marriage has become an embarrassment in our time. Nevertheless, such embarrassment does not deny the truth that marriage is a beautiful thing! Don’t allow the horrible stories you see and hear every day deter you or dampen your spirit. Yes! Many people are suffering in their marriages. Their homes have become a lifelong prison. Instead of enjoying it, many are enduring it. Plenty punches here and there, many name-calling, suspicion, distrust, steady cheating, stinginess and wickedness mixed together, perpetual anger, envy, jealousy and all of those things. 

Truly, the lifelong union between two peoples has its ups and downs. But when you marry your best friend- your ups and downs will be minimal.

 DON’T MARRY A STRANGER! Marry your friend! Many marriages these days are between strangers, that is why they don’t last. Who is a stranger? A man or woman you do not know. Many of you in relationships now don’t even know your partners! It is all a circle of liars, a relationship of thieves! Who is your friend? Your friend is the person you know so well; someone who is open to you, who is ready to be known, you know what he/she likes, you know his/her deepest feelings, you know his/her connections, you know his/her strengths and weaknesses. A friend is someone you know from his/her depths and he/she is not ashamed that you know so much about him/her. A stranger is always hiding; he has passwords for all his phones, his computer, his door, his car, his bank accounts, his mouth and his heart… there is password for everything and you don’t know it. 

No sane person jumps into marriage. You should not even jump at it. You must begin from the scratch, don’t jump any ladder, gradually grow friendship and then it becomes marriage. The scratch is friendship. Don’t begin a relationship without friendship, it will end it tears! 

Please use your brain in any friendship or relationship. Love doesn’t blind you, stupidity does. Any one who pretends as a friend to exploit you cannot love you. Anyone who uses you for gains cannot marry you. Anyone who doesn’t want you to grow because of his/her myopic views and shattered ideas about life cannot be your spouse- you will remain stunted forever. 

Anyone who is not happy that you are happy is a witch/wizard- such person cannot be your lover because you will stay unhappy forever.

 Anyone who does not think about your growth and advancement (in your career or vocation) in life is not your friend- he/she has no foresight- you will die in integral poverty. If you and your supposed friend do not always have a melting point- walk away or else your roof will soon catch fire. If your supposed friend is threatened by your achievements and successes, run away else you will die suddenly. If your supposed friend ever raises his/her hands on you to beat you… if you remain there! Then I don’t know what to say to you. You are not yet married, you are already a punching bag, when you eventually get married, you would have successfully enrolled into the school for wrestling…if you don’t win, your lover will win you. I think I should stop here! 

We have many battered homes already, tell yourself, I will not make this mistake! Commit this special journey into the hands of God always. Say, “my marriage will not be a slaughter house, it shall be a blessing and we will make the world a beautiful place.” It is better to wait long than marry wrongly. 

God bless you.

COVID-19: Azubogu Hails FG Decision ON MADAGASCA HERBAL REMEDY

The member representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon., Engr. Chris Emeka Azubogu has praised the Federal Government over its decision to import the herbal remedy developed by Madagascar for possible treatment of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria, describing the step as a bold one.

• 

The Federal Lawmaker, who conveyed the commendation through his media office, was reacting to the revelation made at the daily briefing by the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 yesterday.

He explained that the FG’s decision is a welcome development and in tandem with his position and that of many Nigerians who have consistently called for flexibility in the management of the pandemic in the country, especially with regards to local claims of discoveries of curative therapies. 

Recall that the secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Task Force, Boss Mustapha had revealed at Monday’s briefing that he has received instructions from Mr. President to make arrangements to airlift the Madagascar formulated COVID-19 herbal remedy for possible use in Nigeria, with a strong caveat that the remedy must be subjected to validation processes similar to what any other medicine or Syrup undergoes before use.

Recounting his position, Azubogu said: "You may recall that I have previously counseled that the authorities should accord serious attention to claims of discoveries of COVID-19 cure by various Nigerians. I had urged the Ministry of Health and Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) and other relevant agencies to give our local herbs and drugs a trial” 

Prior to now, the lawmaker had, during the resumed sitting of the House of Representatives on 28th April, stated that we can turn the COVID-19 pandemic into opportunities by activating our local manufacturing potentials; adding that the world is today talking about the Madagascar remedy because their Government paid heed to their local abilities, not minding objections from abroad.

His words: "Today the world is talking about Madagascar because they were not waiting for the world; they took action against objections and they are now a center of attraction on this global fight"

My position is that we should subject whatever herbal drugs anyone claims to have discovered for the cure of COVID-19 in Nigeria to validation processes. "Local manufacturing is the key as various Nations battle COVID-19 terrorized global economy" Azubogu concluded.

The Governor said he remains focused on protecting Rivers people. 

He said: "Therefore, while we welcome genuine criticisms directed towards strengthening our intervention measures; it is no use joining issues with uninformed critics and social media legal practitioners who, blinded and prodded by sheer politics, bias and hatred, have opted to demonized and paint our lawful and responsible actions in bad light.



"Granted that we may not have totally achieved our targets, but we are convinced that, so far, the lockdown and the other measures have impacted greatly in containing and preventing the onslaught of the pandemic on Rivers State.



"We therefore thank the entire people of Rivers State for the overwhelming understanding you have shown even as you continue to endure the pains of the restrictions on your wellbeing and fundamental freedoms."
