STRICTLY FOR MEN

THIS IS FOR MEN ONLY 

In these few years I have spent on this terrestrial divide, I have seen how life treats men, especially in their old ages.

I have seen men work, labour, sweat throughout their youthful lives on their wives and children and I have also seen how they end up. My brother as you are working hard to train your children and to make your wife proud, don't forget to have something for yourself for your old age. May you not be begging your children to eat in your old age.

Remember, women can be jumping from one son's house to another daughter's house. Not so for men.

Can I tell you a truth? You are a stranger in that family you call yours today. That house you struggled to build is not yours. Its for your wife and the children Seriously!

A friend sent me a story recently. Let me quote him here: "My grandfather told me that a married man is like a tractor that builds a road, does it very nicely but when the road is completed, they bring a pay loader and carry the tractor away, claiming it will spoil the road! That tractor is never allowed to step on the road it built!

"Same is the case of we married men we deny ourselves, get loans, wear used clothes, etc, to see our children through high schools, universities, etc because we believe that the only gift we can give them is quality education. When they are old enough, the fathers often become dispensable. The attention of the children shift to their mothers. May be these mothers poison their minds against their fathers, who know/? You hear a typical mother use languages like...
If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have gone to school.
"I sold all my gold, trinkets, wrappers to send you to school.
"Your father was only interested in alcohol and women while I suffered to pay your fees!"
(Now the tractor that built the road is being carried away!)

"Once the child starts working, father could have retired. When he come visiting his parents, the poor father is given N5k in front of the mother, while the mother pulls him to the kitchen to collect 50 times what father got... and the father doesn't know what mother got!

"Once the child drives off, the father is told to bring money from his pittance to buy this and that, buy sugar to prepare Lipton unless he wants to drink sugarless tea! These are some of the reasons men die early!

"A mother flies abroad to visit her children or go do Omugor while the father sits at home, buying and eating bread and ewa agonyin every morning! Six months, the mother is abroad doing Omugor. She comes back home fresh to meet father licking palm oil in ewa agonyin!"

I warn you, my brother. Nature does not smile on old men who did not cater for their old ages when they were young.

 Build your own house where you will live in your old age.

 Build businesses that will feed you in your old age.
Create conveniences that will engage you in your old age.
Build friendship and goodwill that will serve you in your old age.
Right now, start to be relevant in your mosque or Church and community so you could be reckoned with in your old age.

Old age could be very lonely and agonising for men who did not plan for it.
May you not become a liability on your children in your old age.
May your children not wish you an early death when they can't manage you again in your old age.
An old qge without penny in your pocket is a slow, agonising death sentence!

Be warned now...!
There are three categories of people you cannot do without as we are growing older, your family, people in your place of worship and childhood friends, who include your Old School mates.

Friends, take it or leave it, at 60 and above loneliness kills because the  children you are working hard for now will go their ways to raise their own immediate families and pursue their own destinies, just as we did now. At that time it's these people in these 3 -categories that take away loneliness and keep your company.

Pls, out of your busy schedule, set time out to say HI! to your real - old - age* - *cure* - *against* - *loneliness* . In the 3- *categories* , the only *one* that *knows* you *better* and can *relate* with you *down* to *heart* are your *childhood* *friends* .
So why are you feeling too big or inferior to come along? It's not possible* we'll all be at the same level. Some will be very rich moderate* and some poor - that is the beauty and misery of life. Some will be so educated while *some* will *still* be *Secondary* *school* *certificate* *holders* .

 *If* you are *up* , *bring* others that are *willing* *up* , and *if* you are *down* , never *bring* those that are *up* *down* with your *mouth* or *attitude* .
 At close to *50* years and *above* , you have *10* to *15* years of *active* *working* life.

 *Stop* saying *I* *am* this, I *am* *that* . *Flow* into other *people's* *lives* and *let* then *flow* into *yours* .

 *Respect* *friendship* and *value* *relationship* .

Let us *pass* this to  all *friends* on our *contacts* , *Rich* or *Poor* .

 *You* *can't* *exhibit* *pride* . *Live* *simple* .

JAMB Fixes Cut-Off Marks For Tertiary Institutions

Candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria now have cause to smile as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed the minimum cut-off marks for 2017, despite the ongoing strike by the academic staff union of universities.

At a policy meeting on the 2017/2018 admission exercise in Abuja, the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, announced 120 as the minimum cut-off marks for admissions into universities in Nigeria. The meeting was attended by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, and heads of tertiary institutions across the country.

The cut-off mark for admission into polytechnics and colleges of education was fixed at 100, while that of innovative enterprising institutes was pegged at 110.

Professor Oloyede, however, said the institutions are at liberty to raise their cut off marks for admission above the minimum benchmark set by the board.

More than 1.7 million candidates applied to study various courses in tertiary institutions across the country in 2017 and with the minimum benchmark fixed by JAMB, admission seekers with requisite qualifications may find it easier to gain admission into institutions of their choice.

3 Signs to Notice you are having HIV

 In order to raise awareness and help you catch the disease early on, here are some symptoms in each stage of the disease to watch for. Stage one The signs of HIV infection may not present themselves for years and possibly decades in some, but most people will experience flu-like symptoms 2-4 weeks after infection.


Headaches, fever, tiredness, swollen lymph nodes, joint pain and a possible rash are all signs of the HIV virus. These are also common symptoms for the normal flu, so if there is any possibility you’ve been infected and these symptoms show up, it’s best to be tested for HIV AIDS and start treatment as soon as possible.

Stage Two

 

After the initial flu-like symptoms, which may last for weeks, the virus enters a latent period where no symptoms are detectable. The latent period may last up to a decade if it’s not treated with ART, but with the help of the Antiretrovirals, the latent period can last for three or more decades.

 

 

Stage three

By stage three the HIV virus has advanced to full blown AIDS, and not much can be done. Once AIDS symptoms settle in, it is usually fatal within 2-3 years. Advanced AIDS is most often identified by extreme and rapid weight loss. AIDS sufferers may also have prolonged diarrhea (lasting more than a couple weeks), pneumonia, extreme fatigue, herpes (mouth and genital sores), a persistent dry cough, severe night sweats, dementia and red, brown, pink or purple blotches on the skin. Not all AIDS patients have every one of these symptoms, but many will.

10 WAYS on How to Plan Your Wedding

1. Set a Budget 

 

 It's important to stick to a budget and to keep your wishes realistic. While this is a very special day your life, it's not an excuse to be wildly extravagant with money you don't have. Remind yourself when you feel like fretting that you still have many wonderful days ahead and you don't want these marred by paying back an unplanned overspend.

• Aim to never exceed the amount specified as the total of your budget. If you overspend on one item, another item has to take a cut to meet the budget. Be prepared to be flexible and to prioritize the big spends that really matter. You can always make do or DIY on the things that are less important or even the frivolous but desired aspects.

• If your parents or future in-laws are partially or wholly funding the wedding, you have an added help. However, remain conscious to not burden them either. Ask them for their budget ceiling and stick to it. 

 

 2. Set the timeline for planning.

 Of all things about your planning, this is the most important aspect. Develop a sensible, reasonable timeline depending on how much time you've given yourselves. Begin with a calendar before you and try following a suggested timeline from a wedding guide. You will find such timelines in wedding guide books, magazines, online and even at the base of this article. In general, you're likely to find that most guides assume you have around 12 months to plan your wedding; if you've less time, simply adjust the timeline accordingly (the last three months matter the most anyway). (Timeline suggestions will be provided throughout this article.)  

• Don't panic if you don't have 12 months. Generally what planning guides suggest happens in the first few months are things that can be done fairly quickly, such as announcing your engagement, sending the announcement to local papers, purchasing planning books and software, planning the budget, selecting the bridal party and settling on a wedding date.

• One of the principal reasons for a long lead-in time is the wedding and reception venues––the most popular ones are often booked out a year or more in advance and many people have taken to planning the wedding around venue availability. If this irks you or you just don't have a year, look around for great alternatives, from public garden spaces, to lesser known churches and mosques or town halls. Avoid the trap of thinking you have to use the venue every other bride is using this year! 

 

 3. Choose a workable method for your record-keeping.

 

 

 

You'll need to keep tabs of everything you've already decided and what's planned ahead. Also, invoices, quotes, receipts, seating plans, photos of desired decorations/clothing, patterns, instructions, etc. will need to be kept in one place, so have at least one large plastic pocket to keep these in one place. If you're more organized, use a few pockets to separate by categories.

• Wedding software or planning apps can work well for digital planning. If you have tech-savvy friends helping plan the wedding, you might even consider making a wedding wiki open only to those of you helping with the planning. This can help enormously with shared planning and strategizing. On the downside, software and wikis need to be maintained through the inputting of information and scanning in documents, while a notebook can be taken anywhere and you can jot down things quickly and you can simply add the growing mound of papers to a binder. For many people, both digital and paper planning tools combined are the best of both worlds.

4. Size of the wedding, venues and setting the date

 

Remember to talk this over with the person you are engaged to. A dream wedding for one may not be right for the other. You'll need to know how many people are going to attend for the purposes of venues, catering and invitations.

• As part of this decision, choose your bridal party. How many bridesmaids and groomsmen do you want? From none to a dozen, the choice depends on what you have always dreamed of and what space you'll have available for everyone to stand in at the ceremony. Remember that your total number of guests includes your bridal party.
• This decision is usually done at around the ten-months-to-go mark

 5.  Choose the venue.

 The sooner this is done, the better, so that you know you have the place you really want. Check out the spaces offered, the catering deals, the marriage fees, the ability to decorate a church or synagogue, wedding space, etc. Find out whether the prices quoted cover everything or whether you'll be expected to pay for extras.

• Be aware that even church and synagogue venues may charge fees.
• Research into venues for the wedding and reception usually starts around the 12 months-to-go mark, with bookings occurring within the month once you've made up your mind.

6. Set the date.

 

 The factors in choosing a date include the availability of your venue, friends and family. Think about who you must have at your wedding, and try to set the date with their availability in mind. Most people will do their best to accommodate a wedding, so unless you know this person has major surgery or a competing wedding in their calendar, you should be fairly right with directing their calendar.

• Send out "save the date" cards to your guests. Once the venue and guest lists are confirmed, let everyone know what's coming up. Send emails if you know people will read them, otherwise, send cards to their postal addresses.
• Setting the date usually occurs at the same time you've confirmed the place of the wedding and the place of the reception. Finalization of the guest list should be done when there are about seven months to go. Do expect some cancellations and possibly some last-minute additions due to illness, pregnancy, overseas travel, etc. It often can't be helped, so go with the flow.

7.  Wedding theme and the invitations

Choose a theme. It doesn't have to be anything really specific, but a successful event tends to have a consistent feeling throughout. Choose a theme that is easy to plan and decorate. Everything should be consistent with the theme.

• You can usually hire someone that will decorate your wedding, but it can be expensive to do so.
• Visit the venue and take pictures of how the area looks. You may want to measure the dimensions of the room or area, to allow you to plan where you want everything go and to know if you have enough space.
• As part of the theme, research the flowers you want at the wedding. Find out if they're available during the time of your wedding or if they're out of season (the costs of flying them in can be very high). Finalize flowers around four months ahead of the wedding date.
• Match decorations to the color theme for best overall appearance.

 8. Send out the wedding invitations

Research into the design of your wedding invitations when you still have around 10 months to go, and work on purchasing or ordering their printing when there are about six months to go. Leave plenty of time if you're making your own and always have lots of spares, as making a mistake now and then in writing or making them is inevitable.

• Be creative; you can make your own and add a personal touch or go to a professional.
• Send out invitations around two months prior to the wedding; this should be sufficient time if you've already sounded out your guests and sent them "save the date" cards. (If Jewish, make sure to get kippots made.)
• Make wedding programs. As with the invitations, you can you have your programs professionally printed or make your own. It’s not recommended that you print your programs much more than a week in advance in case there are any unexpected changes, such as changes in ushers or candle lighters. If possible, have your officiant proofread the ceremony portion of the program.

 

 

 9. Choose your officiant.

 

 

  For a faith-based wedding, you'll be looking for a pastor, priest, minister or rabbi. If they don't charge a fee outright to perform the ceremony, be courteous enough to pay a generous gratuity for their time. For a secular based wedding, choose a wedding officiant, judge or person with authority to marry people who is both available on the date and amenable to any particular special requests you have by way of vows and ceremony.

• Attend premarital counseling. This may take a large time commitment, but it is often worth it in the long-run. Be honest about your desires and expectations for marriage. Both faith-based and secular-based counseling is available.
• If on a 12 month timeline, this is usually begun when there are about eight months to go.

 

10. Research, design and order your wedding dress

 

Around the mark of nine months to go, start researching your wedding dress ideas. Are you having one custom made, altering an heirloom dress or purchasing off-the-rack? Whichever way, you'll possibly need several fittings and adjustments to perfect it. Alternatively, make your own or steer clear of traditional wedding dresses and buy a dress that you simply love and know you can wear again after the wedding. You don't have to stick with tradition or spend a fortune on something you'll never use again.

• Select a wedding veil if you're having one. And don't forget the shoes––from flip flops to diamond encrusted satin slippers, what's your preference and do they need special effort or will you buy them ready-made?
• Decide on bridesmaid's dresses at the same time. Are you paying for them or will they pay? You have less say over their choices if they pay but they're more likely to be happy with choosing their own style within your color choice.
• In some religions, it is traditional that the mother of both the groom, and bride comes to find the dress, as well as the maid of honor. This varies widely depending on where you live and what your faith is.
• Get tuxes and groomsmen clothing sorted and ordered about four months prior to the wedding. Send tux measurement forms to groomsmen a month before fittings.

How The Man ‘Pa Adebayo Faleti’ Who Translated Nigeria Anthem To Yoruba Died

The man who translates Nigeria National Anthem from English Language to Yoruba, Pa Adebayo Faleti died after morning prayers, his son has said.

Poet, dramatist, broadcaster Chief Adebayo Faleti is dead. He died at 86 in his Ibadan home in Oyo State on Sunday.

 

 

 

Prominent Nigerians have been trooping to his home to condole the family while many have been describing him as a trailblazer in the field of entertainment and poetry.

Many have quickly forgotten that Pa Faleti translated the Nigeria National Anthem in English to Yoruba, which many adults recited during their primary and secondary school days.
Beside the fact that Faleti participated in some recent outstanding movies, including ‘Saworo Ide and Thunderbolt”, the artiste was a pioneer staff of the first television station in Africa, the Western Nigeria Television established by the then Premier of Western State of Nigeria, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
Speaking on the death of Faleti, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai described it as loss to Nigeria and Africa as a whole.


Mohammed said that Faleti was a colossus and that the arts industry would forever be indebted to the man who left indelible footprint in the anal of entertainment in Nigeria.
He commiserated with the family and friends of the departed, as well as all practitioners in the sector. The minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed prayed that God will comfort them and grant repose to the soul of the departed.

Fayose’s Love Letter To Osinbajo

In this piece, Nigeria News take a look at the letter from Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

One has tagged this letter a love memo, going by the tone of its contents. The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose is unarguably one of the undiplomatic politicians Nigeria ever produced.

His approach to issues is aggressive. His continuous attack on President Muhammadu Buhari and the present administration of the All Progressives Congress, APC is visible and he never hid his hatred for the ruling party.

He had since paid dearly for it with his bank account once frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. He fought his battle both in the media and in the court and to some extent, Fayose looks like he is winning.
One had expected the Ekiti governor to lash out at the Acting President Osinbajo since President Muhammadu Buhari left Nigeria for London on a medical vacation but rather Fayose had been addressing Osinbajo with decorum.

While he had always refuted various stories on Buhari’s health status, Fayose decided to write a letter to Osinbajo and made a copy of his letter available to the media, asking the acting President to produce the report of the probe on the allegations of corruption against two public officers in the present administration.
Fayose mentioned the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ambassador Ola oke and the sacked Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal.

Lawal was alleged to have diverted about N300 million meant for the welfare of the Internally Displaced Persons, IDP to a company where he is a director. He was alleged to have approved the funds for a grass cutting contract that was never a part of the IDP project.

For Oke, the NIA boss, was found to have involved in stashing about N13 billion in an Ikoyi residence. The EFCC arrested both and their cases were investigated.

President Buhari inaugurated a probe panel with Osinbajo as the chairman to look into the allegation.
After about two weeks, the presidency announced the suspension of the two but never told the public whether they were guilty or not.
Currently, nothing is being said about the culprits while the media have become silent on the whole saga.
Fayose had also become unnecessary silent, having being in forefront of opposition until Monday when he came up with a letter asking Osinbajo to release the probe report.
Fayose urged Osinbajo to act more like a pastor and lawyer by telling members of the public how the probe went instead of sweeping the case under the carpet.
He said that he would not mind taking the Federal Government to court for failing to release the report of the probe panel.
To Fayose, the current administration has abused the fundamental human rights of many Nigerians in the guise of fighting corruption but has failed to make a single arrest of any member of the APC, including those who had been found culpable of corruption.

He recalled how almost all the chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP were arrested, molested and detained by the APC led government even when the court had not proclaimed them guilty of any corrupt practice.
Fayose bemoaned the style at which the Federal Government is using to fight corruption. According to him, the government is only out to persecute those in opposition and this has shown in the slap on the palm’s treatment for Lawal and Oke.
He capped his argument when he referred Osinbajo to the statement made by an APC senator, Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central that the current administration only treats its corrupt members with deodorants but others with insecticides.

5 MEANINGFUL PLANS TO WORK WITH AFTER NYSC – MAKE SURE YOU SEE THIS!

Things to do after NYSC – NYSC (National Youth Service Corp) as we all know, is a platform where graduates from different tertiary institutions come together for a year in various states to serve their father’s land. To some, it is an interesting phenomenon while to others it’s like hell in a packaged form. This article is not based on NYSC but on what happens after NYSC.    

Some have finished their service year, while others will soon be through and then move on to the next phase of life. This means no more alert from Federal Pocket, PPA (Place of Primary Assignment) or the State Government, like it or not, this is a pure fact. But those that are extremely very lucky or those that are vigilant of the present economic trend in Nigeria will strive to success.   

Those that will earnestly search for knowledge and opportunities will also succeed, those that know the dig dong search strategies will eventually find opportunities, those that are ambitious will find a lucrative business to do and those that are lazy will stay at home to realize when they are old . So which category will you belong to after your service year? Many Nigerian graduates still sit back at home or some even tend to join the labour market movement filled with millions of graduates who are also looking for the so called “White collar Job” which in turn is tantamount to unemployment among Nigerian youths. Recently, out of the 13,000 applications received by Dangote group of companies for graduates executive truck drivers, there were 6 PhD. holders, 704 MSC and over 8,460 BSc holders, even though the company only needed 100 drivers, almost 13,000 were received mostly from graduates of reputable universities. More so, according to the federal ministry of labor and productivity, it was stated that the mandatory NYSC, more than 41% of Nigerian graduates are without employment.

The Bureau for Statistics added that over 50% of youths in Nigeria are jobless, while the world bank puts the figure at 56% considering the country’s estimated population of about 167 million and 60 million jobless , these figures are alarming and poses a great threat to the economic growth and development of a Nation with the highest concentration of black people on earth. To avoid being on the negative side of Nigeria situation after service year, there are some things you need to keep your self doing, which brings about the question, What next after service year?



1. Develop Yourself
 For the first few months after service, most will remain very idle and will have nothing doing. These first few months can be used in personal development of one’s self. Mentally, Physically, and in all ramification. Pick a skill and learn more about it, Pick up the books you have been procrastinating to read and read up. There are various books out there that can be used to develop yourself. From inspirational to spiritual to business and lots more. If already you have what you good at, you can as well develop on it.    

2. Learn A Trade    
Sounds awkward to the ears of someone that just finished service, right? As for me, it doesn’t. Learning a trade after NYSC does not deprive you of your integrity or speaks less of you. If you check the background of some of the top rice people in your locality or Nigeria at large, you will find out that they were into trade before they started making millions out of it. Learning a trade is not something to look down on, but an avenue to increase financially. It may be tiring and discouraging for some while after you start, but like the saying “Good things don’t come easily”, so while learning a trade also learn to also have an enduring spiritual.      

3. Create A Good Business Plan And Execute    
Start up that dream business you have been nursing for long. Ben (surname withheld) did his service at NNPC towers Abuja, a very good place if you must ask me, a lot of connections and opportunities. Every month he got his “alawee” as popularly called among corp members, he bought clothes and shoes bags and fancy wrist watches just because he believed he needed to impress the other workers. Wrong motive I say because today he’s going through fasting and prayer just to get a job. While Daniel (Surname Withheld ) did his at a certain Ondo company, not well known and he even had issues with some months payments, but he saved up half of his allowance monthly and now he has his own functioning business. The difference between Ben and Daniel is that Daniel had a good plan laid down and a way of saving up to finance that plan from the general #19,800 all corp members receive monthly which he used to execute his plan.  

4. Further Your Education    
To those of you who are the career driven types, you can decide to further your education by getting MSC (Masters) in the field of your choice. Search through accredited institutions before applying for your master’s program. Some will say no money to fund them. Common! there are lots of scholarship programs out there, if not full then half, you can just Google search through, apply and you might be lucky. It is okay to do your master’s degree program, but get this straight, if your sole purpose for doing masters is to get a high paying job, then you are heading for a shocker ‘cos guess what’? there are so many people with masters who are yet to get a job, talk less of good ones. So get certified in what you love and compliment it with something.      

5. Get Married

2017 (72)Prophecies By Pastor Joshua Iginla

72 prophetic insight for 2017 by Pastor Joshua Iginla of the Set Man of Champions Royal Assembly, for individuals and nations.

1. In 2017, I see more pressure on his excellency, Mr president to sack the incubent CBN Governor. It will take divine Grace for him to remain in that office.

2. Senator Saraki. The Senate president should not think that the trials are over. I see more storm and trials that will take a new turn from his enemies and political distractor. They will scheme for his removal. He should be very careful because I see much betrayal of promise. They might backstab him. I see promises made in the secret to him that will not be kept. He should pray that the people in his camp should not see the storm overwhelming him, thus leaving him in the storm.

3. The hardship and poverty in Nigeria will increase. Mr president will do all he can in his power to reshuffle some of his cabinet in order to rescue issues but because his administration has more enemies than friends, they will frustrate all his efforts. However, I see a light at the end of the tunnel but it will not free us from this hardship. Rather , it will increase, it will be strong but I have good news for you, those who know their God will be exempted.  

4. I see a part in this country that the military will move swiftly to rescue because of the crisis that will come out of there. it will be like a tail of crocodile slapping the water. It is between 2018 - 2019 that this crisis will blow but in 2017, we will see a symptom of it splashing the water. Sensitive crisis from one part of the nation that needs the current administration to be sensitive and pray about it.  

5. I see the issue of flood resuming. I see heavy down pour. I see some of the corruption that has been there over 2 years ago to curb such flood will be exposed because this will affect a lot of buildings.  

6. Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Benue, Kaduna, Adamawa and Plateau should pray against serious attack like herdsmen, terrorism, radical extremist and religious attacks which will increase but God will give us Victory.  

7. The dollar exchange rate will rise up above 600. It will go up.  

8. - His Excellency, Mr President should pray for his health, I see him traveling out for an unscheduled health checkup. But this time, it will be more serious. He should pray for his health, God will keep him.  

9. There will be serious attempt to frustrate the Vice President . This attempt will be so strong. There are some cabals that will want him out of the seat. This attempt would not just be by political measures but an attempt through striking of his life as well. He should pray and be careful but the Lord will keep him.  

10. The Churches in Nigeria will go through serious persecution. Some major ministries will receive serious court judgement that will be unfavourable but God will keep such ministries. There will be strong persecution. Lets Pray to God to keep the church in Nigeria. God spoke to me and said this is the time Nigeria should be ever united as it has been in the history of the country because what is ahead of us, one cannot fight. It will take measures of too many people connecting with heart and mind to fight.

11. The current government will prevail so much over the issue of Boko Haram but it will not die. Rather, it will take a new dimension. It will worsen but at the tail end between 2017 - 2018, most especially 2018, that's when we will get the victory better on the issue of Boko haram.  

12. I see another monster that will be created before the end of this regime meant to distract the incumbent President and his crew. Just as Boko haram was a distraction to the previous Government. I see another distraction that is coming. It will be stronger than what we heard about. That's why we should continue to pray not to continue going from one circle of battle to the other.

13. The agitation of Biafra will take another turn. Pray so that this time it should not be bloody. We should pray for Kanu Nnamdi, the biafra leader, because I see an health challenge and I see bitterness and agitation from thissame region he is coming from. And I pray the current admistration is very sensitive over the case of Nnamdi Kanu because what I see is not too good. May the Lord keep Nigeria. Will he come out? Yes! How will he come out? I can't really tell. I see it as something divine. I don't see legal issue as a means of removing him from there.

14. I keep repeating this prophecy for the past three years and I'm still repeating it. There is a great man of God whose candle light has finished. There's nothing we can do about it. This is an home calling to glory and I keep saying this. God said I should re-echo it. This is an important but sensitive minister in the body of Christ. His candle light has gone down but is living by Extra grace. I still see this same prophecy in 2017. I pray God will show mercy and grace on him.

15. We should pray against another terrorist attack in Abuja. God will avert it!  

16. A former president and great man should pray to cross this year 2017 to the next year.

17. The clamour for his Excellency, Mr president, to come back in 2019 will be very high. Buhari should be very careful. There's a lot of judases around him. They are only digging his grave for him unknowingly. He should be very careful.

18. I see a shake in the Government. I see new ministers coming in.

19. The governor of Rivers state will suffer a lot of political persecution but it will not stop what God is about to do.

20. The Lord spoke to me and said what Amaechi was to the ex-president is what Ayo Fayose will become to President Buhari in this regime. The same persecution that Amaechi gave the previous Government is the same persecution Fayose will give Buhari. He should not be underestimated because I see him making a move that may result in revolution.

21. Rivers and Ekiti state Governors should be very careful. There will be attempt even over their lives. I don't know by which party but that's what I saw.

22. I see a governor that will narrowly escape death. God will keep him. Infact, he will have to go to the house of God thanksgiving.

23. APC has served its purpose. In 2017, the party will begin to see major Cracks and before 2019 there's a powerful party that will merge out and will form strong alliance in 2017. It will become solid in 2018. APC has served it's purpose. It's like a piece of paper thrown away after being used. APC has served its purpose. A new party that will take Nigeria to the next level will rise up and I don't know how but I see this party consisting of members of the ruling party and opposition party fusing together causing what I call unwanted diffusion that will lead to a future catastrophe but before it, there is going to be calm on the nerves of Nigerians. Even the new party that will come in is like joining petrol and Kerosine together and mixing it up with water.

24. I'm sorry to say this but it is what I Saw. Nigeria will continue to have old faces ruling this country. They will keep circulating powers among themselves. The faces we will be seeing won't be really new. They will keep changing from one regime to another till 2031.

25. In 2031, I see a face rising up that will take Nigeria to where we ought to be. He is a true David we should look up to. A strong, vibrant, intelligent leader and a bridge maker. By this time, 3 major political fathers who caused change in this generation would have gone to glory.

26. God said there are some cabals he's going to call to glory before the true David emerge.

27. I saw a mighty hand sweeping Nigeria. What I saw was a golden fork sweeping but it took time to gather the dirt. It took sometime that is the space of time I saw in my vision

28. In 2035, there will be a strong female politician that will rise. She will become very strong, fearless, confrontational and she will be a running mate. That's a vice president position.

29. Between 2039 - 2051, Nigeria will have a female President that will turn the country in another dimension.

30. The tension in 2019 will be worse than 2015 election. We must pray against military intervention, please let's pray as it can be averted.

31. We must pray against cancellation of results after election in 2019.

32. I see the seat of an African leader empty because of death.

33. Some politicians are agitating to rule forever. As long as they are on the seat, there's nothing anyone can do about it. Hear what God said about them. He said ' Is it not the living that will rule? The dead body can't rule.

34. I see thick dark cloud over sokoto. Please pray for sokoto state in 2017.

35. Pray for the aviation industry. I saw thick dark cloud on one of the airlines. I pray and I cancel such aircraft crash in Jesus name.

36. There will be some cabal in the ruling party that will move the motion to remove the National chairman of the ruling party. They will pass vote of no confidence against him. They will cry and criticise him more. It will be very strong just as it happened in PDP , It will happen in APC. I see the seat of the national ruling party leader shaking before the next election.

37. Buhari will do his best to move Nigeria forward but all his best will be thwarted by the enemies of Nigeria. It is not about Buhari, it is about some cabals who are enemies of Nigeria. Though we have angels sitting at the helms of affairs, if this cabal don't die, Nigeria will remain in a cage.

38. There will be mass loss of Job most especially in the banking industry. There will be lot of retrenchment. 39. The budget of 2017 will suffer a lot of strong set back in terms of implementation. It is like the spirit will be willing but the flesh will be weak.

40. I see a particular deputy governor taking over from a governor. I can't tell the circumstances that led to this, we should pray.

41. I see a strong terrorist attack in form of chemical weapon against a country in Europe and especially the attack will be carried out on a school. I see children dying helplessly. I pray God will deliver and avert it in Jesus name.

42. There will be strong assassination attack against the pope but God will deliver him. The pope will try to bring peace between so many nations that lack peace and he will make major achievements mostly in his peace agenda.  

43. America : I see the new president approaching the helm of affair with radical apporach. The American-China relationship will go sour. It will go bitter, cold and that will so much affect a lot of things in some areas in America. So many dirty deals of the past regime will be exposed by the current regime.

44. There will be attempt to attack the incoming president of America but God will preserve him.

45. I see some American political elite that will maintain political division and this will affect the performance of the new president. They will not share some of his views and as a result of that, the division will be so strong that it will be evident.

46. The conflict between the USA and China will erupt and it will slow the wheel of progress for both Nations.

47. There will be an alliance between the USA and Russia and the discussion which will not go down with some political elite and that's why I said it will slow the wheel of Progress

48. The new style of the new American president will weaken the attack of terrorist in some other parts of the world. It will be so strong and the signal will be so strong and there will be major breakththrough than the Obama's regime INDIA :

49. I see a serious escalating conflict between China and India over the nothern border of Kashmir.

50. There will be a great revival in the Nation of India and 6 major prophets will rise up in India that will cause major changes in terms of Christian revival in the nation of India. Christianity in India will soon be a wide fire catching all over and it will be accepted and move forward than ever before.

51. I see the government of India having a strong alliance with 3 powerful Nations in 2017. I see it so very strong.

52. I see a train accident that will be averted but some people will still die. The hazard will not be as intended by the enemies.

53. The political environment in India will be tensed and I see the ruling party holding to power. CHINA :  

54. The economy will be very strong, viable, and it will overtake others economically .  

55. China will become a strong threat to world powers mostly of the number one one world powers.

56. Between 2018 and 2021, China will be at the top of the chart because of what God showed me.

57. There are some super powers we have now that are very strong but will lose the position. Its not as a result of failure but because there's a shift taking place in th realm of the spirit.

58. China should pray against plane crash. I avert it in Jesus Name. GHANA :

59. Alot of past leaders will go to Jail and the new president will be celebrated for just 6 months and after that he will become unpopular.

60. Ghana will soon experience the same challenge like Nigeria. What is happening in Nigeria will be duplicated in Ghana. The new president will do well but his enemies will be more than his intention. I pray for God's speedy intervention. FRANCE :

61. There will be relative peace from the first quarter of the year but I still see a co- ordinated attack that will still come inside the Nation's capital. I cancel it now!

62. In france the election will be tough and strong because of some internal rancour. They should pray to sustain their position, because I see the opposition party pushing the ruling party from the helm of affair. GAMBIA :

63. There will be strong revolution that will take place. I see strong military intervention . God says they should pray against bloodshed.  

64. There will be a lot of political dramas. It will cause lot of lives. It will be one that has never be seen. It will become news everywhere. ZAMBIA :

 65. The economy will still be struggling to pickup. The president will do all his best to drag it up and I see it having a steady balance in 2018.

66. One of the serving ministers should pray to cross to 2018 because I see an attack over his life. God will preserve you in Jesus name.

67. A lot of people from the opposition party will form alliance and collapse themselve into the ruling party and will try to give the incumbent President support.

68. The president should pray over his health. It will be a major challenge throughout his regime but God will still keep him. There's is no grace for him to come back after this regime because I see lot of Judas and funny people that will advise him to return back. He shouldn't adhere because there is no grace. Have said it before, Zambia president please watch.

69. CAMEROON : The government should watch over the border because I see the influx of boko haram entering into the country. They should pray so that Cameroon should not be at the receiving end of what we are chasing from Nigeria.

70. The crisis between The English and French speaking parts will worsen but God will bring peace.

71. The president of Cameroun should pray for his health. I see him going overseas for an health treatment. I pray God keeps him.

72. RUSSIA : The Nation of Russia will have good relationship with USA. Between 2017 - 2018, there will be a relationship Crack between the Russian president and USA president. It will grow sour and become strong. It will become the battle of Ego. It will be like a Lion and Tiger battle.

Russia will wax stronger despite any kind of sanctions

11 steps and demonstrating picture on How to Plan For a Successful Future

1. Find a place where you can think without being disturbed.    

At the end of it all, you are planning for a successful future for yourself, which means you need to first get into the mindset of thinking about and for yourself. Thinking about a successful future is a necessity that should be done without any distractions or interruptions. Being in a quiet place will also help you think on your own as no other people will have little to zero influence on decisions you feel comfortable with.   It is your life that you’re thinking about, so staying focused in this moment of thinking, will be of benefit later when you need to stay focused on the actual acts to be successful.    

To spend time on your own shouldn’t be discouraged. Before taking action for a better future for yourself, you need some clarity on what it is you exactly want. Ask yourself questions pertaining to what it is that you want, and not what others want for you.

2. Explore key questions about the future you want.    
Is the life you see for yourself one where you aren’t living for others? Why do you want a change? What could be a manageable change that can be made pretty much immediately?  

 Asking questions like these can help you get to know yourself better and they also get you to rationalize your thoughts, instead of blindly dreaming. The more difficult the questions are to answer, the more likely they are to be most important ones.

3. Stop thinking of the past and focus on the present and future.     
This will assimilate into your mind and help you to persevere towards your dream. Dwelling on things past is a hindrance when you attempt to move forward. Being successful is all about going forward, developing, and letting things go to make it all possible.
Letting go of the past will make you more present with yourself. You may feel like you’re moving forward, but if you’re mentally stuck elsewhere, then your mind is unable to sort out what is currently happening and what needs to happen. What happened has happened, and what needs to happen should be thought about now.
Thinking about what you did can lead you to think about failures. This can discourage you, and can make you start thinking about your self-worth in a bad light. Instead, take failures as lessons on what not to do so you don’t repeat mistakes.    
Moving on will help you live with what you’ve done (good or bad). There’s no way to succeed in the future if you don’t accomplish putting mistakes and other failures behind you. Doing this can make you put all of your energy towards reaching your dream, so that nothing is wasted in things that can no longer be dealt with.

4. Review your life up until now, and look for a passion – something that comes naturally to you.     
A passion will fuel confidence and create excitement on your path to succeed.    
Think about what you can turn into work that doesn’t necessarily feel like work. Passion and success are highly intertwined. It is the one thing that can give you that natural enthusiasm and set you on a trajectory to happiness and success. 
Don’t be shy to go all the way with what excites you. If something does this for you, then it is a sure sign that it is your passion. It’s something that you are comfortable doing because it simply makes you feel good about yourself, and what you’re capable of.  
If you’re having troubles finding out what your passion is, look for patterns in what you’ve done. Perhaps a hobby you’ve been doing can be made into a career? Or maybe past work experiences emanate something about you as a person. For example, volunteer experience usually speaks to what a person cares about and is willing to go the extra mile for it.

5. Start feeling proud of what you’re good at.    
 This will allow you to continuously work to get what you want in life. Confidence and passion work in tandem to better your chances of succeeding through the thing you love to do most.  
When you’re enthusiastic and proud of what you can do or create, you are better equipped to counter any impending obstacles. Because there was an initial excitement felt, you’ll be more inclined to do the things necessary to keep the feeling there. 

 Others will notice your confidence. It's one thing to turn a passion into work, but when you emanate a pride that is unique to you and your work, others might see this and offer you great opportunities.   It will make you feel that you are worth it. You may have failed at some things in your past, but once you find that one thing to start feeling proud of, then you’ll in turn have a better sense of whom you are and the direction you want your life to go in.

6. Trust your instincts
When you’ve found your passion it should heavily make gut feelings clearer to act upon. You’ll have a
natural instinct to work with your passion, and not against it. After all, a passion makes you feel good and confident about yourself and anything that can diminish these needs to be avoided effects. 
It’s one of our primal instincts to trust out guts. It’s the purest and most individual thing we have that is hard to sway by what others have to say. Think of it seriously, and how it can benefit you to be successful.

7.Write in a journal to keep track of your progress.     
This can also help you see how much you are diverting away from your original plan (as you will most likely do), but don’t be afraid if you are. Most of the people who have achieved their dreams took the first steps by writing in a journal.    
Having things laid out before your eyes on paper can put things into perspective. If this is in a list format, then you can see whether or not you are taking on too much that can tire you out before you even reach your goals. Sometimes we dream bigger than reality.  
This isn’t a bad thing, but it is important to keep in mind what you are mentally capable of handling realistically.   Set benchmarks. When you’ve seen that you’ve done a lot of what is in your journal (or wherever you’re writing), then group it as a small success. This is also a great way of keeping track of how long it takes you to complete things. Don’t shy away from adjusting the goals as it may help you succeed in what you want to do in a more manageable time line.    

It’s a way to celebrate! Checking things off lists are sure signs that you are on the right track to what you want. Take these small wins, and make time to celebrate how far you’ve in making that small dream you had reality.

8. Rip it off to your journal and keep it somewhere that you can see it every time you leave your place or after you go to bed, so every time you want to look at it, it will remind yourself of your goals.    

 By having a visual, tangible reminder will help you remember that what you are doing is important enough to be constantly referring back to.    
Seeing this journal everyday will also keep you on the right track. It will help you steer away from distractions that can prevent you from reaching benchmarks, and other small successes.    
It doesn’t hurt to be reminded of promises you’ve made to yourself. Writing things down and seeing them on a daily basis, will make them hard to forget. Since you wrote them down, it’s hard to ignore the fact that these were steps you set for yourself to succeed.

9. Start a savings account and deposit 25% of your monthly income
 By saving this you’ll also have the funds to dip in to for the little things that will help you in the grander schemes of things. For example: a car, new places to live are purchases that all count towards you being successful. Whether it be buying necessary supplies or taking small classes for career preparation, every little step counts towards the bigger ones to success.

10. Look at what needs to be changed in your lifestyle.   
Your habits and current way of living and other minute details should be scrutinized to see if they are of any real benefit to you.   Cut out any unnecessary spending can make a huge difference. By having that extra cash on hand because you choose not to buy materialistic things, will help you in the long run.   It all boils down to you learning how to spend wiser!. It may mean adjusting a lot of things in your life, but it will be worth it one day.    
Research where you are going. If what you want to succeed in requires an education, then you should consider taking some classes so you are prepared (saved money can really help with this, as an education can be very expensive).     Look at the people you surround yourself with. Who you are around can either distract you from what you need to do for yourself, or they can be a great support system. This doesn’t mean you have to necessarily cut out people who are holding you back, but just keep in mind how much time you are spending with who.

11. Work your plan.    

 Put it into action by following your pre-determined plan when you wrote in your journal. Try to stick as closely to it as possible, yet leave room for change.   

 Don’t wait too long to start putting your plan in to action! Whether it be starting school, or going out looking for experience, you should be on top of opportunities and put yourself out there. The longer you wait, the more difficult it may be to start.    

Be flexible. Remember that the plan you make isn’t a concrete one. Life isn’t like what it is you write on paper when it comes to planning your future. Think of your plan as a skeleton, and you need to work with what you are given to build upon it, rather than trying to do everything your way, how you want it.     Keep dreaming. As hard as you work to get where you want, it doesn’t hurt to keep dreaming of more things to do and achieve. Keep your plan ever-growing (but flexible), have fun finding your way to success.

10 ways to unlock your dream

Here are ten things you can do to rekindle your ability to dream big. Try them out, especially the ones that seem challenging to you.

1. Perfect Day.
Write down what your perfect day would look like. Where are you? Who are you with? What are you doing? How do you feel? Now take a minute and ask yourself to believe that you will have that perfect day. In other words, imagine what your perfect day will look like. Do you believe it? What is one thing you can do today to get closer to that perfect day?

2. Count to a billion.
 Well, not exactly. Actually, simply do the exercise that I outlined above. Think of an idea that could be worth $100. What could you do or make that is worth $100? What business could you create that could make you $ 100. It doesn’t matter what it is. For example, you could sell something on Craigslist. Now expand it to $1000. Then try $100,000. Now push yourself to $ 1,000,000 with a new idea. Can you think of business, product, and/or service that could be worth $1,000,000,000? If you really want to push yourself, come up with 10 ideas at each level. If money makes you feel uncomfortable, let me offer you this alternative. Substitute money for number of people helped. What could you imagine doing that could help 1,000,000,000 people?

3. Connect with your inner 8 year old.
I am borrowing this idea from another friend of mine, Rich Sheridan, also of Menlo Innovations. He suggests remembering your “inner 8 year old.” What did you dream about when you were 8? What did you want to be when you grew up? What did you think was possible? Rich regularly shares this message when he speaks and he talks about it in his great book Joy, Inc. When I was 8, I wanted to be an astronaut. When I recall that dream, it immediately puts me in the mindset of possibility, even though I don’t want to be an astronaut any more (but I do want to go to space). 

4. Talk to a child.
Take a few minutes to have a conversation with a child. Ask them what they want to be. Ask them what the coolest invention ever would be. Ask them what is something they would like to see. I did this with my 3 year old. His answer? Someday he’s going to get a flying monster truck, a flying motorcycle, and a blue Transformer suit that…you guessed it–can fly. He even offered to get me one of these flying trucks, motorcycles, and Transformer suits, except that mine has to be red. Of course, I took him up on the offer and started imagining what else we could make fly. Do you still dream about flying?

5. Have lunch with a hero. 
Find someone you admire. This could be anyone–a friend, someone you saw speak, a person you read about, a famous person. Have lunch with them. If you absolutely can’t have lunch (which you probably can), then talk to them. If you can’t talk to them, read about them (but try to have lunch and talk with them first). Spending time with them can help inspire you. Ask them about their journey and their dreams.

6. Overcome obstacles with your mind’s eye.
What is an obstacle that you face? What is a fear that you have? I have a family, so sometimes I get scared of not being able to provide a good life for them. Now, imagine that obstacle–in my case, fear–going away. Use whatever imagery you want. Watch it explode in your mind’s eye. Imagine placing it in a box and locking it up. Pick up the obstacle and throw it over a mountain. Or perhaps visualize yourself overcoming it step-by-step. Stay in that mindset and reflect for a minute. How does it feel with that obstacle gone? What can you do now?

7. Do something ridiculously hard.
Think of something really hard for you to do. For example, it may be hard to run a mile or do 100 pushups or give up television for a day. Now, multiply it by 10 and actually do it. In other words, run 10 miles, do 1000 pushups, or give up television for 10 days. (Disclaimer: check with your healthcare professional). Sound crazy? You can do it. Ask yourself how. You may not think you can do those things. Set aside that disbelief and believe that you can. Then do it little by little. Could you run for a minute then walk for a minute until you got to 10 miles? Could you do 3 pushups, take a few breaths, and do 3 more until you got to 1000? Ramit Sethi recently challenged people to do 1000 pushups and people all over the world were able to do it once they committed. I was one of them. The sense of exhilaration and accomplishment afterwards is amazing. After accomplishing something 10 times harder than you thought you could do, your mind will start to question all the other boundaries you have set. That is powerful.

8. Visualize being someone else.
I suggest doing this at least three times with three types of people. First, imagine yourself as someone who is in a hard situation. Maybe they don’t have money or a home. What do they see, think, feel, and hear? What do they dream of? What would you do if you were them? Next, imagine you are one of your peers–someone a lot like you, but not actually you. What do they see, think, feel, and hear? What do they dream of? What would you do if you were them? Imagine you are a powerful or exceptionally wealthy and successful person, like Bill Gates or Jacqueline Novogratz or Richard Branson. What do they see, think, feel, and hear? What do they dream of? What would you do if you were them?

9. The world without its biggest problem.
What is the biggest problem in the world that you see? Poverty? War? Disease? What would the world look like without that problem? What is one thing you could do today to make the world more like that for at least one person?

10. Future journal.
Write down a journal entry dated 10 years in the future. What does your world look like? What have you accomplished? What will you do that day? Who will you be with? What will you see, think, feel, and hear? I love dreaming big. It’s not easy. Lately, I’ve been pushing myself to do it more, and the influence that practice has had on my life is immense. Give it a try.
