THE MORAL OF SUPPORTING EVIL

 Tí abání kòkànwá aò lèso, ólèkan eni tó kàn wá, lafi ní, kámá fi oun tí kòdára kan ènìyàn kan, Òle kan Omo làkejì tó kàn ni se.... SAHEED OSUPA".

MORAL LESSON!

Long-time ago in the Animal Kingdom, a Sheep was passing and saw a Lion crying inside a cage trapped  and the Lion begged the Sheep to save him with a promise not to kill and eat it but the Sheep refused. 

After much persuasion and for the Sheep's gullibility it opened the cage for the Lion.

Now the Lion was very hungry having stayed in the cage for days without food. It quickly grabbed the Sheep to kill and eat but the Sheep reminded him of his promise. 

They were still there arguing when other animals came passing and they sought to know what happened. 

Both the Lion and the Sheep narrated their own side of the story but because of fear and in trying to gain favour in the sight of the Lion, all the animals took side with the Lion except the Tortoise who claim not to understand the whole scenario. 

Now the Tortoise asked the Lion to show them where he was before the Sheep rescued him, he pointed at the cage. 

He asked again, "were you inside or outside when the Sheep arrived"? 

The Lion said he was inside. 

The Tortoise again said, "ok, enter let’s see how difficult it could be inside". 

The Lion entered and the Tortoise locked him back inside.

In amazement, the other animals asked Tortoise "why" and he replied 

"if we allow him to eat the Sheep today, he will still go hungry tomorrow and we don't know the next amongst us to be eaten tomorrow. 

The Moral of this tale

*Don't support evil today because it doesn't affect you directly. Tomorrow it could be your turn. Have a rethink again over your dealings and your attitude.

WHAT WILL BE YOUR EXCUSE?

 

It is very important to ask yourself what your excuse would be by the time this year ends? It won't be a surprise at all if you give any excuse because the lazy man's alibi is an excuse. There are many excuses out there including the exchange rate of the naira to a dollar? The most common thing we have today is finding an excuse for our below par performance.

I won't open any book of lamentation for those who continue to seek every conceivable reasons for them to stay in the doldrum of poverty or the state that they are today. You can't be doing the same thing day-in and day-out with an expectation that you will get a different result. If you are working in the same place of work doing the same thing your results today will not be different from the one you had last year.

Except for personal deception, we have far too many intellectually lazy people today. It is easier for them to chat for endless hours, spending the currency of time like they would live on earth forever oblivious of the passage of time. Many are wasting their youths online on Whatsapp and Facebook, ask them what are they doing, taking Panadol for the headache of another.

Are you one of those who are saying you have no jobs and expecting someone to create a job and pay you? It is nothing but living in a dream world of attendant poverty. In Philippines today, there are youths who work online by researching for people and they get paid by the hour and you are saying there is no job, I guess we are surrounded by lazy youths who wants a life they can't afford.

There is no honor amongst thieves. If you are wasting your own time you are merely committing suicide only you are not buried yet. If you allow someone else waste your time, you are been murdered. Either way you are been foolish, wasting the greatest gift that you ever have which is your life. There is nothing that God will create on this earth. He has created all he needs to create but your laziness will not allow you add anything of value to this earth.

Don't join the league of those who are mere existing and not living. A lazy man is fond of a little slumber, a little folding of the arms, a lot of endless, mindless chatter and gossip of other people's affairs and never minding his own business. If you are not doing anything with your life, you are merely existing not living or better put, a walking corpse and that is what every lazy individual is. Pride and ego is a big problem of the lazy. They are always looking for easy way out. Remember whatever you sow is what you will reap.

How To Train A Puppy

If you want to train a puppy, you have to get the timing right.

Their brains can only connect their behavior and its consequence over a very short period of time.

And if you want your training to be REALLY effective, you have to catch them in the act.

That's why clicker training is so effective. 

You associate a reward to the click.

After you do that for a while, the click itself triggers a reward  in the brain.

And then you use the click itself to mark the exact moment the puppy took the desired action.

Although people are much more complicated...
And have a more sophisticated ability to bridge the gap between action and consequence...
Our brains still work in fundamentally the same way.

Why do you think that so many people knowingly trade long-term costs for short-term benefits?

Think junk food, video games, tv, drugs, and alcohol.

They all trigger short-term rewards.

The brain heavily biases towards those things which reward or punish us immediately.

So if you are responsible for training people...
(And you're always responsible for training yourself)

Or if you want to start encouraging certain behaviors over others...

Start catching them in the act.

AMAZING TESTIMONIAL

🌱AMAZING TESTIMONY TIME🌱
From: Karla Beek

My story is HempWorx CBD Oil changed my life 200% !!!
I had 2 neck and 3 back surgeries since 2008 and was headed to another massive 3 stage back surgery, with 1 year recovery time.
I had chronic pain 24/7, was receiving injections, using a tens unit 24 hours a day, took a minimum of 60 pills Daily. .yes Daily no typo, walked with cane and was ready to move to using a walker.
My other conditions were (are) neuropathy, sciatica, scoliosis, arthritis, would fall for no reason, anxiety and depression, also NEVER could sleep more then a max of 2 hours at a time. ... of course unable to work.
I struggled everday.

I had tried everything even other cbd oils that were $125 a bottle and nothing worked.
Then one day I was on Facebook still searching for something for relief and trying to get my mind off the upcoming surgery within a few months.
This is where my life changed at least started. .

I ran across someone, I now call my angel!

She was selling cbd oil, and we chatted in length about all that was going on with me.
Bless her heart for taking all her time for doing so. This went on lengthy emails and calls.. yes she gave me her number, for many days.
She really wanted me to try her Hempworx cbd oil. Told her... been there did that! She asked for a picture of my bottle and I sent it to her. She taught me a LOT that day of the additives and garbage in the 125.00 bottle of oil I was using.
She encouraged me to really honestly give Hempworx a try as they did have a 30-day Empty bottle money back guarantee.
Now I don't know how many of you go by gut feelings, but mine so far have not led me wrong.
I waited and researched the next few days extensively, even my Pain Management Dr did a lot himself that evening. He contacted me the next morning and the verdict was in..... he said go for it but only stick with this oil as he looked at all their documents etc and it was the purest and best out there that he found.

I called my Angel Dawn up and told her I was placing my order.
Got the oil in a few days. Started taking the 750 mg peppermint , using 8 to 10 drops am and pm. She asked me to contact her in a week which I did and we reviewed how things were going.
I told her the 2nd night I slept 9 hours!!
The end of that week I was able to stand the full time doing a small sink of dishes and even vacuumed a smaller carpet without stopping, which I was very happy if it would have helped and stopped their.
Every week I kept in touch with her. I got up to 20 drops am and pm so around 3 to 4 weeks....
I was PAIN FREE, now I pinched myself many times and also thought ya it's my mind..it's not working lol.
BUT IT WAS WORKING AND STILL IS TODAY!!
I am PAIN FREE AND OFF THOSE BAD MEDS!
My DR'S, my family and pain management, have told me to stay on the oil and don't look back!!!
I never want that pain back nor wish it on anyone.
Anyway I think it was my 2nd month of using Hempworx that I called my ANGEL back to find out how I could sell this liquid gold.
From that day I am trying to share with the world my story ♡♡♡
Sorry for the lengthy testimony.
Please if you try Hempworx cbd oil... the big thing is give it time. Stick with it and keep in touch with the person you purchased from, so we can see how you are doing and increase or decrease drops.
Everyone progresses differently.

Please feel free to share with the world.
HempWorx changed my life and hope it changes yours!!

WHAT ATIKU SAID ABOUT 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of plotting to disenfranchise Nigerians.

Atiku said this moments after the 2019 elections were formally shifted from 16 February to 23rd of the same month by the INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu.

But Atiku, who is President Buhari’s main challenger, urged Nigerians to exercise patience and not be provoked before the new dates announced for the exercise.

“This postponement is obviously a case of the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. By instigating this postponement, the Buhari administration hopes to disenfranchise the Nigerian electorate in order to ensure that turn out is low on the rescheduled date. Nigerians must frustrate their plans by coming out in even greater numbers on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively,” the former vice president said in a obtained by Concise News.

The INEC boss announced at about 2:40 a.m. Saturday that the election had been postponed, few hours to commencement of the polls.

Yakubu said the announcement came hours after a string of strategic meetings was held by top INEC officials to review preparedness for the exercise. It was concluded that a rash of logistics challenges that arose on Friday informed the postponement.

Read Atiku’s full statement below:

As you know, the Independent National Electoral Commission has announced a postponement of the elections until 23 February and 9 March respectively.

The Buhari administration has had more than enough time and money to prepare for these elections and the Nigerian people were poised and ready to perform their civic responsibility by voting in the elections earlier scheduled for Saturday, 16 February, 2019.

This postponement is obviously a case of the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. By instigating this postponement, the Buhari administration hopes to disenfranchise the Nigerian electorate in order to ensure that turn out is low on the rescheduled date. Nigerians must frustrate their plans by coming out in even greater numbers on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively.

Knowing that the Nigerian people are determined to reject them, they are desperate and will do anything in their power to avoid their rejection by the Nigerian people.

Their plan is to provoke the public, hoping for a negative reaction, and then use that as an excuse for further anti-democratic acts.

As such, I call on all Nigerians to be patient. We have tolerated the maladministration of this government for four years. We can extend our tolerance a few more days and give them our verdict via our votes.

Maintain the peace and be law abiding. Do not react to this provocation with anger, violence or any action that might be exploited by those who do not want this election to hold. Remain calm. We will overcome this. You can postpone an election, but you cannot postpone destiny.

Please come out to vote on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively. Frustrate those who do not want this election to hold by coming out in very large numbers. That is the best antidote to their plans.

May God bless you and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

UPROAR IN OYO OVER NON ISSUANCE OF PVCs as ALAAFIN WARNS INEC AGAINST DISENFRANCHISEMENT

07TH FEBRUARY, 2019.

PRESS RELEASE

UPROAR IN OYO OVER NON ISSUANCE OF PVCs as ALAAFIN WARNS INEC AGAINST DISENFRANCHISEMENT

With barely 8 days to the commencement of the general elections, there are complaints in Oyo metropolis which have come to the notice of the Alaafin of Oyo; that there is a great possibility of disenfranchisement of Thousands of eligible voters due to the non issuance of the PVC to the voters who have previously registered by the INEC at the various centers in Atiba, Oyo East, Oyo West local governments respectively in Oyo metropolis.
Unless something is urgently done by the INEC Headquarters thousands of eligible voters are sure to be disenfranchised for no fault of their own. The Alaafin of Oyo, is appealing to the governor of Oyo state that he should use his good offices to ensure that the good  people of Oyo Metropolis are not disenfranchised.

The Alaafin lamented that during the registration exercise he personally provided computers, laptops, and generator sets and fueling to assist the INEC officials to the various INEC registration center.

The eligible voters in Oyo Metropolis will be greatly disenfranchised and that will affect the electoral value of Oyo people who have long been desirous of voting at the general elections but the non availability of PVC after they have been issued the temporary voters card which will not be usable at the polls.
It is however unfortunate that even Ayabas, palace aides and their families and a large number of eligible voters will be disenfranchised if the date of collection of PVC for the forthcoming election remains as it is 8th of February, 2019.

Following uproar from eligible voters in Oyo metropolis who besieged the palace, the Alaafin Media Crew consequently visited INEC offices in Atiba, Oyo East, Oyo West local government to ascertain the veracity of the people’s complaints.

Though electoral officers of the three INEC offices could not be met as at press time, as they were said to be away on official assignments. Other officials met declined comments, saying they were not competent to speak on the matter.

However, His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr) Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, (J.P, C.F.R, LL.D), the Alaafin of Oyo has expressed strong indignation over the non issuance of PVC’s to eligible voters, saying “it is a deliberate attempt at disenfranchising large number of voters in Oyo metropolis.”

 Oba Adeyemi III who called on INEC to, as a matter of utmost concern, extend the deadline for the collection of PVC’s by atleast four days (4days).

This according to the Paramount Ruler, would not only afford large turnout of eligible voters in the metropolis to exercise their civic responsibilities during election periods, but it would give them a sense of belonging and dedication towards sustainable democratic governance.

ENCOURAGING KIDS TO TRY THEIR HANDS

Legendary

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision"- Muhammad Ali

Iku Baba Yeye is 48years

Congratulations, Iku!

HAPPY 48TH CORONATION ANNIVERSARY

Your Imperial Majesty, having spent forty-eight years on the ancestral throne of your forefathers, we give all glory to God.

Kabiyesi, within forty-eight years of your reign, you have worked with twelve presidents and heads of states and eighteen governors. Throughout their administrative period, you have preserved the reverence of the Empire.

You have brought inestimable transformation to the kingdom. You have kept and maintained the pristine culture and tradition of the Yoruba race.

Yorubaland and the Yorubas are proud of the glamour and glitz you have added to the rich ancestral heritage of the race.

You are one of Africa's most paramount rulers. The pivotal role you have played in guarding jealously the rich African culture is iconic and legendary.

As the Alaafin of Oyo, you have displayed uncommon stamina and rare courage in shouldering the huge responsibilities attached to your office. You have salvaged, in the time of need, your people from external aggression and unsolicited influences.

Alase Ikeji Orisa, you have braced through the storm and shown yourself as the real custodian of the cherished Yoruba history and culture. To say you are an enigma by every standard is an understatement; as many who had an interaction with you testified that a moment with you is like an exploratory adventure through school of history. You are a repository of knowledge and a moving encyclopedia. You are undoubtedly a monarch, not only with wit, but also with class.

Iku Baba Yeye, as you celebrate forty-eight years on the revered throne of Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race, our prayer for you is to live long in sound health and wealth, in order to champion the cause of the Yorubas and Oyo in particular. Long shall you live, Kabiyesi. Igba odun, odun kan ni.

Turning Pro

"Turning pro is a mindset.  If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc... the problem is, we're thinking like amateurs.  Amateurs don't show up.  Amateurs crap out.  Amateurs let adversity defeat them.  The pro thinks differently.  He shows up, he does his work, he keeps truckin', no matter what"
 ~ Steven Pressfield

Although Steven wasn't talking about marketing (he was an author and screenplay writer), his statements about the 'amateur' vs the 'pro' hold true in every field.

There's a fundamental difference in the way a professional operates vs how an amateur operates.

The pro shows up, even when he/she doesn't want to.
The pro produces, even when he/she doesn't have that 'spark of inspiration'.
The pro understands it's the skills that pay the bills -- not any particular sale.

If you really want to become successful in a self directed capacity (read: entrepreneur, small business owner, freelancer), you have to adopt the mindset of a professional.... nobody else is breathing down your neck to make sure you show up, do the work, and follow the process.

NEMESIS OF A DNAT TEST

HERE IS A SHORT MIND BLOWING STORY🤗

TITTLE: Nemesis Of A DNA Test:
 (Episodes 1)

  "You can't be serious, doctor. What are you saying?" I was in denial of the obvious.
  "I'm sorry Mr Onuoha, but you're not the biological father of your last three children. "
  "This must be an expensive joke."
  "DNA does not lie."
  "Doc, those children calls me Dad."
  "It doesn't make them your biological children. "
  I knew the doctor  wasn't lying. I only came to his hospital to reconfirm what a previous test had confirmed. Among my four children, only the first is my biological child.
  "Doctor Dibia, I've been the father of those children right from the time they were conceived. How could this happen to me?"
  "Kacy my friend, in this profession I've seen such cases many times. Some men will find out and choose to bury the secret because of shame, while some will take drastic measure."
  "I'm finished, doctor."
  "I'll advice you calm down and go home. Your wife has got some explanation to make."
  "Sure, Chioma has got some explanation to make. And it better be a reasonable one."
  What have I just said? A reasonable explanation? Can there be any explanation reasonable enough to justify this act? That I, Kelechi Onuoha, is not the biological father of Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego. Children that I love so much and loved their mother more each day for giving me three boys. I remembered when Abednego was born, I bought a brand new CRV four-wheel-drive for my wife in appreciation.
  Rant HQ has finished me. Suzan Ade Coker has ruined my life. Why did I even join that group? Oh Chioma! Chioma, you have killed me, Chioma. Ewu a ta m igu n'isi.
  I rushed out from the hospital, rushed into my car and drove off like the devil was after me. Anger was boiling in my stomach, pain was beating drum in my heart, and confusion was pounding yam in my head. In an instant I was becoming a miserable wreck.
  I'm coming,  Chioma.

FLASH BACK:
  It was about a week ago that my friend, Mr Gbenga, called me on whatsapp.
  "Omo Igbo," that was his usual hello.
  "Omo Yoruba," was my hi.
  "O boy, I want to add you to one crazy group like that."
  "What group is that?"
  "Where people rants two-four-seven and dey do amebo."
  "Amebo? Abeg add me sharperly."
  "There's something I would like you to read anyway."
  "Ok."
  Few minutes later, notification came on Facebook,  "Gbenga Ajayi added you to a close group, Rant HQ." Before I could click, another notification, "Gbenga Ajayi mentioned you in a post", followed by a message on messenger, "Please, go through the comments on that post."
  Something seriously needed my attention for Gbenga to have gone to this length. I opened the post, made by Suzan Ade Coker, which was asking men if they're sure of the paternity of their children and of the surprises a DNA test could reveal. What has this got to do with me? Why did Gbenga drag me to the post? I began to read the comments.
  Then, gbagam! I saw it. My beautiful wife, Chioma, was a member of the group. Her comment was attracting a lot of attention. It wasn't just a comment. She was practically raining fire and brimestone on the poster, accusing her of trying to break "happy" marriages. She asked for the post to be pulled down or her god will strike the poster.
  As I expected, members were attacking her. One said she was a suspect. The other said maybe her gateman was the father of her children. Another one  said she probably don't know who the real father or fathers of her children are. I couldn't believe what my wife was ranting. Why being so defensive if she was innocent?  Why spitting so much venom?
  Yes, her comment made her a suspect. Okwu ya achiputala ya ukwu n'ama. And I must get to the bottom of this.

BACK TO PRESENT:
  Wahala dey. Big wahala dey.

Episode 2??

BEING A LEADER IS ALL ABOUT CREATING CONNECTIONS

Being a leader is all about creating connections.

And while most people fixate on the ‘outside’ connections, if you want to be a leader the first connection you need to make is to yourself.

If you don’t understand who you are and what you stand for…

And you don’t live according to your stated principles…

Your odds of building a loyal, trusting following are nonexistent.

As Aristotle said: “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”

So, here are 3 ways to develop the self-knowledge required of a good leader:

1 – Define Your Core Values

If you’re a leader, whether in a large or small capacity, you’re going to be faced with some hard decisions.  

Roy Disney had a phrase “When values are clear decisions are easy.”

Understanding your core values provides a roadmap for decision-making.  

Not only does this help clarify things for you…

But it helps your teammates understand and predict what you’re going to do and why you’re going to do it – an unpredictable leader creates an environment of uncertainty and anxiety.

.

2 – Understand Your Temperament

Are you introverted or extroverted?  Do you prefer to be spontaneous or well-planned?  Are you intuitive or data-driven?

Understanding your temperament is important in understanding where you’re likely to be naturally energized, knowing how to communicate with people of different temperaments, and finding teammates who can make up for your weaknesses.

.

3 – Articulate Your Vision

Understand where you’re going, why you’re going there, how you’re going to get there.

What does success look like?  What are your win conditions?  What contribution do you want to make?

When articulate your vision, you need to ensure that it’s in alignment with both your values and your temperament.

Too often I see people who say they ‘want to make a difference’, but their vision is about laying on a beach in the Bahamas.

Or they’re an introvert trying to master the door-to-door game (a mistake I once made!).

In your role as a leader, it’s your primary job to get people rallied around your vision.  

If you can’t articulate it to yourself, you can’t communicate it to your team.

And if it’s not true to who you are, they’ll smell the incongruence from a mile away.

Every Parent Must Watch This.
