The value of a good education

Have you ever attended any schools? The vast majority of people are able to answer yes, but not everyone is. The fact that untold millions of children do not attend school on a regular basis and that this situation has persisted for a significant amount of time has resulted in a sizeable population of adults who are illiterate. Having said that, a solid education is an essential requirement. The Holy Scriptures place a strong emphasis on the importance of cultivating wisdom.

Winners Schools provide the quality education that your children need to be great and responsible citizens, which will make them go beyond limits; hence, there are no limitations for Winners Schools kids.

 

For instance, in Proverbs chapter three verse twenty-one it says, “Guard your practical wisdom and your ability to think,” and in Proverbs chapter four verse seven it says, “Wisdom is the most important thing, so acquire wisdom, and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding.” A wide range of information and an in-depth comprehension are necessary components of wisdom. Wisdom is strengthened by understanding, which also makes a significant contribution to the discretion and foresight of a person, both of which are notable characteristics of wise people. The biblical understanding of wisdom places an emphasis on sound judgment, which is based on knowledge and understanding; the ability to use knowledge and understanding successfully in order to solve problems, avoid or avert dangers, achieve certain goals, or counsel others in doing so.

Bashir Ahmad amplifies Bayo Onanuga’s tweet saying Tinubu’s critics will quickly fade away.

0

On Sunday, President Muhammadu Buhari’s media advisor, Bashir Ahmad, amplified a tweet from Bayo Onanuga in which he predicted that Bola Tinubu’s critics would quickly fade away.

Your days are numbered, all you sons of bitches tweeting with the hashtags #TinubuTheDrugDealer #TinubuForPrison, Mr. Onanuga wrote in a tweet.

Mr. Ahmad retweeted Mr. Onanuga’s death wish for Mr. Tinubu’s detractors in agreement and support, amplifying and increasing its visibility to his 1.5 million Twitter followers.

Less than 24 hours after the State Security Service (SSS) warned politicians against making inflammatory statements, Mr. Onanuga expressed his desire for death for Mr. Tinubu’s detractors.

The SSS warned to deal with those making inflammatory and inciting statements in a statement released on Saturday.

“On the other hand, it is disturbing to see well-known people using their platforms to mislead or incite the public. This does not bode well for peaceful coexistence or general order, to put it mildly.

The SSS said in a statement on Saturday that it would “continue to take necessary measures to checkmate these elements who do not wish the country well.”

NIMASA, NCC partner on submarine cable regulation

0

In order to provide operational guidelines for Submarine Cable and Pipeline Operators in Nigeria, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) have decided to collaborate closely in the development of a regulatory framework.

A statement containing this was released on Sunday in Lagos and was signed by Mr. Osagie Edward, Assistant Director, Public Relations, NIMASA.

In a pre-audit meeting on submarine cable regulation, the representatives of the two organizations reportedly came to an agreement, according to the statement.

It quoted Dr. Bashir Jamoh, Director-General of NIMASA, who presided over the meeting, as saying that the organization was dedicated to making doing business easy while putting into practice international conventions that Nigeria had ratified and domesticated.

The time had come to stop the unauthorized laying of underwater cables, which could endanger shipping, as Nigeria was now a destination for international communication players, according to Jamoh.

It is important to note that in Nigerian waters, marine cable laying has been going on for more than 20 years.

“With all these underwater cables being laid, our main goal is to ensure the safety of shipping navigation in Nigerian waters.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea’s provisions are being followed as NIMASA develops the rules to regulate submarine cable operators (UNCLOS).

“We consult before implementing laws. The responsibilities of another Agency begin where one Agency’s responsibilities end, according to Jamoh.

He said that working together was essential to making it simple to conduct business in the nation’s best interests.

Jamoh promised that NIMASA would collaborate closely with the NCC to make this happen.

The statement also included a quote from Prof. Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, who said that the stakeholders’ dialogue strategy adopted by NIMASA in developing the guidelines would guarantee a win-win situation.

Jamoh immediately agreed to his request that NIMASA include the Ministry of Justice in the creation of the guidelines.

Efosa Idehen, the Director of Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement, acted as the representative for Danbatta.

The Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Mr. Dasuki Arabi, was quoted in the statement commending NIMASA and NCC for implementing successful inter-agency collaboration to avoid a potential challenge for the nation in the future.

You may remember that NIMASA had informed Nigerian submarine and cable operators of a regulatory guideline that would soon be put into effect for submarine cables and pipelines in Nigeria, in accordance with UNCLOS.

Representatives of Nigeria’s submarine cable operators and officials from the Federal Ministry of the Environment also attended the meeting.

PDP removes Ayu from his position as National Chair

0

Iyorchia Ayu has been removed from his position as national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which has resulted in his suspension from the party.

Benue state’s Igyorov Ward’s branch of the party’s executive committee is responsible for Ayu’s suspension from the party. This occurred in the Gboko Local Government Area (LGA).

Mr. Vangeryina Dooyum, the Ward Secretary, spoke to the media on Sunday on behalf of Kashi Philip, the Ward Chairman. He explained that Dr. Ayu was suspended by the Executive for alleged anti-party activities. Mr. Philip is the Ward Chairman.

According to the statement made by the Secretary, the decision to suspend the National Chairman was arrived at after the leadership analyzed his behavior following the conclusion of the general elections that had just taken place.

According to him, “We observed with the utmost dismay that, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu who is the National Chairman of the PDP worked against the success of the party in Igyorov Council Ward.” He said this was the case.

It is on record that he has also failed to pay his annual subscription fees as required by Section 8 (9) of the PDP 2017 Constitution (As Amended).

“Further investigation revealed that, during the Governorship and State Assembly Elections that were held on March 18, 2023, he did not cast a ballot in either of those elections.

“It was also found out that the majority of his closest allies worked for the opposition party, the All Progressive Congress, or APC, which explains why the People’s Democratic Party did so poorly in Igyorov Ward,”

“In light of the aforementioned, we have decided to cast a vote of no confidence in Dr. Iyorchia Ayu and to immediately suspend him from his membership in our party,” the statement read. “This action will take immediate effect.” Beginning on March 24, 2023, the suspension will go into effect.

On March 14, the Lagos division of the high court decided that Mr. Clement should receive N5 million in damages from the state government.

Mr. Sanwo-Olu stated in a series of tweets on Saturday that he was ready to make the payment, that he would uphold the law, and that he would defend the rights of the public.

He continued by saying that he had given the state’s attorney general, Moyosore Onigbanjo, the order to schedule a meeting in order to pay the damages determined by the court.

Good evening, Lagos. In my capacity as governor, I’m dedicated to upholding the rule of law and defending the rights of citizens with compassion and authority.

Following a review of Mr. Clement’s case, Mr. Sanwo-Olu stated, “I have instructed the Honorable Attorney General to schedule a meeting and pay him the compensation awarded by the Court.”

Nollywood actor counsels men to approach women with confidence

Yul Edochie, an actor in Nollywood, has advised men to maintain a high level of confidence whenever they approach women for the purpose of starting a relationship.

The famous movie star offered the piece of advice on his Instagram page (@yuledochie), and he said that developing one’s confidence as a man in approaching a woman is one of the best ways to ensure that one will end up with the ideal option.

According to him, being threatened by a woman’s success is not the best course of action. He also mentioned that some women are not interested in a man’s financial status but are more interested in his qualities, logic, personality, and appearance.

He went on to say that a man should not be prevented from expressing his feelings by a lady’s wealth, particularly when he was truly in love.

” If she is wealthy and you are not, but you like her anyway, you should tell her that you like her. Shishi no dey your side.

“The caliber of the man, including his reasoning, behavior, and looks, can captivate the attention of certain women.

“Tell her how you feel; she will either say yes or no to what you’re asking, but she won’t kill you.

“As a human being, regardless of your financial situation, you should strive to maintain a healthy level of self-confidence.

Even just your self-assurance can win her favor, ‘Money is not everything,’ as the saying goes.
