"Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood." Keke These were the comments from some of her fans: "🤔😅😍Sure your right! And they kept moving on!! It doesn't take much in today's society to be misunderstood!!!! Many people take comfort in being able to label people, to fit them in a category!! What happens when you don't fit neatly into their definition of what you should be or how you should act!!! It can be a very lonely place!! But one as you move on and gain more maturity! You will be proud of!! There is nothing wrong with being who you are/true to yourself!! As long as your not harming anyone!! You cannot please people!! That is the hardest job there is! If they think negatively of you! That's their problem, not yours!! Keep moving on, we all make mist

Every great entrepreneur once started from the bottom!!!  Do you know, before turning into a billionaire, Bill Gates needed to apply for a job just like us? A couple of years prior, Seattle’s Living Computer Museum had displayed Bill Gates’ resume at an event.

Under the Education section, it reads “Currently enrolled for first year at Harvard College.

In case you missed it, in July 2015, the Queen of England honoured 4 Nigerians as part of her inaugrual Young Leaders Awards. The only female Nigerian honoured, was Nkechikwu Azinge. Here’s why: Nkechikwu Azinge set up  the Sickle Cell Aid Foundation (SCAF) in Nigeria in 2010, to help people with the hereditary blood disorder, Sickle Cell Anaemia. The organisation encourages people to get tested to know their haemoglobin genotype, and has set up Sickle Cell Clubs in schools to inform and educate young people about the condition.  Nkechikwu talks about her work: “When I was younger I always heard about deaths attributed to Sickle Cell Anaemia (SCA), however it wasn’t until it struck close that I came to understand its implications. Watching family members and close friends undergo both physical and mental hardship due to the complications associated with this disorder spurred my interest to start the Sickle Cell Aid Foundation (SCAF), with the aim of reaching and assisting

“FRIENDSHIP IS KEY” Twenty years? Wow. It’s hard to believe that it’s been twenty years since Hollywood super couple, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith said “I do.” As she is gearing up to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary this December, Jada revealed the secret to the success of her two-decade union with her actor hubby. While explaining couples therapy has helped them through tricky patches in their marriage, the Girl’s Trip movie star said: “We celebrate twenty this year. I think the secret is just friendship.” And if you look at the couple in public or in documentaries, they like to have fun. Even with the latest “swamp story” that has gone viral, the couple are friends first. “You have to go off and find your happiness. The hardest thing to do is being married.” Having recently slammed rumors that her and Will were swingers, Jada admitted that the pair had attended couples therapy.

An interesting piece: "Put a frog into a vessel filled with water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjusts its body temperature accordingly. The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump, but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature. Very soon the frog dies. What killed the frog? Think about it! I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out. We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions. If

How to prevent Car Flooding... If you get advance warning of flooding, it's best to move your car to higher ground to reduce the risk of costly damage or the hassle of an insurance claim (if you have a comprehensive auto cover). 1. Only drive through water if you know that it's not too deep - generally this would mean no more than halfway up your wheels. 2. Don't try driving through fast-moving water, such as at a flooded bridge approach – your car could easily be swept away. 3. If you're driving and become stuck in flood water, it's generally best to stay in the car and  call for help rather than try to get out - unless the water is shallow, stationary and you can see the ground beneath the water. 4. If you return to find your car standing in flood water it's best to leave it and call for help or wait for the flood water to subside, rather than try to get to it and move it - unless the water is shallow, stationary and you can see the ground bene

What to do immediately after your vehicle has been flooded Vehicle Flood Damage Checklist 1. Survey potential damage. Note the depth of the floodwaters in relation to your car. Don't try to start your car — this will cause more damage if there is water in the engine. 2. Act quickly. Submersion in salt water — which is more damaging than fresh water — makes the chances of corrosion much higher. Start drying out your vehicle as quickly as possible, and contact a towing service to get it back to higher ground. Oil, transmission fluid and lube may need draining before a tow. 3. Look under the hood. This is where you'll find clues as to how extensive the flood damage may be. Unless you're an auto expert, you may want to partner with a mechanic for the following tasks: -Check the oil dipstick. Look for water droplets, which likely indicate that there is water in your engine. If that's the case, the cylinders, which are supposed to compress air instead of water,

THE GOVERNANCE DILEMMA: "You start (in office) when you are most popular and least capable. By the time you learn (to do) the job very well, it is almost time to go. You end leaving office when you are least popular and most capable." - Tony Blair - Kaduna: 13.07.2017

The pictures revealed the impact of the 3 hours heavy rainfall on the residents of Ibadan on Monday 17th July, 2017. A popular vegetables and beef market in Ring Road, Mobil Bus Stop was worst hit by the flood making it a hell of challenge for the market men and women to earn their day to day living. The ministry of environment has warned that more states in the federation will experience flooding this year. Earlier rainfall in Ibadan this year has destroyed some makeshift Bridges linking towns and villages making it difficult for pedestrian and commuters in Ibadan.

The son of Barrister Aremu Olugbenga Oladejo shared this amazing story about his Dad: "Today is one of those days that you look Wback and just have to glorify God. It has been a very interesting journey. My dad has always been known to be brilliant. He always wanted to be a lawyer but life happened and he sacrificed his education for others. He then went on to achieve a Masters Degree via a very long and winding route. Our family also went through periods of lack when people my family helped in the past ridiculed us. But something I learned from my dad is never to lose hope or become too anxious. Through it all, we maintained our dignity. My parents are not perfect, none of us are. But they understood the importance of dignity and education. This is why today, we can stand as a family without owing anyone but God. Growing up with parents that are teachers and badly paid was tough. It became even tougher when mom stopped working. Some people could not even stan

''I congratulate my political party, the Peoples Democratic Party, on the successful resolution of its leadership crisis by the Supreme Court of Nigeria. I believe in our jurists. We may have issues with some individuals but the Nigerian judiciary deserves our respect and commendation. They have served this country well.  Today's verdict is a judgment where there are no winners or losers. It is a verdict that will bring our party together. We should all thank the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  As I congratulate the Ahmed Makarfi led Caretaker Committee, I want to strongly urge them not to see this as a victory of a section of the party, but as a moral victory of constitutionality over arbitrariness. Thus, they must take inspiration from General Yakubu Gowon and declare a 'no victor and no vanquished policy'. As a senior member of the party, I hereby call on all those who left the party because of its

Business Mogul and econet wireless founder, Strive Masiyiwa as revealed in a Facebook post that he will be having a town hall meeting in Dar es Salaam the 12th day in July. Here is the blog post : Pause: Town Hall meeting in Dar es Salaam 12 July Let's meet! A few months ago I promised that whenever I travel to different countries, I would try to fit in a meeting with those of you on this platform based in that country. I'm sure you will understand that it doesn't mean I can do this each time I travel somewhere, as sometimes it's very difficult or inappropriate from a business perspective. But I have heard and appreciated your different requests over the years and I will try my best. I believe sharing ideas with each other is so important to the future of the African continent, and I really look forward to this direct engagement with each other. Some of you know that I did a Town Hall meeting in Rwanda recently which was really great. Last year I al

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (r) walks with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as they visit Olga Beach and water desalination unit operated by G.A.L. Water Technologies, near Hadera Israel During the visit the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked "Innovation is life. Israel is the 'innovation nation', so is India. Together we have tremendous potential, potential not only in markets but in creating new possibilities, new opportunities. We just saw this in crop protection or in water, the cleaning of water, or in energy, or in any field, in any field. My view is a simple one, and I know you share it. There is no difference between high technology and low technology. Everything will become technologized, just about everyt hing. So those countries that excel in innovation will lead the world. We are making a partnership here, a real one, to excel in innovation for both our peoples and for the entire world. I think
