it's only in Nigeria there will be two very bad choices of president and you won't still believe it is time for revolution. All things being equal, this contraption can never work, the earlier we tell ourselves the truth, the better. It's much easier to manage a class of 10 students than a class of 100.

DOLAPO AKITOYE writes on the suitability or otherwise of inviting one’ s ex to one’ s wedding. The Royal Wedding is one of the most discussed events so far this year. It was a moment of excitement and celebration to watch Prince Harry tie the knot with Meghan Markle , a divorced American actress . It was a monumental ceremony carefully monitored by many people across the world . There were about 600 guests who got a chance to watch the wedding; among them were Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas , the ex- girlfriends of Prince Harry. While this may seem strange to some, it is not new to the royal household. Prince William had at least four of his exes during his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011 and his father , Prince Charles also had his ex, Camilla Bowles ( who is now his current wife) at his wedding to Princess Diana in 1981. However , the development did not stop a debate on social media on the appropriateness or otherwise in inviting one’ s ex to one ’s wedding. According to a psychologist at the University of Ibadan , Prof. Peter Olapegba, inviting one ’ s ex to one ’s wedding depends on a number of factors . He said , “ One , it depends on the nature of the breakup – the things that led to it and all of that – and if it was not a nasty breakup and one is still friendly with one’ s ex, then such person can be invited . However , this can be done , provided the partner and his or her family is aware that the ex is being invited . As long as they are sure that the relationship is strictly platonic , then , it can be done . People can break up and remain friends and if this is the case, then there is nothing wrong with inviting them. ” A man in his late twenties, Ebuka Obimma, agreed with Olapegba’s assessment of the issue . He noted that he would be comfortable inviting his exes to his wedding because he still maintained a friendship with them. “ Yes, I will invite my ex to my wedding because I ’m still friendly with them and most of them are married , ” he said . He also stated that he would be comfortable if his partner decided to do the same because he trusted her. Obimma added that he attended the wedding ceremonies of some of his exes and he felt almost like attending a friend ’ s wedding. A woman in her early twenties, Dayo Olaoluwa, also shares the same thoughts on the issue. She explained that she would invite her ex to her wedding because they ended their relationship on a good note. She stated , “ We are friends and I don ’t see anything wrong in inviting him to come and celebrate with me and watch me marry the real love of my life. ” However , regarding her partner inviting his ex to their wedding, she said she would only be fine with such if she was sure that his ex no longer had any romantic ties with her. While there are those who do not see any problem with an ex being invited to their wedding, there are those who believe that it is an inappropriate thing to do . A marriage counsellor, Pastor Oseyomon Robert , said inviting one ’s ex to one’ s wedding was not a good thing to do. He told our correspondent that it was not advisable to do so. “ Marriage is a stage above friendship. The person one is going to spend the rest of one ’ s life with is more important than a previous lover, so one should not jeopardise one’ s relationship, ” Robert said . On her part, Mrs . Bola Irabor said she didn ’t invite her ex to her wedding. According to her , naturally , she doesn ’ t keep in touch with her exes . Irabor stated , “ That is my own policy and when I noticed that my husband was still talking to his ex when we had started dating, I made it known that I didn ’t like it and wouldn ’t appreciate it and he agreed to it . If you want your ex , stay with her and don ’t drag me into it . But if you say you are done with her, then be done . ” A woman in her early twenties, Millicent Akinwande, also said she couldn ’t invite her exes to her wedding because “ they are not in my life anymore; so, I really don ’ t care about them. ” Olapegba was of the view that inviting one’ s ex to one ’ s wedding could lead to suspicion and destroy the trust between new couples . Akinwande also supported Olapegba’s position . She noted that though she was not insecure, her partner’ s decision to invite his ex to their wedding would make her wonder why he took such a decision. Akinwande added, “ I would not be comfortable with my partner inviting his ex because I ’ d start wondering how cool he is with his ex to invite her to one of the biggest events of his life . I wouldn’ t be comfortable with it because this is someone he once had a romantic affair with and I ’ ll be spending the rest of my life with him .” For Ibrahim Ayenajeh, despite the fact that he would like to believe that he could be comfortable with it, he just wouldn’ t like the idea of inviting his ex to his wedding. Another man, Daniel Ogor - Igbosuah, said he would only be comfortable with his partner inviting her ex to their wedding if the ex was either married or they were platonic friends . Olapegba further said if one’ s partner wouldn ’t be comfortable with one ’s ex being around on one ’ s wedding day , the best thing was not to invite him or her . He said , “ Doing so, knowing your partner will not like it , can lead to suspicion. The safest thing is not to invite the ex. But if you are going to do it at all , let your partner know and keep the trust intact . ” Also, Robert advised partners not to mix their old lives with new ones . https://www.motivate.com.ng/2018/08/before-you-invite-your-ex-to-your.html |
Since the inception of this awesome column, one major area that attracts questions daily is about premature ejaculation . In spite of the numerous solutions and cure given over the past ten years, the question, ‘ How do I delay ejaculation ?’ has not stopped popping up every now and then . There are others like: ‘ Premature ejaculation is tearing my marriage apart; how do I go about weak erection ? My girlfriends leave me as soon as they discover I cannot maintain good erection ! This quick ejaculation is embarrassing and killing! I want a permanent solution to erectile dysfunction. What else can be done before another man starts fathering all my children? My wife left me for a man with bigger penis. I envy my friends who boast about going for close to 15 minutes at a go during sex. I have never experienced second round of sex even if all protocol is observed , help me. I am not married because I cannot be a man on bed !’ The list is endless, so in view of the above , we shall be looking at some natural ways to prevent all of the above right from childhood ; how to prevent it in adulthood and also how to handle the worst case scenario. To kick the ball rolling, parents should teach their male child to hold and wee while in the bathroom; as soon as the boy child tries to wee by himself. This is very important . When a boy child learns from cradle how to hold urine for a moment, 90 per cent of ejaculation problem is already controlled . And 60 per cent of penis sensitivities has been developed, the ability to regulate ejaculation and activate penis sensitivities has been stimulated already. Increase sexual stamina is also being established . As it been said over and again, premature ejaculation or ejaculating before you or your wife wanted you to , is a common problem that strikes most men at all ages and at some point, in their lives . Sometimes we do not have any medical condition, this condition just happens. For a quick fix , I suggest you just wear a condom or two together at the same time as the case may require . It sounds too simple to be true, but it works for a lot of men . The most natural is to apply strategic pressure, with a little anatomy knowledge ; you can delay an oncoming ejaculation by applying pressure to one of two spots. First is the perineum pressure: this is pressing on the perineum ( perineum is a spot midway between your scrotum and your anus ) and firm pressure will help to stop ejaculation because this spot reaches through to the prostate gland. It is the prostate that contracts and expands during orgasm and then expels the ejaculation fluid. If you find it difficult to do just that , make sure you are very clean down there and thereafter, request your wife to assist in applying this loving pressure for you . Then the testes tug: When a man is so close or very near orgasm, his scrotum rises up closer to his body. You can delay ejaculation by gently pulling your testes down and away from your body . To make it more romantic and passionate , teach and train your wife to do this for you . Another natural way is to do all you can to reduce anxiety. For many husbands, extreme willingness to overimpress their wives , coupled with anxiety and pressure to perform has been a major contributor to premature ejaculation . Just relax and remember that your wife probably cares about you and all you represent in her life more than the timing of your orgasms, and that premature ejaculation doesn ’t mean you can’ t still be good in bed . Then don’ t start off sex with orgasm in focus please. Take the slogan ‘I must by all means climax’’ out of your expectations. Forget the fact that you have to also impress your friends; many of their sexual prowess they want you to believe never really happens. Most times , they are the ones that are actually impotent . Stop viewing sex as only a means of achieving orgasm. Instead of viewing intercourse only as a means of achieving orgasm , reframe it as relaxing , pleasurable time with your adorable wife and season of bonding that you ’ll enjoy regardless of ejaculation. This mindset helps your whole body to coordinate and perform beyond your expectations. For effectiveness, take time out and have a one -on - one teete - a-tee - with your wife and discuss this new mindset with her, so that she can stop pressuring you, intentionally or un -intentionally . Then while in the very act of sex, do all you can to think nonsexual thoughts . If you notice yourself getting too excited, turn your thoughts to something distant , abstract and unsexy , such as math, rush hour traffic or football match, the recent news. Only dwell on it long enough to give yourself a short break from arousal; maybe five to 10 seconds, and then refocus your attention on your wife and the action of sex. Avoid thinking of a topic that is going to make you stressed or cause you to lose your arousal entirely . Thoughts such as the payment of the children school fees , Nigeria’ s erratic power supply or some mood killer thoughts. Now proceed further and try edging. Edging , or orgasm control , is the practice of maintaining a high level of sexual arousal while delaying ejaculation . It takes practice, but it gets easier over time . Stop -and - start method : Have intercourse as usual until you feel yourself coming uncomfortably close to orgasm. Immediately and abruptly cease all stimulation for 30 seconds , and then start again . Repeat this pattern until you ’ re ready to ejaculate . Squeeze method: Have intercourse as usual until you feel like orgasm is seconds away. Abruptly stop other stimulation and gently squeeze your thumb and forefinger around the part of the penis where the glans meets the shaft ( or your wife could do this ) . After squeezing for a few seconds, try and pause all stimulation for another 30 seconds before resuming intercourse. Repeat this pattern until you ’re ready to ejaculate . Then try and change sexual positions . Some intercourse positions put less pressure on the glans ( or the most sensitive part of the penis) . Here ’s what to do: Try “ passive” positions . Lie beneath your wife or try a side - by- side (or spooning ) position . Avoid “ active” positions such as missionary and rear- entry positions ; these ones place the most stimulation and friction on the glans, so consider taking them off the menu for now. And then take it slowly. Depending on your personal sensitivity , slowing your movements and opting for gentler , more teasing intercourse can help you hold off orgasm longer. If you find yourself getting too close to orgasm, slow down a bit , change to a new position , or take a break to stimulate your wife in pre-intimacy. Make sure you focus on pre-intimacy. Sometimes “ premature ” is a frame of mind. Even if your ejaculation comes quickly during intercourse, you can still give your wife a great sexual experience through more extended, intimate, attentive and generous pre-intimacy. Stimulate your wife enough manually, orally or with some healthy toys , and she may not need or want a long session of intercourse to finish happy. Then of course , do PC muscle exercises . Flexing and strengthening your pubococcygeus ( PC) muscle can help you exert more control over ejaculation . (Note that this is also called Kegel exercises , which you might have heard me recommend for women . The muscle is the same in both sexes. ) Locate your PC muscle . Put one or two fingers right behind your testicles . Pretend that you are urinating , and then try to stop the flow with a quick muscle contraction. That muscle you just used to stop the flow from the bladder is your PC muscle . Flex the muscle regularly . Try to do 10 to 20 squeezes in a set , two or three times a day. Do a set whenever you ’re bored or stationary , like when you’ re sitting at your desk or in traffic . No one will be able to see that you’ re doing them. Squeeze your PC muscle when you feel ejaculation coming on . Once the muscle is strong enough , you should be able to hold it off just like stopping flow when urinating . Practise controlling your orgasm. When you are with your wife, focus on improving your control over your climax . Stimulate yourself to the edge of climax and then stop. Do this several times before finishing . As you practise , learn to recognise the feeling of getting close to orgasm, and take note of how close you can get and still effectively stop, and when you ’ ve reached a “ point of no return .” During intercourse, use that knowledge to slow down or adjust your movements if you get too close too early . On average , 50- 95 per cent of men using sexual techniques manage to overcome PE eventually. There is a risk of relapse if there are significant changes in your sexual life ( e. g. you got a divorce, lost your wife, in a different relationship , stressful event ), especially if you feel anxious . Condoms reduce stimulation for most men, which should prolong the time before ejaculation . But while looking for a condom to buy , steer clear of condoms that are marketed as extra thin . Instead get a brand that allows more stimulation later. Some condoms are coated with a slight numbing gel on the inside . This can help you put off ejaculation for longer without causing numbness to your wife . ( Just make sure you know which side is where when you put it on . ) Use an analgesic cream or spray . There are two classes of these products . The first is the traditional “ numbing ” creams and sprays that have been in the market for some time . The advantage is that you ’ll feel less sensation, which will delay ejaculation . While the disadvantage is that your wife may suffer a loss of sensation as well and of course less sensitive intercourse is not always an appealing notion, even in these circumstances . There is a new class of topical herbs that absorb into the skin to deliver a mild anesthetic to the sensory nerves below the top layer of skin of the penis. This allows men to have ejaculatory control but with less loss of sexual sensation and reduces the transference to their wives. If you routinely ejaculate less than a minute and a half after beginning vaginal intercourse, and none of the above fixes has worked, it might be time to see a sex therapist , but before then , I need you to know that there are still close to 50 different ways to treat premature ejaculation and you may need to try them to find one that works for you. When you keep trying , you will eventually discover which works best for you . If you once in six months experience premature ejaculation , it may be as a result of stress or illness. Ejaculation can be considered premature when it occurs 30 seconds to eight minutes into sex , depending on different cultures , countries and your personal experience with practice . However , it is globally agreed by the body of sex therapists experts and sexologists that that any sexual intercourse lasting less than five minutes can be considered premature ejaculation. I also need my readers to know that there are two types of premature ejaculation : lifelong ( or primary ) and acquired ( secondary ) ............................ https://www.motivate.com.ng/2018/09/natural-ways-you-can-delay-ejaculation.html |
Touch screens are great when they work, but when a touch screen stops working, all that ease of use goes out the window and frustration sets in very quickly. The biggest problem is that with some devices , the touch screen is the only way you have of interacting with your phone or tablet . According to Lifewire , when that suddenly goes away, it can feel like you are totally locked out of your device altogether . While there are cases where an unresponsive touch screen calls for professional repairs , there are a number of steps , from easy to advanced, that you can take to get things working again . Basic fixes for a touch screen that does not work 1. Clean the screen with a lint- free cloth . 2. Restart your device. 3. Remove your case or screen protector. 4. Make sure your hands are clean and dry and that you are not wearing gloves. Regardless of your experience level , there are some basic , easy fixes that you can try when your touch screen stops working. The first thing to try is to clean the screen and your hands . Touch screens don ’t work that well when they are wet or dirty , and they can also appear unresponsive if your fingers are wet , dirty , or covered by gloves. If there is any liquid on the screen, or any other substance like dirt or food, the first step is to clean it off . If that does not do the trick , then turning the device off and back on again will often solve the problem. This is also known as rebooting , and the process is a little different from one device to the next. Cleaning an unresponsive touch screen device In some cases, a touch screen will stop responding properly due to built up dirt and grime or problems with the case or screen protector. Since this is pretty easy to either deal with or rule out, it is a good idea to give your device a thorough cleaning if a reboot did not do the trick . 1. Clean your hands or put on clean gloves . 2. Wipe the touch screen with a lint- free cloth . The cloth may be dry or wet . 3. Never use a sopping wet cloth . 4. Always wring your cloth out before using it on a touch screen . 5. If the touch screen still does not work, removing the screen protector or case may help. 6. You may need to clean the screen after removing the screen protector if it was damaged . 7. Take off your gloves, as touch screens don’ t work well through gloves . 8. Make sure your fingers are clean and dry as well since wet fingers often result in an unresponsive touch screen. Restarting a device with an unresponsive touch screen It may sound pretty basic , but when your touch screen stops working, simply restarting your iPhone , Android, or laptop is usually all it takes to fix the problem. The issue here is that with most devices , turning off or restarting involves interacting with the screen in some way . For instance, you may be used to touching the power button and then tapping a confirmation screen on your phone. Since that is not an option when your touch screen has stopped working, you will have to use a device- specific shutdown or restart procedure. If the touch screen still does not work after restarting the device, then move on to the next step. Intermediate fixes for an unresponsive touch screen 1. Dry the device out if it got wet. 2. Tap the edges if the device was dropped . 3. Remove memory and sim cards. 4. Disconnect peripherals like USB devices. If your device has suffered some damage, like if it was dropped or got wet , then fixing it is a little more complicated . The steps are still pretty easy to follow, but if you are not comfortable trying to dry out your iPhone , then it is best left to the professionals . Another slightly more complicated fix for a touch screen is to simply turn the device off and remove all of the sim cards , memory cards and peripherals. The reason this can be complex is that these cards are sometimes difficult to remove , and you have to put them back in one at a time to figure out which one was the problem. Remove the SIM card, memory card, peripherals While it is less common, problems with SIM cards, memory cards, and peripherals can sometimes cause touch screen problems in Android and Windows devices. 1. Fully power down and unplug your device. 2. Remove the SIM card and any memory cards if your device is a phone . 3. Unplug peripherals like USB devices if your device is a laptop or tablet . 4. Reboot your device and test the operation of the touch screen . 5. If the touch screen works , try replacing each thing you removed one at a time until you identify the cause of the problem . How to hard reboot an unresponsive touch screen Rebooting an iPhone , or forcing it to shut down and turn on again , without access to the touch screen involves pushing a combination of buttons. According to Lifewire, the specific combination depends on the age of the phone. For iPhone 6s and older models with a clickable home button: 1. Press and hold both the home button and the power button . 2. Release the buttons when you see the Apple logo on the screen . For iPhone 7 and newer: 1. Press and hold both the power button and the volume down button . 2. Release the buttons when you see the Apple logo on the screen . Android phone or tablet. Forcing an Android device to restart when the touch screen does not work can be a little different from one device to the next ( like on a Samsung phone versus a Google phone), but it is usually a pretty simple process. 1. Press and hold the power button until the screen turns black . 2. You may need to hold the button for 10 or more seconds 3. If the phone does not automatically turn back on, wait about a minute and press the power button again. https://www.motivate.com.ng/2018/09/how-to-fix-screen-that-doesnt-respond.html |
A recent study has suggested that wearing looser underpants could be a simple way for men to improve their sperm count and the hormones that control it . In a study of 656 men, by researchers at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in the United States , boxer short wearers had a 25 per cent higher sperm concentration than men in tight- fitting underwear. The experts , according to the BBC , said this simple lifestyle change could improve men ’s fertility as cooler temperatures around the testicles improve men ’s sperm count . Scientists noted that sperm production was known to be sensitive to temperatures above 34 degrees Centigrade, which explained why the testicles hang down away from the body . Some styles of underpants bring the scrotum nearer to the body , thereby causing the testicles to warm up, while others, such as boxer shorts , are loose and cooler. In the largest study of its kind to date, the researchers found men attending a fertility clinic with loose- fitting boxer shorts had higher sperm concentration, a 17 per cent higher total sperm count and 33 per cent more swimming sperm than men with tighter -fitting underwear . The researchers, however, noted that the sperm shape wasn’ t affected and neither was the quality of the DNA. They took into account other factors that can affect sperm , including age, body mass index and habits , such as smoking and use of hot tub , and speculated that the higher heat inside the pants was the root of the problem. The study , which was published in the journal, Human Reproduction , also found that a hormone from the brain that tells the testicle to make sperm, called follicle stimulating hormone , was 14 per cent lower in wearers of loose underwear . The findings suggest that this hormone kicks into gear when it needs to compensate for increasing scrotal temperatures and decreasing sperm counts in tight underwear . A professor of Andrology from the University of Sheffield, Prof. Allan Pacey , who was not involved in the study , said the different levels of FSH among men with different types of underwear suggested that the tight -pant wearers had evidence of testicular damage . https://www.motivate.com.ng/2018/09/how-to-fix-screen-that-doesnt-respond.html |
It saddens my heart whenever I think about the deplorable state of education in Nigeria. How did we find ourselves in this mess? We look up to countries that are doing fine in technology, infrastructure, economy, and still we do not seem to know the secrets of their successes and breakthroughs. Without wasting much time, I will like to open our eyes to some things that we most times ignore. UNESCO (United National, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), few years ago encouraged countries to put 26% of their budget in education every year. Who wouldn’t know it is an avenue to deliver most of these countries from backwardness that have plagued them. Unfortunately, many of these backward countries who still look at advanced countries as paradise are yet to fulfill such obligation. One of these countries is Nigeria who spends not more than a 10% of their budget on education every year. Who did we offend? I have been searching for opportunities online for some days now, and I discovered a particular trend that is very worrying. The popular developed countries that we know, like China, Japan, US, UK, Singapore, Germany and many more spend a lot on education, most especially researches. I tried to relate this with their level of development and I discovered that their technological advancement may not be outside their resolution to fund education and researches. Also, these countries dish out a lot of scholarships every year in order to cart away the best of other countries which we may identify as “Brain Drain”, and these researchers are also happy to leave their countries. (Who wouldn’t anyway). However, the undeveloped and developing countries hardly care about education, researches and mostly care about politics. This made me remember “GIGO” – “Garbage in, Garbage Out”, whereby whatever you sow you reap or whatever you spend on, you get result. One of these is the current launch by Tesla to study the surface of the Sun (Corona), where they spent close to $1.5 billion. How could they have spent such kind of money on studying what is not on earth here while my country could only spend that kind of money on politics and elections? “Whatever you put your strength in that is where you get result” What saddens me most is the minimum requirement to get a good job in Nigeria which is not even certain, and the minimum requirement to be a governor or a president. Do I need to remind you that all you need to become a governor or president in Nigeria is a WAEC certificate and you will be expected to rule over millions of Nigerians, while you need a first degree with strong grade to get a good job in a reputable company if at all? Do you think it will be difficult to manipulate a president or governor with a WAEC certificate in the 21st century just to steal public funds? Funny enough, most of these politicians don’t even have this WAEC certificate or the certificates are forged. How do you expect such a person to lead engineers, lawyers, doctors, professors effectively? Does that not indicate the level of importance we put in our education that is lying in shambles. What injustice do we have when it is possible that a president we employed and are to pay for four years didn’t partake in NYSC while the law says all government employees must take part in NYSC? Is law actually blind? I believe laws are made for men and men are not made for laws. Why should a Bachelor Holder, Masters Holder or Doctor who took part in NYSC have the same salary with a WAEC holder who didn’t serve and became president? Is such law fair? Is a president no more an employee of the government and is to serve the people while his salary comes from these same people that took part in NYSC. How could a president or governor with WAEC cope in the comity of nations where some country leaders even have more than three degrees? How do you want to bring in ideas or coin intelligent words? While certificate doesn’t make one intelligent in real sense, education does. Even those that dropped out of colleges to be successful are educated but not with certificates. Education is far different from what you are taught in the four walls of a classroom, however, school still remains a good medium to being educated. Education opens your eyes wide and makes you reasonable. It shows how intelligent you are and how flexible you can be to proffer solutions to problems. My dear Nigeria, this foundation you lay your education on is very weak and shallow, it is a time bomb waiting to explode; it has a limit to which it can contain your servitude, it will soon erode like a house built on sand, and it will soon wash away like a road without drainage. Make education your priority, spend on it, value it, make it need-based, and make sure it suits your current needs. I am of the opinion of the need for professional institutions where people can learn directly what they love; where they can practice what they want, what of Federal University of Automobile engineering, Institute of Baking, School of Oceanography, University of Computer Programming; this will address the noise of Nigerian graduates being unemployable. It is either we do it now or never. We must make the right priorities. Let us restructure education. Finally, it’s high time the constitution is reviewed to address the insult of WAEC to be a minimum requirement to be a governor or president when you can’t use that to work in a good company with a good pay. Nations tend to laugh at us and take us to be unserious. While I know those that made the constitution did it to suit themselves because they don’t have more than that, this has therefore made them have no life outside politics. Should they be sent out of politics, they remain nothing. They have no establishment of their own; all they ever lived on is politics and her money. Even when you demand for these certificates, they rather go to court to defend themselves and ask the court not to allow you ask for their certificate. What a Shame!!!!!!!! There is the need for an outcry on this. We can’t continue like this. No bachelor, no governorship no presidency. www.motivate.com.ng |

Close to my final year in the University, I was very young then and getting a good amount of money from all angles. One long time uncle from nowhere will just call from space, explaining his attachment to my dad and how he has been fond of me. Next he asks for my account number and 'gbam', alert comes in, I have been credited with a good amount. Similarly to those I called when I got admitted to the university and was lacking school fees. They all couldn't help out then, they keep posting me and ask me to return at another time all to no avail. Now they all calling in as if they knew I would soon be through, get a job, start making money and give back to them. So why didn't they do it earlier. I was less concerned about their change in attitude anyway, rather, I was more interested in the money coming from all angles. I finally thought I had made it, I was just 23 then and I could boast of more than a hundred thousand naira. While some went to my final year project, a large crunch of it also went into frivolities. I took good care of my friends too whenever they visited. I had more than a girlfriend, I was able to satisfy them financially. Everyone was happy. Fast forward to the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), the government had no choice than to pay me monthly, what a free money. My place of primary assignment, a company which was doing fine was also paying me well, accommodating me and even feeding me. Then was the best part of my life. I changed girlfriends at will and make sure they do fine, and also know I can take care of them. My friends also enjoyed from the free money I was getting from all angles then. How I wished the moment never ended. NYSC soon ended and all that was left in my account was a meager #5000 which was enough to take me back home and get the popular Butterfield bread for the family. Everyone was happy I was back, safe and healthy. I started to apply for jobs, submit CVs but no positive reply. My presence at home started to worry everyone, before I knew it, my parents were reminding me of how they sent me to school and even had to take care of me after NYSC. I became a burden to everyone. Rather than give out, I still demanded. Now I am back to washing their cars in the morning, doing the dish at night since no job yet to keep me busy. It was then reality dawned on me. I had no savings, nothing to fall back on, I always thought the money I was getting would continue, I never knew this time would come. I started to remember how even strangers gave me money while in my final year. But now, I even borrow to print copies of my CV. I learnt nothing during the dry days to prepare for the rainy days. I never knew the money I was getting were seeds to be planted, and not fruits to be eaten. They were just coming for me to use and prepare for the next stage of life. I forgot that time is mobile and not stationary. I never believed what was happening at the moment. How did I not save when money was coming in. How come I didn't invest, why did I not plan, what made me not to learn any skill. How could I not talk sense to myself. It was so bad I ate all my seeds. Now, no seeds and no fruits but the lesson is learnt already, however, in a hard way.

Last week was a very big one in my life, a gigantic mole of mountain to climb, a zenith of understanding to scatter, a piece of memorizing to do and an application of wisdom to perfect. Such a small boy I was, how could I have seen 'something' bigger than me. I saw 'something' beyond me, 'something' that could have taken my life away in a blink, how do I survive such experience, who could have deciphered such moment, who would have wanted to help me through the wilderness of what I saw, then I knew life is unfair. Truly, all fingers are not equal. Why didn't the world big men get a share of what I saw. Why the little poor me who has a little knowledge about life. Why not those that have traveled through the corners of the earth, why not those that control riches and wealth, why not the most powerful people on earth and why not the most influential people on the continent, why must I be the one to see such a thing. It was beyond my knowledge and thought the richest man on earth, Jeff Bezos could have an answer. Jeff Bezos is the owner of the popular online marketing forum, Amazon. He is worth more than a ninety billion dollars, some billions away from the former richest Bill Gates. He was on a walk with a robot right beside him when we conversed. Good day sir, i saw 'Something' , so big and marvelous, more than what someone of my age could comprehend. With your wealth of business acumen, can you please help me out with this. He wore a frown face, took a deep breath and imagined how i would have felt if he had no explanation. I got the cold message that chilled down my spine, an unexpected one, he had no idea of what I saw. Then I discovered that being rich doesn't make you know everything. I thought of Bill Gates. He also has a wealth of experience both in riches and business, then he should have an explanation. I got to the popular Microsoft office where I met him and Melinda, what a happy family. They have almost everything at their disposal and might not only have power over death. They are an auspicious couple and one to behold especially for their acts of philanthropy. Then I knew I needed not go anywhere else for my answer than here. I presented what I saw to him, much of his nature is calmness, I was more marveled at his reaction when he saw it, he almost mentioned few words until he gave me the usual rhetorics, he couldn't explain what he saw. My journey never ended there. I went to the popular Silicon Valley, where most world controlling tech companies are located. Luckily, I was able to reach the popular owner of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg to unravel the mystery behind what I saw. Mark is a handsome young man, not too tall and not short, he is lively and very introverted. No wonder he is that intelligent I believed. I went straight into the business of the day, which was to show him what I saw and get an answer to the jigsaw puzzle. His response was daunting. He almost said something until he told me he had no idea. Now I knew what I saw was beyond my knowledge. I knew I was really in a big trouble. I then branched at the popular Google company to see Larry Page himself. He has through his establishment answered so many questions, both meaningful and stupid. Should someone want to piss, he might open Google to ask how to do it. Definitely, this is the right place to be. I met him at late hours, no thanks to his busy schedule. He eventually attended to me and tried to break it down. He slotted into Google, options came but no right answer. He told me to try again while I saw in his eyes he had no answer. I just thought, why not go and meet the world most powerful president, Donald Trump. There is another life inside the White House. Security in there is top notch and I was almost losing my temper and hope before I met the president of America. I believed I have gotten the mystery behind what I saw. Trump is the man who contested the presidency with Hillary Cliton in a fairly contested election. He was sworn in after the tenure of Barrack Obama of the Democratic party. There was a table set up, filled with all types of assorted delicacies which might not be found in popular places in Nigeria. After a sumptuous meal with the world president, then came the business of the day. President sir, here is what i saw, world renowned persons have no idea of what i saw. Can you kindly help out, sir? He looked keenly for several minutes at what I saw, called his myriads of aides and advisers for proper dissection. All tried their opinions but it was all very opposite of what i saw, no clear explanation and had to tell me to try somewhere else. I was so downcast and knew all hope to explain what I saw is gone. Even the most powerful people on earth couldn't explain what I saw. I returned home in a sober mood and took my time to reflect on what I saw. After much perusal of what I saw, despite my pristine knowledge of life, I was eventually able to decode what I saw. I felt so happy and elated. So I could have done this without anybody. I could have seen what the Gates of the world couldn't see. I never knew strength is not in size, but in one self. So the 'Something' that I saw was actually 'Nothing'. Who could have seen 'Nothing' and explained anything. Able Lincoln check more on www.adebiyiabiola.com.ng |
Who is Bill Gates? ............. ..................... Early on in his life, Gates observed that his parents wanted him to pursue a law career. The family encouraged competition; one visitor reported that "it didn't matter whether it was hearts or pickleball or swimming to the dock ... there was always a reward for winning and there was always a penalty for losing". At 13, he enrolled in the Lakeside School, a private preparatory school. When Gates was in the eighth grade, the Mothers' Club at the school used proceeds from Lakeside School's rummage sale to buy a Teletype Model 33 ASR terminal and a block of computer time on a General Electric (GE) computer for the school's students. Gates took an interest in programming the GE system in BASIC , and was excused from math classes to pursue his interest. He wrote his first computer program on this machine: an implementation of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against the computer. Gates was fascinated by the machine and how it would always execute software code perfectly. When he reflected back on that moment, he said, "There was just something neat about the machine." Gates was a National Merit Scholar when he graduated from Lakeside School in 1973. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) and enrolled at Harvard College in the autumn of 1973. He chose a pre-law major but took mathematics and graduate level computer science courses. While at Harvard, he met fellow student Steve Ballmer. Gates left Harvard after two years while Ballmer would stay and graduate magna cum laude. Years later, Ballmer succeeded Gates as Microsoft's CEO. He maintained that position from 2000 until his resignation from the company in 2014. Gates did not have a definite study plan while he was a student at Harvard, and he spent a lot of time using the school's computers. Gates remained in contact with Paul Allen, and he joined him at Honeywell during the summer of 1974. The decision The MITS Altair 8800 was released the following year. The new computer was based on the Intel 8080 CPU, and Gates and Allen saw this as the opportunity to start their own computer software company. Gates dropped out of Harvard at this time. He had talked over this decision with his parents, who were supportive of him after seeing how much their son wanted to start his own company. Gates explained his decision to leave Harvard, saying "...if things [Microsoft] hadn't worked out, I could always go back to school. I was officially on [a] leave [of absence]." The name Microsoft After Gates read the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics , which demonstrated the Altair 8800, he contacted Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), the creators of the new microcomputer, to inform them that he and others were working on a BASIC interpreter for the platform. In reality, Gates and Allen did not have an Altair and had not written code for it; they merely wanted to gauge MITS's interest. MITS president Ed Roberts agreed to meet them for a demo, and over the course of a few weeks they developed an Altair emulator that ran on a minicomputer, and then the BASIC interpreter. The demonstration, held at MITS's offices in Albuquerque , was a success and resulted in a deal with MITS to distribute the interpreter as Altair BASIC . Paul Allen was hired into MITS, and Gates took a leave of absence from Harvard to work with Allen at MITS in Albuquerque in November 1975. They named their partnership "Micro-Soft" and had their first office located in Albuquerque. Within a year, the hyphen was dropped, and on November 26, 1976, the trade name "Microsoft" was registered with the Office of the Secretary of the State of New Mexico . Gates never returned to Harvard to complete his studies. The fight Microsoft's Altair BASIC was popular with computer hobbyists, but Gates discovered that a pre-market copy had leaked into the community and was being widely copied and distributed. In February 1976, Gates wrote an Open Letter to Hobbyists in the MITS newsletter in which he asserted that more than 90 percent of the users of Microsoft Altair BASIC had not paid Microsoft for it and by doing so the Altair "hobby market" was in danger of eliminating the incentive for any professional developers to produce, distribute, and maintain high-quality software. This letter was unpopular with many computer hobbyists, but Gates persisted in his belief that software developers should be able to demand payment. Microsoft became independent of MITS in late 1976, and it continued to develop programming language software for various systems. The company moved from Albuquerque to its new home in Bellevue, Washington, on January 1, 1979. During Microsoft's early years, all employees had broad responsibility for the company's business. Gates oversaw the business details, but continued to write code as well. In the first five years, according to Bill Gates' own claims, he personally reviewed every line of code the company shipped, and often rewrote parts of it as he saw fit. IBM partnership IBM approached Microsoft in July 1980 in reference to an operating system for its upcoming personal computer, the IBM PC. IBM first proposed that Microsoft write the BASIC interpreter. When IBM's representatives mentioned that they needed an operating system, Gates referred them to Digital Research (DRI), makers of the widely used CP/M operating system. IBM's discussions with Digital Research went poorly, and they did not reach a licensing agreement. IBM representative Jack Sams mentioned the licensing difficulties during a subsequent meeting with Gates and told him to get an acceptable operating system. A few weeks later, Gates proposed using 86-DOS (QDOS), an operating system similar to CP/M that Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products (SCP) had made for hardware similar to the PC. Microsoft made a deal with SCP to become the exclusive licensing agent, and later the full owner, of 86-DOS. After adapting the operating system for the PC, Microsoft delivered it to IBM as PC DOS in exchange for a one-time fee of $50,000. The Wisdom Gates did not offer to transfer the copyright on the operating system, because he believed that other hardware vendors would clone IBM's system. They did, and the sales of MS-DOS made Microsoft a major player in the industry. Despite IBM's name on the operating system, the press quickly identified Microsoft as being very influential on the new computer. PC Magazine asked if Gates were "the man behind the machine?", and InfoWorld quoted an expert as stating "it's Gates' computer". Gates oversaw Microsoft's company restructuring on June 25, 1981, which re-incorporated the company in Washington state and made Gates the president of Microsoft and its board chairman.

Our decisions today eventually become our positions tomorrow. The time taken in taking such decisive steps are enough to multiply our start up. We can't keep moaning at a stage while others zoomed past us, even while we were formerly ahead. If not for the timely and risky decision of Bill Gates, he might not have been where he is today. Who is Bill Gates? The Journey Bill Gates, also known as William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, humanitarian, and principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect , while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014. In 1975, Gates and Paul Allen launched Microsoft, which became the world's largest PC software company. Gates led the company as chief executive officer until stepping down in January 2000, but he remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect for himself. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , which was established in 2000. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie and Craig Mundie . He stepped down as chairman of Microsoft in February 2014 and assumed a new post as technology adviser to support the newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella . Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution . He has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive . This opinion has been upheld by numerous court rulings. Since 1987, Gates has been included in the Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people , an index of the wealthiest documented individuals, excluding and ranking against those with wealth that is not able to be completely ascertained. From 1995 to 2017, he held the Forbes title of the richest person in the world all but four of those years, and held it consistently from March 2014 – July 2017, with an estimated net worth of US$89.9 billion as of October 2017. However, on July 27, 2017, and since October 27, 2017, he has been surpassed by Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos , who had an estimated net worth of US$90.6 billion at the time. As of May 5, 2018, Gates had a net worth of $91.5 billion, making him the second-richest person in the world, behind Bezos. Later in his career and since leaving Microsoft, Gates pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors. He donated large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2009, Gates and Warren Buffett founded The Giving Pledge, whereby they and other billionaires pledge to give at least half of their wealth to philanthropy. The foundation works to save lives and improve global health, and is working with Rotary International to eliminate polio. Early life Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 1955. He is the son of William H. Gates Sr. (b. 1925) and Mary Maxwell Gates (1929–1994). His ancestry includes English , German, Irish , and Scots-Irish . His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystem and the United Way . Early on in his life, Gates observed that his parents wanted him to pursue a law career. The family encouraged competition; one visitor reported that "it didn't matter whether it was hearts or pickleball or swimming to the dock ... there was always a reward for winning and there was always a penalty for losing".....................

Failure is not the ability not to accomplish, but the inability to rise after falling. Such could have befallen Carl Brashear who was a cook in the US Navy (the best he could be for being a Black American), but rose through the ranks and so much struggles to achieve a feat even beyond dreams. Carl Maxie Brashear (January 19, 1931 – July 25, 2006) was a United States Navy Sailor. He was the first African American to become a U.S. Navy Master Diver, rising to the position in 1970 despite also having an amputated left leg. Brashear enlisted in the U.S. Navy on February 25, 1948, shortly after the Navy had been desegregated by U.S. President Harry S. Truman. He graduated from the U.S. Navy Diving & Salvage School in 1954, becoming the first African-American to attend and graduate from the Diving & Salvage School and the first African-American U.S. Navy Diver. While attending diving school in Bayonne, New Jersey , Brashear faced hostility and racism. He found notes on his bunk saying, [b]"We're going to drown you today, nigger!" and "We don't want any nigger divers." [/b]Brashear received encouragement to finish from Boatswain's Mate First Class Rutherford, and graduated 16 out of 17. During the bomb recovery operations on March 23, 1966, a line used for towing broke loose, causing a pipe to strike Brashear's left leg below the knee, nearly shearing it off. He was evacuated to Torrejon Air Base in Spain, then to the USAF Hospital at Wiesbaden Air Base , Germany; and finally to the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia . Beset with persistent infection and necrosis, his lower left leg was eventually amputated. In April 1968, after a long struggle, Brashear was the first amputee diver to be (re)certified as a U.S. Navy diver.Failure is not the ability not to accomplish, but the inability to rise after falling.
