Religion / What Quran Says About Blasphemy - Deborah Samuel's Killing Updates! by Akinpedia(m): 6:30pm On May 13, 2022
Quran tells us to ignore Blasphemy because in Islamic law, there is no punishment for blasphemy.

"And when you see those who engage in making fun of Our revelations (Blasphemy), stay away from them till they turn to another topic.

And if Satan causes you to forget, then after the remembrance sit not you in the company of those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers).

Quran (6:68)

From the above verse, the stance of present-day Muslims goes totally against the teachings of the Quran. Whenever anyone in their judgment commits an act of 'abuse of the Prophet in speech or in writing, they instantly demand that all those who insult the Prophet be dealt with.

This verse of the Quran makes it plain that it is not the task of the Muslims to establish "media watch" offices and hunt for anyone involved in acts of defamation of the Prophet, and then plan for their killing as in the case of what happened in Sokoto.

What those students did in Sokoto is an abomination of every etiquette in Islam of being courteous, patient, tolerant and knowledgeable in the face of people who may hate, or are uneducated against Islam.

The Blasphemy Law is against the Quran and Sunnah, it does not serve Islam. In reality a person who like the Holy prophet attracted people to Islam by doing good deeds and tolerate his neighbours and correct with love.
May Allah continue to protect us and strengthen us with good.

Politics / Goodluck Ebele Jonathan On APC Presidential Aspirant Platform! Unbelievable by Akinpedia(m): 6:13am On May 13, 2022
I would have sworn that this day will never come. Yes, I know in politics anything is possible, but Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan a presidential aspirant on the platform of APC? Unbelievable!

The same APC that labeled him clueless and a drunkard? The same APC whose supporters conducted a mock burial for him? The same APC that claimed that GEJ was responsible for all the evil that pervaded the land before the 2015 elections?

Come to think of it, what did GEJ forget in Aso Rock that he desperately wants to retrieve? Could this be an attempt by GEJ to spite the likes of Amaechi, Tinubu, Silva, and many others that made him look so stupid and worthless a few years ago? Or, has he suddenly become a miracle worker that will fix the mess of Buhari in 4yrs?

Lol.....some of us that were his ardent supporters knew his limitations, he has no such superpowers.

Honestly, I'm utterly disappointed. Goodluck Jonathan did not just rob stinking dirt on the faces of many of us who are his diehard supporters but he also proved that behind his gentle mien lies a selfish, power-hungry, and crafty betrayer.

The fact that he was pretending and 'forming' uninterested makes the whole most annoying. GEJ, it is sad you allowed yourself to be used to undermine the the Southern Nigeria.

I know it is within your rights to aspire for any leadership position in Nigeria but this move is not only going to mark the beginning of your demystification, but it also will mark the beginning of your grace to grass journey.

Since you choose to rubbish grace because of greed, disgrace will find and dwell with you no matter how long it takes. This is no curse but a reality that will soon dawn on you.

Folks here is the face of an 'ingenious' betrayer;

Nairaland / General / The Tragedy Of Assumption! Are You Also Guilty? by Akinpedia(m): 6:56pm On May 10, 2022
A few days ago, I went to an event, a house-warming ceremony.

When I entered the compound, I saw some elders I knew sitting in one corner. I went up to them and started to greet them one after the other.

I shook their hands, even with the ones I didn't know until I got to one man. I didn't know him and when I extended my hand, he ignored it. After a few seconds, I withdrew the hand.

I felt very embarrassed and angry. Embarrassed for myself and angry at the man.

What was he feeling like, I thought. All those other men accepted my greeting, older men even. And to my knowledge, I hadn't done anything wrong. I gave him a very scornful look, greeted the remaining men and went to take a seat.

Now, even after I sat down, I was still pissed. I kept stealing glances at the man to see how he would react to other people.

Then I saw it...

He was blind!!!

His eyes were open, but he couldn't see at all! The other people who came to greet him had to touch him first, then take his hand if they wanted to shake hands with him.

Now my embarrassment level tripled. In addition to that, I felt stupid, very stupid. I was still angry, just angry at myself. I felt like that till I left the occasion.”

*Assumption kills like poison*. Any small thing, we Assume...

Someone doesn't pick our calls, we assume he or she is avoiding us or is up to something...

Someone doesn't give us the money we asked for, we assume he or she is stingy and wicked...

Someone doesn't call, hangout or visit you as he/she use to. We Assume they are no longer caring or intimate again, then comes the anger and repulsive attitude towards them. We never care to know and understand that issues of Life can set in to choke them.....

Once we are turned or rejected, we start assuming...

We don't put into consideration what the other party might be going through.......

The guy that promised you money might get into a financial situation a day before he's supposed to give you the money.

The person that didn't pick your call was probably in a meeting or too busy at that moment, or even sleeping. He might not be in the mood to take your call.

But we just assume instead...because it’s easier and it tends to make us the good guys...

Give someone benefit of the doubt.....make an excuse for that person.....

It's not always as it seems....Have a wonderful week ahead

Career / May God Help The Nigerian Youths! by Akinpedia(m): 8:14am On May 10, 2022
*SOLILOQUIZING*

At 30, our students are considered too old to go for youth service.

At 35, our youths are considered too old to get a job, especially when they don't have the experience.

At 60 - 65, our public servants are too old to work, hence they retire.

But at 70 - 75, our politicians are not too old to want to be Nigeria's President, even when all of their bodies are already Shaking..

Just thinking aloud ni sha o.

What a country!!!

NIGERIA, I HAIL THEE

Sports / Why FIFA Ordered NFF To Pay Gernot Rohr $1.045 by Akinpedia(m): 8:07am On May 10, 2022
FIFA Orders NFF To Pay Ex Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr $1.045 Compensation, Salaries

World football governing body, FIFA have ordered the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF to pay the sum of one million, forty-five Thousand dollars ($1, 045,000) compensation and salaries to former Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr.

Rohr was sacked as Super Eagles head coach in December 2021 while still being owed several months salaries as well as bonuses and allowances.

The German reported the NFF to FIFA and the world football governing body has ordered them to pay him $1,045,000 (about N433,873,550.00 officially) to cover his entitlements and additional compensation.

NFF sources confirmed today that the ruling was made on 22 April but kept under wraps, and the body is not considering an appeal.

FIFA ruled that the NFF had no justifiable reason to terminate Rohr’s contract in the manner that they did, especially as they were owing him a large sum.

The world body also clarified that Rohr must be paid in dollars and not naira since he is no longer based in Nigeria.

Rohr was named as the Super Eagles head coach in 2016 and he was the longest-serving coach of the team with his over five years in charge.

The former Burkina Faso head coach was believed to be earning around $55,000 monthly in Nigeria.

He is yet to be replaced with a permanent successor after Austin Eguavoen’s disastrous spell as interim head coach.

Under Eguavoen’s three-month stint, the Super Eagles fell in the second round of the Africa Cup of Nations in January and lost out to Ghana in the World Cup playoffs in March.

FIFA says Nigeria had no reason to sacked Gernot Rohr last December and has ordered the NFF to pay him his entitlements.

Health / 5 Possible Health Problems And Consequences Of Having Sex With Dogs by Akinpedia(m): 6:12am On May 10, 2022
There are diseases that can be transmitted from animal to human (zoonosis) through contact with body fluids; blood, urine, feces, nasal discharge, etc. some of these diseases and injuries that can be acquired particularly from having sex with dogs, are as follows;

Rabies

Rabies is a viral disease from dogs that is fatal in humans. It is transmitted from the saliva of dogs, horses and cats. Immediately after the symptoms set in, the human has little chance of survival if not treated.

Echinococcosis

This is a parasitic tapeworm found in the faeces of dogs, cats and sheep. This disease is asymptomatic and would not manifest until after a few years. These worms would cause cysts to develop in the kidneys, heart, spleens and brains of the person so affected. If not treated, it can lead to death.

Injury

The reproductive organs of these animals are not made to fit into that of a woman or man and have caused a lot of injuries, some men have had ruptured rectum from sex with pigs and others have experienced head injuries from sex with horses.

The reproductive organ of an aroused dog is like a light bulb, and that would injure a vagina. Let's not even imagine the size of a horse's reproductive organ. It can cause serious tears and injuries.

Allergic reaction

Receiving the semen of a dog or horse can trigger allergic reactions because it is a foreign substance the body tries to expel.

Imagine a person with a peanut allergy eating peanuts, and not getting treated immediately. A woman in Ireland who had sex with a dog died from anaphylaxis.

According to Mayo Clinic, "Anaphylaxis causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause you to go into shock — blood pressure drops suddenly and the airways narrow, blocking breathing. Signs and symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse; a skin rash; and nausea and vomiting."

Leptospirosis

This disease is gotten from the urine of animals like dogs and cats. When it is in the human system, it can lead to meningitis, and 10% of the time, meningitis is deadly.

Apart from the fact that it is a crime against nature and an actual crime, bestiality can be fatal and deadly.

Having gone through the consequences of having sex with dogs, I wish to recommend that if caught, such person(s) should be isolated from human and quarantine, until after series of laboratory test conducted in order to avoid another emerging pandemic.

Politics / South West APC Elders Meeting With Osinbajo, Tinubu and Others by Akinpedia(m): 7:07am On May 07, 2022
A South West APC Elders meeting with presidential, gubernatorial and National Assembly aspirants from the zone ended tonight on a convivial note, as sources confirm that the leaders resolved that every aspirants has a right to contest.

Besides, the meeting, though behind closed doors also resolved that name callings and other personal attacks should no longer be encouraged by aspirants and their supporters.

According to an inside source,

"the issue of betrayal was put to rest as the elders affirmed that everyone who desires to run for any political office whatsoever is not encumbered in any way at all."

The leaders and the aspirants all agreed to conduct a rancour free campaign.

The meeting had been convened by the first Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande and a former Governor of Ogun state, Chief Segun Osoba, both of whom served as Co-Conveners.

Present at the meeting were the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, former Lagos State Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi.

Also at the meeting, apart from the aspirants were the former Governor of Lagos State and Works and Housing Minister Mr. Babatunde Fashola, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief Niyi Adebayo, Governors Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state and Governor Oyetola of Osun state.

Others included former Osun State Governor and Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola and the APC National Secretary Otunba Iyiola Omisore.

While commending the Vice President, being the highest ranking public officer from South West extraction for a job well done, inside sources disclosed that the APC elders stated categorically that all the aspirants had the right to aspire to be President.

But, they enjoined all aspirants to exhibit the ‘Omoluabi’ ethos in their politicking by shunning divisive rhetorics.

While stating that consultations with them would be a continuous exercise, the meeting admonished the aspirants to queue behind whoever amongst them that eventually emerges as the party’s candidate, stating that the cohesion of the South West must be sancrosanct.

Heart Attacks- - -
Drinking Warm
Water:

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal,
but about Heart Attack's . The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their
meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt
their drinking habit while
eating. For those who like to drink cold water, this
article is applicable to
you. It is very Harmful to have Cold Drink/Water during a meal. Because,
the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you
have just consumed. It will
slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge'
reacts with the acid, it will break down and be
absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats
and lead to cancer . It is best to drink hot soup
or warm water after a meal.

French fries and Burgers
are the biggest enemy of heart health. A coke after that gives more power to
this demon. Avoid them for
your Heart's & Health.

Drink one glass of warm water just when you are about to go to bed to avoid clotting of the blood at night to avoid heart attacks or strokes.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this

TV/Movies / Please, I Need Your Advice On What To Do Next by Akinpedia(m): 8:25pm On May 04, 2022
I was coming home Saturday evening after a hectic day and found a small bag on the ground.

I opened it and behold what I found inside; $50,000!!!

Fear first catch me.

I took the bag home and when I emptied it, I found some document, ID card, ATM card and an IPhone.

I thought about throwing the SIM away and keep the Phone and also dispose the the document and keep the money.

After a long thought, I decided to leave things as they were, hoping that the owner would call.

Not long after, a call actually came through on the IPhone.

I picked and talked with the caller.

Apparently, it was the owner of the bag because he named absolutely every content of the bag.

We met afterwards and I handed him the bag, he offered me $3000 but I turned it down.

However, he took my phone number, saved it on his phone and left.

Yesterday he called me and offered me a job at SHELL worth #950,000 per month, a 3 bedroom flat fully furnished and with a gift of 2014 Range Rover Sport jeep.

As I was smiling and testing the car, my wife just touched me and said: "Oya oya wake up EBA DON READY".

Romance / Do You Know That|not Everybody Close To You Are Good People by Akinpedia(m): 10:38pm On May 03, 2022
When a window is widely opened, it does not only give way for fresh air to enter the room, but it also allows dirt to enter.

When we are too open to people, we should not only expect people to add value to our lives and intensify our joy, but rather we should expect people who will hurt us and even impede our efforts to grow.

Watch and pray. It is Not everybody close to you are good people. Even many of the people close to you, whom you are very affectionate with, can have evil intentions.

You need to identify the snake around you and their true intent. Hugs and kisses from friends and people do not show that people love you.

Don’t fear the enemy that attacks you, but the fake friends, fake neighbours, fake and evil colleagues in your department, school, and in your office and work places, and even fake family members and even fake church members.

Not everybody that hugs you, kisses you, shakes hands with you, laughs and smiles with you or wishes you congratulations are good.

Most of them are sadist, dangerous, bitter, jealous, envious, satanic and evil. Good morning!

Politics / Recession Didn't Just Happen In Nigeria, Politicians Looted Nigeria's Revenues by Akinpedia(m): 7:56am On May 03, 2022
IF APC is not the answer to our Problems, there is no reason going back to the instigators of the problem.
I'm not a politician but I would do everything not to have PDP in Government in Nigeria.

The greatest tragedy that can befall a nation is for her citizens to suffer collective amnesia. I believe PDP believes Nigerians have short memories, if not, Ibori would not have been included in their convention committee and Jonathan would not have been allowed to talk (He ended up indicting himself as usual anyway).

For those who may have forgotten, kindly joggle your memories with the following words on marble and you will agree with me that what happened in Eagle square on saturday was nothing but gathering of rogues.
Happy reading:

1. I acted based on Jonathan's instruction - Dasuki

2. I didn't give order - Jonathan

3. I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation - Iyorchia Ayu

4. I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m - Bode George

5. I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes - Bafarawa

6. I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office - Thisday Obaigbena.

7. I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity - Dokpesi

8. I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where - Bafarawa.

9. I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others - Yuguda

10. The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates - Dasuki

11. My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN - Dasuki's account officer.

12. I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land. - Nimasa DG.

13. 950m was shared in my house -- Shekarau

With all this looting and many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.

But I believe, it is the right thing to do.
If you believe too, send this to other people to garner more support for the fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

Sports / Algiers 90: How Clement Westerhof Went To Algeria With Only Home Based Players by Akinpedia(m): 7:27am On May 02, 2022
After Eagles played their last qualifying world cup match in Yaounde and lost 1-0 to Cameroon in August 27th 1989, Westerhof set out to rebuild the Eagles and prepare for Algeirs 90 nations cup already qualified by Coach Paul Hamilton.

He visited league venues in Nigeria for talents accompanied by Fanny Amu. Iwuanyanwu nationale and Bendel United were playing in the Continent then, while Ranchers Bees was playing WAFU so Westerhof scouted mostly from these clubs.

By November of that year he had invited most of the players he wanted and played friendly matches with some Nigerian clubsides.

By January 1990 Nigeria hosted Ecowas cup in Bauchi with Senegal, Cote de' Ivore and Liberia in attendance which Eagles won. Then Westterhof set out to invite professionals who will prosecute the nations cup proper with home based players.

Augustine Eguaveon's club Genk in Belgium refused to release him while Keshi gave condition of coming and going after matches to play for his club Anderletch then back to Algeria but Westerhof rejected this.

Players like

Etim Esin,
Samson Siasia
Philip Osondu

Wanted NFA to pay them upfront but Westerhof also rejected this, by telling the players they are not patriotic and will not get a call up again!

Out of frustration Westerhof called their bluff and took the home based players on a one month training in Papendal, Holland. The only professionals in the team were

Andrew Uwe
Ademola Adeshina

The two of them were playing in Belgium second divisions.

Eagles were to fly straight to Algeria from Holland.

In the opening match against the host Algeria, the Eagles were thrashed 5-1 with their Capt Rabah Madjer who had three years earlier scored the winning goal in the champions league final between his club Porto and Bayern Munich, scoring two of the goals past Aloy Agu, While Nigeria's only goal was scored by Emma Jay Jay Okocha.

The inexperience of the home based players showed and some NFA officials whom arrival of Westerhof in the country had stopped some dirty deals they do in Europe started talking of sacking him, Westerhof too was humbled and started asking one of his assistants Sebastian Brodericks the strategy he used in China 85 and told him and Jo Bonfere to allow the players rest for a day without training so he could find out if there's a division among them.

Then In the second match against Egypt three days latter, he made three changes and brought in

Ben Iroha
Herbert Anijekwu
Friday Elaho

Into the team and through the brilliance of Elaho, Rashidi Yekini scored an early goal and the defence tightened up and Eagles won 1-0. In the last crucial group match with Cote de' Ivore, they fly in by private jet their dangerous star man Youssouf Fofana who was playing at Monaco with George Weah.

When NFA officials heard this news they became Jittery, harassing Westerhof here and there but Westerhof told them he doesn't know who Fofana was, what he know is, he has Uche Okechukwu in defence.

Eventually, in the match proper, Westerhof placed Moses Kpakor on Fofana with instructions to hassle and hackle him. This, Kpakor did, till Fofana was substituted in the second half, but before then Rashidi Yekini had scored another early goal and also through the brilliance of Friday Elaho again. Nigeria won 1-0

Yekini was playing for Africa sports in Cote de' Ivore then. The dreaded Zambians with their tiki- taka football was Nigeria's opponent in the semi finals but Westerhof instructed the Eagles players to let them have the ball but hold them with Zonal marking.

As it turned out, it was to be Nigerias best match in the tournament with Uche Okechukwu nodding in, a corner in the first half while Rashidi Yekini scored from a counter attack in the second half with a clever pass from Wasiu Ipaye.

In the final match, the Algerians was surprised with the improvement and confidence of Eagles who they had thrashed two weeks earlier and resorted to hacking our players but referee Jean Diramba was so biased that you will know that he had already made up his mind for Algeria to win, and so it was,

Because they scored in the first half by Cherif Ouzani to win 1-0 but the home based Eagles returned to Nigeria as heroes, was given #50,000 each by Babangida led FG and Westerhof had gotten everybody to his side and also got direct access to vice president of Nigeria at that time Augustus Aikhomu for anything he wanted!

Technology Market / Wrong Ways You're Parking Your Vehicles That Damage Your Gearbox by Akinpedia(m): 5:34pm On Apr 30, 2022
Most gear failures, up to 75% in automatic transmission is cause by driver's error.

Up to 80% of vehicles on Nigerian roads don't have active hand brakes, they make use of the "P" and that's why they always have gear failures.

Let's not forget:
"P" = parking mode
"N" = neutral mode
"grin" = drive mode.

Common mistakes drivers of automatic transmission make is when the car is stopped many drivers push the gear handle directly from "grin" to "P" then before applying hand brake (if the vehicle have any functional hand brake at all).

This is very wrong

Correct way is when the car is stopped, first push the gear handle to "N", apply the handbrake so the whole force and weight of the car rests on the handbrake then push the gear handle to "P" then switch off the engine.

What Happens Inside The Gearbox Each Time You Push Your Gear Handle To "P"?

Your automatic transmission has a pin like device called PAWL. It's function is to lock the transmission shaft and block it from moving front or back.

There's a circular notched ring that looks like flywheel at the base of your output shaft inside the gear.

Once you engage your gear to "P" the PAWL (pin) locks into the notched ring just like door locks in your rooms or the way your steering locks when you off the engine and remove your key from the ignition.

Once this happens the drive shaft is locked and can't move front or backward.

When you park your vehicle on a sloppy or inclined surface a lot of stress is placed on your vehicle parking pawl especially if you engaged the "P" before the handbrake, infact the whole weight of the vehicle rests on the parking PAWL.

Doing this all the time will force your parking pawl to worn out and eventually damage the gear.

Your transmission is affected more if you constantly park at sloppy surface without engaging the hand brakes first before the "P" and that's why if you want to move from the "P" to "N" or "grin" the gear handle become very difficult to push or make heavy disengagement sound.

That's sound is forceful disengagement of the pawl from the notched ring due to vehicle weight resting on it which is very dangerous to your gear.

If you engage the handbrake first before the "P" then the weight of the car will rest on the rear brake linings of the wheel thereby removing any pressure on the parking pawl.

Please, the parking PAWL is too small to rest your whole vehicle weight on, infact your not suppose to do it AT ALL.
If you don't have an active handbrake better go and repair it now.

It's cheaper for you to repair your handbrake than to buy new gear but if you still continue and damage your gear I can help you buy and install a new gear at high cost. What are friends for?

Thanks and enjoy your week.

Sports / NFF Have Been Criticised For Disrupting The Structure Of Super Eagles Of Nigeria by Akinpedia(m): 12:25pm On Apr 30, 2022
Foreign born players are not properly integrated into the Super Eagles — Odegbami.

Super Eagles legend Chief Segun Odegbami believes the foreign born players are being rushed to the National team.

The Nigeria Football Federation have been criticised for disrupting the structure of national teams by constantly inviting foreign born players.

The latest are Ademola Lookman and Calvin Bassey who flopped on thier home debut during the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ghana last month.

While many criticise the players for failing to live up to expectations, Odegbami in a interview with brila.net faults how the players were thrown in the thick of action, without proper integration.

“The reality is that African football is different from the Europe. A player has to adapt to this level. So when you are born in Europe, you must have to learn the game in Africa.”

That’s why some of them struggle here. The game is more physical here and the mentality is different as well.”

They need to adapt and not all of them have adapted. Balogun and Ekong have adapted and that’s why you see them perform well”.

“Same goes for the ones who are born here, when they go to Europe, they are it will take them time to settle. Kanu and Okocha started here, but were got better when they settled well in Europe.

“So we need to be sensible when we are bringing players born in Europe. Because a player is playing for local club in Belgium is not enough to earn him a place in the national team.” He said

Sports / Arteta Press Conference Ahead Of West Ham Clash by Akinpedia(m): 8:01pm On Apr 29, 2022
�Mikel Arteta on Bukayo Saka's injury...

“Hopefully he will be fine. He had some issues in the final part of the game but he's recovered well and we expect him to be available.

�on Thomas Partey's recovery…

“He's progressing but he had a significant injury, a recurring injury as well, so we don’t expect him to make progress that quickly to see him this season, but hopefully I am wrong.

�on Takehiro Tomiyasu...

“You only know that when a player's been out for a long spell when you put him on the pitch. He hasn’t started any matches yet. He's lacked a bit of time on the pitch so it’s a decision we will make tomorrow.

�on whether it's a two-horse race for the top four…

“I don’t think so, there will still be some twists and turns, we all have difficult matches to play.

We all know how difficult it is to win games in the Premier League and now we had two really good results that put us in a really good position. But it is about doing it again at West Ham.

�on how big a third straight win would be…

“I think in the league when you are able to win consecutively away and at home, it gives you a huge pltform and things quickly change. We have some momentum now and we want to make the most out of it.

�on improving since playing West Ham away last season…

“Hopefully a lot, especially what we did in the first 20 or 30 minutes of that game that we put ourselves in a really difficult position. It's true that we reacted phenomenally well, but we want to start the game in a different way.

�on Granit Xhaka's renaissance…

“[It's due to] things that are happening in his life, his private life, he's a father now. He's been through a lot, he's been through difficult moments here, he's found a lot of support internally to deal with certain situations.

His character, the way he approaches problems, how he's willing to change things, improve constantly, to become a better person and a better player, so credit to him for what he's done.

�on playing after Tottenham in the next few weeks…

“I think everybody knows about that. The last time they played before us and we didn't take that advantage and it's gone the other way around as well so we can just focus on what we can do.

�on the benefits of Tottenham losing...

“If we win, yes. If they lose and we win obviously we have one game less in a much stronger position.

�on the benefits of a season outside of Europe...

“It's what we had. I said we're going to fight to make the most out of it and try to play it in our favour and try to take advantage of that situation.

�on the new experience for players of playing under pressure...

“For most of them it is but it's been like this for the last two or three months where everyone is talking about it and they can feel the importance of every match but this is what we want in April and May, for things to play for.

�on what's changed from this time last year...

“We have very different players in the squad and we have a very different environment. I think the unity that exists right now between the team, the staff, our supporters and externally is completely different and is very very beneficial for the team and obviously, how the team has evolved in its understanding of what we want to do is much better.

The execution of it is much better, the consistency of results is better and what we're trying to do is seek for improvement every single day and probably what we did a year ago is what you see now.

�on if he's a better manager now than last year...

“I hope I am and the same tomorrow. This is my aim every day.

�on whether he knows his plan for the summer...

“Yes.

�on if he's identified talents for the summer window despite where we finish...

“It's not as easy as that but the plan is very clear.

�on Hector Bellerin...

“Any player with a contractual obligation with us, both ways, is our player and is considered our player so every plan is considered uif that possibility exists and how they could fit in our team.

�on Saka’s mental strength after the Euros…

“The first two conversations that I had [with him] it was straight after the incident, but Gareth Southgate was really helpful as well because he had Bukayo in his hands at that moment and they were really caring and really supportive of him, so by the time he joined us, he was in a really good place.

Obviously, he got all this support and love and help in any way that he needed it to overcome that situation and then it’s down to him and his family around him that were very helpful for him.

�on the pressure our young players face with England…

“Yes, but I think they’re doing it at their clubs and that’s really, really important so again, the step of demands is not that high, they are already key and important players in their own clubs.

So they’re used to that pressure and at international level it’s something very different, but I think they have the maturity and they have the capacity to sustain that level under pressure because they’re doing it every week at their clubs.

�on facing Everton on the final day of the season…

“As you said, the manager only looks at their next match. You already answered your own question!

�on Tomiyasu’s ability with his weaker foot…

“Well, when we follow the player and we identify him as one of the candidates, obviously it one of the things that I came across and it gives you a lot of solutions.

Not only because he can use both feet, but he can play right centre-back, left centre-back, he can play left-back so that gives you enormous variability and it’s the way they’ve been raised and coached since a really young age, that’s what he says so for him, left and right is the same.

�on if he spoke to Tomiyasu about using his weaker foot…

“Yes, I asked him how he’s been coached, it’s always very interesting things that we can take on board and get involved and implement in our club, because it’s such a beneficial thing, so it’s important to understand other coaches and other ways of coaching.

�on if Saka is our penalty taker…

“Well, tomorrow if someone has to take a penalty, he will take it. Again, but it happened quite naturally in the Chelsea game, he took it and the next game we had another one and hopefully he can continue to put the ball in the back of the net."

Politics / The Root Causes Of Our Problems In Nigeria Today by Akinpedia(m): 3:30pm On Apr 24, 2022
Attention to all our Presidential and Governorship aspirations. In case you people don't know. please take time out and read below:

As of 29/03/2022, the exchange rates were:

£1 = ₦783
$1 = ₦560
€1 = ₦670

42 years ago, precisely on 01/03/1980 the exchange rate was:
$1 = 0.78k

Are you surprised?

Well, we were far more productive in 1980 than we are today.

In 1980 the key reasons for economic growth were as follows:

1. We were a net exporter of refined petroleum products. Today we import all our refined petroleum products.

2. We rode in locally assembled cars, buses and trucks. Peugeot cars in Kaduna and Volkswagen cars in Lagos.

3. Leyland produced trucks/buses in Ibadan and ANAMCO in Enugu also produced buses and trucks.

4. Steyr in Bauchi produced our Agricultural tractors. And it was not just Assembly, we were producing many of the components:

5. Vono products in Lagos produced the vehicle seats.

6. Exide in Ibadan produced the batteries, not just for Nigeria but for the entire West Africa.

7. IsoGlass and TSG in Ibadan produced the windshields.

8. Ferrodo in Ibadan produced the brake pads and discs

9. Dunlop produced Tyres in Lagos and Mitchelin Tyres were produced in Port Harcourt. And I mean tyres produced from rubber plantations located in Ogun, Bendel and Rivers State.

10. We were listening to Radio and watching television sets assembled in Ibadan by Sanyo.

11. We were using refrigerators, freezers and Airconditioners produced by Thermocool and Debo.

12. We were putting on clothes produced from the UNTL Textile Mills in Kaduna and Chellarams in Lagos. They were Not from imported cotton but from cotton grown in Nigeria.

13. Our water was running through pipes produced by Kwalipipe in Kano and Duraplast in Lagos .

14. Our toilets were fitted with WC produced in Kano and Abeokuta.

15 We were cooking with LPG gas stored inside gas cylinders produced at the NGC factory in Ibadan.

16. Our electricity was flowing through cables produced by the Nigerian Wire and Cable, Ibadan; NOCACO in Kaduna and Kablemetal in Lagos and Port Harcourt.

17. We had Bata and Lennards Stores producing the shoes we were putting on. The shoes were not from imported leather but from locally tanned leather in Kaduna.

18. We were mainly flying our Airways, (the Nigeria Airways), to most places in the world. The Nigeria Airways was about the biggest in Africa at the time.

19. Most of the foods we ate were grown or produced in Nigeria.

We were producing all of the above and many more in 1980

Today, we import almost everything. Isn't that alarming?

There lies the source of the terrible exchange rate we are experiencing today and everyone reading this has a critical role to play in reversing this very UGLY trend.

We have been talking about these problems and more for ages.

It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do. The key questions are:

1. What are we producing now?
2. What role are our so- called Leaders/ Politicians of today playing?

We are forever shying away from responsibility whereas it is a stack reality and if we don't deal with it, it won't go away. In fact it will get worse.

To our dear Politician, if you don't have the capacity to RESET Nigeria to what it was at least back in 1980 then please stay in your house and don't waste our time.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!

Please share widely on all platforms for Nigerians especially youths to know the critical role to play with the fixing of Nigeria.

Romance / How To Maintain a Good Relationships With People Around You by Akinpedia(m): 9:19am On Apr 24, 2022
People learn this late, they are too quick to cut off people.

It is childish and immature to pick offence at every provocation or perceived wrong and then start keeping grudges as a result.

Grow above it.

Someone did not invite you for their wedding, you pick offence with them.

Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offence with the Person

They didn't like your Facebook Post, you pick offence.

They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offence with them.

They said No to your request, you pick offence and malice start like a bicycle.

You asked them for money, they said they didn't have it, you pick offence with them.

You are even keeping a record of people who brought gifts to your wedding, so you can know who to pick offence with. Hah.

See,

Everyone is busy,

Everyone has their battles you are not aware of.

Those who you need help from are also looking for help.

Not everything is Personal and intentional

Not everyone hates you.

People will forget about you, not wish you a happy birthday, promise you and fail you, not join your group, doesn't mean they don't like you, sometimes People are just caught up with their own lives, struggles, and human weaknesses/limitations.

Learn how to manage being disappointed by People and still be on talking terms with them, it'll save you a lot of UNNECESSARY grudges and beefing and save you some FRIENDSHIPS You'll need in Future.

Grow above offences.

Education / Training A Child Is Like Building A Car: True Or False? by Akinpedia(m): 8:59am On Apr 24, 2022
The designer designs it,
The welder builds the body
The mechanic builds the engine
The rewire wires it
The radionic works on it
The glass Marchant works on it
The painter works on it
The air conditioning man works on it
The expertise of tire Marchant is also needed.....

What happens if just one of the above professionals does a faulty job? the car will be bad.

That's the analogy that describes training a child. If a child must be a good child, these four stakeholders must NOT be found wanting in their responsibilities.

The Parent
The Society
The Government
The Teacher

The first three have failed and are expecting the teacher to be a "four man" by doing the work of everybody.

The parents of today are afraid to correct their own children, so the child grows up believing he can do what he likes.

You hear parent telling you as a teacher,

"he didn't read anything throughout the holiday, please help me ensure he reads in school".

My response to such parents is "if you, his parent cannot make him read, how will I, an ordinary teacher make him read?

As small as I am, while growing up, you get beaten by any elder that caught you misbehaving.

You hear, "I will beat you, your parent will thank me", and that's what will happen, your parent will actually thank them, not again, today's parents will rather fight them.

So, only the unavailable indisciplined parent is left to discipline the child. Come to my school on visiting day, come and see what some parents wear to visit their children in school.

The society also exposed the child to what negatively affect his psyche, he has been exposed to BBnaija and co, where he watched people having sex on camera being appluaded and made mentor.

Porn site also has free entry, no one cares if you are 10 or 30, in as much as you have a phone and data, you have access.

Guess what, parents provide phone and data to their kids and leave them unattended to in "their room". For good sake, why will the room of an 11 ye old child has a door? What privacy is the child entitled to?

When the child listen and watch music videos, Portable is the musician, visibly drunk and drugged.

If it is not Portable, it is Naira Marley, smoking India helm on set. Have you listened to their lyrics? That's what today's child also listen to.

From what else will the child learn if not from what the child sees and hear?

Now, the teacher is expected to teach the child how to say sorry, when he is wrong.

The teacher is expected to teach the child how to be responsible for his actions.

The same teacher is also expected to teach the child how to do simple home chores.

The same teacher is expected to teach the child how to obey simple instruction,

That probably before the Financial Accounting the school employs him to teach.

One can't but wonder what the parent has actually taught the child.

My Submission

The children are innocent and should be treated as such, questions that need to be asked are:

Parent, how well did you train your child?

Society, how good is the content you exposed the child to?

Government, what program did you have for that child, the same child that is supposed to be the leader of tomorrow?

Teacher, are you really a teacher and not a cheater?

Until, the above questions are sincerely answered and all stakeholders are made to discharge their duties appropriately, what we have seen will be mere child's play to what we will see soon.

Sports / Sunday Oliseh Recommends Conviction Of Criminals As Solution To Nigeria Football by Akinpedia(m): 7:28am On Apr 24, 2022
Sunday Oliseh, former coach of the Super Eagles has suggested the conviction of criminals as one of the solutions to building Nigerian football.

Oliseh in his column, ‘Life is A Sport’ said if Nigerians – the FA, individuals and the government can secure the conviction of those who destroy Nigerian football, it will grow as others will desist from ruining it.

“Its (Nigerian football) state is so sad, that some of our citizens, maybe understandably, ignore our local league’s existence to the benefit of the English premier league or other worldwide football competitions.

“This has consequently, crippled the means of livelihood of thousands of home-based Nigerian professional footballers and the related commercial football economy linked to It.

“The catalyst multiplier effect of this decay runs in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, many are unaware of the consequences or are just plain tired of worrying and feel helpless!,”

When suggesting solutions to the problem, the former Fortuna Sittard coach wrote that fixing the league is of utmost necessity.

”Fix The Local League. How: for starters, introduce regulations and penalties that go as far as, but are not limited to criminal convictions. Etc…. for violations

“Enforcer? The National Football Federation, state FA’s, you, I, and especially the government.

“My point is, that effective government legislation and sanctions are needed and more to get our football back on track.

Career / How To Earn $1 Billion Before Age 30: Mark Zuckerberg's 7 Keys To Success by Akinpedia(m): 3:03pm On Apr 19, 2022
1. Realize That “Great Ideas” Aren’t Everything

The Winklevoss twins sued Zuckerberg for stealing their idea for a social network. But let’s be honest: the idea wasn’t that novel. It was Zuckerberg’s execution that made the difference. It was the little tweaks and hacks the pushed Facebook ahead of competitors.

As Zuckerberg later explained in a letter to investors,

“Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it—often in the face of people who say it’s impossible or are content with the status quo.”

The best way to achieve long-term success is to look for ways to continually improve. You don’t have to get everything perfect at first. Instead, keep iterating and failing fast so you can succeed sooner.

Work For A Cause, Not Just Applause


Facebook has changed the way we interact with each other, which was Zuckerberg’s goal from the start. “My goal was never to just create a company,”

Zuckerberg has said.

“Ultimately what not being just a company means to me, is…building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.”

When you aim for social impact, you’re far more likely to reach a wide audience. Embrace a larger vision for your company. Changing the way people do things will be more memorable than a “me-too” product.

Don’t Tie Yourself To Your Business Plan

No business plan has ever been followed step-by-step. As Zuckerberg said: “You have to be weary of working at a company and getting locked in.” In other words, you need to be flexible with your entrepreneurial pursuits.

Don’t get so locked in to one idea that you miss out on better opportunities. Facebook began as a hobby. If it hadn’t worked out, Zuckerberg would have been able to easily move on to something else.

Entrepreneurs should avoid getting too attached to a particular job or product. You never know how market changes could affect your business. Keep an open mind so you can be better equipped to handle the ups and downs of startup life.

Prioritize People Ahead Of Profits


Zuckerberg once said: “I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person.” His unique approach has led him to hire employees that have different strengths.

It goes to show that even the most talented people can’t do it alone. Marketing strategist and entrepreneur Brian Cliette says he follows Zuckerberg’s mindset when it comes to hiring.

“The right hire can make up for your individual weaknesses,”

he explains.

“This allows you to take your startup to the next level, without wasting time. Above all else, shared vision and complementary skill sets are essential for success.”

Help Others Find Purpose

When others buy into your vision, you’ll get better results. When people feel like they’re part of something bigger, they’ll work harder.

As Zuckerberg said, “One of my favorite stories is when John F. Kennedy visited the NASA space center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing.

The janitor responded: ‘Mr. President, I’m helping put a man on the moon’.” Surround yourself with people who buy into your vision. It’ll make them more enthusiastic about their role no matter how mundane it may seem.

Forget The Haters And Follow Your Vision

Even as it has grown into one of the world’s biggest brands, Facebook’s mission hasn’t changed much: “to make the world more open and connected.” Remaining true to your vision will allow you to achieve long-term success.

Jay Peters, director of PARK USA, says that Zuckerberg’s laser focus enabled Facebook to thrive in a world where MySpace and Friendster already existed.

“Everything from design and brand language to company culture should be developed in consistency with the overall company and business vision,”

he explained.

“This is one of the best and most critical ways to build a strong brand and value proposition for your customers.”

Don’t Be Afraid To Take Time Off

Entrepreneurs sometimes think they need to work non-stop to achieve any success. But Zuckerberg himself has proved this doesn’t have to be the case. Facebook provides four months of paid paternity leave to new parents.

Zuckerberg himself used this policy after his daughters were born, saying: “I’m pretty sure the office will still be standing when I get back.” Your business will survive without you. Take time off to recharge when necessary, and you’ll avoid getting burned out.

By using Mark Zuckerberg’s keys to success, you’ll be able to achieve greater results than before. You may not start the next Facebook, but you will be able to grow your business and make a lasting impact.

Good luck guys

Romance / The Silent Pain Most Husbands Are Experiencing Everyday by Akinpedia(m): 8:20pm On Apr 18, 2022
Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women.

Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer at the hands of their wives.
It is worse because men can't discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision.

Many men are suffering in silence

Unfortunately, Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counseling services. It's been mostly left to the Church or Mosque to deal with.

What happens when the man doesn't go to Church or Mosque?.
What happens when the woman doesn't believe in spiritual intervention?.

These women are raising daughters. Their daughters are hearing and seeing how they speak to and treat their husbands.

What kind of wives will they grow up to become?.
Those that treat their husbands as kings or those that believe husbands are nothing but verbal punching bags?.

We have all agreed and rightfully so that a man has no business hitting his wife. So how then do you stop a wife from raining verbal missiles at the husband?.

Leave the house?

Okay. But you will return and it will continue.

What next?.
Leave again?.
For how long?

Recently, I visited a senior friend, an important man in the society, and while we were downstairs discussing, the voice of his wife could be heard upstairs. She was spewing unimaginable bile against the man.

She called him all sorts of unprintable names.

Impotent
Wretched fool
Miserable man that was nothing when she married him etc.

This is a well-respected man. A father of 4 children. She tore at his very core and mocked everything society respected him for. She said he would soon crash and she will be there to laugh at him.

I was so uncomfortable as I beheld the man. He was shrunken before me. He was deflated. He tried to game fully continue the gist to distract me but it was not working. The woman's vitriol was a ceaseless torrent. An uncomfortable silence ensued. I excused myself and left his house.

I was really sad.

Do you want to know the truth?

This is what most men go through in their houses. The labor and toil and build respect but when they return home, the one who ought to speak to the king in them tears them to shreds and tries to deflate their self-esteem.

When they are outside, they try to act cheerful and happy but back home, they are shriveled because the person they live with makes it a point of duty to verbally assault them.

A sad story comes to mind.

There was recently a Nigerian Ambassador who was recalled because his wife released a story to the press that he beat her. She also released pictures showing fresh injuries on her body ostensibly inflicted by the man.

In a dramatic twist, their children came out to debunk the stories and said their mother faked the injuries to embarrass their dad.
_Grown-up children._

A particular sentence by the 1st son saddened me.

He said it was as if their mum woke up every morning with one mission in life:

"How to make their dad miserable."

They said they were witnesses to how their mum constantly harassed and abused their dad and wanted the whole world to know that their dad was not who their mum was painting him to be.

Yes, opinion shifted on the scandal but the damage had been done. The Ambassador was recalled and nobody heard from him again.

A family is currently at odds with the widow of their son and brother. The wife was constantly verbally assaulting him. Nobody wanted to visit them because each time they were around, it was always quarrels and the wife would call him unprintable names. Even in their presence.

When they try to interfere, she will give them their own. The man died recently of a heart attack caused by high blood pressure. He was in his late 40s. The family insists his wife sent him to his early grave with her verbal torments.

Our bars are filled with men who are afraid to go home to their wives for fear of what verbal torment they will go through. Men are finding every excuse to travel because they will rather be anywhere than in their own homes.

Everybody is focusing on men as culprits in domestic abuse.
Who is talking to the women?.```

I'M _JUST ASKING.

Religion / How Friendly Are You With Your Child/children? by Akinpedia(m): 8:38pm On Apr 16, 2022
Many parents think that if they are friends with their child that parenting will be easier—then their child will do what they want because they are friends. Most experts agree that while parents can and should be friendly toward their kids as well as fun to hang out with, at the end of the day they still need to accept the role of parent and not a friend.

Research shows that the lack of structure can actually weaken the parent-child relationship as well as make kids feel more controlled rather than less so. No parent should feel like a dictator. After all, you love and enjoy your kids and want to spend time with them.

The Risks of Not Being Friendly With Your Child/Children

A child lost money on his way to purchase what his mother sent him. He climbed the bridge to jump into the river before good Samaritans, caught him...!*

His fear was his mother... *Let him even die rather than fall into his mother's hand!* {After all, it is a fearful thing *to fall into the hand of mummy almighty!}*

A Certain Jambites drank sniper and committed suicide; (ask me why). They feared that they were warned never to come back *if they didn't pass their JAMB this time around.* Then they killed themselves rather than come back to their 'heavily harmed' parents!

A Lagos tout drank coke and refused to pay the little boy* that was left to cater for the shop. While the mother was away. He went after the tout to pay up...

The tout warned him* to lay off, that he has no money today. *The little boy followed the tout everywhere, with tears, begging him to give him his money...* People begged the boy to go back to the shop. He refused, *that his mother would kill him if he didn't recover that money!*

When the tout got more irritated, he turned and *sliced open the boy's Tommy with a sharp whatever...* and jumped into the crowd. *The boy's intestines poured out* and he dropped breathing!

People tried to pack back his intestines into his stomach but they got infected! The mother surfaced to see a *body* covered with sheets! The question is who killed the boy? The answer is, the mother!

A 12 yrs old girl ran away from home* because her maternal uncle was raping her. Why did she run? She said that if she complained to her mother* who was well known in the church, *she would kill her!*

Our children are supposed to confide in us* not to fear us

Daddy, mummy, it's negative when you pride yourself that your children are afraid of you!* You will be part of the dividend when they are not yours to have any longer. *Discipline your children, right? But* don't make them afraid of you so that they can tell you things when they are perturbed.

I do leave my phone number written on the class writing boards *after teaching sex education;* as I get home, I receive so many calls from babies, children, grown-ups...who tell me things they cannot tell their parents!

That is all shades of wrong!

Are you aware that *a 13-year-old JSS 3 student* in one of the schools confided in a counselor during a sex education session, that *she had done abortions twice?* *She was still living with her parents but they knew nothing* about what was happening under their noses because she mustn't disclose it to them!

*When your children fear you, you don't have them!* All About Parenting ���� Read and put to practice.

Make that your neighbor's child confide in you ever if he/she can't confide in their parents. Be a help to the helpless *, especially your own children.*

Education / 21 Positive Parenting Guides To Positively Discipline Our Children by Akinpedia(m): 6:58pm On Apr 16, 2022
As a parent, one of our jobs is to teach our children how to behave. It's a job that takes time and patience. But, it will help to learn effective and healthy discipline strategies. The guides will promote positive development in children and positive parent-child relationships.

These Guides are for the Parents��.

Don’t make your daughter's assistant parents to their brothers

If he scatters the room, tell him to arrange it. If he rough handles his clothes, he should wash them. Never make them feel that their sister is there to SERVE them.

Your boys should be fully involved in domestic chores

There should be a timetable — the day he sweeps cleans the house, and also cooks. You should let your sons know that everyone that loves eating should know how to cook! Let them know it’s a basic survival skill!!!!

Do not ask your girls to respect their brothers because they are boys. I see this a lot in homes

The parents will tell the girls: “why would you talk to him like that? He’s a man..”. No! Let your boys know that if they want respect from their girls, they must earn it!

Do not stop your boys from expressing vulnerability

Don’t tell them to man up. Don’t shame them for crying. Let them express their full humanness. Boys are humans. Boys have emotions. Boys should not suppress emotions.

When your girl child makes a mistake, do not say things like: “Is this how you’ll take care of your husband?”. Her life is more than having a man, teach her that things should be done right not because of having and ‘keeping’ a man!

Don’t compare your kids based on gender. Some parents do this

When their girl child is doing better than their boys, they say things like: “Are you not ashamed that your sister is doing better than you?! And you’re a boy...”. You‘re teaching him that excellence isn’t for women.

Make your boys feel accountable

Some parents will scold their girls over something they’ll ignore the boys when they do it. Don’t make your boys feel that their standards are lower, & women have higher moral standards! You’re breeding spoilt boys who become terrible partners.

Parents, you need to realize that more than you’re grooming your children, you’re almost grooming someone’s friend, wife, husband, and we have many imbalanced marriages because boys were groomed to feel so entitled, and not accountable.

We have many women suffering in marriages because they end up with grown men who can’t do anything that offer the barest minimum and expect maximum results. These women keep sticking with abusive men because as kids their parents made them feel keeping a man was all... Please Forward this to our parent platforms. Watch out for Part 2
