Ikokore nii oooo 😁😁😁

Happy birthday to Liam Mohbad

At 16, she became the fastest woman alive. At 19, they put her body in a car trunk—thinking she was dead.

Her name was Betty Robinson. This is the incredible true story of the Olympic champion who literally rose from the grave to prove the world wrong.

The story begins in 1928 on a train platform in Chicago. A high school science teacher named Charles Price was watching the commuters when he saw a teenage girl sprinting to catch a departing train. She was flying. Even though the doors closed before she reached them, Price was stunned to find her already sitting in her seat when he boarded. She had sprinted all the way to the other side of the station and entered through a different door.

The next day, Price grabbed a stopwatch and timed her in the school hallway. He looked at the watch, then at her, and said, “You should compete.”

Betty didn’t even know what that meant. At the time, she didn’t even realize women were allowed to run competitively. But just four months later, in only her fourth race ever, she was standing in Amsterdam at the 1928 Olympics.

She took the gold in the 100 meters, becoming the youngest woman in history to win the event. That record still stands today.

Chicago treated her like royalty. They gave her a 13-mile parade and 20,000 people cheered her name. She was the “Golden Girl” of America, with a future that looked perfect. Then, on a sweltering day in June 1931, everything shattered.

To escape the Chicago heat, Betty and her cousin went up in a small biplane. Minutes into the flight, the engine stalled. The plane plummeted into a marshy field. When a bystander reached the wreckage, he saw Betty’s body.

Her leg was broken in three places, her arm was shattered, and she had a deep gash across her forehead. He checked for a pulse and felt nothing.

Believing she was a corpse, the man lifted her into his car trunk and drove her straight to a mortician. It was the undertaker who noticed a tiny movement. “She’s still breathing!” he shouted.

Betty spent seven weeks in a coma. When she finally opened her eyes, the doctors didn’t give her hope. They told her, “You’ll never run again. You might never even walk properly.”

Her leg was now half an inch shorter than the other, held together by a heavy metal pin.

She spent months in a wheelchair and two years simply learning how to put one foot in front of the other. She sat in her living room and watched the 1932 Olympics pass her by.

But Betty wasn’t finished. She started with a crawl. Then a walk. Then a slow, painful jog.

By 1936, she did the impossible: she made the U.S. Olympic team for the Berlin Games. However, her body was still scarred. She couldn’t bend her knee enough to crouch into the starting blocks for a sprint. But in a relay race, runners start standing up. That was her narrow window of opportunity.

Money was tight. Her family was broke from the Great Depression and medical bills. While the men’s team was fully funded, Betty had to pay her own way.

She sold her ribbons, her pins, and her memorabilia—everything except her gold medal. She worked as a secretary to save every cent until she finally had enough to board the ship to Germany.

In Berlin, the German team was the heavy favorite. During the 4x100 relay final, Germany was leading. But as their final runner tried to take the baton, she dropped it. Betty didn’t blink.

She executed her leg of the race perfectly, handing off to her teammate who crossed the finish line first.

Against every medical odd, Betty Robinson stood on the podium again.

Gold.

Later in life, her daughter reflected on her mother’s grit, saying, “The first medal wasn’t as important to her as the '36 medal. The first was easier. The second, she had to work her tail off for.”

Betty lived to be 87, even carrying the Olympic torch in 1996. She proved that a “dead end” is only a dead end if you stop moving.

The world might tell you that you are “finished,” but you are the only one who decides when the race is over.

Shw will find her type with time I believe 😁😁😁

This case worst pass terrorism case because confusion everywhere

......I don't understand the story till now self 🤷

Jesu 😮.....you can't be serious?

mariovito:
I schooled in a Catholic university, that also runs a convent.

Either they're in dalliance with co sisters, other reverend brothers and fathers, or they're looking for young fresh male students to oil their engines.

Some even scheme to get into juicy offices like the accounts departments or the school microfinance bank, after a while that they've earned the trust of the chancellor, they disappear with the schools treasury and go and marry.

Thank you Maria.... Great is thy faithfulness Oh Lord.

Mariangeles:
It is written: The heavens declare the glory of GOD; and the firmament sheweth His handywork.

A bi? Because you will always read about their scandals with Rev. Fathers.

mariovito:
To entertain the reverend fathers, if you know what I mean

Gos bless him......he is more better than those rogue pastors we have here running after money than doing the will of God.

True repentance brings restoration

Sun, 12 Apr 2026

“Father, I have sinned.” Luke 15:18

The story of the prodigal son illustrates the meaning of true repentance. It’s about a young Jewish man who rebelled against all that he’d been taught, turned his back on his father, was lured by the bright lights of the big city, and ended up in a pigpen feeding swine. But he did three things that turned his life around. First, he changed his mind. “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!’” (v. 17 NIV).

Second, he redirected his will. “I will…go back to my father and say to him: ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you’” (v. 18 NIV). Third, he took action. “So he got up and went to his father” (v. 20 NIV). Repentance is a change of mind, which brings about a change of will, and results in a change of action. It led to the prodigal’s forgiveness and restoration to his family. Here are two things about sin you need to know: (1) God will uncover every sin you try to cover up. “Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts” (1 Corinthians 4:5 NKJV). (2) God will cover every sin you uncover. “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13 NKJV). Go ahead—confess and forsake your sin, and God will cover it with the blood of Christ. There is no good reason to wait. Do it now.

Fight for your marriage

Sat, 11 Apr 2026

“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians 5:21

Paul wrote: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Satan is the enemy of marriage. In order to defeat him, you must first know how to identify where, when, and how he’s at work. As long as you focus on fighting each other or blaming yourself, your marriage will continue to slide into further misery with each failed request for intimacy, each unmet expectation, and each day spent hopelessly wishing your spouse would change.

Sure, you need to learn better communication and learn how to forgive, and sickness or money problems need to be dealt with. But when you see these things as being sent from the same evil source, you can fight them so much more effectively. Do these two things: (1) Focus first on yourself. You know you can’t change anyone but yourself. And in many ways, you can’t even do that. You need God’s intervention in your own life right now (see 2 Corinthians 3:18). And you need to understand who God is calling you to be in your marriage. (2) Pray for and with your spouse (see Matthew 18:19). Prayer is indispensable in defeating the enemy of your marriage. Pray for direction in what God would have you do. If your spouse is willing, pray together and aloud if possible. Invite God to intervene in your marriage and to make it a demonstration of the work only He can do in two people’s lives. The truth is that you can experience Christ’s victory in your marriage.

Beating upon beating for him soon niyen.....😁😁😁.

How to “renew” your mind

Fri, 10 Apr 2026

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2

You were created for love, but you have learned to fear! The neurological love pathway in your brain consciously evaluates toxic thoughts, and as you choose to hand the situation over to God, you do not submit to fear. And love is the stronger of the two pathways! “There is no fear in love; but perfect love [the knowledge and acceptance of God’s unearned and unfailing love for us] casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect [mature] in love” (1 John 4:18 NKJV).

As a redeemed child of God, you are wired for love, which means that love is your normal default mode; it is designed to dominate. Regardless of the way you have chosen to react in the past, painful, toxic thoughts can be reconstructed, even toxic feelings you have been nursing for so long and are so familiar with that you think they are normal. You can analyse them and rewire them because of your brain’s neuroplasticity. This is what Paul meant: “Do not be conformed to this world [its values and thought patterns], but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Will this “renewing” happen overnight? No. Science shows that you need to practice using something at least seven times before it becomes part of you. As you keep doing this, God’s Spirit will work with you, and eventually you’ll be able to use this amazing love circuit of the brain to balance your reason and emotions. When you do that, you’ll take a giant leap in the direction of bringing all your thoughts, which produce your emotions, under control (see 2 Corinthians 10:5).

It's totally against the etiquette of a standard company anywhere in the world.

Live on purpose, for a purpose

Thu, 9 Apr 2026

“Be very careful, then, how you live…making the most of every opportunity.” Ephesians 5:15-16

If you make wise decisions now, you’ll have a better future. If you waste your time now, you’ll have regrets. That’s why you need to do the right thing when you have the opportunity to do it. Paul wrote: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20 NKJV). God is able to do great things as His power works through you.

So it’s not just about God doing things for you; He also wants to do things through you. Stop wishing your life would change, and start taking action! Pray and study God’s Word. And as He speaks to your heart, step out in faith and do what He leads you to do. God created you to live on purpose, for a purpose! He hasn’t just called you to be busy—He’s also called you to bear good fruit (see John 15:16 NKJV). It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. But you need to take time out to think about how you’re spending your time! Before you go to sleep, reflect on the things that filled your day: which of them fulfilled God’s plan and purpose and which of them were a distraction? Ask God to reveal the things that need to change and ways you can make better choices that line up with His wisdom. Then lean on Him for the strength you need to make those changes. If you do, you’ll be fulfilled, peaceful, and excited about how God is working in your life.

You can make a difference

“He [Andrew] first found his own brother Simon [Peter].…And he brought him to Jesus.” John 1:41-42

What do Billy Graham, Campus Crusade for Christ founder Bill Bright, Young Life founder Jim Rayburn, and the Navigators founder Dawson Trotman have in common? The answer is a Sunday school teacher named Henrietta Mears.

When Henrietta was thirty-eight years old, she moved from Minnesota to a burgeoning town called Hollywood, California. She taught Sunday school at First Presbyterian Church, and she eventually attracted an astounding attendance of 6,500 students. For four decades, she faithfully devoted herself to her passion of building a cradle-to-grave Sunday school. She also started a publishing company called Gospel Light and a successful conference centre called Forest Home. Additionally, she wrote a book, What the Bible Is All About, which has sold more than three million copies. It is impossible to estimate how many millions of people have heard the gospel through this woman and the Christian leaders she mentored and moulded for God. Take the ministry of just one of her students, Bill Bright. He started Campus Crusade for Christ, which at last count had 20,000 full-time staff plus 663,000 trained volunteers in 181 countries. Largely due to The Jesus Film project, Bill Bright’s organisation has reached over 3.4 billion people with the gospel—half the world’s population. Now you may not influence that many people, but you may influence one person who ends up influencing many others. Andrew, one of the twelve disciples, did that. He brought his brother Peter to Jesus, and Peter ended up bringing multitudes to Him. The point is—you can make a difference. All you have to do is make yourself available to God.

Haba! Even at the farm? 😀

Humble yourself, and try to make it right

Tue, 7 Apr 2026

“If you have been snared with the words of your mouth…Go, humble yourself.” Proverbs 6:2-3

In 1755, a twenty-three-year-old army colonel was running for a seat in the Virginia assembly, when he made an insulting remark as part of a campaign speech. It was addressed to a hot-tempered man named Payne, who responded by knocking the colonel down with a hickory stick. Soldiers rushed to the colonel’s assistance, and it appeared a full-blown fight would ensue.

But the would-be politician got up, dusted himself off, called off the soldiers, and quietly left the scene. The next morning, the colonel wrote to Payne requesting his presence at a local tavern. Payne obliged, but he wondered what motives and demands the colonel might make—perhaps an apology or even a duel. To Payne’s surprise, the colonel met him with an apology, asking forgiveness for his derogatory remarks and offering a handshake. Others may have viewed the move as politically expedient, but Colonel George Washington considered it personally imperative if he was to enjoy internal peace as he continued with his political campaign on his way to becoming America’s first president. Jesus said, “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly” (Matthew 5:23-25 NKJV). Solomon said, “If you have been snared with the words of your mouth…Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbour” (Proverbs 6:2-3 NASB1995). The word for you today is: Humble yourself, and try to make it right.

I can only pray for him to succeed. People don't believe anymore in the NNPC

THE MISTAKE WE IGBOS MAKE IN BUSINESS.

One thing we have prided with for long is that "We build our businesses without government help. We don't need government."

Again I used to chorus this statement that we Igbos are the only tribe that build businesses without needing government.

Pure ignorance.

I followed popular opinion.

I also noticed that the prosperity message in Christianity today borders on...

"You don't need them (govt). The church has become rich without them."

The organization actually became rich and not the individual members.

Wealth is still in the hands of the world .

This belief was actually sponsored by Satan to deceive us . ..

Kai!

Wrong beliefs are poisonous.

Then one day I was reading the Bible and then suddenly the Holy Spirit began to Open my mind to see that the whole dominion God gave to the children of Adam is to be demonstrated through government.

All the wealth in a territory is in the custody of the government and whoever sits on that seat.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu can destroy this DANGOTE and raise another one in 24 hours.

So big money can only come through government.

There's only very little that your efforts can give you.

I saw from the Bible that God promised to make Abraham rich.

But He used kings Pharoh and Abimelech.

Isaac because rich through a security pact and privileges with the philistine government.

Joseph became rich through government.

Daniel became rich through government.

God preserved Israel in famine through the government.

Even in the world today.

Tell me the billionaire in the world who didn't become mega rich through government contracts, subsidy or monopoly?

Not one.

Elon musk is enjoying huge government contracts and tax cuts.

Dangote is enjoying huge government privileges, monopoly and contracts.

But Igbos always stay away and say "We don't need government".

And for that reason, the Igboman will be rich .. but not the kind of money people have in Kano or Lagos.

Mega money can only come through government privileges.

You'll say to me, "what about pastors like Bishop David Oyedepo? They don't take contracts."

But they've raised sons and daughters in ministry who enjoy these privileges and they come to him with bags of money.

Develop any app now, the moment the government ratifies it, you don blow .

Ratifying it means approving it to be used within its territory by everyone and organization.

So Igbos hardly go to the stock market.

They hardly seek monopoly.

They hardly use government access..

We're cheating on ourselves.

Did you know that the biggest corporations in Nigeria are owned by mainly the Yorubas and Northerners?

That's because they learned that on their own, they can't achieve much.

One has to use government help.

That's why most igbo businesses easily fail.

Ibeto cement

Ekenedirichukwu

ABC Transport

And so many companies like that just disappeared because of this problem.

This was the mistake of those who came before us

Our generation who now know this secret should not sleep.

How I wish they will see this your simple solution to their problems now. Like you wrote, ego will kill them. I only feel for my friend that's in ADC party and verying for a post in Oyo State. 😔

phemray:
This thing is very simple, negotiate with the nafiu Gombe, let him withdraw the court case and proceed to your Congress. But no, ego will never allow them. This is the point Asiwaju is always far ahead of them in disputes resolution. Buhari insisted on Adamu as APC chairman, Tinubu agreed for peace to rain towards the election and he changed him at the appropriate time.

What is ADC doing right now to meet up with the condition of INEC?
Time is going ooo

Healing for your mind

Mon, 6 Apr 2026

“Be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind.” Ephesians 4:23

We are three-part beings: spirit, soul, and body. When we make Jesus Lord of our lives, our spirit receives healing from spiritual death. But there are still two areas that need Christ’s healing touch: our souls (mind, emotions, and will) and our physical bodies. God’s Word teaches us that physical health and mental health are irrevocably linked. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV).

What we think about ourselves is inevitably what we become. Unhealthy thinking produces unhealthy living. John wrote: “I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 1:2 NKJV). For any area where our souls are sick—whether it be low self-esteem, negative thoughts, or destructive habits—the Word of God is the answer to nourishing us into a balanced and healthy state. The majority of Satan’s attacks begin in the mind. He uses wrong thoughts and images in our minds to lead us away from God’s best. The only way to counteract this is to stand on God’s Word and allow His healthy thoughts to permeate our thinking daily. Thoughts of fear can be replaced with thoughts of faith. Thoughts of lack can be replaced with thoughts of provision. Thoughts of failure and depression can be replaced with thoughts of success and joy. How does this happen? Paul answered: “Be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], and put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image” (Ephesians 4:23-24 AMPC).

Happy Easter bro...and to all Nairalanders too. Special greeting to Seun & family.

May the Resurrection of Christ bring us good luck and may our nation prosper!

I'm talking about what I know......not what you are reading on papers. Quote me, the British Royal house migrated from Germany.

Nah, bro. The UK is civilization. The rest of Europe is a pig pen with wifi.

You can't compare Britain to Germany in all aspect of life. That was the reason I said that "if not for the language barrier".

Jesus conquered death for you

Sun, 5 Apr 2026

“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.” Matthew 28:6

One day your heart will give a final pulse, and your lungs empty a final breath. And barring the return of Christ, you will die. The psalmist asked, “What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave?” (Psalm 89:48 NKJV). Young and old, good and bad, rich and poor; neither gender is spared; no class is exempt. “No one has power over the time of their death” (Ecclesiastes 8:8 NIV). The geniuses, the rich, the poor—no one outruns or outsmarts it. Julius Caesar died. Elvis died. John Kennedy died. Princess Diana died. We all will die. We won’t escape death. The finest surgeon might enhance your life but can’t eliminate your death.

The Hebrew writer was blunt: “People are destined to die once” (Hebrews 9:27 NIV). Exercise all you want. Eat nothing but healthy food, and pop fists full of vitamins. Stay out of the sun, away from alcohol, and off drugs. Do your best to stay alive, and still, you will die. Death seems like such a dead end until we read Jesus’ resurrection story: “He is not here; for He is risen, as He said…Go quickly and tell His disciples…He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him…So they went out quickly…to bring His disciples word…Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him” (Matthew 28:6-17 NKJV). For the redeemed child of God, death is not the end but the beginning of a glorious life in heaven that will have no end.
