EducationRe: 7 Things To Do If You Want 2026 To Work Out Very Well For You by Bubbyboo2(m): 5:37pm On Jan 19
Growwithdestiny:
1️⃣ Stop depending on one income
Inflation doesn’t respect salaries.
One income is no longer security — it’s risk. Start building an extra source now.

2️⃣ Learn a high-income skill
Degrees are good, but skills pay faster.
Sales, marketing, tech, content, or copywriting can change your income within months.

3️⃣ Fix your spending habits
It’s not always low income — sometimes it’s poor money control.
Track where your money goes and cut what doesn’t grow you.

4️⃣ Protect your focus
Distractions are expensive.
Reduce gossip, endless scrolling, and environments that drain your drive.

5️⃣ Invest in knowledge, not just enjoyment
Courses, books, and mentorship will always beat parties and flexing.
What you learn now will pay you later.

6️⃣ Start something small, but scalable
You don’t need big capital.
You need something that can grow — online business, digital products, or services.

7️⃣ Take action, not motivation
Motivation fades.
Consistency is what changes lives. Even small steps daily will shock you in 12 months.
Above all, there is no manual to life, just pray mother nature favor you.

It is not natural to tie yourself sexually to the same person for along time.

Couples should learn to allow their partners have sex with other people once in a while, it helps to keep the relationship alive.

CrimeIbom Air Assault Case Not Same As KWAM 1 Incident, Says NCAA by Bubbyboo2(op): 8:41am On Aug 12, 2025
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has said the incident involving Comfort Emmanson, the passenger who allegedly assaulted Ibom Air crew members, is different from the case of Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1.

NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mike Achimugu, stated this during an X Space session on Monday.

He explained that the regulatory body did not direct the airline to prosecute or ban Emmanson, noting that Ibom Air acted independently based on available evidence.

He said, “In this case, the airline exercised its rights to do what they needed to do, right? And AON, based on some of the evidences already available, because while the investigations are ongoing, you can still be working with what is available to you.

“Now, for you who say you are in the industry, when you see a passenger hitting a cabin crew member in the way the lady was doing, and the fight she had with the people who came to restrain her, you may have to agree that the airlines had every right to announce a ban.

“Yeah, of course, one would expect that at the end of all of these things, maybe the ban could be shortened or even removed altogether.

“But as of the moment, if they feel that that’s the right thing, because again, don’t forget, airline staff are also human beings, and they’re also fellow Nigerians.

“Some of them are your brothers and your sisters, too. And they deserve the same courtesy that passengers also deserve. Now, nobody deserves to be beaten up or hit in the manner that occurred in this flight.”

Achimugu said the Airline Operators of Nigeria acted within its rights, citing other past incidents where lack of evidence hindered regulatory action.

“Remember, there was an airport incident where three drunk people had mid-air between London and Nigeria, caused a situation that could have crashed that flight.

“To date, Air Peace feels aggrieved that nobody issued an advisory for those passengers to be blacklisted. But you see, evidence of what happened on board was not made available to the NCAA. So it became a case of he said, she said.

“I just want to put it out there very clearly that the NCAA did not issue an advisory to AON, and AON is within its right to ban any passenger, to blacklist a passenger. Just to make this clear,” he said.

He added that while Ibom Air swiftly charged Emmanson to court, ValueJet did not press charges in KWAM 1’s case, prompting NCAA to petition the authorities.

Achimugu stated that the airline has the right to pursue prosecution, adding that the matter could still be resolved amicably.

“Cabin crew are in charge of, apart from your comfort, safety and security and everything on the aircraft. We have the authority there. Blocking the path of somebody who has assaulted you is also a form of restraint.

“She wanted to restrain the passenger without laying hands on her, she’s within her rights to do so. I don’t know if it’s standard practice. I will have to check with director Afsek at the NCAA to check the documents and see. But look, there are different ways to restrain an unruly passenger. Standard practices can always evolve and change,” he concluded.

PoliticsWhy PDP Agreed To Wike’s Demands by Bubbyboo2(op): 9:21am On Aug 11, 2025
In a bid to ease internal tensions and strengthen its prospects ahead of the 2027 elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has agreed to key demands from former Rivers State governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Highly placed party sources told Vanguard in Abuja last night that the decision formed part of a wider strategy to unify the party and address lingering grievances within its ranks.

Wike, a major powerbroker in the PDP, had insisted on zoning of the party’s presidential ticket to the South, the appointment of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary, and strict adherence to the South-South and South -Sast zoning convention.

According to insiders, the party leadership has now accepted these demands, removing what they say is any justification for Wike to continue opposing its direction.

The party has sat down and agreed to address everything Wike wants. He wants Anyanwu as the secretary of the party, to allow it to proceed. He wants a declaration from the party leaders that the presidential ticket will be zoned to the South.

‘’The party has accepted this. So, on what basis will Wike now fight the party? There’s no basis,” a senior party source disclosed.

The development comes amid growing unease over factionalisation within the PDP, following the reported collapse of the G5, a bloc of governors who opposed the party’s leadership under Senator Iyorchia Ayu and its 2023 presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, before the last general elections.

The G5, also known as the Integrity Group, emerged in the build up to the 2023 presidential election to push for leadership changes within the party.

Initially comprising five governors: Wike (Rivers), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Seyi Makinde (Oyo), the faction has now gone down to three, leaving Wike increasingly isolated.

“The G5 was initially a strong force, but it’s now a G3. Makinde left first, then Ortom. Wike is now left with Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu, but their influence has significantly diminished. Even if they still call themselves the G5 or G3, they are no longer a formidable force politically,” another source explained.

Party insiders see the move to placate Wike as a calculated step to prevent further defections and shore up support in the South-South and South-East, where he retains considerable influence.

This is seen as important, ahead of PDP’s November convention, when zoning and leadership questions will be settled.

Meanwhile, the PDP is keeping a close eye on the possible political return of former President Goodluck Jonathan, whose hesitation in declaring his intentions for 2027 has left the party guessing.

Some believe Jonathan’s candidacy could reshape the political landscape, especially if paired with a running mate such as former Kano governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Jonathan can destabilise the PDP if he enters the race. But if he stands up and says, ‘Kwankwaso is my running mate for 2027,’ that would be the end of it.

‘’You can’t stop them. Jonathan has no issues in the South-Sast and South-South, even with Obi. He’s the only one who can truly influence Obi not to run,” a party insider noted.

A senior party figure also highlighted what he described as a structural advantage enjoyed by the Northern political bloc.

“The Hausa-Fulani political bloc is far more sophisticated than others. Nigeria is one of the few countries in the world that holds elections on a Saturday, a practice that has significant strategic implications.

‘’Most nations conduct elections on weekdays, such as Tuesday or Thursday, but our Saturday voting allows key political blocs, particularly in the north, to hold crucial decision-making meetings on Fridays.

“This tradition has given the northern political bloc a distinct advantage, as they enter elections armed with the outcomes of these Friday meetings, prepped and ready to execute their strategies. This has been their practice for years, and it’s one of the reasons they’ve maintained such a stronghold on power,” he said.
