His Excellency,
the governor of Anambra state Prof. Chukwuma Soludo OON,
Government house Awka
Anambra state.

Sir,
RE: SERIAL UNBECOMING CONDUCT/CORRUPT PRACTICES OF HON. TONYCOLLINS NWABUNWANNE, THE COMMISSIONER FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND CHIEFTAINCY AFFAIRS ,WHICH HE HABITUALLY CLAIMS TO BE YOUR DIRECTIVE .

IS HIS APPOINTMENT INLINE WITH THE SOLUTION AGENDA?
----------------------------------------

The above commissioner in question has practically turned Umuchu town into his regular bank account funders. It has become his corruption play ground. Take the case of Umuchu 2024 chieftaincy coronation incident where he showcased his notorious corruption personified culture like his Ifitedunu mess, he fostered and personally listed 21 individuals to be coronated as Chiefs in a singular Ofala. It was record breaking. It was so heated up in the town that all the 21 individuals were coronated along the streets of Umuchu and the regular bar .

His partner in the epic corruption is one Mr Chinedu Ezeoha who is essentially a " fixer". In an attempt to portray due process, in a letter dated the 19th day of February 2025, referenced as MLGCCA/CM/56/T/208, which is attached and marked (A), hon. Tonycollins Nwabunwanne warned against the coronation of Chiefs, a directive he claimed to have come from your office .

He caught the town unawares when he made a corruption-induced U-turn and wrote a second letter dated the 27th day of February 2025, 7days after the first letter, with reference number MLGC/076/T/277 not only allowing the Chieftaincy coronation but also, he personally listed out the 21 individuals that will be coronated as Chiefs and every single one of them was said to have paid 2 million naira each to him. All this was facilitated by his " fixer" Chinedu Ezeoha . The letter in question is attached and marked " B".

The conflicting two letters came with a boiling point environment in the town and hence the embarrassing along the road chieftaincy coronation. Both beneficiaries of the epic corruption, hon Tonycollins and Mr Chinedu Ezeoha smiled to their respective banks .

The huge problem in our town presently is yet another letter from Hon. Tonycollins Nwabunwanne which he again claimed to be your directive. In the very letter, contrary to Umuchu culture and tradition and without any consultation with our traditional ruler, he imposed what he called supreme council Ozo scheme on us. Under the scheme, every intending Nze na Ozo individual must spend between 8 million and 10 million naira and must belong to his Supreme council Ozo which was registered in 2024. His 'fixer" Chinedu Ezeoha is the head of extortion outfit. The letter in question is dated the 25th day of June 2025 , with reference number MLGCCA/CM/076/T.2/28 . It is hereby attached and marked( C).

The mind blowing aspect of it all is that, in a letter written by the traditional ruler of Umuchu , Igwe Godson Ezechukwu OON, dated the 18th day of June 2025, he spelled out the culture and tradition of our town as it concerns Nze na Ozo. It was completely ignored by hon Tonycollins Nwabunwanne . Attached and marked (D) is the letter under reference.

I am very much aware that his Excellency is not aware of all these fraudulent schemes of hon. Tonycollins Nwabunwanne and hence this my petition. He is a native of Anam, his supreme council Ozo scheme will work there perfectly and not in Umuchu. We will continue to practice our culture and tradition as was layed out by our traditional ruler.

Whereby I pray you as follows:

A. Re-visiting of his appointment as a Commissioner in the light of the following;

(i), He is notorious on such activities in all the towns in Anambra state. The Ifitedunu town incident is a reminder.
(ii) He contributes nothing to the political portfolio of the Soludo administration other than a gallery of corruption.

B. Contacting of the palace of our traditional ruler, Igwe Godson Ezechukwu OON for a guided damage control of his unbecoming letter that is all but certain to be ignored.

I remain your supporter like Umuchu in general for all that our town has derived from your administration and your performance in general.

I will greatly appreciate it if this my petition is given an attention.

Yours faithfully,
Ichie Paul Okpala
(Ozo Akuruoulo Umuchu)

Few days ago, the notorious Awkuzu SARS Was Once Again In The News On Allegations Of Extra Judicial Killings, Illegal Arrests And Organ Harvesting.

The allegation was made by a runaway insider at the police command.

Most social media influencers published the news and inferred them to be factual without any form of verification or attempt to hear from the other sides before taking a stand.

Till Now,

Amongst The Pen Warriors Of Anambra Social Media Community, Writers And Social Activists, Only Uloka Chukwubuikem Has Approached The Zone 13 For Their Own Side Of The Story Over The Allegations Levelled Against Them.

The rest are on social media sharing and reinforcing one sided narratives.

I do not blame the public because The Nigerian PF in general and particularly Awkuzu SARS has a terrible reputation that precedes them but I can assure you that if this happened in the south west, the western media houses and independent reporters would beseige the police command headquarters the next day on a fact finding mission.

Here is the south east, the reverse is the case.

While the public can be excused for this type of bandwagonism and gullibility, there is no excuse for someone who identifies as a journalist, a social media reporter, an unbiased influencer or a civil rights activist to take a stand on such a sensitive allegation without seeking to hear from the other side.

How do you judge and convict an accused without making any attempt to balance opinion by hearing from the other side?
In journalism, This is unprofessionalism and profound incompetence.

Dear Social Media Writer,

If you truly love Anambra state

If you truly want to see justice done on this issue.

The best thing to do is to keep an open mind and kindly walk down to Zone 13, identify yourself as a social media reporter and demand to see the commissioner of police or an officer from the PPR department and demand for the facts of this case.

I can assure you that every declassified information available on the issue will be made available to you.

It is shameful for a reporter who want to be impartial to put pen to paper without have a balanced view of the subject they are writing on.
While the media mob are allowed to jump into conclusions, a reporter is expected to remain neutral until you collate and sample the various opinions before reporting.

As a matter of fact, professional ethics demand that a reporter remains neutral even at the point of putting own to paper.

While you join the mob without seeking or at least waiting for a balanced opinion, Make sure that you are not aiding the bad eggs. make sure you are not fighting a proxy war for crime. Make sure that you are not reinforcing blackmail and influencing for the criminal elements amongst the police force.

It is a fact that the police force has a lot of corrupt, terrible and deadly characters but that does not mean that we should throw away our think cap and believe every allegation levelled against them.

Without these people, you and I will not walk the streets freely or sleep at night

In Anambra South, it got so bad that our people had to flee their homes and camp in IDP camps.

To do burial or wedding, you must pay.

Daring to challenge the criminals means instant death.

The siege in Anambra South is not child's play and if you believe that fighting the criminality going on at ukpor, Mbosi, Lilu, Ihiala etc is bread and butter then you are very ignorant.

Anambra State is gradually coming out from an era where people are being kidnapped and beheaded with impunity. Most indigenes of these affected areas no longer come home.

We are gradually coming out from a terrible period where our people now do traditional marriages and even burial ceremonies in Lagos and Abuja.

Any sensible person who has access to information should be grateful to the JTF for the success they have achieved thus far.

If ENDSARS has not taught us a lesson as a people then there is no hope for us or our future.

When you weaken the security agencies, you encourage crime and crime fighting is not child's play.

In every story, you must know that there are three sides
✓Your side
✓My side
✓The truth

As a writer, your report can never be sound if you have not heard from both sides.

When you hear from both sides, your report becomes more informed and the truth becomes the sole prerogative of the audience.
Instead of sitting in your comfort zone writing trash and ignorantly attacking people, I urge you and every other responsible reporter, social media activist, influencer etc to walk down to Zone 13 and make independent Inquires.

Ask vital questions

Ask for clarification on why and how someone who is still doing NYSC got to the rank that the accuser is

Ask if the accusations of flamboyant life style is real or fake and demand for evidence.

Ask questions on issues of organ harvesting.

Interrogate the police, it is not rocket science.

That is the only way to find out the truth because I believe that credible intelligence reports and evidences will be made available to you. Then you become aware of a lot of facts that you wouldn't have seen from the comfort of your home.

Sitting at the comfort of your home and attacking those who made this move dosn't make you smart, it makes you a thoughtless and gullible person.

Worthy to note is that every party to this scandal has submitted themselves to the IG for investigation, why is the accuser the only person on the run?

Assuming that his claim that he fears for his life is true, does the Anambra commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of police want to kill him too?

Why not submit yourself to the CP and IG personally to aid investigation if you are innocent?

The public interest in the case alone is enough to ensure that no harm comes to him.

If he is the innocent victim he wants the public to believe he is, why is he still on the run at this point?

Once in a while, It is necessary to sit back and think before taking a stands on issues like this.

The crowd is not always right.

An Insider Report:

On the 11th of January 2023, A tactical joint task force team led by Patrick Agbazue laid siege and arrested Mr Chibuike Ekwueme at Mbosi community in Anambra State.

Intelligence reports intercepted by police headquarters Abuja suggested that the suspect Mr Chibuike Ekwueme has allegedly concluded plans to smuggle rocket propelled grenade Launchers (RPG’s) into Anambra state.

The joint task force who made the arrest comprised men of the Nigerian Army, The Nigerian Police Force and Anambra Vigilante Services.
Among the police contingent was a 26 year old cyber security expert named Daniel Nnamdi Emeh.

For record purposes, Daniel is a tracker and IT guy whose job is to help security agents’ track down suspects. He can hack into anything anywhere in the world and has the capacity to write spyware programs that can be installed and controlled remotely.

Daniel Emeh worked as SSA to Governor Willie Obiano on cyber security matters and at the end of the administration, he lobbied his way into the Nigerian police force where he is currently running his NYSC program.

Inside sources revealed that Daniels latest spyware bug can tap into any phone or laptop camera and microphone to acquire both audio and visual command of any remote personal space without detection. In layman’s terms, Daniel has the technological knowhow to enable him tap into anybody’s phone and spy on the person through the phone camera or listen to/record discussions through the phones microphone without detection.
He is very good at what he does and to his credit, our sources admitted that his expertise led to the successful tracking and arrest of many high profile suspects especially in Ukpor/Nnewi axis of Anambra south and the entire Anambra state.

His expertise helped in the arrest of Mr Chibuike Ekwueme and so many others within and outside the state.

It is this high level tech knowledge that enables him stealth access into people’s phones and computers, Emails, bank accounts and social media account etc. His ability to descramble lock codes, bypass security firewalls and gather sensitive materials from remote locations was the reason why he was allowed to work with the past Anambra state Governor and security agents.

At Awkuzu SARS where Daniel worked as SSA to Patrick Agbazue, he was revered for his technical capabilities and accorded regards reserved for senior officers due to his relevance to critical crime fighting and crime prevention missions.

Outside police work, Daniel Nnamdi Emeh spends his free time running an online platform known as GISTLOVER.

He focuses on gathering personal information’s by hacking into the devices of influential people after which he deploys these sensitive personal data into a tool to fleece and blackmail his long list of victims within Nigeria and abroad.
Daniel used his influence in the Obiano administration to secure his NYSC posting to Awkuzu SARS where he served as a senior special assistant on cyber security matters.

THE CRACK:
During the perimeter search on the house of MR Chibuike Ekwueme during his arrest on the 11th of January, 2023. The security agents of the joint task force reportedly recovered several arms and ammunition within the residence of the suspect.

As the security agents were combing and searching the house, Daniel Nnamdi Emeh tagged along as he was responsible for recovering all IT related exhibits from the raid.

When the search team entered the living room of Chief Chibuike Ekwueme, an insider revealed that Daniel became incensed when he saw a brand new playstation 5 connected to the television at the living room of the suspect. He attempted to take possession of the PS5 probably as a personal souvenir for himself but was resisted by Patrick Agbazue who ordered him to drop the expensive game console as it was not an exhibit. He instructed him to restrict and limit himself to recovering only phones and laptops as those were gadgets qualified to be labeled as exhibit and will most likely have information that will aid further investigation.

The public nature of the reprimand in front of the other members of the JTF who were on the raid was most likely what incensed and angered Daniel Nnamdi Emeh. He felt humiliated as he later revealed to one of the junior officers who was present during the public reprimand by his boss Patrick.

The source revealed that Daniel felt that his boss should have treated him with some respect and privacy considering the fact that he was highly instrumental to the success of the raid. He felt that Patrick should have allowed him take the game console as personal reward for helping track and arrest the suspect or at least to have spoken to him privately to drop the play station instead of rebuking him openly in front of the other junior officers. His ego was bruised. Our sources reveal that ever since that very incident, Daniel was never the same. He evolved into a totally different person.

When the team came back from the raid, the commissioner of police gifted Daniel N60k in appreciation for helping track and arrest the suspect but that gesture was not enough to assuage or placate Daniels bruised ego.

For the next few days, his countenance and disposition to work changed. He began to show up to work moody and stone faced. He also began to exhibit unusual hostile behaviors towards his boss Patrick and other senior officers within the outfit. At that point, inside sources revealed that nobody knew that Daniel has hatched a sinister plan to get something else worth more than the Playstation game console. Nobody knew that he has also hatched plans to also get back at Patrick for what he felt was a public humiliation and lack of appreciation for his efforts.

Back at the station, inside sources revealed that Daniel discreetly withheld one of the phones recovered from the raid while he was cataloguing the inventory of items recovered from Mr Chibuke Ekwueme’s House. He was alleged to conceal and successfully smuggle the phone out of the police command the same day and nobody suspected a thing until few days later.

The HEIST and THE PRINCESS:
On the 14th of January 2023, Three days after the raid at Mbosi community and the arrest of Chibuike Ekwueme, A lawyer identified only As Barr. Nweke walked into the premises of Zone 13 police command Ukpo and demanded to speak with the PPRO SPO Princess Nkiru Nwode.
During the meeting, the lawyer identified himself as legal representative of Mr Chibuike Ekwueme who was arrested three days earlier. The lawyer informed SP Princess Nkiru Nwode that a huge sum of money (over N120million) has been removed from the suspects account while he was on police custody.

A bewilded SP Princess Nkiru Nwode swung into action immediately and personally led a contingent of senior police officers from the intelligence and investigation unit of zone 13 and they headed to Awkuzu SARS when she instantly ordered an internal investigation.
Things began to unravel when Daniel Nnamdi Emeh failed to show up for briefing when Princess and her team arrived at Awkuzu SARS to launch the inquiry.

Every other officer involved in the raid showed up except Daniel, the NYSC tech guy.

All attempt to reach him on phone proved abortive.

At this point, it dawned on Patrick Agbazu and other officers of the command that something has gone seriously wrong.
SP Princess Nkiru Nwode and her team through the intervention of the CP hurriedly secured a court order to enable the bank to release information and data pertaining to the compromised bank account of Chief Chibuike Ekwueme which will enable the investigating team access the details of the movement of the stolen monies and the accounts where the missing funds were transferred to.


THE BANK JOB:
Information retrieved from the bank showed that the missing N126million was transferred into the account of one Chief Iloama Oliver. Further background checks revealed that Chief Iloama is the deputy chairman of stock exchange Onitsha.

Princess and her team swung into action immediately, they tracked down Chief Oliver Iloama in an early morning raid at his residence and arrested him. (Chief Oliver Iloama is still in detention as at press time aiding the investigation)

During interrogation, Chief Oliver Iloama told policemen that he gave the stolen money to a certain Onyedika Peter Obiora who is a banker with Sterling Bank Port Harcourt road Onitsha to change the entire sum in to dollars.

Princess and her team did not relent,

On the 18th of January 2023, they tracked down the banker Mr Onyedika Peter Obiora at his work place and arrested him instantly.

During interrogation, the banker revealed that he handed the money to his in-law who is a DSS personnel identified as Chukwudi Paul Okoli. He added that Chukwudi came to his house at Asaba in company of Nnamdi Daniel Emeh and picked up the money (now in dollars) about two days earlier and left to an unknown location before his arrest.

SP Princess Nkiru Nwode informed force head quarters Abuja of the development and secured approval to reclassify the matter as an interstate/inter agency crime with multiple suspects.

Backed by trackers and intelligence from the headquarters, she and her investigation team tracked down Chukwudi Paul Okoli to DSS office in Edo state but by the time they got to benin, the main suspect, Nnamdi Daniel Emeh has escaped and gone into hiding.

The team did not back down instead they intensified surveillance and intelligence gathering but Daniel Nnamdi Emeh was always one step ahead.

Being an expert in the field, our sources on the inside revealed that Mr Daniel Nnamdi Emeh doesn’t use any registered SIM that can be tracked and when he makes calls to some of his tracked contacts, he made sure he doesn’t stay on air for more than 25 seconds to avoid being tracked. He also goes to strange location to make these calls so as to mislead the trackers working with Princess and her team. He subsequently destroys any SIM he uses immediately he ends his calls as some of these broken SIM cards has been recovered from his past call locations.

He is currently on the run.

POLICE COMPLICITY:
Inside sources revealed that Nnamdi Daniel Emeh has a long record of criminality which was either overlooked or out rightly ignored by the Nigerian police force.

During his days as a business administration student at UNIZIK, he was alleged to have murdered a lecturer at the university where his father Prof Emeh also works. Our sources revealed that the murder incident was part of what led to the termination of his father’s engagement with the university.

Aside using his GISTLOVER platform to blackmail and defraud people during his spare time, Nnamdi Daniel Emeh was recently arrested and detained at the force headquarters Abuja for conspiring with some junior officers to steal N20million from victim.

The victim was a reported to be a personal friend of Nnamdi Daniel Emeh and when he found out that his friend come into some money via internet fraud known in local parlance as Yahoo Yahoo, Nnamdi Daniel Emeh secretly colluded with some of his friend who were alleged to be IRT officers to effect an unlawful arrest of his friend.

His friend never knew that Nnamdi was the brain behind his travails as he worked from behind the scenes. The officers allegedly confiscated the victim’s phone which they secretly handed over to Nnamdi Daniel Emeh, who successfully moved N20million from the account.
Nnamdi Daniel Emeh successfully diverted N14Million and gave his 6 accomplices N1million each claiming that the account had only 7 million.
Sources close to him told our reporter that he spent a large sum of the N14million loot on procuring high tech security devices and software’s to enable him remain untraceable and untrackable as many of his high profile victims who he blackmailed with his GISTLOVER platform were trying to fish him out.

Trouble started when the victim who managed to start a friendship with one of the officers while in detention revealed to the officer after his release that he lost N20million from his account instead of the N7million which Nnamdi Daniel Emeh claimed he got.

The officers went livid and confronted Nnamdi Daniel Emeh and that confrontation led to a fight that exposed the cartel.

They were all arrested and taken to force headquarters Abuja for questioning and interrogation and till date no one knows how and why Nnamdi Daniel Emeh was released and why he wasn’t sanctioned instead he found his way back into Anambra stste government as an SSA To Obiano from where he made his way back into the police formation.

CRIME FIGHTING BACK:
Nnamdi Daniel Emeh (now a fugitive) has been declared wanted by the Nigerian police. He has gone underground and has since been deploying various tactics to harass, taunt and threaten SP Princess Nkiru Nwode, Patrick Agbazu and other officers who have been on his trail since his ran away after executing the N126million heist on Chief Chibuike Ekwueme’s account.

In one of his voice messages to one of the junior officers who was close to him before he absconded, he threatened to mess Princess Nwode and Patrick Agbazue up. He bragged that he had the capacity to use the media to derail the investigation and slow down the hunt until the trail gets cold.

Unfortunately, he seems to have partially accomplished that threat.

In one of the recorded voice message made available to our reporter, Nnamdi Daniel Emeh bragged that he is in "ghost mode" and totally untraceable. He claimed that he can only be found if he wants to be found but without that, anybody trailing him is going on a wild goose chase as he will always be one step ahead as he has the capacity to track every movement made by his trackers.

The inside source revealed that Nnamdi Daniel Emeh allegedly bragged that he will keep Princess Nkiru Nwode and Patrick Agbazue busy with his online platform since they have free time to spend hunting him instead of going after real criminals.

He accused the duo of refusing to allow him to "enjoy his sweat" and "eat the fruit of his labour in peace".


OUR FINDINGS:
Nnamdi Daniel Emeh’s grudge against Princess Nkiru Nwode is most likely related to her alleged role as investigating officer in his previous arrest relating to the N20million theft and her current role in investigating his present robbery involving the N126million stolen from the account of Chief Chibuike Ekwueme.

For his boss, Patrick, Nnamdi Daniel Emeh reportedly bragged to some junior officers close to him that he will deal with Patrick decisively and make sure he is sacked for disrespecting and humiliating him publicly at Mbosi over an ordinary play station game in-front of junior officers and men of the JTF.

He is alleged to insist that suspect money is not police property and therefore the police has no right to question him or investigate him over monies which he claimed were proceeds of crime and therefore belongs to “nobody”.

He further allegedly claimed that without him that the police wouldn't have recovered the money or arrested the suspect and therefore it was better that he took the money for himself instead of allowing it to be used to import RPG into the state.

CONCLUSION:
While we wait for the official report of the police investigation panel set up by the IG, The leadership of the various security agencies passively and actively involved in this scandal has some questions that need to be addressed publicly in order to restore and reinforce the dwindling confidence of the public on our security agencies.

1. How did Nnamdi Daniel Emeh manage to have access to the numerous unregistered but functional SIM cards on various network services which he is using to communicate and evade arrest since there is an embargo on the use of unregistered SIM cards by the NCC?
2. Why was Nnamdi Daniel Emeh released by the Nigerian Police and allowed to continued access to police formations after he was arrested and detained for his involvement in the previous N20million heist?
3. Is the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters unaware that ordering SP Nkiru Princess Nwode And Patrick Agbazue to halt investigations and show up at Abuja to answer question over allegations cooked up by Nnamdi Daniel Emeh through his Gistlover platform has probably offered the suspect ample time to possibly flee the country considering the fact that the suspect has changed his loot into foreign currency (Dollars)
4. Why is the DSS silent over the alleged complicity of one of their men in the alleged criminal activities of Nnamdi Daniel Emeh?
5. Why is the NYSC silent on the alleged criminal activities of Nnamdi Daniel Emeh in the course of his service year?

Answering these few questions will definitely go a long way in addressing the rot in our system.

SURVIVING SUICIDAL THOUGHT WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
By Ebere Florence Nnanwube

If everyone agrees that the recent recurrent suicide rate among Nigerian youths has become a social concern, then we should also agree that a tenable solution to this menace lies in teaching undergraduate students the art of managing their emotions by cultivating emotional intelligence. It is on record that many youths, especially tertiary institution undergraduates, do not know how to handle critical life issues like relationship break ups, rejection by peers, exam failures, gang bullying, drug use and abuse, rape, amongst others.

Emotional intelligence, also called Emotional Quotient (EQ) concerns being able to understand, use and manage one’s emotions in positive ways in order to obtain positive outcomes such as relieving stress, communicating effectively, empathizing with other people, overcoming challenges and diffusing conflict. EQ plays out in four major attributes, namely: self-management, self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship management.

Self-management:This entails being able to control one’s impulsive feelings and behaviors, managing emotions in healthy ways, taking initiatives, keeping to commitments and adapting to changes.

Self-awareness: Here, one recognizes his/her emotions and how they impact on his/her thoughts and behavior. It equally involves recognizing one’s strengths, weaknesses and having self-confidence.

Social awareness: Involves having empathy by understanding or trying to understand the emotions, needs and concerns of other people, picking up emotional cues, feeling comfortable in a social space, and recognizing power relations in a group or organization.

Relationship management: EQ also enables one to develop the capacity to maintain good relationships, communicate effectively, be inspiring and influential to other people, engage in teamwork and manage conflict.

The importance of any individual, especially young people possessing these critical skills cannot be overemphasized. It is cardinal to excelling in one’s occupation and also transiting through life’s phases successfully. For instance, as a student, emotional intelligence can help you navigate the numerous social complexities of school life and still graduate successfully. More precisely, it is the EQ that boosts your self-confidence to study harder when you realize you didn’t do well enough the previous semester. The same confidence enables you to develop high-self esteem to navigate peer pressures that could lead to joining bad gangs, taking to drug abuse, prostitution rings and other vices common among students. This same EQ also helps you recognize your self-worth when you have been rejected by the one you love, though at first, this may not be easy, but emotional intelligence will enable you to channel your emotions into positive actions and decisions that can improve and enhance your personality. In the end, you come out a better person.

EQ also teaches you how to maintain your physical and mental health through stress management, by informing you in the first place that managing your emotions better entails not overstressing yourself. Hence, the ability to control your emotions and stress means managing anxiety and depression better.

One quick way of relieving one’s self of anxiety is by not dwelling on negative emotions for long. As soon as it comes,recognize it, wave it off and engage in positive actions that make you laugh, play and dwell on cheerful memories.

Failure to manage one’s mental health leaves the individual struggling to form healthy relationships, staying attached to family and consequently leading to isolation and loneliness.

EQ further helps you to manage your relationships better, understand your feelings and that of others. In the end, you are able to connect better with friends, family, loved ones, peers, colleagues, teachers, even strangers and yourenvironment. By boosting your social intelligence, EQ enables you to distinguish between friends and enemies, measure the interest other people have in you, reduce stress, balance your nervous system through social communication, feel loved and stay happy.

Emotional intelligence can be built. The how lies in cultivating and practicalizing the four basic skills listed already and further explained below:

Self-management: To build emotional intelligence, you must be willing to make constructive decisions about your behavior, think through actions and exhibitappropriate behavior. This can be achieved by staying emotionally present during stressful and upsetting moments and never letting issues override your self-control. This way, you make choices that allow you tocontrol impulsive feelings and behaviors, manage emotions in healthy ways, take initiatives, keep to commitments and adapt to changes.

Self-awareness: You must learn to distance yourself from your emotions, by cultivating the ability to have a moment-to-moment connection with your changing emotional experience. In order to better understand the influence of emotions on your thoughts and actions. You must pay attention to the presence or absence of the physical sensations in your stomach, throat, or chest, the feelings of anger, sadness, fear and joy, intense feelings that capture your attention and those of others; and importantly pay attention to these emotions.

In reversal, when a person fails to feel any of these mentioned emotions, he/she can be equated to having turned down or turned off his emotions (Pause a moment and think about what goes through the mind of a person who is about to commit suicide. Maybe none of these emotions at all is present in him/her any longer). Well, to rebuild the EQ and mental health, one can begin practicing the art of mindfulness, i.e purposefully focusing on the present moment non-judgmentally. It helps you shift yourpreoccupied thoughts to appreciating the moment, your physical and emotional sensations, thereby bringing a larger perspective on life. It also keeps you relaxed and focused.

Social awareness: Building emotional intelligence through social awareness can help us watch out for others, by being our brother’s keeper. Precisely, this skill awakens our recognition and interpretation of the things people around us are not saying but want us to hear or notice. It keeps us conscious of how others feel; the changing status of their emotions from moment to moment and the things they regard to be important. The art of mindfulness can also help an individual cultivate this skill, as being socially aware requires your being present in the momentary interaction. This way, you also pay attention to your own emotional changes, simultaneously gaining insight into your own emotional state, values and beliefs while paying attention to others.

Relationship management: To work well with other people, we must be emotionally aware and also be able to recognize and understand the experiences of others.

After all is said and done, Mark Manson outlines that emotions must be infused with values in order for it to be channeled towards positive use of emotional intelligence. This is where the parental roleof nurture comes into play. While teaching students or children ways to build emotional intelligence, they must also be taught simultaneously positive values such as self love, regard for family and loved ones, hopefulness, improvement, adventure, usefulness and many other regular values commonly shared by the society.

As the tertiary institutions pride in moulding students both in character and learning, the recent rate of vices emanating from the higher institutions leaves one indoubt. Devastating of all remains the recent high incidence of suicide among young Nigerian students. It heralds the failure in meeting up to the expectation of building both intellectually and emotionally sound citizens. This essay is intended to be a wake-up call on the need for the National University Commission (NUC) to inculcate Emotional Intelligence as a mandatory course (General Studies) in 200 or 300 level. It is recommended at this level due to the assumption that the students would better appreciate this topic when it would make the most sense to them, after some exposure to life in the higher instance

This went down on Instagram today, This dude who happens to be the holy spirit filled head pastor of the Dubai branch of Grace Assembly church did the unthinkable when he went on Instagram to flirt thinking that nobody would recognize him.


The randy man of God commented on the first pics declaring his interest in grabbing and squeezing the lady's breasts not thinking about who he is, His philandering was not so clandestine after-all because people decoded and before he could privatize his account i have gotten all i needed.

There is a book currently trending online ‘How A Baby Is Made’ – written by Danish writer, teacher and psychotherapist Per Holm Knudsen.


The book contains some rather graphic pictures, which are basically bright cartoons suitable for kids 2 years and above.


For such a sexually explicit and illustrative book, you would assume the book was written this year or a few years ago – in this new age when nudity has become the norm.


But shockingly, the book was actually published in 1975!


Baring in mind that children were allowed to read this book as far back as 1975 – would you allow your kids have access to this book let alone read it in 2015?


Check it out below and figure out if this is how you want your kids to learn about reproduction
