Religion / US ELECTION: Donald Trump Wins As Predicted By Apostle Omotosho by Hunter2009: 10:17pm On Nov 06 |
US ELECTION: Donald Trump Wins As Predicted By Apostle Omotosho Donald Trump won Pennsylvania early Wednesday, putting him just four electoral votes shy of defeating Kamala Harris to win the White House. A win in Alaska or any of the outstanding battleground states — Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona or Nevada — would send the Republican former president back to the Oval Office. Interestingly, the presidential election is a fulfilment of the prophetic release of Apostle Omotosho Tope Joseph. On August 10th, 2024, he released a prophecy that Donald Trump would win the election and he sees congratulations on his path. And as predicted, the election results trickling in is in favour of a landslide victory for Donal Trump. Pennsylvania, a part of the once-reliable Democratic stronghold known as the “blue wall” with Michigan and Wisconsin, was carried by Trump when he first won the White House in 2016 and then flipped back to Democrats in 2020. Trump also flipped Georgia, which had voted for Democrats four years ago, and retained the closely contested state of North Carolina. Trump’s gains sharply curtailed Harris’ path to victory. The crowd at Harris’ watch party at her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, began to file out after midnight after a top Harris ally sent supporters home, with no plans for the Democratic vice president to speak. |
Celebrities / Prudent Ludidi Speaking About Betrayal "When People You Trust Turn Their Backs O by Hunter2009: 10:08pm On Nov 06 |
Prudent Ludidi speaking about Betrayal "When People You Trust Turn Their Backs on You" Ladies and gentlemen, Today, I want to talk about a painful experience that many of us have faced at some point in our lives. An experience that can shake our very foundation, making us question everything we thought we knew about ourselves and those around us. I'm talking about the betrayal of trust. The pain of being let down by those we trust. We've all been there. We've all trusted someone with our hearts, our secrets, our dreams. We've confided in them, shared our deepest fears and desires, and believed they had our best interests at heart. But then, suddenly, they turn their backs on us. They abandon us, reject us, or worse, hurt us intentionally. The pain of betrayal is like no other. It's a pain that cuts deep, leaving scars that can take years to heal. It's a pain that makes us question our judgment, our worth, and our identity. We wonder how we could have been so blind, so foolish, so trusting. We replay conversations, events, and memories in our minds, trying to make sense of it all. But here's the truth: their betrayal does not define you. Their rejection does not determine your worth. You are more than the opinions of others. You are more than the actions of those who hurt you. You are strong, resilient, and capable of healing and rising above. When people you trust turn their backs on you, it's natural to feel lost and alone. You may feel like you're drowning in a sea of despair, unable to find a lifeline. But don't let their betrayal consume you. Don't let it destroy you. Instead, use it as fuel. Fuel to rediscover yourself, rebuild your strength, and find new paths. Betrayal is not the end; it's a new beginning. A chance to start anew, learn from the experience, grow from the pain, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. Remember that you are not alone. You are part of a community, a community of survivors and thrivers who have been where you are and have come out stronger. So, don't lose faith. Don't lose hope. Keep moving forward, keep pushing forward, and know that you will rise above. You will heal, and you will thrive. In closing, I want to leave you with a message of hope and resilience. When people you trust turn their backs on you, stand tall and declare: I will not be defined by betrayal. I will not be broken by rejection. I will rise above. I will heal. And I will thrive. Thank you.

Religion / US Election: Donald Trump’s Victory, A Confirmation Of Prophet Samuel Akinboduns by Hunter2009: 6:12pm On Nov 06 |
US Election: Donald Trump’s Victory, A Confirmation Of Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse's Prophecy Former president Donald Trump has defeated Kamala Harris as voters sent Republicans back to White House for a second term. Interestingly, his emergence as victor in the keenly presidential election was foretold by Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse, the General Overseer of Freedom For All Nations Outreach based in Pretoria, South Africa. The clergy with an unusual prophetic mantle released the prophecy during one of the live services at his ministry's headquarters. He said God revealed to him that Donald Trump would win the election and that it's not yet time for a woman to rule the United States of America. Prophet Akinbodunse who is known as an accurate mouthpiece of God revealed from the onset that Trump would win the election even when the odds were against him. This prophecy confirmation is a pointer that when God speaks the wise listens, and God always reveals his intentions to his true servants. Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States in a stunning political resurrection that sent shockwaves through America and around the world. Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House. At 78 he is also the oldest person ever elected to the office. The result will sound alarm bells in foreign capitals given Trump’s chaotic leadership style and overtures to authoritarians such as Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-un of North Korea. He was branded a threat to democracy and even a fascist by his opponent, Vice-President Kamala Harris, and some of his own former White House officials. Yet the American electorate proved willing to push such concerns aside and hand the nuclear codes to the property developer turned reality TV star for a second time. Trump defeated Harris, a Democrat who had been seeking to make history herself as the first woman, first Black woman and first south Asian American to become president in the US’s 248-year history. As votes were counted overnight, Trump took North Carolina surprisingly early, the first battleground state to be called, and later he won Georgia and Pennsylvania. 1 Share

Romance / The Power Of Building Resilience" By Prudent Ludidi by Hunter2009: 8:28am On Nov 05 |
"The Power of Building Resilience" By Prudent Ludidi Ladies and gentlemen, Life is unpredictable. It's full of twists and turns. Some days are easy others are hard. But no matter what life throws at you, you have a choice, you can let challenges break you, or you can build resilience. Resilience is the strength to withstand, to bounce back, to adapt, to overcome, it's the power to face adversity head-on, to transform obstacles into opportunities, to turn setbacks into stepping stones! Building resilience is not about being invincible. It's about being human, it's about acknowledging your vulnerabilities and working on them. Resilience is built in both small and big moments of the everyday choices we make! To get up when you're tired, keep going when you're struggling, to push through when you're doubting. It's built in the habits you form. It's important to understand that resilience is not just about surviving, it's about thriving, growing, becoming stronger, more confident and more compassionate. When you build resilience, you open yourself up to possibilities, you take risks, you innovate, you create and inspire. So, how do you build resilience? You start small. You take care of yourself. You practice self-compassion. You seek support. You focus on the present. And you keep moving forward. One step at a time. Resilience is not a destination it's a journey! Because when you build resilience, you unlock your true potential to withstand unplanned inconveniences in your life. You become unstoppable. You achieve greatness. You inspire others. And you create a ripple effect of resilience that touches everyone around you. Remember, resilience is not something you have or you don't. It's something you build, day by day, moment by moment, choice by choice. So, choose to build resilience, face your fears, push through challenges, choose to rise above obstacles, choose to become the best version of yourself! You're capable of thrive and succeed! 1 Share

Celebrities / General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why by Hunter2009: 4:22pm On Nov 04 |
General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why Former Chief of Army Staff and erstwhile envoy of Nigeria to the Republic of Benin, Lt. General TY Buratai Rtd (CFR) has lent his voice to the lingering issues between Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers in Nigeria. The decorated General urged Dangote, not to succumb to the marketers blackmail. In an exclusive chat with some journalists on his opinion over the imbroglio between the two gladiators, he raised a fundamental question as regards who is blackmailing Dangote? According to Buratai, Dangote refinery can not operate outside the global oil system. Just because it refines locally and gets its crude in Naira is not a reason to sell it cheaper. He stated that the government must susidise because it is making a profit. However, the question of subsidy is very sensitive now. But when subsidy is reintroduced, it should be only for locally refined products. At the same time, our borders must be closed for all smugglers, especially in petroleum products. “Our borders are porous, and high-level smuggling is witnessed in every sphere. Dangote must find markets elsewhere to be able to maintain its operations. It is good news that Ghana and other African countries are approaching Dangote to buy his products. “If Dangote refinery sells its product cheaper, be rest assured the products will be massively smuggled. The petroleum marketers are not sincere. They want cheap Dangote products to be able to smuggle them outside our shores. In this case, both Nigerians and Dangote will be the losers.” Continuing, Buratai believed that “Unless all our borders are properly manned and all the smuggling routes are blocked, then the government subsidy will work for our benefits” “Dangote should not succumb to the marketers' blackmail”, he concluded. It would be recalled that the row between Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers in Nigeria has taken a new dimension following the comment by the President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote that petroleum marketers were not approaching his refinery for purchase of petroleum products. There has been an uneasy calm since the roll-out of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from the Dangote Refinery in September. Their were discordant tunes between the management and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other petroleum marketers. Dangote refinery has disclosed the price of its petrol, revealing that it sells petrol at N960 per litre for ships and maintains a price of N990 per litre for trucks. The statement follows claims from the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) that they can import fuel at cheaper rates than Dangote's. In an earlier interview, the marketers alleged they were buying fuel more affordably from abroad and called on Dangote Refinery to collaborate with stakeholders. In response, the refinery argued that only substandard products could be obtained at prices lower than its own. 1 Share

Celebrities / NASSCO Boss Highlights Nigeria’s Policy Framework On Care Economy At UN Women Wo by Hunter2009: 1:49pm On Oct 31 |
NASSCO Boss Highlights Nigeria’s Policy Framework on Care Economy at UN Women Workshop The National Programme Coordinator of the National Social Safety-Net Coordinating Office (NASSCO), Dr. Funmi Olotu delivered a compelling presentation at the UN Women Care Economy Workshop held in Abuja, yesterday. Her powerful presentation, which was delivered by her Special Assistant, Ms. Tolu Ebun centered on Nigeria’s policy framework and government-led initiatives supporting the recognition, redistribution, and reduction of unpaid care work as a vital pathway to gender equality and economic empowerment. In her address, Ms. Ebun, who represented the NASSCO National Coordinator at the forum, emphasized the Nigerian government’s commitment to acknowledging the value of unpaid care work, often shouldered disproportionately by women, as essential for building a more inclusive economy. According to her submission, the policy framework she outlined focuses on recognising and elevating the importance of unpaid care work, creating awareness around its economic value, and ensuring it is integrated into national policies and discourse. She also opined that promoting a fairer division of unpaid care responsibilities among all segments of society, including families, communities, and public institutions, to balance workloads and support gender equality will be the best decision whilst implementing initiatives that lessen the burden of unpaid care work through infrastructure improvements, accessible social services, and support systems. Ms. Ebun expressed gratitude for the leadership and guidance of Dr. Funmi Olotu, under whose vision and direction NASSCO continues to develop transformative programs for social protection. She remarked, "Through these efforts, we hope to create an environment where both women and men can fully participate in the workforce, leading to greater economic productivity and a more balanced society." The workshop facilitated inspiring discussions among policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders on actionable steps to bolster the care economy in Nigeria. Ms. Ebun’s insights highlighted the nation’s dedication to advancing gender equality, setting a standard for collaborative efforts that empower women economically and support sustainable social development. 1 Share

Romance / Those Who Wronged You May Never Say "I'm Sorry" - Prudent Ludidi by Hunter2009: 6:57am On Oct 31 |
Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi Ladies and gentlemen, Today, I want to talk about something that can be difficult to accept, those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry." We've all been hurt by someone at some point in our lives. And often, we hold onto that hurt, and hope in waiting for the person who wronged us to acknowledge their mistake and apologize. But the truth is, that apology may never come. It's hard to accept because we feel like we deserve closure. We deserve to hear that the person who hurt us regrets their actions. But closure is not something someone else gives you. Closure is something you give yourself. You have the power to choose: Choose to heal, even if they never acknowledge their wrongdoing Choose to move forward, even if they never make amends Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting what happened. Forgiveness means releasing the hold that person has on you. Forgiveness means taking back control of your life. You don't need someone else's apology to move on. You don't need someone else's validation to heal. You are strong enough to do it on your own. And when you do, you'll find peace. You'll find freedom. Remember, holding onto anger and resentment only hurts you. It doesn't change the past. But forgiveness can change your future. So, don't wait for someone else to say "I'm sorry." Say it to yourself: "I'm sorry that happened to me, but I'm moving forward." Say it loud and clear: "I deserve to heal. I deserve to be happy." Take back your power. Take back your life. Move forward with courage and faith. You got this. 1 Share

Celebrities / You Are Not Your Mistakes" - Prudent Ludidi by Hunter2009: 7:26am On Oct 29 |
"You Are Not Your Mistakes" - Prudent Ludidi A mistake is defined as an act or judgement that is misguided or wrong. We've all made these acts of judgements throughout our lives and as long as we are human , we will continue to make them. But here's the truth, we are not our mistakes. You are more than that one wrong decision, that one failed relationship, or that one missed opportunity. You are more than your flaws, your weaknesses, and your regrets. Mistakes are events, not identities. They do not define you. They do not dictate your worth. And they do not determine your future. You are a unique, talented, and worthy individual, capable of growth, learning, and change. You have strengths, skills, and experiences that make you who you are. But when we identify with our mistakes, we lose sight of our true selves. We become trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, self-blame, and shame. So, how can we break free? Separate your self-worth from your mistakes Practice self-compassion and self-forgiveness Focus on your strengths and accomplishments Learn from your mistakes and move forward Surround yourself with supportive people Remember, every success story began with failure. Every hero had flaws. And every triumph required perseverance. You are not your mistakes. You are a resilient, capable, and powerful individual. Don't let mistakes define you. Define yourself. You are: Stronger than your struggles Wiser than your weaknesses Braver than your fears More than your mistakes Believe it. Embody it. Live it. 1 Like 1 Share

Politics / The Transformative Leadership Of General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, CFR: A Case Study by Hunter2009: 9:10pm On Oct 20 |
The Transformative Leadership of General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, CFR: A Case Study for Military Leaders in Africa MS Abubakar, PhD,CAS,FICRPC 1. Introduction to General Tukur Yusufu Buratai and the Context of Military Leadership in Africa This case study presents a comprehensive analysis of the transformative leadership of General Tukur Yusufu Buratai,CFR, a highly respected military leader with a distinguished background in peacekeeping and conflict resolution who has devoted his entire professional life to the noble cause of public service. General Tukur Yusufu Buratai’s remarkable life experiences and extensive knowledge stand as a powerful testament to what an effective, ethical, and visionary leader can achieve in the face of adversity and challenges. He embodies the demographic, personal, and intellectual qualities that African nations, as well as other developing countries, are actively seeking in their military leaders to guide them toward stability and progress. Furthermore, this study delves into an exploration of the broader context within which generals operate, shedding light on the complex and often difficult decisions and actions they must undertake on a regular basis in their leadership roles. The findings and insights contained within this study are intended to serve as a valuable resource for both military academics and practitioners engaged in the critical field of leadership development. Africa, in particular, stands out as perhaps the most significant region where military leaders occupy a prominent and influential place in the socio-political and economic management of their nations, especially in the midst of ongoing conflicts and wars. This prominence can be attributed to the unique historical background of the states and their peoples, which shapes the dynamics of military leadership and its impact on national stability and growth. 2. Key Principles and Strategies of Transformative Leadership Demonstrated by General Tukur Yusufu The experiences of General Tukur Yusufu Buratai provide an interesting case study in what makes some military leaders examples of transformative leaders. The strategies and principles that led him to be considered a transformative leader are: 1. Promoting adaptability and being open to new innovative concepts and strategies. 2. Making participation more inclusive. 3. Visualizing the strategic endpoint or vision and using that to inspire change in the organization. 4. Using collaboration and building trust to support the operational needs of the army. 5. Recognizing that not all change to the army was intended. He focused a significant amount of his change effort on bolstering the good organization of his peers in order to help the army build resilience in the face of the inevitable transformation, firing, and elimination. Army transformation for Buratai was about people and operations – learning, creativity, openness, and change were the underlying principles linking the campaigns he sought. This further examines the principles and strategies of General Buratai’s force shaping campaign in Chad and Nigeria and the organizational culture initiatives. At each step, case studies and detailed operational narratives will be used to illustrate the application of Buratai’s military leadership principles and the military techniques that he developed as part of his efforts. In doing so, I hope to provide a contribution to the understanding of military officers and security sector reformers working in Africa today by not only describing Tukur Yusufu Buratai, but also critically examining who he was with and why this matters. 3. Impact and Legacy of General Tukur Yusufu's Leadership on the Military and Society in Africa The influence and impact of General Tukur Yusufu Buratai's leadership transcended the military structures that he transformed during his tenure as the Chief of Army Staff. Through vision, strategic direction, creativity, perception, and above all, personal commitment, General Buratai refashioned the conduct of African military institutions. He transformed command cultures, doctrine, and operational strategies for increased military capabilities and responsiveness. Moreover, his style and instincts bestowed a lasting legacy upon the societies across Africa. He invested in the persons behind the uniforms. It is in these societal changes that this narrative locates some of the unique leadership tenets that each of Buratai's activities relates to. A detailed approach to his initiatives will demonstrate how and why African soldiers consider Tukur Yusufu Buratai the foremost military leader in Africa and value his ideas and decade-long experimentation in military leadership. General Tukur Yusufu Buratai undertook performance demonstrations despite the skepticism and opposition surrounding the initiatives. His dedication reflected a desire to enhance community engagement and fulfill social responsibilities, effectively linking military operations and their potential risks to civilian lives and livelihoods. The subsequent sections will detail and analyze the reforms he independently implemented within military structures and practices aimed at societal peace during his tenure as the second senior officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces. This narrative will adopt a pragmatic lens to evaluate the sincerity of his leadership commitment. The impact of Tukur Yusufu Buratai's leadership is evident within the Nigerian Army and throughout Africa (Chad,Cameroon,The Gambia, Sudan,Angola, Rwanda, South Africa etc). Through both minor interventions and significant military strategies and policy reforms enacted during his service, he exhibited profound insight and capability in ethical leadership alongside a relentless pursuit of reform. His innovative approach and investment in human talent transformed social dynamics as the professional military spearheaded operations across Africa. Socio- political discourse highlighted Buratai's dedication and accountability, earning him widespread recognition. His leadership period in the Nigerian Army popularized the notion of linking military achievement with societal transformation. He redefined command in an unprecedented manner and scale, remaining resolute in aligning army policies and operations with both national and international developments. This unwavering commitment underscores the ongoing relevance of his teachings and discussions in shaping strategies for conflict prevention and resolution within the African sub-region. His concepts have become integral to the strategic framework of Nigeria and Africa, contributing to regional stability and facilitating international partnerships for military observer missions worldwide. 4. Comparative Analysis with Other Prominent Military Leaders in Africa The General Tukur Yusufu Buratai leadership style also exemplifies the concentrated nature of a military leader. Societies with diverse contextual underpinnings in Africa have been subjugated by leaders who transformed their militaries for good governance. It is also crucial at this juncture to acknowledge prominent military leaders who took over power through a coup d'état in Nigeria. These leaders have also exhibited a leadership stance characterized by coercive methods, failing to institute democratic governance in the military. These lessons raise some fundamental points about the complete development that Tukur Yusufu Buratai brought about in Nigeria. The cases involving leaders portray military leaders who attempted to transform their militaries in order to influence developmental governance through democracy and human security in their societies. One leader developed a well-recognized gender policy after a revolution in government, achieving significant gains in human capital development in his country. Another recognized the wealth of his society and also disdained disparities. In the cases of Tukur Yusufu Buratai and other African military leaders, we see military leaders consolidating power through repression, leading to an acceleration of state and military system collapse in society. In the above illustrations, the military leaders' political, social, and cultural positions shaped the society’s politico-military responses to their actions, even as the rupture of systems and the energy produced were chronicled by the history of the era discussed. The comparative treatment of our investigation of these phenomena signifies an important bracket of thoughts in our subsequent analysis, policy implications, and conclusion. 5. Recommendations and Lessons for Current and Future Military Leaders in Africa From the leadership research evidence, it is clear that General Tukur Yusufu Buratai has used various successful adaptive and transformational leadership practices during his career. Whether or not he was employing a contingency approach is unclear, but there is no doubt that he was an effective peacekeeper and achieved an impressively low conflict rate. To this end, there are several recommendations, insights, and lessons for current and future military and security forces in Africa. Fulfilling a nation’s pledge, army leaders around the world, such as General Buratai, must enhance the military-civilian contribution through participative learning, leadership cultures, and practices in order to achieve the course goals and outcomes. Based on the discussion of the leadership lessons of former Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai,CFR, the following are some actions useful for leaders in this modern day. 1. One of the most important factors in peace operations is ethical leadership, predisposing leaders and followers to higher levels of cooperation and positive outcomes. 2. Smart collaboration network skills, personal connection to a broader community, and the earlier involvement of key community members, including putting an emphasis on the connections to legitimacy, status, and recognition. 3. The choice of methods is rapidly innovating practices, and instead of relying on recipes or strict methods, organizations and groups of professionals and staff are encouraged to focus on professional development using the best evidence available. 4. The accumulated evidence is that the world is overwhelmed with talk of increasingly wicked problems. Periods of extreme, rapid technological and social change demand cultures of ongoing learning, innovation, and resilience. Highlighting the need for continued professional development and claiming this is in response to the seventh age of the West and global insecurities uncovers the capacity of defense practitioners. Strategic communication is a core capability and skill to manage perceptions, conversations, improve understanding, and contribute to the strategic ends for groups, organizations, and governments that want to facilitate deeper regional forms of ethical engagement and strategic conversation. In this regard, many armchair critics have not managed military organizations, nor developed doctrine, strategies, or tactics. Clearly, it is an organization that is ready to innovate and improve communication policies and structures, engage with communities, and socialize law-abiding values, necessary to make relevant the significant strategic effects for community security. These will be in the interest of the people, and they are ideals for any organization. In summary, Tukur Yusufu Buratai consistently demonstrated a deep interest in engaging with individuals, primarily through active listening, and subsequently guiding them toward his vision and leadership objectives. General Buratai is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished Army chiefs to have emerged in Nigeria and Africa. His bravery, innovative approach, transformational leadership style, and effective command and control strategies will serve as enduring benchmarks. He has already become a reference point in numerous military institutions across Nigeria. His unique brand of transformational leadership offers valuable lessons and dimensions for both military and civic leaders. Consequently, the professional insights gained during the Tukur era, while inherently tacit, have also been adapted to align with the rapidly evolving socio-political landscape characterized by insecurity. What is currently needed for leaders in public and social organizations is a comprehensive understanding of how to strategically reposition their organizations to address these challenges. This constitutes the central theme of this text. MS Abubakar is affiliated with the Department of Military Studies at the Abuja Leadership Centre, University of Abuja.

Celebrities / Prudent Ludidi Shares Her Story Of Transforming Pain Into Purpose by Hunter2009: 8:41pm On Oct 20 |
Prudent Ludidi Shares her story of Transforming Pain into Purpose Internationally acclaimed motivational speaker and public figure Prudent Ludidi, encouraged the congregation to stop wallowing in the abyss of past pain, but to rather turn that pain into purpose through transformation. She made this astounding revelation at the Freedom For All Nations Outreach when she shared her unique story of pain to gain. She revealed that she is an ordinary woman who has a story of transformation of pain into purpose. “There are two types of pain we are familiar with which are physical and mental pain. She revealed that pain is a highly uncomfortable experience which we don't wake up to look for or desire, but pain happens nonetheless” She said transformation is changing an undesirable status quo and pain is a necessity in the process. Untransformed pain becomes a huge waste, she asserted. She shared her personal story of a journey from pain, discomfort, rejection and confusion to transformation which had a great impact on the millions of followers who listened to her through FANO television. She was born and bred in a small town and was the last born of the family. She recounted the trauma of her late mother who was murdered by her husband ( who is her own father ) when she was just two and half years old. He stabbed her 15 wounds and three in the heart. She finally succumbed to her injuries. The cause of the fight was because a woman was involved. Her mother perished in the hands of someone she trusted at 36 years. Sadly, the same strange woman responsible for the fracas between her parents became her step mother after the demise of her mother. In fact, shortly after her mother's burial she had moved in as stepmom. According to her, her step mother really abused her and destroyed her so she thought. In her early childhood, her stepmom reminded her of how ugly she was and told her she would amount to nothing in life every opportunity she got. "She meticulously invested destruction into her life unprovoked, she chose to be on the other side of my book not on the good side of my book." Prudent said. “Sadly when I remind her of the sad incidents she subjected me to, she claims to have forgotten. Interestingly, that's what the perpetrator does they forget but the victim never forgets and I will not change my story because she forgot.' She said a lot of people suffer from untreated emotional pains that grow with them as cancer. That's why a lot of people are damaged because of pain. And it's destructive because many don't know how to respond to their past experiences. They don't know how to respond to the trauma that was presented to them. Many were molested but can't even discuss the pain and trauma openly. Pain locks you in a system of shame. It traps you in a Paragon of grief,sadness and isolation. It will put you in a corner and makes you feel responsible for everything you have ever experienced. Many have become a victim of their past. “I was not used to an environment of love because I grew up in the midst of an abusive father... “, she recounted. According to her, the way out is the transformation of pain into purpose. In the midst of her childhood trauma and pains, she is now an epitome of grace and testimony globally. That girl who was acclaimed to be ugly by her step mother is now a beauty queen with laurels. An accomplished woman who finishes her studies with flying colours on record time, despite the traumatic experience of emotional pain. “In the midst of those pains, there is God's intention there. In your troubled soul, there is God's inscription there. Sadly, many can't see it because they are moving their lives from the lens of pain. Many are paranoid thinking everyone around them is there to harm them. The key is breaking free from the shackles of your pain and trauma. You are not what they told you that you are. You are what God decides you are. I am what my father in heaven says I am. Untreated pain is a blocker of God's agenda for your life. Extract meanings from your pains. Have an understanding that God loves you and he permits you to go through it because there is a generation who depends on you to pull them up because of your painful experience. There is an entire army waiting for your testimony of transforming pain into purpose Break free from your self pity and stop looking for human validation. Don't allow the experience to go to waste. I am not in pain now but the pain to the devil right now.” Finally, she appreciated Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse for giving her the platform to be a blessing to millions through FANO TV. 1 Share

Religion / Transform Your Pain To Purpose Says Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse by Hunter2009: 4:27pm On Oct 20 |
Transform Your Pain To Purpose Says Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse Founder of Freedom For All Nations Outreach widely known as FANO TV, Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse has enjoined everyone across the globe to transform their pains to Purpose. He stated this during a live service at his ministry’s headquarters in South Africa with the theme, “Transforming your pain to purpose” Taking reference from the bible in James 1:3-4, he charged those walloping in pain to exercise patience and cling to God. He said they should not Live in pain but turn it into testimony. The key word is patience. “Endurance will perfect your life. Transformation is a change from pain to gain. The process is called transformation. If you fail to move out of your pain, you will remain stagnant. There is no one without pain. The foundation of the glory of all great men is built on pain. To every glory is a story to tell. We all call the name of Jesus today but the bearer of that name transitioned from pain at Gethsemane to glory of resurrection” Speaking further he said, “during the moment of pain, don't walk away from God. Because for you to experience true change from pain to gain, mess to message and error to testimony, it has to be God. No throne without a cross.’’ He revealed that pain in a man's life is the divine spice, or aroma that sweetens the future. He highlight three things to know about pain: It introduced genuine friends. You can't know who truly loves you when things are good. Secondly, pain produced two memories: those who caused the pain, and the one who brought you out of the pain. “Pain gives you genuine direction to discovering the hidden treasure and promises of God. It gives you direction to destiny discovery. It gives you relevance. Look beyond the pains because it introduced you to destiny helpers. At times pain contradicts your future expectations but with the understanding of its purpose you turn it to gain. Job said I will wait until my change comes. Pain introduced you to your destination. You can become the son or product of circumstances but it is your guidance to the land of purpose”. Furthermore, he affirmed the fact that when in pain, the way out is walking out of the cause. When in pain avoid condemnation because guilt is the enemy of self confidence. “Without tears, no life. Every faith that must be produced shall be tested. Trials preceded divine favour. Don't take offence when you are in pain. The perpetrators are the channels through which are shaped and connected to your destiny.’ “There is a reason behind those unpleasant situations. Remain in God. Results silence Insults. Success eradicates years of mess. Stop walloping in years and self pity. Rise up, strive to attain results and silence insults. Don't argue with mockers, let your result humble them. Only fools doubt proofs. Evidence swallows mockers” “If you fail, it's not your enemy's problem but your own problem. Pain is an indication that you have a glorious future. Discovery leads to recovery” 1 Share

Celebrities / Pro. Samuel Akinbodunse Reveal The Physical, Spiritual Steps To Experiencing Men by Hunter2009: 1:24pm On Oct 19 |
Pro. Samuel Akinbodunse Reveal the Physical, spiritual Steps to Experiencing Men's Financial Health Global prophet and founder of Freedom For All Nations Outreach, Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse has enjoined men to deal with financial issues both spiritually and physically. He made this remark during the Men's Conference 2024 at the ministry's headquaters in South Africa with the theme, Men's Financial health. Prophet Akinbodunse also dwelled on God's plan for mankind financially during the conference which is arguably both impactful and insightful. According to him, it's God's will for us to prosper with reference from Jer 29:11. He also revealed that to experience financial health, we need to deal with finance both spiritually and physically. "You can study finance in school and still be poor. However, there are principles involved. First, put your spiritual life together. Secondly, organize and prioritize your physical life. For you to prosper, learn to acknowledge and honour God with your substance." He stated further that by involving God, we avoid waste and prevent a lot of mess. The law of God is the remedy for escape. There is no way to operate or experience open doors without obeying God's law. He also cautioned against borrowing unless well established. Aside that, he kicked against borrowing money to pay debts. He advised that contentment is key to having financial health. Furthermore, he stated that unhealthy competition stifled men's financial health. He also warned against using resources to satisfy wants, rather learn to invest the resources. Drawing reference from the parable of the sowers, he said the essence of God's gift of financial blessings to men is to invest it and not to squander it. He also reiterated his earlier prophetic warning that people should save against a global calamity coming in 2030. Meanwhile, one of the speakers, Mr Yusuf Nsamba enlightened participants on understanding financial terms, analyzing financial statements, developing budgeting skills, manage cash flow effectively, plan for long term sustainability, enhance regulation skills and monitor finances to avoid pitfalls. He also admonished everyone to plan, budget and abstain from wasteful spendings. Another speaker, Pastor Tshepo Komape also highlighted spiritual aspect of finance and engaging the blood of Jesus to deal with spiritual factors militating against our financial breakthroughs. Finally, Pastor Emmanuel Adeniji during during his own remarks appreciated the men for the support and unity in putting up such a glorious event and also commended the women for backing with programme both morally and financially. The HOD of the men fellowship, Mr Pule Mohlamunyane also appreciated the set man of the ministry and his Delectable wife, Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse and prophetess Eunice Akinbodunse. He commended the speakers and the panelists for such an engaging enlightenment.

Celebrities / Chief Allen Ifechukwu Onyeama: A Pillar In Nigeria’s Aviation Industry, Undeserv by Hunter2009: 11:29am On Oct 16 |
Chief Allen Ifechukwu Onyeama: A Pillar in Nigeria’s Aviation Industry, Undeserving of Victimization Chief Allen Ifechukwu Onyeama, the Chairman of AirPeace, stands as one of Nigeria’s most accomplished and hardworking entrepreneurs. His airline, AirPeace, has not only redifined the aviation landscape but has also provided immense relief to millions of Nigerians. With relentless determination and a vision to democratize air travel, Onyeama has grown AirPeace into a dominant force, one that competes directly with global airlines. Yet, despite his monumental contributions to Nigeria's aviation sector, he is repeatedly subjected to scrutiny, victimization, and disparagement from foreign authorities and Western media. This ongoing attack on Onyeama is not just an attack on an individual but a blatant affront to the Nigerian aviation sector, and it calls for urgent action from all stakeholders. At a time when the cost of air travel was skyrocketing, seemingly without bounds, it was AirPeace that stepped in to stabilize the market. Nigerians had been at the mercy of astronomical airfares, as foreign carriers monopolized major routes. The ripple effect was devastating, limiting the capacity of the average citizen to fly and stifling the growth of the nation’s aviation industry. However, AirPeace, under the astute leadership of Chief Onyeama, disrupted this narrative. By offering competitive pricing and expanding its domestic, regional and international reach, AirPeace provided Nigerians with an affordable and reliable alternative. The significance of this cannot be overstated—AirPeace became a symbol of healthy competition, lifting the industry and curbing exploitative practices by foreign carriers. The success of AirPeace’s international routes, including the historic commencement of flights to London Gatwick, is a testament to its pivotal role in strengthening Nigeria's bilateral air service agreements (BASA). The landmark push by Nigeria's Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN, to secure favorable BASA routes would not have had the same impact without the involvement of AirPeace. The airline’s presence on international routes—especially with major destinations like London—challenged long-standing monopolies and helped reduce fares that had been skyrocketing. This development not only empowered the Nigerian consumer but also marked a significant victory for local airlines in a fiercely competitive global market. Onyeama’s AirPeace is paving the way for other Nigerian airlines to capitalize on more BASA routes, unlocking a new era of international connectivity and competition. His contribution has been nothing short of revolutionary, a fact that should be celebrated rather than subjected to unwarranted attacks. The repeated victimization of Chief Onyeama by U.S. authorities and the Western press appears increasingly orchestrated, raising suspicions that it is part of a larger agenda to destabilize Nigeria's aviation sector. It is no coincidence that as AirPeace rises and disrupts the status quo, Onyeama faces intensified scrutiny. This situation should raise alarms for all Nigerians, especially those within the aviation industry. This is not just Onyeama's fight—it is a fight for the survival and autonomy of Nigeria's aviation sector. At a time when the nation is striving to assert its place on the global stage, the attack on AirPeace, the closest entity Nigeria has to a national flag carrier, is an attack on the industry’s collective future. Let no one be mistaken—Chief Allen Onyeama's plight is a battle for the soul of Nigerian aviation, and the fallout will affect not just AirPeace but hundreds of its employees and the broader economy. If the authorities, regulators, and stakeholders within the aviation sector fail to rally around Onyeama now, it will be a monumental loss for the country. It is a moment that demands unity, not division. The future of Nigerian aviation depends on the survival of its biggest players, and Chief Onyeama, as the Vice President of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), embodies the aspirations and ambitions of countless Nigerians. His downfall would be a blow not only to AirPeace but to every stakeholder who believes in the growth and competitiveness of the Nigerian aviation sector. If I were a member of the AON, I would not sit idly while one of our most illustrious members faces such unfair persecution. The fact that Onyeama has built one of the largest employers in Nigeria’s aviation industry speaks volumes about his dedication, vision, and capability. Allowing him to fall victim to external forces is tantamount to delivering a slap to the entire aviation community. Defending Our Own: A Matter of National Pride We must ask ourselves: if we do not defend our own, who will? Chief Allen Onyeama’s contributions to Nigeria’s aviation industry should inspire pride, not condemnation. AirPeace is the pride of Nigeria’s aviation sector, representing our collective ambition to compete on the global stage. The airline is a symbol of our capacity to build and sustain world-class businesses that challenge global giants, providing critical services at home and abroad. This is the time for the Nigerian government, aviation regulators, and all industry stakeholders to stand together. We must reject any agenda—whether foreign or domestic—that seeks to tarnish the achievements of one of our finest entrepreneurs. The aviation roadmap for Nigeria, painstakingly dreamt by the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN and being charted by Chief Onyeama and others, must not be derailed by baseless accusations and targeted victimization. The Time for Action Is Now Chief Allen Onyeama and AirPeace represent the future of Nigeria's aviation industry. His plight is not just his own but a call to action for all Nigerians. The stakes have never been higher, and this is a turning point in the history of Nigerian aviation. If we do not act now, we risk allowing foreign interests to dismantle the progress we have worked so hard to achieve. The time to eschew bitterness and rally around our own is now. Let us not allow external forces to sow division, or as the saying goes, “smear our white clothes with blood.” We must come together in defense of Chief Onyeama and AirPeace. The survival of the Nigerian aviation industry depends on it. Chike Stanley, a concerned aviation investor writes from Abuja. 1 Share

Business / U.S. Court Orders Arrest Of Air Peace CFO, CEO Allen Onyema Faces New Fraud... by Hunter2009: 6:00pm On Oct 13 |
U.S. Court Orders Arrest of Air Peace CFO, CEO Allen Onyema Faces New Fraud Charges source: https://globalnewsinternational.com.ng/us-arrest-for-air-peace-ceo-onyema/ In a major development, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia has issued an arrest warrant for Ejiroghene Eghagha, the Chief of Finance and Administration at Air Peace, a leading Nigerian airline. The warrant, issued on October 8, comes amid allegations that Mrs. Eghagha fabricated a fraudulent agreement in an attempt to absolve Air Peace CEO, Allen Onyema, from a $20 million money-laundering and wire fraud case that has persisted since 2019. The court's order brands Mrs. Eghagha a fugitive and calls for her immediate arrest, signaling the escalation of legal actions in the case. The arrest warrant was issued in conjunction with a superseding indictment against Mr. Onyema, who now faces fresh charges related to conspiracy and obstruction of justice. The indictment accuses Mr. Onyema of attempting to manipulate U.S. legal proceedings to prevent the forfeiture of millions of dollars linked to the fraud. The charges stem from a 2017 transaction in which Mr. Onyema allegedly raised letters of credit through U.S. banks to purchase Boeing aircraft that Air Peace had already acquired. According to the indictment, this maneuver resembled money laundering, as Onyema used fraudulent documentation to justify the letters of credit, enabling him to funnel funds through his company, Springfield Aviation. Investigators allege that in 2019, Onyema conspired with Mrs. Eghagha to create a backdated contract—the "Aircraft Sales and Management Agreement"—between Springfield Aviation and Air Peace. This contract, which was fabricated to appear as if it had been executed in 2016, was intended to exonerate Onyema from accusations of financial misconduct. The fraudulent contract was later submitted to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in an attempt to halt ongoing forfeiture proceedings. The indictment further reveals email evidence in which Mrs. Eghagha instructed a Springfield employee, Ebony Mayfield, to sign the falsified contract without dating it. Mayfield complied and returned the signed document to Eghagha, who then passed it to Onyema's legal team. The U.S. Attorney's Office has since uncovered these communications, deeming them part of a conspiracy to obstruct justice. Onyema’s legal woes have intensified with the fresh charges, which reopen what was becoming a dormant case. His bank accounts in the U.S. and Canada remain frozen, with millions of dollars at stake. Despite operating an international airline, Mr. Onyema has been unable to travel to the U.S. due to the arrest warrant issued against him in 2019. The situation bears resemblance to high-profile cases involving internet fraudsters such as Hushpuppi and Woodberry, both of whom were arrested and extradited to the U.S. Onyema now faces similar risks should he travel to countries with strong ties to the U.S. This latest development marks a significant blow to Air Peace and its leadership, further complicating Onyema's efforts to clear his name in the U.S. legal system. The case continues to unfold, with both Onyema and Eghagha facing serious charges that could have wide-reaching implications for the airline and its operations. https://globalnewsinternational.com.ng/us-arrest-for-air-peace-ceo-onyema/

Pro Kingsley Eulogizies Mentor, Bishop Oyedepo @70 ....How he accurately Predicted Edo Election, death of popular Isla)i c act The founder of Oneness in Christ Ministry Worldwide, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo has eulogized his mentor Bishop David Oyedepo as he clocked 70. In his message, he described him as a father, patriarch of faith family and mentor who is a man like a nation. He also shared personal testimonies to attest to the impact of Bishop teachings on his life and ministry. "One man like a nation. I am grateful to God for his love over my life. He opened my eyes to see the teachings of the great patriarch of faith. Today which mark the 70th birthday of Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo, I cant thank God enough for spearing your life sir. I thank God that I am not reading about Bishop in books that I am alive to witness this great man of God . I pray that God will continue to keep you daddy and at the end God will help you to make heaven." "I will share two testimonies of the light I caught from my mentor . There is this random mentality among prophets and pastors that if they pray for anyone they are using their anointing many can be attack as a consequences. so with this mentality, you will hear many saying as they were praying some arrows enter into them. Thus, one day, I was watching my mentor during a laying of hands service. He prayed for some pastors and asked them to start laying hands on the sick and one of the pastor was laying hand twice and he screamed stop , once is enough, you are not the healer. You are not the owner of the virtue , you are just like microphone , I stood up and screamed eeee eeeh ehen so this is the secret. From that day, that consciousness that Jesus Christ is the one doing everything came alive in me . Second testimony is that he will always say I see my self at 100years preaching the gospel, there is a covenant heritage of long life, I will always think how? then one day he said Job 5 vs 26 , my eyes was opened . He will always say any faith you can speak boldly is a liar . I thank God for opening my eyes to see this great patriarch of faith , God bless you sir , Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo is a subject that must be studied if you want to discuss how to make it life" It would be recalled that Popular Nigerian Islamic singer, Rukayat Gawat Oyefeso has reportedly passed away. A cleric, Alfa Aribidesi At-Tawdeeh Islamic Da’awah disclosed the news of her demise on his Facebook account on Tuesday morning. This was a confirmation of the prophetic warnings of prophet Kingsley who said he saw her passage in a shock. A relative of the singer and the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on New Media to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Jubril Gawat also confirmed the passing of Rukayat in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday morning. Aside that, another of his prophetic warning about Edo election came to pass with the emergence of Monday Okpebholo as Winner of the gubernatorial election. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, the winner of the Edo state governorship election that took place on Saturday, September 21. This was part of Prophet Kingsley's prediction in June 2024 when he said the battle is between APC and PDP and that the labor party is not in the equations. He said Okpebholo will emerge winner .
