Romance / Re: The ABC Of Friendship by paulworld(m): 9:40pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
Self-Appraisal - An Inspiring Story! A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in ten-digits (phone numbers). The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation: Boy: ‘Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): ‘I already have someone to cut my lawn.’ Boy: ‘Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.’ Woman: I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn. Boy: (with more perseverance): ‘I’ll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida.’ Woman: No, thank you. With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy. Store Owner: ‘Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.’ Boy: ‘No thanks’. Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one. Boy: No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to!' This is what we call ‘Self Appraisal’ ... |

Romance / Difference Between Someone You love, And Someone You Like by paulworld(m): 9:15pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster But in front of the person you like , you get happy. In front of the person you love, winter seems like spring But in front of the person you like, winter is just a beautiful winter. If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile. In front of the person you love, you can' t say everything on your mind But in front of the person you like, you can. In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy But in front of the person you like, you can show your ownself. Then person you love comes into your mind every 2 minutes. You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like. When the one you love is crying, you cry with them But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting. The feeling of love starts from the eye And the feeling of like starts from the ear. So if you stop liking a person you used to like All you need to do is cover your ears, But if you try to close your eyes Love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your 2 Likes |

Romance / 3 Simple Ways To Strengthen Your Friendships by paulworld(m): 6:35pm On Sep 18, 2015 |
Whether you've got two friends or 20, you probably care about nurturing your friendships . After all, friends bring more laughter and joy to our lives and provide emotional support during tough times. But sometimes other stuff gets in the way. We have crazy deadlines at work. If we have partners or kids, they might demand most of our free time. And occasionally, we might forget a birthday or realize it's been months since our last catch-up. You're not a bad friend, but perhaps you want to be an even better friend . And for good reason: Scientists have found that what separates the happiest 10% of the population from everyone else is the strength of their social bonds. Harvard psychologist George Vaillant once said that if you can think of someone you would feel comfortable calling at 4 a.m. to talk about your troubles, you have a good chance of living longer than someone who's unable to do so. It's true: People with strong social support are happier, live longer, and even catch fewer colds. So, what can you do to strengthen your friendships? 1. WALK IN THEIR SHOES It's easy to get impatient with Judy, who's always running "just 10 minutes late" or Brian, the college buddy who always seems like he's trying to upstage you. But here's where empathy comes in: Take a few minutes to consider what it's really like to be your friend. What unique challenges might they face? Research shows that practicing perspective- taking builds empathy, which can improve our relationships and make us more compassionate and understanding—a quality every good friend should have. 2. SAVOR GOOD MEMORIES Even if you haven't seen a particular pal in awhile, sometimes all it takes to strengthen the bond is a reminder of past good times. Go through photos from a memorable event or vacation you enjoyed together—savor the details and point out memorable moments and funny details from the occasion. Scientists say that this type of shared savoring, called "capitalization," improves our well-being, and helps foster positive social interactions by bringing us closer. Even if you can't see your friend in person, you can still send them a "Remember when?" link to your photos from the event, pointing out the best moments from the day. 3. CELEBRATE THEIR GOOD NEWS Did Frank get a new job last month? Did Michelle have a new baby three months ago whom you still haven't seen in person? Sure, you sent a card or email to congratulate them, but you can do even more! Meet up with a friend who recently had good news that you haven't celebrated properly. When you see them, practice what scientists call "active constructive feedback" - show enthusiasm, ask them about all the little details, and get them to relive the moment with you. Research by Shelly Gable shows that when we respond to other people's good news positively, they feel more understood, validated and cared for, which enhances the quality of your relationship and makes you - both of you - happier. http://www.goodnet.org/articles/3-simple-ways-to-strengthen-your-friendships-happify |

Politics / APC Seeks Probe Of NLNG Payments Under Jonathan by paulworld(m): 11:31am On Jul 13, 2015 |
The All Progressives Congress has asked President
Muhammadu Buhari to probe the administration
of former President Goodluck Jonathan over $5.5bn
dividends said to have been paid to the Federal
Government by the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas
Limited.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of
the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Sunday,
urged the Buhari-led Federal Government to also
probe the taxes and dividends accruable to the
Jonathan administration through the NLNG in
the last six years.
The statement said, “We can tell Nigerians that
apart from the said $1.6bn NLNG payment for
2015, NLNG also paid $1.4bn as Income Tax/
Education Tax in May 2014, paid $0.3bn as
Education Tax to the FG in 2011, 2012 and 2013
and $1.2bn in VAT and Withholding Tax to the FG
since 2009. These payments are just those made in
the past six years alone, hence there were other
payments before then.
“In addition, dividend payments totaling
$4,728,136,946 was paid to the Federal
Government between 2004 and 2009, out of which
only $127,851,348.19 was credited to the Federal
Government’s Independent Account with JP
Morgan, leaving a balance of over $4bn. The
questions to ask, therefore, are why were all the
past taxes and dividends neither fully paid into
the Federation Account nor shared by the three
tiers of government and what happened to the
funds?”
The APC’s demand for probe was against the
backdrop of an allegation by the Peoples
Democratic Party that the $2.1bn approved by
Buhari to be shared among states of the federation
was from the Excess Crude Account.
The ruling party insisted that the $2.1bn was not
taken by the Presidency from the ECA and that it
was wrong and misleading of the opposition
party to make such an allegation.
“Whereas the Presidency corrected the initial
erroneous report that the shared money was
sourced from the Excess Crude Account, the skittish
opposition continued to insist it was from the ECA
and that it was part of the ‘savings’ by the
Jonathan administration,” the APC added.
The party, therefore, asked the Federal Government
to probe the immediate past government on where
it kept the $5.5bn which it said was the dividend
paid to the Federal Government by the NLNG
before the May 29 handover.
“We didn’t see the $5.5bn in the system. Let them
show Nigerians where it is,” the APC said.
It advised the opposition to desist from telling lies,
stressing that the Buhari government was
committed to clearing the rot by the past
government and ensure that all funds due to the
federation account were paid.
The statement added, “According to the PDP,
President Goodluck Jonathan asked that the
money be ‘left for the incoming administration to
manage’. It is important for the party, therefore,
to tell Nigerians in which account the money was
‘saved’ because it is definitely not in the Federation
Account.
“Had the PDP embraced these cardinal principles,
it would not have in the rush to belittle the
package that was approved for the states by
President Buhari and to discredit his
administration, engaged in outright lies and
selective perception.
“While the PDP became fixated on the source of the
money shared by the states, it forgot that there
were other measures in the package that included
a special intervention fund of between N250bn
and N300bn from the Central Bank of Nigeria as
a soft loan available to states to access for the
purpose of paying the backlog of salaries.
“The PDP also forgot the debt relief programme
designed to assist the states to restructure their
commercial loans of N660bn – with a view to
extending the lifespan of such loans and reducing
the states’ debt-servicing expenditures. That way,
the states are freed from their perennial inability
to pay workers’ salaries, and more funds are
available to the various governments to use for the
benefit of the people.”
“They have forgotten that the only time in the
country’s history that this kind of rescue package
was made was also during the tenure of
Muhammadu Buhari as military Head of State.”
The opposition party, in a statement by the PDP
National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh,
described as “misleading and outright falsehood”
the statement credited to the APC.
It said, “The truth is that the NLNG had been on
a 10-year tax haven until 2014. Within this
period, successive governments, right from President
Olusegun Obasanjo, never shared nor tampered
with the cumulative dividends.
“Whatever taxes paid from the NLNG went
through the Federal Inland Revenue Services and
recorded as part of the income of the Federal
Government. It is imperative to note that by the
end of the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan,
NLNG dividends had risen to a cumulative $5.6bn
and not a single cent was ever taken from the
funds.” www.punchng.com/news/apc-seeks-probe-of-nlng-payments-under-jonathan/ |
Politics / PDP Engages IRI To X- Ray Ekweremadu C’ttee’s Report by paulworld(m): 11:11am On Jul 13, 2015 |
FORMER Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and chairman of the North-East and North-west team of the Senator. Ike Ekweremadu led post Election Review Committee, Alhaji Suiabu Oyedokun disclosed weekend that as part of moves to have a formidable party, the leadership of PDP has engaged the services of experts from the International Republican Institute,IRI to after the assignment, subject the findings and recommendations of the committee to clinical analysis. According to Oyedokun, it became imperative for PDP to engage these experts to ensure neutrality of individual members of the committee and the leadership of the party, just as he said that all aggrieved members of the party were regrouping to come back under one umbrella and rebuild the party. Oyedokun who disclosed this after a meeting with representatives of the party from the North-west Zone, assured all members of the party that the committee would not be partisan but would come out with viable recommendations that would make the party regained its lost glory by waxing stronger and return to power come 2019. He said that the PDP was desirous to regain its lost glory against the backdrop that stakeholders, leaders, elders and members of the party have carried out a postmortem on last presidential and general elections and have realised mistakes, adding that the leadership after the poor performance of the party in the last general elections had to put in place the post election review committee to examine the factors which were responsible for its woeful performance after being in power for the last sixteen years and having done so much in transforming the country to an enviable position in the committee of nations. Senator Ike Ekweremadu led post Election Review Committee of the Party was set up by the National Working Committee, NWC to look at among others, factors that were responsible for the party’s poor performance in the last general According to Oyedokun, “this is an innovation in our party and in the country in general, that is why most of us who are also founding fathers of the party decided to partake in the assignment despite the factthat we are in the fasting period because we don’t normally fix political activities for this period because it is a rigorous exercise,we have to sacrifice a lot in the interest of the party and our great nation. “The Committee then decided to send various teams to the six geo political zones to receive representations fomr the members and here we are our committee was posted to the North East and the North West, We thank God that in course of our moving round we have been able to discover among other things that anger, misunderstanding and internal ranging among others which I will not mention here responsible for our failure as a party at the polls”. “It is interesting to note that we have been able to receive representations from various groups and individuals, the representations were not only thoroughly debated but they were all adopted, we have been able to appeal to all aggrieved individuals and groups and the responses are very favourably, they are all interested in returning to under one umbrella once again ahead of 2019 general elections.” Speaking in the same vein, former Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro who is also a member of the committee and Senator Ibrahim Kazaure, the North- west zonal Vice Chairman of the party expressed optimism that with the current efforts being made by the leadership of the party, PDP would sooner than later regain its lost glory. Comrade Abba Moro appealed to all party members to put all that happened during the last general elections behind them and forge ahead in the over all insterest of the party having learnt its lesson in a hard way. On his own Senator Kazaure declared that the party was still on ground in all the nooks and crannies of the country and that concerted efforts should be made to reunite ahead of 2019 general elections. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/pdp-engages-iri-to-x-ray-report-of-ekweremadus-ctee/ |
Politics / ICPC To Arraign Aminu, Leader Of Goodluck Support Group For Extortion by paulworld(m): 11:02am On Jul 13, 2015 |
Justice Ishaq Bello of the Federal Capital Territory High Court has granted leave to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to arraign for trial Aminu Abubakar, Chairman, Goodluck Support Group and Okechukwu Geoffrey for extortion and blackmail. The accused persons who were earlier granted bail in the sum of N15million and two sureties in like sum, were alleged to have been in possession of some documents relating to some officials of the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, with the intent to implicate them by publishing and threatening them, if they do not part with the sum of N50million. At the last adjourned hearing on an application filed by the counsel to the accused persons, contesting the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit, the trial judge in his ruling averred that through out the submission of the defense counsel, there was no basis for the charges to be quashed as the prosecution diligently linked them to the offenses committed. ICPC prosecuting counsel George Lawal in his submission argued that, for the application seeking to quash charges to be considered, the suspects must have been linked with the alleged offences. “The charge clearly shows where the first accussed had a meeting with the officials of the petroleum ministry, where he demanded for the sum of N50million and even went ahead with threats, and even went into a meeting where he collected the sum of N5million, even writing an undertaking”, therefore, the issue of quashing the charge was not acceptable. Having listened to the various submissions, Justice Bello adjourned the matter to October 21, 2015 for trial. The accused persons are to appear before the court on a 3 count charge under the penal code, for extortion and conspiracy to extort on the next adjourned date. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/icpc-to-arraign-aminu-leader-of-goodluck-support-group-for-extortion/ 1 Like |
