Let us be frank, to say the least, the starting point about any progress in this part of the world-is to be patriotic, I mean authentic patriotism. The reason why infrastructure always become a topic with every incoming Govt..as if Nigeria has just begin to exist. We are yet missing the basics.

Then, we must be dispose to regulate our institutions, if you like tailored every thing to our culture, like what Chine did, Singapore and others. Those who manufactured "Ogunigbe" during civil war, were patriots,not just for the fun of it, not even for money.

And enough of reading a book that says someone came from outside to discover River Niger, while all those who lived behind the river could not see that it was river Niger. We must face up to our history in other to make a headway. And must be prepared to learn from others as well..... May God bless Nigeria.

The source of power of hope is- Faith, Gratitude and Thanksgiving and Love of which the Mind is the manager, who refers to person’s understanding of things and his conscience. The bases for our hope and Faith are the character of God himself. The better we know him, the more we opt to trust him.

FAITH; - The Faith learns heavily on the certainty of the Divine, Justices and the Fear of God as it predict to reveal the secrete of the heart.

GRATITUDE AND THANKSGIVING;- This is an awareness not based so much on rationality and intellectual bent characterized by gift of speaking with assurance. Neither on the ability to stress concept in the recognition of God’s voice, but just in the simplicity of heart in its humble recognition of the work of God at every moment.

LOVE;-Just remembering the love in your life, and those you love as well as those who love you, among family and friends,is the power of hope

MANAGEMENT OF THE MIND; -The mind is often delighted to be manage by the power of hope, because, it is the ability of the mind to exercise, with persistence and determination. And the same is true, not without commitment to ensuring a great deal of focus. Because, it has to do with the degree of attention pay to any given situation that will enhance improvement in the recovering with the power of hope.

Diligence often becomes a part of the process, as it seek the assistance of commitment and perseverance in the very transformation of idea and vision into reality.

Commitment and perseverance becomes the too key element in the management of the mind through which attention to detail can be achieved of which the power of hope often ready to preside at any given situation.

I just think, that as a Nigerian, it is becoming so shameful that these bad behaviour is becoming so endemic and if it is true, that Edo girls are involved in this act, it simply means perents and schools, while not even, the church must get down to to the basics of how to raise children.

When we focus on Jesus and His eternal word we also must refuse to be anxious about anything and everything- according to phili, 4; 6. Although, we are in the world, we are not of the world, but from God’s kingdom and this we must not lose sight of in our daily reality.
In John, 16;33, Jesus did said that, “ In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Therefore, the problem of the world is not set against us, why; you might ask?, simply because when we face any trial and tribulation, we must do so with the mindset of a victor like Our Lord Jesus, with the advantage of which the word of God is. This is true, because the word of God has the ability to take us through any trial and tribulation unruffled as an over comer.

In the parable of the weed in Mathew13;24-30, Jesus did answer those who are scandalized when they see evil everywhere. He has this to say, that good and evil will be mixed till the end of time, just because they will always be found together. And the same is true that temptation will always be stronger than good intention, but we must strive as over comer to choose steadily what is good.
Although, God is patient, but the reconciliation of so many contradictory groups, forces, and cultural that are currently active in the world will be attained only at the end of time. But meanwhile, as an over comer, we only need to refrain to label anyone or institutions, with excessive overtone, the good ones and the bad ones.

But we must give ourselves completely to the word of God, as we becomes confident in the integrity of God’s word in Isiasah,43;2. The mindset in any trouble must be like that of David in psalm 23;1-2, when he affirm and Declare thus-“ The Lord is my shepherd ; I shall not want ; He makes me lie down in green pastures.

And like Paul in declaration,” I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me- phili4;13. And like John in Exclamation, ”Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world” in 1John4;4. But you must refuse to be conditioned by any circumstances as you Declare on daily bases “I will never be a failure, I will never broke and I am born to reign and rule in Life. Observed that this is all about vocalizing our Faith in the affirmation of our reality on the bases of the word of God in attending to His word in our life

Thanks to Bill Gate for given Nigeria Govt.. an insightful roadmap of the state of things. It is also true, that when the problem is so compounded, it is often near impossible to know where to start from, due partly to the fault of our political class elit who do not seems to view the situation as a problem. I view the current take as topdown which is not working that is rightly being observed , rather, it should be bottomop.

You great, an epitome of African beutiful lady.

The power of hope resides in the belief of the psychological victim and psychological survivor. And belief is by definition the state of mind in which an individual come to think that something has to be the case without any empirical evidence to show for it or to prove that it is actually the case. Taken hope as a figure, it then stands between man and the abyss as it becomes the very possibility and if you like an affirmative action of any individual, patient, or victim of any situation. The possibility that it could be better and can be recovered, no matter the devastation and of which is the power of hope.

It must be observed that the power of hope always lay dormant in the corner of our heart not in the brain, until it is beckon to awaken and act in the mix of overwhelming emotional disturb. It is also true that any overwhelming emotional disturb can always blocked the vision of sight of the very presence of the power of hope can be sighted. It is when we are not overwhelmed by emotional disturbs and takes a moment to sight the figure of hope. Then beckon it to act, of which in its response will always supply the belief to overcome any situation as it strength our perseverance to endure anything and everything. It does it when no one seems to care, no matter how terrible it might seem- and which is the power of hope.

The power of hope is simply the belief and the act of a moment to be in control of our emotional disturb , that it must get better, and of cause, that it could not just a wish, but based in an authentic faith of belief and of being in control of the situation. The knowledge and belief that the lost home and possession can be recovered. Of cause, that whatever the material possession may be, it can be recovered, with steadfast and determination even, if it means starting all over again.

With the power of hope, in any lost employment, with the help of family and friends support, a new employment could often be at the corner. Make no mistake, that often hope is always looking bleak until it is sighted, in any given situation, as it appear not to -existent. Yet it awaits your consent to be awakened for an intervention in any threatening ordeal situation for your very survival. Because at the surface, it always seems impossible, but as you take a moment to sight the power of hope, what looks impossible can become possible as a sigh of relief flow from the heart where it reside.

The country has come a long way in its sride to improve the life of the people and to democritized. There has to be tolerance of religion as well, for the sake of balancing the spiritual with that of material wellbeing of the people of a great country-China.

On a serious note, I just think the idea of what any session want should not be the main thing. Rather, in striving to creat a level playing filed conducive for every one, inrespective of any poltical affilliation. I think enough is enough of any sectonal overtone and think about what Nigeria has under gone in its political abuse and denigration overtime. Read the NIgeria history and see how much she need to wait to be fully accepted in the comity of nation with the dignity she deserved. There is an urgent need for a deconstructive politics here in Nigeria for those who care.

May your soul rest in perfect peace, and may God Almighty grant the family at large the fortitude and all what it takes to overcome the lost.

Happy birthday with the best wishes .

Really, some scrumps of belated empathy still has some usefulness with element of healing those much touch..

The inductive method of development is applicable in every sphere of life. Indeed, it is the bed rock of sciences,in particular in Biology, which as it were, is the study of particulars in its minute nature into the bigger picture of a developed concept into a general one.

It is also true, the method known in science as the Deductive method. But the very different stern from, in the first place,that - 1. Inductive method is the study from particulars to that of the universal or general. While 2. Deductive Method is the study from the Universal or general to particulars.

And in scientific studies, we are often being told that Deductive method becomes the mostly applied method for one reason or the other.
There are lots of scientist who may probably agree that, since these methods have yielded a great and most astonishing result in the field of development, it can as well be applied in other areas. And I think is fair to say they can be meticulously applied in every other area of our cultural, political and economic development.

To my modest estimation,I think the African or Nigeria in particular must beginning to ask why we are not developing in spite of all material and human resources that seems to be in our possession. I think the reason is clear, because we do things without any method of application involved .

And in that matter we are loosing sight of some of the basic method- like the inductive and deductive method that could also be applicable in our economic and other areas in terms of development.

A case in point is the creation of Local Govt.- to foster and accelerate the rural infrastructural development and If I may add, in the informal sectors of which our political elite do not take so seriously as they regard this area as secondary or not important. But with a kin and close observation of developed country, it becomes the area of experiment from the informal to the formal, -particulars area to general. Now Which method do we operate - non I think or vicious cycle development ? .

Your reaction pl.

Standing back to look at a problem objectively often seems less important most of the time. But taking an objective stance seems also to have a calming effect, as it help people to see or view things as they really are, and if you like, from a different perspective, neutral position.

This is what might be called the stand point of view of objective principle. In the first place it tends to help to remove emotion or decrease it as it allow one to think more rationally and reflect in the process. The other aim or use of objective principle is that it tends to provide a neutral position that allow one to have what might be called an equitable discussion to have its way.

It must be observe, that when we talk about being objective, it simply mean a bunch of things like, the avoidance of being too subjective in the control of emotional state over an issue of vital importance . It is also true, it means being unemotional and without getting too agitated as not to see things as they really are. And without being get carried away from a personal bias or mixed up sentimental point of view. It also comes to mean being neutral, and understanding both in the point of view of a third person position in question.

At the long run, an objective point of view comes out to be more realistic and fairer in terms of judgment. With the result of a display of agreeable resolution not without some level of human differences.[b][/b]. It will be observed in this perspective, that objectivity is opposite of subjectivity. Because a person with a subjective view often come to see things only from his own point of view, often not without a complete bias, with a dose of sentiment. And this view often come to invariable vary differently from everyone else subjective view.

Objectivity as a decrease of emotion, is when for instance, you get upset or angry, and as you relieve your past experiences, you come to see things through your own past with a review of the close experiences again. And you will notice at this point that as you re-experience the emotion and look down on the scene, the emotion tends to definitely dissipate into the air, as you experiences things differently.

The objective nature of human beings can be deduced, from the fact that man is a destructible being. And as such, his life, health and indeed his well-being are not automatic in its functionality. On the contrary, it is contingent upon the successful application and maintenance in consonance with his reality that necessitate the science of ethic.

In order to figure out what benefit the life and health of man as a being, is not a matter of whim or an arbitrary process, but the determination of the objective nature of reality of man. It is also true that ethical precepts, like the term of right and wrong, good and evil.etc, are not subjective non just a matter of opinion. But they are objective in nature as a matter of factual reality in human nature.

Ethical principles and objective values, is rooted in the realm of science and not in subjective opinion, as some people would have everyone to assume. And objective value, just like in every individual, varies from one environment to the other, and in particular, at the level of concrete values. And there are hierarchies of values in diverse circumstances we often have to contend.

Take for instance, two individuals of A and B who may come to find themselves in diverse circumstances. Such circumstance of which A may find himself in the wilderness with portable water, but no food. The other circumstance of which B may come to find himself in a deserted environment with food but not with portable water. It becomes obvious, that A with portable water, food becomes the greater objective value than portable water while for B with food; portable water becomes the greater objective value than water.

Therefore, distinguishing between the relative value of food and water between the two individual, it is obvious that it can never be a matter of opinion but of facts based on the different reality they had to contend. The same is true, that in practical terms, this is the reality we currently refuse or denied to acknowledge that actually exist, that require to be face up to in our collective reality.

[b]TEMPERANCE;-It is the quality of moderation, restraint and reason and it is a factor to be recognized in the avoidance of extremism and errors. It is also the first among other virtue that guide us in the application of other virtues like honesty, fortitude and compassion etc. The foundation of temperance is rooted in our willingness to concede that not all of our idea is right and correct. Although, this does not necessarily mean to back out of our convictions, on the contrary, it is simply means to back away from any possible errors and extremism.

It is true; we have our convictions and belief and have come to recognized in all honesty that belief is not facts. It is also true that we come to recognized that any form of extremism is the result of inattention to temperance rooted in dishonest position. It is true we must recognized that our conceptual faculty is volitional, rooted in the power to choose; such that often we do not always know which action and value will be right. This often happen in particular when we are faced with choices for action, as we calculate what the likely consequence for alternative action will be.

At this point, reality becomes complex as it tends to repeat with subtle interconnections in such a way that any prediction could be unreliable or impossible to figure out. It is true, that unless we adapt a systematic approach rooted in human needs, in ethical principle, the problems remains. There are some individual who subscribed to some kind of situational ethical approach and others to some pragmatic approach.

But only to regard each new situation as unconnected to any kind of principle or greater reality, if you like. In this perspective, a concept like honesty and justice becomes simply a byword or meaningless abstraction. Why they ask, why I should act honestly, if I can obtain a greater profit by being deceptive.

Of cause, they see themselves a practical and smart individual as they fenced themselves in by their past blunders. Often times, they tend to get away with their dishonesty but some other time they are cutup to suffer the consequences.

It does happen my dear, she find u exceptional, and you are not at fault either. But suggest to her to have a helping hand apart from you and listen what she has to say. Avoid any rash decision taken for now and do not be carried away by any negative outside influence. She count on you so much.

Really, she could not be totally wrong in her judgment , because, there are category of such individual in specific term but not in general terms.

Great, for your advise of hope and inspiration for the younger generation.

Great, it is helpful.

 Preventive maintenance is always a planned technical type of maintenance. It is performed regularly at a predetermined interval of time, which means periodically on equipment.

The aim and objective of this periodic maintenance, is to avoid and minimize the failure of the equipments in use at any point in time. There are three type of fundamental and basic preventive maintenance, which is - (1.) Systematic, (2.) Condition–based (3) forecast preventive.

CONDITION-BASE, P.M, requires the monitoring of Equipment functions in a particular parameters of a particular operation, as it overcome the disadvantage of Routine Maintenance.

SYSTEMATIC, P.M is the first stage, due to its critical importance in the control of degradation of any component- parts of equipments.

The reason is that it is periodic or predetermine time interval, without controlling the general condition of the equipment.-Example of the periodic service based on a particular KM-reading.

It is done with a solid knowledge and high reliable method with elimination of doubt or any further monitoring with periodic inspection.

It is Systematic preventive maintenance because it is performed on components. Those components that did not require expensive replacement cost, before any break down could take place .

The activities which includes in the performance of PM checks like the followings;-

1.Oil Filters;- For the sake of peak performance, oil filters can be change at every three (3)- months or 3,000KMS, which ever comes up first. But it must be replaced with oil change at the same time.

2.Power Steering Fluid; - The level of it must be checked once per month through the reservoir dipstick. When it is low, add fluid and inspect the pump and hoses for any leaks.

3.Shocks -Absorber;- Look for any defective sign on the shock absorber and test the shock action by bouncing the vehicle up and down. Check for any leak or worn-out and replaced in pairs.

The forecast preventive is always based on experience of the equipment in question as acquitted to in its functionality overtime.
Watch the vidio presentation on preventive maintenance below;-

Great, hope it is maintained because, maintenance has overtime becomes one of Nigeria problem.

Wheel balancing is necessary to restore proper balance in a vehicle. And tread wear causes the distribution of weight around the tire to change, and this leads to imbalance that causes shake or vibration. During wheel balancing, there is in use the calibrated spin balancer that test both the static(non moving) and dynamic (moving) wheel balance. The balancing is carried out when the tire is rotated on the wheel, usually in every 5-6,000km.
Wheel alignment is also referred to as "front end alignment" and sometimes, simply tire alignment. The angle of wheel is adjusted to position of the recommended specification. This will include tire check for sign of poor alignment and inspection of the toe, camber and caster which are the three components for measuring wheel orientation. Wheel alignment can be checked when the vehicle is pulling to one side or if there is a recent collision of the vehicle. So we can say, they are separate services of which one can be done frequently to enhance the life and performance of the tires and the other not as often, which is the alignment.

The sight shown here about the Nigerian Universities, if it is true, I think it is high time, Nigeria Government get its ash together to get over these disgusting sight of the Nigerian Universities. If I may ask, is it because we as Nigerian, are not patriotic and do not really love our country that we allow certain things to happen as they do.

In oversea university, Nigerian are striving a great deal as many of them often with first class. And what this tends to mean is that Nigerian are brilliant people whether the devil like it or not. Then why are we so lacking in tackling these basic discrepancies, in our education, environment, power and name it. We need to upgrade our level of reflection.. And I think if we cannot maintain Universities, we can as well limit the numbers.

Preventative maintenance includes services, designed to detect and prevent potential failures as well as services intended to prolong the operational life of the equipment. Activities that are included in the performance of most PM on the vehicles checks include:

1.The Air Filter;-[b][/b]This must be checked every month. It can be replaced or tune-up when it becomes too dirty.

2.Battery; -Extreme caution must be take when handling any battery, because it can produce explosive gases. It is advisable, not to smoke, create a spark or light matches near the battery. Always must wear protective glasses and gloves.

3.Fan-Belts; - The fan-belts and holes must be inspected every month and any fray or worn out belt must be replaced. Replace also any bulging, brittle holes and tighten the clamps. On inspection, if holes looks bad, feel too soft and too hard, it must be replaced.

4.Brake Fluid; - The brake fluid must be check monthly, but the dirt must be wiped-out from the master cylinder reservoir lid. Always check for possible leaks throughout the system but do not overfill.

5.Engine oil; - The engine oil should be checked after every fill up. The dipstick is removed and wiped clean then insert it again. But if it is low, add oil but know that the oil should be change after every 3 month or 3,000miles, and oil filter is replaced at every oil change.

6.Exhaust;- Look underneath for any loose or broken exhaust clamp and supports. Check for any holes in the muffler or pipes. Any rust or damaged parts must be replaced. Check the emission in compliance with the laws.

7.Lights;- Always make sure that all the lights are clean and working, including the brake lights. Turn on the signal and emergency flasher to see they are ok. Keep spare bulbs and fuses in the vehicle in case you may need them.

Know that Preventive Maintenance is a necessary expense just to keep the equipment in good working condition. Therefore, the schedule maintenance recommendation must always be followed very closely in the manuals.

Because, checking fluid level regularly changing the filters periodically can minimize the risk of breakdown and prolong the life of the engine, Transmission, cooling system and brakes.

The definition of Maintenance is a combination of action carried out to restore in any equipment, to its normal working condition. Here there are two set of maintenance which is –Proactive and Reactive Maintenance.

(1.) On the one hand is –the Predictive Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance which are the proactive maintenance.
(2.) Then on the other is the Corrective Maintenance system which is the Reactive Maintenance.

Therefore, the four Maintenance commitment and strategies are as follows;-
 (1) Preventive Maintenance – The type of Maintenance carried out regularly before any major break down, to restore any equipment back to its normal working condition and often it is a combination of routine and periodic maintenance in action.
 (2.) Predictive Maintenance -carried out before it is actually necessary after a careful examination or inspection of any equipment. It is unforeseen action carried out with diagnostic equipment in order to avoid any impending and emergency breakdown of the equipment.
 (3) Corrective Maintenance- the type of maintenance carried out after the break down of any equipment called -recto-active strategy system of maintenance. It often said to be cost saving because it prolong the life of any equipment without risk of running to any form of failure.
 (4) Reliability-Center-Maintenance –the type of maintenance that involved the improvement programme in the cost –effective and technically feasible approach. It also comes to utilize a systematic structured approach based on the consequences of any failure.

THE FOUR (4)-LIKELY CONSEQUENCES OF POOR MAINTENANCE.

 (1) –Reduced production Capacity.- This is when the Assets tends to perform under-expected target of which the consequence is down-time.
 (2.)- Increase Production cost- This is when the real cost and opportunity cost increases due to asset not performing in its optimal level.
 (3)- Low quality Product & Services- This is when we have customer dissatisfaction that could result to lost of sales and costumers in the process.
 (4)- Safety Hazard- that implies failure leading to injuries and finances and even lost of life in the process.

SOME WAYS TO OVERCOME THESE PROBLEMS

 These problems can be partially overcome through Schedule inspections and monitoring programmes to assist in optimizing the planned maintenance intervals.
 Through a structure like method called –Checklist- through which consistent information about the actual condition of the equipment is known.
 A designed out maintenance method to eliminate high cost due to poor engineering design and maintenance practices or operation of a system outside its design-specification.

Sometime ago, we said even though, Culture is difficult to define, but it is the work environment we are supplied with, the moment we are in the work place. Culture is a powerful element, because it shapes the work environment, relationship and the unique work process. In what may be termed the global environment, people increasingly work together across culture, in spite of the lack of understanding of the underling difference that may intentionally or unintentionally inflict adverse opposition.

Often, people has come to assumed that working in the same place and speaking the same language, may come to mean having the same goals and objective. But it must be observed that while the goals and objective may be the same, but the partway to getting there often take different hazardous twist and turns. Make no mistake, in some cases, this may manifest in the increased level of frustration and stress in the process. Often time, this could even result in lack of motivation and productivity, and not the least, in the very misunderstanding that ultimately may affect the set goal and objective.

In the worst scenarios, any misunderstanding may affect the professional relationship or partnership, where either side of the parties may be left wondering or feeling perplexed of what must have gone wrong. Often time, most people resist any form of change in their core value and behavioral pattern overnight. Therefore, the need to building a cultural awareness skill, and sometimes, the resistance to this core value may decrease some of the issues that have the potentiality to damage business relationship which could have allow for smother transition when working across cultures. With such problems, here are some tips to increase productivity level as well as enhancing the communication skills across any cultural setting.

1. The disposition to clarifying issue of both verbal and non-verbal language is required. Because, what one may considered a forthright and honest- direct approach may turn out with the other to lose face, as to create distrust and strain in any future interaction.

And we must be aware of how we present any subject as we watch the body language of communication. Never assume to understand gestures, because, such gesture that may be acceptable to one culture may be an insult to another culture. Therefore more of verbal expression to explicate a non-verbal gesture is advised.

3. Avoid taking others mistake as a personal issue, like your team member, who might bring his or her own work style and perspective into the team work. This must serve as an opportunity to learn by asking for an explanation to understand the reason behind it rather than view it otherwise.

4. We must increase our awareness of preconceptions, because we all carry our cultural luggage of behavior, values and perspective of how we view the world and others around us. An increase awareness of preconception, may allow us to categorize situation and people around us at the same time. Because the more we are aware of our subjective view, the easier we might come to understand others with their differences. Often, this may ultimately assist to break the stereotype and of what one might take to be a false generalization about people and their cultural bias.

[b][/b]5. Recognize the principle of triple-AAA, which are Adaptation, Adjustment and Accommodation. Adapt in the new environment as you adjust your thinking and behavior to new circumstances in order to accommodate to meet up with the new expectation. With the triple AAA –principle, any crises situation can be defused as it provides an insight and facilitate to building a lasting relationship. It also can assist to understand what motivate you as it increases the capacity to communicate with confidence -

Be focus and avoid distraction. Because people will always say something and do not cause them.But you simply need to pray, and if you can do not listen to what they say and are saying and you will be fine. Get it !!.

Be focus, people will always say something. Don't be distracted- Kemi.
