�������� When I retire to bed every evening ruminating over life, I discovered that: �������� Sometimes, to succeed in life you need ENEMIES.... Yes!!! �������� You need people who will mock you, so that you can run to God. �������������� You need people who will try to intimidate you, so that you can be courageous. ������� You need people who will say "NO" so that you can learn how to be independent...I mean how to do it yourself. �♀�♀�♀�♀�♀�♀�♀�♀ You need people who will disappoint you so that you can put all your trust in God alone. ���������������� You need people who will work towards you loosing that job, so that you can start your own big business. ���������������� You need people who will sell your 'Joseph' so that 'you' can get to Egypt and be a Prime Minister in a strange land of captivity. �������� You need a cruel landlord, so that you won't be too comfortable in someone else's house, then you can build your own house on time. �������� But sometimes, when we are disappointed, we feel very bad and we tend to remain on that spot. Not knowing that the end-point of disappointment is the beginning of your accomplishments. ���������������� Understand this, "that every disappointment you once had came with a blessing!" However, it is not everyone that partakes in this blessing that I'm talking about. �������� You cannot see a new OPEN door while you are still putting all your attention, time and energy in trying to force the closed one to open. ������ And again I say, "No disappointment can ever come without an attached blessing!" ������� So, when the disappointment come, thank God for it and tell "HIM" to open your eyes to see the new blessing that HE has for you! ����� Disappointment is PHASE 1 while accomplishment is PHASE 2. I doubt if one can jump the protocols. ��♂�♀�♀��♂�♀��♂ That is why it is called BREAKTHROUGH Something must BREAK so that you can go THROUGH! ������ Encourage someone today....you are lifted. Please don't thank me for this post but bless others by sharing this. God bless you all. ��⚫⚪�☑ |

Lovely write up |
Dear Mummy and Daddy...... Daddy, don't wear ordinary boxer at home, you sit down, your 'thing' is dangling and your daughter is seeing it. There are things you should not wear beyond your bedroom, just for your spouse. Don't say because you want to enjoy your freedom in your house. It's not your house alone, it's a family house/home. You are putting your children into sexual bondage through these acts. The initiation starts from home. Mummy, wearing ordinary bra around the house in the presence of your sons is dangerous. Yes, they won't lust after you, but you might be messing up with their sensuality; and increasing their curiosity to see the breasts of ladies out there. Let's stop being 'pornographic materials' to our children. Raising sexually pure children, it begins at home.' It begins with me and you. My Counsel: Thank you very much for the issues raised in family section. It is still our responsibility to build virtue into our family. We need to learn from others. Still on building virtuous homes. Look at this: *HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING IN CHILDREN* Please, carefully look into the list below to see where you may want to make amends on yourself or the young ones you are caring for. Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if the parents are at the top of their career. Manners take you to where your education can't take you, irrespective of your status, money or the "who you know" factor This is not meant to hurt anyone or pinpoint on someone for their upbringing. Its a general message targeted to all the parents of today. *1.* Going to your child's school dressed indecently? Think again. *2.* Speaking rashly to your child's teacher. *3.* Cursing, using foul words or swearing in front of your children. *4.* Using makeup on children. *5.* Dressing with tight clothes and indecently for children (they loose the sense of their princesshood and may not listen to you in future) *7.* Your child holds the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't make a correction. *8.* Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. (You will be blamed for it) *9.* Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day. *10.* Your children brought home something you did not buy for them and you said nothing. (That is the beginning of stealing) *11.* They talked back at you and you concluded it's okay since you're a 21st century mummy. (You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined) *12.* They interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (It's really bad manners) *13.* They exercise authority over their nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. (That is bad parenting) *14.* They say things like "my driver is on his way..." I am not an advocate that children should call your domestic staff aunty or brother but, calling them by names when they are not young people is not poise either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them. *15.* Your children don't say- 'Thank you' when they have been helped or served something. They don't know how to say "please" when they need someone for help; and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting) *16.* When your children cannot stand children who are less privileged. *18.* When they pick their nose with their hands. *19.* When they don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom. *20.* When your children take something from the fridge without taking permission. (Bad parenting) *21.* When your children don't knock on closed doors. *22.* When your children don't collect from your hands the stuff you brought in as you walk in through the door. *23.* When your children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task. (That is disgraceful) *24.* When your children act like their grandparents are irritating them. *25.* When your children have not learnt to get up from the chair for the elderly or visitors to sit. *26.* When your child tells a lot of lies. (You will both cry in the future if such is not put to check) *27.* When your child asks "who is that?" at a knock on your door instead of "please, who is there." *28.* When your child is always seated by your visitors when being served drinks etc. *29.* When your children still point their fingers at other people. *30.* When your children play and jump around when prayers are going on. (age 4 above). Don't be a 21st Century parent who cannot correct a child. Train your child in the way of the Lord, so that when he grows up he will not depart from it. *IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM, IF NOT YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY WITH BAD AND TERRIBLE BEHAVIOURS!* May Almighty God never let this be our portion. Amen. "A STITCH IN TIME SAVE S NINE. |

The very good thing for bitcoin is, and be focused for a moment, as it’s important,… it retraced during the bull run when the political bullshit made it retrace even further down. Basically the sellers are done selling and it was in consolidation period,… giving it THE BEST POSSIBLE chance to unpeg itself. I don’t know if it will happen, but if it shows strength now, the people could follow strongly. They need to move money somewhere. USD is not safe. Stocks (US economy) the more involved in the war with Russia (not some random 5 million people country)… the weaker. Where to put the money in? Bitcoin has the opportunity now. And it looks exactly like this. Let’s see if it can get strong enough momentum to take a lead in this! Join m y c r y p t o n g on telegram if you'd like to learn crypto n us stock |
If you are worried about market, understand this that currently Geopolitical situation is not good. There are many more things which are going at one time. Most of the financial markets are suffering except Gold and Crude Oil. Russia and Ukraine war news has controlled the markets. Expect more volatility in coming days if war happens Biden or Putin, no one is ready to let things go. Effect will be on Crypto too. BTC is no exception. All you can do is to wait and see whats going on. Thats it. According to my thinking, things will be much better in coming 2 weeks. Lets see how things goes? Cheers!!! |

All Rights Reserved My trip to Kirikiri Women Prison AUTHOR: Olabisi Deji-Folutile JULY 22, 2021 1:10 PM It all started a few months ago when the women group in the Opic Area of the Living Faith Church decided to pay a visit to the Nigerian Correctional Service(NCoS), formerly known as Nigerian Prison Service (NPS). The aim was to extend the love of Christ to the inmates. I had heard so much about the deplorable state of Nigerian prisons and the savage treatments that inmates are often subjected to. The story out there is that it is almost impossible for anyone to go into a Nigerian prison and return as a human being. They say our prisons turn human beings into animals. This narrative is not far-fetched going by an avalanche of reports on the problem of overpopulation in Nigerian prisons. An ex-convict of the Owerri Prison once said his cell measured 32ft in length and 28ft in width, one bathroom and two toilets with approximately 100 inmates staying there. It’s easy to imagine how dehumanising life can be in such a pathetic situation. Aside the overcrowding and poor sanitation that characterise our prisons, there is also the problem of corruption among members of prison staff. A lawyer friend told me that lawyers always bribe their way through every point to see their clients in these facilities. And like many things in Nigeria that are never enough, food is always inadequate, medicines unavailable. Government’s decision to change the name of prison service to correctional service hasn’t resulted in any real change of story. It is still the same system, with the same people and same experience! Unfortunately, majority of the people in these prisons are not even convicts. Most of them are still awaiting trial. As far back as 2018, data from the surveys done by the Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action (PRAWA) and the Nigerian Prisons Service showed that out of 68,110 inmates only 21, 354 were actually convicts while the remaining 46,756 were merely accused individuals awaiting trials. Back to my story, a lot of us were excited about the prison visit that finally took place on Friday, July 16- the day Lagos traffic went haywire. For me, it was an opportunity to see if all the pictures in my head about Nigerian correctional homes were real or fake. Before then, the only mental pictures I had of prisons were the images provided by our Nollywood actors which were quite repulsive to say the least. So, I had expected to see many old and undernourished women looking pale and haggard. I also thought I would see women dressed in some kind of green or blue prison uniforms, with a shaven head, cutting grass all around the prison premises. But there was nothing like that. Advertisement The first thing that shocked me during the visit to Kirikiri Women’s Prison, which incidentally is the only all-women prison in Nigeria, is that inmates wore their normal clothes- no prison uniform. Everyone looked well kept, well fed and full of life. Their hair was well plaited. They all appeared generally healthy. Perhaps, the only thing that fits into my expectation was the complete incarceration and restriction of the inmates’ movement to the four walls of the prison yard. Apart from this, the place is just like a normal girls’ hostel. I later learnt that the female inmates enjoy better services because they were fewer in number compared to their male counterparts. According to available data, female prisoners make up just around two per cent of inmates population in Nigeria. I learnt that while female inmates in Kirikiri are less than 200, their male counterparts are at least 3,000. Meanwhile, the carrying capacity of facilities for women and men are almost the same. Fortunately also for the women, the deputy controller of female prison, DCP Lizzie Ekpendu, has used her influence to expand facilities in the women prison thus further improving the living conditions there. From what I saw, the DCP deserves some commendation. She was practically like a mother to the inmates. We had waited for her for some time because she had to be around before we could have access to the inmates. By the time she came; she told us that she was held in traffic while trying to get a cake for her children’s graduation. I had thought that she was referring to her biological children until I discovered that the cake was actually meant for inmates graduating from a vocational course held within the facility. She prefers to see the inmates as her children or at best residents. To her, they are there for a while to be reformed and rehabilitated through the action of prison officials who she described as loving but very strict. This, she proved in our presence. Despite her closeness to the inmates, she insisted on what was right. She ensured that there was a roll call of inmates before our programme was allowed to commence. She also made sure that all the inmates attended the programme. No doubt, her efforts have raised the standard of life in that facility. The Kirikiri women prison boasts of some level of comfort for the inmates who also refer to DCP Ekpendu as their mum. Naturally, the inmates are likely to have their low moments as humans, but there is nothing that suggests that they are downcast at least from their looks. To be candid, I had one of the best praise sessions I have ever enjoyed in a long while during the praise time led by inmates. It was powerful. It’s as if the angels temporarily relocated their place of abode. We all danced, jumped, screamed and rejoiced in the Lord with our might and strength. The atmosphere was both lifting and hilarious. What I however found surprising is the age range of the female inmates. About 80 percent of the women in this facility are very young adults, many of them probably in their teens. Some of them are so young that they can best be described as children. It is as if the facility is only meant for young children. It looks more like a juvenile home than a women prison. I kept asking myself-how did these young ones end up in KiriKiri? What could they have done? Why is the women prison populated by young girls? What types of offences did these young girls commit? Unfortunately out of about the 200 residents of the facility, only 32 are convicted and serving their sentences. The majority – about 167 are awaiting trial, which means that the majority of the young girls in this facility are probably on the awaiting trial list. This is very sad. In a bid to get answers to some of my questions, I spoke with some of the young girls. They claimed they were victims of police raids. One of them said she went out to buy food in the night, and that he was apprehended by the police for wandering, and that was how she found herself in Kirikiri. Asked when she got to the facility, she said since last year. When I asked her about the efforts her parents were making to secure her release, I heard the unexpected. Her parents were not aware of where she was. How come? She said her parents lived in the village and she had not bothered to tell them where she was. Judging from the way this girl responded to my questions, she had accepted her fate. May be she was homeless before her sojourn to the prison. Who knows? I didn’t have the opportunity to speak with many of the girls. But I guess many of them must have been arrested in brothels or in the Red Light District of Lagos. My worry is that with what I saw in Kirikiri women prison, one could be tempted to conclude that only young girls commit offences in Lagos. Are Nigerian police telling the world that this is the situation? Why are older women not too many in Kirikiri? Is it a case of the police pretending to work by just harassing the vulnerable and ignoring the bigger and more powerful offenders? These are the real posers for the Nigerian police force. Meanwhile, I learnt that many of these girls found themselves in prison because of lack of legal representations. I also learnt that some of them were there because they do not have the means to pay their fines which can be as small as N30, 000 or less in some cases. It is also said that majority of the inmates remain in jail and await trial because they cannot afford the service of a lawyer. This is frustrating. Overall, the takeaway from my prison visit is that this country is wasting its youths on different fronts. Aside grooming child bandits, terrorists, Boko Haram insurgents, cultists, etc, Nigeria is perhaps also fast breeding child sexual workers and kid convicts. To decongest our correctional facilities of these child inmates, I suggest that government intensifies its intervention in the area of legal representation by making available more public lawyers that can provide free legal services for these young people. Food may not really be a problem for Kirikiri inmates, but the figure of the young ladies on the awaiting trial list is definitely alarming. Wealthy individuals and organisations could also bear the responsibility of providing legal services for these inmates or assist in paying the little fines that have kept them within the prison walls unnecessarily. This will go a long way in decongesting the correctional centre. Olabisi Deji-Folutile (PhD) is the editor-in-chief, franktalknow.com and member, Nigerian Guild of Editors.

By Ventura1 On Dec 21, 2015 I would like to share the story of my encounter with the Nigerian police in Lagos, Nigeria specifically with the men of the Idimu Police station, Area M. As this is a story that might resonate with a lot of Nigerians, I am not unaware that the story that I am about to share is common but I believe that the fact that this happens almost daily should not allow us to see it as acceptable norm or behavior. We are after all human beings who should be accorded human dignity. On the 15th of December 2015 at about 11am I left my house in search of fuel for my car and generator, after being able to get the product only for the car at the NNPC station I proceeded to drive down to an ATM point to withdraw some money as I intended to get some more fuel. I got to the Isheri round about very near Idimu and I was about to take the turn when I saw a police vehicle by my side with a man waving, I stopped thinking that they were requesting right of way but I noticed he was pointing that I park. I parked just by the side as a law abiding citizen and soon after 1 policeman came over and requested that he get into the vehicle, I opened the door and he asked who owned the vehicle to which I replied that I did, he also asked for my vehicle particulars, driver license all which I provided and he confirmed to be ok and intact. He then proceeded to ask me what I do to which I replied that I was a civil servant and also showed him my identity card. I expected him to exit the vehicle at that point but he asked to see my phone, my two phones meanwhile were visibly displayed by my side. I asked him why he would want to see my phone as I felt that was a violation of my privacy but he insisted and I felt since he had returned my vehicle papers I would get the phones back immediately. At that point a 2nd police officer had walked to my side of the window, he also requested to see my other blackberry phone. I complied knowing that I had nothing to hide , it was barely 20 seconds when I gave the 2nd policeman that he asked me who had the email accounts on my blackberry device, I replied and told him I did. The next thing I heard shocked me as the 2nd policeman made a baseless, unwarranted, logic defying statement and accused me of being an online fraudster, I couldn’t believe what I had just heard, how do you stop a man in his car without any proof, any report or prior investigation and label him an online fraudster I denied this and said I was not an online fraudster as I was a civil servant working with the government and that I had identified myself earlier on with the 1st police officer. He said he could see 2 email addresses on the phone and that was proof that I was an online fraudster, I told them that having multiple email addresses was not illegal and didn’t make me an online fraudster. All this while my phones were with them, I was told to drive to the police station to clear the accusations at that point I knew the police officers were being mischievous. While on the short drive to the police station the police man started asking questions like “e be like say you don live abroad before?” to which I did not respond. We got to the police station and the police man continued to stay in the vehicle, I kept asking what I was brought to the station for without any valid response as he kept looking through my Facebook messages, pictures, WhatsApp, emails. Finally he said we should get out of the car and was joined by the 2nd policeman. I was taken to a canteen in the police premise at the Idimu station, there I was asked to explain pictures of my trip abroad, the picture of my passport, my letter by COREN that I was certified as a registered engineer, my pictures at work, sms sent to relatives wishing them a happy new month, emails from my bank, chats with a colleague at work who was telling me his travel plans, internal memos from my work place and other private information. This they said showed I was online fraudster , I could not believe this, how would anyone with a sane mind claim that by sending a sms or becoming an engineer, owning multiple email addresses or travelling equate to becoming an online fraudster. It was a preposterous suggestion that I kept refuting, but these 2 policemen were hell bent on warping the rule of law. I told them since I had responded to all they had asked and as such I had nothing to be held down for, this got them more adamant and they started to say I was acting smart, after almost an hour I was asked to follow them and that they would show me, I was taken to the anti vice office on the 1st floor of a 1 storey building. I got there and the office had 3 women and another man sitted, by then they were already saying they would deal with me as they kept going through my phone they then saw some emails from a premier online store in Nigeria (names withheld) and asked how I came about that, I explained that I registered on the website and that anyone could do that. At that juncture the 1st policeman Mr. Godwin Imo (384734) retorted and said any online business is a fraud, he said I should provide an ID card from the online store, I said I did not have an ID card from the store as you only needed to register and tried explaining that just like people were on Facebook, Facebook do not issue ID’s .it was most heart-wrenching to see the display of ignorance by an officer in this modern world. I was then told to write a statement I asked the reason why I should write any statement as I was not informed that I was arrested or being detained neither was there any case reported against me and I followed them because I thought it was just a regular traffic stop. Immediately I said that 1 of the women in the office replied in a most aggressive manner that I was not serious and I must write a statement with the policeman boasting that this was the anti robbery and not a traffic department. Knowing very well the news of how innocent people are paraded as robbers or even dead bodies displayed as robbers killed in gun battles. I decided to thread more softly with care even as I reminded them that I work and serve the Federal government just like them. At this point I asked that I be allowed to make a call, to my shock I was refused saying I could only make a call when I had written a statement. This was a brazen denial of my basic right, I told them that I was not writing any statement at which they began to sound more menacing saying they were going to make a case out of this, another woman in the office then said I should write a statement stating all that happened and my response to any question they might ask me, at this point the 2nd officer Mr. Okah James (365635) forcefully said I should write a statement and was claiming he would write to the British embassy that I had a criminal record including all sorts of threats like writing to the online store etc , this only proved to me that these men were highly incapable of critical thinking and I had to be more careful to save my life. I decided to write a statement only if to be able to call and notify someone of my present location before anything untoward happened. While I was filling the information details on the statement form I had filled my phone number, home address, e.t.c I was stopped short by Officer Okah James and said the best I could do was to bail myself. I pleaded to make a call so someone could come and help me, I believe the officers hearing “help” took it for me wanting to bring someone to bring money and I was allowed to make a call to a family member the Officer Okah James even spoke with my family member and I pleaded that they wait as they said I had to take them to the online stores office at Akowonjo road. To cut the story short, after asking me to get into their vehicle with me being told I would be handcuffed after I protested severely. My family member came vouched for me and seeing that the person was elderly they soft pedaled and told lies that I was an online fraudster and I claimed to be working with the online store, a call was put to a police officer known by my family member who then spoke with Officer Okah James. After about an hour with the 2 officers they said since they had spoken with a superior officer they would let me go if I paid 10,000 naira for fuel. Seeing no headway we had to part with some money, before I was let off after I had spent over 3 hours. I can only imagine what would have happened if could not speak up or I was some uneducated persons who had no form of identification, worst still if I had no money to settle them. I feel sad for Nigeria, the very people who should protect and defend us are those who abuse and intimidate us. This is what you get even when you’re law abiding and dutifully serve your country. NB: For record purpose I was lucky enough to have voice recordings for some of the events. My questions and the posers that arise are these... i. Is the Nigerian police allowed to indiscriminately violate your privacy without a warrant as in the case of my phones been searched? ii. Is it legal for the police to hold you in their custody and refuse you a right to make a phone call and do they have such power? iii. Do the police have the power to make a fictitious charge against you and ask you to pay bail for a charge they can’t prove? iv. How is justice obtained for cases such as this where people are falsely accused and detained? I hope this gets to the appropriate authorities and I can get answers as I am actually worried because I ply this route all the time and several Nigerians including myself are at the mercy of these men. All the same I love Nigeria and I am proudly one but the future needs us to speak out against evil and any form of oppression for the better tomorrow we all desires. |
