Good morning my Ogbonge people.
Today na another Sunday that present to us the opportunity to worship Chineke.
Tell us the name of your church and the topic your pastor/ rev father preached on today .

In a move that has captured the attention of international observers and economists, Burkina Faso’s President Ibrahim Traore has made the decision to decline financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This decision marks a significant moment for the West African nation as it navigates its economic and political landscape.
The IMF, known for providing financial support to countries in need, had approved a substantial arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility for Burkina Faso, aimed at addressing the country’s balance of payments problems and supporting economic resilience and poverty reduction efforts. However, President Traore’s administration has opted to turn down this offer.

This decision could be seen as a statement of economic independence and a desire to pursue a different path towards financial stability and development. It reflects a broader trend of African leaders evaluating the terms and long-term implications of international financial aid. President Traore’s stance may resonate with a growing sentiment for self-sufficiency and a cautious approach to foreign debt.

One of the key reasons cited for rejecting the IMF’s assistance is the belief that such aid could perpetuate economic dependency and limit the country’s control over its financial decisions. There is also a sentiment that accepting the aid could keep the country ensnared in a cycle of debt. This perspective aligns with a broader trend among some African leaders who are re-evaluating the long-term implications of international financial aid and expressing a preference for policies that promote autonomy and self-determination.
Additionally, the decision reflects concerns about the potential for international financial institutions to influence domestic policy and priorities. By turning down the IMF assistance, Burkina Faso is asserting its financial sovereignty and demonstrating a commitment to prioritizing the well-being of its citizens above external pressures.

It’s important to note that Burkina Faso faces numerous challenges, including security issues and the impact of external shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and adverse weather conditions. Despite these difficulties, the government’s decision suggests a willingness to address these challenges independently, possibly looking towards other forms of partnership and support that align more closely with the nation’s goals and values.
Burkina Faso has faced numerous challenges, including security concerns, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and adverse weather conditions, all of which have strained the nation’s economy. Despite these hurdles, the government seems committed to seeking alternative strategies for growth and development.

The move has sparked discussions on the sustainability of such a decision and its potential impact on Burkina Faso’s future. Some analysts argue that while this could foster a sense of national pride and control over the country’s resources, it also raises questions about the viability of self-funded development in the face of significant economic challenges.

As Burkina Faso charts its course, the international community will be watching closely to see how this decision unfolds and what it might mean for the future of financial assistance and economic sovereignty in Africa. The country’s leadership appears to be signaling a new era of autonomy and self-determination, setting a precedent that could influence the region’s economic policies for years to come.

Mark Zuckerberg is known for being one of the wealthiest CEOs in the world, but he doesn’t always flaunt his money. In many ways, the Meta founder chooses a lifestyle that is not too far off from the average person. He ditches the traditional decadence of the ultra-wealthy and opts for a more simple way of life.

Zuckerberg’s frugal habits, however, do not extend to his charitable giving. In December 2015, the social media chief executive pledged to give away 99% of the Facebook shares owned by him and his wife, Priscilla Chan. At the time, the holdings were worth over $45 billion.

While the philanthropist does spend jaw-dropping amounts of money on some items, he continues to make headlines for living a less-than-opulent lifestyle.

Here are five things he won’t waste money on.

1. Expensive Clothes
Instead of a carefully tailored Italian suit, Zuckerberg opts for a more casual look. He is frequently photographed wearing T-shirts and jeans. He was often criticized for his work attire, which some felt was not reflective of his status as a CEO. However, he remained steadfast for years, wearing the same gray T-shirt, hoodie and jeans to the Facebook offices each day.

Zuckerberg isn’t the only successful businessman to wear an outfit on repeat. As discussed in Smart Company, the co-founder’s low-key apparel was a choice to help him reduce the number of decisions he had to make each day. He is well-known for stating that he tries to eliminate the number of nonessential decisions he has to make each day, which apparently includes what to wear in the morning.

2. Pricey Cars
In addition to his non-flashy wardrobe, Zuckerberg is also known for driving less than luxurious vehicles. While he may own a fleet of them, many are affordable. According to some reports, including Way.com, he at one time owned a Honda Fit and a Volkswagen Golf MK6.

The Harvard dropout is not the only one of the world’s wealthiest to drive cars that can be owned by the middle class. As reported by CNBC, Michael Bloomberg drives a Chevrolet Suburban and Jeff Bezos has been seen in a Honda Accord. At GOBankingRates, we asked experts why the rich drive cheap cars and found that many of them value practicality and functionality over luxury.

3. An Over-the-Top Wedding
Mark Zuckerberg tied the knot with Priscilla Chan in 2012, nearly a decade after meeting her at a college party. The two have made headlines for their philanthropy and their not-so-decadent wedding. Just one day after Facebook went public, the two exchanged vows in their Palo Alto backyard. The wedding was hush-hush, with guests believing they were attending Chan’s medical school graduation party. The understated affair was catered by local restaurants and likely cost hundreds of thousands of dollars less than the typical billionaire’s wedding.

4. A Huge Salary
While the Meta founder is a billionaire, he doesn’t spend money on a salary for himself. In 2023, he made a salary of only $1, carrying on the tradition that he set a decade earlier. The self-made businessman, however, isn’t hurting for cash. Most of his earnings are classified as “other compensation.” The majority of the compensation is spent on security for Zuckerberg, according to the report.

5. Luxury Vacations
While the rich and famous are known for taking lavish vacations to otherworldly destinations, Zuckerberg and his family tend to fly under the radar. They don’t seem to feel the need to flaunt their wealth, choosing instead to keep their vacations more down to earth, like the one they took to Kauai, where they ate the island’s famed burgers and visited local shops.

While his trips may seem relaxed and cost-effective, Zuckerberg doesn’t always pinch pennies. He is said to own a multimillion-dollar compound on the island of Kauai. The property serves as a getaway for him and his family. It was allegedly under construction in December 2023 with plans for a “huge underground bunker.”

Leadership Newspaper has honoured Hyacinth Alia, governor of Benue, with the governor of the year award.

In a statement on Monday, Tersoo Kula, chief press secretary to the governor, said the award was in recognition of Alia’s “exceptional leadership” in Benue state.

Kula said the newspaper praised Alia for strengthening the state’s internally generated revenue (IGR) and giving hope of a better life to the people of Benue.

He said the media organisation highlighted the governor’s achievements since he assumed office six months ago, adding that Alia has prioritised the elimination of corruption, education, road projects and the transportation system.

Governor Alia’s six months in office has witnessed a downpour of commendable transformative achievements which have ignited hope, improved livelihoods, and rekindled the spirit of optimism amongst Benue people,” the statement reads.

“Leadership Newspaper highlighted some of the governor’s achievements in line with the priorities of his administration as enshrined in his blueprint.

“They emphasized timely delivery of fertilizer to farmers at subsidized rate, prompt and sustained payment of salaries, pensions, and gratuity, and eradication of the menace of ghost workers.

“The media house also acknowledged the new retirement age and length of service for primary and secondary school teachers which governor Alia has approved, the recovery of numerous looted vehicles, tens of hectares of land, and numerous landed properties from the previous administration, as well as approved training of 10, 000 training of Benue youths in ICT.

“Ongoing construction of 16 roads measuring 15.39 kilometres within the Makurdi metropolis, and donation of 100 buses to Benue Links Company to ease movement mad cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal on Benue people.”

The chief press secretary named some of the governor’s achievements highlighted by the media organisation as improved monthly allowances of N15,000 for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members and N100,000 for NYSC doctors who are serving in the state.

Recently, the Benue house of assembly passed a vote of confidence on Alia for his effective management of state resources and other leadership achievements.

Disease is a physiological process that comes as pathogens and host and are accompany by a definite symptoms

Happy Sunday all,
What is that special attribute you like about your church. for instance, in Daystar church time management is excellent.

Tell us your conversion story, how did you become born again ?
-Was it personal decision?.
-you were evangelized?
- was it because of a miracle you experienced?

His story above stated he is late for three month

FILEBE:
Sorry o but no be talk be wetin I bold so. At all! E no follow. Irrespective of how many batches he paid it , as long as tenant made full payment before due date, you have nothing against him. How can you use his payment in installment to judge his future? That is vile and very petty .

The OP didn't say he won't be paying. It is after one fails to pay a house rent that you give quit notice .

All these landlords be playing God. For God's sake have compassion as a landlord!! The economic situation is hard!

Getting money to rent a house is not easy abi? So getting money to buy a land and build a house is easy. Common, staying in a house without paying rent is like barbing without paying, how do you want the landlord to survive if that's his only source of money?
Any Tennant who can not pay rent should relocate to his village

greggng:
I am talking from experience...what you read in your book is different from court practice. The moral aspect of this case most come to play . I have accompanied some tenants to ogba magistrate Court...I am impressed how cases of this nature are judged . Infact in one of a tenants last appearance he was ask to take 3 more months despite spending 6minths ...Thevreadon for evicting this tenant us laughable cos nobody digs money from ground ...getting a house involved alot ...you need to raise money raise agency fee raise agreement fee and damages...is nit easy ...I am not encouraging him.to make trouble but if he can't raise money b4 the expiration of the notice ...then the landlord had to approach the court to evict him after due process ...he cannot be evicted by force ..I don't need to tell you who I am but I have helped some people on issues if this nature ......

For people like you who like to use the law to destroy people's investment.
The landlord built that house to generate revenue but bad tenant who want to live above their means will always want to scatter the landlord's plan.
It will take up to 15-20 years before he can recover the money he use in building that house talk more of profits.
E.G you are paying 500,000, multiply it by 20 years, that will give you 10,000,000.
With the current Chicago situation in Nigeria you can not buy land in Lagos with that money talk more of building on it, now somebody built his house and you are paying rent like daily contribution, please pity the land too
#one reason I don't like building houses for rent.

The reigning NPFL kings have beaten top European teams to the signature of the talented youngster

Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions Enyimba have secured the signing of rising star Daniel Daga on a season-long loan deal, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 16-year-old midfielder, who made waves with his performances for the Flying Eagles, completed his move from Nigeria National League outfit FC One Rocket.

Daga’s emergence onto the football scene gained momentum during the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina, where he stood out as one of Nigeria’s top talents.

He earned recognition as the youngest player to be selected for Nigeria’s U20 squad, a testament to his promising abilities, Throughout the tournament, he consistently showcased his talent by starting in every game until Nigeria’s disappointing exit in the quarterfinals at the hands of South Korea.

Daga after that garnered significant attention from prominent European clubs, including AC Milan, Liverpool, Anderlecht, Watford, Club Brugge, and Midtjylland in Denmark.

However, a crucial stipulation has prevented him from joining any foreign club until he reaches the age of 18.

Consequently, Enyimba moved swiftly to secure his signature, fending off competition from other interested parties.

Highly ambitious, Daga has set his sights on playing for the biggest clubs in the world, top of which is Real Madrid.
Daga’s agreement with Enyimba is structured as a year-long loan deal, with the potential for a permanent transfer if all parties involved express interest.

Last season, the midfielder had a loan spell with Dakkada FC, although he struggled to make an impact due to injury and international commitments.

Enyimba are poised to participate in the upcoming inaugural African Football League, and the two-time CAF Champions League winners now boast the addition of one of Nigeria’s most exciting talents to their roster.

"I am a Nigerian student living in Scotland, A Nigerian Christian guy got in touch with me via WhatsApp and asked for a relationship, saying he got my number off a church whatsapp group that I haven't been to for almost a year now. He said he's prayed about me and God has told him we are good to go. He is a student too.
I was single at the time and haven't been with a Christian brother before, so I decided to give it a chance. It's roughly 2 months and I am at the point where I want to quit.

We got talking on the platform and also through calls, about a week into our relationship/talking stage he asked me to come to his place and cook for him so he can have enough food for the coming week. I was surprised because we hadn't even seen each other at that at time. I told him I cannot, he made a big deal out of it and said stuff like it's not a big deal for me to do that as his wife to be. We got over that and arranged to see for the first time, he suggested my house and I said I don't feel comfortable with either of us seeing for the first time in our houses and we finally concluded on a Bugger King outlet which isn't far from my house. This didn't go well with him tho.

We met for the first time and talked, after that he said he wanted to know my place as it isn't far from Burger King. He came to my place and stayed in my bed till around past 10pm, he tried touching and kissing, I told him I wasn't comfortable and he needed to leave because of time. He got annoyed said his intentions was to stay over at my place, he already told his housemate he isn't coming back home and it's so late now to go back. I told him I cannot allow him sleep at my house for the first time we're meeting, I have a small single bed and you intentionally didn't even say you'd sleep over before. He grudgingly left and dropped 3 packs of youghurt and a bag of unfried chips which I later discovered where all expired at the time he dropped them.

I told him about it and he made a mess out of the situation. He attends a pentecostal church and critisizes other churches, he doesn't really believe in adult taking responsibility for their actions as the devil is most likely responsible for everything, we simply have to pray against the devil.
He's asked for sex multiple times in less than 1 month, I stopped talking to him one time for about 2 weeks and we picked up again. He said he doesn't have to penetrate, we can do every other things to satisfy our flesh. He said doing all that with him is the proof of my love for him which I have strongly disagreed. Sex isn't a prove of love, we are adults and can have protected sex with anyone without loving them.
The only single thing I enjoy about him is that we communicate well, he talks a lot too and that makes our communication half argument, he finds fault in any little thing and blows it out of proportion. I have told him I don't have strength for argument in marriage since we won't be arguing over minute things that get him pissed off now.

Both of us have been getting multiple 12 hours night shifts from work and two nights ago, he asked me what he was going to eat when he gets home the following morning, I knew he was up to something. I told him I can't say, we don't live together and I don't know what you currently have at home. I suggested he buys bread on his way back home. He then asked me to cook for him to eat the following morning, I sincerely let him know I have no soup or stew myself. His response changed and he later called me on same subject, citing how I don't care enough about him to be concerned about how he is gonna eat since he's been working few nights now, he compared himself to a married man that always brings food to work at his workplace. Even gave the guy his phone to talk to me, that one too said I should do things in my power to make my man happy.

I tried to make him understand he isn't married and it might be difficult to enjoy what his married frnd is enjoying. Youve never bought me foodstuff, you haven't worked before and sent me 50 pounds or less for groceries, we are both working night shifts and I sort my own food, why are you angry I can't make out time out of my rest period to come cook at your house to stuck your fridge?

I have been in relationship where I cooked, I personally enjoy cooking, but I have never been with a man that feels to entitled to me doing that for him. He says I'm supposed to be the one cooking for him. He also believes in women abroad sharing bills, but he is too traditional to share house chores"
