While cocoa originated in Central America over 5000 years ago, it's popularity and production has spread globally. We look at the nations that lead the world in cocoa production.
No 10: When it comes to chocolate done ethically, the Dominican Republic has taken a global lead in two ways. One, the government works to ensure its cocoa production is done in an environmentally sustainable manner. Additionally, until 2009, the Dominican Republic led the world in “Fairtrade-certified” cocoa production, and it still remains a world leader in this front. Fairtrade products are those that have been vetted by global trade organizations to ensure that farmers receive adequate compensation for their crops.
The Dominican Republic has historically been known for two different types of cocoa: a buttery, cheaper product known as Sanchez and a drier, better-fermented bean called Hispaniola. Combined, the country produced a total of 68,021 tonnes of the beans in 2013.

9-Peru In Peru, growing capacity for cocoa has been limited by fierce competition over agricultural land. Another, similarly spelled plant, coca, from which cocaine is produced, grows well in similar climates and fetches a much higher price, forcing cocoa farmers out of business.
In fact, in recent years, Peru has become the
world’s largest producer of cocaine. Over 60,000 hectares of land are in use for coca, resulting in the production of about 340 tons of cocaine. In comparison, the cacao tree inhabits just 48,000 hectares of Peruvian land, with a total cocoa output of 71,175 tonnes of cocoa beans.
8 - Mexico. Chocolate giants Hershey and Ferrero recently invested heavily in facilities for cocoa production in Mexico, but despite deep investments, Mexican cocoa production has actually fallen about 50 percent since the early 2000s. In fact, Mexico has to import more cocoa than it exports.
One major reason for Mexico’s cocoa decline is disease. Frosty pod rot has devastated the Mexican cocoa crop in the past. There are signs of hope, however – new hybrid plants are proving resistant to the disease, and last year Mexico produced over 82,000 metric tons of cocoa beans, according to the FAO.

7- Ecuador Ecuador’s cocoa industry is one of the world’s oldest: in the Ecuadorian Amazon, archaeologists recently discovered traces of cocoa in pottery more than 5,000 years old. This long history is honoured today, with the nation’s total output weighing in at 128,446 tonnes.
Ecuador’s production of cocoa cannot match the global cocoa superpowers in West Africa in terms of gross output, but many chocolate connoisseurs feel Ecuador is tops in terms of quality. While many multinational companies turn to Africa for the base of their processed chocolate treats, smaller artisan chocolatiers look to Ecuadorian cocoa to provide the complex tastes they crave.

6- Brazil. The world definitely wants more cocoa than it can produce. Nowhere is this more evident than
Brazil , a country whose cocoa production has dipped consistently in the last few years. In fact, Brazil has been a net importer of cocoa – meaning Brazilians eat more cocoa than they sell – since 1998.
And that’s not likely to change any time soon: the Brazilian government forecasts that Brazilian cocoa production will drop another 15.7% between now and 2024. Still, Brazil remains the largest cocoa producer in the Americas, harvesting 256,186 metric tons of cocoa beans in 2013.

5- Cameroon From Chocolate’s home in South America, the list now travels across the Atlantic Ocean to Africa, where all but one of the world’s top five cocoa producing countries are located. In terms of total mass, West Africa produces more cocoa than any other world region.
Cameroon has historically been one of the world’s largest producers of cocoa, growing 275,000 metric tons in 2013. Despite this fact, the cocoa business in Cameroon is under threat. Poor management of the cocoa crop has led to a dire situation: many of Cameroon’s cocoa trees have aged past the age of prime production. Without newer trees or enough space to plant then, Cameroon’s cocoa farmers are looking to face an uphill battle.

4 - Nigeria. Nigeria, on the other hand, planned to increase cocoa production from 367,000 to 421,300 tonnes in 2013-14. Rising global prices, demand, and the increased availability of cutting-edge agricultural technology have fueled significant growth in Nigeria’s cocoa industry.
These positive indicators are not to say Nigeria’s cocoa industry is devoid of trouble. Oxfam has identified a severe lack of gender equality on the cocoa farms in Nigeria. They say that women and men who perform the same roles in the cocoa-harvesting process are often paid unequally.
3 - Indonesia. Indonesia grew almost no cocoa before the early 1980s, when production took off like a rocket. Now it is the world’s third leading producer of cocoa beans, growing 777,500 tonnes in 2013, according to the FAO.
One main concern for the Indonesian cocoa crop is the pod borer insect, which has damaged the industry’s growth recently. Until the early 2000s, Indonesia’s cocoa industry had been on a straight upward track, but it has since leveled out. Like
Ghana and the Ivory Coast , most of Indonesia’s cocoa crop comes from smallholder farms, which the Overseas Development Institute claims is a much more efficient method than large corporate farms.

2 - Ghana. In Ghana, cocoa is king, with the production accounting for just under a sixth of the country’s GDP. Over three quarters of the country’s farmers define themselves as smallholder farmers, meaning the cocoa farm is owned and maintained by farmers who live on the property. Despite the lack of corporate control—or maybe because of it elsewhere —high operational costs are taking their toll on the Ghanaian cocoa industry.
Some cocoa farmers from Ghana have taken to
smuggling their cocoa to the Ivory Coast, where cocoa is selling for almost 50 percent more. With 835,466 tonnes grown in the West African nation, that’s a lot of smuggling to be done.

1 - Ivory coast. The Ivory Coast supplies 30 percent of the world’s total cocoa, leading the rest of the world by over half a million metric tons with a total crop of 1,448,992 tonnes. Companies like Nestle and Cadbury receive much of their cocoa from the Ivory Coast and Cocoa alone is responsible for almost two-thirds of the trade revenue coming into the nation.
Recently, serious concerns have been raised about cocoa production here. Child laborers, some of whom are subjected to 100-hour-long workweeks and physical abuse, have been discovered on many of the farms responsible for the nation’s gargantuan output. In addition to the harsh working conditions, child laborers on the Ivory Coast often do not receive any education whatsoever.
An Ivory Coast cocoa farmer made headlines last year when he was featured trying a chocolate bar in a video which went viral. Despite farming cocoa for his entire life, he had never tasted chocolate.

Protein is required for proper muscle elasticity and plays a vital role in building strength -- hours of exercising won't build muscle without adequate protein. For most people, getting enough protein in the diet is not a problem. Eat your proteins at the ideal times to supply your body with this vital nutrient when it needs it most.
Early Morning
While you sleep, your body uses up most of the nutrients from the last meal you ate. When this energy store is depleted, you lack the protein to facilitate muscle and tissue repair. Eating a helping of easily digested protein when you wake quickly replenishes these stores. Whey protein digests fast and is ideal for early morning energy. Milk, ricotta cheese and yogurt are good sources of whey protein. For something convenient, opt for a whey protein drink. Egg protein is also ideal for morning replenishment.
Post-workout
Exercising creates small tears in your muscles -- these require protein to repair properly. The best time to eat protein is within 30 minutes following a workout. This immediate supply helps your muscles heal and become stronger. The fast-digesting nature of whey protein provides your muscles with the quick boost they need. However, your muscles’ protein needs remain heightened for an extended period. A serving of casein protein, which coagulates in your stomach and digests slowly, is perfect for this. Cottage cheese is an excellent source of casein protein, as is most other cheese and milk. If you prefer a simple source, make a drink from casein protein powder.
Between Meals
Eating a little protein between meals keeps a steady supply to your muscles. Casein is best for a continuous source of protein. Apart from feeding your muscles properly, between-meal protein keeps you full and helps prevent unhealthy snacking. Have a small helping of cheese, milk or a casein protein drink to hold you over until the next meal.
Before Bed
A helping of casein protein directly before bed feeds your body as you sleep. The casein feeds your muscles and prevents your stomach from becoming empty early in the night.

When you think of the times that you feel the most relaxed and happy , the blissed - out buzz you get after an orgasm ranks right up there with a deep tissue massage . But what you choose to do while buzzed impacts your vagina .
“ When the vaginal tissues have been lubricated, swollen, and rubbed against during intercourse, it changes how that tissue reacts to the environment .
Primarily , you run a much greater risk of infection, ” says Kansas - based gynaecologist , Dr . Leslie Page
Here , we break down the stuff you should never , ever do after sex if you want to keep your vagina happy .
Don ’t forget to pee
During sex , bacteria can get pushed into your bladder . “ This can result in post- intercourse bladder infections , ” says an obstetrics gynaecologist , Dr . Robert Wool, M . D.
“ You can have some snuggle time, just empty your bladder within one hour of having sex . ”
Then , wipe from front to back to avoid spreading fecal matter from your anus to the vagina.
“ Due to swelling and micro - abrasions that can occur during sexual intercourse, your vulva and vaginal skin are particularly tender and prone to infection, ” says Page .
Don ’t use soap to wash your vagina
Some women might feel the urge to wash the vagina with soap after sex , but that ’ s really unnecessary . Not only might you have an allergic reaction if your post- sex skin reacts differently to the harsh chemicals in cleansers , but “ using soap can lead to vaginal irritation and dryness , ” Wool says .
“ The vagina is a self - cleaning organ , and needs to be treated very, very gently — if you wouldn ’ t put it in your mouth , you shouldn ’ t put it in or around your vagina, ” Page says . If you want to take a post - sex shower , use plain water to rinse off.
Don ’t sleep in your nylon underwear
Cotton lingerie is okay because it’ s breathable , but nylon , rayon , or polyester undies are a no - no .
“ After sex , your skin tends to be warm and damp , thanks to perspiration , vaginal secretions , and semen , ” Page says .
“ As such , synthetic underwear traps the moisture and you run the risk of a yeast infection, ” Wool says . “The vagina likes to breathe . ” So , go nude or stick to cotton pants after sex .
Don ’t swim in a hot bath tub
Getting your bubbles on sounds like the perfect after - sex activity , but it’ s bad news.
“ When your vulva swells in response to sexual stimulation, it reveals the opening of the vagina , which means you have a greater chance of infection, ” Page says .
If you ’ re in a hot tub with your partner , that means you ’ re exposed to the bacteria on his skin and anus . Also , extensive water exposure reduces the efficiency of your skin ’ s antimicrobial barrier , she says .
Don ’t use flushable wet wipes
If you ’ re sensitive to chemicals like alcohol , glycerin , scents , and certain oils , using a flushable wet wipe after sex can cause irritation , since you ’ re more susceptible to skin issues after sex , says Page .
The signs include redness , swelling , itching , and tenderness .
If you ’ re set on cleaning up with something other than toilet paper , try doing your own wipe with warm water and vinegar, says Page .
Mix one teaspoon of vinegar with a quart of water , pour some on to a wash cloth and wipe your vulva over the toilet , and then pat dry , she says .
“ The vinegar is mildly cleansing and helps maintain the skin ’ s natural acidity , ” says Page .
The bottom line : You have only one vagina, treat it gently .

No you can't, I will advise u to check the brochure anyway

OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUSTS, PART 1

Dear Youths and all those who are entangled in the evil web of sexual lusts,
please follow up with this thread, we are presenting a series of in-depth biblical and practical teachings on Youthful Sexual lust to help the youths overcome sexual lusts in their preparation for Christ's return. Please, read with open heart and prayerfully.

Working Scripture: Genesis 3:6
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

INTRODUCTION
One day, I asked the youths if they knew the meaning of ‘lust’. Everybody answered with a ‘yes’. Then I asked whoever that had lusted after anyone to raise up his or her hand. Only a few raised their hands. I, also, raised my hand. The others that did not raise their hands were laughing at us who raised our hands. I asked them why they didn’t raise their hands but they could not answer but kept on laughing. I concluded they either did not know the meaning of lust or were just pretending.

Let’s face it. Almost everyone who is old enough to understand the meaning of ‘lust’ has lusted after one person or the other, at least once. This teaching will help you to understand the meaning of lust both biblical and practically, determine if you are in lust and what to do to overcome it.


WHAT IS LUST?
Lust can simply be defined as desiring, craving, longing to have or doing what is ungodly in preference to that which comes from God. Anybody can lust after anything. There could be lust after food like children of Israel did in the wilderness, lust after music, lust after clothe or lust after anything once it is ungodly. But since we are dealing with youthful sexual lust, I will paraphrase lust to be desiring, craving, longing to have or doing an ungodly sexual act especially by the Youths.


[u[FIVE STAGES OF LUSTS[/u]
I was made to understand that the fall of Adam by Satan through Eve was due to Eve’s undergoing the complete stages of Lust after the forbidden fruit. Let us look at our working scripture.

From the underlined in our working scripture, we can see the processes or stages that Eve went through:

1. She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. {pleasant to the eye).
2. Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).
3. In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.
4. She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)
5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

These five stages that Lot went through led sequentially one to another. Each stage is lust on its own and is sinful. Let us look at these five stages in practical ways at they affect youths.


FIRST STAGE OF LUST (THE CONTACT STAGE)
Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.
L -LOOKING
U -UNCONTROLABLY at
S -SEXUAL
T -TARGETS

This is the stage where a youth gets in contact with his/her sexual target. The primary agent here is the eyes. The eyes of a youth come in contact with his/her sexual targets and lose control. The target may be a chorister singing worship, the pointed nose of a female/male, the eyelid of a female, the moustache of a male, the uncovered straight legs of a female/male, the muscular frame of a man or any sensuous part of a female/male. Some youths even lusts after unclad mannequins in boutiques. Other lustful sexual targets include pornographic images and videos on magazines, Facebook, Whatzapp, Nairaland, YouTube and so on. Once, I saw a video on the internet of a man that saw a statue of an unclothe female. He was so much lost in lust that he went to hug the statue and began to caress it. Lust can be so burning. Burn it before it burns you.

Once, you are lost in control of looking at any ‘sensuous’ part of an opposite sex, and the image feel pleasant to your sight, then you are engrossed in what the scripture calls ‘the lust of the eyes’.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The lust of the eyes is a sin and not of God. This was the first thing that happened to Eve in the garden. She started looking uncontrollably at the forbidden fruit and it was pleasant to her eyes. For Eve, Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.

L -LOOKING
U -UNCONTROLABLY at
S -SINFUL
T -TARGET

In this case, the sinful target that Eve could not take her eyes away from was the forbidden fruit.

The first stage of lust which we refer to as the contact stage if not dealt with quickly will lead a man/woman to the second stage which has to do with the heart. This we shall look at in the second part of this teaching.


PRAYERS
1. Lord, Jesus Christ, set the fire of Holy Ghost in my eyes and burn off all the spirit of lust working inside them.

2. Cast out the lust out of my eyes by the finger of God.

3. Do not allow me to fall to lust like Adam and Eve

4. Destroy every trap of seduction on my way by the fire of God.

5. My eyes will not send me to hell fire in Jesus’ name.

God bless u for this, can u pls add me with this no or contact me, we need to discuss 08039498560

Mailthaddeus:
If u like boil water for 100days, it's temperature won't exceed 100celcius. And no bacteria or virus can survive that temperature. Including human and animals.

research has shown that there are some bacteria that can thrive at a temperature of 60°c upward

This has come up a few times in a few other questions, but I've heard varying opinions from different people in a number of answers and comments- some saying that just boiling for a moment is enough, others saying that to be sure you should boil for around 10 minutes, and others saying it doesn't matter how long you boil for because some bacteria can survive it with no problem.
So in short, how long should you boil water you've collected for to ensure it's safe to drink? (I'm discounting filtering like metals which boiling won't remove.) It'd be good if answers could be referenced / backed up since people do seem to have different ideas on the subject!

The University of Jos (UNIJOS) has suspended one of its academic staff who was allegedly caught cheating while writing an examination on May 4.
Benedicta Daudu, an associate professor of law and former head of the Department of Jurisprudence and International Law of the Faculty of Law in UNIJOS, was allegedly caught copying from a prepared answer during an examination for a Master’s degree in Research and Public Policy in the Faculty of Social Sciences of the same university.
After the report, Mrs. Daudu’s membership of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption was immediately suspended.
Insiders at UNIJOS have now told newsmen that the lecturer has been suspended from work, and from the masters programme.
“I can confirm to you that the Senate Disciplinary Committee found her guilty of the allegations, and has suspended her from the Masters programme for two semesters,” an official of the university told this newspaper.
“Also, the matter was referred to the Staff Disciplinary Committee which also suspended her from work. So she is no longer teaching.”
Another official of the university said the professor sued the institution over her suspension.
The status of the court case remained unclear as at the time of publishing this report on Monday.
All UNIJOS officials who spoke to newsmen on the matter asked not be named for fear they might be accused of plotting the professor’s downfall.
Even the spokesperson for the university, Abdullahi Abdullahi, simply said, “Please, please, I have no comment on this matter.”
When contacted by telephone on Monday, Mrs. Daudu, the affected professor said, “Please excuse me, please, please” after our reporter asked her for updates on her examination malpractice case.
Asked when the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) would allow the professor back to her post, Executive Secretary, Bolaji Owasanoye, said, “Until matter is resolved, she remains away from PACAC.”
The committee, headed by prominent law professor and civil rights campaigner, Itse Sagay, and made up of mainly university professors, is the intellectual wing of Mr Buhari’s anti-corruption war.
The mandate of the committee includes advising the President on the implementation of required reforms in Nigeria’s anti-corruption campaign and criminal justice system.
Although she has a Masters in Law, the associate professor was working towards another masters in Research and Public Policy.
It was learnt that the department later accused her of sneaking in prepared answers, also referred to as “chokes” by students, during the examination for the Global Context in Public policy course

A Law graduate of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Miss Faith Falade Olayinka, has bagged a First Class in the 2015/2016 Bar Part II final examination of the Nigerian Law School (NLS).
The news of her feat excited members of the Law faculty which graduates did well in previous Bar exams.
Last year, Opeyemi Akeem Longe and Ebunoluwa Bamigboye, finished with a First Class at the Law School. They were hosted by the university for making the school proud. Akeem, who also finished with a First Class in his Bachelor of Law (LLB) programme, had the overall best result at the Law School.
According to a memo to the Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Igbekele Ajibefun, by the Dean of Law, Prof E.A. Taiwo, many students from the faculty performed well in the last Bar Part II final exams.
The memo quoted Prof Taiwo as saying: “Quite a number of our students finished with very good grades but Miss Falade Faith Olayinka’s performance was outstanding as she finished with a First Class Honour.
“Miss Falade graduated in her Bachelor of Law (LL.B) degree from the university during the 2014/2015 academic session with Second Class (Upper Division). She was the third best graduating student in her set with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.34. Her performance has made the faculty and the university proud.”
Meanwhile, the university has extended this year’s Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) undertaken by its students for five weeks.
SIWES Director Dr Olanrewaju Olotuah, said the internship, which would have ended on November 7, has been extended to December 12 because of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
During the period, the school supervisors could not visit the students on industrial training to assess their activities. This prompted the management to extend the programme for five weeks to allow a thorough supervision of the student-trainees.
Dr Olotuah said: “The completion date for the internship has been shifted from November 7 to December 12, 2016, which adds up the duration of the programme to 24 weeks altogether. The decision was made to give room for proper supervision of our students undertaking their internship.”
He advised the students to be committed to their training, saying supervisors could visit them without a prior notice.

Many assume Donald J. Trump can not win the US presidential election this November because he is widely viewed as weird for someone aspiring to lead the free world. But often lost in the debate is that America is not new to radical politicians who have found their way to the White House. With the exception of George H. W. Bush in 1988, all the candidates who have assumed the presidency—from 1980 to date—exhibited a good measure of unorthodox tendencies. Simply put, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barrack Obama did not win because of mere experience, moral purity, pristine backgrounds or political correctness. They won because of a combination of charisma and how they were able to tap into the pop culture to greater advantage. Reagan, for instance, was a womanizing movie star, who became the only US President to have been divorced. Dismissed in 1980 as a wacky warmonger, Reagan ended capturing the mantle from a man of urbane character in President Jimmy Carter. That was a similar story with Bill Clinton who prevailed despite a background that evinces weed-smoking, philandering, and draft- dodging. By the time he shocked the political culture by playing the saxophone at Arsenio Hall show in 1992, Clinton was viewed so unpresidential that his opponent, an incumbent President George H. W. Bush, had to dub the democratic nominee a “bozo”. A bozo means a stupid person, a clown, buffoon, nincompoop—the type of nouns commonly equated to Donald Trump today. The case of the junior Bush, George W is something else. He was once an alcoholic and generally perceived as having an IQ of bovine nature. But that did not stop Americans from choosing him over a policy wonk and a sitting Vice-President Al Gore. Following Bush is Barrack H. Obama whose background was as queer as it gets. Not only was he of thin political résumé and admitted past use of cocaine and marijuana, the first black president is not the typical black. He was born of a Kenyan father from black Africa. Even more bizarro is his Muslim name: Hussein— namesake to a notorious Iraqi leader toppled by the United States after 9/11. Yet, Obama easily trounced a statesman war hero in John McCain. Enter Donald Trump, a xenophobic, race-baiting, street-talking, cavalier, incoherent, unapologetic but charismatic celebrity, who draws huge crowds by parading fantasy as fact. Without any doubt, Trump appears to pose a bigger threat today than any of the candidates mentioned above. But, in hindsight, it is naïve to assume that the radical style will not continue to gain currency moving forward. The American media have a way of elevating eccentric behaviors to pop culture. Moreover, conventional themes do not seem to resonate in the current electoral cycle strikingly driven by demagoguery on both sides of the political space. On the left is Bernie Sanders, a care-free 74 year- old self-proclaimed socialist, who has captured 45% of the Democratic Party with the bogus promise of free tuition and $15 minimum wage. On the right, of course, is Mr. Trump. Tapping into a visceral anger provoked by 9/11 as well as decades of job flights, the real estate mogul hoodwinks his followers with a pledge of banning Muslims from entering the United States, erecting a wall between the country and Mexico, and deporting 11 million illegal aliens. Having conquered the Republican Party, the entire American electorate is his next target. And he can. The scheme has begun with Trump already pivoting to a gullible bloc of the Democratic Party beholden to socialist agenda of soon-to-be gone Bernie Sanders. So far, Trump has embraced the wage increase and won’t surprise many if he also grabs Bernie’s free tuition gambit. For this Republican presumptive nominee is not a true conservative. Mr. Trump has no core beliefs and is set to say anything to get elected. After all, the man has declared that he will begin to exhibit presidential decorum only after he might have packed into the White House. What is more, the Republican establishment has eaten its words “bigly”, flip-flopping, and gradually coalescing behind its unrepentant flag bearer. Most significantly, it is no longer news that the almighty media have gone gung-ho with the Trump mania, which is understandable because of the entertainment value. It is also true that many tune in to Trump because of his tendency to spew laughable rhetoric in a flash. Even a hardcore conservative, like me, is equally guilty of the craze. The unfortunate reality is that the unprecedented media obsession is inadvertently stoking the 2016 presidential race as Trump VS Trump—as if he is the lone option. Not surprisingly, his well-crafted campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again”, and some humane aspects of the manifesto are beginning to register with the masses. Of course, Donald Trump is not the only candidate in the race. The alternative is the obvious Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Though she is by far more rational, experienced, cool, and collected, Madam Secretary might have grown too presidential to have become a bore. The Americans do not care for dull moments. They want action, however feigned.

Have you ever wondered how Aliko Dangote emerged the richest black man in the world? Have you ever wondered how the richest people in Nigeria became rich? Have you ever tried to find out the exact success secret of Nigeria’s billionaire entrepreneurs ? Well, this article is going to put all your answers to rest. In this article, I am going to spill the untold success secrets of the richest people in Nigeria and how they became billionaires. If you are prepared to replicate these success secrets, then below are the untold success secrets of the richest people in Nigeria. 1. They are Strong Willed The richest people in Nigeria are strong willed in spirit. They are dogged and persistent. To these set of individuals, success is not an option; it’s a must. These successful Nigerian entrepreneurs refuse to be held down by their circumstance; instead, they reached out for their inner strength and went for success. Above all, these entrepreneurs don’t take no for an answer; they simply refuse to give up and that was why they succeed. “ When Raymond Dokpesi was on the verge of losing A.I.T; he refused to give up. Mike Adenuga had his telecom license revoked twice and lost over 20million dollars but he refused to give up. Orji Uzor Kalu had his oil bloc license and his aviation license revoked; his airline business was grounded and the business accounts of his publishing firm (The Sun) was frozen, yet he refused to give up. Chief Cletus Ibeto’s cement company was shut down by the government but he persisted and refused to give up. So if you are ever going to have your name listed as one of the richest people in Nigeria; then you must be prepared to stick it through to the end. You must never give up. 2. They thoroughly understand their line of business Take a close look at the Nigerian billionaires listed above and you will see the names of entrepreneurs that thoroughly understand their line of business like the palm of their hands. They know the in-depth intricacies of the various businesses they are involved in. Cosmos Maduka, the billionaire founder of Coscharis group even liken himself to a first class degree holder from the University of Automobile Spare Parts. Look ate what Chukwuma Innocent is doing with his automobile manufacturing plant ( Innoson Vehicles ). This goes a long way to prove to you that knowing your line of business is essential to success not only in business but life in general. 3. They are focused The richest people in Nigeria are focused; they chose a specific business of their strength and stuck to it. If you are ever going to make it in Nigeria, then you must obey the first law of business success of Andrew Carnegie; the steel mogul. “And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret. Concentrate your energy, thoughts and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged in. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line; to lead in it. Adopt every improvement, have the best machinery and know the most about it.” – Andrew Carnegie If you think this statement is a mere fad, then think again because it’s the truth in its entirety. Aliko Dangote focused on commodities and basic needs while Femi Otedola concentrated on oil and gas. Jim Ovia focused on banking. Cosmos Maduka and Ade Ojo focused on automobiles; Fola Adeola focused on banking, Leo Stan Ekeh concentrated on computers and Raymond Dokpesi focused on broadcasting and entertainment. This should tell you that concentration is a key factor to succeeding in business. 4. They have a strong business mission and vision The Nigerian billionaires have a strong business mission and vision; and these two factors propel them to greatness. Take away their business mission and they are no more; this is because their entrepreneurial spirit is in the mission of their businesses. Take for instance: Aliko Dangote, he is on a mission to provide the basic needs of over 150 million Nigerians; Femi Otedola is out to provide Oil and gas at a uniform price with faster delivery. Fola Adeola is on a mission to provide innovative banking services to Nigerians; Leo Stan Ekeh wants to put a computer in every home and Raymond Dokpesi is out to give Nigerians uncompromised news and information on happenings. A strong business mission and vision is the reason these men emerged successful. 5. They are excellent networkers The richest people in Nigeria became rich because they are good networkers. They network among themselves and even patronize each other’s services; and when a big deal is on board, t hey pool their resources together, form a consortium, execute the deal and split the profits. This is why they emerged the richest people in Nigeria. 6.They are Competitive The Nigerians billionaires listed above are very good at networking with each other; yet, they still compete against each other when the need arises. You can see an example of this when Aliko Dangote used MRS Group to compete against Femi Otedola for the shares of Chevron Nigeria . The richest people in Nigeria know that nothing comes easy and life is not fair; so they fight with all they’ve got to stay in business. Competitiveness and the ability to stay afloat are essential to survival in business. 7. They think big One attribute I love about Nigerian billionaire entrepreneurs is that they are big thinkers. They think big and love to do big things. Despite the fact that they started small; they dreamed big. Aliko Dangote is the largest cement manufacturer in Africa and also wants to build the biggest refinery in West Africa, Femi Otedola is the largest diesel importer in Nigeria; Ifeanyi Uba’s Capital Oil and Gas is the largest importer and distributor of Kerosene. Jimoh Ibrahim runs Nicon ( the biggest insurance company in Nigeria ), and Raymond Dokpesi owns the first indigenous cable network television in Nigeria. So if you are going to leave a legacy in life, then you must think big and act big. 8. They are flexible Flexibility is one of the strengths of the richest people in Nigeria. They understand the terrain very well; they know that the government is the most inconsistent body so far, so they prepare themselves forehand. They keep an eye on the ever changing pattern of the government and swiftly adjust their businesses to align with such change. They are also quick to adapt to current situation and trend while their competitors are still grappling with the reality on ground. 9. They are opportunist The richest people in Nigeria are opportunists; they know how to take advantage of situations. Where others see problems, these set of individuals see opportunities and start a business around such opportunity. While other Nigerians shy away from adversity; these men embrace adversity because they know that behind every adversity is opportunity. “Behind every adversity is an opportunity. If you lament over the adversity, you will miss the opportunity.” – Ajaero Tony Martins They know that wealth lies in their ability to convert problems into opportunities and value; just like the ancient alchemists that tried to turn lead into gold. “A good businessman must have nose for business the same way a journalist has nose for news. Once your eyes, ears, nose, heart and brain are trained on business, you sniff business opportunities everywhere. In places where people see a lot of obstacles, I see a lot of opportunities. At times, there is something instinctive in me that tell me a business opportunity exist even at a place where others see nothing. That is what makes me different, maybe unique. A good businessman sees where others don’t see. What I see, you may not see. You cannot see because that is the secret of the business… the entire world is a big market waiting for anybody who knows the rules of the game.” – Orji Uzor Kalu 10. They have a strong business management team It is often said that behind every successful man is a woman. In this case, I will say that behind every successful entrepreneur is a strong business management team. The presence of a business team is the reason why Nigerian billionaire entrepreneurs and richest people can swiftly take advantage of opportunities; raise capital and run multiple businesses while minding their family affairs. A business team is vital in your transition from a small business to a big business. 11. They love Nigeria Above all the success secrets of the richest people in Nigeria, this is the greatest. Love for Nigeria made the Nigerian billionaire entrepreneurs invest heavily in the country. They have all it takes to move their investment elsewhere but they chose to invest in Nigeria because they believe in Nigeria. This factor is so prevalent that even Aliko Dangote advocated the need for entrepreneurs to firmly believe in Nigeria; instead of going abroad in search of greener pasture. This is to say that if you must strike it rich in your country; then you must believe in your country. As a final note, these are the eleven secrets that are responsible for the success of the richest people in Nigeria. If you want to join this list of Nigerian billionaires; if you want to imprint your name on the sands of time, then replicate these strategies and I will see you at the top.

Are you an IMSU aspirant seeking for information on when the IMSU cut off marks
will be out? Are you just worried and anxious to know if you can be admitted into
IMSU or not? Let not your heart be trouble, I will provide you with answer to all
the questions running through your mind, proffer solution to all your problems and
give you the very best information on what you must do to gain admission into
Imo State University this academic session. So take time to read this article word
to word, sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph from the beginning to
the end. Firstly, IMSU cut off mark for this year is 180. Most of you always ask me
the same question which is “WHAT MUST I DO TO GAIN ADMISSION?” it is very
simple to gain admission into any University as far as I am concern. All what you
need to know is how to enlist your name even when it seem you are not qualified.
WHAT MUST I DO TO GAIN ADMISSION INTO IMO STATE UNIVERSITY?
For you to gain admission into Imo State University this year there are some pre-
requisite you have to put in place apart from
participating in the post-UTME, But before then let me cease this opportunity to
introduce myself. I am Mr. Gerald Ogum. I specialize in helping IMSU aspirants
secure admission and I assure you that your admission into Imo State University
this year is 100% guaranteed. WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER CHECKING MY POST-
UTME RESULT? That is a very good question. At this point your post-UTME result
determines your next line of action. Don’t make the mistake of folding your arms
and watch to see if there will be a miracle from above after checking your result.
Last year a whole lot of Aspirants were not admitted into the University because
they did not apply the right principles and techniques required to gain admission.
They check their result and they taught they have arrived because they score high
in the Post-UTME. Sometimes your result does not necessarily mean you will be
admitted into the school. There are some other things you need to put in place for
your name to be in
the admission list. If you could remember vividly, a whole lot of people also
participated in the IMSU post-UTME, as a matter of fact
thousands of aspirants wants their name in the admission list of the department
you apply for. You may be wondering why I say
thousands because you wrote the IMSU Post-UTME with hundreds of other
aspirants not thousands. For your information, as soon
as the result is out 90% of all the IMSU aspirants already know that they have
failed and are begging to be given admission in any
other department including your department. So the struggle of gaining admission
to study your course is longer a race for hundreds,
it is now a race of thousands. At this point we are at the second phase of the
screening where the school decides who is to be
admitted and who is not to be admitted. For your information, if you believe you
will be admitted because you score high in the IMSU
post-UTME and you are not doing anything in respect to that then you are doing
yourself a whole lot of harm than good. BELOW ARE
SOME OF THE MISTAKES MOST OF YOU MAKE. 1. WAITING FOR DEPARTMENTAL
CUT OFF MARK: Most times you make the mistake
of waiting for departmental cut off mark before you source for help from me, and
this was exactly what affected a whole lot of
aspirants last year. When IMSU Post-UTME result was released last year most of
the aspirants that scored up to 200 and above
were waiting for the departmental cut off mark to know if their name will be in the
admission list or not. Two weeks after the release
of the result they were still waiting, a month after still waiting, two months after
they were yet waiting. Before they knew what was
happening IMSU was through with admission for the year and there was nothing
anybody can do to help the situation. It is normal
for the school to announce the departmental cut off mark after the release of Post-
UTME result, but that is not a criteria for selection
of those that will be admitted into the University. The selection starts exactly the
day the result was released on internet. So stop
thinking nothing is happening until the cut off mark is also released. That
mentality will only add you to the category of those that
will later regret not acting early enough. What I am driving at is that departmental
cut off mark sometimes does not determine who
is to be admitted or not. So what you need do is call me immediately you check
your result so that I can follow up your admission
immediately so that your name will be enlisted in the list that will be submitted for
admission. 2. WAITING FOR 2ND AND 3RD
BATCH ADMISSION LIST: Another silly mistake you people always make is to
believe your name will be out in the 2nd and 3rd batch
admission list. It won’t happen for any reason or whatsoever. Once the first batch
which is the merit list is out, the subsequent list is
pure logistics. When I say LOGISTICS I mean RUNS as you people call it. The
standard for gaining admission does not give room for
categories or levels, it is either you score up to the cut off mark or you are out of
it. So don’t waste your time hoping that someway
somehow your name will be out in the second batch. Someone have to help you
follow up your admission so that your name will be
among the names that will be published in the second and 3rd list. That is how it
works as there are no two ways about it. So if you
are among those that fall into this category it is high time you erase that mentality
from your head and face reality. It is all about
using what you have to get what you want. I hate it when I give some of you
orientation on what and how to go about running your
admission and you later try to prove smart along the line. What I do is dump your
case and forget about you totally. This may be your one and only chance of
gaining admission, so you have to do all you can to make sure you are admitted
this year. If you chose to wait for the next
admission list you might not be able to work it out later. If you really must be
admitted this year it is a must you start running your
admission immediately you have seen your post-ume score.. HOPING ON YOUR
UNCLE OR AUNT WHO IS A LECTURER: I have been working admission for people
for several years now and the category of aspirants that does not always gain
admission are those that either have one Uncle or Aunt as a lecturer or staff of the
school. Sometimes you people think having a family in the school guaranty your
admission. NO! It does not happen that way, the fact that he or she is a lecturer
does not guaranty your admission because you will end up writing JAMB the
following year. The reason is because it is not every lecturer that can help you
gain admission and even those that know how to go
about it still come to me to help them with their candidate. This is what I mean,
once the result is released i start working on all my
candidates to make sure they all gain admission, but your Uncle/ Aunt on the other
hand will be waiting for the supplementary list
when he/she can beg to add a name out of the hundreds of names submitted to
him/her from friends and family members like you to
be included in any of the available space after all other aspirants that are
connected to someone like me have been given admission
in the previous lists. The probability of you gaining admission is zero (0). He/she
will only be given the opportunity to submit just one
name out of the hundreds of names he/she has. One will be chosen and the rest
of you will have to put in for JAMB the following
year. That is why anytime some of you call me and tell me that you have an uncle
in the school running your admission for you, all I
do is ask you to either get a Pre-degree/ JAMB form or a diploma form because I
know you will be disappointed at the end of the
day. The brutal truth is that I cannot run your admission with empty pocket; some
persons will be mobilized before your file can be
moved from one office to the other for approval and certification without which you
won’t be recommended for admission. Some will
say they can’t give anybody mobilization fee to run admission for their children for
any reason. Let me also inform you that
thousands of aspirants out there are willing to do what you are saying no to. It
has become the tradition of schools these days to
give admission to those who have someone mobilizing their admission before
giving admission. The number of aspirants to be
admitted into the school every year is always very few compared to the number of
those seeking admission into the University. As a
result of this it becomes the survival of the fittest, and most often those that are
financially buoyant are the people who always gain
admission. When others discovered the logic behind it, everybody start to apply the
same techniques and that is how it becomes a
normal thing for those in charge of admission to demand for mobilization fee
before giving admission. So don’t start thinking I’m in
need of your money. I only want to help you succeed and that is why I am
unveiling this secretes to you now. Even if you don’t have
all what is expected of you to run your admission don’t stay back as I am willing
to help as many that are very serious and
passionate to be admitted into Imo State University this year and I believe you are
serious and passionate to become a student of
Imo State University. Last year I intercede on behalf of all my candidates that were
not able to raise the token demanded for
mobilization to provide 60% of the amount and redeem the balance after the
admission is given, that is how they were able to secure
admission. At a point I was almost discouraged from helping you this year as a
result of the attitude most of the aspirants I help last
year portrayed after running their admission. I had to start calling them one after
the other to send their balance which got me very
angry. If I can trust you to the extent of helping you with my own money despite
the fact that you don’t have the mobilization fee to
run your admission, and expect you to balance me as agreed and you decide to
play smart with me after gaining admission. You now
expect me to buy airtime and start calling you with the money I am suppose to
use for some other things, then it shows you are so
ungrateful. I want to believe that it won’t happen this time. Let not your heart be
troubled, you should see yourself as a bonafide
student of the almighty Imo State University. Start preparing yourself for school.
Get all the materials you need for school next
academic session. What you should have in mind is that you are now an
undergraduate. Start living in it. When I say you should start
living in it, I mean you should start living and behaving like a student. Start making
plans on how your experience is going to be like
in your first semester in IMSU. If you don’t have all the things you need for school
yet then its time you start getting them one after
the other because there is no how you are connected to me and at the end of the
day you still find yourself at home in the midst of
those that have no future ambition. I am all you need to work your way through
your academic struggle this year. And I guaranty you
that you will be among those that will put on matric gown the next matriculation. I
am the solution to all your heart aches and fears
that wear you down. I am not bragging or feeling pompous, I am just telling you
the assurance and confidence I have. I am the best
and most reliable source to help you gain admission into IMSU. Some of my
friends always say I feel too pompous because I am the
best when it comes to helping students gain admission into Imo State University.
Some even say I carry it on my head too much, all
I do is just look at them and smile because deep inside of me I feel so fulfilled that
I am affecting peoples’ lives positively, I am
giving a lot of lives meaning. I am making what used to be the biggest challenge
in the lives of many a long forgotten issue and
history as the case may be. I secured admission for about one hundred and fifty
aspirants last year. This is your time and this is your season.
The level of attention you pay to every tips and advice you get from me and how
you put them to work will determine whether you
will gain admission into Imo State University this year or not. Mind you I am not
saying everybody must be admitted this year, but
those that are ready and willing to go any length to make sure they are in school
this year will be among the ratio of those that will
smile at the end of this long journey because many are called but few are chosen.

you are not ready to follow up your admission now. Just ignore everything you’ve
read and pretend as if you never come across this
vital information. I am not ready for story tellers. I work for those that know what

National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), has apprehended four suspected drug traffickers, including a Birmingham-based cleaner, with 6.822kg of narcotics worth N61 million. The Birmingham-based cleaner was alleged to have excreted 30 wraps of cocaine weighing 479 grammes. A statement by the agency’s spokesman, Ofoyeju Mitchell, said the seized drugs consisted of 4.193kg of heroin and 2.629kg of cocaine destined for Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia; Birmingham, United Kingdom; Rome, Italy and Mumbai, India. NDLEA commander at the airport, Hamisu Lawan, said those arrested were caught attempting to smuggle the drugs out of the country. He said: “Four suspected drug traffickers have been apprehended with 6.822kg of cocaine and heroin. “The suspects include Umeh Chidiebere Gabriel, 36, going to Birmingham with suspected 479 grammes of cocaine; Ozoike Kelechi John, 34, going to Rome through Addis Ababa with suspected 2.8kg of heroin; Azubuike Francis Okwochukwu, 38, going to Addis Ababa with suspected 1.393kg of heroin and Okoro Godfrey Ogbonna, 42, going to Mumbai with suspected 2.150kg of cocaine. “Umeh Chidiebere Gabriel, who lives in Birmingham, United Kingdom, was arrested at the boarding gate of the airport after testing positive for drug ingestion while trying to board an Air France flight to the United Kingdom through Charles De Gaulle, Paris

Politics! We have both pretenders as well as serious contenders on the list.

Sen. Ajayi Borofice: A one time chairman of National Space Agency, an Akoko technocrat turned politician, however, since his foray to politics, luck has always been by his side. If not Mimiko political wizardry it will be Sai Buhari political tide. In all, I don't see him bringing much development to On do state, more like a typical politician

Olusola Oke: A one time national legal adviser of PDP, gubernatorial candidate of PDP in 2012 election, an orator and a gentleman per excellence. Olusola Oke is not different from Borofice, in fact, Oke is worse being a career politician, he represents the corrupt establishment

Akeredolu SAN: A political vegetable, more like a political lightweight who is so detached from his people. The major factor against him is his perceived closeness to Tinubu, he's a stooge and he never denied that. That said, he's a refined and urbane man full of ideas.

u nailed it bro, this shows you really understand the politics of the state.But i would like you to also express your perception as regards Hon victor olabimtan's ambition.

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a faction of the Board of Trustees have said that the controversial national chairman of the Party, Ali Modu Sheriff will spend only three months in office. Sheriff crying at press conference However, the former ministers of the Party said Mr. Sheriff must go now Arising from a meeting inside Ondo State Governor's Lodge in Abuja, the governors said Mr. Sheriff would spend just three months and organise a national convention. At the meeting was the Acting Chairman of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibril, Mr. Sheriff, several governors, and some members of the National Working Committee of the Party. Some members of the National Assembly such as Senators Ike Ekweremadu and Leo Ogor, were also in attendance. "As you can see, we are just from a meeting. You are all aware of some controversy generated recently because of recent developments in our party. “I am happy to let you know that all the major organs in the party: the Governors Forum, National Working Committee, National Assembly Caucus and the Board of Trustees have agreed to stand by our National Chairman to ensure that our party moves forward.” "We have put behind us all the controversies in the press in recent times. I want to assure you that we are together as a party. "We have also mandated the National Chairman and the National Working Committee to put in motion immediately the processes of ensuring that within three months, a National Convention of our party is called. "And we will brief all our members nationwide within the next two weeks of the timetable in that direction. In the next two weeks, the timetable will be out, all cumulating in our National Convention within three months," Governor of Ondo State and Chairman of the PDP GF, Olusegun Mimiko said. Mr. Jibril agreed with the submission made by Governor Mimiko, stating that the Board was happy with the truce organised by the governors. The former ministers voiced their displeasure with the new position taken by the Board but said that Mr. Jibril did not call the meeting of the Board to review its earlier decision. Former Minister of Special Duties, Taminu Turaki, spoke after the six hours of the forum.

On Tuesday, news came out that the Peoples Democratic Party has chosen former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sherrif as its new national chairman. While some think it is a brilliant move, some others have a lot of reservation against it, saying it may even mean the end of the political party altogether. However, some others are in different. What do you think? Is the choice of Ali Modu Sherriff as the National Chairman of PDP the best move for the party at this time?

If he knows the geology of the northern Nigeria, he will not say such of a thing.There are crude oil basin in the northern Nigeria, only that cost of exploration due to thickness of the formation.

People like professor Zarbosky have done alot of research on northern Nigeria sedimentary basin......

Watermelon, also known as Citrullus lanatus is a
plant species in the family Cucurbitaceae with
smooth green skin, pulp, and watery juice. The
vine-like flowering plant is a nutrient dense food
with contains a high amount of vitamins, minerals
and antioxidants for a low amount of calories.
Here are some facts about watermelon that might
surprise you.
Wild watermelons originated in southern Africa.
There are more than 1200 varieties of watermelon
that come in various weights, shapes, sizes and
colours.
The colours are; Red, orange, yellow and white.
Key commercial varieties of watermelon include
the Carolina Cross, Yellow Crimson, Orangeglo,
Moon & Stars, Cream of Saskatchewan,
Melitopolski, and Densuke.
Farmers in Japan have started growing cube-
shaped watermelons by growing them in glass
boxes where they assume the shape of the box.
Originally this was done to make the melons
easier to stack and store, but the novelty of the
cubic watermelon can fetch double the price of a
normal one at market.
Watermelon is a fruit and a vegetable too. It is a
vegetable because it is a member of the same
family as the cucumber, pumpkin and squash. It
is also harvested and cleared from fields like
other vine growing vegetables.
You can eat watermelon rind and seeds. All parts
of a watermelon can be eaten, even the rind,
which actually contains a number of nutrients too,
but due to the unappealing flavour, it is rarely
eaten. In China, the rind is used as a vegetable
and stir-fried, stewed or pickled. Try putting it in
a blender with some lime for a healthy, refreshing
treat. Not only does the rind contain plenty of
health-promoting and blood-building chlorophyll,
but the rind also contains more of the amino acid
citrulline than the pink flesh. Same goes for the
seeds; you can just consume them as snacks in



between your meals.
Nutritionally, watermelons contain high levels of
vitamin B6 (which increases brain power), vitamin
A (good for eyesight), potassium (which helps in
curing heart disease and keeping the heart
healthy). The watermelon also contains Vitamin
B1, C and manganese which protect against
infections.
By weight, a watermelon contains about 6% sugar
and 92% water. The high water and electrolyte
content of watermelons make them ideal as a
refreshing summer thrust quenchers. They keep
us hydrated, our skin fresh, and can clean the
kidneys of toxins.
Watermelon and watermelon juice have been
shown to reduce muscle soreness and improve
recovery time following exercise in athletes.
Researchers believe this is likely to do with the
amino acid L-citrulline contained in watermelo
