Lagos - We all know some much repeated ways to
save money , like taking some off the top and paying yourself first, planning and sticking to a
budget, never leaving the house in fear of
spending money (you don’t have) like a
Hollywood rapper. But we still find ourselves partying spending like it’s 1999. Well, here are 5 money saving mind
tricks you may not have tried before. Money is time. You’ve been eyeballing a hot new Smart TV, even
though there’s nothing wrong with your current one. What can quickly put a 'want' into perspective is
thinking about how much time (not money) the item
you want costs. Think about what you earn per day or hour and see
how many days or hours of work that smart TV
will cost. Is your time worth the expense? Thinking about it
this way may change your perspective a little. Resist the decoy effect. Shopping centres and marketers have clever ways
and means of encouraging you to part with your
money, but the wiser you are to them, the easier they
are to resist. The decoy effect is when stores place one product
next to a similar but more expensive product. For example, there’s a camera for N80,305 and one
right next to it for N144,533. When people feel they’re getting a good deal,
they’re more likely to make a spontaneous purchase. You buy the N80,305 camera because you think it’s a
super deal and you saved N64,244. But the camera
still cost you N80,305. Get real about the fantasy life. Some of us are guilty of buying things we won’t
ever actually use. We buy them for the life we
would like to lead, like scuba diving gear for all
those exotic beach vacations you want to take. Or a mountain bike for the extreme sportsman you
want to be. Those are all great things to aspire too,
but before you head out and buy a new kayak, ask
yourself, "Will I actually use this or am I buying
it for my fantasy life?" It’s (not) yours. A common cognitive bias that kicks most of us in the
butt when it comes to spending is called the
Ownership Effect. Basically what happens is we
become more willing to pay higher prices for
things we think we already own. If you are out shopping for a new couch, for
instance, you spot one you think is perfect and create
an ‘attachment’ to it. You start to picture it in your lounge with beautiful
scatter cushions; you see yourself snuggled up on it
with a good book and a cup of tea. At this point in your purchasing process, you have
built up this couch in your mind and it flips a
switch that makes you value it more highly than
other couches. Now, no matter the other options presented to you,
even if they are cheaper and similar, you will be
more willing to pay more for the couch you think
you already own. See the bigger picture Having a picture of your financial goals, like a
jet ski or new fridge, right next to a photo of your
loved ones might not be the most romantic thing, but
having a picture to remind you of what you are
working towards can really help nip any trivial or
impulse buy in the bud

Katsina - No fewer than twelve people
collapsed at the Katsina State rally of the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Muhammadu Buhari on
Wednesday, reports NewsDay. Among the victims were four policemen drafted
to the venue of the rally to maintain peace. Some of the victims had been standing for hours
under the sun and the heat and stress apparently
took a toll on them.
The rally, which was scheduled to commence at
10a.m at the Polo ground did not start until
4.30p.m. Also read: 2 injured as thugs invade APC rally Some of the victims were taken to hospital for

Ivorian football star Didier Drogba is well known
for his prolific scoring as a forward for Chelsea,
as well as for being captain of the Côte d’Ivoire
national team for the last decade. Drogba has the
distinction of being highest goal-scorer of any
foreign player in the Premier League, and was even voted the best Chelsea player by supporters of the
club in 2012. Here are 17 things you didn’t
know about Didier Drogba.

His mother nicknamed him ‘Tito’
Drogba’s mother, Name, nicknamed him “Tito” after
President Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, whom she
greatly admired

He was sent to live with his uncle in France at a
young age
At age 5, Drogba was sent to live with his
professional footballer uncle, Michel Goba, in
France. He returned to his family in Abidjan three
years later after becoming homesick, but moved back to France after both his parents lost their jobs as
bank workers.

He was reunited with his parents in 1993 after
they moved to France
Drogba’s parents moved to Antony, a suburb of
Paris, in 1993. He moved back in with them and
his siblings, and began playing football on a more
frequent basis.

He played for Le Mans for four years
From 1998-2002, Drogba played in the second
division of the French football club Le Mans. The
four years were fraught with injury, but it was
also his first professional contract, and a rung on
the ladder to higher prospects.

His next big breaks
After Le Mans, Didier transferred to Ligue 1 soccer
club Guingamp, and his record goals attracted
Marseille, who bought him for £3.3 million
pounds. During his year of playing for Marseille,
he scored 19 goals and won the National Union of Professional Footballers Player of the Year
Award

He’s the most expensive Ivorian player in history
In the summer of 2004, Drogba signed a contract
with Chelsea for $40 million. He turned out to be
worth it, though, as he helped the club win its
first league title in 50 years.

He is Chelsea’s greatest player, according to many
In 2012, a poll of 20,000 fans administered by the
Chelsea club’s official magazine named Didier
Drogba the team’s greatest player ever

Both his brothers are footballers
Drogba’s two younger brothers, Joël and Freddy
Drogba, are also footballers. Freddy plays for the
French Ligue Youth 1 side Dijon.

Drogba was the first African player to score 100
premier league goals
In March 2012, he scored his 100th premier league
goal in a victory over Stoke City, becoming the 22nd
player ever, and the first African, to do so.

He was also the first player to be sent off in a
European Cup final for violent conduct
In the 117th minute of the 2008 Champions League
final, Drogba slapped Manchester United
defender Nemanja Vidic. Chelsea went on to lose
the game in penalties after Capt. John Terry took Drogba’s place in the shootout and missed.... To be continued..

Chelsea have made some star signings over the years but this one would trump the lot - that of
Jesus Christ. However, even with all his roubles, Chelsea owner
Roman Abramovich won't be bringing the Son of
God to Stamford Bridge. But a survey has found
that 20 per cent of kids think he already plays for
the Blues. A total of 1,000 children were asked the
following multiple choice question as part of a
survey for Brent Cross Shopping Centre: Who is
Jesus Christ? a) A footballer for Chelsea b) Son
of God c) TV presenter d) X Factor contestant or e)
An astronaut Apparently, 20 per cent of the children asked at a
shopping centre in Brent Cross went with option a). Even if Jesus was available in the transfer market,
one suspects Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who
styles himself as the 'Special One', might feel
uncomfortable about being upstaged by such a star
name.

Christmas is a time of celebration, yes we all know
that but who can imagine if we could have people
who reason like this and how it could add to the
joy of Christmas. A wife walks up to the husband and say! Honey,
you are the apple of my eyes even from the very
first day I met you, life wouldn't have be complete
for me had it being I dint marry you, all you have
done for me throughout this year has been enough
compared to what I have seen or received throughout my youthful age. Therefore all I want from you at
this festive period as a gift is “You” but nothing
else. Also read: Davido buys Christmas present for himself Hmmm. A husband walks up to the wife and say;
my joy, my morning sunrise, afternoon sunshine
and evening dawn. The one my life revolves
around, I will always love you, take me to
anywhere you wish to go and point anything that
you wish to have and I'll make sure I see to it. Hmmm. Children to their father; dad you have always been
there for us, what more can we ask at this
Christmas, allow us to use our old wears take us to
orphanage home to celebrate with them and always
know that you are our father, we love you the way
you are. So sweet I must say. What do we make of this, if
every home in our world today will practice this?
Let's hear your voice. God bless and happy Christmas!

I wrote in one of my articles that death is a
Supernatural vehicle. It was widely published in
popular media but many people read it without
understanding. They could not read deep meaning
into it because most countries and minds in Africa
are retarded. Insight revealed it to the wise that mental force like retardation and decadence do not
give anybody to think and understand anything
for good under the Sun. Wise ones like prophets and seers know that
mental constraint has eaten deep into lives (souls)
in jungle, and the effects are reflected in
manners, doings, behaviors, reactions and what
have you. The ugly situations are worst in Africa where
people are badly brainwashed with religion. We
see them in places like churches and mosques where
they venerate without any good sense. They make
recitations in ignorance because majority of
worshipers in the continent do not understand that religion and creed are things of formality. I
called them "vein worshipers and that is what they
are. Worshipers of nothing under the Sun! They
are too many in Africa especially in dead country,
Nigeria. We hear them making recitations each time
they gather, and one of the popular creeds in Roman Catholic said, "... ...world without end". I have to say all these because I was with the wise
in realism lately. They said, "If one door closes
another one will open." They made it very clear to
me, saying that the closing is the ending while
the new opening is another beginning. According to the wise, the end is not final. It is
only an end to a journey or step, not a final end in
life. It means that there are endless endings under
the Sun. That is what they meant when they said,
“World without end!" The ending is infinite or eternal. Certain people
called it "unknown destination" but the wise called
it "close door". Both of them mean ending. As a matter of reality, destination is end of a life
journey while close-door is the beginning of
another journey all together. That is it. Come to think of it! One needs a vehicle to embark
on any long journey, and there are doors in every
car, bus, taxi, airplane and what have you. So, let
somebody tell us! What do we do at the end of a
journey? If we ask me, I will say that I traveled
with a bus and the bus-conductor opened the "door" at the bus-stop because the term "bus-stop" is a
destination, not a final end. The same thing applies to death. It is not a final
end because nature has reincarnation as another
beginning in Supernatural and mystery. The wise
told me that death is just a vehicle and life in
general remains a journey without end in realm of
jungle. They described it in wisdom as "world without end!!!"

Abuja - Former Head of State, Muhammadu
Buhari, has condemned the manner in which the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has
handled the issue of Boko Haram in the country, Vanguard reports. Buhari made the comment in response to a statement
by Peoples Democratic Party accusing him of
playing politics with the insurgency and
unpatriotically refusing to join hands with
Federal Government to address the problem until he
is elected president. He said he is “horrified by the bare-faced
falsehood, insidious fallacy and scurrilous
untruth contained in the statement of the ruling
party, just for the purpose of cheap political
agenda, bearing similarities with the despicable
Emperor Nero, who was fiddling while Rome burned. Also read: Jonathan not ready for free polls- Buhari He went ahead to list the number of occasions he
had to intervene in national issues which includes
in January 14, 2010, whilst a tiny cabal tried to
hold the entire nation to ransom, thus preventing

assuming the role of Acting President, General Muhammadu Buhari said he led a delegation of
patriotic Nigerians to the senate, with a passionate
plea to the Upper Legislative chamber to do the
needful for the continuity of governance in the

Enugu made history, Wednesday, as the only
Nigerian city among 35 cities from across the globe
invited to join the 100 Resilient Cities Network
(100RC) pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation,
New York. The announcement was made during The
Rockefeller Foundation’s Urban Resilience Summit
in Singapore. The other three African cities that
made the list alongside the Coal City of Enugu are
Kigali (Rwanda), Accra (Ghana) and Arusha
(Tanzania). The choice of Enugu was predicated on the
transformation of the road network in the city under
Sullivan Chime. This was in addition to numerous
national and international recognitions that have been
bestowed on Enugu state. The organizers of the
network said that Enugu was chosen from nearly 350 applicants on the basis of its ability to
“demonstrate a unique vision for resilience, a long-
term commitment to cutting across levels of
government and sectors of society, a special attention
to the needs of the poor and vulnerable.” The Foundation stressed that Enugu like other
Network cities will serve as a model for other
global cities that seek to build their own resilience. This second wave of cities will join 32 cities that
won last year’s 100 Resilient Cities Challenge,
forming a growing network of urban centers around
the world that are ready to respond to the social,
economic and physical shocks and stresses that are a
growing part of the 21st century. Other renowned cities of the world invited to join
the list in the 2014 edition include Athens,
Barcelona, London, Paris, Boston, Chicago, Amman,
Sydney and Singapore. 100-Resilient Cites was created by an initial $100
million commitment by the Rockefeller Foundation
as part of their Centennial last year, recognizing the
trends of urbanization and globalization that
characterize this century.

The world today is going anti clockwise not
longer clockwise. Pope Francis entered mosque to
seek for peace between Christians and Muslims in
the country just as to encourage other countries too
in sharing peace and living in love as one, but
some fanatics are criticizing the man of God. Also read: Religion minus sound education is equal to retardation Equally the same way Muslims clerics could do
the same and some fanatics equally criticise. If
people I claim to see as leaders have not prepared
and carry weapons to go and kill, why then
should I do it if at all I am been told to do so?
What is actually wrong with people senses. Why should I follow the teachings of my leader
to destroy why him or her is busy enjoying his or
her self with his family? If your leader can see
God, why can't you see the same God, after all,
God is not hidden to some selected persons, He is
only but for all. Allow your leader to do the killings if it is
innocent work by God that you are doing. God bless!

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday told senators behind the Jonathan-Must-Go impeachment project that there were issues of national importance that needed their attention rather than the plot against him. Jonathan’s advice was contained in a reaction by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, who fired back at the senators said to be compiling signatures and impeachable offences against the President. “It is our view that there are at present, serious fundamental issues of national importance such as winning the war against terrorism and stabilising the economy in the face of dwindling oil revenue which require the full attention, commitment and swift action of distinguished members of the Senate,” Okupe said. Arrowheads of the impeachment plot against Jonathan in the Senate on Tuesday told journalists in Abuja that 65 senators had already signed to remove the President and that they would formally present a request to commence the impeachment proceedings on December 16. The senators said they would have tabled their request this week but for the adjournment in the Senate. The upper federal legislative chamber had suspended plenary till December 16 for members to participate in the ongoing primaries of the parties. Okupe’s full statement read, “The Senate in the last four years has conducted its legislative functions and responded to issues that are of great national importance with commendable political sagacity. “In this same period, the Senate has functioned as a stabilising force within the polity employing much political maturity that is required to guide and protect our nascent democracy. “However, confrontation and strong disagreements are not uncommon phenomenon in Executive- Legislative relationship world-wide. “The recent purported attempt by some senators to prepare impeachable offences against the President, as reported in some section of the media, is seen by us in this light. “We strongly trust and believe in the leadership of the present Senate and the unwavering patriotism and commitment that have been shown by the distinguished members and we trust that ultimately it is this tendency towards true nationalism that will prevail in the Senate. “It is our view that there are at present, serious fundamental issues of national importance such as winning the war against terrorism and stabilising the economy in the face of dwindling oil revenue which require the full attention, commitment and swift action of distinguished members of the Senate. “We are of the opinion that all matters political can and will be resolved politically in the overall interest of our democracy and the wellbeing of our people.” One of the arrowheads of the impeachment move in the Senate, Senator Alkali Jajere, had told journalists on Tuesday that there was no going back on the project. He had said, “As of today, the required signatures to initiate the impeachment process had been obtained. The Senate has adjourned to December 16, so by that date the impeachment motion will be presented on the floor of the Senate. “As of last week, 63 of us had signed up for the impeachment; my signature was the fourth but I can confirm to you that we have 63 signatures but after the session today two people had called and told me that they want to sign. “One of them is an All Progressives Congress senator who was away doing campaign because he is contesting the governorship election of his state. The other person is a Peoples Democratic Party senator. “Before the end of today I can assure you that the list will swell up to 70. It is on the impeachment day that we need two-thirds of the members to carry out the exercise but we need only one-third, which we already have, to initiate the process. It is just a matter of one day sitting. We will just push it before the two chambers.” Jajere said he signed the impeachment motion because of his conviction that there were impeachable
offences against Jonathan and that the process had been started early in the year but was truncated.

Leading presidential aspirant on the
platform of the All Progressives
Congress, Gen. Muhammad Buhari has
said that there are enough evidences on
ground to indicate that the 15years of
PDP’s administration in Nigeria has been disastrous for the country and her
people. Buhari stated this in Zamfara State
capital, Gusau at weekend during his
meeting with the APC delegates for the
presidential primaries. General Buhari, who received a rousing
welcome from the people of the state,
explained that one of the major economic
disasters of the PDP misrule is the
neglect of the nation’s power sector
which represents the life wire of every sector of the economy. He said apart from this, the PDP has
over the years turned the country into a
colony of corruption where dishonest
government officials were not only let
free, but were openly celebrated. The presidential aspirant charged every
citizen of the country to keep political,
sectional or any other sentiment aside and
“assess our current situation and make an
honest, unbiased judgement”, explaining
that this will give Nigerians a clear view of the dangers we are plunged into
by the PDP’s 14 years misrule of the
country. He called on Nigerians irrespective of
their differences “To think Nigeria
first before any other sentiment.”
According to him, the survival of the
nation is paramount and uncompromising
to every citizen. “My primary mission is to offer my best
as emergency sacrifice to employ timely
measures to reverse the drift in our social
and economic glory”, he emphasized. “We must not allow this country to
perish”, he warns, with a caution that
Nigeria is heading to collapse and
unless “we all put hands on deck to
salvage it, history will never forgive
us” he said

challenges. What are yours? Why are you not
achieving your goals yet. What are your favorite
excuses? The time has come to stop complaining and
start achieving. You might not be fulfilling destiny
yet because of one limitation or the other, but I tell you,there is no such limitation. Its only a mirage. Stop giving yourself reasons why you can't succeed
and start giving yourself reasons why you must
succeed. Truth is,there are so many people who have
being in your situation and have successfully come out
and victoriously too. If you read on you'll see a few
examples why you can be a success no matter what The Abraham Lincoln case study I suppose you know the greatest American president
(arguably),born into a very poor home,educated for
only a year,Lincoln had the desire to learn and to
succeed. His desire made him above all odds realize his
dreams.He led America through the end of the civil
war.(a Google search about abraham lincoln and the
civil war would shed more light on this). Today,Lincoln is amongst the most admired American
leaders.Your desire would make a path for you if
you work hard and hold onto it long enough.. Do you
think your case is worst compared to Abraham
Lincoln? Check this out, The Ben Carson Story Benjamin Carson was raised by a very poor single
mother(Sonya Carson). Ben and his elder brother
Curtis were extremely dull in class,and this was a
Time America was very racial,you don't want to
combine being dull,poor and black in such a
community, (now that's what I call extreme) but sadly that was the case of Ben Carson. They always come bottom in class until their mum
took a DECISION. That Ben and Curtis would not
play until homeworks were done,read and write a
report of the books weekly to her(though she
couldn't read). Ben and Curtis were not happy with
this new development,but the obeyed anyway,they read two books weekly and gave written reports to
their mum. Days went by and turned into weeks and months,One
day in class the teacher asked a question. No one
could answer,not even the most intelligent could
identify this piece of rock. ALAS!!! "I sir" Ben
Carson wanted to answer(can you imagine how the
other students would have felt? Like what is he doing?) But the teacher recognized and asked him to
answer. "Obsidian" Ben answered. He had just
answered his first question. He went on to explain
beyond the teachers' expectation. From then onward,
Ben didn't slow down,'there and then I realized I
was not stupid' Ben stated in his autobiography. He achieved so so much,Getting all forms of
scholarships. At the unheard age of 30 he became the
director of pediatric Neurosurgery. He was the first
to lead a team to successfully separate a conjoined set
of twins both surviving.His brother Curtis Carson
develops brake systems for aircraft. Friends what is holding you back from succeeding.?
What is that self limiting belief you are holding?
Set yourself free and relaunch your passion and
desires. The truth is that you can succeed and you
will.Like dr carson's Mom,take decisions that would
positively affect your life. I recommend you read his book 'Gifted Hands',it a
must read book for everybody who wants success the
right way.
If you are reading this post then you have
eyes,people who don't have eyes still succeed,you
don't agree? You should or read this,about physically challenged yet successful people. If you
are conversant with hymns and their authors,you
would have heard of Frances Jane Cosby.she was
one of the most prolific hymn writers,with over 8000
hymns. despite being
blind. She wrote "Blessed assurance" "Jesus is tenderly
calling" "To God be the Glory" to name a few.
Also blind was Adams Hellen Keller(miracle
worker) and Louis Braille who by the way gave the
blind a way to read and write. Tell me what can keep
you from succeeding if you really want to succeed. Absolutely NOTHING. The Good book also told us of Joseph amongst
others who became a ruler in a nation he was taken to
has a slave. That is an achiever any day any time.
Actually you can succeed too,you can win,how do I
know?
Because you are not alone in that situation. So many others were,many are and many will be. It has always being like that. And because others
have succeeded, I want you to draw strength in
achieving your
purpose. these are physically challenged yet
successful people,what is holding you back?
You can succeed and you should.Just hold on and retry

Sao Paulo — The 44-year-old son of soccer
legend Pele was arrested in Brazil on Tuesday
after losing an appeal in a money laundering case
involving a drug gang. Edson Cholbi do Nascimento, known as Edinho,
had been convicted earlier this year and sentenced
to 33 years in prison for laundering money for the
gang. The former goalkeeper had been allowed to
remain free during the process, but a local judge
said his appeal was rejected. Edinho can appeal again to a higher court, but
judge Suzana Pereira said in her ruling that this
time he must remain in jail. Edinho's lawyers told Brazilian media that they
were surprised with the ruling and will request
Edinho's immediate release. Pele's press office said the former player will
not immediately comment on his son's arrest. The
74-year-old Pele, a World Cup champion with
Brazil in 1958, '62 and '70, successfully
underwent surgery to remove kidney stones last
week. He was discharged from hospital on Saturday. Edinho was taken into custody during a mandatory
monthly visit to a court in the coastal city of
Santos. He had spent about a week in prison in
July before being allowed to appeal in freedom.
He also spent six months in a maximum-security
prison in 2005 after being arrested with 50 others in a sweep aimed at a gang in Santos. Prosecutors
said he was associated with the criminal group. Edinho previously denied the charges against him,
although he publicly said he had used drugs out
of curiosity after he quit professional soccer. In the early 1990s, Edinho was charged with
taking part in a high-speed race in which the other
car hit and killed a motorcyclist. He was sentenced
for manslaughter years later before being
acquitted in 2005. Edinho played in the early 1990s with Santos, the
same team where Pele played during most of his
career. He had been working as an assistant coach
with the eight-time Brazilian champion.
