On the recent Nigeria's World Cup march victory by Emmanuel Gabriel Damwesh

Nigeria's Super Eagles squad against Iceland

Yesterday, in far away Russia, in the ongoing 2018 World Cup, Nigeria defeated Iceland. Ekong (Ibibio) passed the ball to Balogun (Yoruba) who found Mikel Obi (Igbo) who laid the pass to Moses (Christian) who sent the vital cross that Ahmed Musa(Muslim) scored for Nigeria.

For a moment, I looked around as Nigerians who barely knew each other jubilated and celebrated our victory. Almost every person, complete strangers to every other person, was hugging their neigbhours, patting backs and clinking glasses, just like long lost friends.

Bala Takaya, The Middle Belt, And The Meaning Of History By Obadiah Mailafia

JOHN Bala Takaya, President of the Middle Belt Forum, MBF, went to be with his Maker at dawn of Sunday 25 May. He died on Trinity Sunday, an important date in the Christian Calendar. For five years, he had wrestled bravely with the prostate cancer that was eventually to claim his life. A profile in courage, he bore the affliction with a wry smile. He always reminded me of Socrates. He embodied excellence, virtue, wisdom and the humane values of the peoples of the Middle Belt in a beautiful and unforgettable way.

Xuefei Yang, the Chinese celebrity guitarist

It was a beautiful Saturday morning as I watched CCTV. A programme it calls ICON came up and was greeted by an inspiring interview with a musical genius named Xuefei Yang. She sounded inspiring and played awesomely, I soon fell in love with every bit of the programme. It led me to Xuefei Yang’s official website, www.xuefeiyang.com, where I found more information about her. This ICON show on CCTV truly made my day. Xuefei’s story started from childhood when she began learning to play the guitar, an instrument she describes as western and therefore alien to the Chinese music culture. She had her first public performance at age 10.

September the 7th; Fifteen Years After - Kingsley L. Madueke

Fifteen years after deadly violence devastated Jos, the city is yet to enjoy true peace. Armed military men struggle to maintain what can best be described as graveyard peace. It's very uncertain if this fragile calm will still endure when the armed forces exit. Painfully, government at all levels have only paid lip service to the root causes of the conflict. The indigent-settler imbroglio is still unresolved, youth unemployment is ever peaking and politicians and pundits are hard at work peddling their divisive rhetoric that serves to deepen ethnic cleavages.

Opinion: The ways forward for the economy to be out of recession

Recessions generally occur when there is a widespread drop in spending. 

A recession is a negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters, which has occurred in the Nation. 

Macroeconomic indicator for the recession in the Nation is inflation rate and high unemployment; in addition to fall in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), household income, investment spending, capacity utilization (the extent or level to which the productive capacity of the Nation is being used in generation of goods and services), and business profits. 

Definition, causes and effects of recession

Economic Recession Definition

Economic recession is a period of general economic decline and is typically accompanied by a drop in the stock market, an increase in unemployment, and a decline in the housing market. Generally, a recession is less severe than a depression. The blame for a recession generally falls on the federal leadership, often either the president himself, the head of the Federal Reserve (CBN Governor in Nigeria’s case), or the entire administration.

Your tongue, the steering of your life

By Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye

Yes, your tongue is the steering of your life. Your words determine the direction of your life. If you listen to God, agree with Him, do what He asks you to do and be saying what God is saying, be sure your spirit will get stronger and stronger and your life will become beautiful. Well if you listen to the devil, do or say what the devil wants, you will get weaker and weaker and become defeated in life!

You have a choice. Choose to line up  with God.

Look not at the things that are seen, stop depending on the circumstances around you, look at the promises of God, and start saying them, speaking the promises of God into existence.

Do not allow circumstances to rule you. Allow the word of God to rule your life.
