Akeredolu’s Victory Has Demystified Tinubu’s Godfatherism, Influence In South West

Ondo Governorship election was a test-run of the popularity of President Muhammadu Buhari especially in the forthcoming 2019 election, adding that “for leading the ruling APC to victory, the President has shown that he and his party still command influence in the South West.
Mr Rotimi Akeredolu who is a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), was on Saturday elected as the sixth executive governor of Ondo State after a fairly and keenly contested election.
Akeredolu had 244,842 votes to emerge winner of the poll, after defeating 27 other candidates.
The APC candidate humiliated his closest rival in the contest, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s candidate, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, (SAN), by winning 14 out of the 18 local government areas in the state.
Jegede (SAN) of the PDP scored 150,380 while the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Chief Olusola Oke scored 126,889. Also Dr. Olu Agunloye of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) had 10,149 votes. Both Jegede and Oke won two local governments each.
Mr Akereolu had defeated Mr Olusegun Abraham, the preferred candidate of the National Leader of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tunubu, by a whopping 669 votes in the party’s primary election which held Saturday September 3rd, 2016.
Mr. Abraham, an international businessman and a one-time Chairman of Owena Motel under Governor Adefarati, scored 635 votes to place second in the race.
Akeredolu has said in an interview published by Punch Newspaper on September 3rd that the National Leader of the party, Tinubu would be “shocked” at the outcome of the primary results which he (Akeredolu) eventually won.
After Olusegun Abraham lost the primaries in September, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, had demanded the removal of the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, over what he called the latter’s anti-democratic handling of the party affairs.
In a statement he entitled, “Oyegun’s Ondo fraud: The violation of democracy in the APC,” released by the Tinubu Media Office back then, the party leader said the APC’s democratic credentials had been dealt a big blow by Odigie-Oyegun’s conduct, especially with his handling of the outcome of the Ondo State governorship primary.
APC was a party borne out of the quest for democratic good governance, arguing that the ideology was currently under a critical threat by those who managed to be in the party but were never part of it.
Tinubu further said, “from the party’s inception, the principles of democratic fairness and justice are to guide the APC’s internal deliberations.”
Many political observers however thought Tinubu’s alleged withdrawal from the Ondo State political campaign of the party would hurt Akeredolu’s chances at the poll last Saturday.
Tinubu and many of the South West Governors were not in the Ondo State APC campaigns and had given one reason or the other for not attending.
However, is of the opinion Saturday’s election victory for Akeredolu had finally consolidated President Buhari’s grip of the party and established his foothold in the South West.
Many Nigerians on social media had expressed opinion that Ondo people would show their revolt against the Buhari’s administration due the current recession and economic chaos Nigeria has been plunged into, by not voting for the APC candidate. This is moreso that Tinubu did not take part in the governorship campaign. However this permutation happened not to be the case.
President Buhari has indirectly indicated interest in the 2019 Presidential elections and establishing his ground in Ondo State, according to many political analysts, may actually be a proof of his subsisting popularity in the South West.

All You Need Is One Tea Bag and You Will Never See Mice or Spiders In Your House Again!

Mice find ways to enter homes through tiny cracks and holes. They make nests in unused corners, and they can exist on crumbs.

You may not even notice the presence of one or two, but if you aren’t careful you could end up with a full-blown infestation on your hands. The key to preventing mice from coming inside is to seal your home, clean out places where mice like to nest and remove their food sources. We found a method which is used with centuries and it is unbelievably efficient. All you need is a bag of this tea.

This homemade remedy uses a tea which most of us have in our home, Peppermint Tea*.

The strongest of the mint family, peppermint, or menthe piperita, has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. Menthol, the most important active element in peppermint, is extracted and used in pharmaceutical products as well as commercial products such as toothpaste flavoring, and food flavoring.

Peppermint masks the pheromone trails the mice leave behind, and which other mice use to find their way around. Naturally they don’t like this, and prefer to spend their time in areas where they can easily navigate.

The strong peppermint  scent also irritates the nasal cavity of the mouse. Mice have an extremely acute sense of smell. The menthol in the peppermint oil which we find refreshing is at very strong concentrations quite irritating to the mouse. So they will avoid any area in which the scent is too strong.

Method

All you need to do is make the tea and leave the tea bag in the room (I like to leave 3 per room) in which you think there are spiders or mice.

In fact, you will need more than one tea bag which you will set out where you want. But the best is to put them in the corners of your rooms, and believe it or not you will never see any of this creatures in your house again!

How To Save A Person From Stroke Using Only A Needle?

The unconventional method of saving human life during a stroke is a method of a Chinese professor who says that you should always keep a needle in your house.

Share this advice, so that you help someone survive. Take the time to read. You never know if someone’s life may depend on you.

When someone gets a stroke, the capillaries of the brain gradually stretch. You require a rest and an ambulance. These tips will help you save someone’s life!

Stay calm! Regardless of the place the victim is, don’t move them, because if you move the patient, the capillaries will burst and there will be some bleeding in the brain! It would be best if you have a syringe needle at home, but a simple needle for sewing can help, too.

Hold the needle – over the fire, a lighter or candle to sterilize and then use it for pricking the tops of all 10 fingers.

No specific acupuncture is need; it should only be a few millimeters from the nail.

Perform so that the blood can flow.

If blood does not start to drip, tighten and start squeezing the blood to flow.

When all 10 fingers begin to bleed wait a few minutes – you will see that the victim will be back to life!
If the victim’s mouth is distorted, massage their ears until they become red – so blood can come to them.

Then prick with the needle in each ear in the soft part, to fall two drops of blood of each ear. A few minutes later, his mouth would no longer be distorted
Wait until the victim come to normal state without any unusual symptoms, then send to the hospital.

This method of bloodshed to save the life is a method of a traditional Chinese medicine, and its practical application is 100% effective and using it people can survive a stroke.

This is How Headaches Reveal What is Wrong With Your Health.

Headache is the most common form of pain. It’s one of the main reason people miss days at work or school or visit the doctor. Some people have them when they are tired or if they don’t sleep enough, some people have headaches if they didn’t drink enough water that day, etc.

The most usual types of headaches are 4 and all of them indicate something about our body. If you learn the signals, you will effectively learn to treat the headaches properly.

1. SINUS HEADACHE

As its name implies, a sinus headache occurs when sinuses become inflamed or blocked. This can cause pain behind the cheeks, nose and eyes that gets worse when your bend forward or when you wake up. Common causes include allergic reaction, a tumor, or an infection. Depending on its underlying cause, symptoms can closely resemble those of a migraine.

Treatment: consume as many liquids as possible. You possibly will benefit a lot from the use of warm water since it effectively reduces the inflammation and opens the sinuses. Also, you can try to apply cold and hot compresses, reduce the pain by eating a soup, or a fresh ginger, because it has powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties.

2. TENSION HEADACHE

It’s the most usual headache type that is manifested by a constant pressure or pain around the head, mainly in the back of the head and the neck, or at the temples. It might also cause a radiating pain above or below the eye area. It can last between a few minutes to a few days. Triggers include lack of sleep, missed meals, stressful situations, high emotions and alcohol.

Treatment: Combine peppermint oil and ginger tea in order to successfully reduce the pain. Add some peppermint oil to the hairline to cause a cooling sensation with the intention to relax the head and neck muscles. Also, ginger tea will relieve the inflammation.

3. CLUSTER HEADACHE
This headache may appear over one eye, and it mostly affects women. It is often recurring, and may occur in a cycle or in a group. It appears suddenly and leads to a severe pain on one head side. In this case, you may often experience a nasal congestion, a rainy nose or a watery eye. Its cause cannot be stated, but it occurs as soon as certain nerve pathway is activated in the brain’s base.

Treatment: Capsaicin cream includes an active ingredient, cayenne pepper. A small amount of it applied to the nostril will cause a blockade of the nerve pain signals.

4. MIGRAINE

Migraines usually occur between the age of 25 and 55, but they can also be experienced regardless of the age. This headache type is way more complicated than any other headache, because it includes numerous different neurological symptoms.

Migraines are manifested by a severe, intense, throbbing pain on only one side of the head. In one-third of the migraine attacks, the pain occurs on the both sides of the head. The pain is combined with other symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, nausea, visual disturbances, extreme sensitivity to light, smell, touch, sound, as well as numbness or tingling in the face. The symptoms radiate from the top of the head descending.

Treatment: It has been shown that many migraine patients benefit from the use of omega-3 fatty acids,vitamin B12 (riboflavin), andmagnesium. Involve sufficient amounts of them in your diet in order to prevent migraines.

God Loves You

God Loves You!

The Bible says,"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"

The problem is that...
All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
The Bible says"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says"The wages of sin is death."

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins."God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
Jesus said"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child."As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name."You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
If you want to accept Christ as your Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."

Mission Biodigester Toilets

“Biodigester toilets can free us from these problems,” says Singh. The zero-waste biodigester technology breaks down human excreta into usable water and gas through anaerobic process. It does not have any geographical or temperature limitation and also does away with the need to set up large sewerage networks. The experiments to develop bio-toilets were started by DRDO around 20 years ago. “We wanted to design toilets for forces deployed at high altitudes as human excreta was becoming a big problem there,” says W Selvamurthy, chief controller of research and development division at DRDO. In areas like Ladakh, deep pits are dug for defecation. Once the tank is full it is emptied in fields. The waste has chances of mixing with melting snow that feed rivers downstream. In freezing conditions, the waste is collected and then incinerated which requires energy and labour. “But no bacteria were functioning in cold conditions,” says Selvamurthy. DRDO then decided to send scientists to Antarctica under India’s 13th Antarctic Mission in 1994 to look for microorganisms that can break down excreta. “After screening we found a variety of psychrotrophic bacteria like Clostridium and Methanosarcina,” he says. These bacteria can live in cold or hot climate and feed on waste to survive.
The bacteria were then cultured in the DRDO lab in Gwalior and tested at various altitudes and temperatures. They worked in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 55°C. To use it in a toilet, a tank was fitted below the commode to collect the excreta. The tank made of cement had sheets with bacteria embedded in it and free-floating bacteria. The bacteria cannot move out of the sheets but can multiply. When human excreta comes in contact with bacteria, it gets converted into methane and water through a series of steps of anaerobic digestion—hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis.
Faecal matter is composed of carbohydrates, protein and fats. In the first step, they are converted into simple sugars, amino acids and fatty acids. In the next step, these break to form carbonic acid, alcohols, hydrogen and water. In the third step, acetic acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide is formed. In the last step, methane, carbon dioxide and water are formed. “Methane can be used for cooking while water for irrigation,” says Singh. The best part is that once applied, the bacteria can work for a lifetime.
The first bio-toilet was set up in Ladakh in 1994. “Since then, 159 more have been constructed in high altitude regions like Ladakh and Siachen. We have enough evidence to show they are working efficiently,” says Singh. DRDO along with Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry has also set up six biodigester toilets at Dhamra district in Odisha in June. Every day around 150 people use these toilets. In July, DRDO and Union rural development ministry signed an MOU to build 100,000 biodigester toilets in 300 gram panchayats of the country in the next two years under the Centre’s flagship Total Sanitation Mission. Indian railways has also signed an agreement with DRDO to retrofit these toilets in 50,000 coaches over five years.
Tailored for specific use To suit different geographical requirements, DRDO has also made various design modifications in the biodigester toilets. For example, to avoid choking of toilets in railways because of people throwing non-biodegradable plastics, like bottles, a special lid has been constructed. On pushing the flush, the flap opens and the bottles fall on the track. The excreta enters through a separate opening into the digester tank.
The tank has several chambers to provide more surface area to hasten biodegradation. The chambers increase retention time of the waste in places where water table is high, like in Lakshwadeep or homes and offices where people flush frequently. In glaciers where the temperature is as low as -40°C, the toilet is fitted with solar panels of 240 watt to keep the excreta warm for processing. Design changes are also being worked for toilets in houseboats in Srinagar to avoid water contamination. One biodigester toilet costs Rs 15,000. “The cost will come down with increase in scale,” says Selvamurthy.

People Who Avoid Failure Inevitably Avoid Success

History tells us that while attempting to invent the incandescence light bulb, Thomas Edison, the world famous American Inventor, failed 10,000 times.
After 5,000 failed experiments, his laboratory attendant said to him; “Mr. Edison, we have failed 5,000 times, shouldn’t we stop?” Mr. Edison replied; “Son, we have not failed 5,000 times, we have only discovered 5,000 ways in which it cannot work. We are closer to the solution now than when we started.”
Success is the achievement of predetermined goals. But how do you respond when things do not go the way you planned? Do you feel discouraged and depressed? Does it make you want to quit? Everybody wants to succeed, no one wants to fail. However, our knowledge of success cannot be complete without knowing how to handle failure.

Successful people see failure as a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. They have the right attitude that failure will neither be fatal nor final. They refer to their failure as “learning experiences” or “temporary setbacks”.

On the other hand, unsuccessful people are usually those who are so afraid of failure and rejection that they spend their lives avoiding the risks that could result in failure. They do not realize that those who avoid failure inevitably avoid success.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Success will not come without you taking a risk.
Don’t let what you have done label you negatively. That you failed an interview, an examination or a sales pitch does not make you a failure. Who you are is different from what you have done.

Don’t say to yourself; “I am a failure” just because things did not work out right. If you do that, you have internalized your failure. If you allow failure to get into your heart, it will follow you everywhere.
A key thing to note is that failure is usually a sign that you need to change something. If things are not working, something is out of place.

Be willing to make adjustments prayerfully. Just a small change can result in an outstanding breakthrough.
Always remember that failure is not peculiar to you. Most successful people can write volumes on how not to succeed. They have tried many things that did not work. However, the world has not recognized them for the many ventures in which they failed. No. They have been recognized for the few areas in which they have achieved outstanding success.

Dear friend, as you travel on the road to success, you will have challenges. If you get knocked down, are you going to give up and stay down, wallowing in your defeat? Or are you going to get back on your feet as quickly as you can? You can use failure as a springboard to success.
Stay blessed.
