7 things you shouldn’t do after a breakup

Battling a breakup? We feel your pain. When you’re newly single, your head’s in a spin, you’ve hardly slept and you’re probably acting kind of irrationally. Before you do anything drastic, read this list of seven things you should never do after a breakup, and then avoid them like the plague:

Breakup blunder 1: Do not try to remain friends

Rarely can two people make a smooth transition from being lovers to friends, but if you’re going to give it a go, don’t try until the wounds have healed. Remaining friends straight after your relationship ends doesn’t leave you enough time or space to properly get over it. Cut all ties straight away, at least until your wounds have healed.

Breakup blunder 2: Do not stalk them on Twitter or Facebook

As if we didn’t have enough to contend with during a breakup, we now live in an age where social media makes matters worse. Sitting around refreshing your ex partner’s Facebook profile is a serious breakup blunder though; if you’re feeling the need to take a sneaky look, it’s probably best to delete them off all social network websites altogether. You will only get upset if you see your other half has “liked” someone else’s photo or changed their relationship status. Why torture yourself?


Breakup blunder 3: Do not turn to alcohol

When we’re feeling down in the dumps, drowning our sorrows in drink can sometimes seem pretty appealing. Don’t do it though – mixing breakups and alcohol is like mixing milk with vodka; it will end in one curdled mess. The chances are, you’ll get drunk and then make one or more of the other mistakes in this list. Instead, keep yourself occupied by surrounding yourself with friends and family who you can vent your feelings to without any judgement or lost inhibitions.

Breakup blunder 4: Do not go on the hunt for someone else

“The best way to get over a person is to get under a new one” – myth.  Got an ex boyfriend or girlfriend shaped hole in your heart? Don’t try to fill it. You need to wait for the wound to heal naturally, rather than try to patch it up. Using another person to help you get over your ex is not only selfish, it’s counterproductive. You need to deal with your emotions head on, but the rebound method only prolongs your pain as you never fully deal with your feelings. Sex with someone else is a serious no-no too. This will leave you feeling used and ashamed.



Breakup blunder 5: Do not believe you will always feel this way

Yes, you’ve demolished 10 packets of tissues and yes, you’ve burst into tears in front of your colleagues five times this week (and it’s only Monday morning), but don’t worry. It’s easy to feel as though you’ll never feel happiness again, but you will. Each day you will start to feel increasingly stronger until one day you realise that you no longer feel anything towards your ex.


Breakup blunder 6: Do not contact your ex for any reason

“I must remind him about his appointment with his eye doctor”, “I must call to ask how his mom is doing”… No, no, no, no, no! In that tricky period after you’ve broken up, you may find yourself sitting around thinking of excuses to ring your ex, but it’s important not to give into this urge. If you’ve both decided that breaking up is the right decision, leave your wounds to heal and eventually the temptation to ring your ex will fade away.

Breakup blunder 7: Don’t let yourself go

Breakups are the perfect excuse to sit around looking scruffy and scoffing ice cream by the gallon, but too much of a good thing is never good for you. Make the most of not having to look well groomed and suck your stomach in every time you’re with your partner, but once you’ve scoffed that gallon of rocky road for the fourth day on the run, it might be time to start reigning yourself in. Getting dressed and stepping out into the fresh air will do you a world of good.

FG unveils new NYSC certificates

ABUJA – FEDERAL Government, Tuesday, unveiled newly improved National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificates to be issued to corps members at the conclusion of the mandatory one year service to their fatherland. Speaking at the unveiling ceremony in Abuja, the Director General of the NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi said the scheme took the step to wage war against forgery and impersonation.

According to Olawumi, the issuance of the new NYSC certificate would take effect from Batch ‘C’ 2014, who will be passing out on 15 October.
“In our concerted effort to make the operation of the NYSC conform with global best practices, the scheme engaged in the holistic e-nysc solution with effect from Batch ‘C’ 2014 where prospective members register online before proceeding to the orientation camp. This resulted in the enhancement of issuance of NYSC certificates namely; Certificate of National Service, Certificate of Exemption and Letter of Exclusion.

Therefore batch ‘C’ 2014 corps members, who are due to pass-out on 15 October, 2015 will have their certificates embossed with their photograph,” he clarified.

New NYSC Certificate
Shielding more light on the categories of the NYSC certificates, the Director of Press, Mrs Abosede Aderibigbe said Certificate of Exemption is issued to a Full-time graduate, who is above the age of 30 at the time of graduation or such corps member is a staff of security agencies like Armed Forces, Nigeria Police, Department of State Security, National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Recipients of National Presidential Honours Award.
For Letter of Exclusion, Aderibigbe further said that it was designed to take care of corps population, who are graduates of Part-time, Distance Learning and Sandwich programmes, adding that issuance of letter of exclusion commenced in 2001, and that, they would be able to register and print their letters on line. She noted that the scheme had gone digital, therefore verification of NYSC certificate could now be done electronically.

The Greed of a Female Minister Reloaded

She is a female. She is a mother. Her name is Diezani-Alison Madueke, the Ex-Minister of Petroleum Resources and a mother of three children.

Checking her profile reveals that God has been kind to her all her life. Diezani never lacked any good thing: born into a royal family, went to some of the best schools in the world, Howard and Cambridge; worked in one of the best companies in Nigeria, Shell Petroleum; married to one of the top personalities in Nigeria; and blessed with three children

And the country, Nigeria, too gave Diezani the best she could ever give her citizens. Diezani Alison-Madueke held held three significant positions in the Nigerian federal government. She was appointed Transport Minister in 2007. In 2008, she was named as Minister of Mines and Steel Development. And after Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan became acting President in February 2010, Diezani was named as Minister for Petroleum Resources. This is the post she has held till May 2015.

The World was not left out in being kind to Diezani: In 2014, she was elected the first female President to OPEC; In December 2014, she was elected President, Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF); she was elected Chairman Committee of Ministers of the West African Gas Pipeline Authority (WAGPA).

But with all these benevolence from God, country and world, Diezani has been in the news for corruption practices of the highest order since 2008. Check the following:

1. In 2008, Diezani was a subject to a Senate probe after it emerged that as Transport Minister, she had paid N30.9b ($263m) to contractors between 26 and 31 December 2007.

2. In April 2014, Diezani was alleged to have spent over N10b inappropriately on private jets maintenance whilst many Nigerians suffer.

3. In 2009, the Senate of Nigeria indicted Diezani Alison-Madueke and recommended prosecution for the allegedly transferring N1.2b into the private account of a toll company without due process and in breach of concession agreement.

4. In April 2015, Diezani was alleged to have stolen N1.329tr as subsidy payments over three years (2009 to 2011)

5. 2010-2015, Under Diezani's supervision, the NNPC spent N700m daily to subsidize kerosene without the product reaching consumers who pay as much as N150 per litre, instead of the NNPC’s approved sum of N55 per litre.

6. In January 2015, $700m (raw cash) was allegedly found in her house, out of which $10m was stolen by her house aide.

7. In April 2015, Diezani was reported to have been responsible for the missing $20b dollars out of which $16b was returned.

8. In August 2015, Diezani together with Godluck Jonathan and his ex-CSO were alleged to have illegally withdrew $6.9m  (N1.460b) from the secret account of the NNPC to buy three 12meter mobile stages for use at public events.

9. In October 2, 2015, Diezani was nicked in London over allegations that 13b UK Pounds had gone walkabout from Nigeria's coffers.

So what could have made this woman, Diezani, who has had it all to still steal and engage in corruption practices at the expense of Nigeria?

GREED!

Yes greed, the intense and selfish desire for wealth and power.

It could be forgiven when a man is associated with corruption. It could be forgiven when a man steal. But when a woman is at the centre of it all then, all is not well. And if the person is a mother? God have mercy! What will she tell her children? What will she tell her grandchildren? A woman is supposed to be a mother of hope and a beacon of integrity.

Everything seems to be going wrong for Diezani. She failed in her lobby to get a soft landing in the event she is probed by the administration of General Buhari; she failed in her request to get asylum in 6 countries; she is currently battling with cancer in a UK hospital. And just yesterday news filtered in that she was arrested in London on Friday along with four other persons in relation to corruption allegations being investigated by the UK National Crime Agency. The EFCC has also moved to seal up her houses in Abuja.

If Diezani falls, nobody should blame it on God. If Diezani fizzles out, nobody should be blamed on country. If Diezani is arranged for trial nobody should carry placard and say it is because she is an Igbo woman. If Diezani goes to prison nobody should say it is witch-hunting.

Rather, it should be blamed on Diezani herself. Her selfish desire to want to steal, and steal, and steal. Yes it will be blamed on Diezani herself, the greedy woman minister. She is the witch! Nobody else.

Lastly blame it on the man who created the platform for Diezani to steal and steal and steal. Yes, blame it on EX- for being a bad leader and a bad role model to Diezani

Customs order immediate removal of restriction on rice import

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), has ordered the immediate removal of rice from import restriction list and the re-introduction of import duty payment at land borders.
The Public Relations Officer of customs, Mr Wale Adeniyi, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

He said that the restriction was only applied at land border stations before now, adding that the customs boss had lifted restriction on rice at border stations.
Adeniyi said that all rice imports through land borders by rice traders would attract the prevailing import duty of 10 per cent with 60 per cent levy.
He added that rice millers (preferential levy) with valid quota allocation would also attract duty rate of 10 per cent with 20 per cent levy on rice importation.
He said: “Over the years, importation has been restricted to the seaports because border authorities have found it difficult to effectively monitor and control importation of rice. When the decision to ban it (rice) was taken it was not an effective measure because smuggling of the product thrives with people using different means of conveyance including small trucks, bicycles and even animals – putting them on donkeys and some actually carry it on their heads.
“These new measures will be for customs to reorganise their anti-smuggling operations in the border areas and ensure that all those importers through the borders bring their rice through approved routes and pay their extant duty.”
NAN recalls that before the ban on rice importation, customs had placed different rate of levy on rice imports.
NAN also recalls that 30 per cent levy was placed on rice millers (preferential levy) and 70 per cent for rice importers.
The essence of the different rates of levy was to encourage local production. (NAN)

Ministerial Nominees Portfolios Revealed, Fashola for Finance, Amaechi, Defence, amongst others

The Senate President Bukola Saraki has finally unveiled the much awaited ministerial list
submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari for screening.

Notable amongst the names are; Abubakar Malami, (former Legal Adviser, Congress for
Progressive Change), Abdulrahman Dambazzau (former Chief of Army Staff), Lai
Mohammed, former Lagos Governor, Raji Fashola, Adebayo Shittu, Sunday Lalong, Chris
Ngige (former Anambra Governor), Rotimi Amaechi (former Rivers Governor).
Other names on the list are Audu Ogbe, Kayode Fayemi (former Ekiti Governor)
Emmanuel Kachiku, Sulaiman Adamu, Ibrahim Usman, Udoma Udoma and Ibrahim Jibril,
Ahmed Musa Ibeto, Aishat Alhassan.
A source has disclosed the particular portfolios for the Ministers, while coming to the
defence of controversial names in the reckoning including Amaechi, Fashola and
Mohammed.
The former Lagos governor is barely recovering from the heavy controversy surrounding
an extravagant website scandal totaling a whopping a N78 million, and an immensely
inflated borehole project that cost N139m to sink two.
The heavy debt he left for his successor Akinwunmi Ambode has not left public
discourse either, with many people within the All Progressives Congress, APC, tagging
him as “corrupt.”
Although our highly placed source could not tell Post Nigeria what qualifies the embattled ex-Governor for the position, he said he was a worthy addition.
Amaechi has accompanied the President on all defence minded visits abroad, gauging the perception of representatives of foreign governments on how we can solve our security issues, including kidnappings.
On Fashola, our source who looked livid, asked: “Have you seen the Lagos books? Have you seen how much the man raised in revenue in Lagos?
“Who else can come to the job with the political will required to aid Nigeria out of this
economic downtime?”
On the former Anambra Governor our source gushed: “Ngige is also a man with political will and know how, the leader of the APC from the S/East, a man under whose watch in his State, saw ten Anambrians become leading transport company owners nationwide.
“The transport sector, air, land , sea or any other one the man may even invent, will hugely benefit from Ngige’s input!”

Network Marketing in collaboration with Forever Living; A sure way of making extra income - The 21st century perspective

What is Network Marketing?
Network marketing which is a fancy name for Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a 21st century system of moving products from the manufacturer to the end user. This system makes use of diverse stratum (multi-level) which comprise of persons (who are the major key players), cutting out all the middle men and entrusting the sole right of product distribution (marketing) to such persons to whom a deserved compensation is paid.  N/B: product hawking exclusive.

Having intimated you on the key concepts, we shall go straight to the point. A lot of people earn relatively nothing at their various jobs which at the end of the day, is not sufficient to solve a good number of problems or which hinders them from achieving their dreams in life. In such a country as Nigeria where there is no gainful employment for the youths, a case where the job seekers are more than the jobs itself creates the want-get gap; FLP which is the top most MLM company in Africa have come to breach that gap with an entrepreneurial opportunity offering both the employed and unemployed the opportunity to achieve and actualize that dream of theirs with the World’s most trending marketing tool. There is a growing need to be part of this great and amazing opportunity to achieve, visualize and actualize our dreams. As the network marketing system has been reported to have created the most millionaires more than every other system ever dreamed. Hence, Donald Trump one of the most influential Billionaires of our time and an investment champ rebukes: “if billionaires would do and recommend network marketing, why won’t you, are you a billionaire?”

Leveraging, this is the greatest tool of network marketing. The power of leveraging enables you to earn income over the cumulative effort of others, as John Paul Getty rightly says, “I’ll rather earn 1% of 100 person’s effort, than 100% of my own effort” this is evidenced in the huge bonuses that is paid as compensation from referrals that has been made by you (downlink) or by someone who was referred by the referral effort of a previously referred or downlink as it is oft called.  The network begins to grow as more and more person is referred. FLP pays you for this without depriving your downlinks of their own income as well. Bottom-line, if you sign up someone, you get paid, if that person you signed signs another, you get paid and if you purchase FLP, you also get paid, so either way, your income grows and remitted to your bank account on the 15th of every month, the key is to grow your network. See! Isn’t that awesome?
All you need do now is to get registered with a fee of N85, 000 or $427 as the case may be of which products equal to this amount will be given to you for your personal use as this boosts your points. After that, focus with determination on building your network by registering other interested persons to be certain of your payment because that’s how you become active.
