One incident that gave my dad a leg-up in his business was when someone slumped and there was no heartbeat, my dad performed CPR and revived the person before rushing him to the hospital. That singular act, made everyone go to him for solutions to their health issues.
The uncertainty of life can happen to anyone, be prepared and ready to adjust when there’s an upend in life. Nothing seems to be permanent.
That, is the summary of my life.
Growing up in the northern part of Nigeria is a side of my story that I will always treasure.
My dad lived in a community in Kaduna, he used to be a chemist man whose business thrived because he was everyone’s go to when they fall sick. He is not a trained pharmacist neither is he a medical person but from his life story he told us, he learnt the trade (the usual Igbo apprenticeship system) from his community man living in another part of the northern community, whose business excelled too. My father was good with drugs that he knows drugs to give when there’s a health issue(s) except for very serious cases.
One incident that gave him a leg-up in his business was when someone slumped and there was no heartbeat, my dad performed CPR and revived the person before rushing him to the hospital. That singular act, made everyone go to him for solutions to their health issues. They see him as their doctor and even referred to him as a doctor. If my dad tells a patient to go to the hospital, just know that it is a serious issue. The people were always afraid when my dad refers them to the hospital because it means the case is serious.
Aside being their doctor, my dad is also a counselor, settling family feud, and he was involved with the affairs of the community like he is a northerner. He bagged a title conferred to him by the community head.That, is how prominent he is.
My father bought properties in KD, was taking care of his family, his siblings and parents because he was doing well financially even though he’s not the first son confirming the Igbo adage that the person who is able should bury his or her parents it mustn’t be the first son. We had very good upbringing and my dad is a disciplinarian who made sure we’re well behaved. He also doesn’t joke with his parents and siblings.
My father traveled to the village to see his parents as it is his duty every six months, he met his elder brother and family who returned home because things were very difficult for them in the city and they couldn’t keep up, reason they returned, to see if they can find their feet.
My dad was disturbed and asked why he didn’t call to inform him so he can move to Kaduna with his family instead of the village. He called my mom to inform her that he’ll be bringing his elder brother to our house in KD, to stay with us till he finds his feet and move his family.
My mom agreed because she is family oriented and a woman that sees her husband’s family as hers and carries everyone along.
My uncle Dubem arrived Kaduna and was receiving training from my dad and helping him out in the business. Uncle Dubem started going out with women. Every morning when we all leave the house including mom who sells Ankara in the market. Uncle Dubem will tell my dad he wants to go see a friend, he will take our house key without my dad’s knowledge and bring in women, sleep with them and go back to the shop. The day he was caught, he pleaded to my parents to allow him bring his wife and children to Kaduna as it will make him stop womanizing. My parents gave their consent and made financial arrangements and prepared the boy’s quarters for them, that became the beginning of our distress days.

His first coming was like a lamb…
He was slaughtered.
So his 2nd coming is as a Lion – he will slaughter them -Charles Awuzie Analysis on Donald Trump
While I may have fundamental differences with Donald Trump as a person, but I am open minded to learn from his intentionality.
The problem I have with humans is bias – if they love Kamala then everything about Trump must be evil. And if they love Trump, anyone who disagrees with him is antichrist. The same applies to those who love Tinubu but think Obi is a scam and those who love Obi but sees nothing good in Tinubu – just low vibration, low frequency human consciousness – symptom of an ‘Unstretched’ Mind.
There are very few humans who are conscious of their own bias and are genuinely making efforts to KEEP AN OPEN MIND. These ones have STRETCHED their minds.
I have learnt so much from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political moves.
I have learnt also from President Donald Trump.
I have learnt from the Holy Koran just as I have learned from the Holy Bible.
And That’s how I maintain a constant flow of inspiration – by keeping an open mind.
Trump’s intentional use of Crypto, Religion and Nationalism is worth studying.
Crypto is the modern financial culture – it’s a cult.
Religion is an ancient universal culture – it’s a cult.
Nationalism excludes people who are not from your nation while placing your nation first – it’s a cult.
This cult strategy wins every time if well executed.
If you want to win an election in your country, align with the ideals of the majority. If they want to deport all immigrants, champion it even if your wife and biggest donors are both immigrants.
Politics is a mind game. If you don’t understand this, you are still a baby. The difference between a smiling Trump and a frowning Trump is Mind Game. Your mind will effortlessly liken him to the lamb and Lion branding of Jesus.
Good morning!

Ladies beware of this man. He tricked me that he’ll divorce his wife & marry me not knowing they’re all fat lies!
I met this guy in 2022. I thought he was genuine & i fell for his looks not knowing that he is Lucifer’s twin brother who dresses in suit & tie. We dated for 3yrs but, he never took me to his house. He claims to be married with 2 kids but unhappy & also convinced me that he was no longer interested in his wife, promising to divorce her to be with me
He claims his parents pressurized him to marry the girl & after 4 yrs he’s fed up with the marriage & wants a divorce because he’s not happy in the marriage. I took him for his word after he successfully convincing me I’m the one that he truly loves & wanted to be with, promising to marry me as soon as the divorce proceedings with his wife was over, i believed him. During this time, I became pregnant with his child, & we now have a one-year-old daughter.
However, I’ve since discovered that he never initiated any divorce proceedings. Instead, he’s been using me emotionally & financially. instead of him giving me money like a man will normally do for the woman he claims to love, he has been collecting money from me. His latest excuse is that he doesn’t want to marry a woman with children from previous relationships. Gerald, so after 2 yrs you just realized that I’m a baby mama of 2 kids from different relationships!!? After using me all this time. I swrr Gerald, my God will surely Ponizh you!!

UNIVERSITY of Zambia student’s quest to become a doctor has been temporarily halted after he was together with his ‘business’ partner for stealing phones from six students.
The student, Mike Musonda, 26, and his co-accused Equinox Tembo,24, unemployed, were jailed three years imprisonment with hard labour for stealing six phones valued at more than K14,000.
Musonda and Tembo appeared in court last week charged with six counts of theft, offences committed between August 1 and October 31, 2024.
Between the same dates, the duo stole a samsung galaxy M34 worth K4,500 from Grace Chanda, while in the second count, the accused stole an Iphone 6 worth K2,000 from Beatrice Mutale.
Accusations in the third count are that the accused stole a Huawei Pic Lite with K2,500 from Natasha Nyawa and that in the fourth count, the duo also stole an Itel S23 phone worth K2,500 from Catherine Chipasha.
In count five, the accused stole an Itel KB7 worth K2,600 from Dorcas Moyo and later stole a Techno pop 6 valued at K,1,800, the property of Mishel Siwale, in respect of the last count.
The both admitted the charges before Lusaka magistrate Amy Masoja-Chilangwa and told the court they had no claim to right to the phones.
Evidence is that during the material times, the first complaint, Ms Chanda, an UNZA student, was on her way to campus when she met Musonda, who introduced himself as an entrepreneur.
Musonda, who informed Ms Chanda that he was looking for people to ‘work’ with, later introduced her to Tembo, while at UNZA campus.
At the time, Ms Chanda had called her friend Beatrice Mutale informing her about a ‘job’ the two gentlemen were offering.
The accused later told Ms Chanda and Ms Mutale that they needed to capture their details so that they could give them identity cards for the ‘job’.
The accused then got a Samsung and an iPhone phone from the ladies on the pretext that they would get some details from the gadgets.
Musonda left with the phones leaving behind Tembo with the ladies before the latter also excused himself claiming that he wanted to use the toilet before he disappeared.
After realizing that they had been duped, the two ladies rushed to the university main entrance to alert security.
On the way, the duo met Tembo who then fled before the ladies ,security guards and other students pursued him while shouting thief.
After being apprehended, Tembo led security guards to the apprehension of Musonda before the duo was taken to Kalundu Police Post.
When news of the detention of the duo spread through campus, other affected students emerged and reported that their phones were equally stolen in a similar manner.
The affected victims went to Kalundu Police Station and gave their statements and positively identify the accused as the ones who stole their phones, which were not recovered.
In mitigation, Musonda, a medical student, asked for forgiveness because he had learnt a lesson while in remand
I’ve seen how much my friends are in pain because they now know that freedom is important. I’ve lost my sister and I am the first born. If I go for a long time, my family will be in pain” he said.
The convict said his conduct was motivated by joining bad company saying “It’s just that the friends I met made me start doing bad things’,” Musonda said.
The court heard that Musonda is a third year student but never wrote exams.
“So, instead of studying you were duping people” the magistrate said.
On his part, Tembo equally asked for leniency, pledging never to re-offend because “I am not supposed to do bad things. I want to go back to school. I want to rewrite biology”.
“You want to join him(Musonda) after rewriting biology,” the magistrate queried.
The magistrate observed that the convicts were not fully remorseful for stealing students phones, which carry vital information.
She sentenced them to three years imprisonment each.
