time attack
between yesterday November 12th and today Nov 13th, defeating the insurgents and driving them out of town.
Confirming
the development to Premium Times, the director of press to the Adamawa
Governor, Phineas Elisha, said the synergy between the vigilante
group and the Nigerian military helped to chase the insurgents out of
the town which they captured two weeks ago“His Excellency, Governor Bala Ngilari, has confirmed that the combined efforts of the Civilian Vigilante and the Sarkin Bakan Gombi as well as the military has successfully chased away Boko Haram from Mubi town. Some of them (Boko Haram) ran away through Askira Uba and others through Mubi South and the situation in Mubi now is quite different from what it used to be.” he said

The unbiased truth about cheating...
The issue of cheating on a loved one is at its peak, hurting people is just criminal and kills them slowly, this time of the year is usually what I call cheating time because, one we are in a season of showoff all you have accomplished for the year, be you married, single or what ever class you belong.
The truth is that everyone must blame someone for the wrongs happening to them, but are we really looking at the right source? I would try and break it down as much as I can. The first gender I wanna tackle is the male gender, single and married.
The truth about cheating is that is a habit, and everyone knows habits are things you have done often over a long time, as a young single man, you found pleasure in going in and out of relationships because getting out was a cool way of avoiding the problems you encountered in your relationship, this ultimately meant you also kept sleeping with different women and hence you already picked up a habit, unknowingly!
Soon you began to do two or more relationships at once,
instead of learning how to groom a relationship and cherish it, you
schooled yourself on finding joy in screwing different women, soon you
grew into a man who wanted a wife and kids which ultimately meant you
wanted a home, but you have never succeeded in being with one woman or
surviving hard times in a relationship, you didn't learn how effective
communication could fix issues before they become serious problems, your
way of getting over issues was being with someone else.
Getting married doesn't automatically change your habits. You should mould your character before Marriage. Now you are married, with a wife and kids, of course you have been cheating on her the minute she got pregnant or as soon she started to have stretch marks and added weight, she can't do all she used to do to rock your bed, because your focus as always been on sex, you no longer see any reason to communicate with her and tell her what u fink, BOTH OF YOU, can do to better your sex life.
You will rather resort to your usual way of doing things, "get on the next available flight leading to no where"
Your problem dear married randy men isn't your wife, your problem has been you, you have lacked character from a young age, you never had time to know what was required of you in a relationship, there is a thousand things to learn in a relationship, that's why you are allowed to date before you get married, you don't learn communication by jumping around, you don't learn how to be satisfied with what you have by not adding value to it, you don't learn to adapt to the changes that comes with what you have, if you never really spend time understanding how to adapt to the changes and maximize it, if you never been through a good change before, how do you find strength in going through a new one?
Forget the single girl out there, you made a vow to your
wife! Fear God, be a man and keep it. if you are in a relationship, stay
there! Make it work, learn, grow, don't jump around looking for the
easy way out, because you will discover that over time you have not
grown in intra-personal relationships. so when you get married tomorrow
when your wife no longer has all the energy for your always eager
manhood, you would give her your company rather than your absence,
because the reason she lost her shape, her firm breast, the reason she
is no longer as good as she used to be is all because of YOU.
Secondly young men you must strive to fear God, no one likes to hear this part, there is a popular saying, it is hard to change from what you are used to doing, thou shall not commit fornication! It sounds difficult and silly but check out the adverse effect it would have on your tomorrow! If the woman you will get married to tomorrow is your first sexual encounter how would u then learn cheating at old age? How would you know that if your wife who is no longer a little girl who has sex with you all the time just to keep you, doesn't have such time anymore because she now has ALOT to take care of, that when she doesn't give it to you, there is a lazy girl out there waiting for a few thousands in exchange for her pride?
Men and young boys we seriously need to work on our
character and relationship with God. We make women fight and hate
themselves, because we are a not grown character wise, we make it look
like these women are not good enough! You enjoy watching them fight over
you? It isn't because you are special its because they don't really
know who you are and what they should want!
Fornication creates the habit of always wanting sex, sex
creates the urge to always want to blind give so as to avoid any
resistance from the woman, that habit gives birth to not having
enough....that habit has given birth to who you are now! A RANDY SERIAL
CHEATING GROWN KID!

Back
then in my secondary school (Mayflower School, Ikenne), we sang so many
inspiring songs and one of them carries the title of today’s article.
Some of us believed those songs so much that we got inspiration from
them when we had our down times.
Upon hearing the news about Dr. Myles Munroe’s death, I began to think and eventually got myself together to write about some of the things we can take away from his life.
I read an update from Humans of New York and my heart sank a little. The man Brandon had interviewed said, “I
think if we were all being honest with ourselves, very few of us ever
meet The One. The vast majority of people just marry because they’re
ready. I never really felt like I met The One. I don’t think my wife is
The One. I mean, she’s a nice lady. But I don’t think she’s The One for
me. And I don’t think she’d mind me saying that, because if she was
being honest, I don’t think she’d say I am The One for her either.”

Fola Daniel Adelesi: Whatever You Choose To Be
Back
then in my secondary school (Mayflower School, Ikenne), we sang so many

Some of us believed those songs so much that we got inspiration from

‘You can become whatever you choose to be.
No king, no lord, no knave can say us nay
For we believe that man is a potential doctor,
Lawyer or cook or dwarf or giant… whichever
He sets his mind to be… we shall be giants
And therefore we shall work, and work and work and work…
Even if we must work. Work our fingers to the bone… so may it be.’

Lawyer or cook or dwarf or giant… whichever
He sets his mind to be… we shall be giants
And therefore we shall work, and work and work and work…
Even if we must work. Work our fingers to the bone… so may it be.’
The song perfectly describes the life of
this great man who was born into a poor family with at least eleven
children. They had nothing yet he rose to become something. Who would
have imagined that a poor boy from a small country called Bahamas would
be so famous that people all over the world and government leaders will
be shocked by his death?
I think he could have held unto the fact
that his family was so poor and there was not much he could do about
that. I call it a fact because whatever you believe about yourself, even
if it is not true, over time will become a fact. He looked beyond the
poverty of his family and made something meaningful out of his life.
What about those other people who were born into the same situation as he was. There are so many of them out there who are older than him today. They got better opportunities and still did not see the light in them. They held unto the background that they were born into. They kept talking about how poor their parents were and how they did not get the best connections in life.

You should see, from this man’s life,
that your background may have been very poor but it is not an excuse for
you to be poor. You may have been born poor but to remain poor is a
choice. You could have been born in obscurity but to remain in that
obscurity is totally your choice. It does not matter where you were
born. You can decide to be relevant to the kings and queens of the
world.
When I saw the video of the press
conference held by the board of Dr. Myles Munroe’s church, the other
church leaders there said they had gotten calls from all over the world.
As I saw all the messages across social media platforms, I just could
not think of any other thing than the little beginning that he shared
with us many times in his different messages. It was as though I had a
resonance of contrast in my head.
I remembered the man born into a poor
family and the family who is a force to be reckoned with by the
government of his country. I remembered the teenager seeking relevance
in life and the man who was flying around the world as a motivational
speaker and government consultant.
People like these inspire me a lot and I
think they should inspire you too. It was not just their words that
inspired me. It was the practical things they have shown us about how
you can rise from nothing to something.
If you are reading this right now I
think your beginning or background may not have been as bad as that of
someone like Myles Munroe. If he made so much out of his life then you
can make a whole lot of difference with your life. I dare you to make
that difference now or to start if you have only been thinking about it
but have not started. Don’t focus on what you don’t have or are waiting
for. Focus on what you already have and what you can achieve with that.
I believe that in every way, what you
and I carry are far more important than what we don’t have. Therefore we
have no excuse to not rise out of poverty, lack, obscurity, the
limitations of life or any other known challenge. Dr. Myles Munroe did
it. You and I can also do it so long as we start looking inwards – for
our potentials – and prepare to ‘die empty rather than enriching the grave.Busola Adedire: The Soul Mate Theory
I read an update from Humans of New York and my heart sank a little. The man Brandon had interviewed said, “I
think if we were all being honest with ourselves, very few of us ever
meet The One. The vast majority of people just marry because they’re
ready. I never really felt like I met The One. I don’t think my wife is
The One. I mean, she’s a nice lady. But I don’t think she’s The One for
me. And I don’t think she’d mind me saying that, because if she was
being honest, I don’t think she’d say I am The One for her either.”
Although, he was being brutally honest, I
can’t really tell if I was sad because I felt sorry he had settled, or
the fact that he had referred to his wife as an ordinary ‘nice lady’ or
rather because I still believe in fairy tales. I do have to admit that I
have probably watched too many Disney movies for my own good, but a
part of me believes God had designed someone special for everyone. My
parents have been married for 26 years, and I absolutely believe they
were destined for one another. My Dad said the first day he met my
mother, he knew that was his wife without uttering a single word to her.
When he finally spoke to her, the first thing he said was that he
wanted to marry her, and till date my mum believes that move was
shocking 
. Their journey is an inspiring one which gives me a lot hope despite the high divorce rates surrounding me.
. Their journey is an inspiring one which gives me a lot hope despite the high divorce rates surrounding me.
I thought deeply about ‘the soul mate
theory’ and why a number of people cannot find their soul mates. I also
read a number of articles giving conflicting views about this
phenomenon. Some believe that whoever you choose to be ‘the one’ is who
you make your soul mate, others believe there are thousands of match out
there for everyone with whom you can live reasonably happily with, I
believe there is a level of satisfaction and accomplishment you can only
attain with a particular person (PS : Not someone else’s husband or
wife oh!)
I know enough to understand that no
relationship is handed to anyone on a platter of gold, and no
relationship is perfect. However, I struggle to understand the term
‘irreconcilable differences’ (which is a very common phrase that somehow
convinces me that everyone who had mentioned it is clearly not
irrational), or why we have to date series of people before we finally
make up our minds.
Too many people have stated that ‘when
you know, you know’, clearly life is not random and there are no
coincidences. Another set of people will argue that you can only
discover something lasting from friendship which can make you guilty
about those you’ve locked up in the friend zone. But why should we
choose to settle in the first place with someone whom we know is not our
perfect fit?
There are a number of reasons as to why
people settle into a relationship that they know is less than ideal for
them. This happens for financial reasons, starting a family, family
pressure, social status, or, more often than not, we simply don’t want
to have to go through the hassle of breaking up, having to feel sad,
going through a healing process, and then people start dating all kinds
of “interesting” creatures all over again before they finally find one
decent person. But ‘decent’ does not necessarily equal ‘right’. We
reason, “If I’ve come this far, why would I want to go through all of
that again and start at square one?” Most people have a very real,
subconscious fear of being ALONE, and the word itself is dreaded. Simply
put, no one wants to be alone.
At other times, some of us just fall in
love too quickly and think “this is it!” Is it really? We often lose our
logic when it comes to love. But, I strongly believe in reading the
handwriting towards, and after an event, I believe in asking in prayer
when somebody wants you, I believe in paying attention to what people
around me say about a love interest. Eventually, everything makes sense!
I believe that everyone possesses that inner wisdom that guides them
about every individual they meet in life, but too many people are not
still enough to hear what the spirit is saying.
I read a comment on the Humans of
NewYork post which had my attention: I AM A DIVORCE ATTORNEY! I’ve been
doing this work for over ten years! I BELIEVE in LOVE! With all of my
heart! But I know that this guy is 100% correct. I “interview” all of my
clients. Have long talk with them. Prior, during, and months AFTER the
divorce. Mostly men. About how it started, what happened, when the
“love” really ended (it’s normally YEARS before the divorce is actually
filed), the feelings, thoughts, etc. Women (especially) create things in
their head and want to see things the way they want to! Often one of
the parties is “out” of it emotionally, spiritually, etc., but is
“afraid” to leave or say something. It may be because of fear to lose
access to their children (a lot of women use children to keep men), or
fear of financial ruin, etc. Women get married because their clock is
ticking, or they want children, or someone to take care of them, or they
want a princess wedding …sometimes because they think it’s love…And
men, if the sex is super good they lose their head. Or hey want to get
married because they feel they are in “love.” Or it’s time to finally
settle down because they’ve played long enough.
Most people don’t even know WHAT Love
is! Everybody thinks they are in love! But it’s passion–or heat! Many
men whom I speak to have been “done” years and years ago, but continue
to stay…and their women are unsuspecting. Some women know, but just
ignore the signs. Or people are just comfortable! They stay because it’s
easier to stay. No love. Is there true love? YES! Are there people who
are truly married to their compatible “love” partners and MUTUALLY feel
the same? Not many. That’s literally a true RARITY!
“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts
like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make
a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined
together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because
this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the
desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at
night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t
blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”,
which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in
love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
