No matter the challenges, Innoson Vehicles will continue to wax stronger till it becomes one of the leading vehicle manufacturing brands in the world automobile market.

Benue State Government Acquired Innoson Vehicles For Security

The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (The ICIR) spoke exclusively with Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi in Kaduna, where he spoke about the recent spate of insecurity in Nigeria, ranging from Boko haram terrorists, Abuja-Kaduna train abduction, attack on Kuje prison, recent threat video by terrorists and how he thinks the government can stem the tide of terror attacks in the country.

The ICIR: What is your comment on the now-viral video of the Kaduna-Abuja train attack terrorists torturing the kidnap victims? 

Gumi: There was a lady who was pregnant and they let her go to deliver and they kept her husband trying to show that they are civilised and trying to show that they are not fighting society but fighting the government. Then they negotiated for the release of their children. We are surprised that no matter how criminal a person would be what he is concerned about is underage children. That shows that there’s something underneath their agitations. Their children were released for a number of victims.

Then they requested a list of other prisoners who are still under detention. There was a stalemate, and they attacked the prison because they have intelligence. They budgeted huge amount of money for every victim.

For the first set group of victims, we were able to pay their money and they were released. There was a lady from Lagos, she was able to pay her money and she was released. Then another group, they were ready to pay for their relatives but they were prevented by the security. That prevention is what provoked them to attack the male victims.

The ICIR: In the light of a threat issued against the president and the governor of Kaduna state, what do you make of it?

Gumi: I have been there meeting with bandits, trying to show them, educate them because they are not educated. Where do you want them to get their morals ? Where do you want them to get their education and direction? Who is there to tell them what to do? Nobody! They are all uneducated and the offence society has done is to leave such a number of people uneducated without education, without budgetary concern for their education, their health, what they are doing, and what they are thinking. Nobody is concerned about them. This is negligence.

So, we talked about it, and I spoke with them. We didn’t get a listening ear from the press, the government or the population. They think we are cajoling and appeasing criminals. They are more than criminals; they are fighting you.

The ICIR: If you are to justify the payment of ransom to bandits and then looking at those victims who may not be able to afford it. What do you think should be the way forward?

Gumi: The government has left the issue now for the family to raise money and pay ransom for their individuals. But I think what the government needs to do is to put the round figure for everybody to be released. Then sit down with them and tackle the issue.

The ICIR: Justifying the payment of ransom?

Gumi: Nobody is justifying the payment of ransom but do we have options? You can’t give your enemy your money, but is there any way out?

The ICIR: If there’s no way out, would you say the government and the security architecture and even the security agencies have failed?

Gumi: Let me give you an example, if you go to Oxford University now, they will be conducting a PhD examination on any subject like mass communication. Okay now in Oxford, a mass communication exam is going on. Me that I’m in Nigeria, can you tell me that I failed the exam? Am I a student? How can you say I failed the exam?

What I’m trying to say is no security outfit is designed to tackle this issue. The army is very strong. The army can destroy this town in 15 minutes. The air force can devastate Kaduna if, given the go-ahead. They have that power. The tactics, they have it. But if I give you a hammer to kill a fly in this room, you may end up destroying my furniture and your camera, and you would not get the fly because a hammer is not meant for killing flies. But if I give you a rubber flexible swat which is cheaper than a hammer, you can easily get the fly. So, the question is not the army, is not DSS. These people are isolated in an island or in a forest.

The ICIR: Who or what is the problem?

Gumi: We don’t have the outfit to deal with them. One is a socioeconomic, political issue, you deal with it largely. The army is to give you the power and backing to do it.

When I went there, they thought the government was with me. All of them came, they tried to negotiate, but when I came, and they realised that the government was not with me, they continued their ways.

The ICIR: Would you say your hanging up the negotiation is worsening the situation? 

Gumi: Before, they have an iota of doubt whether there’s a genuine face that can dialogue with them but when they saw a clergyman like me who doesn’t have any interest in politics trying to convince them that this is a bad way of having hope that the government will listen to me but when the government didn’t listen to me, everybody finds his own way.

Focus: All Glory and Power Belongs to God

WORD FOR TODAY
One of those things you must not but always remember is that all kingdom, power and glory belong to God. You have not prayed until you acknowledge the supremacy of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." (Matthew 6:13b NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In everything you do, you must always have it at the back of your mind that all kingdoms, power and glory belong to God. When the Lord begins to decorate your life with splendour in whatever capacity in the land of the living, be mindful of the fact that whatever your life depicts is a subset or minute reflection of what God is, you are just a bearer of His glory.

The man who knows and believes that all kingdoms, power and glory belong to God will always humble himself before Him and live with the orientation that after God it is God and He is all in all. Nebuchadnezzar at a point came to this critical submission that all power belongs to God. We have seen people who have power, riches, estates and material possessions but left them when death came.

Only God is God and there is none like Him. There is nothing a man can do than what God allows him to do. Hence, live your everyday life declaring the fact that all Kingdoms, power and glory belong to God.

+ Do you live your life to acknowledge the fact that all Kingdoms, power and glory belong to God?

Lord! I worship your supremacy; for Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
The prayer of a man becomes incomplete until he acknowledges the fact that all Kingdoms, power and glory belong to God!!!

Have a Gracious Weekend!!!

All Glory And Power Belongs To God

To me,they were just another occultic society who worshiped Satan & demons. I wasn't interested in their satanic teachings.Never did I know,or think,or imagine of thinking,or conceived to imagine that I could walk into the temple of Eck one day & chant the word "Hu". However, it happened! The year was 2019 & I was very very thirsty 4 God & no religion was yet able 2 quench that thirst...thus,my quest 4 the light & sound of God began...

ANA CONGRATULATES CAMYNTA BAEZIE ON HIS EMERGENCE AS GAW PRESIDENT
Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) has congratulated Dr. Camynta Baezie on his emergence as the new President of the Ghana Association of Writers (GAW), as well as other newly elected national officials of the writers’ association, who emerged at the just concluded elections of the GAW.
Dr. Camynta Baezie polled 38 votes to defeat his challenger, Victor Nana Odei Ofei, who polled 23 votes in an election that was conducted by the Electoral Commission of Ghana. The election was held alongside the Annual Congress of the Ghana Association of Writers at its office, which also serves as the Diplomatic Headquarters of the Pan African Writers Association, PAWA.
A press statement signed by the President and General Secretary of ANA, Camillus Ukah and Maik Ortserga respectively, stated that the GAW election is worthy of commendation, especially with the calibre of persons who have emerged to lead the association. ANA through the release expressed optimism for a more cordial and robust working relationship between ANA and GAW under Dr. Camynta Baezie’s leadership. ANA finally wished Dr. Camynta Baezie and other elected executive members of the GAW national body a successful tenure.
The Ghana Association of Writers (GAW) has been in existence since 1957. After a long period following the overthrow of the First Republic, the resurgence of the organisation began in the 1970s and 1980s. GAW has overcome many challenges to run major literary programs.
The organisation’s aims include bringing together all writers – including those interested in writing creative literary content in Ghana – to create a forum for the study of Ghanaian literary heritage and the exchange of ideas, protect and advance the interests of Ghanaian writers, and foster the development of literature in Ghanaian and foreign languages. GAW focuses on encouraging the study, documentation and preservation of Ghanaian oral traditions and cultural elements, and awakening, cultivating and educating the literary consciousness of the Ghanaian public.
Furthermore, its aims include establishing and maintaining suitable relationships with other writers, writers’ organisations and allied institutions, as well as local and foreign publishers and the book world generally.

To ensure that a child's academic, social, and emotional development all coexist happily, educators and parents can collaborate. Numerous instructional games can help with this.
A good grade or a high exam score, as well as Math Games for 5th Grader, can assist our kids in achieving academic success. There is no justification for ignoring our kids' emotional and social growth. Parents and teachers place a lot of pressure on their students to succeed in life after high school to aid their children. However, this strain may be detrimental to children's mental health. In this case, finding a middle ground is critical. The growth of the full person must be given top priority. During your research, you have probably already run across toddler instructional games. Children must learn self-control and self-awareness if they are to become mature, responsible adults in the future. Kids' toddlerpreschooler learning gamesemphasize self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills, as well as responsible decision-making.
It's crucial to educate your child on the value of self-awareness at the appropriate age and through the appropriate teaching techniques.

Knowledge of the Subject Area
A child's emotional health is crucial for their growth into self-reliant adults. Kids'spelling games for kidsare a fantastic method to boost your child's confidence in their academic performance. These activities might help preschoolers feel good about themselves and develop self-confidence. As a result, they work harder and adopt a more upbeat attitude, both of which contribute to their academic success. Children with various learning difficulties may also benefit from special education programs that emphasize playing onlinesocial emotional learning activities for preschools. Improves group cohesiveness and leadership potential.

Children's learning games for math
Discovering and developing a child's unique abilities and areas of weakness is one of education's most important goals. Growing up involves accepting one's strengths as well as the strengths of others. In other words, people start to understand the bigger picture of working together and becoming successful as a team. Through this process, kids learn how to challenge their peers or other groups, like a sports team or a theatre troupe, to perform at their best. Online math games are a terrific learning tool for kids.

Increasing Sensitivity
Interpersonal skills are emphasized significantly in social-emotional education for preschoolers. The purpose of this program is to encourage kids to put other people's needs ahead of their own. Putting themselves in another person's shoes enables children to understand situations more fully and to see things from the perspective of the other party. Their ability to interact with others and their compassion for others are improved as a result. Our children will eventually learn to value charity as a result of this. They will first attempt to understand what is occurring before making any progress.

Elimination of Emotional Pain
Children's self-esteem soars when they exhibit high levels of social awareness and self-consciousness. This enlightenment dawns on them a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. Spending attention on their shortcomings is pointless. The secret to SEL is comprehending that everyone's needs are equally essential, learning to pay attention to your emotions and feelings, and pinpointing your areas for improvement. The child's emotional suffering is lessened by this knowledge.
is relaxing for social anxiety
Your youngster might develop into a genius but yet be socially awkward as an adult because they haven't learned how to interact with others. Work-life balance is important for several reasons, including the ability to network and build one's social status as well as the ability to speak confidently about one's skills and abilities when given new opportunities. Playing video games can assist kids with ADHD and other learning difficulties develop their social and emotional abilities.
For the benefit of your child, SEL activities can be carried out in a range of contexts, such as the family, classroom, and local community. Make an effort to encourage your kids to adopt healthy routines at home. Encourage children to express their emotions, create a gratitude journal, perform a kind act each day, schedule play dates, and do other activities. Teachers will push students to participate in extracurricular activities at school that encourage cooperation, learning how to share, and expressing one's ideas to foster goodwill toward others. Sports, art lessons, or other group activities may aid in your child's development of the social abilities required for success in the workplace.

Do You Believe Educational Games Are Helpful For Kids?

Those who are familiar with warfare, leadership, and even marathon races have had cause to believe that the last lap, phase or last wave of the war is always the toughest for leaders and those leading the war.

It is eminent because at this point, he/she is dealing with more than just the enemy without, he is been faced by the enemy within as well, therefore the pressure on him increases, however the goal doesn't change, to win, and gallantly so too.

The Governor Samuel Ortom administration took over in 2015, of course with a lot of expectations from the people, as the people had lost contact with those they had entrusted their mandate with. It goes without saying that Governor Ortom has in his own way bridged the gap between the electorates and the elected.

With the above, one would wish that Governor Ortom's last lap should be glorious without hassles, but of course that is only wishful, knowing that it beats history which is assumed to be influenced by human nature.

It is based upon this fact that as those of us who had the privilege of sharing the vision with the chief visioner in the early days of the project wish to restate our stand on the Ortom project.

HE Governor Samuel Ortom is already into the eleventh hour of his administration. At this point, there are those who are saboteurs, those whose intent is to betray, and then the opposing force from the opposition, all these with one aim, that Ortom doesn't end gallantly.

Premised upon the above, we wish to state clearly that it is our resolve going forward to rise up in support of Ortom, and while at this, we are also calling on all well meaning Benue sons and daughters, those with the interest of Benue at heart, and Nigerians in general to form a strong support base around Governor Samuel Ortom, to enable him end strongly.

His lone voice in the call for a restructured nation has not gone unnoticed, therfore, we have chosen to be the eleventh hour disciples of Governor Samuel Ortom and as part of our duties will not tolerate any form of attack on his administration, as the slightest form of same will be met with stiff resistance from us.

It is our prayer that God grants Governor Samuel Ortom the strength and wisdom to end strong and in good health too. . . Comrade Dan Nyikwagh, Convener #IStanWithOrtom

OLUWAFEMI MORGAN examines former state governors who lost their bid for second term in office and some factors that may have led to their defeat at the polls

> Globally, it’s a norm for political office holders to desire re-election, and Nigerian politicians are no exception. It’s a valid aspiration after all, as long as it doesn’t run foul of the law.

In Nigeria, one enviable class of such officer holders are governors. They are a powerful lot. The influence, paraphernalia of office, and almost unrestrained access to state funds have made the office very lucrative. Thus, incumbents go to any lengths to retain their seats for a second term. However, due to issues like intra-party crisis, unfulfilled promises, godfatherism and outright non-performance, some of them lost their re-election bid.

The recent governorship election in Osun State comes to mind in this regard. The governor of the state and candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the election, Adegboyega Oyetola, lost to Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party in the keenly contested poll.

A few days before the election, PDP’s former Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Diran Odeyemi, predicted APC’s defeat, saying the party was divided. He also said Oyetola had failed to deliver adequate security and the much-needed infrastructure for the state, especially in the education sector.

Osun as example

Oyetola will not be the first governor of the state to lose his second term bid. Former governor Bisi Akande, of the then Alliance for Democracy, lost to Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola of the PDP at the 2003 poll. The PUNCH reported that Akande had blamed the then President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, for influencing the elections to favour the PDP candidate. But Oyinlola argued that Akande lost because he fought with many people, including his deputy, Iyiola Omisore, and sacked many civil servants, among other issues.

While it is largely uncommon for governors to lose their re-election, given their influence and the huge resources at their disposal, some of them have suffered that fate between 1999 and now. According to a scholarly paper titled, ‘The quest for the second term and the crisis of democracy in Nigeria’, by Leke Ojo and Olawale Ariyo, accessed by our correspondent, the South-West states witnessed a wave of changes in 2003 when the Alliance for Democracy governors, Lam Adesina of Oyo State, Bisi Akande of Osun State, Olusegun Osoba of Ogun State, Niyi Adebayo of Ekiti State and Adebayo Adefarati of Ondo State lost at the ballot. Many of them accused Obasanjo of stifling their chances of being re-elected.

While they lost due to the supposed federal might, others like Celestine Omehia (Rivers), Rasheed Ladoja (Oyo), Oserheimen Osunbor (Edo), and some others lost their second term bid to election litigation, battles with political godfathers, internal party wrangling, and governance challenges.

Bindow Jibrilla (Adamawa)

In Adamawa State, former governor Bindow, an industrialist and member of the PDP, became the governor after defeating Boni Haruna of the APC in the 2015 election. He later defected to the APC, to secure his re-election in 2019 but lost to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the PDP.

Bindow was reported to have lost the election because many of the powerbrokers within the APC worked against him. The likes of a former governor, Murtala Nyako; former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal; former Lagos State military governor, Buba Marwa, were some of those who allegedly didn’t support him, while the senator representing Adamawa Central, Abdulaziz Nyako, at the time regarded Bindow as a loyalist of the then presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, despite his public allegiance to the then APC presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Chinwoke Mbadinuju (Anambra)

Mbadinuju was the first governor of Anambra State in the Fourth Republic. The PDP chieftain was one of the few governors who did not return to office in 2003. It was reported that he was excluded from the contest by the machinations of Obasanjo, and his political godfather, Chris Uba. Mbadinuju tried again by defecting to the Alliance for Democracy but he lost to Dr Chris Ngige, then of the PDP. Ngige also failed to secure a second-term bid in the 2007 elections due to the overbearing influence of his godfathers. Ngige, now the Minister of Labour and Employment, told The PUNCH in 2022 that political godfathers removed him because he refused “opening” the state treasury for them.

Mohammed Abubakar (Bauchi)

In Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar of the APC won in 2015 but he was unable to repeat the same feat in the 2019 elections, as he was defeated by Bala Mohammed of the PDP. Abubakar claimed in a BBC Hausa interview that he lost the poll to the PDP because of electoral irregularities. However, pundits blamed his defeat on the slow execution of road projects, non-payment of the entitlements of civil servants, and the rumour that a cabal wielded too much influence in the state.

Nevertheless, the former Special Adviser on Media to the former governor, Ali Ali, said, “Every politics is local, the local variables will determine whether you win or not. In Bauchi politics, there is always the Abuja group and the local group. It was the Abuja group that ganged up against him. He was not answerable to them.” He said the powerbrokers fought Abubakar to a standstill. “If you ask the average person in Bauchi, they will tell you that he was a nice person but he couldn’t manage the Abuja group,” he added.

Timipre Sylva (Bayelsa)

Sylva as a PDP member became the governor of Bayelsa State in 2008, succeeding Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan, who served as governor from 2005 to 2007, was nominated to be the running mate of Umaru Yar’Adua. Sylva struggled to keep his governorship position as the court nullified the election that brought him to power in April 2008. He regained his position in May of the same year, through the courts, but was not able to run for a second term in office. It was reported that Sylva blamed the development on the irreconcilable differences between him and Jonathan.

Oserheimen Osunbor (Edo)

Former governor of Edo State, Prof Oserheimen Osunbor, assumed office in 2007 on the platform of the PDP. He was however removed from office by the election tribunal due to voting irregularities. This made the court declare his victory invalid and his certificate of return withdrawn while Adams Oshiomole of the Action Congress of Nigeria was declared the winner of the election. Osunbor took the matter to the Appeal Court, but Oshiomhole’s victory was affirmed.

Niyi Adebayo (Ekiti)

The current Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Niyi Adebayo, was the governor of Ekiti State from 1999 to 2003. Adebayo, who was governor on the platform of the AD, told journalists during the 2022 Ekiti governorship election that he would not have lost the 2003 election if it had been credible like the June 18, 2022 election.

Abubakar Hashidu (Gombe)

Abubakar Hashidu was the governor of the state in 1999 on the platform of the All Peoples Party. He however lost his re-election bid to Danjuma Goje of the PDP. Hashidu re-contested in 2007 as the standard bearer of the Democratic Peoples Party but lost again to Goje. He later died in July 2018.

Ikedi Ohakim (Imo State)

Ohakim became the governor of Imo State on the platform of the Progressive Peoples Alliance from 2007 to 2011. Although the election was alleged to be fraught with violence, he was declared the winner of the poll. While many of his loyalists claim that he developed the state, provided quality infrastructure and put in place a strong policy against kidnapping and criminality, his critics said he was wasteful with the resources of the state.

Idris Wada (Kogi)

Wada of the PDP was the Governor of Kogi State from 2011 to 2015 but lost his re-election to Yahaya Bello of the APC in 2016. Pundits said Wada lost the election because of his inability to pay workers’ salaries. He was also accused of having a hand in the sacking of council chairmen and councillors in December 2014 by the High Court. This contributed to the dissatisfaction of political stakeholders in his party.

Wada however accused the Buhari-led government of playing politics with the bailout the state asked for to pay outstanding salaries. He said the refusal of the Federal Government to release the money caused financial hardship for the residents who voted against him.

Mohammed Lawal (Kwara)

The late Lawal was elected as the governor of Kwara State from 1999 to 2003 on the platform of the All Peoples Party. The suspended Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission, Is’haq Modibbo-Kawu, recalled that while Lawal was in office, he was accused of trying to whittle down the influence of the emir and the emirate.

This rumour was allegedly peddled by his estranged political godfather, whose son eventually became the governor. Lawal ran for re-election in 2003 but failed because he was up against the political structure of his godfather, and the federal might of the Obasanjo-led PDP.

Akinwumi Ambode (Lagos)

Ambode became the governor of Lagos State in April 2015. His re-election bid in 2019 was frustrated by party chieftains, led by the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who ensured that he lost the party’s primary. Tinubu admitted in the run-up to the primary that Ambode did well as governor but wasn’t a good party man. Babajide Sanwo-Olu eventually won with 970,851 votes against Ambode’s 70,901 votes at the primaries. The PUNCH reported that Ambode told journalists at the Aso Villa in May 2019 that he was more of a technocrat than a politician at the time he was governor of the state. “Politicians learn every day; the fact remains that I came in as a technocrat, but I think I am wiser now.”

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairman of the PDP in Lagos, Benedict Tai, told our correspondent that Ambode was sidelined because he refused to bow to the overbearing dictates of Tinubu and other party chieftains.

He said, “They said Ambode did not carry party leaders along, but Ambode did what was good for the generality of the residents of Lagos. He was the governor of Lagos State not the governor of APC leaders, and in doing the right thing for Lagos, he did not get the ticket to run for a second term.”

Olusegun Osoba (Ogun)

Osoba was the governor of the state in 1999 on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy. He lost the 2003 governorship election to Otunba Gbenga Daniel of the PDP. In January 2022, Osoba recalled circumstances that led to his electoral loss. At the launch of a book, titled ‘Colour of Perception’ by his Chief Press Secretary, Kayode Odunaro, he said his second term bid was truncated because of an existing “electoral conspiracy” that removed him from office in 2003. He also stressed that the results were manipulated to favour the PDP.

Six-year single term

The 1999 Constitution (as amended) does not make two terms mandatory for any political office, but it has become a do-or-die for most, not so much, arguably, for the desire to impact lives, but out of the need to remain in office and enjoy the perks, as evidenced in the country’s level of development today.

Considering the high-level politicking that made some governors lose re-election, two political scientists, Leke Oke and Ojo Ariyo recommended in their paper a single term of six years to reduce the conflict and unhealthy competition in the political space. The scholars stressed that this would also go a long way to reducing the cost of conducting general elections. This aligns with the view of Jonathan when he also proposed a six-year single tenure.

“The single term has the capability of growing and stabilising the country’s democracy. The citizens should be well educated and nurtured in democratic governance so as to regard election or succession as a simple exercise and not a ‘do-or-die affair. The monetisation of democratic government should be greatly reduced to pave the way for more dividends of democracy to the citizenry,” the paper read.

However, a public affairs analyst and convener of a non-governmental organisation, Dialogue 365, Waheed Saka, disagreed with the political scientists. Speaking with Sunday PUNCH, he noted that Nigerians were more interested in linking the tenure of a government to its achievements of basic dividends of democracy and economic interventions than the years spent in the office.

He also said Oyetola and Ambode lost their second term bids not because they did not perform well in office but because they were not traditional politicians who could manage the various interests in their parties. According to Saka, the negative perception of the APC at the centre, the factionalisation of the party between the former governor and current Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola and Oyetola, the non-payment of salary areas, the negative perception, and the hardship brought upon the people by the APC at the centre led to Oyetola’s loss. He added that public perception would go a long way in determining the outcome of the ballot even if the credibility of the poll was not in question.

Speaking on the idea of the six-year single tenure, he said, “I don’t agree with six years single term. Nigerians love to experiment. In Osun State, the margin between the person who emerged as the next governor and the incumbent is just 28,000. The winner got over 400,000 votes and the runner-up got 375,000 votes, which shows that we have about 28,000 votes waiting around for the next government to fail. It is unfortunate that whether it is a six years single term or two tenures of four years each, our politics and style remain different.

“There is a need for us to look beyond politicking and electioneering and link our electoral process to development. That is when the tenure will be reasonable to the people. The pain and the pangs of the citizens at the moment will not make any experimentation work. People want basic things, education, healthcare, minimal inflation, and good roads. People don’t actually care whether you use 10 years in government.”

Intrigues That Made Oyetola, Other Govs Lose Second Term Bids

All they were able to tell us is that they entered the vehicle and came to Ondo State.

What is the secret to glowing skin? Well, for many it differs but there are a few products that are guaranteed to help you get your glow on. Check out these must-have Nigerian beauty products.
Skin is the largest organ in our body and it has many important functions in protecting the body against infection and excessive water loss. Its other functions are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation and the production of vitamin D (an important vitamin for healthy bones and teeth).

Pollutants, dirt, chemicals in water, makeup, and a non-healthy diet and hormonal disorders all contribute to accumulation of toxic substances inside our bodies and in our skin. It shows up on our faces with signs of blemishes, redness, inflammation and dry scaly unhealthy skin. But fear not, there are plenty of ways you can be kinder to your skin.

A regular daily skin care routine can reverse and limit these changes and brighten skin and reduce the signs of skin damage induced by toxins.

Pei Mei Brightening Vitamin C Serum

This beauty product is on the shelves on anybody who knows their stuff and wants to be kinder to their skin. Vitamin C serum's are all the rage now and here's why.

Vitamin C is a potent anti-oxidant that neutralizes free radicals, which are generated by our bodies when exposed to certain conditions, including pollution and UV rays. Serums with vitamin C also stimulate collagen production, which slows as we age.

Vitamin C has also been found to help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of under-eye circles. This is great for those who are tired of trying to conceal the dark circles under their eyes and want to enjoy a more youthful, bright, and vibrant appearance.

In addition to its anti-ageing benefits, topical vitamin C is also great for protecting your skin from damage—especially from the sun's UVA and UVB rays. That's because vitamin C is an antioxidant, so it naturally helps to strengthen your skin and repel things that could damage it. Of course, topical vitamin C should not be considered an alternative to wearing sunscreen, but when combined with using SPF regularly, it can really work wonders for your skin.

Simple Protect 'N' Glow Detox & Brighten Clay Mask 50 Ml

The use of clay topically for soothing and healing the skin, and even for internal medicinal uses traces back throughout ancient history. This product is backed up by thousands of years of beauty history so it's guaranteed to work its magic on your worn-out skin.

Throughout the day, dirt, oil, pollution, and other impurities can build up on the surface of your skin, leaving your skin feeling rough, not to mention making your pores appear larger. Whether you want to realize it or not, dead skin cells also accumulate on the skin’s surface and, if they aren’t properly sloughed away, can lead to breakouts down the line.

That’s why it’s important to exfoliate regularly and deep clean your skin to remove any buildup that may be lingering on your skin (hey, it’s kind of gross, but it happens to all of us!). A clay mask can help draw out the buildup of these impurities for skin that feels clean and pure.

If your complexion is looking duller than you would like, it’s time to look on the bright side and give Orma Skincare's glow clay masks a go. Overall skin dullness is often a result of lack of proper exfoliation and skin maintenance, but using a clay mask just like this for just 10 minutes a few times a week can help keep your complexion looking fresh and bright.

Incorporate this product into your weekly skin routine and see the difference as your skin look more radiant and feels cleaner than ever.

Applesbite understands the meeting is between the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) members and former national publicity secretaries, state and zonal publicity secretaries and other key stakeholders.

“This would go a long way to create communication and publicity structures and strategies for our party and, of course, for our nation because when we get into government, we believe that this body would be a permanent fixture in such a way that there will be consultation.”

Ologunagba revealed that the meeting restated confidence in the national chairman of the party and the NWC in their running of the affairs of the party.

He said: “The meeting restates confidence in the capacity, experience and competence of Atiku Abubakar to rescue, redirect and rebuild this country to earn the respect of the international community.

After nine months of dating, American socialite and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian and her comedian boyfriend Pete Davidson have called it quits. 

Since making their relationship publicly known, the pair have engaged in several displays of affection, the most of which have been caught on camera.

According to insiders who spoke exclusively to Pagesix.com, Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian broke up earlier this week due to their age difference.

Pete is 28 and Kim is 41; they are simply in very different places right now." Pete is completely spontaneous and wants her to move to New York or wherever he is at any given time. But Kim has four children, so it's not that easy. "She has to concentrate on the kids," a source stated. 

According to the insider, Kardashian, who owns many businesses and has her own reality show, is "completely fed up of this relationship and other things going on in her life." 

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star recently had a turbulent relationship with her ex husband, Kanye West, which caused strife throughout her relationship with Pete Davidson.

The source continued, "Kanye can have issues with the kids when Kim is with someone else. He employs a divide and rule strategy. He can't help it.

Kim is a devoted parent who always puts her children first. She needs and desires peace in her life and at home.

Kardashian and Davidson met when she hosted "Saturday Night Live" in October 2021. They began dating the following month and have been spending time apart lately because Davidson has been in Australia filming a new movie.

“When we kissed, I was just like ‘Mmm!’ It was a stage kiss, but it was still a little zing,” the SKIMS founder later said of kissing the comedian in a sketch on the late-night show.

However, Kardashian — who filed for divorce from West, 45, in February 2021 — wasn’t sure if the spark was anything special.

“I was like, ‘Wow, I really haven’t kissed anyone else in 10 years, so maybe I’m just like being stupid and it’s nothing, it’s just a stage kiss,’” she added.

Kardashian and West tied the knot in May 2014 and share four children: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

Davidson, who was once engaged to Ariana Grande, recently talked about his "dream" to become a dad one day.

"I'm definitely a family guy. My favourite thing ever, which I’ve yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid,” he stated last month on Peacock's Hart to Heart show, which is hosted by renowned American comedian Kevin Hart.

Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson Call It Quits After 9 Months Of Relationship

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike says his government has received an intelligence report that politicians in the state have allegedly started recruiting cultists and ex-convicts to be used as political thugs before and during next year’s general elections.

Governor Wike in a state broadcast said the reports also indicated that meetings for such recruitment are being held in hotels and other entertainment centres around the state.

He warned that his administration will not allow any politician, despite his past or present status or political leaning, to upset the relative peace which the security agencies have struggled to maintain in Rivers State.

26,000 PDP Supporters Decamp To APC From 4 Zuru Emirate Lgas

Most Nigerians do to appreciate the magnitude of the problem Nigeria is faced with. Because those leading the country are mentally lazy and unable to create avenues for wealth creation, they often look at the citizens pockets .

The only 2 options they have to raise funds is either they borrow, or they look for new was to tax Nigerians. They have increased taxes on data, calls, beverages etc. But that still is insufficient to keep the country moving.

Its no news that our debt burden have surpassed our income, and we borrow to pay salaries. What else is left of a nation moving in this direction? Collapse and anarchy.

So all Nigerians residing in Nigeria, and campaigning for one presidential candidate or the orther, what is your survival strategy?

Tinubu can relocate to London. 

Atiku can relocate to dubai.

Peter Obi can relocate to london.

What becomes of you and your family?

You have seen where APC have taken Nigeria to, from 2015 - 2023.

You have witnessed the dollar ride from 200- 700, rice from 7000 - 30,000, diesel from 180- 800, flight from 15,000 - 75,000. Etc.

So what is your survival plan, when this engine finally grinds to a halt?

How Will You Survive The Total Collapse Of Nigeria?

Nigerians Woke up on the 26th of July to meet an announcement from The Headies Award stating their Disqualification of Nigerian Singer Portable from all Nominated Categories in the forthcoming Award Ceremony: the Headies 2022 scheduled to hold on 4th September. The news made the headline and trend for a few days and the Nigerian Music Listeners were divided between those who support the Disqualification of Portable by the Award organizers and those who don't. TrendyBeatz, as an unbiased platform, analyzes the disqualification and why it might be unfair in this article.

Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable and whom the streets adore as Omo Olalomi, came into the music limelight last December after one of his videos went viral. It was the perfect time when the street sounds needed a street music evangelist to reboot the wobey sound that has suffered a decline after the emergence of the afro-pop new generation of artists.

The video garnered massive acceptance and the lingua laced with the song "Zazoo Zeh" became the new slang. He enjoyed fame to the point that Olamide Badoo, whom the industry knows as the voice of the street collaborated with him, alongside Poco Lee. And ever since then, he has been the subject of virality - always in the news.

If portable isn't on the road creating scenes, he's somewhere behind his camera creating videos on Instagram throwing abusive words in Yoruba laced with curses and with the usual word standing out - "Akoi" (whatever that means)

Portable And Headies Disqualification Saga: The Backstory

Recall that on May 24, Portable bagged two nominations in two categories for the Headies Awards. One of them is the Rookie Of The Year category, in which are also nominated Fave, Ugoccie, AV, and Magixx. The other nomination is the Best Street Hop Artiste category, alongside the likes of Bella Shmurda, Mohbad, Naira Marley, etc.

Unfortunately, the usual Portable drama series got another plot twist on Tuesday when his usual antics of controversy took its toll on him. Earlier before the plot twist, Portable had received a public warning message from Headies to retract a statement he made after he released a controversial video on May 28. In the video making rounds on social media, Portable was seen uttering death-threatening words at his co-nominees, the singer said: “Those are my awards, anybody else who wins I will ask for them to be killed. I will ask them to kill the person. If the organizers give my award to someone else, they will die,” he said in Yoruba. “No go give my award to another person, he go die o.”

Immediately, Portable quickly released another video of him apologizing to Smooth Productions, the organizers of the Headies Awards, refuting everything he said and also acclaiming his craziness. He said: “Headies don nominate “madman” olorin. Streets ti take over. So make una give us our award o.

“No vex, bros! Bros, no vex! If I f*ck up, no be me first dey f*ck up. Plenty people don dey f*ck up. Abeg, I wan collect my award.”
It didn't stop there. Recently, Portable released another video of him shouting with all confidence that he established the notorious vicious gang, popularly known as "One million Boys". The video triggered a lot of online reactions and also made the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, order the Lagos police commissioner, Abiodun Alabi, to investigate Portable’s claim of being the leader of the two vicious gangs, and to take necessary legal actions on his claim.

Sometimes in June, a video also showed him and some of his guys seemingly assaulting a man called DJ Chicken. This scene was recorded somewhere in the Ilogbo area of Ogun State. This also got the state police’s attention. On June 20, Portable was ordered to turn himself in at the nearest police station which he complied with and was interrogated, then released on bail.

Headies Resolution: A Right Decision?

After the accumulations of all Portable's drama and controversial behaviors, The Headies finally announced that they have disqualified the singer from the categories in which he was nominated for the 15th Headies Awards scheduled to take place in Atlanta this September.

Just after the news of the final resolution by the most reputable and biggest global awards for Afrobeat Music in Africa, The Headies, the news sparked a lot of discussions and reactions online about how the resolution is the best and how it's not.
The Unpopular Opinion: Is It Not The Right Decision? One good thing to note is that, while this looks like a good move, Headies Award criteria, however, have never stated anywhere near the requirements that good character off the mic, is also a prerequisite for the honors. And if we are taking a moral stand now, and not separating the art from the artist, then fairness should swing the hammer fairly.

If we look across the nominations list. Are those people on the lists all saints and angels? Sugar, spice, and everything nice? A real salt of the earth collective?

Award shows like The Headies should not be gatekeepers of morality. The job is to cast shiny trophies and hand them over to people who have shown artistic distinction. A music award show.

A platform to celebrate artistic brilliance and not a moral tool for censoring behavior.

However, a second thought on the matter says otherwise: If such acts displayed incessantly by Portable are indulged, will it not be a bad representation of the value culture in the music industry? A bad influence on the little ones?

Do you think that's the best punishment for Portable's waywardness? Or do you think instead of punishing him with disqualification, he should be banned from traveling to the United States with the team to attend the award ceremony? Thereby, reprimanding the artist instead of the art.

What are your thoughts?

Headies Disqualification Of Portable Is Possibly Unfair, Do You Agree?
