Dominic Auricchio is a 13-year-old Catholic boy from New Jersey who has felt called to become a priest since he was just four years old. He says that when he was four, he had a dream where God told him he was meant to be a priest.
Years later, Dominic developed a serious brain mass and began having seizures. During that difficult time, he saw the Blessed Virgin Mary, who reassured him that everything was going to be okay. Not long afterward, doctors discovered that the mass had unexpectedly started shrinking on its own, without surgery.
Keep the Blessed Mary close in your life. Ask her to watch over your family. She is capable of wondrous things. 🥰

Hassan drops more exposẹ́.
He said bandits collected guns and ammunition at Senator Buba's house before the Benue Massacre.
He risked his life to capture secret videos, and the same Senator was later sent by President Tinubu to pay condolence visit after the attack.
Do you know these two people?
How many people are shocked like me that these people are couple??
Oh my God! See me blushing watching them. This is so beautiful.
Who sang these song self?
Ageless couple!!!
A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

Dear Lagosians,
If the last 27 years have taught you ANYTHING, anything at all, it should be this:
"Ojú bọ̀ọ̀rọ̀ ò gb'ọmọ l'ọ́wọ́ èkùrọ́".
The next elections really are about your future and that of your children.
I assure you, that in the competent, compassionate and capable hands of @GRVlagos and myself, Lagos State can be so much more than it is right now, and Lagosians should not be begging for their pension or anything else for that matter.
Lagos TRULY has no business with poverty, homelessness or hunger, and yet, here we are today.
We all want to take Lagos State to the next level, to even greater than the late great Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande took it.
To do that, we must resist the devils, and they shall surely flee before us, and together, we can Make Èkó Great Again. #MEGA2027
No more Mister Nice Guy.
Warmest Regards,

I was heartbroken to learn about these students today.
Their dad had both kidneys fail and no one could fund their education. They were forced to drop out of school in December last year.
Their names are Emmanuella Ngaha and Jason Ngaha. They came by themselves from Owerri to Enugu this morning to attend our 2-week intensive bootcamp.
They were both high-flying students at Ambassador College, Ota. The boy was the best in Maths and Chemistry in SS1, and the girl has won so many national awards.
Today they are out of school with no hope of continuing.
They decided to use their last ₦24,000 to take a bus to Enugu to attend the bootcamp.
Unfortunately, this morning they were defrauded of the ₦24,000, which left them with no option but to beg for transport support until someone helped them.
A lot of young, bright children are going through a lot that is beyond their control.
We can’t let these bright stars lose their shine because of challenges beyond their control.
Let me pray this for someone out there. It’s not for everyone. “Very soon, those who did not believe in you, and looked down on you, will look up to you.” And when that time comes, instead of paying them back, you will do them good and show mercy”
See how these mothers welcomed Our Lady of Fatima into their parish community 🥺. I love this so much.
We love Mary ❤️.
Happy Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! 🌹👑❤️
O Mary, assumed into Heaven, pray for us!
When a priest is celebrating Mass, and he has started with the preface/Eucharistic prayer, he is never permitted to stop the sacrifice even if there is war. He had better die than stop.
He must finish it. That's what this video tries to explain to you.
Pray for your priest.
This was a rare emotional moment when a little boy refused to let go. The boy cried throughout their time together, even as Peter Obi was ready to leave Parklane in Enugu State.
This is what sets him apart. His natural affinity with the rich & the poor, the young & the old.
There is an aura that precedes him. It filters in & sort of remains in the air. Everywhere he goes, people follow him. They embrace him, as if he is one of them. They see hope, as if he is the deliverer. But he is just a man. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot conjure what it takes.
🫶😭❤️
Please watch this video of the interview done with Monsignor (professor) Obiora Francis Ike.
He is a Roman Catholic priest, a scholar and human rights activist.
Professor Obiora is the founder of the Switzerland based Catholic institute for development justice and peace.
The Catholic priests are not slowing down and I’m absolutely loving it.
Rehabilitate Existing Infrastructure Before Embarking on New Projects
I have consistently advised governments at all levels to prioritise rehabilitating existing infrastructure before embarking on new projects that may also end up abandoned or left unfinished. For expressing this position, I have often been criticised and called all sorts of names. Yet, it remains the most responsible approach to governance.
It is therefore noteworthy that President Bola Tinubu has now cautioned state governors against committing scarce public resources to constructing unnecessary flyovers in areas with little traffic while neglecting more pressing developmental needs.
The President is, in essence, saying what I have always maintained: government must prioritise projects that directly address the immediate needs of the people. I hope those ministers, officials, and supporters who have consistently attacked this position will now direct the same criticism at him.
However, this admonition must also apply to the Federal Government. There are several unrealistic and white-elephant projects being pursued by the current administration, even as much of our critical infrastructure remains in a state of disrepair. Given our present fiscal realities, priority should be given to rehabilitating and completing existing infrastructure rather than embarking on expensive new projects with limited immediate impact.
Across Nigeria, many of our major highways linking commercial centres and food-producing communities have deteriorated into death traps. Neglecting these critical roads while pursuing prestige projects is neither economically prudent nor people-centred.
This philosophy guided my administration as Governor of Anambra State. I prioritised completing viable projects initiated by my predecessors before embarking on new ones. Government is a continuum, and development should never be measured by who starts a project, but by whether it is completed and serves the people.
Leadership is about making the right choices: fixing what is broken, completing what has already been started, and investing limited public resources where they will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Hello !
You might just need this.
Please Read.
When you work with a leader or someone that stretches you beyond your comfort zone, and truly wants you to be a better version of yourself,
You have no idea what God is doing for you.
My late mentor, Pastor Eskor Mfon was never really
a professional musician per se, but was a great worshipper and one that had an ear for good music.
He would come into our choir room after we had spent hours rehearsing. He’d sit, cross His legs, rest his jaws on his palm, close his eyes and listen to what we had done. After a while, he’d shake his head, smile and heave an interesting sigh “aaaaahhhh !”, and then say to us “okay okay well done o, but we can’t give God this kind of worship tomorrow, let’s start again…” And believe me, another 2-3 hours of work…. He’d tell us, “you know we can’t take people to a place we have not been to ourselves…”
He would share scriptures, explain what ministry was all about, then sit with us as we slugged it out.
Anyway, those days would later become the foundation of my music ministry today.
Hmmm, There were days I thought “this stress is just too much” just to lead worship ??? But what did I know ? Poor boy ! My eyes opened one day, and I caught it.
The inheritance I got from him was not money and material things, even though he took good care of us. But the values, principles, work ethic, mind shift, wisdom, spiritual intelligence and understanding, emphasis on prayer, word, purity, integrity, character, excellence etc.
Today I honour him everywhere I go, because in hindsight, He was God sent - To a young man who only had talent, but with very little or no sense of direction.
So, to anyone out there, connecting with this post and perhaps in a similar place, I say receive GRACE to maximize the moment. Learn and glean all you can now, never despise the process, instead appreciate and honour it. For not everyone is privileged to have another man or woman who leave their own thing to sit on your matter, just to make sure you excel in life. It is a blessing !
And in case it appears to be taking longer than it should, may be, just maybe. you are cut out for the BIG TIME. And in no distant future we would be reading your own inspiring story.
But Please note ! Only make sure the person or leader is one that meets the criteria above - I.e, one who truly desires to see a better version of you and wants you to fulfill your prophetic destiny. And Not just one who seeks to hijack your life, control it and put in under lock and key.
Blessings

I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is “useful.”
A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.
A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.
English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.
The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.
The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.
