Dear Catholics :
It's not a service, it's a liturgy.
It's not a robe, they are vestments.
It's not wine, it's the Blood of Jesus Christ
It's not bread, it's the Body of Jesus Christ,
Its not a table, it's an altar
It's not a song, it's a hymn.
It's not a poem, it's a psalm
It's not a preacher, it's a priest
It's not only a personal relationship, it's a convenantal relationship
I love being Catholic, it's our life and lifestyle..

I’ve been deeply invested in this project from the start, and I could foresee the outcome even before the rain set in. If we can’t get the basics right, then we still have a long road ahead. What we’re seeing now is the result of a so‑called world‑class project recently executed and frankly, it’s nothing short of ridiculous. @lagosstategovt@drobafemihamzat @jidesawoolu
A landmark moment for Nigeria's infrastructure story. 🇳🇬
The Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, has been officially handed over to its private sector concessionaire under a Public-Private Partnership arrangement facilitated by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC).
The concessionaire, Aero Alliance Limited, will rehabilitate the passenger terminal, construct a new cargo facility, and upgrade the airport to international standards — with US$60 million in private investment and zero cost to the government.
Direct flights from Enugu to China are on the horizon. Enugu Air is expanding its fleet to 20 aircraft. The South-East is open for business.
This is what happens when regulation meets vision. This is the Renewed Hope Agenda in action.

I have friends who are older and very fit because of their lifestyle. They don't drink or smoke and exercise daily. They also have the most unfit kids who don't follow their example. This has always worried me as I am raising young children. I have also seen families with hard-working and wealthy parents who raise the laziest and most entitled children.
We always want our children to do better than us, but when and where does this go wrong for most people? I think it comes from the time and attention we personally give our kids and the lapses we allow.
My wife and I are early risers. I have a particular sleep problem I am still trying to solve, but my kids can sleep all day on vacation if you let them. A friend with an older son who had just graduated and was back home, jobless, used to tell me how alarmed he was that the son would go out all night, come back early in the morning, and sleep all day.
I told him then that if he didn't force him to change that habit, he would remain jobless and stay with his parents longer. They eventually forced him to change, and he moved out. He has a job now and struggles a lot. His parents are concerned that he isn't thriving. He is now almost 30, and I think about this all the time. At 25, I was a beast and had started many businesses.
While we want our kids and young adults to experience life on their own terms in a world vastly different from the one we grew up in, we can't help but notice that others whose children were more disciplined are thriving better. One indicator I have seen that correlates with success in younger people is fitness.
A friend’s son started going to the gym regularly, and he even inspired his cousins to do so. I checked on LinkedIn recently, and he is doing exceptionally well as a lawyer and investment banker without any family connections or assistance. His younger cousins, who are looking up to him, are following in his footsteps. I decided to get my kids to spend more time with him.
The role models our children need may be closer to their age than ours. It is why we need to amplify the lifestyles of young, disciplined, and successful people more. Not every person will make it through creative pursuits. I stress this to my kids all the time. There are billions of YouTube channels, but there is only one MrBeast or IShowSpeed.
Social media is highlighting more unrealistic role models than the most useful ones. My daughter is likely one of the most intelligent young children that I know, but because she doesn't want to be seen as a nerd, she is adapting to popular culture to blend in, in a way that scares me. This sometimes affects the way she learns. While I don't want to restrict her now from experiencing the world, I have realized that she needs different role models.
My son’s role models are nerds, and he nerds out in ways that surprise me and it is also worrying. We can be watching a movie, and he goes online to research it and summarise the plot so he can leave to code. He is not experiencing life enough outside the internet.
They will either eventually be ok in a world very different from ours or struggle in a world that becomes worse than ours, without the skills to build personal resilience and strong social skills.
I recently had a personal experience that made me realize I was fortunate to have left home early and to have different role models from my parents. Having a broken home led to different outcomes for my siblings and me, but the fact that I had strong personalities like my mother’s uncle and the uncles I grew up around helped me learn a lot more about life and priorities.
The world is a very complex place, and life is not a bed of roses. While we want the best outcomes for our kids, we have to finally admit that they will learn far more from others than they will ever learn from us. The best thing we can do for them is expose them to the right kind of people early enough, then hope and pray that we didn't misread those people.

Most Nigerians know Dongoyaro as that bitter tree people boil for malaria, use as a chewing stick, or plant around their homes for shade.
But this same tree can make insects “forget” how to eat, naturally protect crops without chemicals, preserve wood from termites for years, and has earned a reputation as one of the most useful trees on Earth?
The best part?
Almost every part of the tree - from its leaves to its seeds and bark has a purpose.
Interesting facts about Dongoyaro( Neem Tree)
• Dongoyaro, also known as the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica), gets its popular Hausa name from dogo yaro, meaning “tall boy”, because of its fast, upright growth.
• The tree produces a natural compound called azadirachtin that disrupts the growth and reproduction of many insect pests, making it one of nature’s most famous pesticides.
• Instead of relying on a single chemical, neem contains many different bioactive compounds that help protect the tree from insects and disease.
• Long before modern toothbrushes became common, people used neem twigs as chewing sticks because they release natural antibacterial substances while you chew them.
• The tree thrives in extremely hot, dry conditions and is widely planted in parts of Northern Nigeria to help fight desertification.
• Crushed neem leaves and seeds have been used traditionally to protect stored grains and farm soils from certain pests.
• Neem wood is naturally resistant to many insects, including termites, which makes it valuable for outdoor use.
• The tree has been used in traditional medicine for centuries across Asia and Africa, earning the nickname “the village pharmacy.”
• Neem seed oil is very concentrated and should be used carefully, especially around children and animals.
• Unlike many harsh chemical pesticides, neem products are generally considered less harmful to many beneficial insects and other animals when used appropriately.
• Farmers often plant neem around homes and farms because it provides shade, improves the environment, and helps reduce pest pressure naturally.
• The United Nations once described the neem tree as one of the most promising trees of the 21st century because of its potential in agriculture, health, and environmental protection.
• A mature neem tree can survive drought, poor soils, and intense heat that would stress many other trees.
A Neem tree can live and produce fruit for up to 200 years!
Neem tree is one of the wonders of nature, when next you see Neem tree or Dogoyaro say a silent thank you bcs it's a wonderful tree beneficial for mankind.
Happy Weekend

President Tinubu: We must not undermine our country with irresponsible reporting. If we do, we will have no safe space left, especially at a time when our nation is tackling security threats, neutralizing thousands of criminal elements, and rescuing hostages. The media should not become an amplifier for those who wish to harm us.
There is always tension between the government and the press, but that is the nature of democracy. The government must act, the media must watch, the government must explain, and the media must question.

I’ve been seeing the cars submerged in water because of the recent heavy rainfalls… Let me give us some guiding tips..
It is usually an unprecedented situation as most of us don’t plan to encounter floods or any form of being stranded.
If you happen to find your car submerged unanticipatedly, if the water level at least goes beyond the level of the tyre..
1.) Switch off the engine immediately… Just switch it off
2) Try and go out of the car for your own safety, for cars wired electronically such that the doors or windows may not function because of the water, you can break through the window with your head rest on the car seat, your car seats are designed in such a way that you can detach them, remove it and break the glasses to find your way out
3) If the rain, flood abates, do not try to start or crank your engine immediately, this is where most people have issues with their cars
4) It is important that you try and drain the engine oil immediately and service it at that point, while not making any attempt to ignite or start the engine..
5) Try and leave the car for about 2-3 days without doing anything, just leave it to dry off, if it is on the main road or obstructing traffic, put your gear lever on the Neutral position, for both manual and automatic transmissions and push it off the road, remember, do not try to ignite the car
From experience and a professional angle, you may not have to spend a dime on the car for repairs, the car will come up after 48hours if you do not try to crank it from the inception of the flood or rain.
It might be too much if a sacrifice to wait but it will save you a whole lot of expenses..
Worst case scenario, tow the car to your house or anywhere near that is safe, just do not start the engine and leave it for at least 48 hours..
Most importantly, drain the engine oil after the first 24 hours and have the engine oil replaced before attempting to start or ignite the engine.
I’m A Mechanic, and I know these tips will help.
If there will be any electrical malfunctions, they will be minimal, just leave your car for at least 48 hours.
