@UBAGroup Hi
Please, my account was debited twice for Apple web bill which I know nothing about.
I have sent a private message with the details and would be immensely grateful for your help in addressing this.
Thanks

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

@goodie_cyrus Jesus revealed, Jesus glorified!
Hallelujah

You can have joy despite what you're going through. Yes, joy unspeakable

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

1. Drink water, put a bottle by your bedside, drink when you wake

2. Ask your friend abroad to buy your multi-vitamins. Take them daily

3. Stop taking soda and “juice”, eat the fruit with the pulp, chew an orange, don't drink orange juice.

4. Slow down on the carbs, garri, jollef and amala, and do more protein. Termites are high in protein if you can't afford beef. ( I didn't stutter)

5. Sleep longer, weekends are for sleep, not just parties and watching football.

6. Take your holidays, do not exchange them for cash and work all year round. Go to a village or slow area for a holiday once in a while to decouple. Travelling to the UK or Dubai to shop in malls and eat a burger is not a holiday

7. Slow down on salt and sugar, think more of ginger and turmeric

8. Eat suya, eat the vegetables, onions and tomatoes too, all join

9. Slow down on white bread, pasta, etc. Brown rice 👍 is Ofada rice brown? Does anyone know?

10. Have sex regularly. A blow job is not sex

11. Stretch, walk, move. Yoga is good.

12. Be happy, watch comedies, laugh

13. Have an emergency fund. Looking for urgent N10,000 on “Tuesday” will cause hypertension faster than salt.

14. Buy a plant, have a garden, sha touch soil once in a while

15. Be careful with the news you listen to, don't be naive, but don't dwell in the comfort of mockers

16. Fall in love, not mandatory but recommended. Yes, you can love the company of someone, all join.

17. Use deodorant, not Antiperspirants.

18. Guys, change your boxers daily, even if they do not smell. A beard has to be combed and maintained. It's not fallow land

19. Ladies, you also look beautiful without a wig or nail extensions, plus you save money 😉

20. Don't bleach your skin

This is financial advice

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

Look up to God!
He will never turn away.
Call unto Him, He will never miss your call.

Psalm 34:5

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

@aproko_doctor Read the Bible.
I mean this seriously

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

Life is progressive.
The attainment of one goal is the beginning of another.

This is horrible

[Faraz Pervaiz @FarazPervaiz3]

Nigeria: Her Christian husband and two children, aged 3 years and 10 months, were slaughtered by Islamists right in front of her.

She and her only surviving child, aged 7, were left for dead, and her hand was chopped off.

The Persecuted Church in Nigeria needs all of us.

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. All these things shall be added unto you.
What are you seeking?
One of the ways of seeking the Lord is by going to the church and listening to the word of God. Do so today.

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

In a world of darkness, you enjoy light.
In a world of confusion, you have clarity and direction.
Embracing Jesus is the real deal

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

I met someone recently after about 20 years.
He said 'headboy, you have never changed'.
I replied "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever".
Following Jesus simplifies your life.
In a world of lies, you live by the truth.

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

The bedrock of true freedom is the truth.
This truth expresses itself in integrity, order and merit.
Any country that will make progress has no choice than to embrace the truth.

Any life that will grow and develop must also live by the truth.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

Today marks Nigeria's 65th year of independence. I think it is a miracle that we still remain as one entity.

Freedom comes with responsibility. If one seeks for freedom without fully accepting the corresponding responsibility, that freedom will soon become a burden.

Better a little caution than a great regret

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I get a lot of messages asking for career advice.

This is my attempt to synthesize my responses into a series of short, valuable lessons.

22 pieces of career advice I wish I knew at 22...

The single most important rule: Be valuable.

Create value, receive value. If you want to make a lot of money, create value for everyone you come into contact with. Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Identify problems, create solutions, scale those solutions. If you aren't valuable, nothing else on this list matters. If you are valuable, the rest of the list is like gasoline on your already roaring fire.

Durable things take a long time to build. Flimsy things happen fast.

There are no shortcuts to building something real. The faster it comes, the faster it can fall apart. Remember that.

Be the person who can figure it out.

Early on, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work, ask key questions, get it done. People will fight over you.

There are no style points in life.

You don't get more points for making it look good. You win by getting to the truth. The layup counts just as much as the 360-degree windmill dunk—and it probably saves energy so that you can be on the court for the full game.

People want to do business with people they like.

So, being likable and nice to be around is a durable competitive advantage.

The best opportunities look like tiny cracks, not open doors.

Opportunities rarely feel obvious in the moment. Capitalizing on them requires one part awareness (to spot the tiny crack) and ten parts courage (to dive through it).

Inputs are great, but you're paid for your outputs.

Inputs and outputs may be dislocated in the short-term, but they should be connected in the long-term. If not, you probably need to adjust your inputs.

If you want extraordinary outputs, you need to be willing to contribute extraordinary inputs.

Life is filled with challenging, painful tradeoffs and sacrifices. There's no cheat code or hack to get around it. You need to be willing to endure seasons of unbalance to unlock a life of balance on the other side.

The ability to take feedback is a long-term competitive advantage.

Everyone says they want feedback, but most just mean they want positive feedback. If you can seek out constructive feedback and embrace it, you will always outmatch the person who runs from it.

Seek out rooms where you don't feel like you belong.

That feeling of uncertainty, fear, and discomfort is usually a sign of growth.

Always focus on doing.

You'll come across a lot of great talkers—people who seem to have built their careers on the back of sounding smart, using fancy words, and the like. While it may work out for a few, it's a bad risk-adjusted strategy. It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to reliably get ahead is by doing the thing.

Potential is nothing without execution.

When you're young, everyone cares about your potential. You get accustomed to focusing on it. But as you get older, no one cares about your potential—just your delivery against it.

Everything matters.

Every single thing. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things.

Learn to sell.

Sell yourself, your story, your product, your vision, your ideas. Don't be afraid of being told no. Use it to refine the message until you get to a yes.

Build a reputation for reliability.

My grandfather once told me: "You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary." I will never forget that. You can get pretty damn far by just being someone that people can count on to show up and do the work. Being reliable is entirely free but surprisingly rare.

If you want to accomplish anything significant, you have to work hard.

Nothing bad has ever come from working hard on things you care about. It may not lead to the outcome you expect, but it will lead to an outcome you deserve.

Don't follow your passion, follow your energy.

Passion can lie, but energy never does. When you have energy for something, you're prone to giving your deep attention to learn more about it. You open up to the world. You ask great questions and observe. Chasing your energy is how you unlock the gold in life.

Be selective in the games you choose to play.

There's an old African proverb that says, "The Lizard had the tree in mind when challenging the Dog to a fight." The most successful people I've met are hyper self-aware. They identify their unique edge, then play games that favor it (and avoid those that expose their weaknesses). Know your game and play it well.

Closed mouths don't get fed.

If you want something—and you’ve done the work to earn it—go ask for it. The old adage to sit back and wait for good things to happen is terrible advice. A little push goes a long way.

Do the "old fashioned" things well.

Look people in the eye, do what you say you'll do, be early, practice good posture, have a confident handshake, listen more than you speak. These things are all free and will never go out of style.

Side hustles are usually just distractions.

Having 5-10 income streams may sound nice, but it's quite rare that an income stream is truly passive. If it requires your mental energy (or creates headaches), it may just be a distraction pulling you away from the main thing that matters.

Your employer (probably) doesn't care about you.

Everyone's your best friend until it's time to make hard decisions. One of my dearest friends just got laid off after 15 years at a firm. The guy who gave him the news had hired him originally and been a groomsman at his wedding. Suddenly, he wouldn't reply to texts or pick up the phone. There's no loyalty. The sooner you accept that, the better off you'll be.

Your career is a long game. These 22 pieces of advice will help you play it well.

And always remember: Advice is great, but it's nothing without action.

I hope you take a few items from this list and act on them in the days and weeks ahead. Apply the ones that resonate, ignore the ones that don't.

Onward and upward...

Integrity is an extremely scarce commodity.
Compromise is an extremely common commodity.
Different people have both in varying measures

[Femi Aiyemowa MD @femi_prestige]

The reality of human nature is that he changes. Could be from bad to good or the reverse.
Politics is a classical example of the latter

[Stifler @Stifler_Ldn]

One of the things I’m thankful for living in the UK is the fact that, you can finish from work , get home early as planned , go to the gym, make dinner, watch Netflix, catch up with people online , and sleep.

Back in Lagos then and working on the island , by 4:45pm when everyone is getting ready to close . Me and my colleagues then will first check Google map for traffic , then look through our office window from UBA Marina building to see how bad and blocked the 3rd mainland bridge traffic extends.

Guys will sit and chat until maybe 9pm before leaving the office , risk your safety driving home . At that point you have lost appetite for food or anything except cold Garri , water and probably Suya.

You sleep around 11:45pm , wake up by 4:30am again to beat the traffic and save your job.
