The Devil attacks you at three (3) times: during idle moments, in moments of anger, and when you achieve success. So, fill your idle moments (with good deeds), control your anger, and acknowledge Allah's blessings in every achievement.
Quit overthinking. Quit feeding your mind negative thoughts and self doubt. Love yourself enough and remember that the Almighty only wants the best for you.

The Federal Government is preparing to initiate a new audit of the N2.8tn fuel subsidy request submitted by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
An auditing firm, KPMG, successfully completed an initial audit that resulted in a reduction of the claims from N6 trillion to N2.7 trillion.
The federal government is exploring the option of involving an independent audit firm or instructing the Office of the Auditor General of the Federation to authenticate the assertions put forth by the corporation concerning the government's outstanding debt to the oil company.
APC chieftain, Fuad Laguda has been elected as candidate for the House of Representatives by-election in Surulere Constituency 1, Lagos state.
The election, billed for February 3, will be conducted to fill the vacancy created by the appointment of the former speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, as the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu.
With the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ending all its development finance interventions by the end of this year, more than 4.6 million farmers along with over 1,358 projects that had benefitted from the various initiatives will have to commence the repayment of the over N5.25 trillion loans given out by the apex bank over the years.
CBN governor, Dr Olayemi Cardoso, had stated his plan to deviate from the path of development finance interventions which his predecessors toed, stating that the apex bank will, under his leadership, focus on monetary policy and advisory roles.
The CBN had delved into encouraging backward integration through the Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) that has seen over N1.09 trillion lent to more than 4.6 million farmers all over the country.
In total, the CBN had given out more than N5.25 trillion to individuals and companies of various categories.
According to data sourced from the apex bank, the funds had been disbursed under several intervention programmes such as the ABP, the 100-for-100 Policy on Production and Productivity, the Nigerian Electricity Market Stabilisation Facility, N1.0 trillion Real Sector Facility, Agribusiness/Small and Medium Enterprise Investment Scheme (AGSMEIS) and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Fund (MSMEDF) amongst others.
As of May this year, the CBN under the Real Sector Facility had disbursed a cumulative amount of N2.56 trillion to 462 projects across the country, comprising 257 manufacturing, 95 agriculture, 97 services and 13 mining sector projects.
Aside this, more than 4.6 million smallholder farmers had benefited from the ABP under which a total of N1.09 trillion had been disbursed to farmers cultivating or rearing 21 agricultural commodities on an approved 6.02 million hectares of farmland across the country.
NLC/TUC STRIKE ACTION NOT IN NATIONAL INTEREST
We notice with dismay the decision by the Nigerian Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress to call out workers to commence a strike action from midnight, despite a restraining order issued last week by Justice Benedict Backwash Kanyip of the National Industrial Court.
This decision by the NLC and TUC other than being an ego tripping move is clearly unwarranted. It is an attempt to blackmail the government by the leadership of the NLC.
We are still at a loss as to why the NLC and TUC decided to punish a whole country of over 200million people over a personal matter involving the NLC President, Mr. Joe Ajaero, whose error of judgment led to assault on him in Owerri while he was planning to incite the workers in Imo State into a needless strike.
While the Federal government does not condone any form of violence and assault on any citizen of Nigeria regardless of his or her social and economic status, it is on record that the Inspector General of Police has ordered investigation into what happened to Mr. Ajaero while the Commissioner of Police in Imo State under whose watch the incident happened has been transferred out of the state.
Calling out workers on a national strike over a personal issue of a labour leader despite a clear court order against any industrial action amounts to an abuse of privilege. Power at any level should never be used to settle personal scores. Rather, it should be used to promote collective progress and advance national interest.
Our national economy and social activities should not suffer because of the personal interest of any labour leader.
This flagrant disobedience to court order and lack of respect for the judiciary should not be what the organised Labour would champion.
The labour movement has always been a champion of rule of law and respect for the judiciary. It is a sad irony that the current labour leaders have shown disdain and utter disregard for court order.
We reiterate that this strike action is illegal, immoral, unjustifiable and irresponsible. What the strike notice issued Monday night after official hours suggests is it's designed for a sinister and hidden agenda to cause undue hardship and cause civil disturbance in our country. This is unacceptable.
