Governor Wike said, “We have seen that there is a hidden agenda. But nobody can destroy the PDP. PDP will wax stronger. Those around the former acting National Chairman have questionable character. They are people who think that they can use the judiciary to cause crisis…In my entire political career, I have never seen a man with many opponents as Senator Sheriff. Modu Sheriff should apologize to the party.”
A child is blessed every day. A child is innocent. A child is beautiful gift from God. So never ever hate them for who they are or how they are. They want to fulfill their dreams and overcome. They want to remind the adults to dry their tears.
Do you ever wonder how we would have survived without ATMs? Imagine you had to go to your bank every time you needed to withdraw or pay in cash as little as 1k. I bet we would have managed to survive, but still, thank God for ATMs. For those living in Pitakwa we know how things can get, you could just be driving down Rumuola or Rumuokwuta and see a bag or shoe you’ve been looking for and you just have to get it. ATMs are quick fixes when you’re cashless, you can even just transfer the money to another account too.

Healthy people are more productive, creative and mentally sharp. Face it. We don’t always take care of ourselves as well as we should. It’s hard, because life gets in the way–doubly so if we have a busy and productive work life. And when faced with the choice between hard work and convenience, guess which one wins out most of the time? But whether it’s convenient or not, maintaining our health should come first, before our daily to-do’s, before our work. Why? Because if we aren’t healthy, we can’t be successful, either–at home or at work. Let’s cover the basics–food, sleep, exercise–and why you can’t ignore them:

Whoever said food is life wasn’t kidding, or was it water? I really don’t care though, food…water, they are life. I am a foodie, I absolutely love food; if it’s good I’ll eat it. I love anything from junk food to salad. I’ve eaten almost every kind of food in Port Harcourt, from local to intercontinental … Who in Nigeria doesn’t know what Shawarmas are? The most famous junk food I would say, yummy wrapped delicious creamy goodness, I don’t even care how much calories it packs, I just love it. For someone who eats
