A veteran movie star, Digidi Dunhill has frowned over the recent death of a Nollywood actor, Junior Pope, saying his death was avoidable.

He lost his life during the shooting of a movie titled, “The Other Side of Life” in Asaba, Delta State. A boat he and the cast and crew were travelling in capsized, leading to his death along with three others.

Reacting to the development, Dunhill while featuring in ABN TV’s ‘Talk Make I Talk,’ said the producers of the movie did not do enough to cater for the welfare of the cast and crew.

According to him, the budget for the shooting of a full movie now was used for the payment of one artiste in his days, saying movie producers now have killed the industry with poor welfare.

“What happened to Junior Pope is very painful, It’s very annoying. Anyway, you don’t blame the dead,” he stated.

“During our time, nobody can enter boat without a life jacket. We will tell the producer, the executive producer that without life jacket, nobody is shooting. There were few of us who were like the police of the industry, once there is a little lack of welfare of artists, we won’t shoot your movie, once there is no security, we will mandate you to provide it.

“Now, they shoot at 2am and 3am and there is no transport, they will expect you to go to your house,” he added.

Budget For A Movie Now Was Payment For One Artiste Then – Actor Dunhill

Let's face it.

If you are preparing to take IELTS, you probably are not scoring high in your practice as much as you would have loved to because you haven't mastered some question types such as true, false Not given, List of headings, and location of information in a paragraph, worse still, you can't finish a reading test within the 1-hour time frame.

In addition, you don't know how to begin your task 1 academic writing nor do you know how to come up with ideas for your task 2 essay.

These problems make you anxious, and you ask yourself?

What exactly is my problem?

One person tells you you need to practice more questions to get better, but the more you practice, the more you keep making similar mistakes.

Another tells you that you should keep attempting the real test (i.e., blowing almost 300k) and that one day you will get lucky and get the score you desire

But the real problem is elsewhere: You Don't Have a FORMULA.

It has been proven by IELTS experts that relying on past questions or LUCK won't guarantee you success in the test.

Rather having a tested and proven formula to tackle the question types would.

But if you are like me, you don't want to spend hours testing and trying different strategies and formulas that don't work, right?

Nor do you want to walk around in the dark wondering what to do to make the examiner give you a band 7.0 in your writing.

But there is a solution. 

This solution helped my student achieve the 8,8,7,7, Canada Relocation requirement in the shortest possible time. 

The solution is, to have a proven formula that you can insert into the question types, and it pulls out the correct answer giving you your desired band score.

*Edo to save Irrua Specialist Hospital N37m monthly cost with solar-powered project* 

The Edo State Government is set to commence a solar power project at the Irrua Specialist Hospital (ISH), to supply 24 hours of electricity to the Federal Government-owned specialist health facility.

The project on completion will save the hospital over N37m spent monthly for the procurement of diesel.

The Commissioner for Mining and Energy, Engr. Enaholo Ojiefo, who disclosed this to journalists in Benin City, said the project is part of efforts by the state government to support major health facilities in the State to reduce their running costs and consequently cut healthcare costs.

The announcement followed the groundbreaking ceremony of a solar power project at the Nigerian Army Military Hospital in Benin City.

The project is expected to begin with the major health facilities in the State and expanded across the State’s 18 local government councils.

According to Ojiefo, while speaking at the groundbreaking for the solar power project at the Nigerian Army Military Hospital in Benin City, said, “We see our people coming here, especially the pregnant women, who come for healthcare services. The governor instructed us to ensure we support them with constant electricity.

“We are looking at a month plus for the project to be completed and ready. We have one of such project working in Eyaen already. There is a 1MW facility at Aduwawa and this will be another 1MW.”

He added, “The next project is Irrua Specialist Hospital which uses over N37 million on diesel. The governor has charged us to go after the major health establishments in the State to reduce healthcare costs.”

Earlier, Governor Godwin Obaseki who was represented by his deputy, Omobayo Marvellous Godwins, said the government remains committed to proffering a lasting solution to the power problem in the State.

The cost of energy, when reduced, will go a long way to help reduce the running cost in the facility. It will save the cost of diesel and will reduce the burden.

“It’s a laudable project and as an administration, we need to sit down with the 18 local government chairmen across the State to see how to positively design such projects so it can be extended across the State.”

He added, “We have a very good plan for the State and have gone more than 70 percent in its execution. I am sure we will finish well as a government.”

Press Statement by Peter Oladapo, National Vice President , Nigerian Youth Convergence, Addressing Newsmen in Ibadan

Ladies and gentlemen of the press,

Thank you for gathering here today as we address a matter of great significance to the Nigerian youth and indeed the entire populace. Under the current administration led by H.E Bola Tinubu, we have witnessed a distressing trend of oppressive electricity tariffs that disproportionately affect the livelihoods of our citizens, particularly the youth.

The Nigerian Youth Convergence condemns in the strongest terms the ongoing increase in electricity tariffs, which only serve to exacerbate the hardships faced by ordinary Nigerians. Access to reliable and affordable electricity is not a luxury but a fundamental necessity for our nation's progress and development.

As highlighted in our statement, electricity is the backbone of industrialization. Without it, our aspirations for sustainable economic growth remain elusive. We cannot overlook the fact that any hindrance to access electricity directly translates to underdevelopment for our nation.

Therefore, we call upon Nigerian youths to organize and reject all anti-people policies, including exorbitant electricity tariffs. Our collective action is pivotal in holding the government accountable and ensuring a fair and prosperous future for all.

It is imperative to recognize that the youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow but active participants in shaping the present. Our energy and commitment to social justice issues make us powerful agents of change. Through mobilization and unity, we can drive meaningful reform and demand accountability from those in power.

Democracy thrives on the active participation of its citizens. As such, we must hold the government accountable and demand transparency in policymaking. The Nigerian Youth Convergence remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the principles of democracy and advocating for the welfare of our people.

Thank you.

After long months of chilling cold, summers come as a ray of hope. But summers can be frustrating. Even on an average sunny day you can feel extremely hot because of the humidity. Although the summer season is refreshing, it has its own negative effects on the body. Especially for people with conditions like blood pressure. 

But do summers affect blood pressure? Let’s understand the relationship between summer and blood pressure and tips to manage them effectively during the summer season. 

What is a normal blood pressure?

Before we find out how summers affect blood pressure, let’s get a review on what blood pressure is. Blood presses against artery walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body, resulting in blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is defined as the measurement of 120/80 mmHg or less, though this can vary based on age, health, and other factors. There are several causes of high blood pressure that can impact the overall health. 

How does summer affect blood pressure?

Summer throws several factors at our bodies that can influence blood pressure. Here is a summary of some important components.

Temperature:

Cold weather causes blood vessels to constrict, raising blood pressure to maintain warmth. Oppositely hot weather leads to vasodilation where the blood vessels widen, which could help in reducing the blood pressure. However the effect is often temporary and other factors come into play. 

Dehydration:

Sweating is a natural response to regulate body temperature in hot weather. However excessive sweating without adequate fluid intake can lead to dehydration. Dehydrated blood becomes thicker and more challenging to pump.

Sun exposure: 

Certain medications for high blood pressure can increase sun sensitivity, leading to side effects of hypertension. This can discourage individuals from spending time outdoors, leading to a less active lifestyle and potentially impacting blood pressure control.

Dietary changes:

Summer can lead to dietary changes. Increased consumption of salty snacks, sugary drinks, and processed foods can contribute to severe hypertension. 

Increased activity:

While summer often means more outdoor activities, exertion in hot weather can put a strain on the heart, temporarily raising blood pressure. However, regular exercise is crucial for overall health and can benefit blood pressure control in the long run. Consult the general hospital Coimbatore if you are experiencing any symptoms of high blood pressure.

What are the symptoms that indicate your body isn’t getting adjusted to the summer?

Dizziness 
Confusion 
Clammy or cold skin
Increased pulse
Fatigue 
Headache 
Swelling in legs and arms
Sweating excessively or unable to sweat 

Who is at risk of blood pressure in summers?

It is important to remember that blood pressure naturally fluctuates throughout the day. Factors like stress, caffeine intake, and even the time of a day can cause temporary fluctuations. While summer can introduce new elements affecting blood pressure, it is not necessarily a cause for concern for everyone.

While some people may experience a slight decrease in blood pressure during summer, others may be more susceptible to negative impacts. Here are some groups who might need to extra cautious, 

Individuals with uncontrolled blood pressure:

If your blood pressure is already poorly managed, summer challenges can worsen the existing conditions. For people with unmanaged blood pressure, it is important to seek high blood pressure treatment to keep themselves under check. 

Elderly adults:

As we age, our bodies become less efficient at regulating blood pressure. Dehydration and heat stress can pose a higher risk for older adults. 

People taking certain medications:

Certain medications can increase dehydration risk in the hot weather.

Individuals with underlying health conditions:

Certain health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes can make blood pressure management more challenging in the summer.

What are the tips to keep blood pressure in check during summer?

Here are some practical tips to manage severe hypertension effectively throughout the summer:

Stay hydrated:

Even if you are thirsty, it is important to drink a lot of water throughout the day. Aim for eight glasses or more per day, and adjust based on activity levels. 

Maintain a healthy diet:

Restrict your intake of processed foods, sweetened beverages, and salt. Give priority to whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources. 

Monitor your blood pressure regularly:

Checking your blood pressure regularly at home allows you to identify any concerning trends and seek medical advice if needed. 

Learn to be sun smart:

Spend time outdoors, but do it with the right planning. Avoid peak sun hours and wear protective clothing and sunscreen. 

Maintain a regular exercise routine:

Regular physical activity, even modified for hot weather, can significantly benefit blood pressure control. Opt for early morning or evening workouts, stay hydrated during exercise, and listen to your body. 

Keep your body cool:

Wear loose fitted clothing, spend some time in cool and shady places. Consume foods that keep your body cool naturally. 

Along with these tips it is important to follow a proper routine to keep the blood pressure levels managed. 

Important Takeaway:

It is important to remember that to keep the blood pressure levels in check, you need to follow the right lifestyle habits. By following healthy habits you can enjoy the summer without getting worried. Reach out to the best doctor for hypertension in Coimbatore if your blood pressure levels are unmanaged.

Former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ogbonna Nwuke, has said more political groups and individuals are declaring support for Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, due to his peaceful disposition.

Nwuke, who represented Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency in the National Assembly between 2011 and 2015, disclosed this yesterday while speaking with LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt.

He said all those declaring their support for Fubara are those who want stability, progress and peace in the state, adding that as one state, there cannot be two governors.

The former federal lawmaker said: “I think that we want stability in Rivers State. We want the progress of Rivers State and we do want peace in Rivers State. We think that, as the saying goes, you cannot have two governors in a state that is one.

“Our people have looked at it very clearly and critically and we have told ourselves that if you are interested in advancing the interest of self, there is nothing wrong with you playing with those who are in Abuja.

“But, if you want development, which is within the purview of the Rivers State government, to get to your communities, to your hamlets, to your people, then, identifying with the government of the day, at this time, will be the best thing to do.

“We find Sim’s seamless arguments in favour of peace very comforting. We don’t want war and we think that the one who seeks peace does not do so out of weakness.

“We think because there is a milk of human kindness within his system, he thinks that peace is better than war. To develop Rivers State and take it to the next level, we need to have peace, we need to have collaboration. We need to have stability,” he said.

In a viral video posted on X on Thursday by Imran Mohammed, the terrorist, who quoted a Quranic verse, urged the Zamfara State governor, Dauda Lawal Dare to “fear God and kick start peace process immediately.”
A Zamfara State bandits’ kingpin, Kachalla Garba Aminu, has called for dialogue with the Nigerian government.
In a viral video posted on X on Thursday by Imran Mohammed, the terrorist, who quoted a Quranic verse, urged the Zamfara State governor, Dauda Lawal Dare to “fear God and kick start peace process immediately.”
The terrorist said he was representing the interest of bandits and other indigenes of Zamfara State.
On April 1, 2024, SaharaReporters reported how a Zamfara State-based bandits kingpin advised the Nigerian military to abandon its kinetic approach and toe the path of dialogue.
In the latest video, the bandit is heard in a disjointed and broken English appealing for negotiations between his group and the Nigerian authorities.
“Because I represent Zamfara State (bandits), after that I need to send message to Dauda Lawal Dare. Dauda Lawal Dere ‘ittakullaha’ (fear God)!
“As from today we need peace, we need peaceful coexistence in Zamfara State. Continued fighting will not bring us peace. Peace is what is required of you.
“If you look at what’s going on in eastern Africa you’ll agree we need to find common ground to resolve our differences.
“After that I need to send message to the military, Tukur Usman Gusau, because he’s the one who sends war planes to bomb bandits.
“Dauda Lawal Dare you’re the leader of Zamfara State, fear God. If you leader a peaceful Zamfara, then call all the leaders of Fulanis and all the ‘Kachallas’ (bandits commanders) to the negotiation table for the benefit of all,” the terrorist entreated.

I came across an interesting new meme token called EPIK that launched on the Solana blockchain earlier this month. It features a playful little duck character and has been gaining traction since its debut.

In my opinion, several factors contribute to EPIK's potential. Meme coins naturally attract attention, and EPIK's unique duck character design helps it stand out. Additionally, backing from crypto influencers has fueled market interest.

It seems on-chain activity is also picking up steam, with daily TV reaching millions of dollars and the number of holders approaching 10,000.

With a strong community presence in both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking communities, a recent listing on Bitget potentially exposing it to a much wider audience, coupled with the potential for further price increases, I believe EPIK is a project to keep an eye on.

Man's struggles:

Beneath his skin, he doesn't do these things for himself. The pains, the struggles, and the sacrifices.

He knows that without doing them he's practically useless. An evolutionary and cultural wiring that either makes or mars him.

The struggles of man are first for honor and ego. Successful men have their egos in check and can aggregate people to themselves. 

Being able to run the game in his life without interference and fear makes him occupy the pedestal. 

That's why men chose to go down the abyss.

An unsuccessful man is like a larvae. Won't be taken seriously until he metamorphoses into an object of complete life, strength, and beauty. Hence, the butterfly isn't limited to one position and can fly as it pleases. 

Men understand this phenomenon deep down in their hearts.

Aesthetics doesn't bother men, unlike women.

For men, life is all about honor, bravery, resources, and respect.

The most beautiful man in the real, transcendental, and metaphorical sense is the man who occupies this terrain of value and material necessities to stand his ground.

The struggle is to establish a name, to not up as a failure, to protect his family and territory. 

His inability will subject him to shaming tactics and ridicule. The rough road is his only remaining advantage. It is his path to hope and redemption.

These struggles shape men into different categories. Hence, everything around us comes under the influence of men. Whether good or evil. They are all products of men's struggles. 

That's why the names of men are mostly pronounced in history and civilization.

Because men take the rough, turbulent road. The road less traveled, unlike women whose emotions wouldn't make them risk danger and darkness or get scared when challenged by the unknown. 

Men know that it's only this unknown that can make them know the truth.

This desire for something tangible, for something great, for something that cuts across nations and generations, his posthumous remembrance, are the reasons men make a lot of sacrifices, bear harsh pains, and are willing to take risks to set themselves apart.

Many men don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But wherever their journey ends, it has shaped their lives better than before. They aren't forgotten but become good lessons to those behind them. Ditto for men who eventually see the light.

It's a worthy struggle.

The carnal mind still find it difficult to understand the mystery of the Godhead. But it is true. Jesus is God in human flesh. And a passage jointly addressed him and the Father as Lord God Almighty through a song. He was jointly worshiped with the Father;

Revelation 15:3-4
3  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, AND THE SONG OF THE LAMB, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

John heard Saints singing the song of Moses and the song is also referred to as the song of the Lamb. And both God and Jesus were addressed as Lord God Almighty because the song is for both God and the Lamb (Jesus).

What other proof do you need that Jesus is indeed God in essence.

Jesus Is Addressed Also As Lord God Almighty. See Evidence Of Scripture

Note: A question was asked on Quora, and I decided to put it here because I believe it will be helpful to those who want to Japa soon.

A few of my favorite universals:

If you’re a genuine tourist or a business traveler, you probably know where you’re going, why you’re going, how you’re going to get there, what you’re going to do there, and why you need to go now instead of last month or next year. If you’re an intending immigrant, you only have a ton of supposedly supporting docs that you believe will somehow guarantee that you’ll return, but you have no idea what those even say.

If you’re a serious student, you probably know where you’re going to study, where that school is located, why you need to study that subject there, on the other side of the world, and what you’re going to do with the degree when you get it.

If you give me a letter that purports to be from a US business contact with a name something like John Jones, it doesn’t matter how beautiful the letterhead is if the first sentence begins, “XYZ is kindly invited to visit USA in order to…” Behind the hard line, we refer to such letters as toilet paper.

Each country has only a dozen or so standard lies. They’re different in every country, but it doesn’t take us long to learn them all. So you might think that yours is totally original and will fool me; I already heard it three times today.

The best visa interview, for both applicant and officer, is one that goes, “Good morning.” “Good morning.” “Your visa will be ready tomorrow at three.” “Thank you.” “You’re welcome. Have a great trip.”

We are not grim, mindless clerks who hate you, and came to live in your country for the sole purpose of frustrating you and breaking your heart. We are highly educated diplomats who won our jobs through an intensely competitive and difficult process, are on a first or second limited assignment in a career that will last for decades if one progresses enough to continue through the fairly brutal up-or-out promotion system (some of us will become ambassadors), will work in dozens of countries over our careers, love yours, and are secretly quite fond of you, too, even if we have to refuse your application.

It won’t do you any good to threaten and curse us if we refuse you. All our language instructors, no matter the language and no matter how much we plead, steadfastly refuse to teach us bad words, so we don’t know what you’re saying.

The majority of US immigration attorneys are ragingly incompetent.

Yes, we know that you applied and were refused at our embassy in another country yesterday… or five years ago.

The more documents you’re carrying, the less likely that you’re legit.

That computer monitor you see inside the window, that the officer is glancing at and typing things into, is secure but is also connected to the internet. If the purported upcoming big-deal conference that you must go to doesn’t turn up on a five-second Google search, there’s probably a very good reason for that that does not bode well for your ambitions.

We love complicated stories; particularly those that keep hanging together however far we follow the branches and then the twigs. Nobody lies that well, so your story, however delightfully unlikely, is probably true. This is The Second Complicated Story Rule: no matter how unlikely seeming, if it’s diabolically complicated but it hangs together, it’s true.

I taught a generation of junior officers The Two-Part Question Rule: 1. Always ask the next question. 2. Don’t ask a question if you aren’t sure that you want to hear the answer.

And a few more.
