  • Onyekuru to complete Galatasaray loan deal

    Onyekuru to complete Galatasaray loan deal

    Our Reporter

     

    Nigeria international Henry Onyekuru is on the brink of returning to Galatasaray for a third loan spell, according to reports.

    Turkish newspaper Milliyet says the Monaco-owned winger has agreed personal terms with the Super Lig side but Galatasaray and the Ligue 1 club have yet to agree financial terms, with a two million euro difference between the parties.

    Monaco want an obligatory option to purchase set at five million euros included in any deal while the Istanbul club are willing to pay three million euros at the end of the 2020-2021 season.

    A loan fee of one million euros has been agreed between the two clubs, meaning the total package would be four million euros if Galatasaray have their way.

    The former Eupen star has had two different loan spells with Galatasaray, scoring 17 goals in 56 appearances and won the Super Lig and Turkish Cup in his first full season with the club.

    Onyekuru has been frozen out of the Monaco first team picture in the new season, making four appearances in the French Ligue 1, the last of which came against Stade Rennais on September 19.

    The 23-year-old has a contract with the principality outfit until the end of the 2023-2024 season.

    Scores of youths and women from Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State have benefited from the philanthropic gesture of Prince Onyendozi Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation.

    The youths, drawn from 15 communities of the council participated in the football tournament with Umunze community clinching the first prize of N500,000, after beating Enugwu Umuonyia community with three goals to none.

    The Umuonyia town which came second won the prize of N300,000, while Ogboji came third with the prize of N200,000. Other participating teams got consolation prizes of N40,000 each.

    Prince Engr Nnanyerugo Ike, Chief Executive Officer of the foundation ,said it was primarily established to touch lives and trigger development of the area.

    He disclosed that over 1000 persons have been empowered through the numerous interventions of the foundation in the areas of education, health, sports development, youths empowerment and skills acquisition, among others.

    He said: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation launched an initiative which provided relief materials to many households in the area. We also undertook our 2020 medical outreach for the 15 communities of the LGA.

    “This outreach which we run in partnership with medical doctors, pharmacists, laboratory scientists and nurses, is aimed at addressing the numerous health challenges of our people.

    “We’ve also empowered over 200 indigent women and widows while over 40 persons from the area have been enrolled under the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme (ASHIA), to enjoy free Medicare for a period of twelve months.”

    Inaugurating the foundation, member representing Orumba South in the State House of Assembly, Hon Emma Nwafor lauded the foundation’s vision, describing it as worth emulating.

    “What we are witnessing today is the kind of thing we want our people to do. This is a young man who is using his God-given wealth to touch lives.

    “He is not occupying any government position, yet he has done so much to impact lives. I am pleased to inaugurate this foundation and hope others will emulate him,” he said.

    The event which attracted dignitaries within and outside the state witnessed presentation of prizes to the winners of the football tournament as well as distribution of bags of rice to over 150 indigent women from the 15 communities of the area.

    The Stade Charles De Gaulles De Porto Novo in neighbouring  Republic of Benin  will now host the outstanding CAF Confederation Cup tie  between Rivers United and South African side Bloemfontein Celtic .

    Media officer of the Port Harcourt-based side Mayuku Charles  confirmed as much adding the match   will be held  on January 23rd  as against 24th  earlier reported.

    Celtic were due to play Rivers United in Port Harcourt last week but did not travel after the Nigerian government refused to waive strict coronavirus regulations which required Celtic to be quarantined for seven days upon arrival.

    South Africa has been designated as a high risk country by Nigeria and all travellers must quarantine.

    Following CAF’s directive, Rivers United were mandated  to secure a  neighbouring  venue   for the  return leg after the  tie originally billed for January 6 was called off .

    This classic English rivalry is always fiercely contested, but it will have even more importance this season as United have emerged as potential title challengers to Jurgen Klopp’s men.

    The Red Devils are particularly good away from home with the pace and penetration of their counter attacks proving too much for host teams to handle, though producing a similar showing against the class of a team such as ‘Pool” will be no easy task.

    This round of Premier League action also features a Friday night London derby between an improving Fulham and a Chelsea side looking to recapture their prime form at 9pm live on SuperSport Premier League; a Saturday-evening battle between two European hopefuls in Aston Villa and Everton at 6:30pm live on SuperSport Grandstand (DStv Channel 201) and SuperSport Premier League (DStv Channel 203).

    Sunday and Monday will also feature Tottenham Hotspur visiting Sheffield United at 3:00pm on SS Premier League, Manchester City hosting Crystal Palace at 8:15pm live on SuperSport Grandstand, SuperSport Premier League and SuperSport GOtv Football (GOtv Channel 31) while Arsenal will welcome Newcastle United to the Emirates Stadium on Monday at 9pm live on SuperSport Premier League.

    There are two standout matches from this weekend’s Serie A action, starting with a Friday night clash between Lazio and Roma. The match will air live at 8:45pm on SuperSport Football (DStv channel 205 and GOtv channel 31) and SuperSport GOtv Select 1 (GOtv channel 33).

    The ‘Derby della Capitale’ or Rome derby is one of the most fervent rivalries in all of Italian football. It has been almost a full year since their last Serie A meeting and fans of both the Giallorossi and Le Aquile will be itching to watch this battle.

    The other key clash of the round takes place on Sunday night and sees Internazionale host Juventus at San Siro for a game which could be key in the race for the Scudetto. Tune in at 8:45pm on SuperSport Football and SuperSport GOtv Select 1.

    The round of games in Italy also features Napoli hosting Fiorentina, Atalanta welcoming Genoa to Bergamo, and a closing clash which sees Milan visit the Sardegna Arena on Monday night for a battle with Cagliari.

     

     

     

  • Right call, wrong timing

    Right call, wrong timing

    Hardball

     

    WITH the escalating threat of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, we must ask if tight timelines imposed by government for telecoms subscribers to link their National Identity Number (NIN) with their phone lines is wise at a time like this.

    Nigeria has recorded consecutive case counts of more than 1,000 new infections daily in the last one week, with many notable persons reported dead of Covid-19 complications. That, obviously, is not taking account of non-notable victims. Meanwhile, in apparent bid to curb the use of telecoms facilities for criminal exploits, government had directed all operators to block phone lines on their networks not linked to subscribers’ NIN by 30th December, last year. Following public outcry, it granted a three-week extension for subscribers already having their NIN till 19th January, 2021, and six-week extension for subscribers yet to obtain the NIN till 9th February. Still, the threat of imminent disconnection from telco networks has forced mammoth crowds of subscribers seeking registration for the NIN to National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) centres. The pressure on those centres was compounded by a strike called by the agency’s workers late last week that was suspended after 48 hours, but with the workers not back at their duty posts until Monday, this week.

    The desperation of intending registrants fostered scenes of chaos at the registration centres amid acute disregard for Covid-19 safety protocols. For instance, the huge crowds made social distancing utterly impossible, with most registrants ignoring other rules like wearing of facemasks and washing of hands. Even NIMC staff have been hazarded, and one of the reasons they ditched work last week was alleged lack of personal protective equipment which accounted for some of their members contracting Covid-19.

    Communications and Digital Economy Minister Isa Pantami put all the blame on the registrants, arguing that they were needlessly and avoidably crowding NIMC centres. Speaking on a Channels Television programme last weekend, he said: “Citizens go there (i.e. the centres), their names are not part of those to be captured but they go and stay at the gates; and if you ask them to leave they would not. Even the security agencies pleaded with them, but they would not go… It has nothing to do with the commission, it is with the citizens. We need to change our attitude.” Alluding to timing, the minister explained that his ministry, NIMC and telcos would review the entire exercise  should government impose a fresh lockdown over the pandemic.

    But that review, Hardball argues, is overdue already and should not await fresh lockdown by government. The Covid-19 second wave has made government signal it would review the proposed schedule for resumption of schools; so also has it warranted the suspension of proposed screening of new recruits by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), among others. Though the objective for NIN-phone line linkage is good, this just isn’t the best time to pursue that objective. Simple!

     

  • Power, the brute and the egghead (2)

    Power, the brute and the egghead (2)

    Olatunji Ololade

     

    RADIANT idealism without grit often dims to smut; flaming and curling, it sears with promise until it scalds the tongue of the idealist, leaving him with a charred heart.

    The best idealism is mined inside out, deep down in the trenches. It surpasses the splendour of pontification or a snobbish purge of the mind; thus to attain true relevance in the scheme of things, the Nigerian intellectual must descend his arrogant perch, and hop in primeval mud to tear down the castle gates of corruption erected by predatory oligarchs, from the base.

    Criminals win elections. The Nigerian public office is not for the faint-hearted; treasury looters, paedophiles, rapists, advance-fee fraudsters, ex-convicts, terrorists, and thugs vie for public office. Oftentimes they win.

    All is fair game in the pursuit of power; politicians kill, steal, sponsor carnage, and hate-speech. At their victory, they recruit intellectuals to justify their acquisition of power, including the deviltry and bloodlust deployed in quest of it.

    Thus eggheads assume the role of courtiers; to validate power in unworthy hands, they create a pseudo-reality, plausible enough to redefine truth and distort facts.

    Plotting pseudo-events, they pretend to speak for the people and work for the country’s good but they are performers whose chief intent is to make money. Conflict is their treasure trove. Call them political profiteers or misery merchants if you like.

    They are part of the presidential cabinet, media aides, and special advisers. They shamelessly parrot official propaganda, polluting public discourse with sycophancy, doublespeak, and other behavioural toxins. They do not question abuse of power by their principals neither do they query the structures built by corrupt oligarchs to assert their reign.

    Government and corporations allow courtiers into their inner circles imbuing them with instant celebrity but as Saul points out, no class of courtiers, from the eunuchs behind Manchus in the 19th century to the Baghdad caliphs of the Abbasid caliphate, has ever transformed into a responsible and socially productive class. Courtiers, argues Hedges, are hedonists of power.

    When exposed as complicit in the misinformation and misrule of the nation, they swiftly claim innocence, stressing that they were simply working with the information made available to them and justifying their paycheques. In truth, they are intellectual hooligans committing the violence of pretense against Nigeria and her people.

    When they claim to be pro-citizenry, they carry on like “political hobbyists,” often lending their ‘voices’ to front-burner issues, and sponsoring hashtags to attain clout.

    There is little difference between them and the proverbial fawning page; they play smooth flatterer and thug to both the government and citizenry-herd, twisting and turning with changing circumstances.

    They are deucedly reactive, their words and deeds boom as a cloying mime of irate mobs, corrupt politicians, and corporations’ reprobate wiles.

    They are a spectacle of submission and ideological sodomy, the dreg beneath the totem pole. Hence they could have no real access to power even as they make a public show of speaking truth to power, and about power.

    Eitan Hersh, Associate professor of political science at Tufts University identify courtiers as “political hobbyists,” and highlights their perfect contrast in the person and politics of Querys Martias. The 63-year-old Dominican immigrant, resident in Haverhill, United States, presents a rare exemplar to supposedly educated eggheads.

    For Matias, politics isn’t just a hobby. In her day job, she is a bus monitor for a special-needs school. In her evenings, she amasses power. By leading a group called the Latino Coalition (LC) in Haverhill, she unites the Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and Central Americans who together make up about 20 percent of Haverhill. The coalition gets out the vote during elections, but it does much more than that, notes Hersh.

    The coalition has met with the Haverhill representative in the Congress and asked for regular, Spanish-speaking office hours for its community. It advocates for immigration reform and federal assistance in affordable housing. The coalition has also met with the mayor, the school superintendent, and the police department requesting more Latinos in city jobs and on city boards.

    Matias’ political participation is strategic; the 63-year-old influences governance to the benefit of her community. The coalition operates with discipline, combining electoral strategies with policy advocacy under her leadership.

    Unlike Matias, Nigeria’s college-educated intellectuals personify Hersh’s political hobbyist stereotype. They are disproportionately educated, flaunting several awards, titles, and postgraduate degrees.

    They espouse politics of the soapbox; a wanton game in which they debate Nigeria’s big issues on abstract merits – often mouthing off their “superior” logic or sounding off for clout in social space or on government-sponsored think-tanks.

    Their assemblage thrives on pseudo-realism; their ability to doctor, propound, and market spurious experience. In reality, they are toxic to politics and harmful to the country.

    Nigeria would do better if her eggheads redirected political energy to serve the people. They could start at the grassroots, where government presence is non-existent, for instance.

    To re-establish relevance and repair in integrity, Nigeria’s eggheads, revolutionary heroes, youth leaders, or whatever other labels they answer to, must detach from ideological voyeurism and fault-finding – a tactic of assault and defence that eventually became their nemesis and tomb.

    They must seek to empower people. Elite fora like The Platform and showy townhall meetings – hastily conceived at election time – are futile against the scheming and might of predatory oligarchs.

    For so long, Nigeria’s public intellectuals have united to market cunning and rhetoric, for and against selfish segments of the political class; it’s about time they united in the interest of the electorate.

    Grassroots politics thrives on empowerment; helping imperiled peasant farming communities defeat insecurity, desert encroachment, and flooding; improving fringe communities’ access to health care, electricity, and good roads, and providing soft loans to unemployed youths, SMEs, and agricultural start-ups would foster societal progress in no small measure.

    These could be achieved by attaining real political power. Nigeria’s eggheads must seek collaboration in modest and large organisations to meet the immediate and long-term needs of the people. Then, when an election comes dawns, the community would show up. Call it dividends of their investment in the people’s emotional bank account.

    Some would call it strategic citizenship. It’s realistic, humane, and real politics. It’s the kind of engagement that public intellectuals must perform to give substance to their professed clout.

    And it’s precisely the kind of politicking that helps the electorate shun the tokens and humiliating food packs, often handed out by the political class in exchange for their votes, at election time.

    If they could humanely engage with the people, public intellectuals may attain noble repute, unsullied and deeply rooted from the grassroots to the glitzy corridors of power. They may assume a prideful place in the pantheon of Nigeria’s finest patriots and statesmen.

    True, fancy repute and ghostly online clout may earn them money in the short-run but they will lose it all in the long-run to the same system that taught them to be soulless hobbyists.

    They have used the soapbox and superior intellect as both a mirror and a lens to reflect society’s hypocrisy, moral corruption, and injustice.

    It’s about time they walked their talk in the interest of Nigeria and the populace.

     

  • COVID-19: Cure in knowledge of human blood radiation

    COVID-19: Cure in knowledge of human blood radiation

    Femi Kusa

     

    WITH 2020 gone into the archives, it is natural to pray and hope that 2021 will be a really brand new and clean year free of COVID-19 harassments. Afterall, the Indian boy who predicted it said it should be gone by September or December last year. But what are we hearing now? A newer and deadlier strain of COVID-19 has hit  the United Kingdom, some countries have imposed travel bans on that nation, and the new virus has found its way again into Lagos and Abuja through the usual vectors…the high and mighty Nigerians who will never learn to stop gallivanting worldwide. So, it would seem we are in it again, and must return to the trenches.

    In the trenches, there are really helpful and healing herbs. I mentioned some of them last year after I recovered from a three-week bout with look “alike” symptoms of COVID-19. My experiences and how I bounced back to life were posted in www.olufemikusa.com under the title COVID-19: Look alike  symptoms join the Lexicon. Recently, this Column has been inviting the attention again to energy medicine, as a cure for diseases. Dr Hulda Regehr Clark, author of The cure for all diseases, has featured on this page in this regard. About four weeks ago, the Bahamas attempted in psychic surgery was mentioned in the column on Diverticular, Diverticulosis , Diverticulitis And Anal Fistula.(see also www.olufemikusa.com). Last week, Mrs Grace Aina Adu, from Abeokuta, made my day with a post on the healing potentials of human radiations. Before I come to her wasap post , I would like to quickly say something about human radiations and about Dr Hulda Clark’s book which, in my opinion, may hold the key to a drugless cure of Coronavirus infection but was trampled underfoot decades ago by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA).

       Human  Radiation

    This column is noted for saying everything which exists is a gradation of energy. If we rely on physics and electricity to understand this concept, we may speak of voltages of different gradations and of bigger voltages consuming smaller ones or breaking them down. That is why a person in contact with a high voltage electricity source the body cannot resist is electrocuted. The source of human radiation is not the physical body. It is that “breath of life” breathed into the mud or clay body to give it life…the human spirit. As it glows through the body, the physical vessel in which it sojourns on earth comes alive. There is no doubt that this vessel must thereafter develop and maintain its own energy to be in union with the spirit. How well it does so will depend on how well it is looked after dietarily and through lifestyles of the being within, the spirit. When the spirit departs or withdraws, the body falls apart, lifeless, dead.

    There is abundant evidence that human radiation exists. Animals like to come around humans because human radiation helps them to form their souls. Observe the cat, dog, chicken or goat. We can ask: What about snakes and lions? They, too, should freely live with humans had humans not lost touch with their responsibility on earth to unite all creatures under their dominion. In the days of Gautama Bhuddah in India, humans and snakes lived together in harmony. Snakes attended human festivals in worship of the Most High and were used for security guards of communities. Several years ago, I accompanied Mr Lade Bonuola, when he was Managing Director of Guardian Newspaper, to a rural town for the funeral of one of the parents of his wife. We had an open air reception in the evening enlivened with classical music. I knew something would happen because there was a farm nearby. Suddenly, there was shouting, and the reception temporarily broke up. A snake had come around! Snakes enjoy classical music , and this one may have come to felicitate with us. Unfortunately, they now live in fear of us and we of them. The beautiful days of Bhuddah are long gone. In those days, men understood the language of animals and conversed with them. People who live in big houses know that uninhabited rooms smell stale, while inhabited ones are fresh smelling. In the villages, houses collapse not simply because they are old but because they are uninhabited as inhabited older houses show no signs of strain. It is easy to note from this that something human maintain houses!

    If we doubt, it is probably because we have never reared animals. I once reared rabbits and pigs. If rabbit babies fall from the cage and you pick them with bare hands and return them to the cage, the mother rabbit will abandon them. This is because she will smell something human on them. So, the wise rabbit farmer picks them with gloved hands. If there is no glove, the farmer caresses the body of the mother rabbit for some time. During this time, something from the rabbit’s body hangs over the farmer’s hand and reflects on the baby rabbit’s body when it is picked with bare hands. This is an interesting aspect of pig farming. Female pigs (sows) breeds about two times a year. The gestation period is about three months, three weeks and three days from the time she is taken during her “heat” period to the boar (male) for mating. The farmer expects a litter of between 8 and 10 piglets to recoup breeding cost. Sometimes, the budget is ruined by a litter of three or four piglets.

    The disappointed farmer may be self centered. In that case, the sow may be sent right away to be “crossed” by a boar while its piglets are taken away to another nursing mother. The mother pig would tell them out from her own piglets if the precautions mentioned in respect of the rabbit are not observed. The mother pig may bite the strange piglets to death or eat them raw.

    Christians who are familiar with the story of the cure of the woman with the issue of blood for several years when she touched the garment of the Lord Jesus, should know  this is healing by radiation. We do not know which disease produced the seeming perpetual bleeding. But it is obvious that her system was down. Energy from the Being of Jesus suffused His garment. By touching His garment, energy flowed through her and she became healed. Immediately she touched his garment, Jesus asked:”Who touched me, for I perceive power go out of me”. This statement confirms that “power” is ever going out of us, suffusing our clothing and other personal effects and connecting us with these items wherever they may be. Elisha maintained connection with his master prophet Elijah, when he obtained the former’s garment as he was borne aloft heavenwards in a chariot of fire, an ethereal, not physical, event. We read of king Solomon and the maidens who laid around him to keep him warm. Maidens, like children, have an abundance of animistic energy, which is why, in the healing protocols of some cultures, it is encouraged that children stick around a sick person. Can we forget connections of the placenta to a new born baby? In Africa, it is buried in “safe” places where no one can easily discover it. It is believed that anything done to the placenta would travel on its radiation connection to the owner and impact the message physically on him or her . We are very likely familiar with the stories of missing clothes, head gears or even shoes and stands of sponge in our villages. In Europe, trees are planted on placenta sites. It is believed that conditions of such trees reveal the fortunes of” owner ” wherever he or she may be on the face of the earth. Thus, radiation connections should advise against the wearing of second hand clothes and briefs which is common in Nigeria today. Who knows what the last owner suffered from and if a radiation connection still exists with the clothes or undies? Can the radiations of disease (s) not travel on this radiation bridge to the new owner?

    Human radiation is felt more in the blood stream. The spirit makes the blood. That is why blood circulation ensues in about the middle of pregnancy, evidenced in the first foetal kicks, when the soul takes possession of the growing baby and crashes with the physical death. It is through blood radiation that the spirit communicates with the body and uses it. As the spirit is the highest creature on earth, human blood radiation is meant to be the strongest vibration on earth. This should, therefore, mean that nothing outside configurations of the body should exist in it. The blood radiation should easily pulverize and vanquish it. Therefore, where disease can still thrive in human body, investigations sho   uld be directed more towards the blood radiation and the soul and the physical body. Already, as we may soon see, mankind was forewarned in the 1920s that blood diseases would erupt in our time because blood radiation was ebbing as the soul and spirit became more subjected to higher voltages of energy pouring down like rainfall upon the earth as it approached the precincts of a new age.

    Dr Clark

    She said in her main book, Cure For All Diseases, and other books that all diseases were caused by parasites and could be cured by a simple electrical device which she designed and produced for sale. She offered the design free in her book to show her honesty of purpose.

    The summary of her proposition is that everything which exists announces its existence through a peculiar emanation equivalent to a radio frequency. Thus, if the radio frequency of a parasite, say corona virus, was known, it would be easy to destroy it by producing a radio frequency to jam and dismantle its own. This process is akin to the jamming of the broadcast of a radio or television station, or of the signals of early warning systems in outer space. The medical and scientific community in the United States denounced Dr Clark and pursued her out of the country with law suits. They had what appeared to be a last laugh in 2009, when, at the age of 82, Dr Clark died of blood and bone cancer.  Why didn’t she cure herself , they asked. The same jest question was made of Dr Linus Pauling who advanced mega doses of vitamin c for the cure of diseases. He died of cancer at about 104 years, two nobel prize awards behind him, neither of which he shared with anyone , a rare honour. The major critics of Dr Paulin died in their 60s and 70s. Nevertheless, sarcasm was what the disciples of his critics hurled at his earthly remains. The wise Chinese followed the medical teachings of Dr Pauling about COVID-19 and vitamin c, and  bounced out of the pandemic, whereas his opponents are still searching for incomprehensible solutions.

    Dr Clark may not get it all right. For not all diseases are caused by parasites. The strength of the vigour of health lies in the blood, spiritually speaking. We cannot run away from this, for we are human spirits on earth from the spirit world, paradise. The spirit animates the body, that is gives it life which makes the body to exist as though it has a life of its own. But when the spirit detaches itself from the body, the body falls apart, lifeless, dead! What gives the body its existence as a living form is the blood, which is made by the spirit. And, as it is now known, nothing which is not meant to exist in the body such as parasites, can exist in it if the Blood Radiation is of optimum strength and health. Where it is not, it means the spirit is weak, sick, not vibrating well. That is a spiritual question which no earthly medicines can cure. Today, the majority of mankind equates spiritual life and questions to not the spiritual but the religious.

    COVID Vibrations

    This is what I titled a wasap post from a swiss cross bearer which Mrs Grace Aina Adu, a crossbearer, sent to me from Abeokuta. If you wonder who a cross bearer is, he or she is an adherent of The Grail Message- InThe Light of Truth, by Abdrushin. The post says…

    I’ve got this from a Swiss crossbearer so stimulating:

    Swing up

    The spiritually minded will understand:

    The Covid virus has an oscillation of 5.5 Hz and dies above 25.5 Hz.

    For people with a higher vibration, infection is a minor irritant that will soon be eliminated!

    The reasons for low vibration can be:

    All forms of fear, phobia, stress, tension.

    Jealousy, anger,

    Hate, greed,

    Attachments or pain

    And so we have to understand how to vibrate higher so that the lower frequency does not weaken our immune system.

    The frequency of the earth today is 27.4 Hz. But there are places that vibrate very quietly like:

    Hospitals, Help centres, Prisons,

    In the underground etc.

    Here the vibration drops to 20 Hz or less.

    The virus becomes dangerous for people with low vibration.

    Pain 0.1 to 2 Hz. Fear 0.2 to 2.2 Hz.

    Being irritable/tension 0.9 to 6.8 Hz.

    Noise/being loud 0.6 to 2.2 Hz. Proud 0.8 Hz.

    Superiority 1.9 Hz.

    On the other hand, increased vibrations are created in the following behaviours/inner moods:

    Generosity 95hz, Gratitude 150 Hz

    Compassion 150 Hz or more.

    The frequency of love and compassion for all living beings is 150 Hz and more.

    Unconditional and universal love from 205hz

    So come on …

    swing higher !!!

    What helps us create high vibrations?

    Love, smile, bless, give thanks, play, paint, sing, dance, yoga, tai chi, meditate, walk in the sun/daylight, exercise, enjoy nature, etc.

    Food that the earth gives us: seeds-grains-cereals-legumes-fruits and vegetables-

    Drinking water: helps us swing higher ….. !!!

    The vibration of the prayer alone goes from 120 to 350 Hz • So sing, laugh, love, meditate, play, thank and live!

    Let’s swing high … !!!

    Postscript

    Abdrushin completed The Grail Message- In The Light Of Truth in the late 1920s when two significant events in the universe took place. First, the earth came under a new Age. Then, the universe completed its gigantic cycle to usher in a Cosmic Turning- Point. Space does not permit descriptions of these events. Suffise it to say that the earth now is in The Aquarian Age in the cosmic clock, also known as the third Reich or Kingdom  of the Holy Spirit, after the age of the Father And The Son. As the Holy Spirit created the universe, mankind should expect the Final Judgment of which Jesus forewarned. In summary, THE Aquarium Age and The Cosmic Turning Point impact the earth with stronger vibrations than it has hitherto come under. Mature human spirits withstand them and flourish  in them as was intended by cosmic forces beyond man’s control. Immature human spirits cannot bear the pressure. As the spirit forms the body and the blood, that means sick spirit, sick blood and sick body. Thus, based on His assessment of the spiritual state of making,  Abdrushin,  forewarned in those days that our civilisation would experience a flourish of blood diseases. COVID-19 has been one in a long chain of them which includes cancer of all sorts and HIV/ AIDS. When the spirit is strong and healthy by spiritual, not intellectual definition, no material pathogen or substance can take root in its well vibrating blood circulation. Many of us human beings on the earth today are now like chicken bitten in the rain, cold and shivering.

    In the spiritual school that the earth is, we can also be likened to school children who are” O” Level failures but have found themselves about to write a university degree final examination. So insightful for this day were Abd-rushin’s admonitions that neither drugs nor injections but the right kinds of foods and drinks bring lasting health… and that humanity, groping in the dark for radiant health, ignoring the simple and searching for the incomprehensible (vaccines), may infuse the physical body with more and more poisons.

  • Students and night classes

    Students and night classes

    By Fortune Amaechi

     

    WHEN we think of night classes, what comes to mind?

    For some it is to read, for others it is to reconnect with friends they are not able to meet during the day while for some, it is to fraternise.

    Night classes also known as evening classes is a language mostly used in our higher institutions and is a term applied to where and when students attend to their academic activities during the evening  or at night because of  serene environment. In night classes, students who have busy schedules during the day make out time to study and prepare for their exams. Students use this opportunity to cover all or most of their courses.

    According to a survey carried out in 2013 by the American College Health Association, students undergo a certain level of stress especially due to lack of sleep.

    Based on research, adults need an average of seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Most times, students who go for night classes are not able to balance their schedule because of a busy day. It is expected that for one to engage in night classes, he/she should be able to plan his/her time right; that is keeping a regular sleep schedule, avoid taking in caffeine or alcohol before going to bed and if there is no ample time to sleep, a nap could be good.

    Some students with misplaced priorities find the night class a socialising ground, a time out from all academic activities where they can meet up with old pals and discuss issues not academic related.

    Night classes  help students to be ahead of the class.Students also have more time to prepare before the class.

    Many  students who  engage in part-time jobs during the day also  revert to night classes to cover up lost grounds.

    Night classes help students to  expand their  network because they  meet with people from other departments, with people who may have graduated in their field or with people doing higher degrees in their course of study.Thus, they can  discuss and learn more from them  and establish a relationship that can last for a lifetime.

    Students are, therefore, advised to maximise every opportunity they have in night classes and forsake distractions. They should also be focused and set their priorities right before attending night classes.

  • Between education and skill acquisition

    Between education and skill acquisition

    By Glory Thomas

     

    THE importance of education cannot be overemphasised. However,with the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the world, Nigeria inclusive, it has now become imperative for education to go parri passu with skill acquisition. For any country to grow and develop rapidly in all areas,youths should be made to acquire skills.

    For instance, not everyone has the  opportunity or will to have the wherewithal to be educated, but premium should be placed on skill acquisition which is key to  promoting entrepreneurship and eradication of unemployment.

    For ages,education has been tagged the “Best Legacy” even in Nigeria. It is however, disappointing  that education still suffers in  the country. Hence,youths hold the view that “School is scam.” What is the essence of being educated and not being employed? What is the essence of attending school for many years if graduates will roam the streets jobless?

    The majority of  youths struggled to be certificated, some graduated with distinction, upper credit  and the likes just to become someone in life but what has the certificate provided for them so far? Some have abandoned their dreams and have turned cab drivers, some  okada riders due to unemployment. On the contrary, some refused to go to school and used skill acquired effectively to  become  billionaires. It is baffling if “education is the best legacy.”

    Youths who are not ready to go to school or acquire skills resort to crime.Some even believe in buying certificate than working hard for it.Some  have lost interest in education such that their  parents compel them to be educated.To most of them,education no longer has value.

    However, for education to be appealing and beneficial, it must be life long, planned, deliberate, sociological, psychological and systematic. There is no doubt, that the benefits of education go beyond having a certificate which is a pointer that  one is educated. It helps the learner to reap and relish development in all facets of life. One who is roundly developed educationally will never be a social enemy or miscreant.

    Education is unarguably an essential ingredient of social and personal development  in all areas. In fact, it is a requisite and an undying asset of human society. It is on the basis of this that every human society that values or treasures it ensures that it is held sacrosanct and protected for posterity and progress. Unfortunately, societies that do not know or appear not to know the indispensability of education will always joke with it.

    However, it is  high time Nigerians proved this saying that “education is the best legacy” and stop making  youths feels education is scam.
