Special Report: Let Me Say It Loudly and Clearly to President Bola Tinubu

Image
Senator Ned Nwoko is not just APC’s best legislator. He is Nigeria’s biggest nationalist asset right now. Use him or lose this country to the same hands that almost sold Delta State to take you out of power in the 2023 presidential election — all in the name of seeking not only your seat but also the seat of VP Kashim Shettima under the guise of PDP vice presidential candidate. Delta politics is no longer local. It is a national chessboard. The forces that bankrolled the attempt to unseat you in 2023 are regrouping. They understand Senate numbers, committee control, and the Red Chamber’s influence on national direction. If APC sleeps on its own assets, 2027 will be fought with 2023’s weapons, only sharper. Ned Nwoko is not a career talking head. He is a bridge. South-South credibility, international exposure, legal intellect, and grassroots mobilization in one man. From the Paris Club refunds fight to malaria eradication advocacy, his record shows a legislator who thinks nation first. ...

Philanthropy Today......A Special Report: Long After the Applause Fades — Plateau Remembers Apostle Salman's ₦200 Million Jos Crises Victims Support

Image
•By Mike Cerutti, publisher Richlist International magazine  “ Giving is not measured by what leaves your hand, but by what it restores in another’s heart.”  Long after the cameras left Government House Jos, long after the handshakes and official photographs, the weight of Apostle Joshua Selman’s ₦200 million intervention still moves through the camps and burnt communities of Plateau State. It was not a pledge whispered for headlines. It was cash and relief materials delivered — 3,000 bags of rice, cooking oil, and other essentials — placed directly into a hurting moment during his courtesy visit to Government Office Jos  Speaking after presenting the donation, Apostle Selman said: _“We thought it was responsible not only in capacity of ministers of the gospel, but being sons of the soil, it is a display of responsibility beyond compassion to visit the state, identify and commiserate with the families that have lost lives and property... So we brought a truck of 3,000 bag...

Human Development.....Oil Magnate Chief Akpoduado Speaks On Power Of Self-Esteem.

Image
Chief Sunday Onos Akpoduado, an oil and gas expert and  the  "Principal Oil and Gas Consultant" based in North Carolina in the USA has emphasized the critical role of self-esteem in personal and professional success. Speaking to _Richlist International Magazine_ at Jevista High Street, Lekki House, the oil magnate delivered a candid message on why self-worth cannot be outsourced. According to Chief Akpoduado, no one goes far in life if you lack self-esteem. He argued that confidence is the foundation for leadership, deal-making, and resilience, especially in high-stakes sectors like oil and gas. Without a solid sense of self, opportunities are missed and potential is left untapped. He stressed a principle he lives by: you must first look in the mirror and commend yourself before waiting for the world to commend you. For Akpoduado, external validation is secondary. The first approval must come from within, because self-commendation builds the conviction needed to face boardroo...
