TRANSFORMATION & CHANGE

ADVANTAGES OF EARLY MORNING SEX

Sex is good and it is meant to be enjoyed. If you want your day to be hitch-free and stress free, then, you should start your day with a good roll in the bed with your partner. Adults who make love first thing in the morning apparently not only feel more upbeat for the rest of the day, but also benefit from a stronger immune system.

Research suggests that adults who begin their day this way are healthier and happier than those who simply opt for a cup of tea and some toast before heading out of the door. Dr Debby Herbenick, an American research scientist and sex advice columnist, said: Making love in the morning releases the feel-good chemical oxytocin, which makes couples feel loving and bonded all day long.”

In his book “Because It Feels Good” he stated that sex, “makes you stronger and more beautiful”. Morning sex can strengthen your immune system for the day by enhancing your levels of an antibody which protects against infection. It also releases chemicals that boost levels of oestrogen, which improves the tone and texture of the skin and hair.

A study at Queen’s University in Belfast, also found out that making love three times a week could reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke, so, despite the demands of work and other activities, adults should try and find time for lovemaking whenever, they feel like.

 Jane Greer, an American marital therapist, said: “Mornings are the perfect time to indulge because you’ll probably be in a rush, and the heart-pounding adrenaline of spontaneous sex will intensify the entire experience and women worried who are worried that their partner will not be willing to participate in an early morning session, may find it surprisingly easy to coax their men into a bout of passion.”

Research from Nottingham University also found that men who kept up a regular sex life in their 50s were also at lower risk of developing prostate cancer. While a 2009 study found that having sex every day improves sperm quality and could boost the chances of getting pregnant.

So what are you waiting for, instead of starting an early morning quarrel, the alternative is a good round of sex after morning prayers before leaving the house. try it now and thank me later.

How Jonathan's Transformation Agenda Makes APC's Turkish Consultants Look Bad.

I had not paid a very close attention to APC’s manifesto – up until now. For a manifesto drawn up by KA Research Limited (KARL), a privately owned international research company, based in Belgium, and Turkey, it was pretty disappointing. Does APC lack believe in Nigerians? As it also gave an American company AKPD the PR Job for their campaigns

The manifesto is long on rhetoric and short on providing a realistic approach to dealing with issues that face citizens in the country. The 20-page pdf document titled ROADMAP TO A NEW NIGERIA is a poor parody that correctly situates a few of the challenges but fell short of proffering the appropriate solutions in most of the cases.

In this article, I shall compare this manifesto to the works of the President via the Transformation Agenda and leave the reader to form his own conclusions.

JOB CREATION
APC Manifesto: Create 20,000 jobs per state, match every job created by the State Government through funding with 2 jobs created by the Federal Government, direct conditional cash transfer of N5,000 to 25 million poorest and most vulnerable, establish technology and industrial estates fully equipped with ICT, power and support to attract and encourage SMEs, provide allowances to discharged but unemployed Youth Corp members, establish plants for the assembly and ultimately the manufacture of phones,tablets, computers and other devices, pay a guaranteed indexed-linked price to farmers to ensure that there is always a ready market for their produce, provide one meal a day for all primary school students and creation of a scheme that provides matching funds for businesses.

There were other points such as investment in large scale public works projects and special mention was made of a national modern railway system and interstate roads, building one million low-cost housing over the next four years, increase the number of small and medium sized enterprises, increase of investments in R&D among others.

Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda: The strategy of APC on how to create 20,000 jobs per state and match every job created at the States with 2 jobs created by the FG is very vague.

Jonathan’s SURE-P has two major sub-divisions namely: The Community Service Scheme and the Graduate Internship Scheme. The Community Service Scheme, which engages youths in intensive work such as construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure has employed over 120,000 people around the country. The Graduate Internship Scheme has matched about 4,000 graduates to competent firms to enhance skills development towards employ-ability.

The YOUWIN Business Plan Competition with 2,400 winners so far has created 26,000 direct jobs. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 2.5m jobs were created between 2013 and 2014.

APC’s plan to give N5,000 to 25m people monthly will translate to N125b on a monthly basis. It is very clear that APC did not think this through very well. How will the party fund N125b monthly? That is N1.5trillion per annum and compare this to a total annual budget of N4.3 trillion for the country in 2015! At an estimated N500 per day per child under the ‘one meal a day’ manifesto of APC and with a current enrollment of about 20m pupils, that comes to N10b per day, N50b per week and N200b per month.

FIGHTING CORRUPTION
APC Manifesto: Show zero tolerance for official and/or private sector corruption, place the burden of proving innocence in corruption cases on persons with inexplicable wealth, pursue legislation expanding forfeiture and seizure of assets laws and procedure with respect to inexplicable wealth, regardless of whether there is a conviction for criminal conduct or not, strengthen legal provisions to prevent stay of proceedings and other delays in corruption trials.

Also, guarantee the independence of anti-corruption and financial crimes agencies by legislation, charging their budgets directly to the Consolidated Revenue Fund, stop corruption in our elections, in part by making INEC and State electoral commissions truly independent and free from political interference, improve the ability of citizens to keep an eye on their government, with more open access to government data, greater disclosure of government contracts prior to awards and during implementation and ensuring the people’s business is done in an open and transparent way.

Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda: it’s interesting to see that part of APC’s manifesto for fighting corruption is by ‘placing the burden of proving innocence in corruption cases on persons with inexplicable wealth’. Maybe the recent case of the airing of ‘The Lion of Bourdillon’ documentary by AIT will prove to be an acid test of this part of the manifesto. Asiwaju Tinubu has the burden to prove the source of his inexplicable wealth. Maybe after his case is dispensed, we can now give Saraki the same treatment. The same applies to forfeiture of assets with respect to inexplicable wealth.

One core area of the manifesto that Jonathan has given priority is the improvement of ‘ability of citizens to keep an eye on their government, with more open access to government data, greater disclosure of government contracts prior to awards and during implementation and ensuring the people’s business is done in an open and transparent way.

President Jonathan signed the Freedom of Information Bill (FOI) into law on May 28, 2011 in order to achieve this. Lagos State, one of the core APC states has refused to domesticate the FOI bill stating it is not bound by it.

With the introduction of the IPPIS software, about 45,000 ghost workers in the Civil Service were uncovered with N208b saved. Also with the introduction of the e-wallet system, over 3 decades of perennial corruption in the distribution of fertilizer and seeds scam has been eliminated.

Furthermore, President Jonathan granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) proprietorial independence from the Attorney General and Minister of Justice. He signed the Anti-Money Laundering Act into law and became one of the first signatories to the Inter-governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA). He established the Nigerian Extractive Industry and Transparency Initiative (NEITI). Cecilia Ibru was convicted on October 10, 2010 under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan and she forfeited assets worth N191 billion comprising 94 properties across the world including the United States of America, Dubai and Nigeria to AMCON.

EDUCATION
APC Manifesto: Make the right of every Nigerian child to receive a free, relevant and quality education a reality, provide free tertiary education to students pursuing Science and Technology, Engineering and Math, create incentives and dedicate special attention to the education of girls, ensure every child attending primary school is properly nourished by providing a Free Meal a day, invest in better equipping and staffing Teacher Training Colleges.

Also, revamp and restructure education curricula from primary to tertiary levels, prepare young adults for the jobs of the future by expanding focus on science and technology, improve the ability of people to gain employment in a variety of fields through greater access to technical and vocational training.

Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda: Today, there is better and sustained funding of Universal Basic Education in the country through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC). The President’s commitment to quality education for all is reflected in improvements in the country’s performance in various examinations. For instance, the WASCE pass rate was highest in 2012-2013 [38% & 36%]; as compared to the 15%-25% of 2000-2009. NECO statistics reveal that in 2010, 9.36% of the total number of candidates made 5 credits & above [including in Mathematics & English]. Corresponding figures were 8.06% in 2011; 32.22% in 2012; 48.37% in 2013 and 52.29% in 2014.

To further improve the quality of instruction, Federal Government has sponsored 7,000 lecturers of federal and state tertiary institutions for post-graduate studies home and abroad. A total of 101 Presidential Special Scholarships for Innovation and Development (PRESSID) have been awarded to beneficiaries for training in top 25 universities in the world.

The number of National Certificate of Education (NCE) awarding institutions has increased from 96 in pre-Jonathan 2011 to 124 since Jonathan became president. This further lends credence to the president’s drive to make learning accessible. With the increase in NCE awarding institutions, also came an increase in student enrolment in the Colleges of Education from an average of 620,000 in 2011 to 750,000 in 2013 – a 20% increase!

In 13 states, special girl schools are being constructed while in 27 states, 125 day and boarding schools are being constructed under the Almajiri education programme, initiated by this government, to provide quality education to the teeming population of uneducated children.

12 new universities have been established to enhance access to a Federal University across the country and absorb thousands of students who are denied university admission every year. There are 9 in the northern states of Kogi, Taraba, Jigawa, Gombe, Nasarawa, Katsina, Yobe, Kebbi and Zamfara States and 3 in the southern states of Ebonyi, Bayelsa and Ekiti including two specialized Police and Maritime universities.

Between 2007-2014, the Federal Government has almost tripled allocation to the educational sector from N224b to N634b.

AGRICULTURE
APC Manifesto: Provide a government-guaranteed market for agricultural produce at world index-linked prices, revive agriculture as an engine for economic growth and new jobs, aid subsistence farmers in increasing food production and creating jobs by modernizing and commercializing farm production and increase the availability of loans and capital investments for small and medium-scale cash crops, make sure farmers have access to the resources they need and ensure Nigeria’s food supply is affordable.

Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda: I must point out that APC’s manifesto on agriculture is totally disappointing. It shows an obvious lack of appreciation of how to approach the sector and focus on it for the much needed diversification of the economy.

First ever database of farmers collated nationwide with six million farmers registered. Nigeria became the first country in Africa to develop the e-wallet for input delivery to farmers, thereby eliminating sharp practices by middlemen. Private sector seed and fertilizer companies now sell directly to farmers. Three decades of corruption in fertilizer and seed distribution ended and saved the Federal Government N25b in 2012 alone.

Government policies led to the establishment of 13 new rice mills in the country. Dry season production of rice through irrigation kick started in 10 northern states- Kebbi, Zamfara, Dokoto, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Gombe, Niger, Kogi and Bauchi- resulting in an output of 1.07 million metric tonnes. Combined production of dry season and main season paddy rice is now 1.76m metric tonnes- unprecedented in Nigeria’s history. Nigeria’s food import bill reduced from N1.1trillion in 2011 to N648b in 2012.

13 airports were designated as perishable cargo airports around the country while Dutse International Airport, Jigawa was built from scratch. The airports include Abuja, Akure, Calabar, Ilorin, Jalingo, Jos, Kano,Lagos, Makurdi, Minna, Owerri, Port Harcourt and Uyo airports.

The President through the Central Bank of Nigeria also developed some agricultural schemes through which farmers and those involved in the value chain can access credit for their farms and processes. These schemes include Commercial Agricultural Credit Scheme (CACS) worth about N200b, the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Facility (ACGSF), The Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending ( NIRSAL) and the Growth Enhancement Scheme.

The Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (ACGS), recorded N1.33 billion guarantees to 7,290 farmers in October 2014. In less than two years of its implementation, the GES scheme, has increased the number of farmers who benefit from the federal government largesse from 11 per cent to 60 per cent. The minister said about 1.5 million farmers benefited from the GES scheme in 2012, and the farmers were able to produce 8.1 million metric tonnes of food. i.e. a 70 per cent sharp increase from the food production level in the past.

HOUSING
APC Manifesto: Achieve the construction of one million low cost houses within four years, minimize income as a barrier for people to live in a safe and affordable home by increasing access to financing and promoting a working national residential mortgage market as a matter of urgency so that Nigerians of varying income levels can access mortgages at single-digit interest rates based on federal guarantees to the mortgage lenders.

Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda:
The Nigeria Mortgage Refinancing Company (NMRC) was set up under a PPP arrangement funded by the World Bank with a $300m interest-free 40-year loan with moratorium of 10 years. 10,000 mortgages will be refinanced every quarter. 61,000 housing units have been built already across the six geopolitical zones in the country.

ABUJA PROPHETIC INVASION

In a time and season when all hope is lost and our leaders have failed us comes a ray of hope, God is ready to speak to man again through his servant Prophet Anthony Olarenwaju Gold. Are you suffering any affliction, have you been in one spot more than necessary, is your marriage on a threshold of folding up? does your spiritual life need help? then be part of Abuja Prophetic Invasion with Prophet Anthony Olarenwaju Gold every Saturday morning from 8am. It's Miracle and Manifestation as you join us at Womzy Suites. I will be expecting to you 

SIGNS YOUR "I DO" WILL LAST 4EVA.

It’s never good to compare your marriage to anyone else’s, because all relationships are different, especially behind closed doors. Even the happiest couples can have dark times, and it can be stressful trying to figure out whether you’ll weather stormy moments or capsize when things get rough. Here are five ways to tell that your marriage will make it. We’re crossing our fingers for you!

1.You don’t turn into strangers when your pals are around. One of the best indicators of a good marriage is how you behave and feel when you are with both your close friends and your partner. Most people feel very relaxed and authentic around their best friends. If you were out to dinner with a couple of close girlfriends and then your husband joined you, ideally your behavior would change very little. Sure, the topics of conversation might be a little different, but your basic personality and comfort level and way of interacting should be similar. You should be able to joke the same and talk about things that are important to you whether or not your spouse is with you. If you find yourself censoring yourself and feeling tense, that might be an indicator that something is a little off in your marriage.

2. You’re not constantly saying sorry. There’s nothing wrong with apologizing here and there for mistakes that you’ve made. It’s actually a sign of good awareness of how your behaviour affects others (a great marker for a healthy relationship). Also, being courteous and grateful for the help that your partner gives you is a good thing. The problem occurs when you apologize for things that clearly aren’t a big deal, or you over-apologize. You should feel natural and at ease around your partner with the knowledge that they have a level of forgiveness and understanding of you. However, if you find yourself apologizing frequently you need to consider why that might be. Ask yourself: Are you afraid of disappointing your spouse? If so, why is that? Why would the stakes be so high if you were to make a small mistake? 

3. You can tell what your spouse is feeling. Of all people in this world the person you are married to should have a strong level of awareness of how you feel. It’s not unusual for married couples to not understand why their partner feels they way he or she does. It’s also not uncommon to struggle to perfect the skill of noticing when your partner is upset, hurt, or in pain of some kind. However, once your spouse does realize that you are experiencing emotional or physical pain, they should feel empathy and concern. It takes work in a relationship to know what to do with that empathy (how to help your partner), but you should be able to feel or imagine your spouse’s discomfort once you are aware it exists, and want that discomfort to go away.

4. And you give each other ALL OF THE FEELS. Your marriage should be a way you are able to experience many emotions. Sure, it’s best if there aren’t a ton of negative emotions. You do want some variety in your emotions when you’re with your spouse because this indicates a degree of balance. If you just experience “joy” and “fun” when you’re with your partner that might be a great thing, but you’re likely missing out of other ways to experience intimacy. An example of a range of feelings and states that may represent a balanced marriage would be joy, laughter, passion, excitement, sadness, fear, stability.

5. If you get arrested, he’s automatically your “one phone call.” The last sign of a healthy marriage is whether or not you’re able to ask your partner for favors and help when you’re in time of need, or for an ear to listen to you when you need to vent. If you find that you’re calling all your friends or asking your relatives anytime you need anything to the point where your spouse is a last option, then that’s a bad sign.

6. When you see yourself struggling too had to keep a marriage, know they is a problem and that marriage will not last.

7. When you begin to feel happier hanging out with friends or collleques or you prefer to chat when he or she is around.

Every relationship can last only if you put in your best and try to add value to your spouse.
