Home planners gather here for a meeting.

Listen to me carefully.

You will hear stories like December is coming so price of rice will soon go up.

Do not allow vendors to push you to panic-buy rice for the festive season due to the following reasons:

1. India has lifted the ban on rice that was in place since 2023.
2. There has been an increase in the production of local rice.
3. The harvesting of yams, potatoes, plantains, and bananas is ongoing, providing alternatives to rice.
4. You can also help control the market by avoiding the purchase of rice at exorbitant prices as gift items. This year, consider other gift ideas, such as chicken, fruit baskets, or fabric materials.

I am not trying to spoil the market for rice vendors o. I am only trying to help you stay sane.

If the price of rice should go beyond 70k per bag, just know that it is artificial inflation and I appeal to the government to intervene.

Enjoy your sunday and stop thinking of where you will get money to give people rice as gifts for Christmas.

I love this Mart.

Don't be happy picking a mattress on the street. If it was useful, the owner would not have put it there.

Don't allow anyone to judge you.

Educators look into the face of every child under your care.

I saw a child who didn't look happy on his way to school this morning and I was led to interact with him. I asked him why he looked so unhappy and he started crying 😭😭😭 telling me that he didn't eat breakfast. It really broke my heart. This is a child of about 5 or 6 years old going to school without food. Some children really go through a lot. As I looked at him, so many things came to my mind. What will be the reaction of his teacher if he does not cooperate in class? Won't hunger make him to be a bully?

Therefore, it is not wise for a teacher to judge a child's learning abilities on intelligence.
Hunger can have significant negative effects on a child's education. Here are some of the possible effects:

✍️Lack of concentration: Hunger can make it difficult for a child to concentrate on their studies. When a child is hungry, they may constantly think about food, making it challenging to focus on learning activities.

✍️ Reduced cognitive abilities: Hunger can impair cognitive abilities, including memory, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. These abilities are crucial for learning and academic achievement.

✍️Fatigue and low energy: A hungry child may experience fatigue and low energy levels, which can make it harder for them to actively participate in classroom activities and engage with the material being taught.

✍️ Behavioral issues: Hunger can contribute to behavioral issues such as irritability, restlessness, and difficulty controlling emotions. These behaviors can disrupt classroom dynamics and hinder the child's learning process.

✍️Poor academic performance: When a child goes to school hungry, their academic performance is likely to be negatively affected. They may struggle to comprehend and retain information, resulting in lower grades and overall academic achievement.

✍️ Lower attendance and engagement: Hunger may lead to absenteeism and truancy as the child may find it challenging to attend school regularly. Additionally, hunger can reduce their motivation to actively participate in class discussions or complete homework assignments.

✍️ Stunted physical and mental development: Insufficient nutrition due to hunger can hamper a child's overall growth and development, including their brain development, which is crucial for academic success.

Addressing hunger and ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals is essential to counteracting these effects and promoting optimal educational outcomes for all children. If you have such a child in your class and you have money, please buy him or her food and send communication to the parents, encouraging them to feed the child before sending him or her to school no matter how little.

Don't joke with the faces of children around you so that you don't make a broken 💔 child 🚸 completely shattered.

Yes you can't do it.
You can't fall.
You can't give up.
You can't breakdown.
You can't be frustrated.
You can't commit su***de in a difficult world.🌎
You can't afford not to smile 😊
You can't make money and not enjoy it.

Find a way to enjoy all your can't in positive vibes.

Have a wonderful new week.

I scrolled through my bookshelf this morning and I was so excited to find this legendary English Text by late Prof. David Eka, written in 1994. Have you thrown away your old books. There is so much sweetness in vintage ideas. However, we are in a season where ideas and grammar are revolving. Hence, there is great need to access wisdom from the ancient masters of any profession. Reading this book then was to enable me pass my exams but reading this book now is to gain wisdom.

One of it is that I was taught right from primary school that it is entirely wrong to use American English for communication here in Nigeria since British English is our official language of communication . However, this book states that " In Nigeria the great majority of writers in the English Language use British spellings. But the American spellings can also be used, provided this is done consistently "

I was also taught that it is wrong to start a sentence with But and I have been teaching my children that when going through their write ups. Now I have also learnt differently because I am now reading differently.

Anyway, all I have to say is for continuous self development, read differently, learn differently and act differently. Stay positive and have a blessed Sunday!

Sometimes I can fear o. Today I went to a shop to buy groundnuts. On getting there, I discovered that the owner of the shop was praying. As I looked closer it looked liked it was incantation so I left and didn't buy from her again. Don't quote me wrong I do not hate prayer. My major concern is who the prayer is being offered to . I just learnt that some spiritual venture can be counter productive. Unscramble the secrets of being a spiritual person in business.

I often see students feel frustrated in the University environment because they did not learn resilience before starting school. University is research based . Hence, stress is inevitable. Therefore, there is need to expose children to practical reality about life on developing inner strength for success in a seemingly difficult terrain.
