When a journalist interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning Maize each year he entered his maize in the Agricultural Show, his secret was that the farmer shared his seeds with his neighbours.
The reporter asked dumbfoundedly, “How can you afford to share your best seeds with your neighbours when they are entering their maize in competition with yours each year?”
The farmer replied with a smile welled up in his face, "The wind picks up pollen from the ripening maize and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior maize, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my maize. If I am to grow good maize, I must help my neighbours grow a good crop".
So it is with our lives. Those who want to live meaningfully and well, must help enrich the lives of others.For the value of a life is invariably equivalent to the lives it touches for good. And those who choose to be happy, must help others to find happiness.
For the welfare of each individual is tied up with the welfare of all.
Call it power of collectivism.
Call it a principle of success.
The fact remains, “None of us truly wins, until we all win.”
Love your neighbour as yourself, says an Anglo-african marxism.
Know this secret as you grow older and it is always good to know that, "what goes around must surely come around".
In life, when you help the people around you to be good, you surely becomes the best.

The President's arrival at the southeast of the country was met with ecstatic conviviality where he bags the highest title in Igboland, as the " Ochioha Ndi Igbo 1" and also the " Enyioma 1 of Ebonyi". And this, no doubt, has some political undertones and momentum for the President's next phase of political field of play.
MONKEYPOX SCARE: REPUDIATION BY 6 DIVISION, NIGERIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
PRESS RELEASE
DISCLAIMER NOTICE
1.

2. The authorities of 6 Division Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that while the Nigerian Army plans to undertake such gestures like free medical outreaches, sanitation exercises in host communities and distribution of educational materials as part of our community relations activities during the ongoing Operation CROCODILE SMILE II, these activities are yet to be conducted and will eventually be conducted with the consent of relevant authorities of designated communities and at venues and dates that will be duly communicated to the general public through future press releases and relevant posters.
3. For the purpose of emphasis, the Nigerian Army does not and will never carry out its medical outreaches or vaccination exercises for that matter in Schools.

MONKEYPOX SCARE: SCHOOLS IN RIVERS STATE OF NIGERIA BESIEGED BY PANICKY PARENTS.
![]() |
Monkeypox infection. |
Both primary and secondary schools witnessed an influx of parents and guardians who seemed so apprehensive and jittery about their children being injected with the Monkeypox virus.
Sequel to this unfounded rumour, all public and some private schools in Alakahia, Diobu, Rumuosi, Igwuruta, Rumuomasi Woji, were empty as parents and guardians trooped in to withdraw their children and wards from schools.
The Deputy Director Army Public Relations, 6 Division, Colonel Aminu Iliyasu said that the rumour were a mere fallacy, though, the Army planned a medical outreach as part of their contribution to the society but it has really not commenced.
Contributing to the uncertainty that has eveloped the state, the commissioner for Education, Tamunosisi Gogo-jaja over the radio Frequency Modulation 92.3 in Port Harcourt appealed to parents and guardians to remain calm and not to panick because it is a mere rumour.
He however, advised parents and guardians not to withraw their children from schools again because no immunization is going on by the Nigerian Army and moreover, such activity cannot take place without the permission of the state government.
KIDNAPPERS DOZED OFF AFTER ENJOYING THEMSELVES WITH THE HOLY COMMUNION THEY FOUND IN A PRIEST HOUSE.
A priest was having his dinner on that fateful day that kidnappers stealthily crept into his house. They blindfolded him, blocked his eardrum so that he wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
Reverend Father Timothy Nwanja was abducted alongside his personal cook in his own car to an unknown destination.
What began on Sunday night in his residence at St. Mary's Parish Okpokueze Nkomoro community, Imoha Development Center of Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria, took a dramatic turn as the abducted Priest escaped from the uncompleted building he was kept.
The kidnappers who actually made a merry with the Holy Communion they found in the Priest's house, slept off, which gave him the opportunity to escape.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Loveth Odah, the Ebonyi Police Command Public Relations Officer, however, said on Monday that the Police responded on gathered intelligence report which prompted their raid on the kidnapper's den.
According to Loveth Odah, one of the suspect was arrested and the rest two were still at large and manhunt has begun on their capture.

THE CANKERWORM CALLED, MISUNDERSTANDING...Part I
I STOPPED BOTHERING MYSELF TO EXPLAIN WHEN I REALIZED THAT PEOPLE ONLY UNDERSTAND FROM THEIR OWN LEVEL OF PERCEPTION...
Have you ever been misunderstood for once in your life? If yes, life has really thought you a lesson but if not, hold your heart ♥ so strong by the time you experience one, because it will come as long as you can still suck air through your nostrils.
On March 20th 2003, America and the allied forces invaded Iraq because they felt it had the capabilities to produce Weapons of Mass Destruction, WMD... for short. However, the war raged on with America employing the latest war machines and technology at that time, including their bullets to comb all the nooks and crannies of Irag; what did they find, absolutely a stunning revelation, that Irag does not possess WMD.. and no capabilities whatsoever to produce one...
MISUNDERSTANDING... scenarios of such are many and varied including your own life experiences: you can recount it to keep us abreast of it, if you wish to, but I can categorically tell you that it is quite an unpalatable and traumatically demoralizing experience to say the least.
This cankerworm, called MISUNDERSTANDING has caused more woes and melancholy to fledgling and promising relationships and has even abruptly truncated an age-long business partnerships, friendships and even a well-searched out, filtered, tamed, nurtured spouse for a life partner.
However, this EMEKA's colloquium will not suffice, if I fail to point out here, that this same obnoxious circumstances in life has even rendered people with ties of consanguinity in fairly talking mood or utterly incommunicado.
I therefore, appeal to every individual on earth 🌍, for God's sake, to always give a listening ear to someone and ask questions also from the primary source or listen to both parties in contention before your conclusion/judgment.
