VARIOUS RIVER PORTS TO BE CONCESSIONED IN 2014

I remember asking my dad some days ago about the maritime sector and its effects on the country's economy and the report he gave me was not quite  encouraging  but am glad the story  could be changed for the better in  no time.

Great news for all business men and women out there especially my Igbo brothers and sisters in the maritime industry.The minister of transport, Idris Umar, has said that the Onitsha, Oguta, Baro and Lokoja River Ports would be concessioned next year.

The minister said this during an interview with a Europe correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria in London.

However, these ports will be concessioned to private operators after completion and inauguration.

What can I say?... I can already see good things happening in Nigeria.At least Lagos would become less crowded...

Many thanks to the Nigerian government for their unrelenting efforts in trying to diversify its economy. Please do not leave Warri out...lol.

DO BRAS MAKE BREASTS MORE SAGGIER???

A 15 year old French study by French Researcher,Prof. Jean-Dennis Rouillon, reveals that bras do little or nothing to reduce back pain and with time makes the breasts to sag even more. Contrary to popular belief that says that a good bra can help support the breasts thus reducing sagging.

It was reported that breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity and that a bra is a false necessity.

According to the research, women who took off their bras for good experienced 7mm lift in their nipples after a year, breast firmness and a drastic reduction in stretch marks... Impressive right?

However, the report does not mean that women should throw their bras away or go about bra less. In fact according to the study women who have worn bras for a long time(15-20yrs) might not notice a lot of difference.Read more here

WENTWORTH MILLER "PRISON BREAK STAR" IS GAY...

This news is so heart breaking that I can barely hold back tears. Suddenly all our crushes, role models, celebrities, etc are all going down that dreaded path.

Last time, former Cosby star, Raven Symone  confirmed via twitter that she was gay. Now its this Hollywood hunk and crush of so many women around the world, Wentworth Miller, thats the latest LGBT star to speak out. Though, he has denied this so many times and even said he was looking for the right "person" to settle down with. Little did we know he was going to shock people this way.

He made the revelation in a letter declining an invitation to the film festival in Russia because of the anti-LGBT laws  passed by the Russian government.

So, if everyone becomes gay I wonder what going to be left of the human race... just saying. Who's thinking what i am thinking? Read more here

KIM KARDASHIAN AUGMENTS BUTT WITH FAT FROM LEGS???

The rumour has always been that the 32 year-old television personality had butt implants and it seems that the rumours are just   rumours. According to a recent report, the new mother was “surgically” enhanced, just not with implants.

Back in 2011, Kim had an x-ray of her buttocks done in front of the cameras for the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians season 6, episode 3. She laid on her side in the family doctor’s office with her posterior in position.

The reality TV star decided to have the scan done to show that her buttocks had no implants in them as was speculated by several celebrity blogs. 

So the score in 2011 was Kim Kardashian 1 – Rumour Mill 0. She was able to “prove” that she had not partaken in plastic surgery, although she did not mention either the boob job or the liposuction that her ex revealed later.

A source revealed that, “Kim had lipo on her legs and the doctor moved the fat into her butt. Thats why it didn¹t show up on the X-ray.”

Hmm... I really don't know what to make of this report but its possible she had a liposuction done. What do you think?Read more here

ENUGU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OPENS TO THE WORLD...

The newly commissioned international airport in Enugu now known as Akanu Ibiam International Airport will officially start flying international routes via international airlines like Ethiopian Airline, Arik Air, Egypt Airlines and many others pretty soon.

Residents of South East  and South South states are all excited about the report. A lot of them are happy that they can travel to any part of the world without going to Lagos or Abuja to board  international flights... major stress relief for those of us here.

The only drawback for now is the longer hours it would take to get to destinations like London, Germany, Washington, etc due to stopovers at other destinations.

The maiden flight for Ethiopian Airlines via Enugu route is on the 24th of August, 2013. Read more here

INSPIRATIONAL: THE SUCCESS FORMULA

I choose to define formula as “a tested, trusted and working model, which can be used to achieve a desired result repeatedly”.

Most often, the formula or formulae used to arrive at the desired result is/are embedded in the system that produce the result. Therefore you need a system to apply the success formula. When you apply the right formula to the right system, you achieve the right result.

Here is a general formula to succeed in anything you do.

S = D (I + A + P) + B

Where:

S = Success, 

D = Desire,

I = Information, 

A = Action,

P = Perseverance, 

B = Believe (faith)

This formula can be applied in your career, business, spirituality, vision… just about anything you wish to succeed in... I can assure you.

Remember your basic mathematics?... 

Good! (Even if you don't... no shaking **lol)

From the above formula or equation, it is clear that D, individually, multiplies each of the variables enclosed by the bracket. What this means is that there will be no S (SUCCESS) without the D (DESIRE) to succeed.

•      It is when you have a burning DESIRE (D) to change your situation, condition or position in life, or move higher in your career, business, academic, spirituality, or even bring your vision or dream to reality; that you will begin to seek for proper INFORMATION (I) on how to achieve such desire.
•        It is that same DESIRE that will cause you to take appropriate ACTION (A) based on the info you have; no matter how difficult it may be.
•       Haven taken the right action, the DESIRE to succeed will also cause you to exercise patient, PERSEVERE and persist until you succeed. Like Pastor Chris would say; keep saying, don’t stop saying it… until you see result.  **You can see that all you need to attain success is a BURNING desire. NO DESIRE, NO SUCCESS.  
• Finally you need to BELIEVE. Believe in God, believe in yourself and believe in the system you are in. Look beyond the mountain before you; visualize the other side of the mountain. Have faith! Believe that you will achieve SUCCESS against all odds.

By the way, I am Nwosu Paul,  Engineer,Entrepreneur and blogger you will be reading my posts here periodically. So feel free to ask questions about this post where necessary by dropping comments via this blog. Until I come your way again, I want you to rekindle the DESIRE for SUCCESS in your heart and KEEP SUCCEEDING…God bless you all.
