Buhari’s govt bombs Obasanjo: You frittered away opportunity

Lai Mohammed: sends another bomb to Obasanjo

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has dismissed as incorrect former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s description of Nigeria as a failing state.

Mohammed admitted the nation faces challenges, but he said they are being confronted headlong by the Buhari administration.

”Nigeria today is not a failed state, but a nation that is courageously tackling its challenges and building a solid infrastructure that will serve as the basis for socio-economic development, a nation that is unrelenting in battling insecurity and working hard to ensure greatest prosperity for the greatest number of people,” Alhaji Mohammed said.

Mohammed’s response on behalf of government was issued in Abuja on Sunday.

He described as ironical that Obasanjo, who was part of a long stretch of rapacious and rudderless leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, is now turning round to point fingers at the Buhari administration.

“President Muhammadu Buhari’s assumption of office in 2015 prevented Nigeria from becoming a failed state”, Mohammed said.

“President Buhari came into office at a time that a swathe of the country’s territory was under occupation, a period when many Nigerian towns and cities, including the capital city of Abuja, were a playground for insurgents and a moment that the nation’s wealth had been looted dry, with little or nothing to show for the nation’s huge earnings, especially in the area of infrastructure .

You are dividing Nigeria – Presidency attacks Obasanjo

The presidency has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of dividing Nigeria.

An article signed by the Presidents’ Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Garba Shehu and made available to DAILY POST alleged that a recent statement by the former President was an attempt to divide the nation.

Garba Shehu, on Sunday, claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari has continued to promote nation-building and the unity of Nigeria and maintained that the difference between the two leaders is clear.

Nigerians have long stopped taking Obasanjo, Atiku seriously —APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday challenged former President Olusegun Obasanjo to provide details of how the $16billion earmarked for the development of the country’s power sector was spent under his administration.

The ruling party in a statement issued by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, also berated ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar for selling national assets to friends and cronies with attendant negative consequences on the country’s fortune.

Atiku supervised the country’s privatisation process during Obasanjo’s administration.

The ex-president had come under renewed attacks from APC over his latest comment on the state of the nation.

At a forum in Abuja last Thursday, Obasanjo lamented that Nigeria was becoming a failed state under President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership.

He also claimed that Nigeria was more divided under the current administration.

But in its reaction, the APC described Obasanjo, Atiku, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “political actors that midwifed and institutionalised the national rot, corruption, impunity, and eroding of the country’s value systems.”

The party insisted that such characters could not chart the way forward for the country.

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale  Failure has a way of shaking the very foundation of our confidence. One moment, you believe in yourself; the next, doubt creeps in, whispering that you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not destined to succeed. But here is the truth many people never tell you: failure does not destroy confidence—how you interpret failure does. If you have failed recently, this is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a wiser, stronger chapter. Understand That Failure Is Not Your Identity One of the most dangerous mistakes people make after failing is allowing the failure to define who they are. You didn’t fail because you are a failure. You failed because you tried. Every successful person you admire today has failed in one way or another. The difference is that they refused to turn a moment into a permanent label. Separate what happened from who you are. Your worth is not measured by one outcome. Al...

Growth Is Painful, But Stagnation Is Worse by Kneelyo Akinbowale

Growth is not a comfortable journey. It stretches you, challenges your beliefs, exposes your weaknesses, and forces you to confront versions of yourself you would rather ignore. Many people avoid growth not because they don’t desire progress, but because they fear the pain that often comes with it. But here is the truth many don’t like to face: while growth is painful, stagnation is far more dangerous. The Pain That Comes With Growth Growth demands change, and change rarely feels good at first. It may require you to leave familiar environments, let go of relationships that no longer serve your purpose, or unlearn habits that once kept you comfortable but now keep you stuck. Pain in growth shows up as: • Fear of the unknown • Temporary failure and embarrassment • Discipline over comfort • Sacrificing immediate pleasure for long- term fulfillment. This pain, however, has a purpose. It is the pain of becoming—of building strength, wisdom, and character. Just like muscles grow...

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The Battle That Shapes Your Future by Kneelyo Akinbowale.

In life, success is not controlled by talent alone, background, or even opportunity. More often than not, it is controlled by how we think. The mindset you adopt determines how you respond to challenges, failure, criticism, and growth. Two dominant mindsets shape human behavior: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. Understanding the difference between these two can change the direction of your life. What Is a Fixed Mindset? A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence, talent, and abilities are permanent traits. People with this mindset believe they are either “good at something” or “not good at it,” and nothing can change that. Characteristics of a Fixed Mindset: • Fear of failure • Avoiding challenges • Giving up easily • Feeling threatened by other people’s   success • Taking criticism personally • Believing talent alone leads to success Someone with a fixed mindset might say: •“This is just who I am.” •“I’m not smart enough for that.” •“I’ve tried befor...
