A living Youth's Death

The agony of a youth...

When i say Jesus pls come back, its not like i want the world to come to an end but the fact that i want this life to come to an end.

Its not that life is not rossy or that friends are not worth having but the fact that there is a part that is sick and tired of the life i am in.

In this world that we are in, if everybody wants everything to go their own way then i guess we are all in our dream-land.  Earth ain't no fantasy, but a reality.

I find myself in this reality, in pain, in sorrow and a fake smile. Happiness that doesn't last, sadness that breaks one's heart, pain that would tear one in shreds.

This Life that i live, this life is saddening. A life were your freedom to speech is not free. A life were you would wish for an end. A life were to survive you have to live in a lie. A life without a truth. A life were one has to accept everything that happens as pre-destined.

And this is also a life some people would kill to have.  A life that i'm willing to give.

A.O.B- Pastor who had a Vision: Governor

I’ll be next governor of Lagos –Pastor

A Lagos-based pastor, Mr. Kayode Jacobs, says he has been chosen by God to become the next governor of Lagos State.

Jacobs said this during an interview at PUNCH PLACE, the corporate headquarters of PUNCH Nigeria Limited, Magboro, Ogun State, on Monday.

He admitted that although he had little money, he could defeat the Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro; and Jimi Agbaje to clinch the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Jacobs, who runs Family and Relationships Ministry in Lagos, said he had been in politics for over 20 years having worked with a former Minister of Information, Mr. Dapo Sarunmi.

The pastor, who is an indigene of Badagry, said he had the backing of a large number of pastors in the state as well as massive grass roots following in 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas.

He said, “This is my David moment. You see, nobody expected David to become king of Israel because he was the last son but when God would favour him, he picked him from obscurity. I am sure that God’s favour will see me through.”

When asked why he was gunning for governorship instead of lower political positions, the journalist turned pastor, said the governorship position was the only office he could make a huge impact.

He said, “I don’t want to be a senator or a House of Representatives member because I don’t want to be debating and making laws. I need a position whereby I can make a direct impact on the lives of the people. Also, this was the position I was directed to contest for.”

Jacobs said Governor Babatunde Fashola’s policies were not people-friendly. He said Fashola’s government only favoured the rich while the poor were neglected.

He noted that Fashola’s achievements in terms of public infrastructure would not stand the test of time.

BENEFITS OF SWEET POTATOES

sweet potatoes sweet potatoes sweet potatoes sweet potatoes

Not only are sweet potatoes readily available, inexpensive, and delicious, they have many other benefits for your health. Here are some…

-They are high in vitamin B6, which helps reduce the chemical homocysteine in our bodies. Homocysteine has been linked with degenerative diseases, including heart attacks.
- They are a good source of vitamin C. While most people know that vitamin C is important to help ward off cold and flu viruses, few people are aware that this crucial vitamin plays an important role in bone and tooth formation, digestion, and blood cell formation. It helps accelerate wound healing, produces collagen which helps maintain skin’s youthful elasticity, and is essential to helping us cope with stress. It even appears to help protect our body against toxins that may be linked to cancer.
- They contain Vitamin D, which is critical for immune system and overall health at this time of year. Both a vitamin and a hormone, vitamin D is primarily made in our bodies as a result of getting adequate sunlight. Vitamin D plays an important role in our energy levels, moods, and helps to build healthy bones, heart, nerves, skin, and teeth, and it supports the thyroid gland.
- Sweet potatoes contain iron. Most people are aware that we need the mineral iron to have adequate energy, but iron plays other important roles in our body, including red and white blood cell production, resistance to stress, proper immune functioning, and the metabolising of protein, etc.
- Sweet potatoes are a good source of magnesium, which is the relaxation and anti-stress mineral. Magnesium is necessary for healthy artery, blood, bone, heart, muscle, and nerve function.
They are a source of potassium, one of the important electrolytes that help regulate heartbeat and nerve signals. Like the other electrolytes, potassium performs many essential functions, some of which include relaxing muscle contractions, reducing swelling, and protecting and controlling the activity of the kidneys.
- Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet-tasting but their natural sugars are slowly released into the bloodstream, helping to ensure a balanced and regular source of energy, without the blood sugar spikes linked to fatigue and weight gain.
