You’re stronger than you think you are. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. There is nothing to hold you back except you. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a matter of wanting it bad enough. No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. You are limited only by your own imagination. Let it fly. Perception is reality. Your instincts can be trusted. There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how

‘ Thank you God for blessing me today, and thanks to MTN oya limpopo ‘’ The quote above is from a very happy Kcee (former KC Presh band member) who recently joined the likes of Iyanya, Chidinma, Praiz, Wizkid and Davido as one of MTN’s brand ambassadors.

A police corporal, Ajisafe Amos, escaped being lynched yesterday by angry students of the University of Ibadan when he gave a 400-level student of the institution, Adewale Adegboyega, a hot chase and allegedly shot his car at the main entrance of the university. Adegboyega, who is a student in the Department of Guidance and Counselling of the institution said he ran into the campus because he was not sure of his safety in the hands of the policemen he encountered. The police corporal reportedly shot twice with one bullet hitting the rear tyre of the student’s car. As the students heard the gunshots, they reportedly scampered for safety for fear of stray bullets. In protest of the action of the police team, the students led by the Student Union Government President, Babatunde Badmus, demanded the dismissal of the trigger-happy policeman. He added that it was dangerous for a policeman to shoot in  densely-populated institutions like the University of Ibadan. They seized the i

For the first time, a Nigerian hospital has blazed the trail in metallic replacement of the whole arm bone, shoulder and elbow joints. The life-saving medical procedure which is the first in Nigeria and West Africa was performed by a team of surgeons at Lagoon Hospitals, Lagos. The team was led by Dr. Segun Abudu, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Orthopedic Hospital, Birmingham UK, seconded to the hospital. Commenting on the ground breaking surgery, the Hygeia Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lars Stork noted that a significant number of Nigerians who go abroad for similar treatment will now have it done in the country. Stork added that the outstanding achievement demonstrated the commitment of the hospital to operating at global standards. Research shows that there are only approximately 50 – 60 cases of this type of surgery performed even in the UK to date, therefore making this surgery historical. This operation adds to the number of high-end surgeries we ha

Nelson Mandela’s foundation has vowed to press ahead with upcoming 95th birthday celebrations, as the global peace icon underwent a twelfth day in hospital Wednesday for a recurring lung infection. On the frail icon’s July 18 birthday, various charity organisations and businesses will paint schools, hand out food parcels and books, and run a 67 kilometre (41 miles) relay marathon in the spirit of Mandela’s 67 years of activism and public work. Mandela spent 27 years in jail for his opposition to white minority rule, and walked free to become the country’s first black president after all-race elections in 1994. “We see this as an opportunity for people to rise above Madiba’s hospitalisation,” said Sello Hatang, the foundation’s CEO, referring to Mandela by his clan name. The Nobel peace laureate, who devoted his life to promote education and AIDS activism, wanted people to carry on his good work, his great-grandson Mbuso Mandela told AFP. “His idea for me was just to continue the
