@davido@ApostleOfLagos #DavidoIsBetterThanWizkid

Amazingly, @davido is not scared of seeing other people rise, he is very interested and instrumental in the rising of others, he is not jealous or feels insecure about others growth, this is the truth symbol of Leadership.
@ApostleOfLagos #DavidoIsBetterThanWizkid

Interestingly, Davido is more social, open and fans friendly and Davido puts God first above every other things, he respect for the Things Of God is second to none. In my opinion, Davido is the Real GOAT. God Bless David Adeleke and his team.

I see people compare Wizkid to Davido and I consider that very insulting to David Adeleke as in who does that..? No doubt they are both doing well, but comparing Almighty Davido to Wizkid is unacceptable. Davido is far better and bigger than Wizkid, lobatan. God Bless Davido"

FG To Sell Three Power Plants For N434bn

....Lagos, Abuja, Jos, PH stadia to be concessioned

The Federal Government has revealed that it was making arrangement to sell Geregu, Omotosho and Calabar power plants for N434 billion in 2021. The government also hinted of its plan to concession National Art Theatre, Tafawa Balewa Square and all the River Basin Development Authorities at N836

million. Similarly, the federal authorities said that it would concession the National Stadium, Lagos; Moshoo

Abiola Stadium, Abuja; Jos International Stadium and Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt at N100 million each.

These proposals were contained in a document presented by the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), to the Senate during a budget defence session in Abuja. According to the breakdown, Geregu power plant, which it was learnt was constructed at the cost of $10 billion, would be sold for N140.7 billion, Omotosho Power Plant will go for N151.4 billion and Calabar Power Plant to be sold for N143.4 billion.

The document further revealed that the proceeds of the three power plants would be paid into Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC). Also, while the National Art Theatre will be concessioned for N200 million, Tafawa Balewa Square will be concessioned for N436 million and all the River Basin Development Authorities will go for N200 million.

However, the BPE is expected to appear before the Senate Committee on Privatization and Commercialization to elucidate on the details and its revenue projection in 2021, which consists of sales of power plants and concession of government-owned properties.

The committee, which is chaired by Senator Theodore Orji, has also demanded an investigation into the sale of some of the Federal Government’s shares in the Afam and Geregu Power Plants to ensure that the country is not short-changed in the transaction.

The committee has also asked the Director General of BPE, Alex Okoh, to provide members with copies of the agreements, reports and approvals from the National Council on Privatization over the transactions of the Afam and Geregu power plants for review.

Orji said: “We also found that in Geregu Power Plant, the core investor already owned 51% shares and that the transaction emanated from a request by the investor for additional 29% of FGN residual 49% shares.

“There was no competition and only BPE and their appointed transaction advisers know how the value was determined and sold for N13 billion. “Afam Power Plant, it was mentioned that there are actually two different Power Plants i.e. Afam Power Plant and Afam Fast Power (a brand new plant) built by Seimens yet to be commissioned. Reports have it that it cost about $1 million to build a megawatt of power plant a megawatt of power plant.” Geregu Generation Company Limited is located in Ajaokuta, Kogi State.

The Calabar Generation Company Limited, located in Calabar, Cross River State is five gas turbines (GE Frame 9E Gas Turbines) with 634.5MW (ISO) and 562MW (Net) capacity.

RELATIONSHIPTIPS: How "Phubbing"Is Ruining Your Relationship

Instagram can wait.


The first thing that may have come to mind when reading this headline was, "What the heck is phubbing?"


If so, don't consider yourself too out-of-date. The word is a newly minted Gen Y term (my money's on a new entry in Webster's by 2018). Similar to words like "bae," "Hundo P," and "FOMO," phubbing is an abbreviated hybrid of the words "phone" and "snubbing." Basically, it's a catchall term for when you pay attention to your phone instead of the person you're with.

You know the very scenario I'm talking about: You're sitting at a restaurant with your significant other, you're trying to have a nice meal and meanwhile, your partner has his or her head jammed so close to their screen that you legitimately wonder if their phone is going to become a growth attached to their skull.

,approximately 84 percent of the fights I have with my partner have to do with being neglected for a piece of technology. Either he's on his phone and I get mad, or vice versa. We're all phubbing each other.

As a generation of screen addicts, it's become so common that we don't even notice it anymore. "Our phones are an extension of our social life. Actually, they are our social life. It's how we connect with everyone we know and the rest of the world, instantly," says Lorrae Bradbury, a sex expert, speaker, and founder of the sex positive site, Slutty Girl Problems. "We see our partners all the time, but media is always fresh and changing. It's tempting to tune in to something new, rather than feel monotonous or familiar with our partner."

We're so accustomed to our social media habits that we've forgotten how to be present. IRL is synonymous with boring because there are no filters IRL. We're so into keeping up with our texts and likes, we don't know how to have relationships outside of them.

"IRL is synonymous with boring because there are no filters IRL."

Ira Israel, a counselor and psychotherapist, tells Marie Claire that neglecting personal time to scan your Instagram or Twitter is equivalent to emotional infidelity. That may sound like an exaggeration, but he explains that the split-screen attention span over time can eventually destroy a relationship. "The beeps and buzzes are highly addictive and whittle away at our abilities to concentrate on any one thing, even making love."


Plus, it ruins sex for everyone. If you ever needed a reason to put your phone down, please let it be the fact that it is messing with your ability to get laid.

Just the other day my partner was on his phone and didn't even notice I was trying to give him a handy-J over his khakis. He was so immersed in his Twitter I had to say to him, "Hello. I am trying to fool around with you, sir."

Needless to say, when your eyes are glued to a screen, you're not picking up on another person's social cues. Bradbury says that if you're scrolling first thing in the morning and right before bed, it especially affects your level of "pillow talk," the time before bed when you connect with your partner both emotionally and physically.


Stocksy
All of this begs the question of why we do this to ourselves. Israel says phubbing is directly linked to our lack of self-esteem and insecurity. We check our phones to avoid any unwanted discomfort or interaction with our romantic partner. This, of course, just perpetuates conflict, leaving us in a cycle of mounting discomfort and resentment towards each other.

Then there's the fact that it's second-nature for us to miss our phones since we're constantly exposed to technology. "We use our phones to escape awkward situations and the rest of the world. We forget that our partners are more important, and instinctively reach for our phones," Bradbury says.

Just like going to the gym, eating healthy, and meditating, resisting the urge to scroll through your notifications at any given moment takes conscious effort.

Israel tells us that it's really a matter of priorities. "When you are with another human being and are multi-tasking—answering your phone, checking your texts and emails, etc. you are subconsciously signaling to them that they are not your primary concern," he says.

"If you're meeting with someone who's important to you, take your phone out, look the other person in the eye and say, 'I'm shutting my phone OFF.' Then put the phone somewhere out of eyesight. Hopefully your partner will do the same."

Dropping your phone also makes sense on a personal level—it eliminates distractions, makes you a more thoughtful person, and helps you work towards those millennial self-care goals. Says Bradbury, "Your connection in real life is more important than anything online. Remember that being on your phone makes your partner feel rejected, and be aware of your partner's needs in the moment."

And, hey—it's not like your Twitter is going anywhere.

How to Get Over a Breakup Without Falling into a Dark Pit of Despair

Breakups feel like a sudden death. One moment you go from being blissfully happy, to losing both a partner and a friend—seemingly in the blink of an eye. How do you avoid becoming cynical after you've finally opened your heart up to love, only to have it blow up in your face? Here are five (admittedly hard AF) steps to help you move on.


Give yourself permission to grieve.
Cry as much and as often as you feel you need to. Scream into a pillow. Wallow in your sadness if you need to. We put far too much pressure on ourselves to be okay right after a breakup. This may feel like the conventionally strong thing to do, but you may be setting yourself back.

Kristie Overstreet, PhD, psychotherapist and clinical sexologist, tells MarieClaire.com that in order to heal, we need to treat ourselves with kindness. “Be gentle with yourself by giving yourself permission to be in the space of grief and sadness. Don’t waste your emotional energy by telling yourself that you shouldn’t feel this way or that you should just get over it.”

Instead of hurrying off to party or hooking up with the next person you see, take some time for self-love and self-care, as cliche as that may sound. Regain your sense of self—or better, become the best version of yourself—by finding what gives you joy and pursuing those things. “[This experience] is valid, real, and horrible at this time in your life, but you know that it will pass,” Overstreet adds.

Accept that people change and that’s okay.
When you’re going through a terrible breakup it’s easier to be angry than it is to see the bigger picture. We hide in our feelings of rage instead of accepting that people grow and change. It’s frustrating to find that someone you love has not evolved in the same ways you have, but the first step in moving on from a breakup is accepting that we have only a modicum of control over the future.

“It's important to understand that even healthy relationships can end," says Nikki Goldstein, MD, sexologist and relationships expert. "We are not all meant to be with each other and it might just come down to different interests in life and not enough of a connection.”

Honor what you had.
If it was a healthy relationship, appreciate it for what it was. “Often people want to try and put a person down or say the relationship was rubbish to justify the ending,” says Goldstein. Choose to focus on the positive lessons you glean from heartbreak instead of dwelling on the terrible parts. A breakup will show you how resilient you are and remind you that you can truly survive anything.


Honoring what you had also means not disrespecting the other person intentionally. You might need to create distance between yourself and your ex (for good reason), but going the extra step during a breakup means not going out of your way to hurt their feelings after part ways. After all, the best revenge is to just go on living your fabulous, successful life.

Write yourself a letter.
Don’t hesitate to write down everything you are feeling during this time. Will you cry through the whole thing? Probably. But it will be a cathartic experience to put it down on paper and let it go.

Overstreet suggests that you also write yourself a note to remind yourself of your blessings, how amazing you are (seriously, truly, don't forget it), and every good thing you have in store. “Writing this letter to self will help you process what you are currently experiencing and give the opportunity to identify positives in the future,” she says.

Remember that you are a badass queen.
Forgive yourself. There is no shame in a breakup, even if you weren't the one doing the breaking up. When you’re trying to be an empowered woman, rejection is the one thing that can knock you down off your pedestal. It’s a kick in the stomach, but don't let it break you. Surround yourself with the people who love you instead of giving in to the urge to self-isolate.

We’re conditioned to believe that we are only truly worthy if we have a romantic partner. And it’s bull****. You are a magical, fantastic, incredible person all by yourself. A relationship worthy of you, goddess, will be one you don’t have to question or worry about.
