Cultivate the habit of randomly hugging your children, giving them a peck, and telling them "I love you" without needing a specific reason. On average, I hug and peck my kids at least 10 times daily. Furthermore, unless I am out of town, they hear "I love you" from me every day before bedtime.
These therapeutic actions facilitate bonding and create emotional synergy between you and your children. I have done this repeatedly since the day their father and I brought them home from the hospital.
Now, my kids randomly walk up to my workspace to hug and peck me for no reason. Just tonight, while I was preparing dinner for my first daughter, she randomly approached me for a hug and asked to peck me.
I smiled, realizing that what they watch you do repeatedly is exactly what they will duplicate when they begin to raise their own kids. Stop being stingy with affection or acting "macho" toward your children. One day, they will all be grown, and you will wish you had established that bond with them. It is either you parent the right way now, or wish you had later.
Imperfection is a burden we bear throughout our lives. No matter how intently you strive to do things correctly, errors are inevitable; if you do not falter today, you likely will tomorrow. It seems the world is designed in such a way that nothing within it remains truly flawless.
Therefore, do not wait for your business plan to be perfect before you execute it. Stop expecting your partner to be flawless before you put effort into making your marriage or relationship fulfilling. Do not wait for your children to achieve perfection before you feel they are worthy of your guidance, and stop expecting your boss to be perfect before you decide to give your best effort.
We are destined to live with imperfect people in an imperfect world—raising imperfect children—for the rest of our days. "Perfection" simply does not exist in the human experience. However, once you embrace this reality, you will begin to extend grace to those around you, and just as importantly, to yourself.
Here are the authoritative official channels to verify which stocks face potential delisting on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX).
**1. NGX Official Website – Corporate Disclosure Page**
This section provides critical updates including regulatory announcements, trading suspensions, delisting notices, and compliance matters. It also details enforcement actions and information regarding schemes of arrangement (for example, companies facing notices of suspension or delisting).
**Link:** https://t.co/bUIfkZq8Yo
**2. NGX Delisted Companies List**
To view companies that have already been removed from the exchange, consult this specific page. It displays the date the stock was delisted and the rationale behind the action (whether Regulatory or Voluntary).
*Note:* This resource tracks only completed delistings and does not display pending cases.
This page features the Release Calendar, which includes scheduled market announcements from the NGX. It also frequently lists company notifications regarding compliance issues, trading suspensions, and other regulatory developments that often lead to delisting.
**4. SEC Nigeria Announcements**
The Securities and Exchange Commission often publishes corporate actions filed by listed companies. These include schemes of arrangement, takeovers, and notices regarding the discontinuation of listing compliance.
For early indicators, it is advisable to monitor the SEC Nigeria website under the "Corporate actions/Announcements" section.
**5. NGX Daily Official List**
Located within the NGX "Market data" section (typically available as a PDF), the daily official list displays all securities currently available for trading. If a stock is marked as suspended or disappears from this list entirely, it is a strong indication that delisting is around the corner.
Just as crypto exchanges remove specific tokens or coins, stocks are also subject to being delisted.
It is your responsibility to verify whether a stock has been placed on the NGX delisting watch list. Typically, the warning signs become apparent 6 months or 1 year before the actual delisting occurs.
A company’s stock risks being delisted under the following conditions:
* It fails to publish its audited accounts. * It repeatedly misses annual or quarterly filings. * The share price remains excessively low for an extended period with no indication of recovery. * Liabilities exceed assets. * The company becomes technically insolvent. * There is no functioning board in place. * There are unresolved fraud cases or regulatory sanctions. * There is a breach of free-float requirements. * The company ignores NGX directives or fails to hold AGMs.
The financial market is not a space to enter without adequate knowledge. If you neglect the basics, you will pay for it with cold cash.
To the "Our Oil" gang and those concerned that America is going to steal oil: please come and listen closely. This approach is far better than the discount sales Maduro was previously involved in. For the first time, the money will actually reach the people of Venezuela. We must prioritize humanity over sentiment.
Stop trying to get liked. Stop trying to get validated.
I tell people I am not a nice person, and I say it consciously. I don’t ever try to be liked.
In fact, if you are very close to me and say, “Adaora is a nice person,” I will interrupt you and say, “I am not.”
When you try to be liked, you try to become nice. You compromise principles and slip up when you shouldn’t. You say “Yes” when you should say “No,” and you say “No” when you should say “Yes.”
Try to be respected—that is all.
And if people choose to disrespect you, weed them out of your space; it simply means they are not in your “tribe.”

Significant drama is unfolding in Rivers State as Wike challenges the stance of President Tinubu and the APC National leadership. He has reportedly instructed Rivers State lawmakers to impeach the sitting Governor Fubara.
May the Lord confound their language so that they are unable to understand one another.
To our stakeholders in the oil sector, the situation is developing and ready for your attention. Come and witness the defense of these shameless individuals.
Imagine you have a 16-year-old daughter who has just given birth out of wedlock. At that age, it is clear that her education may face setbacks. Now, suppose she says to you: “I’ve closed the chapter on school. I want to be fully available to raise my child.”
What would you advise? Would you encourage her to return to school and continue building her future, or would you affirm her decision to put her entire life on pause in the name of parenting?
This reflection isn’t really about a teenager; it is about us. One of the greatest legacies a parent can leave a child is this principle: “Never abandon yourself while raising another human.”
Do not sacrifice your education, healing, ambition, identity, or growth for parenting. Furthermore, do not sacrifice your emotional and mental health. You are the foundation of your child’s world, and when the foundation cracks, the structure eventually feels the instability.
Years from now, your child will not wish you disappeared into sacrifice. They will wish you chose growth. They will wish you took that risk. They will wish you left what was abusive, limiting, or loveless, and that you invested in becoming whole.
If you truly love your child, give yourself permission to shine. Your dreams are valid, and it is not too late. Pursue your education, build your career, and explore your gifts and passions.
It is only Day 8, yet some people are already tired. They may have already purchased a training course or started free training somewhere, but by Day 8, the fatigue has set in.
You see, the reality regarding your brain is that once you teach it how to perform, that behavior trickles into everything else. Once you teach it to quit easily, it masters the act and helps you amplify that tendency over time.
Quitting is, in essence, a learned behavior.
If you trained your mind to be lazy in 2025 and to give up once things became hard or complicated, this is your chance to retrain it.
Go back and continue what you started.
Engage less on X, Instagram, and Facebook, especially if your life is still "low resolution." Save time by turning off distractions the moment you recognize them.
If Putin were to try to put his hands on Americans or start a drug cartel in America, then we would revisit the conversation. We would see if World War 3 starts earlier than anticipated.
Is Trump a madman to just go after someone who knows where to draw the line? Why didn’t he enter Nigeria to bomb Port Harcourt or Lagos, since he just likes to show power?
Rather than scalping 10 trades a day, focus on waiting for those high-conviction trades that fit the same pattern and trade with confidence—even if it is just once a day.
If that setup doesn’t come, trading once a week is perfectly acceptable.
Isn’t that better than hitting more SLs?
