• Dogs are social creatures that communicate effectively through their body language. Through their posture, tail, ears, eyes, and mouth, dogs can convey a wide range of emotions and intentions. In this article, we'll examine dog body language and what it can mean.

    Posture
    A dog's posture can reflect its emotional state and intentions.
    - Relaxed posture: A dog that feels calm and comfortable will adopt a relaxed posture, with its head and tail in a neutral position.
    - Alert posture: A dog that is alert will stand more upright, with its head and tail raised.
    - Defensive posture: A dog that feels threatened will adopt a more rigid posture, with its head and tail down.

    Tail
    A dog's tail is a key indicator of its emotional state.
    - High tail: A high tail usually indicates confidence and happiness.
    - Low tail: A low tail can signal submission.
    - Wagging tail: A tail that moves from side to side can express excitement or enthusiasm.

    Ears
    A dog's ears also reveal its emotional state:
    - Ears forward: Indicates attention and interest.
    - Ears back: May signal fear.
    - Droopy ears: Suggest sadness.

    Eyes
    A dog's eyes are a reflection of its emotional state and intentions.
    - Bright eyes: Indicate happiness and enthusiasm.
    - Dull eyes: May signal sadness.
    - Fixed eyes: Indicate attention and interest.

  • AWFUL!!!! When family members arrived at the clinic to recover the bø"dy, the hospital surprisingly gave them money to quickly leave with the bø"dy - as if as if they wanted to get rid of evidence. Normally, hospitals demand payment before releasing a bø'dy, but this clinic paid us to take Melissa's body away!

    Family members, still in shock, carried the bø'dy to the morgue, thanking the clinic for their "generosity" (the money they gave us). It wasn't until we arrived at the morgue late that night that we discovered the full extent of the horror. The bø-dy was open, & we saw that all vìtal org-ns were missing. There wasn't even a drop of blœd left inside. We tried everything to investigate, but it was impossible to uncover the truth behind Melissa's dth. In the end, my little niece paid the ultimate price for the 8 months of luxury Cyrille provided her. We **** her to rest, still shocked & baffled by the events till this day.

    This is a truelife story of what happened to my niece. Ladies, please beware of strangers & fake lovers. Let's be cautious & do our research properly to protect ourselves from such horrific situations. Well, I wanted to share My niece, Melissa's story with you. Here's a picture of my niece with Cyrille - maybe some of you have also been victims of his dê,,c''"it. Pls, beaware, everything that glitters isn't gold.

  • A man took some loan, bought a house, it was about to be seized, just because he could not repay the loan and interest as agreed.

    He posted his situation on Facebook looking for help, but all he could get was zero comments.

    So he sent 250 messages to his contact list requesting a loan of #2,000,000.

    Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help him. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help and gave him some money.

    The other 3 gave excuse and never took his calls.

    In the end, he was ejected.
    He did not have a place to sleep. He walked in the dark looking for options and unfortunately, A thief stole his empty purse with his ID.

    The thief was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fled and died without his body being identified.

    Only the bag containing the identity card served as a marker.

    The next day the news spread quickly around that he (the Man) had died.

    2,500 people posted on his Facebook wall how they knew him and how kind he was.

    A committee was formed by his"faithful" friends who raised #7,500.000 to feed people at his funeral.

    His work colleagues organized themselves and brought #11.5m for the coffin, the tents and the chairs.

    He had to be buried in a coffin worth #3,500.000 but as they hastily bouht it there was a man who sold it to them for #2.000,000 saying it was his contribution.

    The family met again, it was a rare opportunity for the family to meet again.

    Then there was a sitting. For the funeral, the family contributed #4,000,000.

    Everyone wanted to volunteer to show that they were participating.

    They printed t-shirts and polos for more than #850,000.

    Now imagine the scene when he decided to show himself up on the day of his burial...

    While everyone run helter skelter thinking they'd seen a ghost, the man felt embittered, seeing how both family and friends that abandoned him at his darkest hours, extravagantly spent all they had, on mere carcass...

    So is life today, A sad reality but part of our daily lives.

    It will surprise you to learn that bulk of all those who talk about how much they love the deceased on burial days, are those who never showed him care and love, when he was alive.

    Yet, they'll talk from Lagos to abuja, how much they loved him.

    When a family member is in dire financial need, nobody will help...but the moment he's dead, money will come from all hidings...

    Help your brother/sister when he/she needs you.

    Do not wait for their death to show them your love. It will not help them.

  • FROM ANOTHER PLATFORM

    By Obi Nwakanma

    And I hear you, bro. But think about it: from 1970- 1979, the generation of the Igbo who had fought and funded the war, were not talking of marginalization. They took on the task of restoration. I remember the story the late Mbazulike Amaechi told me when I once visited him in Ukpor. At the end of the war, the Igbo business elite who had been in PH, and whose property had been forcibly acquired by the new government in Rivers state went to Asika to intervene. Asika sat with them and urged them to seek the intervention of the courts and make this a seminal case on the defense of Igbo property rights in Nigeria. He did not want to seem to put undue pressure in a very sensitive time on the government of Rivers state. The Igbo were being harassed and stopped from work and resuming their life in PH. Asika encouraged them to seek the legal benefits of Awolowo who was the most powerful politician in government at the time. These Igbo businessmen met Awo, in Lagos, and after he heard them, Awo demanded that they go and pay 1 million pounds into his Chambers account, before he would could take on their plea. The Igbo business men asked Awo where he thought they could get one million pounds, having just come out of a devastating war. He said it was their business and dismissed them. The men later met in ZC Obi’s home, and after rounds and rounds of discussions, they agreed at ZC Obi’s urging, that they would no longer pursue the matter. ZC Obi said, “ let us ge back to work. Let us send our young men back to work. We shall build Aba until it gets into Port Harcourt, and no one will know the difference.” And that was precisely what they set out to do, and were about accomplishing that feat up till 1987. By 1979, the Igbo were powerful enough to ge a serious factor in Nigerian politics. Between 1979-83, the Igbo were not talking about marginalization. They were engaged in restoration . Mbakwe had asked Ihechukwu Madubuike as minister for education, to place as priority the establishment of another federal university in Igbo land. Thus FUTO in 1980. Between he and Jim Nwobodo, they launched an industrial policy that quickly turned the East once more into an active economic belt. They did not wait for the federal government. Imo state University and Anambra state university of Technology were the first state universities to be established under the state laws. I was reading the Imo State University Act that established the charter of the old Imo state university the other day, and I am still utterly impressed by the quality and precision of thought that went into organizing that university under the inimitable MJC Echeruo, one of Igbo lands sharpest minds of the 20th century. The same goes for ASUTHEC. Nwobodo went specifically to Harvard to make Prof Kenneth **** to return to Enugu and establish ASUTHEC. Now, compare that Igbo, to this generation of the Akalogoli. Mbakwe took Shagari specifically to Ndiegoro, in Aba, wept publicly with dramatic impact , and forced Shagari to promise to establish the ecological fund to deal with places like Ndiegoro in Igbo land. He compelled Shagari to understand that Gas and Petroleum were abundant natural resources from Imo state, and that Imo deserved and must be given new shares/ consideration , if the federal did not want Imo to sue, and even begin to raise questions about the federal government’s s seizure of Eastern Nigerias oil and gas investments, like the PH refinery for which no compensation has even to this day, been paid. Mbakwe pushed the oil issue and said to Shagari that the proposed Petrochemical Plant must be located in Imo, otherwise he would begin to build the Imo Petrochemical Industries himself . The grounds had been cleared by October 1983, and work started at the Imo Petrochemical Plant at Izombe by the time the military struck on Dec. 31, 1983. It was Buhari who later relocated that plant to Eleme. Mbakwe began the first Independent Power company with the Amaraku power station under Alex Emeziem at the Ministry of Utilities. The father of my high school buddy at the Government College Umuahia was the project manager who designed and installed the power station at Amaraku and had begun work at the Izombe Gas power station; all with engineers and technicians from the Imo state ministries of work and public utilities. They did not go to China to sign a contract. They just went to South Korea to procure the parts they designed and which they installed themselves! By 1981/2 most towns in Imo state had electricity under the Imo state Rural Electrification project. Same with the Five Zonal water project under the Mbakwe program. The project manager was Engineer Ebiringa. They did not go to China or America or wait for the federal government. 85% of the Imo Water project had been completed by the time the soldiers struck. There are still giant iron pipes buried underground in almost all the towns in the old Imo state under that project which was designed to give Imo the first constant, clean water of any state of Nigeria. Only a phase of the Owerri water project was completed by the time Mbakwe was kicked out of office, but even so, Owerri had the cleanest, most regular water of any city in Nigeria. Imo organized her public schools. Imo organized a first class public health system. My own father was commissioned under the Health Management board as the government’s Chief Health Statician, to conduct the first broad epidemiological survey of Imo state in 1982. I saw him at work. They were serious and professional men, who took their duties very seriously because they were highly trained. The Imo state civil service was possibly the finest civil service in West Africa; finer than the federal service, because they had a
    highly selected and well trained pool of civil servants who delivered value to the people. They were not talking about marginalization. You may say what you like today about Jim Nwobodo, but he started the independent satellite newspaper In Enugu, which balanced the story coming out of Lagos. No one was talking about marginalization until Chuba Okadigbo, rightly used that word to decribe the way the federal military government of Nigeria was treating the Igbo, in terms of access to real power. There were not enough Igbo officers represented in the organograms of the military governments, and yes, that word was apt, in that ****** . But we have taken it too far, and turned it into an excuse for our intellectual and political indolence. The Igbo have waited for their comeuppance on Nigeria, but **** ain’t happening. Nigeria is moving on without us, for better or worse. We must now recalibrate and engage. Let us use the final gas in our tanks, all of us now, between 55-75 years, to complete the work of restoration which the last generation began but which we have abandoned because we dropped the ball. We may weep all we want and complain that Nigeria is unfair, but the universe is indifferent. I dare say, Nigeria actually has no capacity to marginalize the Igbo. We better stop marginalizing ourselves or risk our children and their children inheriting the slave’s mentality!! That’s the danger we court with this story of Igbo marginality, which is actually self imposed, and self indulgent!

    I pray we rise again!!!!
    Happy New Month to us all!!!
