Be patient with yourself, self-growth is tender, it’s holy ground, and there is no greater investment.

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, but to live gratitude is to touch heaven.

There is always someone somewhere who would love to trade places with you; be grateful for what you have.

Choose to be kind over being right and you’ll be right every time.

God always has a better way. The Lord creates……

Good morning and blessed Tuesday..

Life follows cycles like the weather, know what season of life you are in and honour it.

Fight for the things you love, live your life with no regrets, think of yourself as an explorer, you cannot find anything new if you are unwilling to leave the shore.

Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time you’ve got.Who is untrue to his own cause cannot command the respect of others.

The Lord said “Fight the good fight of faith” Nothing can stop you but you if you believe!

Good morning and a blessed Monday…

On this first Sunday in February 2025. Appreciate what you have today, for it was once your dream. And appreciate what you’ll have tomorrow, for it’s today’s dream.

When you start your day with gratitude everything falls into place with grace and ease as every next level of your life will demand a different you.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all happiness and growth occur while you’re climbing it.

You don’t get strong by standing at the finish line, you get strong with every step you take to get there.

Impossibility is just an option. Be focused. The Lord recreates!

Good morning and a blessed Sunday

We simply cannot do our best when we have nothing holding us up but ourselves.

If we enter into life with the feeling that we are alone, that everything depends upon us, we are among most men miserable and are bound to choke in the arena of life, we are never alone.

There is a higher God up there and he is always watching over us. It is this knowledge that liberates a man, that allows his spirit to soar in rounds of ever-increasing activity and consciousness.

They who stand alone shiver in the corners of life, But those who kneel before the Lord will always stand before men.

The Lord said by strength shall no man prevail. You Shall Succeed!!.

Good morning. Happy New Month!!!

If you’re going to reach your destiny, you have to learn to kiss somethings goodbye.You’re not going to understand everything that happens.

People may walk away. Life may not turn out the way you had planned. It’s tempting to get bitter, to hold a grudge, get frustrated, to lose your passion. Kiss the bitterness goodbye.

A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner. God has something new and better in stock for you.

Keep your dreams alive, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That’s why dreamers are lonely. The Lord is a righteous Judge…

GoodMorning. Thank God is Friday.

Be positive because the truth you create within you will bring you what you want.

Being positive is like going up a mountain, and being negative is like sliding down a hill.

A lot of times, people want to take the easy way because it’s basically what they’ve understood throughout their lives, realignment is required now with positivity.

Make an intention to see the best in every situation and you will begin to see there are no coincidences in life.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced, look inward, the answer is already there.

Write down your thoughts first, so that you can live the day with a clear mind. He who hesitates is last.

The Lord directs…….Good morning and a blessed Thursday..

Develop a strong opinion about yourself so that, you don’t accidentally start believing what others say about you.

Be sure the work you spend your time on is the work taking you in the direction towards your goals.

No matter how badly people treat you, never drop down to their level. Just know you’re better and walk away.

Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity. Never doubt actions and patterns.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think.

Also, remember that you have the power to change your life if you don’t like the direction it’s heading, you always do.

The Lord inspires. Good morning and a blessed Wednesday..

  The National President of Nigeria Institute of Public Relations (NiPR), Dr. Ike Neliaku fnipr, has rated high the level of progress made on the Plateau, describing the chapter as historically one of the best in the country.

   He has also appreciated the warm reception given to him and his team by the NiPR elder statesman, Sir Joseph Ari, and Plateau State Government on their arrival for the Governor’s Investiture as  Patron of the chapter.

   The President stated this yesterday, while in an interview with Journalists shortly after a reception dinner organised for him and Council Members by the former Director General, Industrial Trust Fund (ITF), Sir Joseph Ari fnipr, who is NiPR Icon in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

     He said, “NIPR in Plateau State is a work of progress. The Plateau State chapter has been quite historical. It’s not new. They’ve been here for a very good number of years and the work is still going on. 

    “We would want it to advance more rapidly than what it is now. But they are doing their best. They are trying. There can be more. And I believe that they are poised to doing more. 

    “And after the programme, I know that they will be more inspired and energized to do more. I feel good. The elder who hosted us is somebody who is highly respected at the institute”,  Neliaku appreciated.

    He, described Sir Joseph Ari as a former Governing Council member of the institute who has worked very hard for the institute and that, he was still working hard for the institute. 

   “He’s done very well and we are very delighted that he found time to welcome us into his family home and to give us this level of welcome”.

   The President, however, disclosed that, they would used the opportunity of this visit to look at the developmental strides of the Plateau State Governor, to see what he has done, what he was doing and what he intends to do for the people of Plateau State. 

    On his part, the Plateau State Commissioner for Information and Community, Hon. Musa Ibrahim Ashoms, said, as a government, they were elated to have these creams of personalities from 17 States of Nigeria coming into the state.

   He described the delegation of the NiPR as opinion molders, people who could shape the public perception of Nigeria and Nigerians saying, “it is a testament to the fact that we are living peacefully with our neighbors, that we are also living peacefully with ourselves. 

    “You can see that they’ve come to do an investiture on His Excellency the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, by tomorrow at 11 o’clock. He will become the Patron of NIPR Plateau State Chapter. 

    “So, here we have people that have spoken for the military, people that have spoken for different ministries, departments and agencies in Nigeria. 

     “And of course, basically, it is a sign that something is working. It is a good sign that His Excellency Barrister Caleb Manasseh Muftwang is leading Plateau to glory and they’ve come to share in that”, Ashoms reiterated.

      Earlier, the Governing Council Member of the NiPR representing Plateau State, Professor Sarah Benjamin-Lohas, commended Sir Ari, for hosting the President and his Council Members, describing him as an Icon of the NiPR in Nigeria saying, “I say so with a lot of pride, which indeed is Sir joseph Ari, FNIPR.

   “He has been a mentor, he has been a passionate advocate of public relations and he is a fellow of the institute and also a one-time governing council member representing Plateau state.

   “So, he thought that we should all come together at his residence here this evening and just ease out from all the activities that we had to engage Mr President and the Vice President and governing council members”, she appreciated.

      Meanwhile, the host, who is the immediate past Director General of the Industrial Trust Fund (ITF) and former Governing Council Member representing Plateau State, Sir Joseph Ntung Ari, fnipr, said having the number one public relations practitioner in Nigeria in Plateau State was a welcomed development for them. 

      “So what we are doing is to showcase the Plateau State chapter and to show the world and Nigeria that the Plateau State Chapter has come of age. 

     “And so, this is just part of our efforts as a chapter, you know, to demonstrate our hospitality and our generosity as a people. And so, that is all it is, that we showcase what Plateau is and who we are.

      “He is here with the Vice President, with Council Members, and so we have come out in our numbers to receive them and to let them know that the chapter is very strong here and the practice of public relations itself is on the high”, he emphasized.

    Ari, however, alluded to the fact that the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations has made some of them to grow to be who they were in the attainment of goals achieved stressing that, “we must always identify with the institute that has shaped us, that has made us who we are today”.

    There were good will messages from the respected nipr personalities as they unanimously approved the enrollment of Mrs Victoria Joseph Ari, wife of the reception host into the Nipr membership amidst cheers and display by the Plateau State cultural troupes.

All of us, at some point in life, get brilliant ideas, but only a few of us have the courage to take the next step.

The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself.

Make your life a garden where you plant seeds of possibility and water them with gratitude. You are going to be alright, the problem of today can be worked through.

True strength is not in how you handle victories, but in how you rise from failures and setbacks.

Take time to breathe to calm down. Be very hopeful! The Lord comforts…

GoodMorning and a blessed Tuesday…
