Short write-ups by my friend,Kyrian

Do you think he broke your heart?Do you think she broke your heart? You've given so much for love but didn't work out? And you're so sure your lack of knowledge, discipline or bad attitude didn't lead them out of your life?Then I've got a word for U: If God can remove someone you never dreamed of losing, He can replace them with someone you never dreamed of having. God has something better than what you had. A WORD FOR YOU:•Never get so busy making a living, that you forget to enjoy the person God has placed in your life.


Every relationship is to be enjoyed and not endured. Love becomes breakable when you are not capable of enduring pains in a bad relationship. A relationship is not designed to make a partner weep with regret. Every relationship should be sacred and be a pavitra rishta which is a sacred relationship. and a sacred relationship is that whose foundation is built on trust.every persons positive side in a relationship is always sweet but the negative side of a person is always the bane of entanglements in every relationship.if you weigh the persons negative side and you see you can't cope with it in the relationship.



Every failed attempt is a new lesson for a greater dream.keep going,you are a reason..! The greatest sweetener of human life is friendship,to raise it to the highest pitch of enjoyment is a secret which but few discover.In life we walk on separate roads,but we have one golden bridge-"LoVE" which links our lives together.The spirit of God goes where it pleases and pleases where it goes.may that same spirit guide your path to find true joy,happines and new found love in its most refined form.

Sometimes a break is needed, stay happy

In a space of one year, you may find yourself in about four/five relationships. There's always a reason to leave, some say, "she's just not the one, he was just a......, I couldn't bear, he was a cheat, her character was a write off, and bla bla bla.

Sometimes, I wonder how we never think for a second that we could be the problem. We often do not do a self-check, to find out where we are going wrong, what we are getting wrong. 

I'm probably a victim of this and so I had to ask myself some questions, 

What does it mean that I keep dating wrong people?

• Am I doing something wrong?
• Am I attracting the wrong people?
• Am I in a hurry to be in a relationship?
• Is there something about my character I need to work on?
• Do I need space?

There were just lots of questions that crossed my mind. I read a few articles and spoke to a few who gave me good words.

First step was: I decided to stop dating for a while.

Secondly, to be honest with myself

Thirdly, accept people for who they are

Fourthly, try not to blame people and always stay true to anyone I meet. 

If you have found yourself in this circle of running round circles, TAKE A BREAK, RUN A SELF CHECK, STAY HAPPY, ACCEPT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE. Real maturity comes in when you look inside to see what's really going on with you. Stay true and honest. 

Today is the world's international wedding day. Congratulations to all walking down the aisle, may God bless and sustain your new home. To the young ladies who probably will check their whatsapp and bbm updates, don't kill yourselves over the wedding dresses you see, the engagement ring, the fabulous hall and the pre wedding photo shoot. It's about staying married and not getting married. It will get to you.

LIVE HEALTHY by Gift Jonah

Another write up from my friend, if you missed her article last week, then do well to follow up every Tuesday and Thursday. You are sure to learn something new.

Hi guys... How has your week been?

An Arabian proverb says “He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything”.

Today I will like to share some tips on how to live healthy and stay fit. It works for me and I am positive it will work for you as well.

Reduce Stress: Avoid being involved in too many activities. Spend at least 30 minutes a day doing something that helps you relax. You can watch a funny movie or comedy, listen to soothing music, meditate, take a deep breath intermittently etc.

Move More: Find more ways to move your body. If your job keeps you in one position for too long, endeavour to take few minute break to walk around and stretch. Walk instead of taking a bike, chase your kids etc.

Eat for tomorrow; not for today: Cut your fat intake, drink an average of eight glasses of water per day. Control what you eat; don’t be controlled by what you eat. There’s no law against leaving leftovers in your plate.

Sleep some more: Give your body adequate rest. If you spend long hours in traffic, get someone to drive while you sleep.

Keep a positive outlook: Whatever happens, maintain a positive attitude. There’s a connection between healthy living and having a cheerful outlook. A cheerful disposition is good for your health. Choose to see the good side of everything that happens to you.

Laugh more: Laughing helps you feel better about the future. So as often as you can, pause, take a deep breathe and laugh.

Be busy or be productive?

This article was inspired by an acquaintance I ran into on my way for lunch. A student in the Final year session of her studies at a Polytechnic (don't ask for names, please).

She's back home for a 2-month holiday and she tells me, "I just came into town three days ago and I am already tired; am just home, don't have much to do and it's wearing me out. To think that I have two months to stay is literally killing me!" "I wish I can find something- anything- to keep me busy; get me out of the house in the morning, every morning" she laments.

Have you been in that situation or met anyone who complained like that?

Do you know many, many persons live like this? I mean, they are busy, very busy, but they never take a moment- maybe 15mins- to ask themselves: am I being productive? Am I actually making progress or  just burning time?

Someone has rightly said that every wasted time is a wasted opportunity.

"I look around me
  but All I seem to see
  Is people going nowhere
  Expecting sympathy..."
----Simple Plan: When Am Gone.

I don't want to define how you run your life, all I want is to provoke a question you alone can answer for yourself: Are you busy or you are being productive?

For any goal, remember the words of Jesus, "the kingdom of God is within you."

Good luck.

Thinking out loud by El Poiz©

I sat at a table last wednesday morning with a cup of tea, idly turning the liquid and viewing the scene around me.
You know, an ability each and everyone of us possess is the ability to put on a smile irrespective of the situation.
I once saw a quote which stated 'we all pretend to be happy' and I realized just how true that is.


Okay you might not prefer the word 'pretence'. Well, 'try' seems a better word then...'We all try to be happy'
Situations happen in life that test our resolve to keep calm and happy. We lose a loved one, help someone and what we get in return is hurt, we make mistakes that live with us and hunt us, we make efforts to be better people but see ourselves back tracking...sometimes it gets to that point where the world seems like its coming down on us, choking our very breath till all that's left is to give up.


One thing and only one thing matters the most...how you react to /handle these situations.
I see mothers, fathers, spinsters, bachelors even children strive to gain control over their pains; rising above them and maintaining happiness.


Hurt has no power over you, sorrows have no power over you, YOU have the control of yourself, YOU have the right to be happy, YOU should tell yourself nothing's greater than God's love for me, no pain's going to take away my joy, no struggle's going to take away my peace...don't let your past, your mistakes dictate your life; pick up their lessons and let these provide beautiful interlocking pathways for your future Give excuses for those who hurt you...learn to let things go.
You deserve to be happy.


I picked my phone off the table and headed out the cafeteria to begin my day.

HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! AIRPEACE LIMITED IS ONE

The occasion was the one year anniversary of AirPeace Limited and hundreds of dignitaries, employees, family, friends and business associates gathered in the warm weather to celebrate at the Sheraton Hotel Banquet Hall.

It was an evening of glitz, glamour, style and a galaxy of personalities in the corporate world as well as from the Aviation industry. Ebuka Obi Uchendu anchored the event. Among dignitaries that graced the occasion were Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Mr Timi Alaibe, MD FAAN, Prince Isa Bayero who represented the emir of kano palace, MD & ED of Fidelity bank, Former MD of shell, former DG of NCAA, NCAA Cabin inspector Madam Julie Obumselu, Chairman of century electronics Chief Ifeanyi Obiora, CEO’s of companies, other Captains of industries, Politicians and off course Airpeace’s ambassador Kçee who performed alongside Harrysong to thrill the guest and got us all dancing.

It was a perfect atmosphere to show case the uniqueness of the brand AIRPEACE LIMITED and also unveil our new Loyalty Program for our frequent fliers called ‘PEACE ADVANTAGE’.

    L-R; COO AIRPEACE LIMITED, MD FIDELITY BANK, WIFE OF THE CEO AIRPEACE LIMITED, CEO AIRPEACE LIMITED AND KCEE.

 
To employees, it was a joyous occasion and a time for merriment, wining and dining and above all a kind of re-union with staffs from out stations. It was also a great joy to see some well deserving colleagues receive award of recognition for their unrelenting efforts. The man of the night was Mr Ayodeji Adeyemi who received two awards for for Best Station Manger of the year and Best station of the year. Next to him was Mr Leonard Olisakwe who also received Best Station Manger of the year. Other categories were Best cabin crew of the year, Cabin crew personality of the year,

Most creative cabin crew of the year, Most passenger friendly pilot of the year, Highest flown pilot of the year, Exceptional leadership of the year and Best office assistance of the year. Awards were also given to our top 3 travel partners.




It’s been one year of safety, great success and exceptional service with class and I’m privileged to be part of its birth. It has been an amazing experience working with the entire management and staff of Airpeace.



For those of you who haven’t heard of Airpeace (which I doubt ). Airpeace Limited is a privately owned airline operating within the Nigerian Aviation Industry. Airpeace Limited operates scheduled commercial flights out of the General Aviation Terminal (GAT). Currently we fly to Abuja, Owerri, Enugu, Lagos, Calabar, Kebbi and Port Harcourt with more routes commencing soon within Nigeria and West African Countries. Not to worry, I will update you with relevant info before commencement.

On my subsequent aviation article, I will introduce you to the Chairman/CEO of the reputable Airline. A man who despite his status has great integrity and humility. Today is not that day I want to talk about my chairman Barr Allen Onyema. He deserves his own article.

AIR PEACE: your peace, our goal

NAT 102

Hi all. Hope we had a great weekend and a lot of rest. Well, lectures continue in earnest :)

Big Chop
Being the easiest way of going natural, one hardly encounters issues with this method. Every treatment done is in direct contact with the natural hair-since chemical-treated ends have been cut off- hence, ensuring a 'well-fed' hair.
After the bigchop, styling of the hair is quite limited as you'd most often rock a TWA(Teeny Weeny Afro). A TWA anyway can be rocked in a 'wash 'n' go'. A Wash 'n' Go simply means washing the hair and applying a natural styling gel(eco-styler gel, jack5, spiralicious are some natural gels which can be used). After applying the product of your choice, massage it gently into your hair using your fingers and you're good to go (don't comb)

HAIR REGIMEN:
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A GOOD HAIR REGIMEN
1)Hair type
2)Hair texture
3)Hair elasticity
4)Hair porosity
In as much as we want a long healthy mane, we should 'keep it simple'. Don't go overloading your hair and thinking 'the more treatments, the better'...just pick a regimen and stick to it.
MOISTURIZING
Every regimen must include moisturizing the hair. Moisturizing can be done in more than one way; spritz the hair or deep condition; both can be done although not at the same time.

So next week, we learn more on deep conditioning and take a look at some DC recipes. Until then, have a wonderful Hairweek

Monday Boost....TGIM (thank God it's Monday)

The best things in life come through perseverance. Don't sit on the runway and hope someone will come push the airplane. It can't happen. CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE. Have a positive mindset and see things work out, see good results.

Have a blessed week. Go out with confidence and fear nothing. God bless you big.

Change the playlist this week.

Hi guys, so I just reshuffled my playlist for the week. And I thought to share my first 10 on the list. The very first was introduced to me by a strong woman who I will be celebrating this week. 

10). Haven't met you yet - Michael Buble 

 9). Certain Things - James Arthur

8). More than words - Westlife

7). Wait for me - Sunny Ade ft Onyeka Onwenu

6). Sondela - Ringo Madlingozi 

5). I want to know what love is - Lucky Dube

4). Good enough - Bobby Brown

3). Baby girl - Nel Oliver

2). Paperweight - Joshua Radin ft Schuyler Fisk

1). Don't keep heaven busy - Johnnyswim 

 Feel free to share yours but please take time to get my playlist and listen. You will thank me later. 

CRY IT OUT.....

Sometimes it's best to cry it out, cry till you're satisfied. When people insult you because of your present status (unemployed, of age but not yet married, broke,etc), it breaks you, it hurts you but be reminded that the God you serve hasn't abandoned you, be sure to know that He has better plans for you, be sure to know that these people are ignorant of God's promises towards you.

Sadly, some people do not understand that as much as things are going easy for them, going smooth for them, it doesn't make them God's favourite, it doesn't make them God's chosen or the apple of God's eye. Until most people walk down that rough road, until they pass through that tunnel that dark tunnel before the light at the end, they'd never appreciate God's mercies. 

I would someday share a personal story, I just need to be convinced within myself to do so and i'll definitely write in.

Happy Sunday Lovelies....Cocktail Sunday #lol

Happy Sunday people. Hope you went to church o. Mass today was totally uplifting and yes I had a chat with a few friends after mass, fun time!!! 

So I got back home and thought of experimenting, been day dreaming of having a cup of cocktail made by me, myself and I. I already had a tutorial on it with my sister but you know how laziness can always want to mess with you sometimes yea? Aha....oh well, I sent for; 

• Cucumber, 
• Oranges
• Lemon
• A can of fanta
• A can of sprite
• Grenadine syrup which doesn't cost much
• Agostura bitters jut to have a lil alcohol.

My sister and I cut the cucumber in a round shape and some in tiny pieces, I got a clean jug,poured in half of the grenadine syrup since I was making for the whole family, poured in the fanta and sprite, squeezed in the oranges (2 of them), squeezed the lemon (just 1) then a little quantity of agostura bitters, poured in the cucumber (the small pieces) , then mixed all, had to taste to know if it was too sweet, now it depends on how you want it, I had to add little water, but it was still really great. Oh, I also had to pour some of the fanta into the ice tray, instead of water, for those who would need ice,so fanta still retains the sweetness even when it dissolves inside. And our home made cocktail is made. That's a new thing I've done *laughs*. Don't worry I promise to improve.

You can also share something you learnt recently and let us learn together. 

Enjoy your Sunday people.....
