Please can you tell us a little about yourself and business?
My name is Deborah Joseph Barde, a graduate of English from Ibrahim badamasi babangida university lapai. Baking is one thing i find myself doing for fun, I started baking as a business On the 10 of October 2017. Now i basically render services of birthday cakes,wedding cakes drinks,small chops and all kind of cakes. i offer training from time to time online and also private training.
What inspires you as a Baker?
My inspiration comes from my surroundings centred around nature and mostly online i get alot of inspiration seeing other bakers online and telling myself i can do better than most amazing work i see.
How do you broadcast your work? I broadcast my work through my social media platforms, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and i give out my business card when am in the midst of people in event's, or places like the market and so on. Like I talk about my business anywhere I go...My business my pride.
As a well known baker online and around time what has been your challenges in delivering your services? I really don't have any challenges delivering because I'm mobile and
009
have a very good reliable delivery service.
Going through your content we have seen a lot of designs and also the parfait what brought up the ideas of them? Most times i look up trending things online mostly on YouTube so i got to know about parfait online and I tried it and my customers loved it.. and it was selling.
Discribe a situation where you have to go above and beyond your services?
I go extra length ordering things from Lagos, illorin, port Harcourt, Delta most of the time online vendors, despite the unreasonable delivery fees most time, just to make sure i give my customer's the best services... I order cake tools and most times even ingredients for baking because i don't get all the ingredients here in Minna that's how far i go to rend the best services to my lovely customer here in peachyy pastries.
How do you satisfy your clients with a design that suites them?
My customer's mostly trust me with coming up with my own design's for them and i don't joke with my customers so i go extra mile just to make sure i give them the best, sometimes we get complians but the compliance is a minimum of 1% that's how satisfied my customers get.
What's your opinion in the cake business?
My opinion on cake business i feel if u don't have a passion for baking as a baker u'll find it very dificult to last long in the business.. using me as example sometimes i start working from morning till sun down and trust me there are bad day's sometimes but because it's what i love doing the bad day's don’t really get to me, so I’ll say just make sure u have passion for baking before u step into cake business.
Where did you picture yourself when you started your business and how long do you see yourself in the business?
I started i didn't picture myself going this far because baking was something I just did for fun but right now i think I'm in this business for a long while because i want my brand name to be known nation wide and if possible internationally.

THE TRANSFORMATION IN NIGERIA ECONOMY The Journey So Far.
I’m ThankGod Akpa,I’m a visionary with a strong passion for technology, media, and also relevant knowledge that leads to personal development.I strongly believe that I have a responsibility in an addition to what great mentors have done to inspire and guide my generation and that which is to come towards the path of greatness and purpose fulfilment.This article gives an overview of the struggles Nigeria has passed through in terms of economy and then a recommendation that should facilitate our progress.

Growing up as a child, I remember my mum always told me she wanted me to study law at the university. I loved the idea and I already started telling my friends in school that I wanted to become a lawyer. Although as I became more mature, I started discovering my true passion and I was amazed it was quite different from what mummy wanted for me. Of course, I had to pursue my passion. Discovering my passion and potentials was one of the craziest tasks I ever performed. It took me years and even up till now I keep discovering new passion and potentials. Well, it's no wasted years cos it’s the pursuit of those passions that makes the better person I am and of course, I’m striving to become the best I can be. That’s not even the main point of this article. After spending 5years already in the university and about beginning the 6th year journey which is my final year, I began to wonder how the outside world will be like. One of those days as I was meditating, it occurred to me that I needed to be financially free before I leave the university system. so I began to think on what to lay my hands on to do but I remember a senior friend once said “for you to earn you must learn” so I thought it wise to get books about money and then learn. Glory to God, the first book I laid my hands on was MONEY WILL NOT MAKE YOU RICH by Sunday Adelaja. I started reading that book and it transformed my life completely. The first thing I learnt
from that book was that money will not make you rich as the title goes. I understood the real definition of financial freedom then I was challenged but not condemned. It was amazing to know that it is not when you’ve gathered so much money that you become financially free. Money is the last thing that comes, in pursuit of financial freedom he stated. Going further into the book, Dr Sunday began to teach about the laws of money and the number one law he stated was, know your passion. Now this will lead me to the main point of this article. Many years ago, many Nigerians were more interested in farming because they were
sure the whites would buy their products and they will eventually make some money. Not so many persons were interested in going to school as farming was the major source of income as at then. Later on, some of our fathers who had a personal relationship with the white had their minds enlightened and they began to see the relevance of schooling. Those ones eventually became schooled and later became heads of many sectors during the colonial era. Because the white men preferred to put the people who thought like them to be in charge of some of those sectors. Seeing how education can make a slave become a master all of a sudden, some other Nigerians began to show interest in education. They wanted absolute freedom So education was the way out at that point. But then the hands of the clock changed In the late fifties, Nigerians became more interested in large scale business. Those who had their minds enlightened already via education started buying farm produce from peasant farmers and then selling to the white. Since they understood the language of the white which is English. Business was at this time the highest paying thing. Although 4years before Nigeria gained independence, oil was discovered in oloibiri in the Niger Delta after half a century of exploitation. The transformation again continued when Nigeria gained independence. At that point the focus became oil. By the late 1960s, oil had supplanted cocoa, peanuts, and palm items as the nation’s greatest foreign exchange earner. In all these, people were still pursuing an educational degree in the west and east while the northerners engaged in building business empires. One of such business mogul is non-other than Alico Dangote. So, it was an aggregation of Education, oil and Business. Agriculture began to fade from the list. Although it was quite difficult to become very successful in business and in the oil and gas sector except you had a very high starting capital. Subsequently, education became the way forward since they didn’t need so much money to be enrolled in a school. Missionary schools were still there and most of them were free.
014
Again tragedy sets in when multitude started chasing after some professional courses such as medicine, law, architecture, and engineering. And I wonder how that mentality crept in, maybe that’s because of every human desire a level of recognition. I mean it sounds sweet to say Dr, ARC, ENGR Ann Adamu. But the outcome of this tragedy was that the available jobs for these professionals were fewer than the professionals themselves. So, the concept of the labour market eventually came in. we began to have loads of people flaunting into the labour market year in year out. The transformation did not end there. Some intelligent folks later came out and started talking about learning a skill in addition to your university degree. Some Nigeria mothers will even say, “even if you no go school, just learn handwork”. So parents began to send their wards to learn tailoring, mechanic, vulcanizing and so on. It was also a good idea until those sectors also became saturated and if you move from one kilometre to the other you will see at least, a roadside mechanic. Why wouldn’t it be like that when in some mechanic workshops, you will see 10 apprentices. So people began to choose some other courses like theatre art, public admin since the other professional market became saturated and the so-called handworks were seemingly dignifying. Unfortunately, those other sectors also eventually became saturated. Nigerian students then came up with the slang “school na scam” because they felt like, how can I spend 18years of my life schooling only to go and join the multitude of people struggling for jobs in the labour market. From 2010, some human resource specialist came out again to say it is better to learn a digital skill since we are gradually moving into the information age. Where doctors are being replaced with nurses who have a little knowledge of computer operations. There are specialized machines now that you can easily feed with a patience symptom and they will prescribe drugs for patience. people then began to learn graphic design, web design, programming, social media, strategy, content marketing, email marketing, desktop publishing, networking, home automation and so on. This digital space is also getting saturated, everyone is now a
digital marketer. what then is the way out? First, let every man realise that life is beyond survival. Discover your passion, and pursue it. That’s the path of purpose fulfilment. And of course, when you fulfil your purpose, the money will certainly come. And While, you are still trying to find your passion or while your passion is yet to pay you, get a side hustle.

Friends, the only guarantee to success is to take action. Stop thinking too much. Yes, stop overthinking
and start planning. If there’s something you wanna do, go out and do it. Go out and get it done. Tom biliyeu once said one step in the wrong direction is better than just sitting and doing nothing. Face your fears. Do that thing you fear the most. The difference between successful people and failures is that successful people have the courage to face their fears. They do what they fear until the fear diminishes. Sometimes our fear limits us. If you don’t face your fears now and go after that which you want you might end up being a mediocre. You might end up living the life you don’t want to life.
Go out and give it a try. You are not too young or old to write a book You’re not too young or old to start your business You’re not too young or old to inspire others You’re not too young or old to Sing a song. Stop limiting yourself. Will people criticize, yes; but it doesn’t matter what they say.. All that matters is what you want. Stop that negative self-talk of I CANT. Personally I had a terrible fear for public speaking. I was a very shy person. Until one day I decided to
make a change. I decided to take the necessary actions and today that fear is gone. The fear would have still been there had it been I did not take action. Weather you believe you can or you cannot, you're correct. When you believe you can do it, then you will do it. The power is in the believing. The power is in your mind. God has made you special. He expects you to be bold and courageous. He expects to be original not an ersatz. He beliefs in you. He sees you as a success. It's not just about talents or intelligence. It's about the belief system. When you believe in yourself, you will look for a way, you will work hard and guess what HARDWORK BEATS TALENT IF TALENTS FAILS TO WORK HARD.

The Ijaws are a collection of people that are indigenous to the Niger Delta in Nigeria. And owing to the affinity they have with water, a good number of them are found as migrant fishermen in camps as far west as Sierra Leone and as far east as Gabon. With a population of over fourteen million, the Ijaws are unarguably the most populous tribe inhabiting the Niger Delta region and arguably the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Historically, it is almost impossible to give a precise account as to whence the Ijaws originated. Different accounts have been given by different historians. But what is certain is that the Ijaws are one the world’s most ancient people. The Ijaw language consists of two prominent groupings. The first, which is termed as either Western or Central Izon (Ijaw) consists of Western Ijaw speakers: Ekeremor, Sagbama (Mein), Bassan, Apoi, Arogbo, Boma (Bumo), Kabo (Kabuowei), Ogboin, Tarakiri, and Kolokuma-Opokuma (Yenagoa).[citation needed] Nembe, Brass, and Akassa (Akaha) dialects represent Southeast Ijo (Izon). Buseni and Okordia dialects are considered Inland Ijo. On the other hand, the second major Ijaw linguistic group is Kalabari. Although the term Eastern Ijaw is not the right term, that is what Kalabari is considered as. Unlike most tribes, the Ijaws have two forms of marriage. The first which is a small-dowry marriage, the groom is traditionally obliged to offer a payment to the wife’s family, which is typically cash. Here (this type of marriage) the children trace their line of inheritance through their mother to her family: Meaning that when the children grow up, they have more choices as to where they can live. They can either decide to live with their father’s people or mother’s people.In contrast to the first type, the second type of marriage is a large-dowry marriage. And here the children belong to the father’s family. With the coming of Western civilization, the present day Ijaw seems to have changed from traditional worshipers to Christianity.However, there are some among them who still have faith in
026
their traditional religious practices. In the traditional religion of the Ijaws, veneration of ancestors plays a central. While water spirits, known as Owuamapu, figure prominently in the Ijaw pantheon. In addition, the Ijaw practice a form of divination called Igbadai, in which recently deceased individuals are interrogated on the causes of their death. They also believe that water spirits are like humans in having personal strengths and shortcomings and that humans dwell among the water spirits before being born. Traditionally, the Ijaws hold celebrations to honour the spirits, lasting for several days. And the highlight the festival is the role of masquerades. Here, men wearing elaborate outfits and carved masks dance to the beat of drums and manifest the influence of the water spirits through the quality and intensity of their dancing. Particularly spectacular masqueraders are taken to actually be in the possession of the particular spirits on whose behalf they are dancing. Interestingly, the Ijaws are one of the few peoples in the world known to practice ritual acculturation (enculturation). In this practice, it is possible for an individual, who hails from an entirely different tribe or group, to become an Ijaw after undergoing some certain rites. It is said that King Jaja of Opobo, the Igbo slave who rose to become a powerful Ibani (Bonny) chief in the 19th century, is an example. It is important to note here that the term Ijaw is the anglicised version of Ijo or Ejo, a variation of Ujo or Ojo, the ancestor who gave the Ijo people their name. It is said that wherever there is a river an Ijaw born is not far off. Although this is not always the case yet those words hold great significance.

TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD
THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
HON. ROBERT LUBEM ABOH (Human right activist Benue,NIGERIA)
Email:abohabemi@gmail.com Heads of State and Government and High Representatives, meeting at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from 25-27 September 2015 at the celebration of its seventieth anniversary decided on new global Sustainable Development Goals. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which were agreed upon demonstrated the scale and ambition of a new universal Agenda – The 2030 Agenda. The goals seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what the MDGs did not achieve; they seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental.
030
Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next fifteen years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet The 2030 Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, are therefore required to implement the action plan. In the action plan, it was resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and to heal and secure our planet with a determination to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. The collective resolution of world leaders for the sustainable development goals are summarized in the five (5) P’s formula: People: We are determined to end tion,including through sustainable poverty and hunger, in all their consumption and production, susforms and dimensions, and to entainably managing its natural resure that all human beings can ful- sources and taking urgent action on fill their potential in dignity and climate change, so that it can supequality and in a healthy environ- port the needs of the present and ment. future generations. Prosperity: We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature. Planet: We are determined to protect the planet from degrada-
Peace: We are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.
Partnership: We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
031
The collective vision of the 2030 Agenda entails: • We envisage a world free of poverty, hunger, disease and want, where all life can thrive. We envisage a world free of fear and violence. A world with universal literacy. A world with equitable and universal access to quality education at all levels, to health care and social protection, where physical, mental and social well-being are assured. A world where we reaffirm our commitments regarding the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation and where there is improved hygiene; and where food is sufficient, safe, affordable and nutritious. A world where human habitats are safe, resilient and sustainable and where there is universal access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy. • We envisage a world of universal respect for human rights and human dignity, the rule of law, justice, equality and non-discrimination; of respect for race, ethnicity and cultural diversity; and of equal opportunity permitting the full realization of human potential and contributing to shared prosperity; a world which invests in its children and in which every child grows up free from violence and exploitation. A world in which every woman and girl enjoys full gender equality and all legal, social and economic barriers to their empowerment have been removed; a just, equitable, tolerant, open and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met. • We envisage a world in which every country enjoys sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and decent work for all. A world in which consumption and production patterns and use of all natural resources – from air to land, from rivers, lakes and aquifers to oceans and seas - are sustainable. One in which democracy, good governance and the rule of law as well as an enabling environment at national and international levels, are essential for sustainable development, including sustained and inclusive economic growth, social development, environmental protection and the eradication of poverty and hunger. One in
032
which development and the application of technology are climate-sensitive, respect biodiversity and are resilient; one in which humanity lives in harmony with nature and in which wildlife and other living species are protected. The new Agenda is guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including full respect for international law. It is grounded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international human rights treaties, the Millennium Declaration and the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document. It is informed by other instruments such as the Declaration on the Right to Development. The Goals: • Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere • Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture • Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages • Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all • Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls • Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all • Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all • Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all • Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation • Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries • Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable • Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns • Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
033
• Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development • Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss • Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels • Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realized. If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better..

There are times we feel useless because we have goods and service no one patronise. There are times our worlds are in mess because even the youngest in the midst has above us rise There are times we have to say yes because our suituation is so sticky and not nice And so? Do we relent? Let me tell you There are talents that were never appreciated There are great scores that depreciated There are good people that were abated There are nobodies that eleviated There are wrong lights that radiated There are culprits that were never berated So what about you? The fact that you can't showcase what you've got today Doesn't mean your talent, skill or good deeds will not pay! See,Life rewards people who seize the moment, who take each moment and make it their own. It rewards those who appreciate experience, who put experience above all else. Shall we make an effort to live in the moment and to appreciate every single thing that comes across our path? Even the bad things if not taken too seriously, can be opportunities for goodness and growth. These are thoughts that spin around like tidal waves in my head. Those that have a perspective and an opinion of that which life is good may find good things more easily. These are my thoughts on life and this is why I attempt to live my life in a way that follows these thoughts. New things are there for people who love life, who want to experience life’s many great things. If we solely focus on the future we will rarely enjoy the present.
