BY AGE 40, YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THE FOLLOWING TIPS.
By Prince Peretengboro
As individuals, we navigate through life’s complexities, striving for success, happiness, and fulfillment. Yet, along the journey, there are profound truths that many only grasp with age and experience. By the time we reach our forties, wisdom often accompanies us, shedding light on realities that shape our paths. Here are 15 insights you should embrace by this milestone:
Leverage is Key: Recognize that in the realm of work, those who wield leverage often earn significantly more. It’s not merely about the hours clocked in but about the value and influence you bring to the table.
Beware of Distractions: Distraction is a silent killer of success, eroding focus and potential. Guard your mind against its seductive grasp, for sustained concentration breeds achievement.
Choose Mentors Wisely: Seek guidance from those who have achieved what you aspire to. Advice from the accomplished holds greater weight than that from those still traversing their own paths.
Own Your Life: Understand that no one is coming to rescue you from life’s challenges. Take full accountability for your journey, for every triumph and setback lies within your sphere of influence.
Action Trumps Theory: While self-help literature offers insights, true transformation stems from action and discipline. Implementing knowledge into practice yields tangible results far beyond the pages of books.
Embrace Sales Skills: In the landscape of opportunity, proficiency in sales can unlock lucrative avenues, often surpassing traditional career trajectories in terms of financial gain.
Create Your Opportunities: Waiting for chances to materialize is futile. Seize the initiative, for the world favors the bold. Your destiny is in your hands; shape it as you will.
Collaborate, Don’t Compete: When faced with intellect superior to yours, align yourself with it. Collaboration breeds growth and fosters mutual success, far more than the fruitless pursuit of competition.
Reject Destructive Habits: Smoking serves no purpose but to impair clarity and diminish vitality. Reject such vices vehemently, for they detract from your potential and well-being.
Escape the Comfort Trap: Comfort breeds complacency, a slippery slope to despair. Challenge yourself to embrace discomfort, for therein lies the crucible of growth and resilience.
Guard Your Privacy: Share only what is necessary, preserving the sanctity of your personal space. Respect boundaries, both yours and others’, for privacy is a precious commodity.
Temperance Over Indulgence: Excessive alcohol consumption robs you of faculties and dignity. Exercise restraint, for sobriety heralds clarity and sound judgment.
Set High Standards: Refuse to settle for mediocrity in any facet of life. Demand excellence of yourself and those around you, for greatness is born of unwavering standards.
Prioritize Your Chosen Family: The bonds you forge by choice hold greater significance than those bestowed by blood. Invest in nurturing relationships that enrich your life and soul.
Detach from the Personal: Shield yourself from the sting of perceived slights and criticisms. By cultivating resilience and detachment, you inoculate your mind against the afflictions of ego and insecurity.
By internalizing these truths, one navigates the journey of life with clarity, purpose, and fortitude. As the sands of time continue to flow, may wisdom be your faithful companion, guiding you toward the fulfillment of your highest aspirations.

Abuja – A proposal to create 31 additional states across Nigeria is currently under consideration by the House of Representatives Committee on Constitutional Review. According to the committee, the move aims to address concerns about representation, governance, and regional development across the country.
The proposed states are distributed across various geopolitical zones, with six states suggested for the North-Central region, four for the North-East, five for the North-West, five for the South-South, and seven for the South-West. The committee has indicated that the proposal is in line with Section 8(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, which outlines the requirements for state creation.

7. Federal Capital Territory, Abuja (as an autonomous state)

Constitutional Process for State Creation
The proposal will require approval through a series of legislative steps. The Nigerian Constitution stipulates that for a new state to be established, it must be supported by at least a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, the State House of Assembly, and local government councils in the affected areas. Additionally, a referendum will be conducted, with the final decision forwarded to the National Assembly for ratification.
This proposed restructuring has generated mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a step toward decentralization and regional autonomy, while others question its feasibility given Nigeria’s economic and political landscape.

INC Demands the Creation of Toru-ebe and Oil Rivers States to Address the Underdevelopment of Ijaw Nation.
By Admin – Yenagoa
Ijaw National Congress (INC), the highest socio-cultural body representing the Ijaw people globally, has renewed its call for the establishment of two homogeneous Ijaw states—Toru-Ebe and Oil Rivers—citing persistent infrastructural under-development, political marginalization, and environmental neglect.
This was disclosed during a press conference held on Wednesday at Ijaw Ware in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. The INC President, Prof. Benjamin Okaba, emphasized that despite being Nigeria’s fourth-largest ethnic group and hosting some of the country’s key oil export terminals as the single highest producer of oil and gas, the Ijaw people have endured systemic neglect, both in infrastructure and politics.
“We call on the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and all distinguished members of the National Assembly to seize this moment in history and act in the interest of justice,” Prof. Okaba stated.
He described this demand as a crucial step toward achieving justice, equity, and lasting peace in the Niger Delta, stressing that it would help redress historical injustices, drive economic progress, and secure a better future for the Ijaw people.
According to the INC, the creation of the proposed states would not only address issues of political exclusion and under-development, but also strengthen national unity. The organization urged all Ijaw people, along with other well-meaning Nigerians, to support the move towards the actualization of this critical milestone for fairness and equity.
