• Gen. Yakubu Gowon Says Two Christian Friends in Plateau Betrayed Him in New Memoir

Former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd.), has revealed that two of his Christian friends from Plateau State betrayed him, saying the experience remains one of the painful memories of his life.

Gowon made the revelation in his newly launched memoir, My Life of Duty, unveiled in Abuja during a ceremony attended by prominent national figures, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, former First Lady Aisha Buhari, former Heads of State, senior military officers, diplomats, and other distinguished guests.

In the book, the former Head of State recalled that two of his Christian friends in Plateau State abandoned and betrayed him, noting that the incident left a lasting emotional impact.

According to Gowon, despite the passage of time, he still feels the pain of what he described as their betrayal.

The elder statesman explained that one of the major reasons for writing My Life of Duty was to correct what he described as longstanding misconceptions and inaccurate interpretations about his life, his leadership, and the policies of his administration.

He said the memoir offers his personal account of key events in Nigeria

  • Three Years After Lalong Left Office, Nigerians Reflect on His Legacy

Three years after the administration of former Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong came to an end, residents and political observers have continued to reflect on his eight-year tenure, with discussions centering on his achievements, shortcomings, and overall legacy.

Across social media platforms and public forums, many Nigerians have been asking a common question: "Three years after the Lalong administration ended, what stands out most to you about his time in office?"

The question has generated diverse reactions, with some respondents highlighting infrastructure development, road construction, educational reforms, and efforts to promote peaceful coexistence during his administration.

Others, however, pointed to persistent security challenges, economic concerns, unemployment, and governance issues, arguing that these remain among the defining aspects of Lalong

Self-love is the beginning of your personal success. It is the primary prerequisite requirement for an individual to lead a successful life. 

How well do you love yourself enough to lead a successful life? 

What do you do? 

How do you carry and compose yourself? This is very important for your growing up. 

If you truly want to find the keys to promotion, happiness, success and abundance, you need to start by evaluating your own opinion of yourself. It is not always easy to appreciate the hard work you put in every day. The difference you make in the lives of others, and the distance you’re willing to go to make your dreams come true.

 If it were easy, then everyone would do it.

Before you even begin to think about things such as success and failure, you need to come to know yourself, and then you need to learn to love yourself.

How to Love Yourself?

The more you reflect inward, the more you will learn about yourself, and through that learning, you will come to appreciate what you have to offer the world.

You will realize that you are stronger, more intelligent, and more talented than you have ever imagined.

 You will feel moved to share your gifts with the world, and over time that will transform you into an unselfish person, who knows what it means to find success.

Why is it challenging to Love Ourselves?

It’s not easy, because as the saying goes, “we are all our own worst critics.” 

That saying, though it may be a cliché, is absolutely correct. 

We find it difficult to love ourselves because we witness every mistake we make, every personality flaw we carry and every selfish tendency we possess. 

We are the one who knows exactly what we are capable of exhibiting at every point.

Learning to love yourself is not something that happens overnight. It is learned through experience and effort. 

Too often, society teaches us that we need to look outside ourselves to find out who we really are, but I think the exact opposite is true.

If you really want to understand more about your purpose in life, you need to turn inward, not outward.

Turning outward will cause you to submit to the pressures of the world and be a person that you aren’t meant to be.

However, reflecting inward will connect you with your true self, and if you follow your instincts you will never be led astray.

If the idea of loving yourself wholeheartedly is foreign to you, try taking the following steps and see what kind of difference it makes:

  • Forgive Yourself for Past and Future Mistakes

Each one of us will make mistakes every day, so you might as well forgive yourself now and get it over with it. 

Once you learn to forgive yourself for mistakes and move forward, you will be better in control of your emotional state. 

This will allow you to continue pushing toward your goals of success when mistakes and failures do come up. 

Here’s a secret- they will always come up!

Self Love is the Beginning of Your Personal Success
Know Your Worth Credit – Peter Lomas
  • Put Your Own Needs First, Every Now and Then

Each one of us has our own personal needs, but usually, we get too caught up taking care of the needs of others to make time to take care of ourselves. 

If you want to build more confidence and have positive feelings toward yourself, you need to ask yourself: “Is this what I really want?”, before you make any important decisions.

 Don’t make decisions based on the opinions of others.

Make decisions that are right for you. 

Over time you will love yourself more for being willing to trust your opinion and judgement.

  • Make Time to do Things, you Love

The most successful people in the world rarely have a difficult time with their work because they are involved in things they are deeply passionate about. 

You can take this same attitude with your life.

If you aren’t doing things you love on a routine basis, what is the purpose of living? 

Of course, make sure you have time to attend to all of your responsibilities, but always leave extra time for the things you love most. Remember, your passion will keep you going and in turn feed you.

 

Be inspired.
