A TIME FOR DOUBLE EFFORT - Elvira Jordan

A TIME FOR DOUBLE EFFORT - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! 😊 Going about my everyday life, I have a really relaxed attitude and belief that all I need to do is just my own little part and just let things flow. But there are situations that need more than just your “little part”. There are situations that require your full strength, attention and efforts.  There are certain times in our lives when everything may seem on a standstill or the progress of our endeavor may appear slow or not forthcoming at all. There are times when things will look to be moving really slow; grand efforts yielding minimal results or less than our expectations.  These times are one of the most challenging because it is moments like this that kills the zeal to keep moving, makes us want to relax or just give up and let everything go. Although there are times I have advised people to just chill for a moment and watch things unfold, today before you chill there are certain things you need to be sure...

LEAP BEFORE YOU LOOK - Elvira Jordan

Good Morning Beloved! 😊 In all of our dealings, especially when it comes to certain critical issues, we are meant to analyze situations, think through issues and watch closely until we can take decisions that truly matter… decisions that  will  lead to positive outcomes.  This is the most advisable approach in life!  Before I switch to the mischievous mood in the air today, I want us to first of all understand that critical thinking should be a constant given in our lives. Man is only termed a “rationale being” because of his ability to be objective when the need arises.  However, today feels like one of those days where we will not have to think too much before we get things done.  There are certain things that have been left hanging, left unsaid, left undone because we have been trying to be too careful.  There are ways we may have been micromanaging ourselves into a corner because our critical mind is trying to get the best out of the situation. Ev...

Democracy Day: PANDEF Calls For The Restoration Of Democracy In Rivers State

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) says there is a contradiction between the ideals of the significance of the date “June 12” and the happenings in Rivers State. In a statement released by the group, they described the situation in Rivers State as “creeping authoritarianism”. Read the statement below….  REMEMBERING JUNE 12 AND OUR COLLECTIVE CALL TO ACTION IN RIVERS STATE On this significant day, the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) extends our congratulations to all Nigerians as we mark twenty-six years of an uninterrupted democratic journey. We particularly salute President Bola Tinubu, who now has the privilege of leading the nation in commemorating Democracy Day—a day that honors the historic June 12, 1993 presidential election, unjustly annulled by the then-military regime. Of note we appreciate the state pardon granted to Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni Nine. PANDEF notes that the profound meaning of this day in Nigeria's checkered democratic history remains a poignant reminder of ...

WE ALWAYS RISE - Elvira Jordan

WE ALWAYS RISE - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! 😊 I was having a conversation with someone a few days back and it’s funny how I was pondering on similar thoughts before her messages came in.  I was reliving some aspects of my life and I honestly didn’t have anything to say to myself. But when someone else shared a very similar story, one full of regrets, shame and loss, I could understand how she got to such state of mind, one that I don’t entertain for myself or anyone around me. As she shared her story, clarity came to me as I also poured out from my own well of strength. Far from living in the past, sometimes we just can’t shake off the urge to look back into our past and identify areas where we have made mistakes, opportunities we have lost, decisions we took that went south and how much time we have wasted.  One who is honest with themselves will know where they may have had it wrong, and only such honesty can propel us to the necessary changes we need in our lives....
