BE A GOOD WOMEN,GOD WILL REWARD YOU

A Good Woman is not interested in your Money or Status.. What she wants from you is your Time, Loyalty, Love and Commitment.. But what is happening now is that Most Ladies (90-95%) are only interested in dating or getting married to a made man. They don’t believe a poor man today, has the potentials of being a rich man tomorrow.
If you’re such a lady, have you ever asked yourself how that rich man you crave for made his wealth?

And who said it is not a blessing to marry a rich man? Yes! it is. But then, what if you are destined to help your husband achieve his goals? Why do you look down on him because he hasn’t got luxury of cash?
Let me tell you something ladies, a rich man isn’t one who spends extravagantly. A rich man isn’t one who gives you a fat cash or writes you a cheque after sleeping with you.

A rich man is someone who’s potentially blessed and believes in his ability to convert his brain stock into reality in due time. When you meet such people, discuss with them, you’ll know instantly.
Don’t look down on him because he’s poor today, you never can tell tomorrow.

I really do respect ladies that pass through the fire with their man and stand proudly to enjoy with him tomorrow. “Don’t judge by appearance. A rich heart might be under a poor coat.”

When you love a man, be yourself. Stand by him. Give him all the support you can and hope for a better tomorrow. Don’t let your friend’s choices intimidate yours. He’s your man, be proud of him,he is your Man.

A good woman will never be impressed by wealth or riches because the unconditional love and affection she will give you for a lifetime is priceless. A real woman is not impressed by chivalry, heroism or macho looks because she will support you all your life with her emotional strength. A real woman just needs to be respected for her values and ethics and loved to the core ….

Finally,ladies Never abandon a good man for a stupid reason, a jobless man, and a lazy man is never the same. He may not have today and that doesn’t mean he will be lacking forever.

And for you Men, If you find a woman who is showing you love,care and support at your struggling stage in life. Do everything to keep her and always respect her and make her your Queen.

Be a good women with a sincere heart, support your man and God will reward you with a good family and your expectations will never be cut off in Jesus name Amen.

TRUST IS POWERFUL!

Imagine Jonah coming back after 3 days of absence, no phone call, no message, nothing,* only to tell his wife he was swallowed by a fish and vomited after 3 days 😀😃😃 – just imagine how that sounded.

The wife will feel like breaking his head.⛏⛏
“Swallowed by fish?
Are you talking to a baby?
What an insult, lying to me as if I don’t have any brains? Which fish, mackerel or tilapia”?

Even if Jonah reported the issue to a pastor, the pastor will call him aside and say, brother Jonah, why not pray against lying spirits.😊
Neighbors will shout “ahh madam, you don’t understand, the fish is another woman”.
But between you and I,
Jonah was telling the truth

To Every Wife and Husband out there…TRUST IS POWERFUL!💪🏽👍
It is a necessary tool for sustaining all relationships.

Trump says all African nations ‘complete toilets’ in new book by Cohen

Trump and Michael Cohen: set to release new book on Trump

In a new book out this week, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, alleges that Trump regarded all African countries and nations run by black people as “complete toilets”.

The book also said Trump made disparaging remarks about Black world leaders including former South African President Nelson Mandela after he died.

In the book, Cohen alleges that Trump described Mandela as a poor leader and disparaged U.S. minorities in general, the Washington Post has reported.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8264632571551786&output=html&h=343&slotname=3312974848&adk=505405369&adf=1601388704&w=412&ebfa=1&lmt=1599374715&rafmt=1&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&us_privacy=1—&format=412×343&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pmnewsnigeria.com%2F2020%2F09%2F06%2Ftrump-says-all-african-nations-complete-toilets-in-new-book-by-cohen%2F&flash=0&fwr=1&fwrattr=true&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&adsid=NT&dt=1599374812260&bpp=10&bdt=11119&idt=2316&shv=r20200831&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dd119f087ba9bda91%3AT%3D1597397180%3AS%3DALNI_MZyEcUgvZCPymkkXYuhkvqD6v68Sg&prev_fmts=0x0%2C412x343&nras=1&correlator=4777749202081&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=240909157.1597397068&ga_sid=1599374815&ga_hid=358569575&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=8841771089920&dssz=72&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=892&u_w=412&u_ah=892&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=1629&biw=412&bih=663&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21067034%2C21066973&oid=3&pvsid=358673748517343&pem=271&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fm.break.ma%2F&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1924&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C663%2C412%2C663&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CeEbr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8320&bc=31&ifi=2&uci=a!2&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=cxKflmmtVE&p=https%3A//www.pmnewsnigeria.com&dtd=2726

According to the newspaper, which has a copy of the book, Cohen wrote that following Mandela’s death in 2013, Trump said: “Mandela f—-ed the whole country up. Now it’s a s—-hole. F—- Mandela. He was no leader.”

Cohen also alleges that Trump said: “Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a s—-hole. They are all complete f—-ing toilets.”

Trump was previously linked with making denigrating comments about African countries.

In January 2018, during a discussion with lawmakers at the White House regarding immigrants, Trump reportedly exhibited frustration over protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries.

At the time, he allegedly said, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” This alleged comment generated outrage across the US and wider world.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8264632571551786&output=html&h=343&slotname=9019940553&adk=961045322&adf=1986380588&w=412&lmt=1599374715&rafmt=1&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&us_privacy=1—&format=412×343&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pmnewsnigeria.com%2F2020%2F09%2F06%2Ftrump-says-all-african-nations-complete-toilets-in-new-book-by-cohen%2F&flash=0&fwr=1&fwrattr=true&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&adsid=NT&dt=1599374812260&bpp=10&bdt=11119&idt=2375&shv=r20200831&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dd119f087ba9bda91%3AT%3D1597397180%3AS%3DALNI_MZyEcUgvZCPymkkXYuhkvqD6v68Sg&prev_fmts=0x0%2C412x343%2C412x343&nras=1&correlator=4777749202081&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=240909157.1597397068&ga_sid=1599374815&ga_hid=358569575&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=8841771089920&dssz=72&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=892&u_w=412&u_ah=892&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=2790&biw=412&bih=663&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21067034%2C21066973&oid=3&pvsid=358673748517343&pem=271&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fm.break.ma%2F&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1924&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C663%2C412%2C663&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CeEbr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8320&bc=31&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=Nn6n19dnsI&p=https%3A//www.pmnewsnigeria.com&dtd=2771

Trump never denied he said so, when President Muhammadu Buhari visited him in Washington.

“We didn’t discuss it. But you do have some countries that are in very bad shape,” he said at a joint press conference with Buhari.

However on Saturday White House Spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany attacked Cohen’s credibility.

“Michael Cohen is a disgraced felon and disbarred lawyer, who lied to Congress. He has lost all credibility, and it’s unsurprising to see his latest attempt to profit off of lies,” McEnany said in a statement.

Trump has called Cohen “a rat,” and a liar, and Cohen has said he faced repeated death threats from Trump supporters.

Trump, a Republican, is seeking re-election and will face Democrat Joe Biden at the polls on Nov. 3.

At the Republican convention in August where Trump was formally nominated to appear on the ballot, speakers defended Trump against past accusations of racism.

Cohen alleged that Trump was dismissive of minorities, and that Trump said during his 2016 presidential campaign that he would not win the Hispanic vote, the Washington Post reported. According to Cohen, Trump said: “Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump.”

Cohen is serving time for tax evasion, false statements and campaign finance violations, the last related to payments to silence women who alleged affairs with Trump before the 2016 presidential election.

He was released to home confinement in May given the risks of catching COVID-19 in prison, but then was briefly imprisoned again in July. A federal judge then ruled Cohen had been subjected to retaliation for planning to publish his book, and ordered him released againhttps://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8264632571551786&output=html&h=343&slotname=6328971641&adk=2539054310&adf=3232526984&w=412&lmt=1599374715&rafmt=1&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&us_privacy=1—&format=412×343&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pmnewsnigeria.com%2F2020%2F09%2F06%2Ftrump-says-all-african-nations-complete-toilets-in-new-book-by-cohen%2F&flash=0&fwr=1&fwrattr=true&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&adsid=NT&dt=1599374812260&bpp=9&bdt=11119&idt=2420&shv=r20200831&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Dd119f087ba9bda91%3AT%3D1597397180%3AS%3DALNI_MZyEcUgvZCPymkkXYuhkvqD6v68Sg&prev_fmts=0x0%2C412x343%2C412x343%2C412x343&nras=1&correlator=4777749202081&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=240909157.1597397068&ga_sid=1599374815&ga_hid=358569575&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=8841771089920&dssz=72&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=892&u_w=412&u_ah=892&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=4761&biw=412&bih=663&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21067034%2C21066973&oid=3&pvsid=358673748517343&pem=271&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fm.break.ma%2F&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1924&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C663%2C412%2C663&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CeEbr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8320&bc=31&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=3&fsb=1&xpc=xyODIChEPL&p=https%3A//www.pmnewsnigeria.com&dtd=2826

Cohen worked closely with Trump for years before turning against him, most publicly in testimony to Congress last year prior to Trump’s impeachment.

Now Cohen is serving a three-year sentence for, among other things, making false statements to Congress.

Taking to her Instagtam story to post pictures of a welcome cake for their son which had “Oh Boy!” text on it, Linda Ejiofor let it slip as she captioned one of the images;https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-1883810847636355&output=html&h=313&slotname=5583079804&adk=1215309189&adf=1363161397&w=375&fwrn=7&lmt=1598614572&rafmt=11&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&format=375×313&url=https%3A%2F%2Fres-h5.dailyadvent.com%2Flite%2Fdetail%2337b00bf3200904en_ng&flash=0&wgl=1&dt=1599194367006&bpp=9&bdt=426386&idt=10&shv=r20200831&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Da1461ef4ad92a2fb%3AT%3D1597562109%3AS%3DALNI_MaoY86Hf5jHNexFXp_2XtgXlGInBg&prev_fmts=375×58%2C375x313%2C0x0%2C375x313%2C394x163%2C394x163%2C375x58&nras=1&correlator=8569997128942&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=702903580.1599193955&ga_sid=1599193955&ga_hid=715543298&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=2281881346&dssz=17&mdo=0&mso=0&rplot=4&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=892&u_w=412&u_ah=892&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=18&ady=813&biw=412&bih=813&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21066973&oid=3&psts=AGkb-H8AlHdYSC7dFyKkiH1Qk3rvRKv5eZJ-B_Xd9Fq5fNrATQEpzvRVgs0xf7Eqv7U%2CAGkb-H-M_ECFGXBBTeLbQMiZ989fdJ4vpdkhtdvmyhTcPIlP-i38LYV_IM2mK1vZtag%2CAGkb-H8_c1GhOWgOpxNNRu_mrE7JSxPAxGZoMap8JCcioQeKoBhGXRaHhFDefyXxw6c%2CAGkb-H9_OZVErdqH2kQxMpmJJlxFqXA9O0LvL6ZAlJye_GhP26wdtnySDia1PRjE4dI%2CAGkb-H9xWuRaoZ8GYtr69aw6o4t1Dsax74rAizExMVovDTHdSw_KQ9c0UFenx_Uwqts&pvsid=3705415847231516&pem=892&rx=0&eae=0&fc=900&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C813%2C412%2C813&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CpoEebr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8320&bc=31&ifi=7&uci=a!7&btvi=5&fsb=1&xpc=BQfHhbcj5K&p=https%3A//res-h5.dailyadvent.com&dtd=55

The Stupidity Of A Waster

Stupidity 1…A Bathing soap for 80k??
Will it wash away sins and sorrows?

Stupidity 2…. One Eye glasses for 350k??
If I wear it, will I be able to see the future?

Stupidity 3 …. An Italian shoe for 150k?? Will I be able to walk on water?

Stupidity 4 …. A Plasma TV for 500k?? Will it show me the Judgement day on the last day live?

Stupidity 5 …. A Gold plated mobile phone for 3 million naira. Chai!!! Will I use it to answer heaven’s call?

Stupidity 6 …. A Hand Bag for 1.3Million naira?? Will I put my life inside it?

Stupidity 7 …. 2 million naira for a table in comedy show. Which kind laugh I never laugh before?

Stupidity 8 … 3 Million naira per year at a university. After graduation, will they make me the president?

Sometimes, I wonder why some people spend like crazy, knowing full well that there are hungry children in the streets roaming about naked.

  1. The smallest act of kindness you show, can change someone’s life.
  2. Remember, money only brings happiness if you help people with it.
  3. Let someone say to you, BECAUSE OF YOU I DIDN’T GIVE UP !!!

When God blesses you financially, don’t just raise your STANDARD OF LIVING, also raise your STANDARD OF GIVING.

2 WMC nurses honored by American Nurses Association

Winchester Medical Center nurse Barbara McWhinney uses a cart as she makes her rounds visiting patients. McWhinney has been selected to receive the Star Award from the American Nurses Association, along with fellow WMC nurse Lisa Dellinger.

Winchester Medical Center nurse Lisa Dellinger, shown at a busy critical care nurses station in the hospital, is one of six finalists to receive a Nightingale Award in honor of acclaimed 19th-century nurse Florence Nightingale. She also is recipient of the Star Award, a new nurse recognition.

They were among the 100 honorees. Dellinger was also chosen as one of six finalists to receive a Nightingale Award in honor of acclaimed 19th-century nurse Florence Nightingale.

WINCHESTER — Barbara McWhinney remembers the first open-heart patient she ever cared for in her 53-years-and-running nursing career.

“I’ve been allowed to take care of so many people,” she said. “It’s just a wonderful occupation.”

Mostly she has loved being a part of people’s lives and following them from inpatient care to recovery and beyond.

“[It’s] an honor to take care of someone’s family,” she said. “It’s just a great feeling.”

Critical care nurse Lisa Dellinger also has stories to tell from her 24 years as a nurse.

“I love seeing the people get better and go home and feel better and be able to be with their families,” she said.

Recently recalling a very sick patient she cared for at Winchester Medical Center, she marveled at how, despite his long recovery after surgery, he returned home to his family.

“He walked out of there,” she said. “It makes everything you do worthwhile.”

McWhinney and Dellinger, both longtime nurses at WMC, were recognized by the American Nurses Association and The Washington Post at Tuesday’s Star Awards ceremony, a new nurse-recognition event.

Named alongside 100 others from around Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., they were honored in a ceremony streamed online and chosen from 640 nurses nominated by patients, colleagues and families.

Dellinger was also chosen as one of six finalists to receive a Nightingale Award in honor of acclaimed 19th-century nurse Florence Nightingale.

The award ceremony is one of several that bear Nightingale’s name, including ones created by the Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing (nightingalenursingawards.org) in Connecticut and the International Committee of the Red Cross (icrc.org).

The World Health Organization has named 2020 the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife in honor of the 200th anniversary of Nightingale’s birth on May 12, 1820.

“I am so proud of Barb and Lisa for this recognition as Star nurses,” Anne Whiteside, chief nursing officer at WMC, wrote in a Wednesday email. “You have skillfully cared for hundreds of patients and mentored so many nurses in your careers. You represent the best of nursing and we are so grateful for all you do for every patient, every day.”

Dellinger, 51, of Berkeley County, West Virginia, said she was honored to be selected for the Star Award and even more shocked to learn on Tuesday that she was a Nightingale Award winner.

Dellinger participated Tuesday in a watch party along with several coworkers who watched through Zoom.

“It was a lot of fun. I had no belief that I would win,” she said.

“It was great celebrating with all of my coworkers,” she said. “Without your coworkers, you’re just one person. Nursing is definitely a team effort.”

That team effort made an impact on Jennifer Hoefs, who nominated Dellinger for the Star Award.

“She was my mentor and a charge nurse on night shift,” Hoefs wrote in her nomination submission. “She has an amazing heart for helping new grad nurses, especially in such a tough unit. When a new nurse walks into that unit, Lisa is there to support and help them get on their feet. … She is the nurse that I (and my co-workers) would hand pick to take care of our family members.”

Hoefs said she wanted to “give back” to Dellinger all the support she’s shown her coworkers and nursing students over the years.

“She’s super deserving. She goes above and beyond,” Hoefs said. “She has not lost her joy, she has not lost her passion and compassion.”

Having started her career in the Air Force as a medical technician on a C-130, Dellinger said she’s found ways to grow from and build on the structured chain of command that she loved at the time but said isn’t the same in civilian life.

It’s important to train new nurses to ask questions and work through their intimidation, she said.

“I’ve learned to speak up for my patients more,” she said. “I think we are better advocates now. We don’t just take what the doctor says at face value.”

McWhinney, who lives in Front Royal, came to Winchester Memorial Hospital in 1967 and started as a staff nurse before moving on to head nurse or case manager in nearly every hospital unit, including the emergency room, operating room and recruitment.

Now 79 years old and still working in Wound, Ostomy and Continence services, she said she has the best job.

Her first nursing experience was in the fourth grade when she gave her mother shots to treat tuberculosis while her father was away during World War II. She recalled using a glass syringe for the first time and deciding then and there that she wanted to be a nurse.

Over the years, so much in the nursing industry has changed, she said.

It used to be all women, but now men are nurses too.

Disposable items, now the norm, were unheard of back then. There were no computers; everything was done by hand. And the changes in surgeries and technology, she said, are “just remarkable.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has also brought a lot of firsts for her, with so much uncertainty and visitation restrictions.

“I think one of the hardest things in the beginning [was] when people were so sick and we didn’t allow visitors. You try to give part of yourself to them,” she said.

“Being with a mask all the time is a challenge,” she said. “And people not understanding what is happening.”

However, she said, “the hospital has been wonderful in taking care of us.”

Registered nurse Therese Collins nominated her, saying Wednesday that McWhinney has always been willing to share her knowledge with colleagues.

“She wants you to understand why,” Collins said. “[She’s] a phenomenal teacher, mentor. … I hope when I’ve been a nurse for 50 years, I love it as much.”

Eric McBride, a forensic nurse examiner and clinical manager of Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine, called McWhinney a “phenomenal resource” for patients and the greater medical community.

“The impact Barb has had on her patients cannot be measured,” he wrote in an email. “Our patient population is a group that needs extra care and attention. … Barb has been at the bedside guiding and educating these patients for decades. Her expert level knowledge coupled with her caring nature have helped thousands of patients in the Valley Health region.

“She has gone beyond the call of duty for her patients many times. She is one of the greatest patient advocates I have ever worked with.”

In a couple of snapshots from her career, McWhinney recalled when she helped a patient dying from cancer sneak her young daughter into the hospital to take several pictures together.

About 18 years later, McWhinney was in the Intensive Care Unit when a doctor asked if she remembered the cancer patient before introducing her to a young nurse who said those photos are the only ones she has of her mother.

“I just became a nurse because of you,” the daughter told McWhinney.

“That was a pretty big moment for me,” McWhinney recalled. “I made someone’s life a little bit better.”
