PRESS STATEMENT- GOVERNOR OTU HAS NOT AWARDED ANY N5B RENOVATION CONTRACT

*OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER,* *MINISTRY OF INFORMATION* *HEADQUARTERS, CALABAR.* The attention of the Cross River State Government has been drawn to the unfounded news in some sections of the social media to the effect that the State Governor, His Excellency, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu has awarded contract for the renovation of the Governor's Office Complex for N5 billion. The report is untrue, mischievous and has no iota of professionalism to it. It is rather calculated to confuse and misin

Not a love story

In a world where differences bloom, Among the rest, you brightly loom. Adored by many, cherished and true, Qualities rare, a radiant view. My heart whispers, "I like you so," Feelings pure, a gentle flow. Content with what we share today, Certainty blooms, won't fade away. I'll treasure these feelings, ever so dear, Hoping fate binds us, drawing near. In the chapters unwritten, destiny's decree, Let's continue our tale, not a love story, but free.

Rather, it’s demonstrating an unrelenting focus on helping others succeed in their collective efforts. That’s what we call leadership, and that’s what great leaders do.

Not super hero

In capes of ordinary guise, No super strength, nor soaring skies. Just an everyday heart that beats, Facing life's challenges on its feet. No powers grand, no cape that flows, Yet within, a strength that glows. I'm not a hero of comic lore, But in life's battles, I'll explore. With flaws and fears that I embrace, I'll stand my ground, find my place. No superhuman feats to show, Just determination that continues to grow.

Venus: Earth's Not-So-Twin Planet

Venus: Earth's Not-So-Twin Planet Venus, our closest planetary neighbor, has often been called Earth's twin due to its similar size and mass. But beneath the thick veil of clouds that shroud the planet lies a world far stranger and more hostile than anything found on Earth. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. This scorching heat is caused by a runaway greenhouse effect.

Do not argue through text messages

Texting can be a great way to keep in touch. It is such a common way of communicating that it's easy to forget that it has some very serious limitations when it comes to conveying the finer points of human interaction. Texting is not a good medium for resolving conflict. Text messages lack tone of voice, facial expressions, and inflection. This leaves the reader to interpret what you've said in their own way and therefore, the meaning of your words can get lost. You could be being sarcastic, but without the inflection in your voice, they may not get that. You could be being direct, but without facial expressions and tone of voice, they might feel you are being rude. For example, if I you text your partner "OK," they might think you are annoyed or uninterested because it sounds short or abrupt. In reality, you might just be saying "OK" to confirm that you understand or you are agreeing to what they said. Another example, say you've had an argument with your boyfriend/girlfriend and
