informant was subjected to all kinds of ordeal, with insinuations that he was insane to the extent he might not be able to manage the huge money that would accrue to him. If nothing else, that incident dealt a huge damage to its credibility, and evidently led to the loss of confidence in the policy.

Don't blame yourself for mistakes

It is impossible to live life without making mistakes. But in reality there are no errors. There are consequences that happen after you make a decision. They may suit you or not. You just need to accept it, because the experience has already been gained. Understand that you chose what you chose and did what you did. At the moment of decision making, you have found the best possible option for yourself.

Let go of everything that did not happen, that was lost, lost, thrown away. And then live with the idea that any result is possible. The main thing is don’t destroy yourself for something in the past and don’t be afraid of a terrible future.

Love yourself for your strengths and forgive yourself for your shortcomings - these are the two main principles that will help you accept yourself for who you are.

That incident, besides opening the government to ridicule, raised several questions about the whole policy. It also revealed that when it comes to keeping agreements, our government can hardly be trusted.


According to the policy, a whistle-blower was entitled to between 2.5 per cent and five per cent, provided there was a voluntary return of stolen or concealed public funds.

What is even more perplexing was that incident became a media event, while the said informant was subjected to all kinds of ordeal, with insinuations that he was insane to the extent he might not be able to manage the huge money that would accrue to him. If nothing else, that incident dealt a huge damage to its credibility, and evidently led to the loss of confidence in the policy.


Now that President Tinubu is said to be interested in reviving the idea, so many issues would have to be investigated.

Nigerians would also like to know how much was realised from previous efforts and how the money was expended.

Computer village has its own Yoruba association which manages the interests of Yoruba ethnicity already, trying to change the narrative by playing ethnic card will not suffice as there is no single record of such incidence nor rancor or disharmony between any ethnic group within the information technology hub or its immediate environment in several years till date.”

Slow down and ground yourself

The high pace of life, as a rule, deprives us of the opportunity to contemplate, listen to the body and have quiet, leisurely conversations. Giving yourself permission to take a walk in the park, even at the cost of undone tasks, can be more therapeutic than forcing yourself to complete tasks at any cost. Half an hour of meditation in the evening or in the morning will help you focus on yourself and hear how your body reacts to slowing down. A couple of hours of complete immersion in a conversation about something neutral will remind you of what is really important to you.

Also, the group wants the duo to desist from collection of levies or imposition of lump sums on their business partners.

The incorporated trustees of Ikeja Computer Village Market Traders and Stakeholders Joint Management Lagos, have appealed to Mrs Folasade Tinubu Ojo to promptly comply with the Ikeja High court’s judgement on computer village market and stop being in contempt of the court of law.

The marketers and stakeholders are taxpayers and are capable of managing their market by themselves and further distances themselves from the fabricated publication put up by the Worldwide Igbimo Yoruba Agbaiye as total lies and fallacy and that it’s a misrepresentation of what’s ongoing in computer village.

Learn self-compassion

Demand, exploit, force yourself to do things through “I can’t” - please. We know how and practice. But allowing yourself to experience different feelings and states, which are not always easy and pleasant, is not. Meanwhile, by accepting our emotions, we reduce stress levels and increase our inner resource. And we find a person who will never let you down and never leave you.
