Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s taking action despite it. Face your fears head-on, and you will realize they were only shadows.

All our dreams can come through if we have the courage to pursue them

Sitting Upright During Labor – Benefits & Tips

Encourages Baby to Descend – Sitting upright helps gravity assist in moving the baby down into the birth canal.
Opens the Pelvis – A more upright position can create more space for the baby to pass through.
Relieves Pressure – Sitting can reduce pressure on the back, especially if using a supportive chair or birth stool.
Improves Breathing – Sitting upright allows for better airflow and easier breathing during contractions.
Support with Pillows – Prop yourself with pillows or sit on a birth ball for added comfort and stability.

Moms, did you try sitting upright during labor? How did it feel?

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." – Winston Churchill

The Latin word:
"Carpe Diem" means "Seize the day"

A phrase that encourages you to make the most of the present moment!

What a powerful and thought-provoking statement! It highlights the hypocrisy and double standards that often exist in society.

It's indeed foolish to judge and criticize single women with kids, while praising one's own single mother for her strength and resilience. This contradiction reveals a lack of empathy, understanding, and self-awareness.

Your statement encourages us to reflect on our own biases and behaviors, and to treat others with the same kindness, respect, and admiration that we have for our own loved ones.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill
I hope this quote motivates you to stay courageous and keep pushing forward, even in the face of challenges and setbacks!

As part of my commitment to encouraging a conducive learning environment and quality education of our people, I commissioned and handed over an academic block, which I built, to Maurid College of Nursing Science, Mbiaso, Nsit Ibom local government area, during its maiden matriculation ceremony of 300 students, where I served as chairman on the occasion, yesterday.

I also promised to install solar-powered lightings around the institution's premises to ensure security of the students and property at night.

I used the opportunity to charge the prospective healthcare professionals to focus on their studies, so that upon graduation, they will fill the manpower gap created in the health sector by migration of other professionals for greener pastures.

Part of my address to them reads; "Your journey to becoming healthcare professionals is a call to service and humanity. This is further buttressed in the popular maxim that "health is wealth." This is in line with Harvey S. Firestone's philosophy that "the growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership."

"This quote has consistently guided my life and activities both in private and public service. It is the propelling force behind my mega empowerment, scholarship, bursary, skill acquisition, facilitation of jobs in strategic Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and foreign trainings to Akwa Ibom people."

"Also, the newly completed edifice, which shall be commissioned and donated to the institution today, is my modest effort to encourage this massive investment and, most especially, to ensure you get a conducive learning environment."

"These efforts are aimed at raising Akwa Ibom men and women who are stable enough to compete favourably with their counterparts globally."

Worthy of commendation is the Chairman of Maurid Group of Schools, Dr. Godwin Umontuen, for his foresight and investment in education, and for being a true patriot who cares about the development of the state and country.

His massive investment is interwoven with love and patriotism for the country at the centre. It is selfless, with clear intention to train and equip health professionals needed to provide healthcare services for mankind.

In the book Attitude is everything,the writer states that fear stands for 'false evidences appearing real'. Fear is a normal human feeling which is important in our lives as humans but which can hinder our growth and success when we let it overwhelm us. Most times we are held back from achieving great feats in life because we are scared of one thing or the other,but when we get past that feeling we realise that there was nothing to be afraid of. We should instead focus on developing courage, confidence and braveness to believe in ourselves before we can expel the feeling of fear. It doesn't mean we won't get scared, but we will develop the abilities to overcome our fears.
