Emotional Bank Account.

I was with a friend on two different occasions were he was making demand to withdraw from my Emotional Bank Account with him, but as I check, I discovered he had not made any deposit and previously over withdraw, he even lack Credibility and Integrity for what he was demanding for. Though I had what he was asking for, I could not give it to him. * How many times have you lost an opportunity to meet a Challenge because you were careless with your Emotional Bank Account with people?* What ever Success you desire to attain in Life cannot be achieved without the help of someone. * As you prepare to enter into a New Year as much as possible Build your Emotional Bank Account, it will come handy. Do ve a Glorious year. I love u wit All my HEART.

BENIN CITY – GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, Saturday escaped death in a ghastly motor accident involving the governor’s convoy around Ewu village, Auchi-Benin road.
Vanguard learnt that the incident occurred at about 9.45am on his way to Benin City from his Iyamho Village.
It was gathered that the incident occurred when a Peugeot J5 Bus with registration number XB 355 Fugar, conveying tomatoes and plantains lost control while trying to overtake an articulated vehicle and crashed  into the governor’s flag car, a BMW bullet proof car, before ending in a ditch.

Road Accident claim197 persons in Bauchi

No fewer than 197 persons have been killed in 286 road accidents that occurred in Bauchi State between January and December 2013. The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Bauchi State, Mr. Sunday Henry Olatunji, disclosed this yesterday during a special operation tagged “Sauka Lafiya”, meaning Safe Journey.
The special operation according to the sector commander commenced from December 19, 2013 to end January 2, 2014.
Olatrunji said that the commission recorded 1,203 casualties out of 286 auto crashes in the year under review.
The FRSC sector commander said a total of 197 persons were killed while 1006 were injured during the outgoing year.
“The special operation was an initiative of the commission to ensure safety of lives during the festive season and arrest drivers who commit traffic offences,” he said.
He said that such offences include over speeding, overloading, use of mobile phones while driving and invalid driving documents.
“The commission embarks on such special operations several times in a year to instill the culture of safety in drivers and passengers,” he added.
Olatunji disclosed that 34,000 officers were deployed nationwide to minimise the rate of crashes during the yuletide season.
He said that 350 officers including marshals were equally deployed to all the FRSC commands in the 20 local government areas of Bauchi State to curb traffic offences.
He therefore cautioned commercial drivers who were conscious of making profits during the festive seasons to consider the safety of their passengers.
He warned that the command would arrest and charge to court any driver who violates traffic rules and regulations.
