Great one

Up until 1990, the world relied on GDP and similar methodologies to measure the quality of life of citizens and the development in a country. However, in 1990, Mahbub ul Haq and Amartya Sen developed a new methodology for measuring the quality of life in a country. Unlike other metrics, Human Development Index (HDI) considers critical factors such as the likelihood of:
a long and healthy life (measured by life expectancy)
access to knowledge (measured by mean years of education)
a decent standard of living (Gross National Income (GNI) per capita).
This article uses this methodology to rank the most developed African countries.

From my observations,ever since I have been watching television. I have been able to discover
Some special display of raw talents and abilities.this has prompted me to compile a list of people whom I believed fall within this categories.

THE UNDERTAKER:
The undertaker has been a FORCE to be reckoned with in the history of sports entertainment.
From my observations I can say that "No man in the Field of entertainment has more charisma than the undertaker". from the way he enters the auditorium ,as he makes his way through the audience. he has been referred to as the man with the most charismatic entrance in wwe history. just look at the way he enters the ring,the way he removes his hat. with his eyes turning white.he is just too much.

Dr d.k olukoya
This is the founder of mfm.he modernized charismatic praying.a lot of people recognize the dynamic praying style of mfm.There is no church in this world that prays like mfm.
Therefore,I sat that" No man in today's Christianity has more prayer charisma than Dr dk olukoya.

Michael Joseph Jackson:
You all know this man.he was the greatest entertainer of all time in the music world.he was full of charisma and vibes.No musician is as popular as MJ,he had a unique sense of fashion.in fact no musician ever had more electrifying charisma on the stage than m.j

Chris oyakhilome.
Well,he is one of a kind.a teacher with soo much life and fire.he teaches the word of God as though he is from above.to me,no man in today's Christianity has more charisma than him in the teaching the word.

AYO FAYOSE OF EKITI:
This guy is the bomb.he acts differently from other governors. Sometimes he dresses like a soldier.he challenges the presidency like no mans business. He rides on okada,he uses street boys and hunters as his security guard.he challenged the D.S.S. no Governor in today's politics has more charisma than fayose.

FELA
Fela kuti was a legend.he thrived in the military political era.he was fearless. He criticized the military government. He performed almost naked on stage, he had so much charisma. No musician in Nigeria can ever fill his place.

Odunlade adekola
As far as acting is concerned in Nigeria,no actor in today's Nigeria has more charisma than this actor.remember Sunday dagboru.

C.Ronaldo:
Well we all know how football is today.No name is more mentioned than that name in today's footballing. He his soo charismatic on the pitch that some people actually watch football just because of him.some people even argue and fight each other because of this man.

Vin diesel;
Fast and furious, riddick,pitch black actor. For me ,I consider him as the most charismatic actor in Hollywood.

Please, I encourage us to locate our area of gifting and focus our energy on it.we too could become established in the future.

I have been having fever,catarrh, sneezing for few days.though I have taken antimalarial medication.but the fever,sneezing,catarrh, body pain and weakness still persist. I think it is a flu. so how do I treat it?

hello,please who does the piping for wires?is it the plumber or the electrician?

My late mum bought a half plot of land in 2003 from the family council of a particular area in lagos state.she made an agreement and she was given a receipt containing the signature of the council heads.later in 2015/2016,another family came and brought a magistrate court judgement stating that they have won the case against the family council.though my mum built a room on the land in 2009,and we stayed there before she died.now the family that won the case is threatening to reclaim the land.but I noticed that they have not met with other land owners who also bought from the family council,but have developed their land in full capacity.I sense that they are coming to us because it is only a room that we have built on the land.I met with them,they demanded that I bring the land documents.I have not given it to them yet,and I have not told them that we bought the land from family council yet. Please I need your advice.

Security plays an important role in our lives.even as individuals,we are one way or the other a beneficiary of the security agencies of the state.I want to talk to you about the security of our general overseers.I remember when my G.O came to dedicate a newly built cathedral in lagos,he had different units of security detail.he had d police,the bouncers and the" men on suits".These" men on suits" are the main focus of this write-up.these men were the ones that personally surrounded the G.O and escorted him inside the church.the way they moved and co-ordinated their entry was quite professional.To me,I am of the impression that they belonged to the SSS.I saw them in action,just as the tactically protect obama in a crowded scene.that was how the G.O was neatly and surgically protected through the crowd as he made his way into the church.Now, my question is; have you seen this"men on black" before with other pastors?if you have? Do u think they belong to the SSS? And if so,does SSS now protect private individuals?

Hello,my friend.please just try to free your mind.I suffered from this,and it almost cost me my life.if u want to think about something,just think about it and put it off your mind.if you check your Blood pressure now you will see that it is high.because you are overworking your heart.I had an attack in 2015,and I am still recovering from it now.
