Sustainability is no longer a niche environmental concern, it’s now central to how individuals, organisations, and technologies shape the future. Yet it is still too often perceived as restrictive, complex, or exhausting.

Ashlee Piper challenges this mindset by reframing sustainability through the lens of mindful consumption. Her work highlights how intentional choices, rather than perfection or sacrifice, can lead to meaningful environmental impact, financial wellbeing, and long-term behavioural change.

This perspective offers important lessons beyond personal lifestyle decisions. For industries working with advanced technologies like AI, the same principles apply: unchecked growth and resource use can undermine progress if not guided by conscious design. Energy efficiency, responsible data use, and ethical system development are no longer optional, they are foundational.

By placing human behaviour, communication, and responsibility at the centre of innovation, Piper’s philosophy encourages a future where sustainability and technology evolve together, thoughtfully, transparently, and with purpose.

According to Nigerian Tribune, former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate under the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has advised young Nigerians to embrace hard work and entrepreneurship, instead of focusing on shortcuts to success. He made this known while speaking at the first edition of the Amatutu Community Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Summit. The event, which took place in his hometown of Agulu in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, brought together many young people from across the region.
Peter Obi used the opportunity to express concern over what he described as a worrying trend among some youths who are desperate to get rich quickly without considering the long-term consequences. He urged them to understand the value of genuine effort and to cultivate habits that promote sustainable development. According to him, success built on hard work not only lasts longer but also helps to build a better society. He explained that entrepreneurship offers more meaningful rewards than unlawful pursuits.

During his address at the summit, Obi gave personal insights into his family background. He mentioned that his father was once a wealthy man who owned luxurious properties and several vehicles, including three Mercedes Benz cars in the late 1950s. He explained that despite this, the family did not hold on to those material things forever. This, he noted, serves as an example that wealth can come and go, but values and principles remain. He encouraged the youth to focus on acquiring knowledge, building character, and developing useful skills that would prepare them for future leadership and business roles.

How Gaza’s hospitals became battlegrounds.

Relentless bombardment, power outages and shortages have pushed nearly every hospital in the beleaguered northern Gaza Strip out of service, with evidence of repeated attacks on and in the vicinity of medical facilities despite the presence of doctors, patients and civilians inside, a CNN analysis has found.

At least 20 out of 22 hospitals identified by CNN in northern Gaza were damaged or destroyed in the first two months of Israel's war against Hamas, from October 7 to December 7, according to a review of 45 satellite images and around 400 videos from the ground, as well as interviews with doctors, eyewitnesses and humanitarian organizations. Fourteen were directly hit, based on the evidence collected and verified by CNN and analyzed by experts.

Israel launched its bombardment and ground invasion of the Gaza Strip after Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack, in which at least 1,200 people were killed and more than 240 others taken hostage. In the first two months of the war, at least 17,100 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on the strip, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. At the time of publishing, that number was more than 23,400.

Israel says that Hamas operates inside and underneath hospitals, and is using them for military operations, including as command centers, weapons stores and to hide hostages. The Israelis have released footage they say is evidence of those Hamas operations. The videos do not offer definitive proof, and Hamas has denied the claims.

CNN sent a list of the hospitals identified as damaged or destroyed to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In response, the IDF said it “did not conduct any targeted attacks against hospitals in the Gaza Strip,” adding that “Hamas systematically misuses hospitals and medical facilities.”

Daniel Bwala, an aide to President Bola Tinubu has said that almost all the members of opposition parties will be joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) in due time.

The presidential aide expressed his joy over the defection of the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.

According to Bwala, a former presidential candidate in the 2023 election would also join the APC.

His words, “Delta in the bag, almost all opposition members are coming, including a former vice presidential candidate in the 2023 election.”

Bwala also described the coalition championed by Atiku Abubakar and Nasir El-Rufai as a “coalition of confusing confusion”.

He noted that there are only two political parties in Nigeria.

He said, “Coalition of confusing confusion; Una never see anything yet. A former presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election is warming up as well.

“There are only two political parties in Nigeria; APC and others,” he wrote on X.

WHAT WOMEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEN...✍🏾

1. Men don't read minds. If you want him to know you and what's on your mind, tell him.

2. A man loves it when his woman brags about him.

3. A man hates it when things he shares with his woman are told to her girlfriends as juicy gossip.

4. The number one thing a man finds sexy is her heart, the man serious about love might look at a woman with a gorgeous body but he only chases after and keeps the one with a good heart.

5. Men don't think about sex all the time. It means alot to him to have a woman he can talk to deep and intelligent stuff. His need for sexual stimulation is high and scattered, but his need for mental stimulation is constant.

6. The easiest way to keep him from spending too much time with his friends at the expense of you, is to make sure being with you is more fun, more intelligently stimulating, more stress-free than being with his friends.

7. Every good man loves his woman more than his friends, but if he spends more time with his friends it's to escape the stress he gets when with her.

8. The more you nag, the more he will avoid you.

9. Men want to express their feelings, but will only do so when they feel safe. How much he lets you be there for him depends on how much he thinks you can handle his issues.

10. Don't fight his favourite past time, embrace it. If he loves football, watch matches with him or buy him a jersey. If he loves to swim, swim with him or just check him out as you chill by the pool. If he loves to dance, dance with him even if you are not a pro. The more you do things with him, the more he will value your company, the more he will in return learn to like or accommodate what you like.

11. No matter what happens in your marriage, make sure your sex-life doesn't suffer. Don't ever use sex as a weapon to attack him or punish him.

12. If he truly loves you, he will still find you sexy whether you gain or lose weight. The thing is always know how to dress and look sexy no matter your size; men can pick up a woman's confidence.

13. When you give birth, don't focus too much on being a great mother that you forget to remain a great wife.

14. Men also love to be listened to. Be his confidant. Find out how he is, how his day has been. He has feelings too. Let it not always be about you.

15. Don't jump into conclusions quickly when you hear rumors about him or think he is cheating or fooling around. Confront him gently with love, it will make him respect you more. He should never feel you are quick to leave his team, be rational.

16. Know that good men are constantly being bashed by society because of what the bad ones have done and are doing. Look at him as an individual, celebrate him

17. The more you appreciate his efforts, the more he will do for you.

18. Don't let your hurry to get married put him off. Don't rush love.

19. A man and a woman may not grow ready at the same pace. Don't force a marriage proposal out of him, if he loves you and is serious, be sure he is planning the proposal. The more comfortable you make him, the easier you make it for him; the more you rush him, the more he starts to feel used.

20. A man will always be publicly proud of the woman he admires, be admirable.

21. The number one cause for a man to feel less important and threatened in a woman's life is when he has little money or he can't adequately provide. This is one of most crucial moments when he needs his woman to affirm him that she still loves him and the two will find a way.

22. It's not that men are intimidated by women with power and success it's just that they detest the pride of some of these women with power and success. You wouldn't want to be with a proud man so full of himself just because he has lots of money and success; neither do the men want to be with such a woman.

23. Never praise another man yet belittle your man. A man will not hesitate to walk away from a woman who sees him as nothing.

24. When an issue has been resolved between you and your man, move past it. It is retrogressive to dig up resolved fights to prove how right you are and how wrong he is.

25. Patience with a man will take you far. Many women miss out on the growth with a man because they want perfect right now.

26. Submitting to a man doesn't mean you are his slave, it just means giving him the authority to build with you, to nourish you, to look out for you and be concerned about your well being.

HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN.
Dear Parents Please, carefully look at the list below and identify where you may want to make amends on yourself or on the young ones you are bringing up.

Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if both parents are at the top of their careers.
Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, wealth or your reach or influence:

1) Going to your child's school indecently dressed. (Think again).

2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher.

3) Cursing, using foul language or swearing words in front of your children.

4) Using makeup on children.

5) Dressing your little children up indecently (they loose their sense of Princess Hood).

6) Putting earrings on your son's ears.

7) Your child holds the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct.

8) Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. (You will be blamed for it).

9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day.

10) Your children bringing home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. (that is the beginning of stealing).

11) The Children talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st century Parent. (You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined).

12) The Children interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners).

13) The Children exercising authority over the Nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. (that is bad parenting).

14) The Children saying things like "my driver is on his way..." I do not advocate that children should call your domestic staff Uncle, Aunty or Brother, calling them by Name when they are not young people is not proper either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.

15) Your children don't say a 'thank you' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting).

16) When your Children cannot stand children who are less privileged.

18) When the Children pick their noses with their hands.

19) When the Children don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom or after returning from school or outside visits.

20) When your Children take something from the fridge without seeking permission. (Bad parenting).

21) When your Children don't knock on closed doors and wait for a response before opening the door.

22) When your Children don't collect from your hands items you brought in as you walk into your home.

23) When your Children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra tasks. (That is disgraceful).

24) When your Children act like their Grandparents irritate them. (It's a Transferable Curse).

25) When your Children have not learnt to get up from the Chair for the Elderly or Visitors to sit.

26) When your Child tells lot of Lies. (You will both cry in the future).

27) When your Children ask "who is that?" at a knock on the door instead of "please, may I know who is there."

28) When your Child is always seated by your Visitors when being served Drinks or Food.

29) When your Children still point their fingers at other people, when talking to or speaking about them.

30) When your Children play and jump around when Prayers are going on. (These can apply to Children from Ages 4 and Above).

31) When a child wakes up in the morning, just staring at his/her Parents and Elders without greeting. (It is a bad habit and does not show good upbringing).

• Don't be a 21st Century Parents who can't correct their Children.

• Train your Children in the way of the Lord so that when they grow up they will not depart from such Godly Training or Upbringing.

IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM; IF NOT, YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY!.
