Of a truth,  Emmanuella Asu is an embodiment of beauty with brains. She emerged as the Classic Queen International top model 2023. In this chat with us, she shared her challenges and success secrets with us. Excerpts…

  

Congratulations on your emergence as the Classic Queen international top model, how do you feel about being the runner-up 

At first, I wasn’t exactly happy about it, but then I realized that being the 2nd runner-up doesn’t change the fact that I’m also a Queen, and I have my role to play. So I’m elated.

How did you hear about the pageantry and what informed you to contest?

My manager told me about it but I had encouragement from someone special (Charles)to contest.

What were the challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?

It’s been three years since I last contested in a pageant. So I almost backed out because I was in a different location and the requirements as well. But I never back down. So I spoke to a couple of people and as God would have it preparations were made and here I am today.

What stands you out among your peers and what’s the secret of your success?

A lot of my peers are afraid of failing but I believe that “True Success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful “Paul Sweeney and that’s what keeps me pushing, I never give up.

what’s your take on the pageant and what’s your proposed project as beauty queen?

It’s a great platform and I feel honored to be part of the organization. I have lots of projects I might not be able to accomplish all but I believe most would be fulfilled, I plan on working with the government of Cross River State to take as many street children as possible, off the streets, which is titled OTSCOTS(Operation take the streets children off the streets). My second project is on youth skill acquisition/Agriculture. My Third project would be projecting Cross River State and Nigeria at large as a tourist State and Country by traveling to different places while doing documentaries…

You Are More Successful Than You Think” By Prudent Ludidi

You Are More Successful Than You Think” By Prudent Ludidi

 

There’s the truth that I believe has the power to transform your life. A truth that can shift your perspective, boost your confidence, and propel you forward. That truth is: you are more successful than you think.

We often measure success by external standards. We compare ourselves to others, focusing on their achievements and accomplishments. We forget that success is a personal journey, unique to each of us.

You see, success isn’t just about achieving grand goals or reaching milestones. Success is about progress, growth, and perseverance. It’s about showing up every day, putting in the work, and striving to be better.

Think about it. You wake up every morning, ready to face another day. You tackle challenges, overcome obstacles, and push through difficulties. You learn, adapt, and evolve. That’s success.

You’ve made it through tough times, difficult conversations, and uncertain situations. You’ve navigated uncharted territories, taken risks, and stepped outside your comfort zone. That’s success.

You’ve built relationships, formed connections, and touched lives. You’ve made a difference, no matter how small it may seem. That’s success.

You Are More Successful Than You Think" By Prudent Ludidi

But often, we downplay our achievements. We dismiss our progress, focusing on what’s still to be done. We compare our behind-the-scenes moments to everyone else’s highlight reels.

Stop doing that.

Recognize your strengths, accomplishments, and resilience. Acknowledge the late nights, early mornings, and endless efforts. Celebrate your small wins, because they add up.

You are more successful than you think.

Your success may not look like anyone else’s. It may not be flashy or Instagram-worthy. But it’s yours, and that makes it remarkable.

Don’t wait for external validation to confirm your worth. You are enough. You are worthy. You are successful.

In conclusion, remember that success is a journey, not a destination. It’s the accumulation of small victories, lessons learned, and growth experienced.

You are more successful than you think. Believe it. Own it! Celebrate it!

US-Based publisher condemns Tinubu’s inaction about Igbo killings

US-Based publisher condemns Tinubu’s inaction about Igbo killings

A veteran Nigerian journalist based in the United States of America and former Director of Strategy and Communications to President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Jackson Ude, has taken exception to the seemingly official negligence of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to the killings of innocent Igbo citizens in the South East.

The communication expert in a series of tweets on Tuesday faulted the sit-at-home policy being implemented in the region by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) describing it as unhelpful.

He wrote, “The continuous killing of Igbos by Igbos under the guise of enforcing a “sit-at-home” order to press a Biafra State, is highly irresponsible and condemned. All well meaning and patriotic Igbos must rise up in unison and condemn the wanton killing of Igbos in the South East Nigeria.

“Our people have not done any wrong going about in search of their daily bread at a time poverty and hunger has enveloped the country.

“How does it make a sense to continue denying the people you seek to protect their daily means of livelihood by enforcing a “sit-at-home” order, turn around and kill them and then claim to be protecting them from “Fulanis” or “terrorist government?”

He called on agitators for the realization of Biafra to set up a political platform rather than resorting to violence.

“The most civil way to achieve this Biafra State is to use a political party platform, elect people into the State Houses of Assembly in the South and have them all sign a referendum for a Biafra State.

“The idea that a Biafra state can be achieved through a “sit-at-home” order and the continuous killing of our people is not only childish but criminal, “he said even as he chided Tinubu for doing little or nothing to address the situation.

“And to have the Federal Government watch and allow citizens from the South East denied their rights to freedom and killed without appropriate measures to protect them is despicable, irresponsible and dangerous.

“I am also thoroughly disappointed in the lackluster attitude and the silence of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo while our people are killed by a few armed individuals.

“The bloodshed is too much and the suffering of the people who are in double jeopardy must be halted.
We must intensify the call for the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This is one way the shenanigans of the “sit-at-home” enforcers would end, ” he added.

“If this does not stop, another insurgent group might begin the protection of our people from the “sit-at-home” enforcers, a situation that might throw the whole region in serious chaos!
Igbos have suffered enough!
