2025 Prophecies Unveiled

What to expect in the next 5 years.

Unlike the yearly religious prophecies based on speculation, superstition, and 12 calendar month pressure, here is what you should expect in the next 5 years globally. If you are looking to innovate, make a difference, or build a business, this does not only tell you what will happen but also where you should put your attention. What you are about to read is based on our collective history, scientific evidence, and spiritual insight. 

In the vast canvas of the night sky, there's a slow dance that the Earth performs, shifting its axis over millennia in what astronomers call the precession of the equinoxes. Imagine this: the Earth's axis wobbles like a spinning top, completing one full cycle every 25,772 years. This movement changes which constellation the sun rises in at the vernal equinox, marking the start of spring. We're currently moving from the Age of Pisces, an era symbolized by faith, sacrifice, and spiritual exploration, into the Age of Aquarius, heralding themes of innovation, freedom, and humanity.

This transition, which I've observed both as an educator and a dreamer, resonates deeply with the changes we're witnessing in Africa and globally. The Age of Pisces has been about looking inward, into the mysteries of the soul, while Aquarius invites us to look outward, to connect, innovate, and elevate collective consciousness.

At Trans4me Africa, we've embraced this shift by creating a digital apprenticeship ecosystem that not only closes educational gaps but also elevates the consciousness of our youth. We're empowering Africans to become not just job seekers but job creators, aligning with the Aquarian ideals of self-reliance, innovation, and community.

Looking Ahead: 2025 - 2030

As we step further into this new age, here's what I predict we might see:

1. Technological Leaps: Artificial Intelligence will become more ingrained in our daily lives, much like how Trans4me Africa uses AI to personalize learning paths for our apprentices. 

2. Quantum computing might solve problems we currently deem unsolvable, and space exploration could see significant human milestones.

3. Sustainability and Green Tech: There will be a surge in green technologies. We at Trans4me Africa have begun this journey by teaching sustainable skills, preparing our youth for a world that values environmental consciousness.

4. Cultural and Social Evolution: The push for equality, inclusion, and social justice will intensify. We're already seeing this in our programs, focusing on inclusivity, ensuring that no one is left behind in Africa's digital and educational revolution.

5. Education Transformation: Education will evolve beyond traditional classrooms. Trans4me Africa is at the forefront, offering learning that adapts to the individual, preparing them for a future where adaptability is key.

6. Health and Wellness: Personalized medicine will become more accessible, and mental health will gain the attention it deserves. Our platform includes modules on well-being, and understanding the holistic development of our apprentices.

7. Economic and Political Shifts: New economic models might emerge, potentially including universal basic income or circular economies. Trans4me Africa aims to be a catalyst in this space by fostering entrepreneurship that aligns with these new paradigms.

8. Global Connectivity and Governance: We'll see a move towards more global cooperation, perhaps in response to shared challenges like climate change. Trans4me Africa is building a network that transcends borders, fostering a community of innovators and leaders.

9. A New Consciousness: There will be a shift towards understanding our interconnectedness, both with each other and with nature. This is central to our ethos at Trans4me Africa, where we believe in elevating consciousness through education.

As we navigate these changes, my prediction is not just about technology or policy but about the human spirit's capacity to evolve. Trans4me Africa stands as both a participant and a beacon in this era of enlightenment, where education, innovation, and community can transform lives and redefine our world. Let's embrace this Aquarian dawn together, with hope, action, and an unwavering commitment to progress.

Poverty Is Not Senselessness: A Call for Caution Amidst the Struggle for Daily Bread

Recent events in Nigeria have underscored the harsh realities of poverty, with the tragic stampede during a food distribution program serving as a poignant reminder of the desperation faced by millions. While survival is a daily battle for many, it is vital to approach this struggle with caution and responsibility. Poverty, though challenging, is not synonymous with senselessness.


Millions of Nigerians live below the poverty line, trapped in a cycle of deprivation driven by inflation, unemployment, and systemic inequalities. Access to basic needs like food and clean water remains a constant challenge. Charitable food distributions offer hope, but the chaos often accompanying these events highlights the need for better organization and systemic interventions. Stampedes and similar tragedies are preventable with proper planning, emphasizing the importance of systemic changes to address root causes while ensuring immediate relief efforts are safe and effective.

The pursuit of daily bread must balance caution and order. Organizers of relief programs should collaborate with local authorities, implement crowd control measures, and communicate clearly. Beneficiaries must also adhere to guidelines, avoid overcrowding, and support localized interventions that reduce risks. Addressing immediate hunger is crucial, but eradicating poverty requires sustained efforts. Governments, private organizations, and civil society must work together to create sustainable jobs, improve social welfare, and strengthen community networks. Awareness campaigns about safety during public events can also prevent future tragedies.


"Poverty is a societal challenge demanding empathy and structured solutions. The recent stampede is a wake-up call to address immediate needs with care and pursue systemic reforms. By prioritizing life, dignity, and community, we can foster a culture of caution and compassion, proving that even amidst poverty, humanity can prevail.”

Merry Christmas Our Dear Readers

 December in Abuja brings with it the harmattan breeze and the rush of shoppers navigating through Abuja markets. Some streets light up with strings of glittering decorations, and carol melodies waft from churches and homes alike. It’s the season of cheer, but for many in Nigeria’s capital, the Christmas wishlist extends beyond the usual trappings of merriment. It reflects the times we live in – shaped by economic challenges, social realities, and collective hopes.

For some, Christmas wishes center on the essentials: “All I want for Christmas is a stable power supply.” In a city where sometimes generators could hum louder than hymns, consistent electricity feels like a luxury. Imagine celebrating Christmas without the worry of power outages interrupting your favorite holiday movies or silencing the freezer stocked with perishable ingredients for that long-awaited family feast.

Then there are the parents. For them, it might sound like, “All I want for Christmas is the school fees for January.” With the cost of education steadily rising, the joy of the season is sometimes overshadowed by the looming pressure of next term’s bills. Yet, they soldier on, choosing to focus on the laughter of their children and the warmth of togetherness.


For many small business owners, particularly those in Wuye or Utako market, the refrain could be, “All I want for Christmas is better sales.” The festive period, though bustling, doesn’t always translate into profit margins that make up for the year’s struggles. Inflation and reduced purchasing power mean that even the most dedicated customers are cutting back.

And let’s not forget the young people of Abuja – ambitious, creative, and full of dreams. Their Christmas wish? “Opportunities.” Whether it’s a good-paying job, a breakthrough in their startup, or simply access to a reliable internet connection to fuel their hustle, the youth are yearning for platforms that enable them to thrive.


Amidst these practical desires, there’s also the intangible: peace, security, and a sense of community. “All I want for Christmas is a safer neighbourhood,” some might say, as stories of insecurity cast a shadow over the holiday cheer. The wish for a peaceful celebration resonates deeply, especially for families who have been affected by the year’s challenges.


Yet, despite the hurdles, Abuja’s spirit remains unbroken. In every corner, you’ll find resilience. Friends pooling resources to organize modest yet joyous parties. Churches and wellwishers extend charity drives to the less privileged. Abuja, like Nigeria at large, knows how to celebrate even in lean times.

So, as we reflect on what we want for Christmas this year, perhaps the greatest gift we can give each other is kindness. Kindness in the form of a shared meal, a paid-up transport fare for someone short of change, or even a simple “Merry Christmas” said with genuine warmth.



Because at the heart of it, Christmas is not just about what we get, but what we give. And if Abuja’s streets are anything to go by, there’s still plenty of love, hope, and generosity to go around. May your Christmas wishes, whatever they are, come true – and may your heart find joy, no matter the season’s challenges.

Second-Order Thinking: Go Beyond the Obvious



Second-order thinking is a cognitive process that extends beyond immediate consequences to explore long-term implications and potential side effects. It is a form of critical thinking that moves past surface-level analysis to examine deeper underlying causes and outcomes.

Key Characteristics of Second-Order Thinking

Second-order thinking involves foresight—the ability to anticipate future consequences, systems thinking that considers how different elements of a system interconnect, critical analysis for evaluating information and assumptions, and a long-term perspective that weighs broader implications. This approach is essential for effective decision-making and problem-solving, allowing individuals to avoid unintended negative outcomes and make more informed choices.

Applications in Various Fields

Second-order thinking has broad applications across numerous fields:

Business and Leadership – It supports strategic planning by considering long-term impacts, risk management through identifying potential pitfalls, change management by understanding the full context of organizational shifts, and leadership development by fostering critical and strategic thinking skills.

Policy Making – In policy evaluation, second-order thinking helps assess unintended consequences and analyze how policies interact with societal factors. It aids long-term planning to address immediate and future needs comprehensively.

Education – In curriculum design, it emphasizes long-term educational goals. For teaching, it enhances students’ critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. It also evaluates the potential consequences of educational reforms to ensure they align with lasting educational needs.

Personal Development – Second-order thinking is invaluable for goal setting, balancing short-term and long-term objectives, decision-making that considers potential consequences, and problem-solving by identifying root causes.

Environmental Issues – This thinking is crucial for sustainability, as it evaluates the long-term impacts of human actions, climate change by understanding complex factor interactions, and conservation through strategies for preserving biodiversity.

Examples of Second-Order Thinking

Businesses that anticipate market trends and adjust strategies, consider potential side effects of products before launch, and develop long-term strategic plans showcase second-order thinking. On a personal level, it includes career planning that accounts for long-term goals, financial planning with long-term implications of investments, and relationship dynamics that aim for lasting solutions.

In social and political spheres, second-order thinking is present in policy analysis, evaluating unintended consequences, global strategy that considers interconnected issues, and social movements that address deep-rooted problems.

Techniques to Develop Second-Order Thinking Skills

Developing second-order thinking requires a shift in mindset and deliberate practice. Useful techniques include:

Cognitive Tools – Scenario planning to visualize different future outcomes, systems thinking to see how parts of a system influence each other, mind mapping for identifying relationships, and decision trees to weigh decision paths.

Mindset and Habits – Cultivating curiosity, staying open-minded, practicing mindfulness, delaying judgment to consider all factors, and seeking feedback for diverse perspectives are key.

Learning and Development – Reading widely, taking relevant courses, joining discussion groups, and seeking mentorship help build these skills.

Challenges in Developing Second-Order Thinking

Developing these skills is not without obstacles. A societal focus on short-term results and cognitive biases that favor quick judgments hinder the shift to long-term thinking. The complexity of interconnected systems and the uncertainty of future outcomes add to the difficulty. Emotional biases can also cloud rational thought.

To overcome these challenges, cultivate curiosity, practice mindfulness, seek diverse viewpoints, challenge personal assumptions, and adopt systems thinking.

Challenges in Implementation

Applying second-order thinking is often impeded by certain factors:

Organizational Culture – Companies with a short-term focus, risk aversion, or rigid hierarchical structures may struggle with fostering second-order thinking.

Individual Factors – Cognitive shortcuts and emotional biases can restrict critical thinking, and time constraints may limit deep analysis.

Environmental Factors – The complexity of interconnected systems and the unpredictability of future scenarios make long-term planning difficult. Adapting to changing circumstances also challenges sustained second-order thinking.

Strategies for Overcoming Implementation Challenges

Organizations should encourage a learning culture that values experimentation, open communication, and collaboration to foster second-order thinking. Investing in training and providing tools like scenario planning can aid in visualizing complex relationships. Practicing mindfulness and self-awareness helps recognize emotional influences and maintain focus.

Applying Second-Order Thinking in Business

Second-order thinking is especially valuable in business, where decisions often carry long-term consequences:

Strategic Planning – Businesses that anticipate market trends, considering economic, social, and technological factors, make informed decisions about development and resource allocation.

Risk Management – Identifying potential risks and devising contingency plans prevent negative outcomes.

Product Development – Understanding deeper customer needs and unintended consequences of new products strengthens strategic approaches.

Human Resources – Second-order thinking aids in assessing long-term implications of hiring and nurturing a healthy organizational culture.

Marketing and Sales – Customer acquisition and brand reputation decisions benefit from considering their long-term impact.

Financial Management – Weighing risks and returns of investments and understanding cost-benefit analysis are essential for sustainable growth.

By embedding second-order thinking into business strategies, companies can better manage risks and make decisions that support long-term success. The advantages extend beyond business to personal growth, policy, and societal advancement, proving the value of this deeper level of critical thinking in our complex world.

Wuye Police Holds Security Meeting With Residents



The Wuye Division police, in collaboration with estate representatives, local authorities and residents, held a crucial security meeting on 17th October 2024 to address growing security concerns in the district. The gathering was aimed at identifying solutions to improve safety and foster collaboration between the community and law enforcement.

One of the significant discussions focused on the hiring of domestic staff. Residents were advised to employ only those from reputable sources, as unverified staff could unintentionally become informants for criminal groups. It was stressed that background checks should be a mandatory part of the hiring process, helping to mitigate potential risks.

The meeting also stressed the importance of engaging well-trained security personnel. Estates were encouraged to employ recognized security teams or vigilantes, as their expertise is vital for providing effective protection. Having fully trained guards capable of handling threats was highlighted as a critical security measure.

Moreover, a serious concern was raised about security guards entertaining unknown visitors while on duty. Residents were urged to ensure that security protocols are strictly followed discouraging unnecessary interaction with strangers, which could compromise estate security.

To improve surveillance, the meeting concluded that all estates must install CCTV cameras, particularly around the perimeter and in common walkways. This will not only deter potential criminals but also provide vital footage in case of any incidents.

Additionally, it was decided that security checks for all vehicles entering estates should be a standard practice. Both residents and visitors must be subjected to these checks, with records kept of all entries. This will help estates maintain control over who has access to their premises.

The Wuye Division police assured residents that they would continue with routine patrols throughout the district. They urged everyone to report any suspicious activity using the following emergency contact numbers: DPO: 0806 907 0309, Station Officer: 0806 932 8044

Another important topic raised during the meeting was the implementation of police checkpoints, a proposal that received strong support. These checkpoints will enhance police presence and provide an additional layer of security for residents.

To further strengthen security, residents were encouraged to form a community security committee that will work in collaboration with the police. A dedicated WhatsApp group will also be created to allow for real-time communication, ensuring swift responses to security concerns.

Finally, the meeting highlighted the risks associated with unknown vehicles parking near estate gates and the presence of street vendors near residences. Residents were urged to discourage both practices, as they could potentially provide criminals with critical information about the estates.

The meeting ended with a shared commitment from residents and the police to enhance security measures across the Wuye district. With greater collaboration and adherence to these recommendations, Wuye is set to become a safer and more secure community for all.

Wuye-Dakibiu Bridge: A Call for Collective Action

 


The story of the Wuye-Dakibiu link bridge is one of resilience and, unfortunately, repeated frustration. Originally built by the very residents who depend on it, this crucial artery connecting communities has sadly succumbed to disrepair, leaving residents in limbo.

While the recent initiative by a developer to spearhead repairs and garner some community contributions is commendable, it's a mere bandage on a gaping wound. This bridge, a vital link for countless residents, necessitates a more comprehensive and sustainable solution.

Therefore, we must raise our voices and call upon the Minister for the FCT to take immediate and decisive action. Here's why:

  • The bridge is more than just a structure; it's a lifeline. It connects residents to essential services, workplaces, and educational institutions. Its continued disrepair significantly impacts their daily lives and livelihoods.
  • The burden of responsibility shouldn't solely fall on residents and developers. This bridge serves a larger purpose within the broader infrastructure network, and its repair necessitates the active involvement of the authorities responsible for its upkeep and maintenance.
  • Investing in the bridge demonstrates a commitment to the well-being of the community. By prioritizing its repair, the Minister can send a powerful message that the needs of Wuye residents are recognized and valued.

We urge the Minister for the FCT to:

  • Allocate the necessary resources for a complete and long-lasting repair of the Wuye-Dakibiu bridge.
  • Work collaboratively with the community and developers to ensure a transparent and efficient repair process.
  • Develop a long-term maintenance plan to prevent future neglect and ensure the bridge serves the community for generations to come.

The Wuye-Dakibiu bridge is more than just concrete and steel; it represents the spirit and resilience of the community. Let us not allow this essential link to crumble further. Together, through collective action and the support of the Minister for the FCT, we can rebuild this bridge and bridge the gap between frustration and progress.

Brain Buzz - The Boy at the Back of the Class, by Onjali Q. Raúf

 “A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest.”

– C.S. Lewis


In this age of technology and the varied distractions that come with it, it seems a daunting task for young children to find the time to be captivated by the world of books. They are bombarded with social media activities - appropriate or inappropriate- or distracted by games and TV shows. And as a result, you wonder why it’s a chore to engage them in a world of books.


Conversing with an 11-year-old student of mine on the joy derived from reading books was a bit incomprehensible, as he would only read books as recommended by the teacher. He could not see what could be ‘joy-giving in a pile of papers. However, with a little encouragement, his mom took him on an adventure to the @tabithaskids, a fantastic bookstore where you can just get lost in a world of your own imagination. He picked a few attractive titles and began an exciting journey.


One of the books he got from the bookstore was titled The Boy at the Back of the Class, by Onjali Q. Raúf. This book fits what C.S Lewis said about children’s books. As my young student read the book, you could tell it was a book to have, and he passed it on to me when he was done. And I was enthralled. It is indeed a page-turner.


The Boy at the Back of the Class, by Onjali Q. Raúf


Mrs. Khan’s classroom has an empty seat at the back of the class which was later occupied by nine-year-old Ahmet, a Syrian refugee. His presence sparked a sense of curiosity among his classmates as everyone wanted to know about the boy at the back of the class. Who was he? Who are his parents? Where did he even come from? Questions everywhere!


The children’s curiosity was later satisfied when they found out he fled the war in Syria, without his mother, father, and sister. And as a result, a group of his classmates decided to come up with the Greatest Idea to reunite Ahmet with his family. They felt like they were special agents sent on an assignment by the government!


The Boy at the Back of the Class talks about friendship that knows no borders. It’s a story about a little kindness that goes a long way. And in this fascinating book, the author used humour to remind us of the power of kind humans in showcasing the effect of the refugee crisis, as well as treating one another right. It’s a beautiful story that I recommend to every child and adult. Believe me, it will be worth your time.

This book has opened my 11-year-old student to a world he is ready to interact with, and I am super glad!

Continued Lack Of Recreational Spot In Our Wuye Community - By Dri Babz

It is no news that Wuye community don’t have a place to relax and have fun, that is really not cool and it makes human relation harder, no place for the youths and elderly to meet and get acquainted, the only place the youths do meet is at the Wuye mountain which Saturday, that is just once in a week, we can ignore all this in any form but it’s important and is something we all need to look into. 

We can start by getting through to the community leader and the top heads to do something about this, it’s not a difficult task, It’s something everyone will benefit from if the necessary efforts are put in place. It’s really frustrating to go outside the community to relax or a friend comes over and you can’t take him/her out within the community, this really looks like a small problem but it’s really a big one, I hope this will get to the people that need to see this.

I do like to get your thoughts on this.

Developing Motor Skills - Brain Buzz Article

Developing Motor Skills 


by Ms. Patience 


Over the years, I’ve worked with pre-teens, and I have come to observe a few of them struggle with simple activities, which shouldn’t pose a challenge to them. Then I realized that their gross and fine motor skills were not developed early.


Early childhood development includes acquiring fine and gross motor skills. While both these skills involve movement, they do have differences.

 

So what are these skills?

Fine motor skills involve the movement of the smaller muscle group in children’s hands, fingers, and wrists while Gross motor skills involve the movement of the larger muscle group like the arms and legs. It’s these larger muscle groups that allow babies to sit up, turn over, crawl, and ultimately walk.

 

Both types of motor skills enable children to become more independent.

 

Fine motor skills are especially important because the ability to use the smaller muscles in the hand allows children to perform self-care tasks without assistance.

 

To help your child develop his/her gross and fine motor skills, there are activities you can schedule to build them developmentally. This is why schools have Early Years sections. Believe me, they are not ‘playing’, like most people think. Serious learning is taking place. A child’s development begins here.

 

Babies and toddlers develop fine and gross motor skills at their own pace. Some children develop some skills earlier than others and that’s perfectly normal. Children usually begin to attain these skills as early as one ore two months old and continue to learn additional skills through preschool and primary school.

 

According to early childhood development experts, the most important fine motor skills children need to develop include the following:

 

·      The Palmar Arches which allows the palms to curl inwards. Strengthening these helps coordinate the movement of the fingers, which is needed for writing, unbuttoning clothes, and gripping.

·      Wrist stability develops by early school years. It allows children to move their fingers with strength and control.

·      Skilled side of the hand is the index finger, and other fingers together for precision grasping

·      Bilateral hand skills permit the coordination of both hands at the same time

·      Scissor skill develops by age four and teaches hand strength and eye coordination.

 

It looked like past generations are tough and sturdy because of the activities they did growing up. Activities such as climbing trees, playing ten-ten, suwe (hopscotch), Ludo, rolling tires, cooking with flowers, playing with clay, catapulting, and even football. It didn’t seem like it but we were learning as we played. However, with the advent of the Internet, most kids today are stuck indoors, sitting for hours playing Fortnite or Tik Toking. Nothing wrong with these but access to the technology should be limited for children in growing years. Let children play, they learn in the process, thereby developing themselves.

COVID-19 and Online Learning


by Ms Patience

 

Limit your child’s cellphones and tablets until their schoolwork is done so that it can receive their undivided attention. Apps, games, and messaging features are fun, but they can also be distracting. Having a dedicated device is ideal for optimum online learning.

 

Children achieve their best work in a quiet, comfortable, and dedicate space. Avoid rooms where their games and TV are set up. Remember that children will make use of this space for many hours each day, so watch out for comfort and posture.

Online learning requires proper observation. Ensure they’re taking notes or asking questions at the end of a lesson. This may require a lot of effort as a parent but it’s important to confirm that your child is indeed learning. If there are any issues contact the teacher. 

Make sure your kids take plenty of breaks in order to get physical activity and time away from screens. Set alarms similar to those they would encounter at school and encourage them to get up, get some fresh air, go for a walk or bike ride, or have a snack so that they are not sedentary for the entire day.

In-person interaction is ideal for kids, so sit your children down for face-to-face conversations about screen time. To give them ownership, discuss how much time they think is reasonable to spend online and make a “contract” committing to goals for on-screen vs. off-screen hours.

Remember that you’re not alone on this journey. Check-in with other parents to see what they’ve found effective or to ask if they need help. Share your concerns and useful hints. If you need contact information for other parents or resources, reach out to the PTA or your child’s school. It is important that we all work together as a community for the good of our children and families.
