BOOK REVIEW BY NORMAN VINCENT PEALE - THE POWER OF THE PLUS FACTOR….The Little Extra That Makes You A Winner

I am sure that most of us who have not read the book might not have heard anything about the Plus factor. It is not an abstract, farfetched concept like some would think, however, it is the ‘ extraness ’ that we see in certain people. Such people set higher goals for themselves and they often achieve them. They have the ability to persist in the spite of difficulties. These people are not superior beings and like them one could develop the Plus facto r which can be found within oneself . In as much as each of us have the Plus factor, however, it is sated deep within us and we need to activate it as it does not come naturally out of us. The first step to activate the Plus factor is to be a creative dreamer. This dream is quite different from the shadowy images that flicker our imaginations while we s leep , rather it is the indistinct hope, the far – off visions , the first faint stirring of the imagination that come when we try to plan something worthwhile. These dreams could be ...

The politics of the Chibok girls?

Sometime last year, 15th April, 2014 to be precise, there was hula hala everywhere, the social media went agog, and internet was set ablaze, newspaper sand everywhere had one major discussion, the abduction of the Chibok girls.   Before they gained the famous or rather infamous title Chibok girls, they were hitherto normal secondary school girls, who were preparing to write their senior secondary school examination. Like all unsuspecting preys, they never imagined that they would fall so easily to the hands of their predators.  They girls were abducted under mysterious circumstances in the village of Chibok in Bornu state, Nigeria by the extremist Islamic group Boko Haram.
