Meet Barbie Thomas - The Armless Body Builder ..So Inspiring!
One day, as I was travelling with my friend, a male beggar with just one arm came up to beg for arms. I was going to donate some money to him when my friend held me back and turned to the young man asking, "Why are you begging?" the man replied, "because I have one arm."
After series of questions and not a tangible answer from the beggar, my friend then told him to go home and think of what he could do with one arm to earn himself some little income no matter how meager as that would be better than begging for arms but the man insisted there's nothing he could possibly do to make an income.
But that isn't the case here. The article you're about to read is that of an inspiring 37 years old American woman - Barbie Thomas, who lost her both arms to a terrible electrical accident as a toddler yet, never gave up on pursuing her dream of being a body builder.
This exciting lady says she can do everything a complete human can do only that she uses her feet.
She said,
"I can do every other thing like brushing my teeth, making dinner, texting, shopping, taking milk out of the fridge, putting on makeup and even driving. I'd say to anyone, you can do whatever you put your mind to. The only limitations are the ones you put on yourself. Everyone has limitations and handicaps in some way or another - mine are more visible than yours maybe."
"I used to read about all the fitness competitors in magazines - and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I wanted to be like them and do the things they were doing. I thought it was amazing."
After years of doubting if she'd be able to physically meet up with the requirements in sporting activities, Barbie decided to take a bold step.
"I finally called the locale chairperson and talked to him about it; and he gave me the green light.
So in 2003 I entered my first fitness competition and loved it. Now it's in my blood and I can't live without it.
Barbie lost her arms at the age of two when she climbed an electrical transformer and grabbed the wires. The electricity shock scorched from her arms down to the bones and turned them into something like charcoal.
"The doctor said I wouldn't live - and if I did live, I'd probably be a vegetable, but God had a different plan for me; I'm still here, healthy, and alive and well."
Texting friends with her toes
"My first few fitness competitions I did get some funny looks. I'm sure people were wondering what I thought I was doing up there. Obviously it's a physique competition and I'm missing part of my physique and I don't have the symmetry of what they are looking for.""But after I did my routine for the first time, people realised that I was an athlete just like the rest of them - and I did belong up there.""I don't know why they go as crazy as they do for me; maybe its something different."
Applying make-ups
Cooking
So far, Barbie's greatest body building achievements came back in 2012 when she came fifth in a competition of six competitors.She added;
"It was actually the first time I placed ahead of people - and that was a big milestone for me. Even though I still was fifth place, I was happy I placed ahead of someone - someone who actually has 2 arms and their whole body."
Taking milk from the fridge
Sometimes I have to sit on the floor or sometimes I have to sit on the counter - but its still the same stuff you do. The mind is a really very powerful thing and so is attitude - and if you keep a really positive attitude and believe in yourself and believe that you can - then anything is possible."
Now, at the beginning of this article, I made reference of this lady with one arm who opted to beg on the streets. This article is for everyone. Some people are physically able but disabled in the mind.
Talk later!

ASUP Strike: MASSOB Demands Re-Opening Of Polytechnics, COEs This Month (June 2014)
The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has demanded an immediate re-opening of polytechnics and colleges of education closed because of the strike by academic staff. -
In a statement by its National Director of Information, Mr. Uchenna Madu, MASSOB condemned what it called the insensitivity and callousness of Nigeria’s Federal Government in handling the strike, which has been on for more than eight months.
Members of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics and College of Education Academic Staff Union had been on strike since September and December 2013 respectively.
Madu said, “The closures of the polytechnics and colleges of education have grossly affected the academic and moral growth of their students. This is not healthy for the future of our children who are tomorrow’s leaders.”
He said it was saddening that the closure of the institutions has led some female students into prostitution, commercial sales/factory work and petty trading while some male students have been introduced to criminal activities, commercial motorcycle business and internet fraud.
He further said that those who could not find anything to do have been introduced to smoking and drinking.
“How can President Goodluck Jonathan win next year’s election without the support and votes of the students? Why must the President’s wife keep quiet when millions of students are on the street rotting away with their brains?
“We demand that government should be serious with a good sense of sensitivity in their dialogue with leadership of ASUP/COEASU now.
“MASSOB demands that polytechnics and colleges of education shall be re-opened next month (June 2014) for academic activities. The future of our youths is bleak without education. No nature gambles with the education of her youths,” the statement said.
MASSOB also condemned the police disruption of the peaceful protest of the students of the polytechnics and colleges of education on Wednesday in Lagos.
“The students are not happy with the government. Some Nigeria policemen are primitive in the discharge of their duties. Tear gas and live bullets are not to be applied against the students,” Madu said.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, and Colleges of Education and Academic Staff Union, COEASU, have been on eight-month and six-month strike respectively.

9 Reasons Why Nigerian Students Fail JAMB
This article was written and sent to liveschoolnews.com.ng by Osabo. A 100 level Student of English Education at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK)
It is not an unknown fact that some Nigerian students after their JAMB examination will end up scoring zero over 400.
Two years ago (2012) when I wrote my first JAMB examination, I had this feeling that I was going to smash the exam with a high grade like at least 350 over 400 but finally I found myself scoring 192 over 400. But I thanked Almighty God for making me among the lucky candidates that saw their results. Some of my colleagues didn’t even see their results and others scored 150 over 400 while others were even below that. So, from experience I will say nine of the reasons why we fail JAMB in this country are:
1: Fear: According to H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” Honestly I was afraid then, the fear of JAMB made me think I was going into a do or die affair. I could also remember that the very day of the examination it took me about 10 minutes before I could even start shading some answers all because of fear of what the outcome of the exam might be. So I believe fear contributed to my failure. So my fellow students be bold, courageous and never think of failure in your JAMB examination. JAMB is just like any normal examination, even if very tricky.
2. JAMB syllabus: It might sound funny but believe me, JAMB follows some syllabus topics in setting their examination questions. My advice here is that you should adhere to JAMB syllabus because that is where their questions are coming from.
3. Power of JAMB past questions: My dear colleagues never neglect the power of past question papers. They reveal some tips and sample questions on what you will be facing in your examination. After the examination that day, some of my friends that wrote theirs about four years ago, told me that about 20 questions each came out from JAMB past questions. I was shocked but no second chance for an amendment.
4. Miracle centre believe it or not: This is an open confession, the fear of failing made me to get some A,B,C,D and E from a lady sitting beside me that very day. She registered in a miracle centre. I am very sure my score would have been better than 192 if I had not copied from that girl. After the examination, she showed me the answer her boyfriend sent to her but to my greatest surprise the English language paper type is A but mine is B. Unfortunately to me I carried my Use of English over, so BE CAREFUL.
5: Invigilators of nowadays: Invigilators in some centres usually frustrate students to pay or there will be no communication inside the examination hall. For instance I can remember that day, an invigilator was said to have asked to be paid N2,500 by each candidate to allow them share and communicate with each other but if you fail to pay automatically you will become No 1 Suspect in the hall. They will try anything possible to make you fail unless God saves you.
6: Late coming: Yes, I will advice you all to be at your centre one hour before the examination starts. Try as much as you can to be the first student at your centre. Coming late to any examination will make you feel that you have lost it all; not only lost but you will be disorganised.
7. Breakfast: Yes, we know that a hungry man is an angry man. Before leaving in the morning please take something; at least one cup of coffee or tea with bread will be nice to hold you. Sometimes, your exam will even start later than planned.
8. Long distance: The possibility of a student living in Nasarawa State (Doma) to meet up with an examination that will start around 9.00am in the FCT, Abuja, is just 40/100 because anything can happen. Some students will tell you that they will meet up but along the line, they will be held up along the way. The question is: What if the car breaks down on the way? (I don’t pray for such). What if you don’t locate your centre before the exam starts? The only possible solution for this is just to be in the state/local/town/village where your centre is located a day before the examination date.
9. JAMB paper type: Many students choose to change their JAMB paper during the examination. This is against the law so beware. But let’s assume your JAMB Use of English paper type is TYPE A while the EXPO you have is B do not copy it because they are of different type. Some students will quickly get EXPO from their colleagues without checking the paper type and they will copy it.

ASUP Strike: Poly Students Continue Protest, Slaughters Cow (Photos)
Students of Nigeria Polytechnics and College of Education, yesterday, continue their protest to air their grievrances over the failure of government to meet the demands of the striking Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU), which had led to closure of the institutions nationwide.
Education9ja grapevine gathered that, Nigerian policemen stood guard at Yaba in Lagos as students of Nigerian Polytechnics accross Nigeria continued their protest.
The students commenced the day by slaughtering their cow that was seized by the police yesterday during an unprovoked attack and molestation at the Adekunle bus stop by members of the Nigerian police.
The students say eating on the ASUP/COEASU branded cow was their own way of marking May 29, Nigeria’s ruling party’s self-appointed “Democracy Day”.
Apart from disrupting their protest yesterday, the students said one of them was shot on the arm.
At the convening today, twelve police vans were seen watching on the restive students near WAEC bus stop alone while other vans marked Rapid Response Squad vans were stationed at other junctions in the vicinity.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, and Colleges of Education and Academic Staff Union, COEASU, have been on eight-month and six-month strike respectively

Rick Ross Stamps New Tattoo On His Face, "Rich Forever"!
The large American rapper has upped the tattoo game by cresting it on his face - just below his lips.
Rick Ross who is worth an estimated $30million took posted photos on his instagram account showing off the newly crested tattoo which reads, "Rich Forever".
The controversial tattoo has attracted lots of arguments to which one of his fans replied,
“He’s not rich enough that he doesn’t have to worry about money for the rest of his life. The way he spends it he may be broke soon…the life of a rapper is short lived.”I'm just wondering what Dr Dre will do having it that he just sold his signature brand "Beats by Dre" to Apple for $3billion. Ooops..

Ladies, Here Are The 10 Qualities You Should Look For In A Man
10 Qualities Of A Man Worthy To Date:
We’ve had several
cases, ladies saying men are the same,
others say they’re all
dogs, others say they shouldn’t be
trusted. Yeah we men have
heard all this but that doesn’t make us
all the same, I know
finding the right man is so hard since
most men now days
don’t know what they want. So, I listed
down the qualities that a real man has
to guide you ladies to choose right:
1. He is honest – about who he is and
what he has done in his
life.
2. He speaks up – even if it is to say
things others don’t want to hear.
3. He is focused on progress.
4. He Loves his family and wants to
protect them from harm.
This does not have to involve fighting
anyone.
5. He has a true purpose – one that
hopefully contributes to the well being
of others.
6. He thrives not in competition, but in
cooperation.
Competition is based on winners and
losers, placing value in it simply makes
losers feel less of themselves and
makes
winners buy into the temporary
delusion that they are better
than others.
7. He is A Devoted fathers not
deadbeat dads
8. He Love and Believes In God
9. He Respects women and never man-
handles them.
10. He Moves away from sin.
