Landing a knockout punch is the ultimate dream for anyone stepping into the boxing ring. Start by relaxing your knees and adopting the classic boxing position, with one foot slightly in front of the other. This stance sets the foundation for generating maximum torque and power from your hips as you twist into the punch. To maximize your potential, prioritize maintaining a relaxed yet controlled state as you throw your punch. Train and refine every aspect of your punch, from footwork and hip movement to the decisive impact of your strike.
Rivian Automotive Inc.’s missteps last week when it followed strong production and delivery numbers with news of a dilutive $1.5 billion convertible debt offering was “another gut punch to investors,” according to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.

The Federal Government through the Association of Power Generation Companies has grown the power capacity of the national grid from 13, 000megawatts recorded a few years ago to about 14,000 MW. APGC’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Joy Ogaji, while speaking with The PUNCH on the sideline of the Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria’s 2023 annual international strategic conference last week Thursday, said electricity generation capacity to the national grid has increased to almost 14,000MW. “The national grid now has an installed power generation capacity of about 14, 000 megawatts, and this was made possible due to the Zungeru plant that came on stream this year,” she said, adding that it was an opportunity for interested investors to partner with the Gencos. The company had offered a fee of $700m per year for a period of 30 years to operate the plant. Despite the 14,000MW claim by Ojagi, checks by The PUNCH on the records of the Nigerian Electricity System Operator showed that the latest on-grid peak power generation as of Saturday, was 4,803.60 MW.
At certain levels of education, for example, admissions are offered from within and outside states of origin to reflect federal character. Admissions to schools in other states as is the case of the 110 federal government colleges also known as unity schools, are based on quota system. This is same with federal ministers who are meant to be ministers of the whole country and not just of their respective states. Harnessing the gains in our differences to truly live out the professed ‘unity in diversity’ mantra has wide-ranging developmental and progressive benefits for Nigeria, and mutual relationship for all Nigerians. Achieving this goes a long way to forge harmonious entity for a lasting national peace, national love and national unity that transcends religion, state of origin, tribe and ethnicity, to realise Nigeria of our dream.

A sales strategy that directly links businesses with the people will surely be always relevant, focused and very effective. With people-relationship, products and services will command credibility, immediate adoption and of course, loyalty (short and long terms). The strategy for choosing “where to play, how to play and how to win” must be coherently articulated, doable and translated to actionable steps that deliver sustainable success. Sales and other departments in companies are siloed and “crying” for an urgent need for internal collaboration in order to achieve elusive progress. They can substantially contribute to the design of new products and services as well as forge acceptance and patronage.

His Sallust was a British spy who was on the run, his plane having been shot down in Nazi Germany. I followed sleeplessly as Sallust ran through disguises and danger as he worked to save himself and the woman he hoped to rescue. And then I would learn that it is not only spies but ordinary people who, more out of greed than desperation, take dastardly risks. It is how a man becomes a governor and in front of everyone, converts himself into the richest man in the state. Keep in mind that the questions about Tinubu’s character first surfaced nearly 25 years ago when he ran for governor.
