Pepsi CEO: 'My employees were all crying' after Trump won

On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump added three more high-profile CEOs — Pepsi ( PEP) CEO Indra Nooyi, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Tesla (TSLA ) CEO Elon Musk — to his Strategic and Policy Forum.
The forum is meant for members to share their expertise from the private sector on how government policy impacts economic growth, job creation and productivity.
“My Administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland,” Trump said in a statement.
With Pepsi’s Nooyi on board, expect there to be plenty of discussion about some serious issues.
Just two days after the election, Nooyi, a Hillary Clinton supporter, spoke at the
Dealbook Conference.
“Is there a box of tissues here?” Nooyi responded when asked by Andrew Ross Sorkin for her reaction to the election results. “I’ll tell you, first of all, I want to congratulate President Donald Trump. Because the election is over, I think, we should mourn for those of us who supported the other side, but we have to come together and life has to go on.”
She added that she had to answer a lot of questions from both her employees.
“They were all in mourning. My employees were all crying. The question that they are asking, especially those who are not white — ‘Are we safe?’ Women are asking, ‘Are we safe?’ LGBT people are asking, ‘Are we safe?’ I never thought I would have to answer those questions.”
She continued: “So, I think that the first thing that we have to do is to assure everyone living in the United States will be safe. Nothing has changed because of this election. What we heard was election talk and we will all come together and unify as a country. So, the process of democracy happened. We just have to let life go on.”

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 '𝐒𝐄𝐗𝐘' 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 '𝐓𝐀𝐗𝐈'

I was going home yesterday after delivery at the federal housing estate, Calabar. On my way home, I saw a lady standing beside the road half-naked. She said to me while pointing her finger to her opened breasts, 'Hello, Sexy'! I know she was saying her breasts are sexy. I looked at her and shook my head in pity for her. I moved on. As I walked a little distance from her, I got to a place (old odukpani road) where you have taxi drivers passing. I saw a lady driving a taxi car slowly, and dressed in a sporty way. She called to me and said, " Hello sir, Taxi? Meaning, she was asking me if I would like to take a taxi. I smiled at her and said sure and I quickly jumped inside the car with others passengers. I also gave her a tump up and a look of ' Weldone, I am proud of you. While one lady was ready to offer her body for sex to get money, another was ready to work with her hands by driving people to their destination and earn money in a dignified way. It is a...

THE EXIT BUTTON

"Social media? Its just a space were people have fun when they're bored; to some, its a business place". Yes, that's true but you have to be very careful where you are; what you do and who you make friends with both online and offline. The devil and his agents are everywhere entering into every time and space, looking for empty vessel to fill and possess. And with social media, he is dragging and luring many young people to himself. Discipline yourself and stand guard at the door of your heart. Don't follow everyone blindly. Be selective. There are pages you shouldn't like, groups you shouldn't belong to, except you're there as an ambassador of Christ, doing what your father did in the house of a tax collector. "Its just for fun", they will tell you but there is a hidden agenda, a device by the devil to destroy young minds. The devil is everywhere and he's not there for fun. He is earnestly doing something dangerous to the souls of men. D...

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

1. Once upon a time I met a man who told me that telling the truth and making someone cry, is better than telling a lie and making someone smile and happy. 2. He said to me your true friends are those who will never avoid you just because they have met new friends. 3. As he kept on speaking to me, he said If some people do not appreciate and value my presence, I should work hard to make them value and appreciate my absence. 4. He said I must not be angry with anyone who is quiet on me because there must be a reason why they are quiet, and that I will get to know the reason later. 5. He told me it is always better to be a blessing to others at all times than to be a burden at all times. 6. He said I must learn to forgive others not because they deserve it but because I deserve the peace that comes with forgiveness. 7. I must know that everyone deserves a second chance and many more chances if they ask for forgiveness, but I must not loose my guard over their intentions....

PRAYER OF AGREEMENT IN MARRIAGE

One of the ways God has programmed speed to answered prayer in the realm of the spirit is through PRAYER OF AGREEMENT. The scripture says in Matthew 18:19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. It’s quite unfortunate that many married couples don’t take advantage of this blessing,and they begin to lament that their prayers are being delayed. The devil, very cunning a man knowing the ignorance of men decided to take advantage , He will ensure that husband and wife never pray together and agree together in oneness of heart ,its so unfortunate ,that is the reason things are slowed down in the realm of the spirit. It is either the husband wants to pray but the wife is not willing, or it is either the wife wants to pray but the husband is not willing. You will hear words like ‘’ continue I will join you , “ please don’t disturb me" "Akam ado utom ibaan” (It's a woman...

The Rise and Fall of AfroBeat

L Like any music genre, is influenced by a multitude of factors including cultural shifts, socio-political dynamics, and changes in artistic trends. Afrobeat, a genre that originated in West Africa in the late 1960s and was popularized by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, experienced significant growth and international recognition during its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, Fela Kuti's revolutionary lyrics, infectious rhythms, and fusion of traditional African music with jazz, funk, and highlife elements resonated with audiences around the world. Afrobeat became not only a genre of music but also a symbol of resistance against oppression and a platform for social and political commentary. However, Afrobeat's popularity waned in the following decades due to various factors. One significant factor was Fela Kuti's death in 1997, which marked the end of an era and led to a decline in mainstream attention towards Afrobeat. Additionally, the rise of other music genres a...
