Lagos, Nigeria, 30th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Nigeria’s real estate market is entering 2025 as one of Africa’s most attractive investment frontiers, offering high rental yields, strong capital appreciation, and new opportunities for diaspora and international buyers. With a market value projected at $2.61 trillion in 2025, including $2.25 trillion in residential real estate (Statista), Nigeria’s property sector is drawing increasing attention from investors across the globe.

Recent data shows that diaspora remittances reached $20.93 billion in 2024, an 8.9% increase year-on-year (Central Bank of Nigeria). Much of this capital is being channelled into property acquisition, rental apartments, and short-let investments—making real estate the preferred asset class for Nigerians abroad.

Lagos Leads the Market

Lagos remains the epicenter of property investment. According to Knight Frank, residential rents in Lagos grew 15–20% year-on-year in 2024, driven by high demand and limited supply. Prime locations such as Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Lekki Phase 1 continue to attract foreign and corporate tenants, while mainland hubs like Yaba, Ikeja GRA, and Surulere offer high liquidity and growth opportunities.

Short-Let Growth Surges

Short-let and serviced apartments, popular with business travelers and holidaymakers, are generating impressive returns. Market analytics show Lagos short-let apartments averaged $10,000 in annual revenue per unit with ~45% occupancy and an ADR of $67 between June 2024 and May 2025 (AirDNA). Prices surged by over 200% in 2024, highlighting both investor appetite and consumer demand.

Digital Reforms Build Confidence

One of the biggest breakthroughs for foreign investors has been the rollout of Lagos State’s e-GIS portal, which allows online title searches, Certified True Copies, and Governor’s Consent applications. These digital reforms reduce fraud risk, accelerate due diligence, and improve transparency for diaspora buyers conducting remote transactions.

Macro Outlook Supports Investment

Nigeria’s economy is showing signs of stabilisation. Inflation, previously at 34.8% in Dec 2024, rebased to 24.48% in Jan 2025 as tighter monetary policy took effect (National Bureau of Statistics). Meanwhile, the balance of payments recorded a $6.83 billion surplus in 2024, boosting investor confidence in Nigeria’s financial outlook (CBN).

Why Invest Now?

• High Yields: 6–8% long-let yields in Lagos, with 15–20% annual rent growth.

• Short-Let Upside: Average $10,000+ annual income per apartment with professional management.

• Diaspora Demand: $20.93 billion in remittances flowing into property.

• Digital Security: Lagos e-GIS digitisation strengthens investor protection.

Columbus, Ohio, 30th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Cats are meticulous self-groomers, and while their cleanliness is admirable, it often comes with a hidden challenge: hairballs. For pet owners, these unpleasant episodes of gagging, vomiting, or decreased appetite can be worrying. According to Dr. Eugene Aversa, DVM, a General Practice Small Animal Veterinarian with more than twenty-four years of experience, there is a natural, safe, and effective solution available right in the kitchen pantry: plain canned pumpkin.

Hairballs are more than just an inconvenience, explains Dr. Aversa. They can cause discomfort, nausea, and even impact a cat’s appetite and energy levels. In some cases, frequent hairballs may also point to more serious digestive issues.

Understanding Hairballs

When cats lick their fur, they inevitably ingest loose hairs. Normally, most of these hairs pass harmlessly through the digestive tract. But sometimes they accumulate in the stomach, forming what veterinarians call a trichobezoar, or hairball. Symptoms can include:

• Discomfort or nausea, often shown by lip-licking or restlessness
  

• Decreased appetite, as the stomach feels unnaturally full
  

• Coughing, gagging, or vomiting, as the cat attempts to expel the mass
  

While occasional hairballs are considered normal, frequent occurrences can affect a cat’s quality of life and may require veterinary evaluation.

The Role of Canned Pumpkin

Dr. Aversa and many veterinarians recommend plain, unsweetened canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, as a simple, natural way to help cats pass hair more easily through their digestive systems.

The benefits of pumpkin come primarily from its fiber and moisture content:

• Soluble fiber helps regulate digestion and adds bulk, preventing fur from clumping in the stomach
  

• Moisture content, pumpkin is nearly 90 percent water, keeps the digestive tract hydrated and supports smooth passage
  

• Pumpkin is also gentle on the stomach and unlikely to cause harm when given in appropriate amounts
  

How to use it:

• Dosage: About ½ to 1 teaspoon for small cats, up to 1–2 teaspoons for larger cats, a few times per week
  

• Mixing: Most owners blend pumpkin into their cat’s wet food; some cats even enjoy it plain
  

• Frequency: Occasional use works well, though for cats prone to hairballs, regular supplementation during heavy shedding seasons may help
  

Important notes:

• Only give plain pumpkin and avoid products with sugar, spices, or additives
  

• If a cat refuses pumpkin, alternatives like pureed squash or psyllium husk under veterinary supervision may work
  

• Frequent or severe hairballs should never be ignored, as they may signal gastrointestinal disease
  

Other Hairball Management Tips

Dr. Aversa stresses that pumpkin works best as part of a comprehensive approach to feline care. Pet owners should also consider:

• Regular brushing to reduce loose hair ingestion
  

• Specialized hairball-control diets rich in fiber
  

• Natural lubricant gels or pastes to help hair move through the digestive tract
  

Pumpkin is safe, natural, and effective, but it is not a cure-all, Dr. Aversa advises. Pairing it with grooming and a balanced diet gives cats the best chance of avoiding hairball-related discomfort.

A Veterinarian Rooted in Compassion

Dr. Aversa’s insights reflect more than two decades of hands-on experience and a lifelong devotion to animal welfare. A graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, his practice has always been guided by compassion and ethical care.

His veterinary journey has included remarkable acts of empathy, from rescuing a horse named Gulliver from slaughter to sparing a pig named Emma and finding her sanctuary in Michigan. He has donated his expertise to a canine sanctuary for senior dogs and maintains a special fondness for older animals.

Whether it is saving a life in surgery, advising on a simple dietary adjustment, or nursing a rescue animal back to health, the goal is the same, says Dr. Aversa. It is about serving animals and honoring the bond they share with the people who love them.

Dr. Eugene Aversa is a General Practice Small Animal Veterinarian with twenty-four years of clinical experience. He is known for his expertise in conventional medicine, as well as his commitment to compassionate, ethical care. His philosophy emphasizes thorough case management, clear communication with clients, and always putting the needs of animals first.

Largo, FL, 29th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Florida’s climate presents unique challenges for property owners attempting to maintain clean, healthy, and visually appealing landscapes; prolonged growing seasons, high humidity, and frequent storms can quickly turn well-kept grounds into overgrown, debris-filled spaces.

As a result, homeowners and property managers across the Tampa Bay region are finding it increasingly difficult to manage routine lawn care without professional assistance.

In response to this ongoing need, Bestway Lawn Care has announced the launch of its full-service grounds maintenance program, now available to clients in Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Seminole, Gulfport, and St. Pete Beach. This new offering provides a comprehensive approach to lawn and landscape management, designed specifically for Florida’s demanding conditions.

Unlike partial-service contractors or one-time cleanup crews, their new program is built for long-term results. It includes scheduled lawn mowing, tree pruning, hedge trimming, storm clean-up, sod installation, landscape design, and storm debris removal, performed by a licensed lawncare provider and supported by a team of insured landscapers with local expertise.

The program covers routine needs like landscaping, grounds keeping, yard cleanup, and outdoor upkeep, while also providing rapid-response services in the wake of tropical storms and hurricanes.

The initiative arrives at a time when demand for full-service outdoor maintenance is on the rise. According to the University of Florida’s IFAS Extension, Florida’s turfgrasses can remain in active growth for up to ten months per year, far longer than the national average of six to seven months. This extended growth cycle increases the frequency of mowing, trimming, fertilizing, and pest control, which the program wishes to address with its services.

When speaking about the company’s grounds maintenance program, a representative stated, “In Florida, yard care is not a seasonal responsibility; it’s an ongoing obligation that requires consistency, skill, and preparation. We created our full-service program to eliminate the need for multiple contractors and to give property owners peace of mind. Whether they require tree trimming, lawn care, or storm debris removal, our team is equipped to deliver reliable service throughout the year.”

In addition to their new program, the company continues to expand its expertise in specialty services, including sod installation, landscape design, and landscaping, all performed with attention to both aesthetics and long-term property health. With a commitment to clear communication, flexible scheduling, and personalized care, Bestway Lawn Care remains at the forefront of professional lawn care in Florida.

Clients seeking reliable assistance with grounds keeping can now access a singular, trusted provider equipped to handle Florida’s unique landscape challenges. With the addition of emergency support following storms and routine services like lawn maintenance, the company continues to pave the way for excellent lawn care.

Tokyo, Japan, 29th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a fashion landscape increasingly shaped by values of intentionality, heritage, and restraint, one name stands out for bridging global cultures through the language of craftsmanship: Trove.jp. Known for its curated approach to quiet luxury, Trove.jp is no longer just a well-kept secret in Japan. It is rapidly becoming a global destination for those who seek timeless fashion that transcends borders, trends, and seasons.

Founded in Tokyo, Trove.jp has quietly redefined luxury shopping in Japan and is now extending its reach to fashion-forward cities across the globe. With an unwavering focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and minimalism, the platform has carved out a unique position in the luxury fashion space. It doesn’t just sell clothing—it tells stories, honors heritage, and connects artisans, designers, and consumers in a global conversation centered around quality and elegance.

A Curated World of Quiet Luxury

While many platforms chase the next trend, Trove.jp remains rooted in its philosophy: that true luxury is not loud, but lived. The platform curates garments and accessories from globally respected designers who share a common language—restraint, refinement, and a reverence for materials. Brands like The Row, Lemaire, Jil Sander, Studio Nicholson, Totême, and Brunello Cucinelli all find a natural home on Trove.jp, where each piece is selected not just for its label but for its soul.

“We are not just importing fashion,” says a senior curator at Trove.jp. “We are building a cultural exchange through craftsmanship. These designers may be from New York, Paris, Stockholm, or Milan, but the values they uphold—precision, care, timelessness—resonate deeply with Japanese sensibilities.”

The result is a collection that feels cohesive yet international. Soft silhouettes, muted palettes, clean tailoring, and luxurious fabrics create a wardrobe that speaks to the quiet luxury aesthetic while maintaining a global perspective. Trove.jp is more than a shopping platform—it is a museum of wearable art, a celebration of fashion as a cultural bridge.

The Japanese Eye for Detail

Japan has long been admired for its unique approach to aesthetics. Concepts like wabi-sabi, which honors imperfection and impermanence, or shibui, which values subtle beauty, are deeply embedded in the national design philosophy. Trove.jp reflects these values by spotlighting pieces that prioritize construction over decoration and comfort over display.

This alignment has made Japan a natural incubator for quiet luxury. “The Japanese consumer has always looked beyond the logo,” explains the brand’s founder. “They understand that true value lies in how a garment is made, how it feels, how it lasts. That’s why quiet luxury fits so well here—and why we’re now in a position to share it with the world.”

A Trusted Space for Global Shoppers

As luxury e-commerce expands, trust remains a rare commodity. Trove.jp distinguishes itself through its rigorous verification standards. Every product listed is authenticated by in-house experts before it reaches the customer. The company also provides detailed provenance documentation, giving shoppers peace of mind in an often murky market.

This transparency has helped Trove.jp build a loyal community not only in Japan but increasingly in cities like Seoul, Singapore, London, and New York. The company now offers full English-language support and international shipping, extending its reach to a discerning global clientele who value both exclusivity and integrity.

“Our growth has not come from aggressive marketing but from word of mouth and repeat customers,” says a customer service lead. “Once someone shops with us, they come back. Because they know we care about the experience—from the product quality to the packaging to the communication.”

Digital Sophistication Meets Minimalist Aesthetic

Trove.jp’s website reflects the same elegance as its clothing. A clean, intuitive interface makes shopping seamless. High-resolution images, precise measurements, and thoughtful styling notes accompany each item. There is no visual clutter or gimmick—just space for the product to speak for itself.

This attention to digital experience is intentional. The company wants online shopping to feel personal, not transactional. Customers can access private styling consultations and even get recommendations tailored to their lifestyle, aesthetic, and climate. It is concierge service in digital form.

“Our goal is to replicate the feel of walking into a serene, beautifully curated boutique,” says the platform’s UX designer. “Every detail matters—from how items are organized to how they’re photographed. Quiet luxury begins with how we present it.”

Fashion with a Purpose

Beyond style, Trove.jp champions sustainability through its commitment to longevity. Fast fashion’s environmental impact is well documented, but Trove.jp believes the solution lies not just in changing materials, but in changing mindsets. By offering investment pieces that remain relevant year after year, the platform encourages consumers to buy with intention and wear with pride.

“Quiet luxury is inherently sustainable,” says a member of the brand team. “It’s about fewer, better things. It’s about caring for your clothes because they mean something to you. That’s what we want to cultivate—a slower, more meaningful relationship with fashion.”

This philosophy resonates strongly with younger consumers as well. Far from being a style reserved for the elite, quiet luxury is attracting Millennials and Gen Z shoppers who want their fashion choices to reflect their values. Trove.jp is meeting this demand by offering entry-level pieces and spotlighting designers who balance price accessibility with ethical production.

Bridging East and West

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Trove.jp’s growth is its role in cultural exchange. While Western brands dominate its inventory, the platform is also preparing to introduce more Japanese designers to its international audience. This move reflects a deeper ambition—not just to import quiet luxury, but to export it too.

“We want people in Europe or the US to discover Japanese craftsmanship in the same way they discover Italian tailoring or Scandinavian minimalism,” the founder explains. “There are designers here doing extraordinary work, rooted in centuries of textile heritage. Trove.jp can be the platform that brings them into the global spotlight.”

To support this mission, the company plans to launch a bilingual editorial series featuring behind-the-scenes stories from both international and Japanese creators. From artisan interviews to design diaries, the series will offer an inside look at the philosophy and process behind each piece. It is content that educates, elevates, and connects.

Looking Ahead

As Trove.jp steps into its next chapter, the vision remains clear: to create a global fashion destination where craftsmanship, culture, and elegance converge. While the fashion industry continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, Trove.jp stands as a calm, considered alternative—a place where luxury is defined not by price or hype, but by purpose.

With its expanding global footprint, curated ethos, and commitment to excellence, Trove.jp is not just responding to the quiet luxury movement—it is helping shape its future. In a world increasingly hungry for depth, story, and authenticity, Trove.jp reminds us that fashion is not just about what we wear. It is about how we connect.

About Trove.jp

Trove.jp is Japan’s premier online platform for quiet luxury fashion. Based in Tokyo, it offers a carefully curated selection of high-end clothing and accessories from globally respected designers. Known for its emphasis on authenticity, sustainability, and minimalist aesthetics, Trove.jp serves a global audience with a refined digital experience and concierge-level service. The platform is committed to bridging cultures through craftsmanship and elevating the way we experience fashion.

Nashville, TN, 29th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre of Nashville and members of the Nashville community recently convened for a special community screening of the “Alexandra Park Grand-Opening” screening—commemorating the newly unveiled L. Ron Hubbard Landmark Site in Harare, Zimbabwe. This heartfelt gathering showcased the enduring connections between global heritage and local commitment.

Honoring a Landmark Legacy

The “Alexandra Park” Landmark Site—a restored manor at 31 John Plagis Avenue in Harare’s Alexandra Park—was officially reopened on June 28, 2025, as a tribute to L. Ron Hubbard’s groundbreaking work in Scientology for South Africa. The restored site preserves the room where the legendary Clearing Course lectures were filmed, Hubbard’s only filmed interview, “An Introduction to Scientology,” as well as artifacts like his typewriter, office furnishings, and even his 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. The reopening marks the site’s return to its exact 1966 condition—a cornerstone of Scientology’s global architectural and spiritual legacy.

Nashville’s Enthusiastic Response

Attendees in Nashville—comprising members of the local Church, friends, supporters, and interested community members—were invited to view the “Alexandra Park” grand opening in a shared celebration of faith, history, and restoration. The event fostered:

• Community solidarity: Neighbors and Scientologists gathered in unity to honor a worldwide movement.

• Global connection: Witnessing the Zimbabwe grand-opening reinforced Nashville’s spiritual link to global Scientology milestones.

• Inspiration: The preservation of this landmark encouraged reflection on Nashville’s own historic sanctuary, the Fall School turned Celebrity Centre.

• Dialogue and fellowship: Followed by refreshments and conversation, the screening became a platform for sharing insights and aspirations.

A Message from Nashville Leadership

“We are inspired by the resilience and heritage that ‘Alexandra Park’ represents,” said Julie Brinker, Director of Community Relations for the Church. “Watching this restoration reminds us that we, too, are part of a living legacy—one that unites Nashville with the global Church, grounded in the timeless teachings of L. Ron Hubbard.”

About the Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre Nashville

Housed in the historic Fall School building, originally constructed in 1898, the Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre Nashville has long been a spiritual and cultural hub for the local Scientology community. It serves both as a place of worship and as a welcoming public center with interactive displays, lectures, and outreach programs.

Business, education, and healthcare leaders urged to start within as burnout and emotional fatigue skyrocket

Ogunquit, Maine, 29th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Donato Tramuto, renowned health care entrepreneur, human rights advocate, and founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation, is calling on leaders across all sectors to take urgent action—not just for their teams, but for themselves. Backed by recent research and decades of leadership experience, Tramuto is raising awareness for the critical role self-compassion plays in sustainable, impactful leadership.

“If you’re not taking care of yourself, you’re not leading—you’re just surviving,” said Tramuto. “Self-compassion isn’t a soft skill. It’s a smart one. It keeps you in the game.”

The Crisis Behind the Conference Rooms

According to a 2023 Deloitte study, 70% of executives have considered quitting their jobs due to burnout. In the same year, the World Health Organization officially recognized burnout as a medical condition, citing symptoms such as chronic fatigue, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness.

The problem isn’t just stress. It’s silence. Leaders are pushing through, ignoring their own needs, and paying the price.

“Early in my career, I believed caring meant carrying everything. Then my health gave out,” Tramuto shared. “A doctor asked me when I last took a weekend off. I couldn’t remember. That moment changed my life.”

The Science Is Clear

Multiple studies support Tramuto’s message:

• Leaders with high self-compassion experience 50% lower risk of burnout (Stanford, 2022)
  

• Self-compassion boosts problem-solving and emotional regulation (Journal of Positive Psychology, 2023)
  

• Employees are 84% more likely to stay at companies where leadership models emotional support (LinkedIn, 2024)
  

Tramuto’s message: You can’t lead others until you lead yourself—with care, clarity, and intention.

A Movement Rooted in Action

Through the TramutoPorter Foundation and his book The Double Bottom Line, Tramuto has helped business leaders, educators, and healthcare professionals learn to lead with humanity. This fall, the Foundation will host a Compassionate Leadership training at Regis College, focused on teaching educators to first extend compassion to themselves before passing it on to students.

“Compassion isn’t just a value—it’s a practice,” Tramuto said. “The results are real. Teams perform better. Decisions get smarter. And leaders stop burning out.”

A Call to Reflect, Reset, and Lead Better

This campaign isn’t asking for a policy change or donation. It’s asking for a pause. A breath. A shift in how leadership is taught, lived, and modeled—starting now.

“Leadership today isn’t about having all the answers,” Tramuto concluded. “It’s about creating space—for yourself and for others—to grow through the hard stuff.”

Louisiana, USA, 29th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Renewable energy executive Tyler Pommier is urging individuals and communities to take a more informed and active role in clean energy decisions, following the release of a wide-ranging interview that explores his work, habits, and views on the future of sustainable power.

Drawing from his career leading solar, wind, and bioenergy projects across Louisiana, Pommier emphasises the importance of energy literacy—the ability for everyday people to understand how energy systems work and why it matters.

“You don’t need to be an expert or work in the industry to make a difference,” Pommier said in the interview. “Small actions, when multiplied, can drive bigger change.”

Pommier’s comments come at a time when energy transitions are accelerating globally, but local engagement remains limited. A 2024 Pew study found that while 75% of Americans support expanding renewables, only 16% say they understand how their local energy systems work.

“We can’t afford for clean energy to remain an abstract concept,” he explained. “If we want lasting change, communities need to feel a sense of ownership—not just over the conversation, but over the infrastructure itself.”

One concept Pommier champions is community-owned energy assets. He sees shared ownership as key to resilience, especially in places like Louisiana where extreme weather, flooding, and power outages are becoming more frequent.

In the interview, Pommier recalls a time early in his career when a project failed because local voices were ignored. That experience shaped his approach moving forward: human-first, tech-second.

What You Can Do Today

Tyler Pommier’s message isn’t just aimed at policymakers—it’s for everyone. He suggests these simple actions:

• Understand your local energy system: Visit your utility’s website or attend a town meeting. Learn where your power comes from.
  

• Support local and community-owned energy projects: Even small solar co-ops or rooftop installations can shift the energy balance.
  

• Question assumptions: Renewable energy isn’t always about high tech. It’s about smart, simple solutions that fit the community.
  

• Talk about it: “One of the most powerful tools we have is conversation,” says Pommier. “Talk to your neighbours. Ask questions. That’s how change begins.”

Known for his clarity, strategic thinking, and human-centred approach, he specialises in clean energy projects that integrate solar, wind, and bioenergy solutions.

Nevada, USA, 29th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Global entrepreneur and philanthropist Dr. Malini Saba is calling for a reexamination of the way individuals and organizations approach giving, advocating for a move beyond temporary fixes toward long-term, system-level change.

In a recent conversation on success and leadership, Dr. Saba shared deep insights into what she calls the “Band-Aid model” of charity—quick fixes that address symptoms rather than root causes. Her decades of experience funding and building initiatives across education, healthcare, and economic development have led her to one central conclusion:

“Pity doesn’t change the world. Systems do,” Dr. Saba stated. “If we stop at food drives and school donations without changing why people are hungry or uneducated in the first place, we’re just managing poverty, not ending it.”

Why Systems Change Matters

Globally, over 700 million people still live in extreme poverty (World Bank, 2023), and nearly 244 million children are out of school (UNESCO). Maternal mortality remains a crisis in many regions due to systemic healthcare failures, not a lack of supplies. Dr. Saba believes these issues demand more than charity — they require structural reform.

“We invest in women-led cooperatives in South Asia. Not just to hand out money — but to help women own land, run businesses, and create generational wealth,” she explained. “We support mental health clinics in underserved U.S. communities, training professionals from within those neighborhoods, not outside them.”

Her foundation doesn’t rely on traditional donors. Instead, Dr. Saba self-funds her philanthropic work through the returns from her global investment firm — a deliberate choice to keep values and outcomes aligned.

“When you take outside money, you often take on someone else’s vision. I fund what I believe will create lasting, local transformation,” she noted.

A Different Kind of Giving: From Relief to Resilience

Dr. Saba’s message goes beyond how we donate — it’s about how we think about impact. She wants people to move from feel-good acts of giving to thoughtful, durable support.

“Handouts help in a crisis. But long-term, people need power — not pity. That means changing who holds the mic, who makes decisions, and who benefits,” she said.

This includes asking harder questions:

• Who decides how aid is spent?
  

• Are we solving the actual problem, or making ourselves feel better?
  

• Are local voices at the table — or being spoken over?
  

She challenges donors, community leaders, and everyday people to be more intentional in where they put their time, money, and trust.

A Call to Action: What You Can Do Now

While many assume systems change requires wealth or power, Dr. Saba believes individuals can begin right where they are. She offers practical steps:

• Educate yourself on the root causes of the issues you care about.
  

• Listen to local voices and support organizations led by people from the communities being served.
  

• Fund movements, not moments — prioritize long-term partnerships over one-time donations.
  

• Ask better questions about where your money goes and who it benefits.
  

• Invest in advocacy and policy reform, not just short-term aid.
  

“True success,” she says, “is when your impact outlives your presence — when you’ve helped create a system that no longer needs saving.”

With a career spanning over 30 years across sectors including healthcare, fintech, commodities, and real estate, she uses her business returns to fund systemic social initiatives around the world.
