  • I Live On Heavy Loans And Showing Off, While Someone Who Pays My salary Is Quite Modest And Living  A Simple Life

    By Anonymous

    Meeting an old class mate, we had not seen each other for about 30 years. The Lord has been kind to me.
    When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, he was looking simple. He wore simple Ankara attire. I felt touched.
    He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn’t hide it.
    We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

    I told him I will drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him.
    He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.

    I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, to show off my success and affluence to him, while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

    He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn’t sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans… He looked at me and smiled.

    He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had.  “Fingers are not all equal”, I thought to myself…I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

    Two weeks later, we went to see him in Kitisuru my wife and I.
    She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man’s status as to warrant our visiting him in his house.
    I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college.
    We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.

    It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

    Lunch was well served.
    His wife called him Baba Gweth.

    During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the estate.

    _I did not know when I called him sir… I was in awe of him too._

    I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

    Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!

    Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence!

    Adjust your perception towards others.
    God bless you as you read, learn and take a good step of change..

  • APC Dispels Rumors Of The Suspension Of Its Planned National Convention

     

    The general public is advised to completely disregard fake news on the reported suspension of the planned National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) till June, as reported by some media outlets.

    Dates for Party activities such as meetings, Primaries, Congresses, National Conventions are communicated through well-known official channels and not through ‘sources’.

    The faceless authors and sponsors of fake news on APC activities, in this case the planned National Convention are simply bent on causing confusion and formenting crisis through misinformation. We should not enable them.

    As a focus-driven, process-oriented political party, the APC Caretaker Committee under the leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni will not be distracted by self-serving antics of these sponsors of fake news. The APC Caretaker Committee is already embarking on nationwide consultations with Party stakeholders to prepare the ground for a rancour-free National Convention. To this end, the sub-committee on budgeting and other substructures will be set up in due course.

    Finally, the Party notes and appreciates the continued support of well-meaning members and leaders as the APC Caretaker Committee undertakes the immediate task of addressing contestations within the Party, litigations, fallouts of recently-conducted Congresses and generally reposition the Party ahead of the National Convention.

  • It Is Time We Start Demanding For Maintenance Fees From Ladies

    Culled From INYALI PETER wall

    Medically, men lose 12% of their blood sugar during every round of sex, they also lose 10% of their protein level and also lose 10% of their calorie level. Worse still is, you also lose 15% of your natural energy.

    What do ladies lose?
    Only 5% of their water level…….

    So If you hear FASTER or HARDER or GIVE IT TO ME, my brother just runaway.

    However, for every round of sex you also loose MONEY, either through POSTPAID or PREPAID.

    I also recall that a Pharmacist friend of mine who told me some years ago that with every round of good sex A man looses food values of nutrients equivalent to his monthly nutrient build up from daily balanced diet of 30 days.

    WHAT A SACRIFICE?
    And yet they act like they are doing you a favour… It is time we start demanding for maintenance fees from ladies, please.

  • Chief Ernest Shonekan: The End Of A Democracy Traitor BY OMOYELE SOWORE

     

    When I learned of the death of Chief Ernest Shonekan today at the age of 85. I could not hold my anger at the reporting (including at Sahara Reporters) that claimed he was a “Nigerian leader.”

    Truth is that Chief Shonekan wasn’t a leader, he was a traitor who betrayed Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola and a betrayer of Nigeria’s quest for genuine democracy before and during the June 12 1993 era.

    Also, Chief Shonekan wasn’t an “Interim Leader” as reported in many news outlets, the illegal contraption he headed known as the “Interim National Government” which was put together by an equally evil traitor, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida was appropriately nullified by a Lagos High Court also in 1993 after he occupied the office of “President” only for 84 days.

    Nigerians should courageously address the sins of these bunch of wicked people when they are alive and when they die.

    The people of Chile recently treated the death of Lucía Hiriart, the widow of the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet with scorn even though she died at the age of 99.

  • Go Get Your Own Broom BY Lovendah OTACHE

     

    In one certain Parish, the late Bishop Michael Eneja of Nsukka Catholic Diocese was on a Pastoral visit. That faithful late afternoon, the weather was very hot, such that staying inside the Church or Hall was not an option at all. The Saintly Bishop decided to have his teaching outside, under the avocado pea tree at the center of Church premises.

    This impromptu change of arrangement caused a stir, occasioning a lot of running around for the Parish PRIEST and other key officers of the Parish council.

    The major drama happened when the Parish PRIEST returned with a conference table and discovered that the Bishop had already picked up a broom at the front of the Church and started sweeping.

    On sighting the Bishop bending down with a broom in his hand sweeping, the Parish PRIEST shouted “My Lord, please don’t do that to me! Give me the broom, let me do the sweeping myself!”
    Despite the Priest’s insistence, the Bishop refused to allow him. On the contrary, he said to the priest, “Go and get your own broom.”

    In obedience, the Parish PRIEST went and picked up his own broom and started sweeping. It did not take long before the catechist arrived at the scene and saw both His Lordship and the Parish PRIEST sweeping, and he nearly fainted!

    The catechist rushed the Parish priest to collect the broom from him but the PRIEST told him, “Go and get your own broom.”

    The same continued until everyone who came for the conference got their own broom. Just within minutes the whole compound was clean and the Bishop continued with his catechetical instruction.

    I think Nigeria’s problem can be solved with all of us g”our own brooms” and joining in the sweeping of the mess we found ourselves.

    If everybody is to sweep their corner, the whole nation would be sparkling clean within minutes. It is all about starting small and starting it by yourself now. We can still do it. Let’s do it!. Together, we can!
    Criticism without working out solutions to our problems will not get us anywhere!

  • Business Is Hard: This Is The Part Many Coaches Do Not Tell Us BY TINA JB OFEM

     

    That part where you’ve exhausted all proven strategies yet no results.

    That part where you have the ideas and startup skills, yet no capital.

    That part where you started successfully then because they said business is risk, you got involved in one investment hoping for the best and unfortunately you lost everything.

    These are the parts no one, absolutely no one tells us about.

    But we are still hopeful, we wouldn’t give up.

    We are going to keep pushing, if this is you too.

    Hang in there.
    I’m rooting for you 💕
