I live in a rural area and as a result of that, I get to see Fulani
nomads every day, taking their cattle around for grazing. And so
yesterday, I saw the cattle grazing peacefully. I looked around but I
could see no nomad. I knew the Fulanis were not of the habit of leaving
their cattle alone. I looked carefully again and caught sight of a small
boy holding a rod. I could hardly believe my eyes. This small boy? He
could be nothing more than ten years old. And then he stood, holding a
rod, beating the cows, controlling the animals that were five times his
size.<br />
If only they knew, I thought. If only the cattle knew they
had more power than the Fulani boy. If only they knew they had strong
horns and could lift the boy and throw him into the bush. If only they
knew they had hoofs, hoofs strong enough to break the boy's rod into
two. Of only they knew what they possessed, they would be free, would be
living the life they wanted, would not be controlled by small boys like
this one.<br />

<br />
Ignorance is not just a disease, it's a deadly one.
Most of us are like cows. We are ignorant of who we are and what we
possess. I believe God, the creator of mankind, has embedded in us all
talents and abilities that are strong and powerful enough to carry us
through life. But we do not know. We are ignorant.<br />
And because we
do not know, we fail at so many things. I am a night worker. I prefer
working (reading and writing) at night. Sometimes, I sleep during the
day and stay awake at night. This is not because I cannot or do not work
during the day. I can and do work during the day sometimes. But it's
not always the same as during the night. I understand better at night. I
do not experience writer's block at night. I tend to be more efficient
at night. That is me. But most of us do not know ourselves. We do not
know when we enjoy working and when we are more efficient. And because
of this, we fail exams.<br />
Some folks want to do everything. They
want to write, sing, draw, dance, code, own a company, manage an
enterprise, be a model, own a school, and build an automobile. They want
to do everything: everything they were not meant to do; everything they
are not endowed with the abilities to do; everything God did not plan
them to do. And so because these folks are ignorant, because they do not
know what God has planned for their lives, they fail at so many things
they lay their hands upon.<br />
Some folks fail in life because they
do not know. To succeed in life, one must be purposeful and be aware of
why one is on earth. One must know why one is going on a journey before
taking the first step. Ask yourself the question: why am I on earth? Ask
God and put down your answers on paper. Some folks think they are on
earth just because the big-bang happened and so they 'just' exist. They
live everyday as it comes making wrong choice and decisions, doing
things out of God's purpose for their lives. And because of this,
because they do not know, they fail to live. They just exist.<br />
You've got to know who you are and what you carry. I know who I am and
what I carry. What of you? Hope you are not like those big ‘fellas’
being controlled by small boys with rods? Please do not be. <br />
Cheers!</div>

While Bola was in college, his brother at home sent him a
letter with the words:<i> Bro, am dying. Things are changing. I think I
will commit suicide. Come home.</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-D3qVgCQsc48UFjyR1HyXasx9vnoZ5yDe2AgRbwRZsFfX2FM3Cj5kma3gzqWG7nIHRNRORx5yXk30UoO8Y23pPzr9Bi38LdNalPz9IZ6d1n4354Dz9Gvp9orajpV3hKRXMFvRjoDiH_4/s1600/Picture1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-D3qVgCQsc48UFjyR1HyXasx9vnoZ5yDe2AgRbwRZsFfX2FM3Cj5kma3gzqWG7nIHRNRORx5yXk30UoO8Y23pPzr9Bi38LdNalPz9IZ6d1n4354Dz9Gvp9orajpV3hKRXMFvRjoDiH_4/s320/Picture1.jpg" width="319" /></a></i></div>
<br />
Immediately Bola got the letter,
he rushed down to his school’s Head teacher and collected an Exeat. He
left for Ibadan that evening and he got home at night.<br />
On getting
home, he found his brother lying on the floor. Various types of drugs,
and a bottle of water were on the stool beside him. Bola looked around
and saw that there was no one at home. Where was dad? Mum? He knew
something was wrong. He did not know which to do first; look around for
his parents or get help.<br />
As he paced up and down, dreading the
fact that each second he spent thinking, his brother’s life was sipping
away, he saw his brother’s phone on the floor. He picked it up quickly
trying hard to calm himself down so as not to make any stupid decision.<br />
He called his mother but her phone was switched off. He called his father, he didn’t pick. <br />
Then he sent a message:<br />
<i> ‘What’s the problem, son? Am going for a meeting now. If you need more
money check my study. Don’t touch the foreign currencies.’</i><br />
Bola read the message again and cursed. Was it all about money? He
dialed their family doctor’s number. He picked immediately.<br />
‘Yes, Kunle, how’re you?’<br />
‘Doctor, it’s me – Bola. Kunle is – is unconscious! He’s lying on the floor.’<br />
‘Unconscious? Am coming.’<br />
Five minutes after, after shaking and pouring water on Kunle times
without number, the doctor arrived. On seeing the drugs on the stool, he
knew this was no joke.<br />
‘He’s going to be fine, right?’ Bola asked fearfully. His eyes were on the doctor’s face. The man shook his head.<br />
‘I pray so,’ he said. Quickly, they both carried Kunle into the doctor’s car and drove off to the hospital.<br />
Bola did not sleep that night. He was pacing up and down the waiting
room, praying that Bola will be fine. He did not want to think of what
might happen if his brother should die. No, no, no; he said shaking his
head and praying. Nobody was at home when it happened. Neither of his
parents knew where he was now. What was going on? He knew his mother
had gone to see her boss as was her usual practice whenever their father
travelled to Lagos for an official assignment. But why did she have to
leave Kunle alone? All alone?<br />
The doctor came out around 1:00 AM. Bola rushed to meet him.<br />
‘Please doctor.’<br />
‘He’s fine. He’s okay. He wants to see you,’ the doctor said, a
reassuring smile spread on his face. Bola sighed. He fell on his knees
and gave thanks and then went into the room to see his brother.<br />
‘Ha, Kunle!’ he almost screamed when he entered. His brother was lying
on the hospital bed, looking thin. He had lost weight again. Bola could
see a reflection of depression in his eyes. He looked sad, tired, as
though some unseen dementors had sucked away all the happiness in him.<br />
‘Am sorry, Bola,’ he said. ‘I was alone."<br />
**********<br />
Hmm…I was alone.<br />
Let's take a good look at our topic again. Loving without giving, possible? No, that’s the
simple answer. But I want to draw your attention to something else.
Giving is not all about money. Please note that. When we talk about
giving as a sign of love, some people start to justify themselves
saying: ‘I gave him a hundred thousand naira last week.’ Or, ‘I don’t
have much.’<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3532435818070585676" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a> Why must our minds go to money whenever we talk about
giving? It’s sad. As a result of this shallow mentality, many
relationships have been broken, many loved ones lost, many families
shattered. You can imagine what the boy in our story was passing through
to have sent such an alarming message to his brother and to have
thought the solution to his life problems was to commit suicide. He had
money. His father left enough. He needed more than money. He needed love
– real love which does not reside in money. <i>You can’t love without
giving, but you can love without giving money.</i> Money is only one of the
numerous things we can give to show love. People need our time, our
attention, our presence. Our loved ones want to see us, to talk to us,
to laugh with us, to cry with us, rejoice with us, and lament with us.
It’s not all about money; correct that, please.<br />
It’s pathetic
that this is more or less a normal thing in Africa. A man leaves a big
wad of notes on the centre table and leaves the house until midnight.
And when the wife complains, you hear people say things like: ‘Hope he
is still giving you money? If he is, then you still have him.’<br />
No, that’s not it. If all you are giving his money, and you think you
are loving or generous or something, I’m glad to announce to you that
you are not. Give your time. Spend time with people. Hear their worries,
their joys, their fears. Comfort them. Give your attention, your
presence. Let them know you are there for them no matter what happens.
Money can’t solve all these.<br />
The only person Kunle could call was
his brother. He knew his brother would be the only one who would attend
to him the way he wanted. He knew his brother would read his letter
with concern and so he called him.<br />
Can your friends call you
when they are desperately in need of attention, time, presence, comfort?
Can they call when it’s not money issue? If everything you are giving
your lover, spouse, friend or relative or everything you are receiving is money, then you
should check, something is definitely wrong somewhere.<br />
<i> You can’t love without giving. But you can love without giving money.</i><br />
<i> Cheers! </i><br />

All these and others are what you hear people say. I want to tell you that all
these are utterances of a shallow mind.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like I read in a book "this life
is a preparation for the next".<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes we die and leave all the wealth
and other treasures we've <span class="uficommentbody">accumulated. Yes we will
take nothing when we die, but people who think that they will die and leave
everything behind, and tag this world meaningless are being selfish.</span><br />
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why do you
think some people have died and are not remembered and others are remembered?</span>
<span class="uficommentbody">What you need to know is that to make this life
meaningful, make it better for this generation and hundreds of generations to
come.</span> <span class="uficommentbody">When you think about making an impact,
you don't see this life as meaningless.</span><br />
<span class="uficommentbody">When you accumulate wealth, do so to impact lives
not just to live robustly and die.</span><br />
<span class="uficommentbody">Live to be remembered.</span><br />
<span class="uficommentbody">Cheers!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> And so I met one of my old school friends last week when I travelled to Ibadan, and I asked him, ‘So what’s up, now?’ He looked at him and laughed.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> Now, I knew this guy to be a very ambitious guy (well, that was what I thought he was.) While we were in school, whenever I talked about writing, he would start talking about many other things that he too was involved in. There was a time he asked me why I write, and so I laughed and told him I write for so many reasons but most importantly to say what has been left unsaid, or said wrongly. Whenever I said this, this friend of mine would nod vigorously the way doctors nod during a seminar, or deacons while the pastor is preaching. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> The guy would tell me he has plans. ‘I want to change things, Pal,’ he would say. ‘I want to make a difference. I have plans ooo…many plans,’ my dear friend would say. If you asked, what plans; he wouldn’t tell you anything specific. All that while we were in school.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> And so I met this same fellow in Ibadan last week. And we talked and talked and talked. He said he used to read my stories and articled on my blog and that he too would start writing and that I should write a novel…blah…blah…blah. When I finally got the chance to talk, I asked, ‘How far? What’s up?’ </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">He knew what I meant and so he said, ‘Ah, don’t worry, Pal. Am taking things slowly….slooooowly. By the time am thirty, my name will be in the papers.’</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> I did not get the chance to talk to the guy as I was in a hurry to get back to my town. And so I sent him a message and sent him the pictures of three young girls who were changing things and who were not yet thirty. And I wrote,</span><br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> ‘Look, guy, you are old enough. I think it’s high time you sat down and thought. This one that whenever we talk, you will be talking about invisible plans that we both know you don’t have. Sit down, think and act. If you really have a plan, and you really want to make an impact; then you can’t afford to wait till you are thirty. The other time we chatted on Facebook, you talked about Nigerian barriers. Buddy, there are no barriers except the ones you create yourself. There are people making impacts, influencing lives and doing something right where they are.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> Enough of excuses. The other time I sent some books on Computer Programming ('cause I know you're interested in that) to your mail. You haven't even replied my mail. I hope you won't be telling me that you forgot your password again. You don't forget your 2go password but you forget your Gmail password... I wonder ooo!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">If you are still thinking that you are small or young or anything, I will prove you wrong. At the end of this message, you will see some photos. Those are photos of people that are already pursuing their goals and making impacts at a tender age.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> The first one is<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuriel_Oduwole" target="_blank"> Zuriel Oduwole.</a> (She even has the same surname with you...Lol). That girl is fourteen years old now. You see that? 14. That's your youngest brother's age. And she is making an impact. I spent a good number of hours watching her videos and interviews with some African presidents last week. (That's what you should be watching buddy, not some stupid 'How to make a girl like you' videos). The girl is an Education Advocate, a writer and a filmmaker. The last time I checked, she is the youngest person ever to be profiled by Forbes. She is just fourteen and you are already growing beards and you are telling me that you are waiting till 2050 before you make the papers??? Think pal.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> You see that second girl? That's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Penn" target="_blank">Maya Penn</a>. She is fifteen. Is that not the age of that girl you said you were dating some two months ago? She started her own company at the age of eight. You see what am talking about that age is not an excuse? She is a philanthropist,an artist and a tech geek (just like you claim to be.) She had done two TEDtalks. (Of course you know TEDtalk. Unless you are trying to tell me that you have forgotten Chimamanda Adichie's We All Should Be Feminists that we both watch together).</span><br />

That's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malala_Yousafzai">Malala.</a> There is no need for me to write a story about her before you know who she is and what she is doing.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> These girls didn't start yesterday or today. They have been working on their visions since they had it. It is just now that we are seeing the results of their hard work; now that their names are on Wikipedia and everywhere.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
And the fascinating thing about these girls is not that they are rich, or that they are making 'cool cash', or that they are travelling from Moscow to Malaysia; but that they are making an impact. They are living their dreams. Oduwole is an advocate for Education. Malala is an...well you know what Malala is, and Maya is a philanthropist.They making an impact. They are changing things. They are changing the way the world views females. Girls like Zuriel are changing the way th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">e world views African...Nigerians. They are changing the way the world views Non-Europeans, and blacks especially.<br /> The last time we talked about Adichie, you were saying she is thiry-eight years old. Here are three people, one bearing the same surname as you do, that are not yet twenty ooo. Friend, the next time I 'stumble upon' you whether in Ibadan, (Don't worry am coming there next month) or anywhere, I don't want to hear stories. I want to hear what you're doing to really make the change we all used to talk about while in school. Start doing something buddy. Time waits for nobody. If you think you are not old enough, then am telling you that you are too old! Start living your dreams. Enough of dreaming and snoring 'falalaing' on the bed; start acting.</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> My point is straight my friend. Do not see this as a criticism but as a challenge. You too start taking little little steps towards the achievement of your goals. I'm not saying I want to see your name in the papers tomorrow or next year. But you shouldn't be idle, pal. If you're really interested in the programming stuff we discussed and you want to make an impact through that, then start learning it. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of programming. Read about famous programmers. Start an online course or something. Make sure you are doing something that is taking you everyday a step closer to your dream. If you are reading just a single page from a programming book each day, then by the end of this year, you would have read over three hundred pages on programming. Isn't that cool? That way, you are doing something. You are impacting your generation already.</span></blockquote>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> Maya is fifteen. Zuriel is fourteen. My good friend you are twenty. Age is not an excuse. My regards to mum and your fifteen year old girlfriend (abi you don break up? God have mercy.) I pray you see this very soon, and give me a reply.</span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
It is with deep sorrow and sadness that I write this letter. I hope it gets to
you before the year becomes old. How are you? And how is the New Year treating
you? Is all well?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
There are two main things I want to achieve with this letter. One is to talk to
you about the New Year, and the other is to announce to you that yesterday,
we lost our dear friend, Victor.<br />
Victor died in the early hours of today, the 1st of January around 3:00 AM. Am
sad (and I know you are too) but am not broken. Why? Because I know Victor's
eternity is settled and that he will live forever and that we will see again
when the time comes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /> However, before he gave up the ghost yesterday, Victor wrote something's down;
and a part of what he wrote was addressed to both of us.<br />
When I sat beside him on his deathbed weeping, he took up his pen and wrote (we
both know he lost his power of speech some weeks ago):<br /> "<i>Am not happy am leaving you here, friend, but do you know that all my
life have been preparing for this hour, this moment?</i> (I gasped and he went on).<i>
Yes, friend. All my life, I have been preparing for death, the inevitable one.</i><br /> "<i>Look friend, I would have loved to live the New Year with you, and all
our other friends in church, school, and with my family; but I cannot. I think
am going to die. In fact, I know it; it's obvious. It saddens my heart but does
not sorrow it. All my life, have been preparing for death. We will see again,
friend. And make sure you too prepare for the inevitable one so that all in
all, when you die, you will live on here and there, forever..</i>."</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> I
will send you the whole sheet on which Victor wrote his last words when am done
with it. But I want to stress something very important here, and that will lead
me to my second purpose for writing this letter.<br />
You know, all my life have always been afraid of death. All my life have always
dreaded that moment when I will look into the eyes of my friends and family,
and I will see them for (probably) the last time. The thought of that single
future moment had always been disturbing me. Whenever I think of how people die,
and how many people we have lost in the recent years, I shiver. But as I read Victor's
letter yesterday, the fear of death vanished - completely!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /> He wrote something about living "here" and "there" after
death. I was wondering, how can one live here after death? Would not one have
gone there? And then it struck me - Works! Impact! Influence! Life! That is it!
That is the only way one can live there after one is dead. That is the only way
death will be "but crossing of the world, as friends do the seas."[1]<br /> </span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Friend, am no longer afraid of death, though am still afraid of dying. And so
when I think of our late friend's last words, I ask myself, "What if I die
today? Will I live on here and there? What have I done that will live on even
when am dead? What (that's of I will be remembered at all) will I be remembered
for? Will my tomb attract flowers or bird droppings? Will people shed tears when
my body is being returned to where it came from or will they keep a straight,
neutral face? Will I be washed away in the memory of man in a flash or will I
last a long time to come? What works of mine will live on forever? Who have I
influenced, impacted, changed? What cause have I supported, stood for, fought
for? How have I helped the human race? How have I used my talents (if I used
them at all) to improve lives? Have I been generous enough? Have I shared my
time, money or other resources? Have I stood for what I believed in even in the
face of danger and death or have I compromised my beliefs? Have I helped the
poor, strengthen the old (with my words and deeds), and taught the young? Have
I done for others as I would want them to do for me? Will I leave this earth
and go home with a sack full of rewards or sack full of unused and wasted
talents? What will I be remembered for?<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> I have thought of all these, buddy, and I have decided to make the best use of
2016 and all the many more years to come. Have decided to live each minute of
my life, preparing for death. I want you to also think about this. Give your
siblings, parents and friends this letter to read. I want you too to resolve to
do something this year that will leave a mark, a good one, a positive one.<br />
Our friend died yesterday, but he lives on forever, because his works and words
shall never be forgotten. Make sure your friends see this, buddy. Hope to hear
from you soon. Happy New Year.<br /> Yours sincerely,<br /> Sam.</span><br />

Don't stop reading until you are done!<br />
It's a new year 2015! New decisions are to be taken this new year to<br />
achieve newly-set goals and ambitions. As you begin your journey into<br />
this new year, ask yourself these questions:<br />
What are the bad habits I want to drop this year?<br />
What are the good habits I want to pick up this year?<br />
Where do I want to get to this year?<br />
What new thing do I want to do this year?<br />
Who are those bad pals I want to leave this year?<br />
Who are those good friends I want to move closer to this year?<br />
Which books do I want to read this year?<br />
What do I want to achieve before the end of this year?<br />
What steps do I need to take to achieve these?<br />
Having asked yourself these questions, think [meditate] on them and<br />
put down your answers. Then take necessary steps to achieve all what<br />
you've written down. Remember, these resolutions are serious decisions<br />
so take them serious.<br />
It's a new year<br />
Do something new.<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR"<br />
.<br />
.<br />
Perhaps as you were reading, you were like, 'have read this before.' Well, yes - you've read that before. That was published on Jan 1, 2015. 1:23 AM. That was our opening post for this year, and it will also be our closing post, just with a little touch -Questions!</div>
<span id="goog_1677786008"></span><span id="goog_1677786009"></span><span id="goog_1677786010"></span><span id="goog_1677786011"></span><span id="goog_1677786012"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1677786013"></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, "Droid Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.79px; padding: 0px;">
Read the post again, and replace anything representing Future tense to past tense. E.g Instead of what books do I want to read this year, ask yourself: what books have I read this year. Evaluate yourself and see whether you were able to do all you wrote down almost a year ago.<br />
2015 is almost over. This is not for you to lament over spilt milk, but to reason with yourself and plan ahead for the coming year.<br />
We hope you will be the first to read our Welcome Post in 2016. You can't afford to miss it.<br />
Happy New Year to our friends in Sydney and New Zealand. As I understand, you are already in 2016.<br />
For those of us still locking at our watch, Happy Old Year. Cheers!</div>

year is going to an end. As I was going out this morning, my mum gave me a job
to do. It was a very stressful job but due to this ‘cool cash’ I would get from
it, I embraced it. You know the year is going to an end, so I need money.
Money, for so many things: new clothes, shoes, accessories, many things. It’s a
new year coming, so I want everything new for the New Year”</span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Poor Richard, serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">
These were the words that came out of Israel</span></span><span class="textexposedshow" style="color: #141823; font-family: 'Poor Richard', serif; font-size: 16pt;">, a
fifteen year old boy. It’s good to have new things: shoes, clothes and
everything. However there is something more important than all those, something
more special. It’s a new you.</span><br />
<span class="textexposedshow"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Poor Richard, serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">You don’t put old wines in new </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">wine skins</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">; it’s not
done. An old you should not enter the New Year, it’s not so good. So as you get
all those new things, desire a new ‘you’. And don’t forget that a new you
cannot be purchased with gold or money. A new you is determined by your plans
and resolutions for the coming year. A new you is the new thing you have in
mind that you want to execute this coming year. A new you is the new way you
want to relate with people this coming year. A new you is the new thing that
you want to use to replace the old things that were in the old you this year.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="textexposedshow" style="color: #141823; font-family: 'Poor Richard', serif; font-size: 16pt;">A new you is not gotten from the market, it’s
determined from the heart. Determine in your heart thus coming year to become
new so that an old you won’t be wearing and using all the new things you buy.</span><br />
<span class="textexposedshow" style="color: #141823; font-family: 'Poor Richard', serif; font-size: 16pt;">It’s a new year coming. Everything must be new,
including you!</span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Poor Richard, serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

some dreams back then. Now sit, relax and think how many of those goals have I

anything new this year? Have I made an impact? What makes this year different
from last year for me?</span></span><span style="background: rgb(246, 247, 248) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #141823; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />

down as answers to the questions above. If most of your answers are on the
negative side, why? If they are on the positive, good job well done. Keep it
up! As you set new goals for the coming year, don’t deceive yourself. Set
realistic goals and put into consideration all what you have written down. You
might not have achieved all the set goals of 2015. However that’s no reason for
sorrow. Note those things that prevented you from achieving your goals and do not
give them a chance this coming year. They are stumbling blocks, not ‘stopping
blocks.’</span></span></span></div>

It will
be very unwise for you to search for New Year resolutions online and write them
down as yours. Some people do this. You shouldn’t be setting goals because
other people are doing so, or just as a tradition. That’s not it. That’s why
when you ask someone midway into the years what their expectations were in
January, they cannot answer you. Forgetting your New Year resolutions and goals
in a sign of lack of seriousness. If you really want something, you don’t
forget it., you live each day of your life bearing that particular need in
mind. In case you are naturally forgetful, get a diary or something. Write down
your resolutions on the first pages for notes and check them every day. As you
achieve on goal, tick it done and write a brief note about it on the
achievement day’s page in your diary. That way, you won’t forget a thing.</span></span><span style="background: rgb(246, 247, 248) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #141823; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />

success. Happy new month. Stay blessed.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></div>

<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The journey to Iwo was a funny one. Yesterday was my sister's convocation and I had to find time out of no time to go celebrate with her - am a busy man you know.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And so as we journeyed: my three cousins, my grandmama, my self and the driver, we met officers on the road. I had seen them from afar and I wasn't sure this driver of ours' had a driver's license and the 'likes'. And then we reached the check point. I looked at our driver as he boldly retrieved a twenty-naira note from his pocket and slipped it into the officer's left hand.<br /> 'Safe journey oo,' the officer yelled grinning.<br /> I sighed where I was seated beside my three little cousins.<br /> 'So these adult officers too do collect money?' My Grandma asked shaking her head.<br /> The driver laughed loudly and said,'Everybody wants to eat Mama.'<br /> That is right, everybody wants to eat. The question is: 'Does everybody care whether the source of the food is right or not?'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
No one said a word after that, we all kept quiet until we approached our destination. Then we met officers again. (permit me to use that word) But these ones were working for the University and so we passed without dropping a kobo.<br /> 'Why did this one not collect money?' my little cousin asked looking at the officer as we passed as though he had done what she had never seen any officer do before.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
'Because he is not corrupt. And what they are collecting is not 'money', it is called ''bribe'' and it's illegal'. I said firmly. Better these little ones know the right thing now before they take everything as normal<br /> 'Bible?'<br /> 'No, not bible, BRIBE.' I corrected my cousin.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And then I asked myself why should the officer not collect bribe? Then, I asked myself again, what if the officer refused the bribe, what would we do? Obviously, our driver did not have the required 'particulars', and so we should be happy that the officer collected our 'chicken change, shouldn't we? After all if he had rejected the bribe, perhaps we would have been delayed and then probably miss the interesting part of the convocation program. So I was thanking the officer in my mind for collecting the bribe.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And then something struck my mind: how many drivers were ready to submit their particulars for checking? How many even have?</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And so that's where the problem starts: You don't want to the officer to collect your money, but you are not ready to do the right thing. Imagine, an officer stretching his hand for the usual Muritala Mohammed and you hand him your particulars, what will happen?<br /> 1. He will be surprised.<br /> 2. You might be delayed 'unnecessary'.<br /> 3. The officer might still find a way of collecting a larger amout, maybe by demanding to see your fire extinguisher or something. He may eventually collect Ahmadu Bello or Nnamdi Azikiwe.<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">But the thing is, if you have all the required things, you need not fear.</span></div>

'He who does no evil needs fear no evil'<br /> They stretch their hand, you hand over your papers. They tell you to park, you concur. They ask for everything, you give them more than 'everything'.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

right? But I tell you unless you are ready to do all these, then you are not the different from the uniformed guy by the road. Not only is collecting bribe wrong, giving it is also wrong.<br />

"Shall the hungry pride even the happy band?<br />
Shall the hungry hyena ever envy the cow of his grass?<br />
Shall the righteous ever envy the evil of his wealth?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">In the extract above, the poet is passing a
very important message. And what is it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">
When I was in college, I made up my mind not to be involved in any form of
examination malpractice. However, whenever we had exams, I saw many of my
fellow students cheating. This used to annoy me, and I used to feel like
exposing them. That's not bad anyway. Now here is the bad part. When the
results comes out and I see those cheating friends of mine getting better
grades and higher scores than me, I envy them. Now that shouldn't be.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">
In the extract above, the poet makes us to understand that no matter how hungry
a pride (a group of lions) is, they will never envy the band (a group of
monkeys). Why? Because they know they can't do what the monkey is doing to get
filled. Monkeys are herbivores, and they eat mainly fruits. The lion on other
hand is the king, and he feeds on flesh. Now imagine a scene where a monkey
enjoying himself on the top of a tall tree, eating bananas and then a young
lion searching the jungle for meat sees him. You can't expect the young lion to
beg the monkey for banana or to be envious of the monkey. It can never happen.
Yes, the lion is hungry and the monkey is enjoying but he is getting his
enjoyment from bananas. Mere bananas! That, to the lion, is junk.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Same applies to us. If you see a thief buying
goods shoes, latest cars and beautiful mansions, you must not envy him. Why?
Because the source of his wealth is evil. Most of those colleagues of mine who
cheat during exams pass excellently. Sometimes, they get better grades and
higher scores than I do, but still I must not envy them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">
Here is another extract from the concluding part of the same poem:<br />
"For when the monkey reluctantly receives his reward,<br />
Not even the dying cub will covet his couch.<br />
For when the wicked is being visited by his wickedness,<br />
Not even the righteous beggar will beg for his
bread."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Did you see that? The poet is telling us that
'when the wicked is being visited by his wickedness,' that is when he is
reaping the bitter fruits of his labour, not even the poor beggar will beg for
bread from the wicked. Why? Because he doesn't want his own end to be like that
of the wicked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><br />
So my dear friends, when you see people getting right
answers through the wrong methods, ignore them! No matter how hard the process
may be, go through it. You might get there late, but I can assure you those you
will meet there will be lamenting because the right answer without the right
methods leads to destruction!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"> Now let's
answer our poet's question:<br />
"Shall the hungry pride ever envy the happy band?"<br />
NOO</span><br />

Fear can only be confronted with courage. In life, a time will come when you
will be afraid of so many things: failure, death and even the future. Being
courageous does not mean all these won't affect us. However, it means when they
came, we will deal with them with maturity and make the best of them. As they
do say, courage is not the absence of fear, it’s the ability to utilize fear for
your own good,</span><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

physical, pain will come, it’s left for us to deal with it -just like fear.
However the thing with pain, especially the emotional ones, can land us in the
wrong hands. When we feel pain, perhaps because our hearts have been broken, or
because some things haven't turned out as we wanted- we should not make
ourselves vulnerable to deception. During these painful times, we are always
ready to take anybody who is able to console and sympathize with us as friend,
which is wrong. Perhaps you've heard the story of Johnny. Johnny went for an
exam and his failed. He got frustrated and wanted to commit suicide. Then this
good looking guy, saw him and advised him against suicide. Then the guy
encouraged him to prepare harder next year. Johnny was grateful. Then the
brother told him to walk him to a place while they keep talking. Johnny
concurred and ended up in an ‘occultic’ lair.</span><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">.<br /><br />You know, it's not
every time we open our mouth to contribute in every given discussion.
There are times when contributing in a discussion shows that you are not
who you are supposed to be - you lack dignity. We all ought to be
reserved to an EXTENT.<br /><br />Similarly, it's not every time you listen
to what someone is saying. Why? Because sometimes they speak corrupt and
filthy words that would do you no good. As much as I would not want you
to say such things, I also do not want you to hear them.<br /><br />Sometimes,
when am in a gathering, someone will just clear his or her throat and
start what he or she calls a 'good-gossip' (No such thing exists). Do
you know that Mr. A is this? And that Mrs. B is pregnant for Mr.Q who is
the brother of Mr.A, the boss of Mr.B? Do you know that Mrs.B wants to
abort the pregnancy and that blah blah blah!!! What's your business?<br /><br />Some say they are learning from these people's mistake. However, learning does not mean you should start analysing all what other people have done wrong. When such discussions are going on and I find myself so unfortunate to be there, I take my leave. I tell myself, 'I don't want to be involved.' And I go.<br /><br />Why? If I cannot contribute to the discussion, can't I listen? You might ask. Am sorry, you can't. These discussions might sound sweet but they are not in any way edifying and what they do is corrupt your mind. Remember, what you HEAR, READ and SEE make up what you meditate on. If you spend the whole day listening to gossips about the pretty girl next door, then you'll go back and lie on your bed thinking about her. If you spend quality time listening to gossips about how bad your president is, you'd go back and meditate on it afterwards - most times not because you want to but because your mind is filled with such things. Can you now see why you need to take your leave when neat discussions are turning to gossips?<br /><br />Perhaps you are even the one initiating the 'environmental gossip' in your neighborhood. You take a chair and sit in front of your house, until Mrs. B and Mrs. P comes to join to join you (joblessness) and then you start the gossip about Mrs. F who has travelled to Europe with a fake passport. And then you see Mrs. F who is</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">supposed to be in Europe coming, and you quickly switch to Mrs.X and gossip away your time, turning your veranda into a conference room.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4CSwFg1Eqei2zaataXfz732s0_75ebJ3Uqi3_yhFvZwdL-9a8aCOUR7LqC5F7rlUHM6bmGVcfhSwI6PfSyO5H3WgZgHHZtYZcJVHG1i1LnehuQLZEWRBSEbMLzy5vF-W42V0ocz9ikmNn/s1600/Picture1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4CSwFg1Eqei2zaataXfz732s0_75ebJ3Uqi3_yhFvZwdL-9a8aCOUR7LqC5F7rlUHM6bmGVcfhSwI6PfSyO5H3WgZgHHZtYZcJVHG1i1LnehuQLZEWRBSEbMLzy5vF-W42V0ocz9ikmNn/s320/Picture1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Think! What do you gain after the gossip? Before are few reasons why you should keep quiet and take your leave:<br /><br />1. You don't see anything good in the person you gossip about - which makes you completely blind.<br /><br />2. Even if the person is as bad as you say, you do not find a way of reaching out to the person so he or she could change - which makes your 'good-gossip' quite useless.<br /><br />3. You waste time and gain nothing at all.<br /><br />4. it’s a shameful thing to do - disgraceful if you ask me.<br />Yes, because when the subject catches you red-handed, you look stupid and idle.<br /><br />So what do I say? There is nothing beneficial in gossip. Stop it!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Every day, we make
decisions, no matter what because, a decision not to make a decision is a
decision.<br />
Analysis has shown that people who make decisions promptly and definitely, and
change those decisions slowly tend to succeed than those who make decisions
slowly and tend to change it quickly.<br />
As an individual who wants to be successful, you have to possess the ability to
make decisions by yourself, because, majority of people who fail are those who
are tossed around by the suggestions or opinions of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Friends and even relatives, when not always meaning to do so, sometimes confuse
or hinder you through suggestions or talks which are meant to bring humor.<br />
Most people get discouraged from the pursuit of their goals when they start
sharing it with people. Sometimes it is better to keep to yourself some things
you are pursuing because you may not know those that are jealous, or some that
will even discourage you without knowing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
If you want to be able to make decisions PROMPTLY and DEFINITELY, you have to
decide to talk less, but keep your eyes and ears open and also think more.<br />
I want to tell you that you have a brain and mind of your own given to you by
God to use so don't leave them idle, use them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Finally, remember that you don't only pay for the decisions you make, you pay
for those you refuse to make. So make up your mind this moment to be able to
make decisions of your own without fear and discouragement.<br />
Thank you<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">There had been no power
supply in the community for two days and that night, the whole community was in
total darkness. It was that same night that Chief Loko returned from a business
trip to Lagos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">‘What?! Darkness in my
house? Bring out my generator!’ he ordered his servant who obeyed immediately
and in a minute, Chief Loko’s house was lit up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">When everyone in the
community saw light in Chief Loko’s house, they were astonished. ‘Are my eyes
deceiving me?’ each one said to the other. Then everyone holding a candlestick
went to Chief Loko’s house to charge their lamps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">On getting to the house,
they spoke with the servant, ‘Please, if we have found favour in your sight,
grant us permission that we might come in and charge our lamps.’ The people
said, all holding candlesticks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

he can grant you permission.’ The servant said and went to call his master.
Loko returned in rage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">‘Did I buy the generator
for you?!’ he yelled pointing at the running generator outside.’ Am I the one
who brought misfortune to your family? You better clear off now before I lose
my temper.’ But he had already lost it. The people fell to their knees pleading
with Chief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Infuriated, Chief Loko
returned to his room and emerged outside with a big cane which he used to chase
the people away. As the people fled, one of them hit his foot against a stone
and fell and then another tripped over him. As they crumbled to the floor,
their candlesticks fell and caught the generator wire. Chief Loko didn’t see
this and went on beating the people. They all disappeared and Chief Loko
returned to his room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 25.68px;"><br /></span>
1. Choose friends who will always encourage you to serve and
please God. That's the most important because Godly friends are always moral
but moral friends are not always Godly; there is a difference.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
2. Choose friends that have similar interests and beliefs
with you. Your friends must be compatible with you or else your friendship
might not go on well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
3. Choose friends who will add virtues to your life and
subtract vices. Your friends should be able to correct you when you are doing
something wrong. They should be able to help you overcome addictions and social
vices.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
4. Choose friends who will multiply your talents and help you
in building your dreams. You abilities can be killed by the type of friends you
keep. Don't have discouraging friends or else you will not do anything
profitable in your life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
5. Choose friends who don't talk too much. If your friend is
a talkative, you are likely going to be one. Why? Because when he/she talks,
you will want to say something and remember 'In a multitude of words, sin
abound.' Quiet friends are the best.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
6. Choose friends who will be able to stand for you in your
absence. You are sick or you miss a class and all your friends can't speak for
you, they can't say where you are then you've got no friends.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
7. Choose friends who will be proud of you in the public.
When you mention someone as your friend and people start to move away from you,
then you don't have a friend yet. Remember, people look at you through the eyes
of your friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Mother hen had 10 chicks.
She hatched them all the same day and they all enjoyed the same motherly care.
However, as they grew up, they all became different in nature. Some big, some
small. Some lazy, some hardworking. Some noisy, some quiet. Some rude, some
respectful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Among all the chicks,
mother hen cherished a particular chick that was very (small though)
hardworking, respectful and quiet. This particular chick always went with
mother hen to search for food. Her name was Casillos, or as mother hen would
call her; Casillos the asset.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And it happened one day
that Casillos was taken away by a very wicked hawk. This was unbearable for
mother hen. She wept all day and refused to eat, C<span id="goog_530580732"></span><span id="goog_530580733"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>asillos was a fortune to her,
an asset. And so she begged the parrot to tell the hawk to return Casillos. The
parrot did as mother hen asked her and the wicked hawk returned the next day
with Casillos. However, she asked for another chick in exchange for Casillos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">On hearing this, all the
other chicks went into hiding. But mother hen, determined to get casillos back
fished then out and brought them before the wicked hawk. Then mother hen took
Papillo, the biggest, most disrespectful and laziest chick and gave her in
exchange for casillos. Being big, the hawk liked Papillo and she took her away
and dropped Casillos. As from that day bon, all the other chicks were as
hardworking and as good as casillos. One cannot say when the hawk will return.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

liability. Casillos was an asset and mother hen was ready to give away Papillo,
who was of no good to her, to the hawk. Are you useful to your organization
that your boss can do anything to keep you? Are you useful in your class/dept.
That your teacher will not let you go no matter what? Are you active in your
church that vigils can be kept if you fall sick? Finally, are you useful to
your family? Better be useful or else you’d end up like Papillo.</span></div>

good-looking guy but still he shouldn’t be your boyfriend. Not because he isn’t

touch you or even kiss you but since you have made that mistake, don’t repeat
it. Also, don’t give him sex. If he loves you, he should wait until you are old
enough. My daughter, please don’t give him sex. To be safe, don’t spend time
with him again; no long discussions, no love letters and the likes. Am saying
this for you safety. If you don’t give him sex, he might want to rape you so
distance yourself from him. Teenage years are not for sex and snogging, there

that. Relax, I didn’t reveal your identity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cleric. Mum I don’t want you to send me to the cleric for special prayers
again, I can be raped. I read a lot about young girls getting raped in churches
and mosques. Bisi, my friend was raped last week at Pastor Kamilu’s place. Same
thing happened to Aisha while learning the Arabic language at Mallam Shehu’s
place. Honestly, am scared know if I tell dad, he’ll just snap at me and tell
me am secular. Mum please don’t send me to him again. Am still a teenager I can
get raped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

know you don’t want to hear anything about Davis but please don’t tear my
letter. I love Davis and he loves me too, why shouldn’t he be my boyfriend? I
don’t like the way you and dad see him. Besides, I’ve been trying to convey my
fears to you all this while but whenever I mention his name, you shut my mouth.
Mum, Davis has been touching sensitive parts of my body these days and I don’t
know how to tell him to stop. Last week we kissed-don’t know if that’s bad- and
now he’s asking for sex. Mum, what do I tell him? I love Davis and he loves me
too but am still a teenager, I can get pregnant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Similarly, my teacher. Mum,
Mr. Bosun has been pestering me all this why to pay him a visit in his house. I
don’t know why. I know if I tell you this, you might think am making it up. Mum,
I can’t hold it back any longer. Yesterday, he threatened to mark me down in my
final exams if I don’t visit him. Mum, why does he want me to visit him? I
don’t trust him. There is something fishy about his request. But still, I don’t
know. Maybe I should just go and see what he has to say ‘cause am still a
teenager, I don’t want to fail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mum, some changes are occurring in my body lately. Two days ago, I was having
menstrual pain. Mum it was painful so I told my friends about it. They said
it’s because am still a virgin and once am deflowered, the pain will cease. Mum
is it true? I thought this virginity of a thing is what you keep for your
future husband. Please, am still a teenager, I don’t want to be misled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Long ago before the evolution of man, the animals lived together<br />
happily; mammals, birds, fishes and amphibians. The kingdom was such a<br />
peaceful and united one that they celebrated festivals here and there.<br />
One day the Lion announced that very soon there would be a Boxing<br />
Contest in the kingdom and the final winner would be awarded a place<br />
in the king’s palace.<br />
“So if you are interested, register with the parrot before tomorrow,”<br />
the Lion concluded.<br />
The goat, leopard, antelope, hen, sheep and many other animals<br />
registered for the contest. The ant also registered.<br />
“What are you doing here?” the parrot chuckled. “You are too tiny for<br />
this.” But nevertheless, the ant put down his name on the big scroll<br />
the parrot was holding.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmoNxC1BAoems_njt5QwhyWJ7ayJ4r-FhqqqheBChwXna0HFw8TxeSBFaFFL9E5RYQhc2dC6nFutojbZ1_1_gxIFSbAtTs3SVJJJ-hpJCV2TQ5y19N7J3F2Dx2QZCOSyE_X27Zy4YUEYvB/s1600/ant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmoNxC1BAoems_njt5QwhyWJ7ayJ4r-FhqqqheBChwXna0HFw8TxeSBFaFFL9E5RYQhc2dC6nFutojbZ1_1_gxIFSbAtTs3SVJJJ-hpJCV2TQ5y19N7J3F2Dx2QZCOSyE_X27Zy4YUEYvB/s1600/ant.jpg" /></a></div>
The contest started a week later. It was scheduled for mornings and<br />
evenings and one by one the animals were being eliminated.<br />
Surprisingly, only the antelope and the ant made it to the finals<br />
which was scheduled for the coming week.<br />
“Both of you should go and prepare yourself for the final match.” The<br />
king advised<br />
<br />
During the days of preparation, the antelope busied himself with<br />
purchasing the best boxing materials that were available in the<br />
kingdom: gloves, armours, mouth guards and the likes. He even borrowed<br />
loans from various animals when he went bankrupt.<br />
<br />
However, the little ant started training himself. He went to every<br />
animal in the kingdom and challenged them all to a contest, one by<br />
one. Though he was defeated by some of them, he learnt new skills and<br />
developed his pincers.<br />
<br />
When the D-day arrived, the antelope appeared with gloves, armours and<br />
materials which he didn’t even know how to use. And then the fight<br />
started. The antelope was a good boxer but all the materials he put on<br />
weighed him down. The armour was too heavy, the gloves weren’t any<br />
better and worse still he had never used them before. Eventually, he<br />
was defeated by the ant who made use of what he had: pincers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyaEtUvDaf5QW4FV_cAztcCAklZjsck_wjL1YjXidhi-QPnbz9OSQDgDJNYbXUskAAMJxIoh4UZEig3irP39aeiAxUzyTIWEYUarPLkDDkjfCueeTZHvjkj9zbzqXvZ5F99UEDxSTnxhtV/s1600/antelope.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyaEtUvDaf5QW4FV_cAztcCAklZjsck_wjL1YjXidhi-QPnbz9OSQDgDJNYbXUskAAMJxIoh4UZEig3irP39aeiAxUzyTIWEYUarPLkDDkjfCueeTZHvjkj9zbzqXvZ5F99UEDxSTnxhtV/s1600/antelope.jpg" /></a></div>
<b>LESSON</b>: Why was the antelope defeated? Because he didn’t get himself<br />
prepared. Preparation is a catalyst to success. No matter the amount<br />
of money you have; no matter the fame; the material possession you<br />
possess; you still have to get yourself prepared for the future.<br />
Whatever it is that is coming up, if you are prepared then you are<br />
ready. Despite the antelope’s gloves and everything, he wasn’t ready<br />
and so he was defeated. Even though the ant didn’t have much, he still<br />
won the contest because he was prepared. Acquisition of wealth or fame<br />
doesn’t really mean you are preparing for the future, it doesn’t. The<br />
little you have, how are you using them?<br />

you have to read this (remember everybody is a student) perhaps the fact that
any or all of these are missing in your life is the reason you are not a
high-flying student. The following are secrets of high-flying students:</span></div>

be surprised, brilliant students paly games often. Educational games like
Chess, Scrabble, Jigsaw, Monopoly, and Backgammon are favourites of high-flying
students. Wanna be a great student? Play games! Balance the fun with the work.
Games help you think and allow you to exercise you brain in a way nothing else
will. They even allow you to test your skills. However, not all games are
beneficial to the brain so know the type of game you play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

don’t mean sleeping like a log of wood. Brainy kids sleep very well though.
Why? Because they need too. As much as I don’t want you to spend your entire
life sleeping I also don’t want you to spend it working. So balance the
equation. Rest your brain and body, sleep when you need to, it helps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

why I put this as my last point? Because it’s the most important! All the other
four without this can be a waste. High-flying students read books and when I
say books I mean books (not only textbooks and class notes) of every kind. Magazines,
newspapers, novels, historical books, name it! This allows them to widen their
knowledge beyond class level. It allows them to know what their teachers don’t
even know. Aside magazines and newspapers, I’ll advise that you read at least
24 books a year (for a start); two per month.</span></div>

Every individual in life is striving to be a leader, and we try all<br />
our best possible to be that leader, but before you become that<br />
leader, you have to be a follower.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFROGNso6X6Xw9gndhYLzKv4JTw7nmZ41Za3Mur2gnr8q2HUUoPGsrXBsasGgnLCXB0BKPi6ePELG5ziC53dIEBi0k-m5wn6FQ1ZqcyGI8S1Refemx89_VhlLBosZgQ6DORnm_SwZJuMLY/s1600/LEADER.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFROGNso6X6Xw9gndhYLzKv4JTw7nmZ41Za3Mur2gnr8q2HUUoPGsrXBsasGgnLCXB0BKPi6ePELG5ziC53dIEBi0k-m5wn6FQ1ZqcyGI8S1Refemx89_VhlLBosZgQ6DORnm_SwZJuMLY/s1600/LEADER.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
NOTE: It is not a bad thin to be a follower, but it will be worse for<br />
you if you remain a follower.<br />
Before you become a leader or even if your are a leader now, I will<br />
like to just point out few out of many leadership qualities you can see<br />
in God.<br />
1<b>. FAITHFUL</b>: as a leader you have to be more than faithful to<br />
whatsoever is committed into your care.<br />
<br />
<b>
2. TRUST</b>: this is somehow related to been faithful. You mush not<br />
betray the trust your followers have in you.<br />
<br />
<b>
3. LOVING</b>: God is Love. To be successful as a leader, you have to love<br />
your followers unconditionally, because if you love them, you will not<br />
cheat them, you won't lie to them, e.t.c.<br />
<br />
<b>
4. DEFINITE PLAN & DECISION:</b> as a good leader, you have to have a plan<br />
that will not waver, and when you make decisions, you must abide by<br />
it, because followers won't want a leader that doesn't have something<br />
to stand for.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikj9YHSDL4oO8mcQ72c_umUgXqPkJwB4weCU2deMGNAFR97Fkhhe-QrHQBYynqjXtg_a1Dlx9jPIW5DB_EDMUFeM_dP36zCtangvnzUNnbgXf-Xuytn9gjdWH9D4wTkBXJH9ywd3gNyniR/s1600/DOG+SELF+CONTROL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikj9YHSDL4oO8mcQ72c_umUgXqPkJwB4weCU2deMGNAFR97Fkhhe-QrHQBYynqjXtg_a1Dlx9jPIW5DB_EDMUFeM_dP36zCtangvnzUNnbgXf-Xuytn9gjdWH9D4wTkBXJH9ywd3gNyniR/s1600/DOG+SELF+CONTROL.jpg" /></a><br />
<b>
5. SELF-CONTROL:</b> as a leader, you <b>MUST</b> be able to control every aspect<br />
of your life, this will go a long way in your achievement. Because you<br />
won't be able to control your followers if you can't control yourself.<br />
Lastly, before you reach the level of a leadership, ask yourself these<br />
questions;<br />
Am I a good follower?<br />
Am I a wise follower?<br />
Do I do as i want my followers to do to me when I become a leader?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If the answers are negative, then you have to change, so as to attain leadership post, because, trying to bring others down only shows you<br />
are down, and it won't take you up.<br />
Keep the fire burning<br />
Keep the dream alive<br />
Thank you.</div>
