I recall dad telling me about a man in my
neighborhood who became popular for engaging
in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of
the Honda Prelude. You wouldn't buy that car
for N70,000 today.
I Remember as a kid, my whole street gathered
to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite
dish to my neighbor's house. Today a dish one
tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is
in almost every student hostel room. What about
the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V
booth, 505, all overtaken by Camry, Honda
discussions and range rover? .... Vanity.
A friend declared drinks for the boys because he
just launched the Nokia Communicator for over
a hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone
would embarrass the owner and is a joke
compared to the low cost and everyday phone.
What about the MTN Sim card that many people
went extra miles b4 they bought it for over
N40,000 today it's being sold for less than
N150.
People are still making the most amazing
sacrifices over the 'vainest' of things, make
enemies over worthless material things even
resulting to killing. What can I say? Look back at
that one thing you want to kill or die for today
and see what becomes of it tomorrow. Slow
down with the sense of attachment and blind
pursuit of things, for today's 'gold' is
tomorrow's 'copper' Yes it's good to have
money.....please make it a good one.
Take life with ease.

Jesus loves you.
