In my 3rd year ,my dad told me a month before he died that I should leave my life in humility, loyalty, integrity and that I should be commited to what I find my self doing. Surprisingly ,he came to visit me in school.

Another common he rings into my ear is"read your book, study else u will suffer"

I am in my finals now..I live by those words.
RIP dad.

That I should never join anyone in planning or ganging up against anyone in rebellion, as the end of all such people is always bad, irrespective of whether they were successful with the plot or not.

[color=#770077][/color]My dad once told me something that sounded ordinary and simple when I was about 16 now 34. He said to me: what ever you want to do, do it with maximum concentration till you are done. Up till today, I have not forgotten the manner, the situation, the height of voice which he said it even the time of the day when he said it. And this has helped me a lot!

mindworx: Me and my dad, we are not close. The first day i entered University, he took me there. Immediately i came down out of the car, he called me and said:

'Femi, In the school, you will find the library, and in the same school, you will see clubs. You are the architect of your life. I have paid you my dues. All the best.'

Consciously or not, that is what fueled me through.

As for my mum, she prays for me on phone every 1st day of the month.



Dammy Happy Birthday to you. You are now free to go near a boy.
LOL .THANKS THOUGHsmiley

When I was coming to Lagos.

From my grandmom: Never stand or sign as a guarantor on behalf of anybody.

From my paternal mom: Hard times is part of the making of a man.

Paternal mom: Do not take what doesn't belong to you.

My uncle: Good things do not finish.

My mum used to advise that I shouldn't listen to all the small small boys trying to chase me in the neighborhood. That the only thing the want to do is to spoil my future without offering any good thing. In her words " see my daughter go to school and by the time you graduate and have a good job, it is men with good jobs that will chase you". She will also that "by that time even if you want to wear long dress and make sure the slits reaches your hips so when you walk breeze will carry it and people will be seeing your pants". Literally it means that by that time with education you can afford your own things and not depending on this small boys to buy you aboki perfume.

She also added that as a woman that I should try to make my own money and sees a man's money as addition. Because tomorrow the man may decide to marry a second wife and stop caring for you and the kids. Then what will you do? To me then it sounds harsh but today I thank God for it.

(My Dad RIP. When I was leaving the village going to Lagos for the first time)

Remember any so call friends of yours, in that Lagos that you are going to, that says that you are stingy just because you are an Ijebu man are thief. Because if they are not trying to steal from you how would they have known that you are stingy. Never forget that. Classic lol

Everything but the grace of God eventually runs out. No matter how big anything is, it will finish someday. God's Grace however outlive all...


An advice from my mother to eventually stop me from stealing fried meat grin when I was younger, no one could protect fried meat from me. If you like kill me. Since pankere wasn't doing the trick, the true words were resorted to. I am now such a huge believer of the words that nothing can make me covetous.

My father: "Think for yourself", meaning use your brain and come to your own conclusions on things, don't be lazy and let others tell you what is what, investigate everything in life and form your own opinions from true knowledge, learn to overcome or adapt things by using your head, don't follow others because you are too lazy or unprincipled...at least that is how I took it.

Shameful that a child is so responsible that the parent didn't think further advise was necessary? Your definition of Shame is an assault on a normal psyche.
