WHAT A LIFE WE LIVE
According to Wikipedia This is the garage of the Second
Nigerian Senate President Prince Nweke Nwafor from 1960
to 1966. I vividly Recall the story of a man 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 50k today. Some other guy brutally murdered his
brother ( whom their father gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose
of re- stocking their warehouse), just cos he wanted to
acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same
vehicle is now better described as a coffin. I Remember as a
kid, my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very
large satellite dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish
one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in
almost every student's room. What about the Volkswagen
Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505Evolution, Toyota Crown,
all overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti,
Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity... Vanity! Some ladies left
their true loves cos some rich guy then persuaded them with
a Benz 190, which turned out to be the only car they ever
owned till date. They found out too late that true love is
invaluable. A friend declared drinks because he launched the
Nokia Communicator for over hundred grand in 2002. Today
that phone would embarrass
the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and
everyday phones. What about the MTN SIM card that many
people went extra miles before they bought for over 30k,
today you will not buy it at N100 because all networks are
begging people to even take it for free. People are still
making the most horrific sacrifices over 'vanity' and make
enemies over worthless material things. 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. There is absolutely
nothing you can't achieve. All you need is a little time and
PATIENCE and you would thank God without regrets. There is
actuallynothing in this world that is worth dieing for,
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Meditate on this…

Nothing in life is worth fighting for. Your best clothes is someone's rag,your account balance is someone's donation at a function, your girl friend/boy friend or fiance/fiancee' is someone's Ex. Every single prostitute you see in a hotel or on the street at night was at some point in time a virgin. So what is the squabble all about? Life is too small to feel bigger or better than anybody. We're all naked to death says Steve Jobs. Nothing can save us from it. I hate to see people who Brag about wealth, beauty, intelligence, level of education, fame and material possessions. There's nothing you've achieved in life that no one else has never gotten. There's only one thing that is worth bragging which is "BELIEVE IN GOD ALMIGHTY". SO BE GOOD TO YOUR FELLOW MAN AND ALWAYS MAKE FRIENDS. Always remember that the people you trampled upon on your way up a ladder will be the same set of people you're likely to pass on your way down, so cause no problem for others because if you do, they'll become your very problem one day. Finally, even banana stems will one day become dried leaves. 2 Likes |
