Sometimes u just have to cut off some people from ur life because there no need to stick with people who will hurt, use, dump u even family members. I did it and it helped. That's one thing that life has taught me. #positive vibes....

It is okay if you feel the need to cut off people you feel you don't need in your life. I have a different experience.

It's a cold world, you can't afford to stay warm... If you do, they will eventually sap the warmth out of you. Why waste energy staying warm?

it makes me cry when I hear people talking positively about their family.......mine is a different case..........I knew not the joy of a family.....Is it because my parents are no more?. Sad mood activated

Early 2000, I was working in a very known bank, my branch was somewhere far in the north.

One faithful day, a typical hausa man walked into the bank on a busy Monday morning, he appeared a lil dirty with babariga, nicker and bathroom slippers; he walked to a staff and spoke in hausa language.
Hausa man: How can I open a pocket to keep money here? (in hausa language)

The staff he was talking to understood what he meant, but most bankers sabi form fake levels (I don't do that), The first staff he met wasn't an hausa by tribe but understands and speaks hausa well, the guy just directed the man to another lady(staff) who was from the western part of the country, he directed the man to her not to assist but to have a share of the fun.

The hausa man said the same thing in hausa to the lady
"How can I open a pocket to keep money here".
She burst into laughter uncontrollably and pointed to another lady for him to go and say the same thing to her, I noticed this thrash from my desk and walked up to the man while he was walking to the third person he was directed to.

I greeted him in a traditional manner and with smiles, I asked how I can help him, he responded in hausa, and from that moment, I communicated with him in hausa.

He said the same 'pocket' thing to me and I ushered him to sit on the guest seat at my desk.

I got him a cup of tea from which I also seaped.
He later opened up to me that he wanted to 'keep' 10,000naira in the bank.
I showed some excitement and said YES, it's a good idea, but I will appreciate he 'keep' more than Ten thousand.
To cut the story short, this same man made an initial deposit of 7million naira that morning, but I made sure that the first staff he met was the one who carried all the boxes of money from his car into the bulk room (while I wan doing this, the man smiled, gave me a thumbs up sign and pinched my ear) two days later, he invited me to his house, I met his wives and children (two of which were Masters student in the UK) and one a college student in US. I later left with another 4million cool naira to 'keep' for him.
This man later had several hundreds of millions in his 'bank pocket', which were in my care.

We became family friends, he was so connected to the who-is-who in the state; I used his influence to get jobs for 4 of my family members and 1 friend, all in FG establishments.

But, he forced me to remain in the bank, each time I get better offer. He told the regional manager that he will withdraw all he has in the bank once his brother(na me be dat oo) leaves.
So, that made the bank to increase my pay speedily even b4 due time.


Believe me, when someone walks into the bank with a well starched native and tailored suit the person might be a begger. Same goes the other way round.

We all learn everyday, our parents have tried, we should build on the basic training/lessons they gave to us.

Never trust a man. No matter how perfect they may seem lol.
Life owes you nothing. Don't get angry when someone who does less achieve more. Life is never fair.
Never rely on anyone.
Always choose to be happy with or without anyone.
Enjoy life....work smart....travel and love.

Nothing rids you of appetite like picking up the pieces to your heart after someone's splattered it across the walls. But be mindful, you absolutely should not starve yourself; it's destructive and won't make you feel better.

Never trust anyone, ppl disappoint.
Be a good friend and value good friendship
Be careful whom u hurt, no one knows tomorrow.
In life its everyman for himself... Survival of the fittest.
Live a life of no regrets by doing your very best in anything u do.
Family is everything, no matter what always stand by ur family coz frnds may leave u when the going gets tough but ur family members are stock with u, whether they lik it or not.
Never let anyone be the source of your happiness.

All that glitters are not gold
Too many holy holy will miss heaven
Heaven will be a great surprise to many
Do the little you can do and leave the rest for God
We are only but caretakers on earth, we own nothing
The rich even cry more
No one without a problem
Life is all about activity
Be the real you
No hurry in life
Others first
Be honest

Life has taught me that never procrastinate; it's a bad habit and kills dreams and makes laziness a friend and invites failures and unhappiness unknowingly.
