Prof. Osinbajo Helped A Handworking Typist Long Time Ago, Handwork Pays by Kayus4real: 7:42pm On Nov 14, 2017
According to a Facebook post from the Vice president of Nigeria, prof Yemi osinbajo which goes thus...



While I was teaching at the University of Lagos, as a young lecturer, in the department of Public Law in the Faculty of Law, there were 3 typists in the department. The chief typist, senior typist, and the
junior typist. Because in those days before laptops and personal
computers, typists in universities had to do a lot of work and they
were very important because you always needed to type all your
materials.

When there was work to do, what l discovered was that the chief
typist would disappear. He works only till 4 pm. The senior typist
would be nowhere to be found. But a gentleman called Adereni the
junior typist, who only had his school certificate, was remarkably
hardworking. Sometimes I would drop him off at his home at 1am.
Years after I was working as an adviser to the then Attorney-General of the Federation Hon. Bola Ajibola, who later became a judge of the World Court. While in the court at The Hague, in the Netherlands.

One day he called me and asked if I could recommend a good secretary who is hard working and could do long judgments. I had three options, chief typist, senior or this junior typist, but the junior typist at a time had only school certificate, he didn’t have any other
qualification but l choose him. He got to the Hague, and typically
worked hard and diligently. Every judge in the court wanted him to
work with them. He later moved his family over to the Hague and got degrees and made a good living for himself. One day he remembered me and actually sent me a car.

Hardwork may take long to bear fruits but when it eventually does you can be sure that the fruits will sure be sweet tasting and refreshing to the soul.
