For my dad: be aware that your younger ones are looking up to you. Any step you make they follow. FOR MY MOM: be careful on the type of friends you make because bad friends corrupt the good ones and that my future is bright .I should never pay attention to girls.

(As she pulls one of my ears)"Remember the Son of whom you are" of course in my local dialect.
That was very helpful. Each time issues cropped up in the school then, I pull my my ears and echo her phase into myself.

I've got a friend, we were in Secondary School when he lost his mom, being the only son she really did a lot to make him happy. He told me then that one phrase his mom used after shouting his name to call his attention especially when he is "busy" with his video games was "shey I'm calling you now and you're there playing your video game, okay o. Carry on." and those were the first set of words that got to him, when she passed on. He regretted not giving her enough of his time and attention, back then he told me "Alex, if my mom was alive now and called my name once I will answer and run to her a thousand times."

He asked me to pay attention to mine. I'm asking you to pay attention to yours.

ummmm... preacher alert :-/

Be prayerful.... Never be in a rush, & always ask God for wisdom.

My Dad once told me: "If you want anything done , do it yourself", when I was relying on one of my uncles for my computer training tuition.

1. Pikin wey dey 4 e mama back no know how journey far.
2. As u make ur bed, so u will lie on it.
3. He who goes a-borrowing,goes a-sorrowing.
4. Na so I dey do, na so I dey do, I too sabi talk, pikin tell e mama say her teeth rotten 4 public.
5. What will be, will be.
6. These men out there don't Hλ√ǝ anything to offer you.. Be content with what u Hλ√ǝ.
And so on...
These were words from my mom and they went a long way to mould me into who I am today... May God Bless Her Soul...

DAD:
1. Don't ever count yourself out of the game, even if your boots are off.
2. Don't tell yourself you can't do a thing before you even try.
3. Forgive. Move on. Most people simply do not know any better.
4. Mathematics is simply 4 symbols, +,-,x and /. Now write them down. Now step on that piece of paper you wrote them on! If you can write them, they have no power over you!
5. You have no business competing with anyone but yourself. Be a better you than you were yesterday, or else you're a failure.
6. The day a man slaps you, come back home. You are worth more to me than any bloody bride price.

MUM:
1. Love a man with sense. Unless its your children, don't pour all your love on him.
2. Always keep a bank account just for yourself.
3. You don't need designer clothes. Just some Omo and an iron.
4. Shop at Tejuosho, but wear your clothes with a V.I. attitude...head high, shoulders back!
5. Keep testing me eh! One day, you will be a mother and I'll laugh at you when you complain about how badly your own daughter is behaving!

My Mom will always say...''telling someone I am sorry'' will never take anything away from you and will go a long way in solving a big problem that may arise.

2. Never get up from bed without praying.

my late parents, God bless their souls... my dad's words: always be focused and realistic about life, and yea always save extra cash for the rainy days...dont be a lavish spender...and pls for christ sakes, always rainy day...

my mum: dont ever rely on any man's words....be self reliant and hardworking

God bless both, amen.

From Dad:

Make sure of whom who will married, and if possible never divorce her. But definitely don't ever marry two wives or more otherwise you are only looking for trouble.

My father used to tell me whenever i went to see him in our hometown that i should not trust anybody expecially friends. He said i should put my trust in God. There was a day he stood up and went to bring small Yoruba Bible, he said ' this is the words of God, in it you can found wisdom and understanding. Make sure you read it every day and when you get to your shop always read the book of psalm.

That Bible is still with me now though my dad has died.

Tunde, Ti Won ba bi e da, lor fu n omo kan loyun... ile iwe e tan niyen....

Meanin : Tunde, if dem born u well, go give woman belle now... no school for u again.. coz 1 naira I no go give u.

this made me so emotional.

show appreciation to whatever that is given to me no matter how small it is

my dad is my greatest motivator; he make of angry.

My mom always tell me to always have the fear of God in me anywhere i find myself and knw that God is watching my every move...My Dad? None that i can remember.

Take things easy. Its only when there is life that there is hope. Dafa Dutse ka sha romon. Wahala ba ya kashe mutum. Komai mei wuchewa ne

My Mum is my wisdom...she will call my name.........my son always pray
My Dad a year before he pass on told me "stop coming to village when you come around only go and see your mum" even when the two of them were separated from marriage I never understood why he was saying this until years after......so miss him

my dad always tells me "fear women"

Evathyst: Lyk seriously? Hide him on top wetin?

Your too young to understand.

amnestylaw1:

Thank you for this story. May we not lose that which we value and may we value that which we have.

You are welcome! Amen!

My father always talks about being contended with what you have and don't look at other people's things

My mum is always about being PRAYFUL,straight forward and truthful. Because EZI AFA KA EGO
