This Will Make You Think! by WiseCollins(m): 8:38pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
Eight months ago, she was a minister in Africa's most
populous nation and the president of OPEC making her one of
the world's most powerful women alive.
Today she is begging the cold hands of death to spare her life
from the grip of cancer.
Seven months ago he had won the biggest soccer leauge in
the world as manager of one of the world's most talked about
football teams.
Today he is jobless and the butt of the cruelest of jokes in the
sports world.
He was released after 1year to serve a 4year house arrest
term for culpable homiside of his model South African
girlfriend.
Then suddenly, on December 3rd he was convicted of murder
for the same action by an appeal court
On Saturday afternoon, he was leading the polls to be
governor of his Nigerian middle belt state. By 7 p.m. he was
pronounced dead by the doctors.
And so the stories of Diezani, Mourinho, Oscar and Audu
remind us of what effect the snap of a finger can have on our
lives and how unready life can make us look regardless of the
insight and work invested into securing tomorrow.
While there is enormous stupidity in living recklessly under the
umbrella of "One Life", there is a want of wisdom in believing
that tomorrow is guaranteed as a result of individual struggle
and will. Even the so-called "son of God" disagrees with that
notion, teaching that you prayed for DAILY bread and let the
anxiety over tomorrow be.
No excuse at all to be planless for even ants are not that
senseless but please appreciate the gift of grace that you have
nothing to do with. In the words of Nigerian comedian, Basket
mouth : "if you think say na by your power you dey wake up,
set alarm clock for the head of dead body".
Dear blessed and privileged reader of this message, let
humility and gratitude greet your everyday approach to life and
never mix confidence for a better tomorrow for arrogance in
its certainty from self will. 1 Like |

I couldn't agree any less. Though I beg to differ on the Mourinho issue. Nice piece anyways. |
