*AJÉGBÖRÒ**AJEGBORO left Ibadan to Lagos in search of greener pasture. He chose to be carrying loads on his head at Oyingbo market to earn a living.*Few years after, he bought a cart from his savings and this eased the pain of carrying loads on his head for commercial purposes. The Cart also increased his income and he wasable to acquire 6 more of its kind which he rented out to others.*Exactly 8 years in this cart pushing business, Ajegboro bought a van which many called BOLEKAJA and learning how to drive, he handled the business by himself. 4 years into the Bolakaja business, Ajegboro had been a proud owner of 6 Vans.*Being a bona fide Ibadan son, AJEGBORO built a gigantic building at OJA OBA where the Olubadan Palace is situated when it was time to put a roof on his head.*Many people at this period approached Ajegboro to show them the secret behind his success. He simply asked them if they could carry loads on their heads in the market to earnincome? And their response had always been NEVER.**"ENI O LE SE BI ALABARU L'OYINGBO, KO LE SE BI AJEGBORO L'OJA OBA"* is a replica of the adage also in Yoruba land that says;"ÌSASÙN TI YIO J'ATA OBE, IDI A KOKO GBONA. ( A pot that wants to consume a palatable soupmust have it bottom burnt with fire first).In Life, to endure is to achieve. No short cuts is sustainable. Wealth is built over time in a smalland persistence way.*Do have a productive day!!!*

God created the donkey
and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,
you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."

The donkey answered:
"Lord, I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is too much. Please give me only 20 years"
God granted his wish

Then God created the dog and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend. You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years. You will be a dog"

The dog answered:
"Lord, to live 30 years is too much, please give me only 15 years"
God granted his wish

Then God created the monkey and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.You will be amusing and you will live
20 years"

The monkey answered:
"Lord, to live 20 years is too much, please give me only 10 years."
God granted his wish

Finally God created man and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth. You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals
You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years."

Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live only 20 years is very little, please give me the 30 years that the donkey refused, the 15 years that the dog did not want and
the 10 years the monkey refused.
And so God granted his wish

And since then, man lives
20 years as a man, marries and spends 30 years like a donkey, working and carrying all the family burdens on his back.
Then when his children are grown, he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him
And when he is old,
he retires and lives for 10 years like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

That, is Life.!
