Obviously, your enemies always tried to put you down, making you independent, being which is a key to success.

So don't worry.

Generally an enemy means someone who doesn't want you to progress or live so that If you know him, you'll try hard to remain vigilant and meticulous.

In that case if you are vigilant and successful and things don't work better for you, perhaps you're the most unluckiest person on earth. Or perhaps you're doing nothing about your enemy.

Knowing this kind of people, you can track whether you're succeeding or not. Who? Your enemies.

As evidence, when everyone is happy when they see you, it is clear that you're not progressing in life. In other words, progress and they'll smile and we all know such wicked smile which further reddens their hearts.

Do you think all those people who smiled and congratulated someone when he returns from NYSC camp are truely happy?

First thing to remember, let's be very careful with telling them our success story, being close to them, collecting their money and eating what they give us. Evidently, almost 92% of negative effect of jealousy shown in Nigerian Movies is really happening on daily basis. Therefore, the more you try to be careful, they more successful you become.

In the morning Sara May tighdied the room in one of her husband's father's houses in Jos town, prepared breakfast and began peeling potatoes. In the afternoon she took lunch from her husband's mother and started watching Nollywood movies until evening when she set about cooking dinner. It is important to realize that her husband was in his final year of undergraduate studies for which he stopped his teaching work with a private grade and secondary schools. While she worked as a contract messenger with federal government, collecting a peanut, she helped in supporting the family. She was also active in a very small scale farming in town. Significantly, in 2016 she harvested over 60 measures of maize, 15 measures of soya beans and 10 measures of local beans.

In the begining, in 2012, Sara was still learning how to knit as an aparentice from her teacher, Theresa Brook, in her residence when May was still teaching with St. Lessing Private Secondary School. Shortly, Theresa employed May to take her daughter, who was in Grade 3, English extra lesson at home. May would then teach her and other JSS 2 students French at St. Thomas Schools in 2018. One day, in 2012 May invited Sara to pay him a visit at home and she did and then often since that day. As the result, after a few months she became pregnant and married him.
