Family › Re: Appearances Are Deceptive: Meeting Old Classmate By Ademola Henry Adigun by Afobear: 11:41am On Oct 30, 2019
[quote author= post=83580362]We had not seen each other for about 30 years. The Lord has been kind to me. When I saw him again - this time at a hotel lobby - he was looking simple. He wore simple Ankara attire. I felt touched. He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it. We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

I told him I will drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.

I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him - To show off my success and affluence to him, while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. “Fingers are not all equal”, I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

Two weeks later, we went to see him in Ikeja. My wife and I. She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We saw the Estate. *Wuraola Estate.* We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.

It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served. His wife called him Baba Wuraola

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the estate.

I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too.

I had learnt a lesson in humility - A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!

forgiveness:
How can it not be trash to an ethnocentric person like you?

It's even glaring in this your comment. Reason being that you think the Northerners occupied the seat of power because of major vote and not necessarily because they are better.

Can you please tell us what is fine about the mind of Zik, Ironsi, Obasanjo and Jonathan when they were given the opportunity to rule?

Did they turn Nigeria to elorado? Don't forget one even betrayed his master to death. Is that one a fine mind?

Like I said earlier, you are an ethnocentric person.

Yea i know the reason 4 not going with Grant but that guy is awesome. and am even more sad tom cavanagh doesn't get to play professor zoom/eobard thawne in the dccu. Isn't jason momoa convincing as an actor? Haven't watched any of his movies but people think he is okay though. Honestly i would've been glad if Affleck's friend, jason bourne actor was aquaman. Gal gadot wasn't given much to do in fast and furious i believe she can do alot if given the chance. About skinny, she is bulking up as i heard. Why wasn't The winter soldier believable? its my best film in the franchise along with thor 1. guardian of the galaxy to me is crap. i hate the movie. Avengers is over rated. i can't watch the movie again after 3 viewings to be serious whereas the dark knight stands the test of time. i've heard of fantastic 4 reboot but am not looking forward to it, seriously. antman is a generic movie. from the trailer, you'll tell its true. have you heard spiderman is coming to the mcu? i know its going to be another romance film with mary jane and gwen stacy all over again...

Disney is spending mega bucks trying to market captain marvel movie from being a total FLOP.

Do you know how much it cost to market on NYC times square? Disney dey fear after mary popkins huge flop at the box office.

If this girl flops, it will nail the final nail on the coffin of all other female hero movies. Well, I hope it turns out well at the end

D.C: Tell me, do you bleed? Marvel: (Fly down). D.C: You will. I had to borrow two hundred naira recharge card from etisalat, so I could watch the trailer on my phone. In addition, there is now an official trailer released on Youtube. The trailer is fucking epic. The dialogue is out of this world especially that lex luthor's line where he said “Now we know that devils don't come from beneath the earth, they come from the sky”. The god like respect given to superman is interesting and novel. Overall, I think this movie is going to be legendary. Damn! I can't wait for 2016 to see it. Am not going to wait for any torrent website to download it. I will go to the cinema to see the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice when it debuts. Bleep Marvel! D.C is here.
