You still have a phone or computer and data to type all these so you are not poor. Be honest, be truthful, be hardworking and focused...Life will smile back at you. Like Ogunde once sang, no matter how bad things are, faith will shift things after a decade. So, I have noticed that in every 10yrs, major things would happen in one's life. Be ready and be prepared like Boys Scout.

That's a big observation

You have a very good topic, but you don't know how to bring out its meaning for conclusion, you talk here and you talk there,it lacks coherent,

I could have written more than that, my heart was just full of so many thoughts

You see, maybe life is luck. Or maybe life is effort based. I made most effort to do big things related to electricity, music and even football.
I was really good at football and almost made it.
If I had known I would have sticked to football and ignore chasing university education

Now I'm matured and when I look back, I see all my mistakes. I see the things I would have done differently. It breaks me to know I can't change the past so I try hard not to think about it.
I am scared of being poor or in lack. Unable to solve basic problems most especially the ones that require financial attention. I am scared of being poor, but I find myself drifting towards that state. I'm really afraid of the future. It feels like prayers are not a guarantee that things will work out.

I see men walking around in Ankara and looking dejected. Some sitting on a bench in groups unemployed. Some looks like they've accepted their fate. I heard one say "wealthy is for the brave, people who are dead hearted".. I always held that saying in my heart for long.

The older I get, the more I understand why people participate is some certain crimes. So much responsibilities to meet and few opportunities materializing

Sometimes! E go be like say my head wann blow

So I started to ask questions. Why are these people poor?
I don't want to be like these people when I grow up.
I want to be rich and then I started praying to God that I wanted to be rich, have a family and take care of my kids.

As I grew older, the realities of life started to surface. It felt like the whole world was against me academically, financially and even spiritually.
It took me a while to gain admission.

During that phase, I started to get into one problem or the other. I didn't have money and I couldn't afford anything. I saw my few of friends graduated from the University when I gained admission into 100 level

I saw myself becoming what I always prayed to God I didn't want to become. It got so bad I thought about joining a bad gang.
Then at a point, I wanted to go and learn Barbing, hair cutting.

Then I remembered I told God I didn’t want to be doing what poor people where doing that they never became rich.

I am writing this out of fear and out of being inquisitive. People that are poor, why are they poor?


I didn't grow up in a rich neighborhood. My estate was mixture of civil servants, government workers and petty traders. Everybody relying on each other for one thing or the other

But as time went on, I started to observe other kids saying and some times telling me I'm from a rich home.
Of course, that was their perception since they are oblivious of the struggles my family faced always waiting "for end of the month".
And never enough money to last a whole month.

As time went by, I started being conscious of people looking scrawny and wearing just one type of clothes with less colour. Dry looking skin, feet and wearing palm sandals.

I didn't like that kind of dressing so I always wore a white canvas mum bought for me meant for church. I also used to wear one I acquired from my brother by "rite of passage"🤔

When they see me, they always stared at me and even laughed at me that I was wearing a fine canvas. I tried to explain to them that it keeps the skin dust free and neat nails. These people call me Ajebutter.

It didn't make any sense to me. Why would you laugh at me for wearing something good? I felt we should always try to solve a problem when we observe it... Instead of thinking we are strong and exposing the skin to harm

I was still a kid but it gradually became obvious most of these people were poor.

We are normally skinny in Africa due to hunger
Everybody is a model

Last Friday, I walked past a mosque and the imam was clamouring about heaven and how important it is to go there.
Weeks ago, I was listening to a Christian sermon on the TV and they were talking about how it's important to leave sin and put heaven in sight

But when there is an event that can lead to death, the preacher runs. Infact, the preacher, talks about how they saved people from I'll health and even bring people back from the dead.

Aren't you automatically denying them a time to go to heaven? If heaven is the goal, a city with earthly gold, a place where many women will be waiting for one: food on left and right... Why do those preachers NOT want to go?


and why will such unique place be built with earthly gold? Things that can be found on earth?
How come the designs are describeable by human conception?

There should be better stones or matter than gold that can be used to build those heavens.
Imagine if there was electricity before the BC.
I bet they would say heaven was designed in electromagnetic currents

If heaven is waiting, it's most definitely NOT what humans can comprehend

Everybody wann go heaven but nobody wann die

All towers belong to God. Those who abuse their stolen mandate have forgotten that God is no man to be mocked. At the fullness of time, the Almighty will show his hand and the coughing masquerades of today and their enforcers will be put to eternal shame. All powers belong to God.

The towers is really high

Atleast he is doing his best by acting.

That's much better than Imams praying in mosques and pastors praying in church for terrorists to end instead of facing them

May the best man cross the line and win.
