SalamRushdie:
You cannot come here and say prices of food are crashing and I go to the village market and nothing reduced and yet you want to to keep quiet and praise y'all?

If the economy is good will I complain, if APC is performing instead of peddling lies will I complain?
Do you mean your village market? Have you been in the market in recent times?

Celebrities › How Many Friends, Classmates, And Relatives Have You Sent To Their Early Graves by duro4chang(op):
How Many Friends, Classmates, and Relatives Have You Sent to Their Early Graves?

You may never know the answer until you read this story.

"Dr. John Saka, thank you for attending my dad's wake. Always remember this, sir: you killed my father."

These were the exact words David used to open his appreciation speech during his father's wake. The room fell into a deafening silence, and every guest held their breath in disbelief. St. Bernard's Old Students’ members, including Dr. Saka was visibly shocked. The weight of those words hit hard, and the confusion on Dr. Saka’s face was evident.

For fifteen long seconds, the silence in the room was unbearable, each person wrestling with their own questions: How? Why? What happened?

David broke the silence, continuing with his speech:

"It is true that God gives life and takes it away, but sometimes, people—like Judas—play a tragic role in how death occurs. My father's trust and respect for Dr. Saka, who happened to be one of his best friends, led to his early grave. My dad didn't need your mourning today. He needed you to honour him while he was still alive by answering his calls. This is my father’s phone."

David held up the phone for everyone to see.

"The record of his call logs and WhatsApp messages is right here. Over the last eight months, my father called you 32 times. You answered only four times, each time promising to call back. On WhatsApp, he sent you 84 messages. You replied to only 22. Out of those, 16 were nothing more than 'Amen' in response to his monthly prayers and greetings. Out of the remaining six, on February 2nd of this year, you wrote: 'I'm not in the country; I'll see you when I'm back in two weeks.' You never responded again until June 7, when he sent you birthday wishes and reminded you of your promise to see him. Your response was, 'Thanks, my friend, I appreciate it.'

My father, trusting your medical expertise, held onto the hope that you would help him. On June 12, after reaching out to you, he told you he was very sick and needed your professional advice. You read the message that same day, yet you did not reply until July 21, when he messaged you again, saying, 'John, I'm dying.' Your response? 'Sorry, it’s been a busy week. Let’s see what happens next week.'

That 'next week' became two months. When my father sent his last message on September 2, asking why you were ignoring him, you replied: 'Sorry, my friend, I hardly have time for myself these days.' Six days later, my father died."

David’s voice trembled as he continued, "Dr. Saka, my father trusted you more than any other doctor. He believed you cared enough to give him the best advice. He stopped taking his medications, waiting for you to fulfil your promise to see him in February. Instead of telling him that you couldn’t be available, you kept promising later.' He waited for seven months. I know all this because I was the one typing the texts on his behalf. Every day, he would ask, 'Did John send a message?' On the morning he died, he said, 'I made a mistake trusting John, but why didn’t he help?' My father never got an answer to that question, but maybe, Dr. Saka, you can answer to others who may need your help in the future.
Thank you for coming today, though it feels like a belated honour."

At this point, David turned to the audience and asked:
"As a doctor, how many of your family members, colleagues, and old classmates have you reached out to, inquiring about their health without them asking?
As a lawyer, how many of your family members, colleagues, and old classmates have you offered pro bono services to?
As a Pharmacist, Engineer, Teacher, Nurse, Surveyor, and other professionals, how many of your family, colleagues, and old classmates have you helped for free?
How have you positively impacted people's lives without expecting anything in return?"

David paused and added, "If you haven't been doing this, please start today. Surprise people with help. It brightens and elongates life."

Tears flowed down Dr. Saka’s face, and many in the hall wept as well.

LESSONS FROM THIS STORY:

1. Never ignore calls or messages from friends, classmates, colleagues, or family.

2. Don't assume you know why someone is reaching out; you may not understand their need.

3. Remember that God is the true helper; we are simply messengers.

4. Be humble enough to admit when you can’t help.

5. Do not keep anyone waiting for help if you can not deliver it.

6. Help others when you can—it is a privilege, not an obligation.

7. Always remember, no one is irreplaceable.

Let us not be the cause of someone’s despair, or worse, their early death. You may not be able to save everyone, but failing to respond when you could have might send someone to their grave. Reach out. Help when you can. You never know how much of a difference you can make in someone's life.

He was not straightforward. He dribbled people here and there. He would tell people he was going to the south and people should meet him there but he would eventually go to the far north.

Psalm 83[a]
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not remain silent;
    do not turn a deaf ear,
    do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
    how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
    they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
    so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

5 With one mind they plot together;
    they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
    of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
    Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
    to reinforce Lot’s descendants.[b]

9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
    as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor
    and became like dung on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
    all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us take possession
    of the pasturelands of God.”

13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
    like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest
    or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
    and terrify them with your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
    so that they will seek your name.

17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
    may they perish in disgrace.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—
    that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Despite the country having only 334 million citizens, a discrepancy of more than 60 million.

Corruption na ya mate? Corruption does not know race, religion, creed or tribe. Corruption is bad.
