IyaTola:
Nothing is Permanent In This World

I visited my 120-year-old grandmother and gave her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again.

That she can no longer buy or sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it.

I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a greenhorn PA. He was governor from 1999-2007.
Not too long ago, I saw him.

After check-in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight.

No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from the State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said,

"Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my daughter . Sit down let me ask you something.

How is your Governor doing?"

I also have a retired Major General friend whom I served as a golf caddy at the NDA golf course in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna.
He was so rich he built a beautiful house he was so proud of.

I visited him too not long ago and wanted us to climb to our favorite spot on his balcony upstairs.

He stared at me with a broad smile and said, "IT, I can't remember the year I went up there. It is lizards and cobwebs and the likes that live there now.

Even the kids, when they come, they don't enjoy my company in the house any more than a few hours and they are gone.

I don't have the limbs to climb up there again and the cost of cleaning keeps getting higher."

I have seen a lot more things.
How yesterday became the day before, how today became yesterday, and how tomorrow became today.

How the past became history, how the present became the past, and how the future became the present.
Nothing ever remains where it is.

Your strength, your muscles, your beauty, your wealth, your guts, your worth, your courage, your talent, your YOU, will progressively diminish until it returns to its source.

The richest man in the world in the 1960s will not be on the payroll of the richest man in the world today!

Even the strongest lion in the jungle will someday become weak, and frail and be eaten by the same predators it once terrorized.

Keep that in mind always and know that no matter how appealing and tempting that thing may seem, our interest in it will diminish with time.

Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!

"Nothing is permanent in this world".

Wishing you very Reflective Times.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!

One sighted.

Hope you too can clearly see that you lack manners.

And someone like you are those that I am actually referring to.

Imagine someone with such poor online attitude/manners as yours complaining of poor service

I can bet it that you yourself have never worked anywhere before where attitude is key.

Bunkbars:
Indisciplined? Lol, You seem frustrated about life. I hope you so called mum with all the discipline you claim she have, is at the same level with the bank staff, because if she is below. You are a frustrated mumu.

Bunkbars:
If she was your mother, i hope you would still type encourage this.

Bunkbars:
The girl who posted this on social media is very wicked and heartless jokes apart, i understand what the bank staff did was wrong, but she took this too far, She should have cautioned the bank staff to order, with shouting. She would be attended to. You kept quiet at the bank hall, just to come online to complain. Like seriously . If you shout and rake within the bank hall you must be attended to.

One thing I have come to learn in my many years in the service industry is that most Nigerians that can't tolerate poor service are actually people with poor character themselves.
I have had people that shunt cues in banks and supermarkets only for the same individual to start complaining again of cashiers being slow.
Nigerians are just too impatient most times.
I was not there, but I can bet it that there is no how in hell a banker can keep a customer for 30mins and be buying clothes, even her official break for the whole day is not more than 30mins (which I believe she is not even allowed to take at a stretch).

DontBullshitMe:
Why can't she express her grievances to the woman right on the spot? Challenge her and remind her that it's wrong to keep customers waiting while she attends to something insignificant.

Why the picture?

I still don't get. Open your mouth and speak up right on the spot.

membranus:
So what has Tinubu done to the Igalas which they won't forget? Pls educate us.

Racoon:
All these senseless just to whitewash a rotten sepulchre? Buhari is the worst leader as a military HOS, and democratic tyrant. He is a monumental disgrace to Major General title holders in the army as well as the humanity still existing in a 21st century world.

Sensitivity:
Nigeria will never forget you.
