Many years ago, a newlywed young man was sitting on a couch on a hot, humid day, sipping frozen juice during a visit to his father.
As he talked about adult life, marriage, responsibilities, and obligations, the father thoughtfully stirred the ice cubes in his glass and cast a clear, sober look on his son.

"Never forget your friends," he advised, "they will become more important as you get older."

"Regardless of how much you love your family and the children you happen to have, you will always need friends. Remember to go out with them occasionally, do activities with them, call them ..."

"What strange advice!" Thought the young man. "I just entered the married world, I am an adult and surely my wife and the family that we will start will be everything I need to make sense of my life."

Yet he obeyed his father;
Kept in touch with his friends and annually increased their number. Over the years, he became aware that his father knew what he was talking about.

In as much as time and nature carry out their designs and mysteries on a man, friends were the bulwarks of his life.

After 50 years of life, here is what he learned:

Time passes.
Life goes on.
The distance separates.
Children grow up.
Children cease to be children and become independent. And to the parents it breaks the heart but the children are separated of the parents.
Jobs come and go.
Illusions, desires, attraction, sex ... weaken.
People do not do what they should do.
The heart breaks.
The parents die.
Colleagues forget the favors.
The races are over.
But, true friends are always there, no matter how long or how many miles they are.

A friend is never more distant than the reach of a need, barring you, intervening in your favor, waiting for you with open arms or blessing your life.

When we started this adventure called LIFE, we did not know of the incredible joys or sorrows that were ahead. We did not know how much we would need from each other. Love your parents, take care of your children, but keep a group of good friends. Dialogue with them but do not impose your criteria.

biafra the nigth mare of enemies of development,we refuse to be in the same cycle for years,and keep recycling nothing to show as a country, shame to all that want one nigeria,shame to our legislators shame shame shame shame

And the wise Igbos are working hard to have Nigeria Igbo president in 2019

Thanks for this op, I asked for it and u provide it. God bless u.

Meanwhile Only Buhari is the president that made/makes his vice relevant since 1960

Tunde Idiagbon and Yemi Osinbajo.

Imagine a president using the same official car with his vice.

God bless Osinbajo

God bless Buhari

God bless all Afonjas

God bless the Arewas

God bless Nigeria Igbos

To hell with Biafra - Igbo

Seems there is other meaning for Ruthless in op dictionary, I don't know y u tag The great Gadaffi ruthless, the man that increase the level of his citizen Education, gave them almost everything in free . which among d so called western Word presidents can do that?

Oyinbo like to paint us black because of our skin but since we r gullible we admit it.

and What makes Abacha ruthless?? Economy was gud in his tenure, no high rate of embezzlement like today's politics then Nigeria is able to get almost all the fund he embezzled back to the system , I didn't see him killing innocent souls except those that against him which anybody can do ( I stand to be corrected) .

Head office has not been easy for a non management staff in some companies hence some staffs prefer to be in other locations so they can engage in other activities apart from their primary assignment.

For those working in Head office, why do u prefer working there and what are the challenges you are facing?

Those in branch offices, what are those things you are enjoying apart from freedom And what are the challenges your encountering ?

Let learn from you guys.

Olu20090:
Afonjas looking at this post like this. In afonjas mind " we have been waiting for this and you want to spoil our sophistication move". Afonjas want Osinbajo in to empty the treasury and channel 50% of Niger Delta oil money to develop Yorubaaland. God will never allow this to happen!

u don't want Buhari as president , u still don't want Oshibajo

what's your problem pls?
