Whoever said good words said at the right time do not heal. It will be hard to believe that Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh was once very down with clinical depression to the point of considering suicide, as she today unleashes words of encouragement and inspiration to people. Today, the mother of one wrote on two important management lessons she learnt from a motivational speaker, who based her lecture on N500 note. Continue to read what she said…


Two important management lessons i learnt from a 500 Naira note.

1. It happened some time ago but . I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a 500 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 500 naira note?"

Lots of hands went up. Including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!" I began to wonder who the lucky one would be who the speaker would choose. And I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too ) why he would simply give away 500 naira. Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the five 500 naira note from his hand. "Well done, young lady," said the speaker into the microphone.

"Five Hundred naira!" the crowd yelled in unison. "Right," said the speaker. He then took the note and crumpled it into a ball and asked "How much is it worth now?" "Five Hundred naira!" screamed the audience. He then threw the note on the ground, stamped all over it and picked up the note and asked one more time: "And how much is it worth now?" "Five Hundred naira!" was the response. "I want you to remember this," said the speaker. "Just because someone crumples it, or stamps on it, the value of the note does not diminish. We should all be like the 500 naira note. In our lives, there will be times when we feel crushed, stamped over,Beaten. But never let your

That's not originally from her, someone else wrote that. She's just posting what someone else wrote.

A big lesson. Being down in life is actually an opportunity. It makes you know those who truely cares. it makes you see life differently. it is actually an oportunity for new openings

Tonto dikeh make small sense.... Not bad

Life's lessons are oftentimes gotten outta d classroom.

So becuase Tonto Dikeh posted this overused and stale illustration of #500 Note on Instagram, that's why it's Front-Page worthy instantly. Hay God will save us from mediocrity and stereotypes.
