You'd be surprised to hear this. But it's the brick layer. He works harder... But the senator worked smarter.
meaning that we should change the proverb to "Smart work pay".

Hard work doesn't mean being physically active BUT Being mentally articulate and active.

The Senator works hard by thinking out strategies and giving orders While the Bricklayer works hard by taking orders and physically running erands for the senator.

In all, HARD WORK PAYS, it all depends on how hard you choose to work
smart work pays not hard work

hard work do pay
everyone at the top work hard to get there , either by good means or bad one ,they all work hard

When you're eating, and a bit falls to the ground, don't pick it cos devil has eaten it

When you spit on the ground, cover it with sand cos you might have sore throat if someone else steps on it

Don't whistle at night cos it attracts snakes

Answering your name when you thought that someone is calling you is a taboo.

When you are walking and saw a drawn line on your way, don't cross it. Look for another way to pass. Your destiny will be destroyed if you do.

2. I will defeat Boko Haram within 3months in Office
3. I will create job to employ 3million, I mean 3million people per year (which kind lie be this?)
4. Fuel will reduce to 35naira

Abeg if you remember some of the lies, help me add yours.

How can you call your elders liars? The words of our fathers are words of wisdom a wise man hears them and become wiser.
Those stories where made up to keep you from certain bad behaviors. For example the one about whistles in the afternoon is just to keep your noise down to allow them relax.

Lie to maintain sanity is not a lie abi?
Wow, so most politicians are wise and not liars for making promise which will not be kept for us to vote em into power.


Keep up the good work oo
