Humble yourself and live a private life.... rich or poor but don't die being broke AND follow your heart desires
The heart of man is wicked
Is that same heart you want to follow?

Never to trust anybody...everyone is a betrayer until proven otherwise.
Not everyone is bad. there are good people likewise bad ones. just that the bad ones are more than the good ones. Trust, but don't trust too much, because we are all human beings.And they say" The only thing thats constant in life is change

One of my pt in his 80’s had slow onset dementia. One day he seemed more clear, was sitting outside on a sunny morning and I started asking him about his past. He looked at me and smiled, said he thoroughly enjoyed his life, did whatever he wanted to do but within moral grounds. He looked so happy and contented that my eyes teared up.

- Stop over restricting yourself people, the person you’re trying to model or live up to could be a sick devil. You absolutely absolutely do not know them lol
-Quick bursts of gratitude to God everyday is what actually keeps you
-You look smarter, more interesting and mysterious when you keep quiet
-If you haven’t been selfish, try being selfish today. You deserve it, you’ll love it
-Your peace of mind comes first


Finally....guess what this life is all about. YOU !! Who knows, your environment and people in it might just be simulations.

Never forget the following 3 persons:
1.who helped you out while everyone else was making excuse.
2.who left you in difficult times.
3.who put you in difficult times.

My lesson
Don't ever think your situation and location affects your destiny or prevent your destiny helper from locating you, hold God tight and work for him, be persistence and don't ever give up, help is on the way already and experience unmerited favour in your life

Thank you for this part

Due to some occurrences in the past year, I've made up my mind to be courageous no matter what happens or society I find myself.



Nobody gives a damn about you , every man will always think on how to prey on you. Even if you were dying , the little cash you got that could help to get drugs would still be taken away by people who have a lot of money . Your survival is not important to them. If you want to be successful, damn everybody. Set your goals and achieve them.

My greatest lesson is; Nobody owes me anything in this world, that's the reason i don't pin my success or achievement plan to anyone's promise.

I have also learnt to be patient. No matter how slow so far I am making progress that's acceptable to me.

My late Dad died reasonably established in the Nigerian context.

Before he died, he had to rebuild his favorite home after a sad fire incident. He ensured everything worked for his new age and life( his room was away from the road and noises, bigger, closer to his home office, just a door as he then had arthritis, more sockets because of new devices, etc.)

The Man died before the house was completed (just painting left) and was buried at the Backyard.

Long and short, life is fickle and our best plans are subject to factors beyond us.

My lesson at age 17(21 years back)...

Sometimes giving someone a second chance is like giving him/her the second bullet, since he/she missed the first shot.

God2man2again:
Some problems are not solvable, there are no solution to some challenges in life, even though you kill yourself, the problem will still be there.
Take Jesus Christ as en example, Jesus sacrificed his life for mankind, see what human beings are doing to pay Jesus back. They deny him. They call him unprinted names.

Do your best and leave the rest.

Don't put your mouth in everything, you cannot please human beings. Restrain yourself from talking .

Don't be to wicked or you get killed easily and don't be too good or too nice, people take you for granted and trample on you.

Stop exposing yourself on social media by celebrating this and that, enemies you cannot handle are monitoring you to harm you. If you can handle them by prayer, no problem, if not, you are exposing yourself to danger.

Disguise yourself while moving in strange places in the odd hours of the night to deceive the enemy.

Above all, especially if you an African man with Black skin. Never, I say, never joke with prayer,
Be a prayer addicts.

When you connect to God, you avoid some trouble although life is full of trouble.

May God help us.
Stop living in fear bondage

After my first degree, I find work tire no way, to worsen the situation, my elder brother I was staying with at the time relocated to a suburb making it difficult for me to keep in touch with people in town helping me with the job hunt.

Now there was this catholic church out station in the area, I became very active in the activities of the church, I was very active in the running on the church activities, helping the reverend father posted to the out station then, I became popular in the church, and after a while, the church made donations to build a bigger church and Reverend fathers house, I volunteered along with other youths, in the cite work, after job hunting, I will go to the cite from the house and start working there until the building was completed,

I was ignorantly working in the church building not knowing that people are already taking notice of my persistence in the work, one of the big shots in the church that is always at the forefront in bringing big money in terms of church donations, invited me to his house and offered me to manage his cyber cafe business in the town with free accommodation in one of his houses in town, Abuja, I lost words thanking the man, I started working in the cafe and within 6 months I was offered an appointment in government parastatals, with the help of one of my customer who always patronise the cafe and stay close to the company,

This is like a testimony, that's when I believe the phrase, when you work for God, God works for you, God is indeed marvelous

His grace has been sufficient in my life ever since then.

My lesson
Don't ever think your situation and location affects your destiny or prevent your destiny helper from locating you, hold God tight and work for him, be persistence and don't ever give up, help is on the way already and experience unmerited favour in your life

In short...
Create Value.Make an impact

Never use word of mouth to sign a business deal, even if it is between you and your blood brother.

Never put the loyalty and faithfulness of your partner to test using a friend who's got more money than you do.

There is no dignity in poverty.
