A TRUE FRIEND

In life there are two kinds of friends, the ordinary friends who i term the ad hoc friends and the true friends which are priceless. True friendship cannot be built in a day, true friendship is a state of mutual understanding between two or more people. Friendship is built on the foundation of trust. If you can't call someone who you truly trust, then you have not yet found a true friend. This is why i still hold on to the old adgae that says:
    "A friend in need, is a friend indeed"
True friendship cannot be made, it takes a long process for friendship to be built, friendship is like a process.
Below are some major characteristics of true friendship:
When you are headed for trouble, a true friend lets you know.
When you are blinded by your emotions, a true friend tells you.
When it seems you are lonely, a true friend will stand by you.
When you have no reason to smile, a true friend will give you reasons to laugh.
When you feel frustrated and in distress, a true friend will bring out the best in you.
When you are having a bad day, a true friend will turn it to a good day for you.
When you fall on your face, a true friend will lift you up.
When you are hit by the stormy and rainy days, a true friend will be a sure refuge.
When others call you a loser, a true friend will call you a winner.
When no one seems to listen to you, a true friend will listen, understand and share your thoughts.
When you are struggling and the road seems tough, a true friend will lighten your burden and support you.
When you are in deep pain, a true friend will be a sure gain.
When you err, a true friend will forgive you holding no grudges.
When you succeed, a true friend celebrates with you.
When you are in need, you will know a true friend indeed.
When you are passing through hardship, a true friend will be a sure guarantor.
When you are discouraged, a true friend encourages you.
When the world seems to be against you, a true friend will be for you.
A true friend is the light at the end of a tunnel, the height of true friendship is sacrifice in love and harmony.
True friends are hard to come by, in my whole life i have never found a friend who sacrificed his life for my redemption, i have never found a true friend like Jesus Christ.

THE IRONY OF LIFE. Part II

The irony of life is that;
What is money without happiness or hard times without the people you love?
The more richer you become,  the more friends you attract, but the poorer you become,  the less friends you attract
The Devil you know is better than the Angel you don't know.
We all smile and dine with our enemies within who will later backstab us.
There is no second chance in the grave.
Time is the most valuable asset in the world.
What you think you have,  others have much more than you. What you think you can do better,  others can do far more better than.
Nobody is 100% perfect.
No one knows where the wind comes from,  neither do we know where it goeth.
If you want to test a man's true character, give him power and money.
True loyalty and trust can only be found among animals, take care of a cub and feed him from day one,  and that cub will never betray you.  But do same for humans and you will be shocked.
The truth can never be hidden,  it always unfold at the right time.
No matter the quantity of food we eat in the night,  we will still get hungry in the morning.
Sleep is a temporary state of unconsciousness,  while death is a permanent state of unconsciousness.
The IQ of a mad person outweighs the capacity of the body to handle the IQ.
Every great Genius that ever existed or is still in existence has a touch of madness.
The law of force does not permit like poles to attract,  only opppsite polls can attract,  so does nature does not permit like cells to attract,  only opposite cells can attract.
Ants and termites are one of the most smallest creatures,  but yet the most hardworking among all creatures.
Nothing good comes easy.
In Nigeria, when there was corruption things were good,  but when there is no corruption, things has turned from bad to worse.
A man experiencing poverty can never see the future.
This compilation still continues.................

THE IRONY OF LIFE

The irony of Life is that;
We all strive to get money and wealth, but yet we all die with nothing.
70%  of the world is covered with water,  and yet we still pay money to buy water.
Africa is richly blessed with natural resources,  but yet more than half of Africans wallow in poverty.
No matter how rich we are or become,  we cannot buy life.
Whatever goes up must surely come down.
Whatever man sows, He will surely reap.
All fingers are not equal,  all men are not equal.
Common sense is not common.
Money rules the world and not Humans
All men are mad and are civilised and social animals.
A genius has far more greater intensity of madness than an average man.
Even animals know the importance of opposite sex marriage unlike man.
Every good thing is a bad thing in disguise
Animals never work or struggle, but yet they eat far more than humans and survive.
Life is all about survival of the fittest
One man's food is another man's poison.
We serve,  worship and believe in what we have not seen before.
Man kills for his God,  but the question is, is the God too weak to defend himself.
We don't know where we came from,  and we don't know where we are going to.
Then the question is, what is LIFE?
Add yours to keep the fun going.

A Good Name

I believe we as Humans, we all fancy wealth, riches, enjoyment and living large. But is wealth and riches the most important thing in life? Many choose to be known for something bad,  some are known for corruption, some are known for violence and chaos, some are known to be knowledgeable and wise but non of these is better than a Good name. A good name is better than siver or gold.  Anywhere we are,  lets try to create good names for oursleves. Martin Luther King Junior made name for himself in his fight against discrimination and segregation, mother Theresa made name for herself through her charity work and her love for humanity, Nelson Mandela made name for himself in his vigorous fight against apartheid, A good name lasts longer than popularity. Someone with a good name tends to be influential and earn the respect and trust of people.
A good name is not easy to come by, it takes years of diligence and commitment, as well as our actions on daily basis.
A dying father once said to his daughter that all his life he had no money but he had something which was  far more valuable than money. The daughter who was so furious insulted her father and said: "while all your mates were making money,  what were you doing? " the dying father wept and died in agony. Years after his death, that same daughter went to a company to seek for employment,  on checking her CV,  the Manager asked her about the surname if she was in any way related to the person bearing the name,  and she reluctantly in shame said it was her father. Surprisingly the manager stood up and told her that her father was really a great man,  a man of integrity who was not after material things and that he lived his life helping and assisting others and that he was one of the beneficiary of his assistance. The manager immediately gave her a well paid job she was made a Director with an official car and house.  This girl wept and forever regretted ever insulting her dying father.
The lesson from this narration is that a good name can stand the test of time.
Make a good name for yourself today,  make a positive difference wherever you are and leave a lasting impression in people.  Your legacies will never be forgotten..

THE LIFE OF A GREAT MAN

The world was put into mourning on the 4th of june 2016,  when boxing legend and one of the greatest sportsman in history Muhammad Ali died after suffering illness. He was indeed a legend, an Activist,  a man with global relevance, He affected many lives through his wise words and he was a fore most fighter during the fight against racial discrimination and segregation in America. The world has indeed lost a great man and his lasting legacies will forever remain in our hearts.
The lesson from the life of this great man is that no matter who you are,  dare to make a difference,  be the best version of you and leave a legacy for those coming behind you.  Greatness is not attained in a day, it takes years of persistent commitment and diligence. RIP once again to a Global champion and icon.

It's so painful when you see many people most especially children roaming about the streets begging for alms in a means to survive, some even go round many dustbins in the cities, picking leftovers all in a means to survive and in this way, they expose themselves to dangers of diseases, some even suffer from malnutrition. It is so  in contrast that despite this wide spreading trend, you still find many wasting food, while others barely eat three square meals a day, we eat even up to six square meals a day, this is so bad because nature provided man with so much food and water that can go round everyone for generations to come, but the greed of man have made some to take so much out of the gift of nature without considering the other person or thinking about the less privileged.
Before you waste that food, think of the children on the street dying daily of malnutrition and hunger, you too can be in their shoes. Give to the poor and you will never regret doing so.
Let's join hands to wipe out poverty..............!!!!!!

The importance of team work can never be underestimated, just like the saying goes, " it takes two to tango". Though some people appreciate the importance of one man army or lone rangers, but it only takes a team for effectiveness to occur. That effectiveness and value can only be gotten when there is team effort and togetherness, it took a United States of America to become the world largest economy and most powerful Nation on earth, if the confederates and Union had not settled their differences, there would not have been a United State of America. Just as how good Lionel Messi o Christiano Ronaldo may be, they cannot function properly without their team effort or team work, it takes a man and woman to make a marriage and a couple.
Even in large organizations, team effort is appreciated because a team will bring better productivity to an Organization than a single individual, just as in business, a partnership or Joint Stock Company is more likely to make huge profit than a Sole Proprietorship or a One man business. Just as it is generally known, "no man can be an island" no man can know everything or do everything all alone. Even the United Kingdom is a Confederation of different States like; England, Ireland, Scotland, e.t.c. That is why they have acquired so much power and prominence in the world today.
Just as much as we believe in ourselves, we should also try to listen to people, pick ideas from people and learn to work effectively with people so as to form a formidable team. Because so goes the saying ;
" two heads are better than one" . In a team effort, no one takes the whole praise but the whole team. If Barcelona football club wins a cup, the whole team will be crowned and not a single individual.
In a team, we find the support, help, assistance of other team members, when we fall we are helped up by our team member, such is the importance attached to a team.
Form a formidable team today and become better and outstanding.
