Loyalty
During a prank, a student stuck a paper on his classmate's back that said "I’m stupid"; he asked the rest of the class not to tell the boy.
Thus the students began laughing throughout the day... Shortly afterwards, math class started and their professor wrote a difficult question on the board.
No one was able to answer it except the bit with the sticker. Amid the slight laughs, for he didn’t know why, he walked towards the board and he solved it, the teacher asked the class to clap for him and remove the paper on his back.
He told him “It seems that you don’t know about the paper on your back that one of your classmates put and the rest of them kept it a secret.”
Then the teacher faced towards the rest of the class and said “Before I give you a punishment, I will tell you 2 things: Firstly, throughout your life, people will put labels on your back with many bad things written on it to stop your progress.
If he had known about the paper, he would not have gotten up to answer the question.
All you have to do in life is ignore the labels people give you and use every chance you have to progress, learn and improve yourself.”
“The 2nd thing is that it’s clear that he does not have any loyal friends among you all to tell him about removing the paper. It does not matter how many friends you have, it is the Loyalty between you and your friends that matter."
If you don't have friends who can defend you behind your back, who can watch over you, protect you and who genuinely care about you, you are better off alone.
To the person placing the label, that word you said against the other person to one person may cause a lifetime damage to the person, Don't place tags on people that will destroy someone when it will not build you.
Think about it!!

The Unjust Feeling of Entitlement
The Unjust Feeling of Entitlement
By Adedara Oduguwa PhD
“Adedeji just came back to Nigeria from Los Angeles where he had lived and worked for 20years as a cleaner and menial labourer. His friends Tayo and Jelili were so happy to receive their childhood friend who at 45 is yet to be married and have kids.
His last twenty years has been full of struggles, denials and self sacrifice. He told his friends;
‘ you guys don’t know what God has done for you. Look at you people, you have your own houses, wives, children and everyone in the community can easily identify with you.
Unlike me, many people do not recognize me, some even called me baba London. No wife, no children, no house and no one would employ me at my age, except I start a business. I have lost so much to my 20 years odyssey. I have lost my early life to hustling.’
Adedeji travelled to the United States at age 25 in search of greener pasture. His two friends, also 44 and 46, were professional accountant and lawyer respectively. Deji sold his house in LA and relocated to Nigeria for fear of old age, royal inheritance (being a prince), family and his love for his people.
Although, he has lost all his early life to ‘struggling abroad’, he still came back with 85million naira, his life’s savings. Deji believed he could build a house, start a business, marry a woman and start life all over with this money.
Adedeji called his friends and explained to them his plan to start a new life in Nigeria. He also declared he had 40million naira cash with him. His friends confirmed, ‘with the huge amount, you won’t have any problem starting all over.’
A week after, they took him to a property at the GRA in their town, the property goes for 25million naira according to Jelili who has been bargaining with the seller. Seeing the property, Adedeji loved it and paid immediately.
It was on their way home that he met with Tomi. Tomi is a Nurse at the State’s Teaching Hospital. She’s tall, beautiful, curvy and jovial. They started talking and the rest is history.
As times goes by, Adedeji realized he is left with 2million naira from the 40 million naira declared to his friends earlier on. What happened?
On the very day he declared 40million naira to his friends, his Accountant friend came back at night to ask for a loan of 5million naira. Deji, a simple and generous man asked what the money was for. Tayo said he had collected a bank loan to build his house 5 years before that period and if he didn’t pay back by next week, he will lose the house.
‘Ah!’Deji said.
He dashed him 2.5million naira. Tayo was amazed, he thanked him and left joyfully. The second day, Jelili came with his wife and children crying, he said his wife has been diagonised of breast cancer in the previous month and now the doctor is saying if she’s not operated in the next one month the family would lose her.
Adedeji became very afraid hearing this. He asked ‘how much are we talking about? Your wife won’t die when I am here. God forbid!’
‘2.5million naira’_ Said Jelili.
‘How much do you have on you.’_ Adedeji asked
‘ We have used the money on us to buy drugs for her.’_Jelili submitted.
‘Oh, no problem.’ Said Adedeji
Adedeji wrote a cheque of 2.5 million naira in Jelili wife’s name and handled it to them. They were so happy and prayed for him before they registered their leave.
Adedeji family members didn’t spare him as well, they will come with one problem or the other which he usually absorbed. However, what is amazing is that everyone wants his wristband, wristwatch, shoes, jackets, trousers, sun glasses, and necklaces. It is as if they want to run him naked.
In the few months of his stay at home, Adedeji had spent 38million naira and dashed out almost all his belongings to relatives and friends who had suddenly become beggars.
He has a small diary where he kept daily expenses. Out of the 38 million naira spent, he had only spent 25m naira (for house) and 2.5m naira (purchase of car and upkeep) on himself. The remaining 10 million naira have been spent on other people.
Adedeji called his friends and asked for the way forward. Since he needed to start a business. He had only 2m naira left.
His partner, Tomi has been continuously disturbed by her friends to ask Adedeji to buy her a car. Tomi was a great woman who believes in hard work. She felt she would buy herself a car in due season and should not be a liability to the poor man.
Everyone around Adedeji without planning it wanted to ripped him apart. His mother who is living in a house built for her by Adedeji is also complaining that he’s not doing enough for her.
Adedeji is getting tired of too many demands from friends and relatives in just few months of his stay at home. It is now glaring that if he doesn’t stop dolling out money to people as usual, he would soon become wretched.
In one afternoon, a guy who also doubles as a Plumber working in his property called him on phone to advice him about his relatives and friends. In is words:
‘Egbon, you are a nice person I know, but please trust no body. Do you know after Mr Tayo padded the house price with 5m naira, I do not expect him to still be among the people that will be saying evil about you. Even egbon Jelili lied that his wife has breast cancer to collect 2.5m naira from you.’
‘What are you talking about?’_Asked Adedeji.
‘Well, I know you didn’t know that the property was originally sold for 20m. It was egbon Tayo that added 5m naira to it. He said you are a very stingy person and if he doesn’t add anything to the house’s price, he won’t get anything from you. He also said for the 20 years you have stayed in the US, he didn’t owe you 5 kobo.’
‘Are you sure of what you are saying? Are you sure young man?’ _Adedeji asked angrily.
‘Sir, please calm down, this is Nigeria o. I am saying this because on my way to work this morning I saw him with brother Jelili and two other guys, I don’t know. They were talking about a business for you or so. I didn’t know the exact thing, but I heard of them talking about their own commissions.
Sir, all I want to say is please be careful and don’t tell anyone or act in anyway that would make your friends to know I said anything to you. Our people are very dangerous. Money is hard to come by this days and people would do anything for money. I don’t want to lose you! Have a nice day Sir.’ _The guy dropped the call.
Adedeji was flabbergasted, he could not believe his ears. His best friends have turned against him to be his worst enemies. After all he had done for them and their families.
In the next day, his friends came as expected with two other guys, the guys said they own a Quarry in Abeokuta that worth 5m naira and would love to sell to him because they were prepared to relocate abroad. They estimated the Quarry to originally worth 20m naira but because they needed cash they would like to sell to him at 5m naira.
Adedeji asked his friends about the deal. They said they have confirmed it and it’s so real. That it’s even unbelievable that the guys agreed to sell at that rate.
‘Well, since I came back from the States I have been thinking of a business. I think I like this one. However, Tayo and Jelili are aware I only have 2m naira left on me. And I will have to maintain myself too from the money. I don’t think I have enough to buy your Quarry this time, I am afraid.’
Tayo and Jelili oared, let’s talk to this guys in camera, we will get back. Few minutes later, they came in and said the guys had agree to collect 1.5m naira. That he could pay the remaining money once income starts coming in.
Adedeji at this point was able to link what the guy told him on phone and what is playing out. He told his friends;
‘if I want to buy this Quarry you guys will have to help me raise 3.5m naira. And we will have to pay this guys once and for all. There is no how 1.5m naira would be enough to process US visa for two people.’
He then turned to the guys, ‘please go. I have your numbers, I will call you tomorrow on the deal.’_He submitted.
The guys left. His friends told him they have not even eaten since yesterday and they have also been thinking he could help them with some money.
Adedeji looked at the two of them, sobered and asked them never to come around him again. ‘You are traitors and wicked.’ They both denied the allegations but Adedeji made them to write statements with the police that they will not come around him again.”
The question is, what was Adedeji’s offense to his friends, relatives, and his community?
Over the years, I have seen how we unreasonably dupe and ungratefully exploit Nigerians in the diaspora. We have this wicked spirit of entitlements. We act as if money grow on the streets of London, Tokyo, Paris, New York and others. We are never just on these hustlers. Yet, we sleep 18hours in the 24hours that makes one day. While our brothers and sisters work-out their asses almost 18hours everyday.
A Londoner will send a phone to you, you will call him and said ‘I don’t want this phone you sent. I want IPhone 11 max. My friends said this is too small for my level.’
If you have levels, why are you depending on another to buy you a phone? What is wrong with you buying yourself your desired phone? Shior! Stop living the life of an ungrateful beggar!
When an Americana comes home, we want to collect everything he/she is wearing and leave him naked if possible. And at times, when they are naked, we also want to end their lives. Evil lives in our heart and mind. This has to stop!
How many people in the diaspora is not stingy to you? You don’t have a job, yet you drive a fine car, wears fine cloths, shoes and drink three bottles of beer daily, all because you have been asked to help build your brothers’ house. Yet, he’s stingy, this has to stop! No one owes you a dime. If you want money, work for it.
If you ever made your way to Europe or America you will know that Nigerians in the diaspora suffers more (racism, cold, self-denial) to be what they are, than you living in the comfort of your country and home. We have to be grateful for any penny these people are willing to send home.
God bless all Nigerian hustling abroad.

An elderly man went to a hospital for his routine medical check up. When his Blood Pressure was taken, it was a little lower than 100/70.
The doctor on duty who was awestruck picked up the result and looked at it over and over again for about 10 minutes, and said, “Sir, this is unbelievable! You have an incredible BP. Does it mean you don’t go through any stress at all? What’s the secret?”
The man smiled and said, “this has been your colleagues’ question overtime. I have always told them that it was a gift from God, which is correct in actual sense. But let me tell you what has been making that gift work.
I can’t wait to know the secret, the doctor interjected.
“When I was young, my father taught me that if I want to overcome negative S, I must embrace two positive S.
The doctor who was eager to know those S interrupted him again. What are the negative and positive S, Sir?
“The negative S includes: stress, sickness, sorrow, suffering, etc. My dad said, if I could manage stress, I won’t have much health challenge. I later discovered he was telling me the truth as I embraced his two positive S. The man paused.
I hope no problem, Sir? The doctor asked.
“No problem, doctor. I remembered my glorious dad of a blessed memory. He was a great man, doctor.
“The positive S includes: Smile and Silence. Smile can solve problem and Silence can avoid problems. To achieve this, you must:
“Select the right people to travel with you in your journey of life at all times and make your life sweeter.
“On deity, choose the Almighty God. Thereafter, if you fail to achieve your dreams, change your ways, not your God. The trees change their leaves and not their roots.
“Stop looking Sideways when you are emotionally distracted. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.
“Sayings of people should not work you up. Even when haters see you walking on water they will say it’s because you can't swim. If you like, dance on the water, they will accuse you of raising dust.
“Start to live a quiet life; mind your own business; and work with your own hands.
“Social cleanliness rule is, never wrestle with a pig. Though, both of you will get dirty, but the pig enjoys it.
“So, knowing all these, I always Smile and keep Silence. That’s the secret!”
“WOW! In my entire life I have never met a man like you. I want to see more of you. Now I know that greater lessons are learnt outside the classroom, the doctor concluded.
Stay blessed.

Local flight to resume June 21st
After several weeks of airport closure to curb the spread of coronavirus, the Federal Government has asked the aviation sector to prepare protocols leading to the resumption of domestic flights from June 21.
The National Coordinator, Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Sani Aliyu, during a press briefing on Monday in Abuja, said such protocols should include physical distancing through a reduction in passenger capacity and provision of hand sanitisers by airlines.
“The aviation industry is requested to start developing protocols to allow for domestic flights to resume anytime from June 21 onwards.
“Airlines must ensure physical distancing by reducing passenger capacity and ensure the provision of sanitisers and personal protective equipment as well as carrying out temperature checks at the point of entry and departure and ensuring that airports are not congested by either travellers or airports staff,” Aliyu said.
One of the measures adopted by governments worldwide when the COVID-19 pandemic began was the closure of airports to both domestic and international flights, as air travel was one of the ways through which the pandemic spread faster. For instance, the coronavirus index case in Nigeria was an Italian businessman who arrived in Lagos in late February aboard a Turkish Airlines flight.

that either favours them,or quotes they don't really
understand, and we form the habit of believing them, here
are top ten accepted but not attested quotes,
1; DELAY IS NOT DENIAL, - that's not true, some delays
are denials, for example, a man worked so hard for a car gets it by the age of 62, he won't enjoy it, that's denial, or your dad buy you the 'toy' u asked for at age 18, what do u want to do with it at age 62?

an abuse to money, the root of all evil is the heart of
men, which produces jealousy, hatred, anger, e.t.c. if u
