  1. DRINKS AND DRUNKS

         And of drinks and drunks, "we do have something in common,Mates" till I found this truth:
    "Drinking" has never helped anyone's reputation, instead it has injured both the person and his "repute"
    "The tavern keeper likes the drunkard,we are told but he does not want him for a son-in-law"Some would say, Alcohol is good for the body- yes! I agree - I loved the "bottle" too: I murdered her back in UNN  my Alma-mater- But like every "remover",it removes "shekere" money from my savings- it removes smiles from the face of a woman and happiness from some homes-

         ....Hope this old Arabian tale drive home my point    One old Arabian legend said one day, the devil asked a man who was about to die to do 3 three things and live- kill his servant, beat his wife Or drink a cup of wine. The man decides to think- "No, I cant kill my wife,nor harm my servant- that's ridiculous- yes! I will drink the wine- He drank wine, then got drunk... _ beats wife,when the servant attempted to come to her rescue he killed him. Simple! Just a cup of wine-

networking Yesterday was memorable for me as there was a ready platform and a very aware man with a daunting unique message for everyone. We all need side "hustle" that augments our main source of livelihood and social media is a tool to milk out that purpose. It is more than just a meet-greet networking platform for business owners and individuals, It is an alternate revenue base for many who are aware. Young people are beginning to complain less and are totally reducing the dependen cy on the inept, clueless government while taking charge of their future using this medium. I discussed my entrepreneurship journey and stressed on the right way to stay "motivated". I met seasoned speakers on that platform --- # Lawyers  and  # Doctors  and I was specially grateful to God for that opportunity to share my truth and exchange valuable contact. The child of a nobody. NB: If you don't believe in God, from this moment, you should begin to believe in G

iMOTIVATE 1. This morning, like he has every morning for the last decade, my 86-year-old grandfather picked a fresh wild flower on his morning walk and took it to my grandmother. This morning I decided to go with him to see her. And as he placed the flower on her gravestone, he looked at me and said, “I just wish I had picked her a fresh flower every morning when she was alive. She would have loved that.” 2. Today, on my 47th birthday, I re-read the suicide letter I wrote on my 27th birthday about two minutes before my girlfriend showed up at my apartment and told me, ‘I’m pregnant.’ She was honestly the only reason I didn’t follow through with it. Suddenly I felt I had something to live for. Today she’s my wife, and we’ve been happily married for 19 years. And my daughter, who is now a 21-year-old college student, has two younger brothers. I re-read my suicide letter every year on my birthday as a reminder to be thankful – I am thankful I got a second chance at life

AMEND IT. ...But It was their anniversary, and Funke was waiting for her husband Kunle to show up. Things had changed since their marriage, the once couldn't-live-without-each-other cute couple had turned bitter fighting over every little thing. Both didn't like the way things had changed. Funke was waiting to see if Kunle remembered it was their anniversary, Just as the door bell rang, she ran to find her husband wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two started re-living the old days. Making up for fights, then was the plan for champagne, light music, - and it was raining! It was perfect timing, But the romantic moment was paused when the phone in the bedroom rang.  Funke went to pick the phone up and it was a man who spoke.  "Hello ma'am I'm calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Kunle Adeoye's number?" "Yes it is!" "I'm sorry ma'am; but there was an accident and a man died. We got thi
