MEMORIES

Few years ago when I was about to leave the University as a graduate, I became so Confused, Sad, Disheartened. A friend walked to my space to see how I'm doing, he met me sitting on my bed "VanWest you ain't looking good at all" I've to pretend that things were just fine.

I wasn't so sad because I'm a dumb, heart broken by a girl or leaving the environment. I was consciously not happy because I established a costly relationship with people at the tail end and couldn't afford to loose them. This was something I could've done long time ago, I was sad because I invested shortly in people with open minds but some might never get to meet me again. Sad because I drew a landmark in the lives of many but never had the chance to explain.

My relationship with the open mind was truncated by time.

DEAR FRIEND

One of the most Unforgettable moments in life is to costly invest in people at the right time. This could be through your words, giving and Attitude towards people. Create a good relationship that may be endless. Sometimes you may not be the benefactor but someone somewhere shall feel your handwork and pray for you. Good morning to you.

CRIMINAL OF CONSCIENCE

Few years ago in the University, I've had a friend whom I considered to be a brother. We built a good relationship to the extent that we can't do without checking  on each other even in the morning when we wake up. Gbash is an intelligent student with an open heart, quick to understanding situations and time conscious, a teacher and a law breaker as well.

We used to meet in dark corner where only him can explain. the question is, as a criminal of conscience, what did I stole from him?

1. Humbleness: This is one of the best thing I've learned so far. This has been part of Gbash lifestyle. I've severally met him in tight situations where sacrificing his time to meeting someone else's need is always his priority. 

2. Diligence: I've stolen the habit of exercising diligence to achieving what I want in life. Gnash is so vulnerable to new ideas and finding means to achieving his set goals. I attested to this evening with the little time we've stayed.

3. Courage: Even though we've had moments cut across academics, social and political. This dude never seized to amaze me in all ramifications even in his confine. I've seen that seal to pursuing what's right. This has been a stolen character.

4. Socialization: Could this be the wearing of jumpa and a nice cap or that polo and a nice jeans. Is it the expression of his yarning power to ...... or the goat meat and drinks on one of his birthday celebration. This I can't steal any.

LET YOUR HUMILITY SPEAK

Two days ago I went to a garden to rest my head after a long time work, this has been my new way of restrategizing and innovating new ideas. With me is my humble Suya and a gentle holandia.

Immediately I entered the garden, I found a place where I can put my body and soul together, so I sat down and played a music "Desperate" by GUC. 

Two little children came around playing with their toy cars, one came to me and asked about whose car is the best, I replied by saying that of her sister, Boom! we established a kiddy conversation. They asked me about my name and other things which I replied accordingly. I realized that these kids are wise enough to sale someone. 

Few minutes later, a man sitting across waved at me and instantly came around trying to pick his children, they refused to follow him till the point that their father have to sit for another round of the play. we began a serious introduction and there he narrated how he becomes a single father.

Mr Josh got married to his wife in one of the western states in Nigeria, they loved each other to the point that they proposed an annual vacation in the United State. They were blessed with two beautiful and intelligent daughters. Life has been a smooth ride until when his wife decided to travel to see her people. She lately involved in a ghastly moto accident that led to cutting one of her legs, she has to resign from her work due to her condition. 

Since then, Mr Josh has been up and doing, trying to maintain the status quo. I looked at the Children and I saw happiness, beautiful smiles and Courageous mindset. I foresaw commitment in the side of this young man.

When a man is humble and embrace humility, things begin to fall into place, real men don't walk away amidst challenges, they fight it to the fullest.
