Thought-Provoking Message By A Nigerian Facebook User Can Serve You For A Lifetime

By
A Nigerian Facebook user named Jabel Momoh
(pictured above) penned down a very inspiring
message on his Facebook page. Sharing photos
of the garage of the second Nigeria Senate
President and other photos, Jabel speaks on life,
wealth and the vanity of worthless material
things.
Here's what he wrote: " "WHAT A LIFE WE LIVE
According to Wikipedia This is the garage of
the Second Nigerian Senate President Prince
Nweke Nwafor from 1960 to 1966.



I vividly Recall the story of a man who became popular
for engaging in money rituals just to buy the
80's edition of the Honda Prelude.



You
wouldn't buy that car for 50k today. Some
other guy brutally murdered his brother ( whom
their father gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose of
re- stocking their warehouse), just cos he
wanted to acquire the rave of the moment –
Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now
better described as a coffin.
I Remember as a kid, my whole street gathered
to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite
dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish
one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value
and is in almost every student's room. What
about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz
V boot, 505 Evolution, Toyota Crown, all
overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda,
Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity…
Vanity!
Some ladies left their true loves cos some rich
guy then persuaded them with a Benz 190,
which turned out to be the only car they ever
owned till date. They found out too late that
true love is invaluable. A friend declared drinks
because he launched the Nokia Communicator
for over hundred grand in 2002. Today that
phone would embarrass the owner and is a
joke compared to the low cost and everyday
phones. What about the MTN SIM card that
many people went extra miles before they
bought for over 30k, today you will not buy it at
N100 because all networks are begging people
to even take it for free.
People are still making the most horrific
sacrifices over 'vanity' and make enemies over
worthless material things. What can I say?
Look back at that one thing you want to kill or
die for today and see what becomes of it
tomorrow. There is absolutely nothing you
can't achieve. All you need is a little time and
PATIENCE and you would thank God without
regrets. There is actuallynothing in this world
that is worth dieing for, ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING! Meditate on this…"

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

By Author
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates.

Regina Askia writes President Buhari on state of nation

By
Onetime actress turned nurse, Regina Askia Williams, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari on the state of nation. Thanking the president for his fight against corruption, the actress asked why there seem to be one unrest after the other in the country. “Thank you for all your effort at containing the corruption in Nigeria however unpopular," she began. Continuing, she wrote, 'Nigerians elected you through serious acrimony, loosing several lives and facing deadly unrest but they chose you. Though you are from the North of OUR country you are president of all. How is it that violence and deaths still hold sway? 'My hope and prayer was that on your ascension you would deploy our military with fiat and alacrity armed to the teeth and silence or at least contain Boko Haram. My prayer was that as a seasoned General you would not only flush out king pins and barons but retrieve the loot as you napped them one after the other but we see them working for you. Is th...
