(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
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…"
