PATIENCE...

 Today, I want to share this beautiful story a friend told me somedays back. I hope you enjoy and learn from it. It goes thus...
A young man (lets call him Tony) graduated from the university with a beautiful second class upper(2'1 as we call it) but he couldn't get employment with any(I mean any!) company, big or small . Five years later when ofcourse, most of his mates were already settling down reasonably, Tony was still jobless and penniless. On day, he somehow stumbled upon news that there was goingto be an interview for job seekers at a major oil company in Nigeria.

   On the D-day, Tony as well as over two thousand other jobseekers all over Nigeria stormed (yeah stormed lol) the interview venue. The interview was scheduled for 9am. At about 8am,the entrance to the company was already bubbling with life as so many hopeful fellows waited for the interview to kick off. Many hours later, they were still waiting as the interview was yet to commence. 11am....1pm...3pm..4pm..nothing and so the number of hopefuls started decreasing as people began to take their leave. Employees too were gradually leaving as work was already over for the day. By 5pm,there were only 10 hopefuls left. 5:30pm...6pm...6:30pm! Nothing! and so the once bubbling environs became a desrt as there was no hopeful there anymore, save for Tony. 7:30pm...Tony, tired and hungry kept waitng determined to watch the last car drive out before giving up.
8pm! Finally, the last car was driving out. Its owner(lets call him Mr B) hurriedly zoomed past our man and suddenly reversed. He motioned Tony to come close and inquired what he wanted in front of the company at that ungodly hour. Tony tiredly explained the event of the day to him. Mr B listened quietly and when Tony was done with his tale, he invited him into his office. Now Mr B was the personnel manger of the company. A short interview was immediately organised and held in Mr B's office and Tony's appointment letter was prepared and handed over to him few minutes later. And so patient Tony became a staff of a major oil company. Today, Tony is the financial pillar of his family and through him, many others have been blessed.
Few people will believe that this is actually a true story. Here's a shocker...it is a true story!
    Friends, you might be going through a situation right now and your patience might be wearing out already. Don't give up on hope. Keep striving. Your best days are ahead and they will surely come.Thanks for sharing Anthonia Okonkwo.

ONE NIGHT

They met at a bar Him a fine, reserved  young man Her a bubbly young woman Once she set her eyes on him She knew she wanted him So she went and she sat and they talked About life, love, family,  work, About  Everything They talked their souls away Late into the night It felt like they were old friends They bonded And when they raised their heads It was midnight And they were alone 'Let's go to your place' she suggested She could not bear to spend a second without him "Oh No! " Yours will be fine They left in the darkness of the night The security man opened the gate 'Welcome Aunty' He said "Thank you" She opened the door to her house and they walked in, He gazed into her eyes Her feet were unsteady She closed her eyes and waited And come did he The taste of his lips was a mixture of orange juice and alcohol and cream It drove her mad Carefully he kissed her And when his hands went to t...

Lagos Na Wa : 5

I write this with my face covered. Please don't laugh at me. Remember Lagos Na Wa Episode 1 where I shared the tale of how I almost was taken to  Seme border?  If you didn't read it, go through my wall. It is some where there. So after the Lagos tour,  my rectum was dilated and ready to spill meaning I was pressed. I wanted to poop. Jesu! The urge was so strong and as soon as the bus entered the Island,  it intensified. I carried my bum bum with the poo ready to drop and sat in the bus. I got to Elegushi  bus stop,  alighted. A man I asked for directions to pointed at ahead of him and said that was the gate of the  Estate I was looking for. I ignored the Okada men at the bus stop and started trekking because I was scared of what the speed and bumps would do. That turned out to be a bad decision. Left,  right,  right and left. No gate insight. I convinced myself that I could do it. God knows I couldn't. My ancestors were just la...

The Error of 'Don't you Know you are a Girl? '

Part 1 Dear Society, When you want to correct a female going wrong, especially a child,  do not remind her that she is a girl. Do not tell her to stop because she is a girl. Tell her to stop and change because her actions are wrong. When she wears a skirt and sits with her legs wide open,  tell her to close them because it is wrong to sit with your undies exposed. When she talks arrogantly,  correct her because it is wrong to speak that way. Don't tell her to be polite because girls should be. Sensible humans are polite. Politeness is not gender specific. When she dresses indecently,  correct the wrongness of the dressing. Don't make it about her gender. Decency doesn't apply to one gender. When she is unable to cook at 18, remind her that it is only reasonable for an adult to be capable of making food for his/her survival. No gender needs the skill more. When she rides her car in a rough manner,  remind her that wrong driving has sent many to their...
