ARE YOUR CHILDREN READY TO INHERIT YOU?

SPOIL YOUR WIFE AND TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN.

The only son of a certain wealthy man wanted to inherit the father's biz.

The old man gave him one condition to fulfill: "Earn $10,000, show me the money & my multi-million dollar biz is yours"
Not long after, his son brought the money he had collected from his mother claiming he worked for it. His father who was relaxing by an oven collected the cash and threw it into the oven. The two watched the oven until the whole cash was burnt to ashes.
He told his son to simply go on and work for the money and bring it to him. The mother again gave him another $10, 000 and told the boy to wait for some time, so he could disguise and look worn out before seeing his father.
When he eventually met his father with the money, the old man was at the same spot close to the oven. The man took the cash again threw it into the oven, and again the two watched the $10,000 burnt to ashes. Then he told his son to go, work and save $10,000 and show him and
the inheritance will all be his.
The boy was furious knowing that his father was determined and stringent with the condition of working and saving up $10,000 before he can access his inheritance.

The boy again met with his mother for advice. She was thinking of another option
they can use to outsmart the old man, when he finally told his mother not to worry and that he will go out and work and save the money for his father.

The boy travelled to another town where he would be given an opportunity to do odd jobs because in their locality
nobody would believe him, the only son of a wealthy man doing menial job?

He spent years denying himself of food, pleasure, good accommodation, designer-wears and every good life accustomed​ to rich men's' children just to save up the money for his father.
When he eventually came back his mother hardly recognised her son, he looked old, thin and wretched.

With that desperate condition he quickly went to present the money to his father who incidentally was seating in the very place close to the dollar-burning oven.
He gave his father the money he has saved with pains and hunger. The old man took the money and again threw it into the oven. The boy dived headlong into the fire and brought the money back and exclaimed, "father you can't burn my sweat."
The father replied, "you absolutely worked for this very one son, nobody will stand looking, seeing his effort being burnt, as you have done in the previous ones your mother helped you."
The old man feeling satisfied with his son's last action, willed all his wealth to him.
MORAL LESSON 👇

1.People put value on things that cost them most.

2. Wealth gotten through easy way will soon end up in the oven.

3.Before handing over your business to your child, first hand over wisdom to him.
4. Like most of us with wonderful backgrounds, we often deny our children valuable experiences they need to succeed in life by too much pampering, saying "I don't want them to experience what I experienced" forgetting that such conditions added up in making you what you are.
Sometimes, create artificial scarcity to help harden your children up for tomorrow.

5. Don't forget to share your story with your family as your children will need it someday to solve life's challenges.

6. Wisdom & good name is the best inheritance you can give 2 your children.
7. The billion dollar wealth handed over to your children without character and morals will end up in the hands of your servants and maids that possess them.

8. Success and wisdom are not taught in schools but in the streets, through hard work, dedication, courage,
focus, determination, resilience, diligence, honesty, perseverance, character, etc. Knowledge is taught in schools.

You'll definitely succed!

"Robbers Enter a House, Asks for all the Money
and Valuables.

After they collect what they can, they give the
man of the house, a gun with instructions to
shoot his wife, or else he should be shot himself.
The man gets the gun, points it at his wife, and
hesitates.
He is thinking of what he has gone through in life with his wife and how she has suffered and sacrificed for him.

He hands back the gun and says, “I am sorry I
can’t do this…

“The boss of the robbers silently grabs the gun
from him and passes it on to the wife with the
same instruction.

The wife gets the gun and without any single
hesitation points to her husband’s head and pulls the trigger. But at last, the gun had no bullets in it. The robbers get their gun and walk out of the house laughing.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION.

This picture will break you after melting you; this is the governor of Nasarawa State Engr Abdullahi A Sule consoling a boy who had just lost his father. The boy wrecked by grief sat helplessly by the remains of his father who has become a heap of sand- the
boy, will forever not see his darling father again. It was the helplessness of the boy in his grief-stricken state that caught the attention of the governor who had come to bury his own son and walked to the boy.
United in same tragedy, the boy and the governor found solace in each other. This picture is embedded in deep message, just when you think your woes are worst, you are reminded of others' more gripping woes. Stricken by the death of his first son, the governor saw a boy

A NATION OF PROCRASTINATORS

BVN: We refused to do on time. We cried for extension.

REGISTER FOR NIN: We did not do. We demanded for extension.

LINK THE NIN TO PHONE LINE: We vehemently refused until lines were blocked and yet we demanded extension.
REGISTER FOR PVC: We refused to do till the last minute. We demanded for extension.

COLLECT THE PVC: Whosaii!! Even after they were brought to our wards, we refused to collect. We want an extension.

DEPOSIT OLD NAIRA NOTES: For where? The deadline must be extended.
The way we rationalise and defend our 'right' to demand for extensions, I am seriously thinking that the national assembly should pass a bill to include the extension of the deadline for every national exercise in the Nigerian constitution.

PETER OBI, THE NORTH AWAITS YOUR AUGUST VISIT

I could remember that Peter Obi came to power on the 17th March 2006 while the famous Onitsha crisis, which led to the killings of Northerners, occurred on the 21st and 22nd of February 2006. That was almost a month gap.

@PeterObi
Our first meeting with Obi also coincided with his first visit to the town; all arrangements were done to receive the first citizen of the state and also to explain our predicament to him at that moment. As refugees in Army Barrack Onitsha, we took him from the

FESTUS KEYAMO DROPS THE MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS

Who are you calling dictator ?

Ex- President Obasanjo removed Senate Presidents at will, removed any opposing voice, removed Fayose for a small insult, and removed Ladoja with thugs in Ibadan. Who are you calling “DICTATOR”? BUHARI.
Ex-President OBJ withheld Lagos State fund for 3 years, not minding how Lagosians would eat, Yaradua got there and released the fund.

NASS members were abusing President Buhari openly, messing up everything at will; Gov. Fayose has been abusing President Buhari for 4 years now.
Not a single State in Nigeria has been denied their constitutional rights because of politics till date, all their funds, Paris fund and bail out, FAAC etc. But who is the DICTATOR? BUHARI.

Ex-President Jonathan ensured that NASS opposition members were locked out including
