''In the year 2015, almost a year I started working, I couldn’t meet my monthly target of N1million naira deposit.
My supervisor was on me- as expected, the few customers I had then couldn’t
help either, I was in a fix and it was the third month when we are appraised quarterly for performance.
I think I started preparing mentally for a query but my other side was still optimistic, a little.
One day, on my way out to see a prospective customer, one of the security
guards who hails from Edo state- Mohammed after hailing him, asked me in a hush tone if I was okay. I had a weak smile and answered affirmatively. He let me be
I came back and he was the first to offer me cold water(it was a sunny day) and took my bag in. After the close of work
that day, Mohammed asked again if I was okay but this time, he didn’t allow me to answer him before reminding me how I always look out for him and he had noticed my unusual quietness.
So, I jokingly told him about my target and how I’m lagging behind in it. His next question
almost threw me off balance “Shee if I bring 500k put am for my account, e go fit work for you?”
My eyes were wide opened and I can’t remember answering him that day.
The next day, during his shift, Mohammed brought the 500k cash to my table. I had to ask how and where he got
the money from, he smiled and reminded me of one of his brother’s who was abroad(he had told me about him in few of our conversations)who keeps money with him. I activated his account and he paid the money in.
That same week, one of our cleaners-I call her Madam Maria, also paid
in about 250k into her account to “help” me, when she noticed according to her that I wasn’t my normal self. I asked where she got the money from and she told me she was a treasurer in the women’s group in the church she attends.
These 2 humans saved me from a difficult situation
that I never thought for a second could be them.
All I ever did while working with them and others was compliment them while doing their job, ask them about their well-being and plans they have for the future in our gists..
I remember a senior colleague would ask me, why and
how I “mingle” with them. I kuku ask him why and how I mingle with him too.
I don’t know the moral of this story sha but no one is less of a human for their decent labour
PS: I met my target for that month and didn’t get any query.
These two amazing people left the monies in
their account even after I was transferred to another branch and when they eventually had to pick the money up, they called me and were pleading to take it. I told them I was doing so well at the new branch now and
them taking the money wasn’t an issue.
Happy Monday lovelies''

''Social media buskers and cheerleaders are trying hard to absolve the Buhari govt of blame in the Mambila hydro power project fiasco exposed by the BBC Hausa. They said the presidency was quoted out of context, and that it never claimed work had started at Mambila.
But the official cheerleaders say otherwise. They told us equipment had been procured. They shared the photos of the project sites to convince us Mambila project was coming to fruition. And we truly believed them.
Buhari himself taunted Obasanjo for allegedly
spending $16 billion on power without commensurate results. Although in actual sense, Obasanjo spent $3.5 billion (at rate of N150 to $1) to build new power generating stations under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs), we have seen Papalanto, Omotosho, Alaoji and

I pray that this young Nigerian gets justice and a closure too
''Obinna, a 30-year-old Nigerian man started an agricultural commodity export business 2 years ago.
His business model is simple:
When he gets a contract to supply agricultural products like sesame seed, maize, rice,
corns and millet, this is the process.
The person/company that wants the product from his company will send an international letter of credit through their bank to his local bank in Nigeria, once this is done and confirmed, it shows the buyers willingness to proceed with the
transaction.
With this confirmation in his pocket , Obinna raises money from friends and family with the assurance given by the LC with his local bank, travel to the north with his team, source for the agricultural item that the client abroad is requesting for, buy, ship it

''What happened today (Yesterday) in Owerri, is a sad reality of how divided President Buhari has succeeded in dividing this nation.
Besides the sit-at-home order, most politicians of the region avoided Owerri.
Could it be the unpopularity of Hope Uzodimma?
Outside Dave Umahi of Ebonyi that is in bed with Buhari and the host governor, the majority of the SE Governors sent their deputies.
As if that wasn't enough, most house of representatives and senators from the region avoided IMO completely.
One take easy form today is that as
a leader, always ensure to carry everyone along.Even if they did not vote for you, once you emerge, integrate all and not consider some as outcast.
Since I was born, this is the first time a president visit looks like a burial ceremony of a railway worker that his pension

A woman takes her 20-year-old daughter to the doctor...
The doctor says, “Okay, Madam, what’s the problem?”
The mother says, “It’s my daughter, Becky. She keeps getting these cravings, she’s putting on weight, and is sick most mornings.”
The doctor gives Becky a good examination,
then turns to the mother and says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Becky is pregnant – about 4 months, would be my guess..”
The mother says, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you Becky ?”
Becky says, “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man, I’m still a virgin!”
The doctor walked over to the window and just stood there staring out into orbit. About five minutes passed and finally, the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there doctor?”
