Late Afolabi Mabogunje's brother recounts how he was killed in Lagos by hoodlums.
''FROM FOLABI MABOGUNJE'S BROTHER😢
My brother was riding early on Thursday morning, Sept 9th 2021, at about 5am, as he has done for about ?10yrs now or more. He was at the meet up point- Image
The same one as always. Then two guys with knives attacked him from behind, while he was off his bicycle and making a phone call to his co-cyclers, stabbing him on both sides of his neck, right side of his chest and left arm. In the right side, a gory wound got the internal
jugular vein apart from any other structures. The left got a superficial branch of the internal jugular. While struggling/ fighting off the guys his phone dropped, they grabbed it, jumped on a waiting motorcycle and sped off.
He was gushing out blood with each contraction of
the right atrium.
He needed help, got on his bicycle, held it with one hand, the other hand held his neck wound and rode to a nearby police post but the police were not there. Then he rode to a nearby bank where the security guard had a phone with no credit or data.
They were lucky a passerby was able to help him call his wife. She came to the spot , picked him up, threw his bicycle in the trunk of the car and sped off to the nearest hospital- Gbagada general hospital!
They sutured the smaller wounds, gave IVFluids but had no Cardithoracic
surgeon on ground. So he had to be transferred to Lasuth that had CTSU on ground.
Then we hit phase 3 delay- accessing the correct care, at the correct time , in the correct way even after finally getting to the hospital!!!!!!!
We got there at about 8am, surgery started at about
1.30 pm, no preop resuscitation because they had NO BLOOD!!!! We had to send to Gbagada GH for blood. Friends wanted to donate but the Lasuth blood bank said because of the ongoing ARD strike they didn’t have facilities to bleed the donors!!
We were in surgery till about 5.20 pm.
Was undertransfused, as far as I was concerned. He never woke up from anaesthesia!
He battled the robbers, he fought for his life, we battled the system and systemic failures, everything that could go wrong went wrong!
We thank God for the life he lived, for finding and
fulfilling his purpose in life, for being a big brother and father to many more than his biological children and siblings.
The Cycology club and all affiliated cycling clubs in Lagos fondly called him the General!
He inspired us all to push beyond the limits, find and follow your passion.
I will miss you my dearest bruver, your legacy lives on. See Less
— feeling sad''

ME:Rest in Peace Sir.

A True Story:
A beautiful story of a comeback..
"When I got pregnant for my boyfriend in my 300 level at the University of Ibadan in 2001, I tried to abort the pregnancy but I couldn't. (story for another day)
I became a shadow of myself. My boyfriend did not deny the pregnancy,
but he was a student too then studying at Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife. He was the youngest in his family and we had disappointed our parents.
I started participating less in class. I'd stare into spaces, confused about life. The pregnancy was barely two months old then.
I was studying Guidance and Counseling.
A particular lecturer noticed I became inattentive and non participative in his classes. He invited me to his office and started talking to me. He told me to make sure I saw him in his office daily.
He took up the role of a brother,

A young, well qualified Officer left his job in Lagos and emigrated to Canada for better prospects and applied for a salesman's job at Vancouver's premier downtown department store. It was the biggest store in the world; you could get anything there.

The boss asked him,
"Have you ever been a salesman before?"

"Yes sir, I was a salesman in Nigeria."

The boss liked him and said, "You can start tomorrow. Learn fast and do well."

The first working day was long and arduous for the young man, but he got through it.

Finally 06:00pm came around.
The boss duly fronted up and asked,

"How many sales did you make today?"

"Sir, I made ONE sale!" said the young salesman rather happily.

"Only one sale?!" shot back the boss. "No! No! You see, most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day.
If you want to keep this job,

''Beware of that House-Help in Your Home.
What happened in my home is sort of stuff you see in famed television program- Super Story.
Exactly one month ago, my family hired this 23 year old young lady, Happy Yahuda into our home. During the interview session, I had asked her Image
where she hails from. When she told me she hails from Zango-Kataf in Kaduna state I felt comfortable considering my history with Kaduna, having attended secondary school there. Again, I asked where she had been before showing up at my home. She told the story of where she had
worked previously and that her former employer travelled out of the country. I didn’t immediately see any red flag. So, I agreed for her to stay.
We already have in our employ a janitor who comes in three days a week and does an excellent job. We have two very young children

A young guy from Nigerian moves to Florida in the US and goes to a big “everything under one roof” department store looking for a job.
The Manager says, “Do you have any sales experience?” The guy says “Yeah. I was an electronics salesman back in Nigeria.”
Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the guy and figured he’d give him a shot, so he gave him the job.
“You start tomorrow. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.”
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up,
the boss came down to the sales floor.
“How many customers bought something from you today?” The guy frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, “One”. The boss says “Just one?!!? Our sales people average sales to 20 to 30 customers a day.

''There is a Matter I came across currently before My Lord at the High Court of the FCT.
I will narrate the facts of the case to emphasize the dangers of careless actions.
A Man ( now deceased) lived in a rented House with an annual rent of 4.4 Million with his wife and 3 kids.
This Man embarked on a project to build his own house and was doing so without letting his Wife and Family know he was doing so.
Upon completion of the house, he opted to remain in his rented House for 2 years as the area he built his own was not very developed or occupied yet.
In the interim he put his side chick in the house as she had accommodation challenges at the time.
Before those 2 years would elapse, He died living his side chick in occupation of the mansion and his wife unaware of the existence of that property.
The side chick on the advice

''Has Tea Noobu taken any measures to implement reforms that would reduce the cost of governance during his administration?
While he has initiated a series of reforms that may benefit the country in the long run, it is evident that these changes will bring hardship to Nigerians
in the short and medium term.
However, the concern arises when we observe that there is no indication of him making personal sacrifices at the highest level, while the poor are not breeving.
Has he taken steps to reduce government expenditure?Has he considered utilizing the same
world-class hospital that Osinbajo used for his medical care, instead of frequently traveling to France? Has he made efforts to minimize the excessive fuel consumption of his convoy?
As for the less privileged:
... fuel prices have increased.
... the exchange rate has risen.
