THE HONOURABLE FIREWOOD SELLER...


Quite Inspiring and Motivating___
God uses the foolish things of this world to
confound the wise.
Story of a man who rose from grass to grace...

READ ON:
He was young, vibrant and very intelligent.
He was a university graduate with a first class
result.
He was ever ready and eager to work.
He wrote series of applications hoping for a job but
couldn't secure one.
He tried his very best to no avail.
"what will I do to earn a living", he asked
himself___at this juncture, he had lose all hopes of
getting any meaningful job with his 'first class' certificate.

What a Life!
After successfully completing his studies with the
best result anyone can think of__no job, no money,
no help, and no hope for a better tomorrow.

"How will I take care of myself-atleast feeding". He wondered in tears.

>>>There was this Aboki man__the firewood seller.
That brilliant graduate went to him, pleaded to join
the business even if it meant to be a servant so as
to help him feed.

The Aboki accepted!
He employed him(the graduate), treated him the
way he liked but he didn mind(not because he
enjoyed the humiliation but he needed to save
some money).

To the Malam, he was better than the educated
and lucky enough, he had one as his servant.

The young man worked submissively for 'Mai Makamashi'.

He didn't know that where man's ability ends is
where God's supremacy begins.
On this fateful day, he was in his duty post going
about his usual business when a very wealthy man
came in luxurious car___"Hello Malam", greeted the
man, "abeg I dey look for Lawal street" inquired
the rich man.

He showed the man his way but not without
explaining to him that he was not 'Malam'.

"wait a minute!" exclaimed the wealthy man. "you
look polished and have a good English
command_you must be educated" he added.

"yes sir, I'm educated, in fact, a first class
certificate holder". Explained the young man.

Out of curiosity, the rich man asked "then why are
you here___this place is not for you..." he
concluded.

The young man explained his travail and all he
went through after he left school that led him
serving the Malam.

After the narrative, the wealthy man gave him his
business card and told him call and later visit his
office.

To shorten a very long story, that young man
secured a good job in a multinational company
through the help of that rich man.

DEAR READERS,
Despise not the days of little beginning, don't be
ashamed to start small. Start from where you are
with what you have.

Forget about your qualification, start something no
matter how small and stop waiting__ times are
hard!

God will support you as you start.

SECURITY ADVICE FOR YOU...

Security Advise From Me To You in 2018 : Never use car stickers that says where you work, especiall y if you have a prestigious job, don't let show off kill you.

When you attend parties, don't let the band get you so high that you start spraying money like no man's business, use an envelope. Always delete your bank transaction notifications, especially SMS...you really can memorize your bank balance....Shred ur POS/ATM receipts. Don't go jogging while it's dark, you really should be smarter than that. If you can, get someone trusted as company. Always lock your doors, even if you're only going out to switch off your generator. NEVER EVER, NEVER EVER WEAR YOUR ID outside your work place. No one needs to know you work with Union Bank, don't be stupid! Be accountable to your spouse or parents, let some

And made them stand 100 mtrs away. And announced that who ever reaches1st would get all the fruits in the basket. When he said ready steady go.. Do you know what these small children did? They all caught each other's hands and ran towards the tree together, divided the fruits among them and ate the fruits and enjoyed it. When the Anthropologist asked them why u did so? They said 'Ubuntu' meant 'How can 1 be happy when all the others are Sad'? Ubuntu in their language means 'I AM BCOZ, WE ARE!' Let's all of us carry this attitude and spread happiness.
