Don't listen to the crowd

We have all heard quotes like "stand out","be different","don't follow the crowd" and so many others but I guess this should be different "don't listen to the crowd" they say a lot of jargons.

I will use my experience at the filling station to illustrate my point, I was on a quest to get fuel (yes oh Na quest), I woke up early, enough, Wednesday morning 6am did my daily things, pray,eat,exercise, dropped my sister off at work not knowing I would spend the next 10 hours of my life queuing. 

"This queue doesn't seem to be too long, let me join" (note the time is 8:30am) seems like I will leave this place in like 30 minutes, the line seems to be moving.

4 hours later (12:30pm)

This line is really moving "are they selling fuel"?? "Yes, but no go fit get" this guys are jokers, so many people were coming back(those that packed their cars, tracked to see the current phenomenon) "excuse ,e are they selling furl"?? "Yes but you won't get" 

7 hours later (3:30pm) 

It is now I realize that the line that was moving was because of people who were frustrated and left the line, everybody shouting you can't get fuel here. Believe me, at this point I had heard a lot of jargons about different complains from people and a summary of what was mostly said = jargons. Different talks about Nigerias history, government and most of what were said, were said out of ignorance and frustration any attempt to draw a conclusion from those conversations will result in absolute failure.

10 hours later (6:30pm) 

I think they are right, you can't get fuel here and off I zoom to my house, hope the little fuel in this car won't finish before I get home. 

Goodnews 

In less than an hour the next day I got fuel, don't ask me how, and yeah at the normal price #87. 

DON'T BE THAT GUY/GIRL IN RHE CROWD, BE DIFFERENT

Fuel higihaga 😁😁😁

Innocent me just getting back from school not knowing the higihaga that has been going on with the fuel scarcity situation in Nigeria. I was even dropped at home so everything still seemed fine till yesterday when I was about leaving home did I realize that, oh!!.....there is fuel scarcity.

Fuel scarcity joke has become very interesting all of a sudden, except that the prices of foodstuff and every other thing relating to fuel is not joking nooo not at all, it's straight face is like that of terminator I guess it didn't get the joke. 

Buh honestly everything still seem like a joke a liter of fuel for #400 this must be a joke, someone please tap me and say April fool, or something like it's just a joke. Where is/are the government this is ridiculous, embarrassing to an oil producing nation and especially the government in power and all its official.

Fuel scarcity I know usually last maximum a week and it's resolved Buh this is unbelievable. My experience yesterday was not funny at all,getting to my bus stop going to iyana ipaja T.fare of #70 became #200 all of a sudden I was still forming James Bond till I saw the crowd waiting to enter the bus with me at that price shouting "it's even cheap" without a second thought on hearing that I jumped in the bus with them, going to ikeja I paid x4 of what I would pay on a normal day. 

The transportation is so bad you don't even care how much it would cost, you just want to get home. 

Something have to been done we can't continue like this, and sad enough the them them in power are still moving round town like nothing is happening. Last last Na we they suffer am. 

There is God o. 

WHO ARE THE RICH AND POOR IN NIGERIA? Social class better explained

Got this from my friends blog iweanya Victor @ www.iweanyawrites.com and enjoyed it, thus decided to share it, I hope you will enjoy it too.

The past few weeks has seen me cross the Third Mainland bridge severally and I have come to the grand conclusion that two very different worlds exist at the opposite ends of Third Mainland bridge.

From the supercharged angry atmosphere soaked with sweat and impatience characteristic of the mainland to the tranquility and oyinboishness experienced at the Island, one can only be baffled at the disparity that exists.

After salivating at the structures and automobiles I have seen, I think it would be a great disservice if I don't properly classify our social class and enable people find out where they belong.

1. The Rich

     Examples: Dangote, Otedola, Oniru, Elegushi

This are the class of people allowed to call a Private Jet, a Toy. They are permitted to have hectares of land at Banana island and Eko Atlantic city. They have breakfast at Oriental Hotel, Lunch at Federal Palace Hotel and dinner at Eko Hotel. They are the worthy mentors of the youths. God specifically told me that this is where i'd be.

2. The Rich Middle Class

     Example: Oil Workers

This type of people are my best kind of people. They think they are Dangote. You see them with nice cars, starched white shirts and an air of importance. One good thing though is, when they are sacked or retired they have just enough to setup a business to rescue them from disaster.  (Continue Reading)

3. The Poor Middle Class

    Example: Bankers, Doctors

Bankers and the rest of the people in this class are quite unique. They really think they are rich. They earn just enough to survive. If you take their job, you've taken their life. They are the kind of people you wouldn't want to have as an uncle cos it pains them to see money leave their pockets.

4. The Rich Poor

     Example: Teachers, Jeans sellers, shawarma sellers

Teachers have their reward on Earth. There's a probability their children can become Rich, if that doesn't occur, their reward is properly stored in Heaven. Interestingly, teachers are comforted by the fact that they look good, probably drive a clean car, have a pretty decent office and perhaps sound smart. If only they knew that they earn almost the same salary as the man grilling shawarma on your street.

      

5. The Poor Poor

    Examples: Corpers, Biscuit sellers

    What can NGN 19,800 do??

6.They need help

    Examples: Windshield wiper hawkers

I really really do not understand this business. Like how much do you expect to realise in a day?? How many people destroy their wipers? well this is apart from NURTW touts workers who demand kindly ask for some proceeds of your day's hardwork.

This is a proper classification of our Social class in Nigeria. I did enough research and I highly recommend that our Social Studies teachers in Secondary Schools update their curriculum.

I can't lift 80KG what happened to me??

I can't lift 80kg anymore what have happened to me 

For someone that is an addict gymer if there is a word like that, lifting 80kg will be  child's play to him yes what happened to me, two years ago when I was active in the gym lifting 80kg would be child's play to me. 

After two year of retirement from the gym I decided to try lifting 80kg again and you can guess what happened I failed I couldn't. I tried again Buh to no avail and immediately the Holy Spirit ministered to me. 

So also it is in the kingdom, "I was a prayer warrior two years ago" is not enough to chase the devil away today like my father will say for every new level there is a new devil. 

Your knowledge of yesterday situation is not sufficient for today's challenges, you need to constantly keep building up yourself; 

spiritually- to be able to solve current spiritual challenges and be fit the current spiritual opportunities 

Physically- maybe like me to be able to lift 80kg (oh not that) to be able to meet the challenges of today and fit for the opportunities of today.
