Properties in good locations and Agriculture are lasting investments that never go out of fashion in life no matter the trends. Come what may, housing and food will be a relevant trend.
To be relevant all the time, read, read and read, do not be tired of getting knowledge or information. Be a friend of the Holy Bible and other sacred books to be developed spiritually. There is power in prayers and moderate fasting!
Do not over do anything, if not you will suffer for it. Yes, you will make some mistakes, pardon and forgive yourself so as to move forward.
Above all, fear God and love your fellows. Never harm anyone to climb the ladder of life no matter how. If you do, something terrible
Will await you as payback!
''In life, you cannot claim to be a man if you have not wrestled and won a battle''
''And if you wait for perfect conditions you will not get anything done in life; even though, success has made failures of many men''
''Rich people are not always happy people…Your hands can be full of money; your head can be full of information. But, if your heart is empty, your life is very empty! ''
''Thousands will fail in life simply because they are unwilling to make changes''
''Words are not cheap. Wars begin because of words. Words can turn to wars if you're not mindful. Peace comes when great men get together to negotiate and dialogue. Words link people. Words are the bridge into your future. Words created the world.''
These were a recapture of some of what Segun learnt from his generous father when growing up in life. He was now fully ready to consider every word for a better experience that cannot be faulted.
'' Am glad that my passionate father told me all these insights when I grew up…Really, my father is one of the best fathers to have and be celebrated''
Yes, Segun got it as he wanted from the messages of his father as recorded and preserved for long.
''Now, I must be a Man, am ready to wrestle and win …Why I attend ''The Winners Chapel'' for!''
Despite the fact that the challenges confronting Junior's father at that moment are enormous, Segun can still say: ''When men are cast down, I am lifted up''
Segun woke up from his slumber and got set in full force to a better approach to life as from that moment for the better future as desired and destined to be.
And like the prodigal son, he was heart bent ready to adjust in all area of his life no matter the cost that will be involved. Segun was highly resolute and there will be no going back again.
It is the day that you sighted misfortune that you arrange for its burial… Nobody spared a mess to spread.
The mosquitoes that you strife by all means possible to kill today will not bite you tomorrow, never!
By gone is by gone.
Segun from that moment began to feel and experience a sort of re-birth in his life and body. It appeared as if he was about to start life afresh on a clean page and new chapter entirely. The past is gone and forgotten.
The masquerade usually flings his garment towards the back direction. If one does not forget the mistakes of the past, moving forward in life may appear difficult.
As if some veils were being removed or tore off. He came to his senses and pitied himself for waiting so long till now. He was however grateful that it was not too late before making the u-turn from wayward journey of the past. It is better to be late than being the late. The sun in the sky at this time can still get the wet cloth dried!
Avidly, on that notable fresh Monday; while he was engrossed in the meditations and positive reorientation of his noble life without any disturbance.
At a point, Junior suddenly called the attention of his father Segun to the video: ''The Rotten Pot of Love'' they were watching at the sitting room.
''Daddy…Daddy…!!! That scene looked exactly like what happened on Saturday at grandpa's house when my mummy came to pick me!''
Junior exclaimed as he jumped out of the sofa-chair he sat on with a prompt attention at the giant life-size plasma TV hanged against the wall.
To gist the story, He needed a serious concentration from the father. His shoulders heaved immediately!
''What was it? '' Segun harshly inquired from the restless boy. He became attentive to what the son wanted to say.
''My Daddy, I'II tell you everything!''
Junior said further in a serious mood.
Segun, the father first hollered at him.
''O K, am listening'' Segun responded as he lowered the volume on the TV set. Thereafter, he agog and listen attentively to what the inquisitive boy called Junior was about to say. The boy is never strange to his father. They are close with each other intimately well. Segun thought Junior could be funny and unrealistic sometimes. He was a kind of son that can easily create a storm inside a glass cup playfully.
Like an action replayed, that was how Junior began to narrate vividly what happened when Yetunde, her mother came to pick him up on Saturday at the grandparents' house in Agbowo, Ibadan.
Kudos to a child of destiny blessed with a sharp memory and brilliant display of inborn talents and ability.
Acuity Junior did not hold anything behind from what he witnessed. It was reported like a professional trained journalist. To be candid, the accurateness of the report was faultless and hard to wave aside.
The agile boy described the incident with perfect demonstration precisely all the secret love conversations and the accomplishing actions that was infused when his mother was with Segun's father. Repeatedly, it was an unflattering commentary.
Inevitably, what was how the hidden in respect of the infidelity of Yetunde was blown off openly by the reports presented by Junior in few minutes?
Heaven was about to be scattered and scraped off with razor shaving blade. The father of Junior had a changed countenance immediately. Things were no longer the same with him. The blood pressure began to rise rapidly.
''No sane person will hear the pronouncement of death sentence from a judge in the court of law and start dance!''
The report of infidelity is highly sensitive and should be handled with greater caution; if not the home will be destroyed woefully.
No matter what it may be and how it may be viewed; nothing is strange again; we just have to manage it if that is what it became of a relationship.
Some happenings cannot be interpreted ordinarily with a perfect judgement. May be that was the more reason while it was written in the Holy Bible: ''Do not Judge; so that you may not be judged!''
Meanwhile, the highly string Segun bubbled with life on the findings from Junior that created a friction and peak on the first day of the week.
What an amusement? The mountain was set ablaze on Monday by the young kid named: Junior-the only child of Madam Yetunde. What a wrong business transaction!
What a serious matter at stake. A beloved son in inside The Innocent Villa was about to flush-out and sluice his mother from her matrimonial home accidentally.
The amazed Segun at first did not count serious what Junior was saying. But a clever boy like Junior cannot be taken for granted at all.
''Even they say, out of any rumour there are elements of the truth''
No man can be so trusted with a lady during the raining season when everywhere was too cold for comfort. And the worst part of scenario, no domestic gas to use for warning or get hot water to bath with.
''We are all thieves when the house is empty of occupants'' says a Yoruba adage.
Listening intently, Segun thought otherwise. There is no small child again! His imagination and anger got fired up instantly.
''Do you mean what you are saying?''
Segun interrupted. He was down, dazzled and confused! He was so emphatic about it that in serious anger and annoyance; he furiously banged the floor along. He was annoyed even to himself instead.
'' Yes Daddy'' I saw and witnessed it…My Mummy can't denied it''
Segun found the story to be unbearable truth. He planned to revenge. When no bad news is brought to the ears, the mind can never turned sad in anyway.
''Good news gives life and glamour while bad news brings sadness and downcast.''
''Grandpa kissed my Mummy like this'' Junior brilliantly demonstrated it passionately!
And he said in haste:
''Dear, thanks you for The Sealed Secret….You deserved a compensation!''
The little boy Junior narrated the whole scenario to his father, while Segun listened raptly.
In fact, both his explanations and demonstration was accurate and precise. It looked tight, accurate, thoughtful and so difficult to be trashed or waved aside without any further investigations.
It was like watching other version of the video that could be re-tagged:
''The Pot of Rotten Love''
Instead of the actual title:
'The Rotten Pot of Love''
The change is fitted. Segun needed it that way maybe.
''Ahaaa, Ahaaa!!!...Junior…Junior?'' ''Do you know what you are saying?''
''Are you alright? '' Segun was trying to confirm from Junior
From the boy, what bad and unprecedented news; with an odour that was difficult to smell occupied the air and everywhere became uncomfortable.
What a great blemish! It was like pouring thick palm oil on the white garment of bride on a wedding day in the public.
The precious glass cup with gold linen dropped from the centre table and scattered on the floor of the sitting room carelessly.
Without weighing the magnitude and implication, the sharp boy called Junior, eavesdrop like a little bird that tells the king everything behind the scene.
What was reported about Yetunde and Segun's father as told by Junior was not only amazing but amusing too! The genesis of matrimonial unrest that invited regrets crises and dissolutions.
It created all the panic, troubles and unrest that were witnessed inside The Innocent Villa thereafter by Madam Yetunde, Segun and the boy called Junior.
Dazedly, Segun became dumbfounded and furiously uncomfortable at the narration of Junior that was without missing words. He could not contain himself again. It looked like a dream to the dark skinned man.
An overwhelming feeling of pains welled up inside him as he listened to the boy's award story that sinks to his consciousness and could not let it pass.
Shockingly, Mr. Segun, the husband of Madam Yetunde was puzzled, baffled, bewildered, bitter and disgusted about it. He looked like someone dropped by vehicle at unknown location. He turned around like a hair cutter's chair to no one in particular. Greatly astonished! He could not condone the bad news. He was ranged with revenge.
Unbearably, the way it came to be was so mysterious and awful to Segun. The father of Junior became dejected and heavily frustrated almost immediately like a sheep that lost its kid. Disgustingly, several things began to uproot from his vivacious body.
With hazy memories, Segun from that moment regretted all his dealings with Yetunde in life.
''Could it be due to a faulty foundation, or what ? ''
''But when the foundation are destroyed what else can the Righteous do Again?''
