Turai Yar'Adua, your husband is dead. I hope you are happy now. You never gave a damn about him- About his health, about his well being. All you were interested in was to remain in power in order to enjoy the splendor, influence and usual ostentatious lifestyle of a president's wife in Nigeria.

Is there anything like poverty?
is it POVERTY when a man is healthy
but not wealthy?
Is it POVERTY when a man is wealthy
but not healthy?
Is it POVERTY when a man is a rich-illiterate
but a poor-literate?
Is it POVERTY when a man has many children
but there is no money to take care of them?
Is it POVERTY when a man is rich
but has no child?
What you call POVERTY might be RICHES
to the other man.
Are there not out there financially
rich barren women
who are craving for children?
Are there not out there
financially muscled people
who do not have peace?
Are there not out there people
who are handicapped
but have handwork?
What seems as POVERTY to you
might be RICHES to the other man.
Is the success of man
determined by how successful
he is financially?
In life, man lags one thing or another
no matter how highly placed.
So, there is no RICH man, no POOR man.
What abound are gluttonous-insatiable persons
or you call them, kleptomaniacs.

There are only two kinds of people in this world: The predators and the grazers. And the predators always get to the top, because they're prepared to fight to get there and consume people and things that get in their way. The others haven't the nerve, or the courage, or the hunger or the ruthlessness. So the world is governed by the predators, who become the potentates. And the potentates are never satisfied.

Playmates of the Devil
A man who died was supposed to go to Heaven, but ended up in Hell. So, God called Satan, protesting to have that man returned to Heaven where he belonged. When Satan rejected the request, God said he would go to court to get the man back, to which Satan replied, "Where are you going to get a lawyer? They are all down here!"Such is Life

Such is Life!
Who had fled the storm
And won his heaven
Happy whoso had striving
Free above his striven
For strangely graven
Is the art of living
That man and woman
In gold and power may
Out pass his brethren
And they win their wish
Or they lose their will
And the hopes are lost or are pined for still
But whoever can know as the long days go
That to live is happy
Hath found his heaven
no problem lasts forever

there's a climate of fear in the atmosphere
can you feel it as it engulfs the whole world
businesses are crashing, jobs dissolving by the day, bank losing millions of customers, the standard of living increasing, can you feel it?
Stress thick as smog, worry tangible as steel and poverty as real as the noon day. my friend do not despair, it's been said that only when it is dark can you see the stars. only when things get bad can you truly know what you have lying within you.
This is no time to fear but time to believe. it is the most potent weapon given to us. with a strong belief system anything is possible. just believe that no problem lives forever, everything has an expiry date, that includes the credit crunch.
instead of worrying concentrate on finding solutions to survive and overcome some of the challenges you may be faced with.Think positive not the credit crunch.
