Life.
Life.
Two questions...
Who can comprehend?
Who am I?
Who can fully understand life and it's gifts?
Who can interpret it's timing and it's end?
Who am I?
Who am I to be alive?
Breathing and living
While every single day someone else is taken
Who can comprehend?
Who am I?
Life.

Happy new month everyone
I'm so lonely! :-(
I'm so lonely
No true friend
They all want my end
They're all'bout interest
What they can't find in pinterest
They say we are coolBur take me for a fool
They say we stick like glue
Yet, put me in the blue
They act funny
And ask for money
They say we're guys from the hood
But can't spare me their food
They have made my journey tough
So I'm cutting them all off
Good bye!
I'll miss you
I'm being sarcastic
Miss you, ewe!
Sha miss the good moments we had Thinking you were true
Bur figured you're cruel
Now I'm lonely!

I wish I could just wake up and I have already made it
No hard work, crying, heartbreak
But I can't, I have gotta struggle to make it
I wish life was bed of roses
Well I guess life oppooses
So I have gotta struggle
I wish I would wake up into success
Well success doesn't come without the grind
So I guess I have gotta hustle

Spirit of lying
Spill it, Spill it
They will believe it
I did, I did spill it
I couldn't control it
Felt guilty inside me
What the point of deceiving thee
The truth would have set me free
Now this guilt won't let me be
I won't do it again
Cos there is by no gain
The guilt is already a pain
Worse than the feared cane
But I still lie
No matter how hard I try
I always ask myself why
Can't I stop the spirit of lies

Value
Value
What's value
For me value is basically what you have to offer or you can call it worth
Not the price
The price doesn't determine the worth
The value determines the price
Don't get me wrong
Let me explain
You can get an inferior product at a very expensive price right 🤷♂️
When you buy that product what will say... "it's not worth it"
That's where value comes in place
Worth
But when you buy something that is value though it might be expensive
"it's worth it"
That's why when I'm advertising I don't force my customers or persuade them
I show them my value
What I have
They can go all out they won't really find it
Value can be replaced but not dispensed
Replace
You can replace a brush with a sponge
You would achieve same cleaning result but with more stress
Because you can't get the worth of a brush from a sponge
That's value... The worth... The brush was changed but couldn't be dispensed
Be indispensable
Give value that is irrevocable
I once had a teacher
He taught in my school
He added so much value to the school even though he wasn't in the marketing department people from other schools came to my school just because of him
He had a private lesson and it was the highest paid private lesson yet the lesson was outnumbered
The value determining the price 😉
If he leaves the school and start his
Parent will neglect the fact that he's school is a start up and risk putting their children in his school because of value
If you give value
No matter the price, people will definitely come
I'm not saying something extravagant
No!
The price should differ and the difference is the level and quality
That's why you see people choose expensive things when the have choice to choose between two products
*Attract Money*
If you understand the concept of Money being Value you will understand that it’s not paper, it flows, that’s why it’s called currency. It follows the law of attraction and magnetism.
Don’t run after money, run after the things that money runs after and you will naturally command money.
- John Imoke (CEO)
The question is what do money run after... Value
People are ready to pay anything to get satisfaction.. That satisfaction that is "worth" the price is called value
Ps👆:another definition of value
So when you give that value you get money... 😇😉
There are over 100 elements on the periodic table yet we only survive on one
"OXYGEN"
Oxygen is being sold based on hours while others are sold based on volume
That's value
Oxygen is readily available yet more expensive than other elements
Why?
VALUE
What's your worth?
- Precious Onoharigho
To round it up
If only worry about giving what people want... That satisfaction they need, that value... The worth of their money, then assuredly you'll get money...
I'll leave you with a business secret I just learnt
You don’t build a business, you build people, then people build the business.
Your people are the builders of your business.
- John Imoke (CEO)
After John Imoke told me this... It got me thinking
Build people, they would build your business,
Building people is giving people... That is your customers the required satisfaction, when people see give them satisfaction and they know someone else who needs that satisfaction... They will surely refer
That's growth
So give value and watch your business grow

Knowledge is power
The statement "if you want to hide something from an African man hide it in a book"... is so true
Some days ago I was chatting a friend of mine and he wanted to figure out what I actually do and how I make money
He asked me to teach him how I make my money but I refused, but he told me some of his predicament and I gave him a book, that book is wortg $16 dollars on Amazon, Cheap right but the knowledge the book contains is vital and I told him, "bro read this book, when you are done tell me, I'll give you more book to read and if you read them all I'll teach you.
He said" 😕😕😕😕😕u want make my head blow with the book I won read just because I won earn money, bro no I no fit" meaning is it necessary for him to read to make money... Then I told him If you can't read the book I sent to you, you can't make money, I'm sorry bro, Knowledge is power, that book I gave you has a lot of value and I gave it for free
He said I have a company and I should teach him, so he can work under me.... I said I don't want you to work under me, I want you to have a company like mine, but he didn't agree to read the book
Now that book is one of the most sources business books, I also wanted to give him books from authors like Robert kiyosaki, but he has lost an opportunity because of his mindset and laziness
Growing up, I had opportunity to be exposed to some business knowledge, at the age of 11 or 12 I read my first Robert kiyosaki book, you know what that means, I was exposed to knowledge at a younger age, changing my mindset, changingy reasoning, differentiation me from other and later if people see me excel they will be surprised abs think I go there easily,
unknown to them I started at a young age gaining essential knowledge and one of the best sources of knowledge is a book. They say the secret to life lies in the pages of books and that's true because if we don't get to see successful people and learn and interact from their experiences, we get that from their books, they knowledge and experience they have passing it to us
My advice, my advice... Read a book
Readers excels🤞

Hi, sorry for my inactivity
I'm back now
So be expecting more articles from me 😁🤞
Why I don't eat outside
Late last year I was learning photography, so I went out with my teacher to a house party and as a good and shy child I was I planned not to eat
We went to the place and set up, photography started, I was learning, he was teaching and telling me some field manipulations, at a point he said I should go to sit
So, I went to the back, sat down unknown to me that the kitchen was there and that's where they are gonna be serving food from 😂 (Omo see temptation)
And you know all this *delicacy jellof cooked by Yorubas... Omo pepper go plenty. I dey salivate tire but I was still determined that I won't eat😅
They started sharing food, imagine the kind temptation, not only jellof oh, assorted types of soups, as I was in a dilemma, a woman came to me and asked what I'll prefer. I said no worries, I don't feel like eating, more came to ask the same question but all avail, it was as if God was giving me a second chance and I was throwing it away
My teacher came to the back where I was staying as collected food, as he was about to eat it, he learnt I haven't eaten. So, he gave me his food, I rejected at first but due to too much pressure accepted it
It was a bittersweet situation, but I eventually gave in and took my first spoon, hmmm nice, I said to myself....is this what I was about to miss and I thanked for my teacher but after I finished the food, it was remaining the meat.
I steered at it and it steered at me back it was almost like we were communicating and it fully understood to what I was saying (lol) . As I carried to my teeth with my spoon to bite it, to my surprise it wasn't meat, rather hide, I was supposed to let go cos I can't eat hide in public but I said let me just take a bite from it.
As I tried taking a bite, the hide slip from the spoon into my throat and go stuck, it was not going in nor coming out... I was loosing breathing and I was hot and sweating profusely, I looked up just to see two girls taking selfies of me in my predicament. It was like a lightning bolt, the hide came out and I vomited it into my plate
Luckily for me, one of the women serving saw what happened, she rushed to me, collected the plate, gave me napkin to clean up and gave me water. Well to the glory of God I'm alive but since that day I have sworn never to eat outside again 😂
