There's no reason for you not to be great because you have potentials and assets to be so. So says a School of thought.

Yesterday I made a trip to one of the border towns in my country home and usually because of heavy security presence you would not want to go on your personal vehicle but with Public transport.

As usual I woke very early in the morning and before 6'o clock local time in the morning I have got to the motor park . Afterwards , so many other passengers entered the bus I was and within a couple of some minutes the bus was good to go people had filled the bus. Then we started going. There was no way I can see everyone inthe vehicle but I know some men were there but the greater number of people in the bus were ladies and some were women.

We started going and one thing I noticed is that a lot security posts were mouthed on the highways which shows that there's no way you will pass without stopping you. The security posts mouthed by The Police , The Custom , The Immigrations , The Army , The Health Workers , The VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers ) ,each and every of one them has more than Ten posts cCmultiply by the units of the Security Agencies , you can imagine the number of times you will stop for checking. The number of security posts for the Police is by far greater and followed by that of The Custom.

Their mode of operation is Stop And Search . Every vehicle is stopped and they will open the bunnet of the vehicle to check whether you are carrying contraband. If you are heading towards the border of the country , two things they will check for : one whether anybody is carrying refined Petroleum product , two they will check whether there are illegal emigrant leaving the country without proper documentation.

To this end , our vehicle was stopped, "Everybody come down '. One of the fierce looking Police Officers directed. We all obeyed. Possibly the way I dressed none of them came to me. I wore a very decent looking local Fabrics with a cap to match. Looking straight towards others. " You go this way and you that way."One Police Officer talked. After the grouping , he later directed his voice to one beautiful Lady among the passengers , "Can you identify yourself ? The lady replied "you mean me " Am Aminat Muhammed a native of Sokoto in Sokoto State but I live In Lagos " The Police man looking unsatisfied . He retorted. "Where are you going towards the border '. What is your mission ?. The lady did not jump towards the question quickly. Rather , she first cleared her throat ,and replied this.

Intelligently she replied , " I have all my papers here and am not illegally going. I am University Student in Republic Of Benin studying Computer Science with Economics." She brought out one parcel with a lot of Papers qualifying her for the course and qualifying her to travel. The Police Officer attending to her said , "do you think the papers here are Genuine. ?" Yes " , the lady replied . She went further "Before I made up my mind to travel I have collected all relevant papers from all relevant Government Agencies " . Pointing to those papers one after the other. Knowing fully well that the lady was fully armed with facts and figures and never gives room to doubt her . He immediately changed the narration of the topic with the Lady. "Where in Benin Republic is your school ? Cotonou , the lady quickly replied again. She doesn't waste time in answering. "All the Laptops in my bag are meant for my course and each and everyone has a unique work they do for me and actually implanted with recording devices ". On hearing recording. The Police man quickly resorted to sharing jokes with her. "Am not disturbing you ", come driver come and be going " , I don't want these "book People" to shell my brain with Grammar , look ,. you drop something before you go. Na paper we go eat , I beg put something down ". The Lady grudgingly put half a dollar down for them.

Others in the bus that cannot articulate their points correctly and express themselves well were not made to continue the journey with us. They were punished for not knowing what they are going for or outrightly not having genuine assignment at hands. Possibly they displayed incoherence in their speeches.

From above analysis , the beauty of a woman or man lies in her intelligence. Intelligence speaks volumes of a man. The mental capacity of a man helps immensely in any situation he finds himself. It is intelligence application that the lady used by telling the policeman of the recording devices in her Laptop that saved the day for the lady.

She didn't show laxity in her intelligence answering of the questions put to her. She answers quickly and faster without wasting time. She knows where she is coming from and knows where she is heading to. She knows her worth. She knows what she is carrying. She fully believes in her self. She doesn't mesmerized and gives room for exploitation , not until the policeman actually and stylishly begged to give him something.

Exercise your mental capacity to evolve you prestige. Not all educated people can write articles. A guy saw me writing one day with my phone say around 9am in the morning when he was going out and jokingly said "share for me ooh when you collect it." And when he was coming back in the afternoon , he saw me again. I still hooked on with my phone. Meaning that I was still writing. But badly enough , he said he cannot write to such long hours. But can spend money if given. Invariably though educated , he cannot write articles of such long words. Those of us writing , it is our mental capacity that is fetching us money. And actually doing so prestigiously.

Thank God immensely , we are not morons. We are using our intelligence wisely to earn money for us. This is great. It cannot be said of those that are intentionally lazy. Laziness is a disease that cannot be cured with any drug but by changing your scope and concepts to life.
