*A Life-Changing Lesson*

At exactly 4:00 PM on Saturday, I received an unexpected call from our secondary school alumni group. One of our classmates had been languishing in prison since October of last year—over 9 months—due to what should have been a minor traffic offence. Sadly, the case involved a highly influential individual whose car was hit, and the situation was blown far out of proportion.

This morning, I joined a few of our old schoolmates in court, resolved to do whatever we could to secure his release. What I saw broke my heart. Our classmate was a shadow of himself—frail, gaunt, and clearly crushed by the long, lonely months in detention.

We moved quickly: hired a lawyer, made some key calls, and by God’s grace, he was finally released today.

But the real lesson here is far deeper than the legal victory.

*What This Taught Me:*

*1. Don’t Walk Alone in Life*
Our classmate lived in complete isolation. No church, no pastor, no active friendships—he had even cut himself off from our alumni group. The last time many of us saw or heard from him was in 1991. When he got arrested, his wife had no one to call. It wasn’t until one of us randomly contacted her that we even learned of his situation.

*2. You Were Not Designed to Do Life Alone*
From the moment we’re born to the time we leave this world, we need people. Parents, nurses, friends, teachers, colleagues, neighbors—even those who carry our casket. God created us for community, not solitude. Independence is good, but isolation is dangerous.

*3. Don’t Push Everyone Away*
Some people cut ties with others under the belief that “everyone is bad” or “people can't be trusted.” While caution is wise, total withdrawal is self-sabotage. Not everyone is perfect—but not everyone is harmful. Many are God-sent helpers waiting to show up for you, if only you’d let them in.

*4. Community Is a Lifeline*
When you live in isolation, even the smallest challenge can become a life-threatening crisis. But when you live in a community, even the biggest problems become manageable. Our classmate’s seven-month ordeal could have been resolved in days—if only he had stayed connected.

*5. Relationships Are an Investment*
Like a bank account, if you don’t make deposits, you can’t make withdrawals. Nurture your relationships. Check in. Be present. Show up for others—and you’ll find that, in your own time of need, people will show up for you too.

To my classmates who showed up at court today *—thank you for reminding us that real friendship does not expire.* Your presence, prayers, and actions made all the difference. Let’s keep standing by one another.

Please share this message. You might just reach someone silently suffering in isolation.

Remind them:
*You need people. You always will. Don’t do life alone.*

*PEOPLE COVER US* *MORE THAN CLOTHES*

That's the truth!

*COPIED!*

When I was a young lecturer at the University of Lagos, teaching Public Law, the department had three typists: the chief typist, the senior typist, and the junior typist.

Back then, before laptops and personal computers, typists were the backbone of academic work. Every lecture note, research paper, and official document had to be typed manually.

But here’s what I observed:

🔹 The chief typist disappeared when work piled up—strictly a 4 p.m. worker.

🔹 The senior typist? Nowhere to be found.

🔹 But the junior typist, a man named Adereni, with only a school certificate, was different.

Hardworking.

Dedicated. I often dropped him off at home at 1 a.m.

Years later, while serving as an adviser to the Attorney General of the Federation, I got a call from Hon. Bola Ajibola (who later became a judge at the World Court in The Hague).

He needed a diligent, hardworking secretary to assist with long legal judgments. I had three choices: chief typist, senior typist, or Adereni—the junior typist with just a school certificate.

I chose Adereni.

He went to The Hague, worked so diligently that every judge wanted him on their team. Eventually, he moved his family there, earned degrees, and built a successful life.

One day, he remembered me.
And sent me a car.

Lesson?
Someone is always watching.
Hard work never goes unnoticed.

THE HAGGARD LOOKING PAINTING

Mrs. Thompson was a billionaire grandmother known for her vast fortune and philanthropic endeavors. Despite her wealth, she chose to live in a small, cozy house that held sentimental value. Among her many grandchildren, only one, named Alex, had chosen to live with her, sacrificing his youth to care for her in her old age.

The other grandchildren were busy with their own lives, pursuing careers and building their own families. They would occasionally visit Mrs. Thompson, but it was Alex who was always there for her, tending to her needs and sharing stories with her.

As Mrs. Thompson's health began to decline, she sent for all her grandchildren to come and see her one last time. With her final breath, she distributed her vast fortune among them, leaving each one a significant inheritance. However, to Alex, she gave a different gift – a haggard-looking painting that had hung in her sitting room for years.

The other grandchildren mocked Alex, wondering why their grandmother had given him such a seemingly worthless gift. "What good is an old painting?" they would say. But Alex knew that the painting held sentimental value, and he cherished it for the love and bond it represented between him and his grandmother.

After Mrs. Thompson's passing, Alex was heartbroken, but his friends rallied around him. One of them suggested that they clean up the painting and take it to an art store to see if it was worth anything. Alex agreed, and they carefully took the painting out of the house.

The art store owner was astonished when he saw the painting. "Where did you get this?" he asked, his eyes wide with excitement. Alex explained the story, and the owner smiled. "This is a rare masterpiece, worth far more than all your grandmother's wealth," he said.

The news stunned Alex, and he couldn't believe that the painting he had been given was so valuable. The other grandchildren were shocked and regretful, realizing too late that they had underestimated the gift given to Alex.

As the news spread, Alex became the wealthiest of the grandchildren, but more importantly, he had the satisfaction of knowing that his grandmother had recognized his love and devotion. The painting became a symbol of their bond, and Alex treasured it not just for its monetary value but for the memories and emotions it represented.

From that day on, Alex used his newfound wealth to support his family and community, becoming a respected philanthropist in his own right. The story of the haggard-looking painting became a legend, reminding everyone that true value often lies in unexpected places, and that love and loyalty can be the greatest wealth of all.
This can be compared to the story of the old rugged cross ❌. Despised and rejected by men yet the most valuable and the dearest of all. Have you got, do you cherish it or have you dropped it off?

The Survivor

A group of travelers had set sail with high spirits, eager to reach their destination. But fate had other plans. As a sudden storm brewed, their boat was tossed about like a toy, and a catastrophic mishap occurred. The vessel splintered apart, sending everyone into the churning waters.

In the chaos, one man managed to grab hold of a piece of debris and began swimming towards the shore. Exhausted and battered, he finally stumbled onto the sandy beach of a nearby island. As he looked back, he saw no signs of the others, and the realization hit him like a ton of bricks – he was alone.

The man spent days crying and lamenting, questioning why God would allow such a tragedy to befall him. But as the days turned into weeks, he knew he had to survive. Using his resourcefulness, he built a makeshift hut from leaves and sticks, gathered fruits from the wild, and continued to call out to God for rescue.

Days turned into months, and the man's hope began to wane. Despite his fervent prayers, no rescue came. One day, while he was out foraging for food, a mysterious fire swept through the island, engulfing his hut. The man returned to find his home reduced to ashes, and he wept uncontrollably. He cried out for help, but the silence was deafening.

As the flames danced high into the air, a group of sailors spotted the fire from a distance. Intrigued, they altered their course and followed the smoke. As they drew closer, they saw the man standing amidst the ruins of his hut, his face etched with despair.

The sailors anchored their boat and approached the man cautiously. They found him stunned, but alive. Slowly, they coaxed him into telling his story, and as he spoke, tears streamed down his face. The sailors listened, offering words of comfort, and eventually, they took him aboard their vessel.

As the island receded into the distance, the man felt a mix of emotions – relief, gratitude, and perhaps a hint of guilt for having been spared while his companions perished. The sailors provided him with food, clothing, and shelter, and slowly, he began to heal.

The journey back to civilization would be long, but the man knew he was no longer alone. He had found solace in the kindness of strangers, and perhaps, just perhaps, this was the rescue he had been praying for all along.

Dear reader, don't dispere, help is on the way, appreciate God first of all for sparing your life, we are on a voyage, others drowned but we are alive, there's hope for a living dog than for a dead lion. So trust God and look up for a rescue is closer than you know maybe, just maybe out of the unthinkable!

The Hidden Treasure

A farmer, tired of his hard labor, sold his farm to a wealthy merchant. The merchant, eager to explore his new property, began digging the land to plant a garden. As he dug, his shovel struck something hard. Upon further excavation, he uncovered a chest filled with gold coins and precious jewels.

The farmer, who had sold the farm, heard about the discovery and approached the merchant. "That treasure belonged to me," the farmer claimed. "I didn't know it was there, but it's rightfully mine."

The merchant disagreed, saying, "I bought the farm, and everything on it belongs to me."

The two men went to a wise judge to resolve the dispute. After listening to their arguments, the judge asked the merchant, "Do you have children?" The merchant replied, "Yes, I have a son." The judge then asked the farmer, "Do you have children?" The farmer replied, "Yes, I have a daughter."

The wise judge thought for a moment and then said, "Marry the children to each other and give them the treasure. This way, it will be shared among them, and both families will benefit."

The merchant and the farmer were surprised but agreed to the judge's solution. Through this arrangement, both families gained not only the treasure but also a new bond with each other.

The story teaches us that sometimes, what seems like a problem can lead to an unexpected blessing. It highlights the importance of wisdom, compromise, and the potential for new opportunities in unexpected places.

WAR AGAINST BEFITTING BURIAL

Let's Wage War against "befitting burial", to encourage BEFITTING LIVING.

LETTER FROM LATE MOTHER TO HER SON - THREE DAYS AFTER HER BURIAL:

Dear Son,

I want to know why I died like a poor woman when I have a Son like you.

My Son, I wanted to bless you before I die, but now I have gone with my blessings.

My breakfast, my lunch and my dinner was one of my challenges when I was alive, but you spent money to cook all types of foods, meats and different types of drinks on my burial day.

My Son, you choose to spread and rubbed my dead body with costly fragrance when I was using groundnut oil as my favourite cream.

You dressed my Co**se with an expensive cloth when it was difficult to buy a wrapper for me.

When my Co**se was in the Mortuary you came to check on me from time to time, you care about my Co**se than when I was alive why?

The most painful thing is the kind of expensive coffin you put my Co**se when I was living in an uncompleted house.

When you were young I starved for you to eat and be satisfied, I wore one cloth in order to provide enough clothes for you. I thought you would take care of me when I grow old.

You completed the house, painted it and cleared the compound in one week just to celebrate my Co**se.

Now you wrote tribute to me saying "Mama, I love you so much rest in peace" - When I died with a broken heart.

Finally, my son, I wrote this to remind you that there is no other person that loves a child like a Father/mother.

May God forgive you

Let's Wage War against "befitting burial", to encourage BEFITTING LIVING.

Take absolute care of your parents while they are still alive.

MAY GOD HELP US.

An Alarming Rise in INFIDELITY in Marriages, Causes and solutions!

Infidelity in marriage is a complex issue with multiple factors contributing to its prevalence. Some possible reasons for the rise in infidelity cases include:
- *Lack of communication and intimacy*: Unmet emotional and physical needs can lead partners to seek fulfillment outside the marriage.
- *Increased opportunities for connection*: Social media, dating apps, and online platforms can facilitate secret relationships.
- *Changing societal norms and expectations*: Evolving attitudes toward marriage, relationships, and fidelity can influence behavior.
- *Personal issues and insecurities*: Low self-esteem, insecurity, or unresolved trauma can contribute to infidelity.
- *Lack of commitment and effort*: Neglecting relationship maintenance and ignoring issues can create an environment conducive to infidelity.

To salvage a situation involving infidelity, consider the following steps:
- *Acknowledge and accept responsibility*: The unfaithful partner should take ownership of their actions and acknowledge the hurt caused.
- *Communicate openly and honestly*: Both partners should engage in open and honest discussions about the infidelity, its causes, and its consequences.
- *Seek counseling*: Marriage counseling can help couples work through underlying issues and develop strategies for rebuilding trust.
- *Rebuild trust*: The unfaithful partner should demonstrate commitment to the relationship and work to regain trust through consistent actions.
- *Foster intimacy and connection*: Couples should prioritize communication, emotional intimacy, and physical connection to strengthen their bond.
- *Forgiveness and healing*: Forgiveness is a process, and healing takes time. Both partners should be patient and work together to rebuild their relationship.

Some additional tips for rebuilding trust include:
- *Transparency*: The unfaithful partner should be transparent about their actions and whereabouts.
- *Consistency*: Consistent behavior and follow-through on commitments can help rebuild trust.
- *Emotional intimacy*: Couples should prioritize emotional connection and intimacy to strengthen their bond.
- *Couples therapy*: Regular therapy sessions can help couples work through issues and develop healthy communication patterns.

Rebuilding a relationship after infidelity requires effort, commitment, and patience from both partners. The Bible provides guidance on infidelity and offers solutions for healing and restoration. Here are some key points ;

- *Definition of Infidelity*: Infidelity is a breach of the marriage covenant, and the Bible emphasizes the importance of faithfulness in marriage. Exodus 20:14 states, "You shall not commit adultery," highlighting God's desire for loyalty and fidelity in relationships.
- *Consequences of Infidelity*: Infidelity can lead to deep emotional pain, destruction of trust, and even divorce. Proverbs 6:32-33 warns that committing adultery can bring shame, disgrace, and lasting consequences.
- *God's Response to Infidelity*: Despite the hurt caused by infidelity, God offers forgiveness and restoration. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Psalm 147:3 also reminds us that "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

- *Solutions for Healing*:
- *Forgiveness*: Forgiveness is a process that requires effort and commitment from both partners. Ephesians 4:32 encourages us to "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
- *Communication*: Open and honest communication is essential for rebuilding trust and strengthening relationships. Galatians 6:2 reminds us to "carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
- *Counseling*: Seeking counseling or therapy can help couples work through issues and develop healthy communication patterns. James 5:16 encourages us to "confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed."
- *Guarding the Heart*: Proverbs 4:23 advises us to "guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." This involves being mindful of our thoughts, emotions, and actions to prevent infidelity.
- *Preventing Infidelity*:
- *Nurturing Relationships*: 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 emphasizes the importance of fulfilling each other's needs within marriage to prevent temptation.
- *Pursuing Righteousness*: 1 Timothy 6:11 encourages us to "pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness" to create a strong foundation for relationships.
- *Accountability*: Having a strong support system and being accountable to others can help prevent infidelity.

Ultimately, the Bible offers hope for healing and restoration in the face of infidelity. By seeking God's guidance, forgiveness, and healing, couples can work towards rebuilding their relationships and strengthening their bond.
