Walk into new hope this day

Hope is your best gee, it keeps you alive even when all is blank.

Those things which never mount to something, hope will gather them to something.

Hope Never Dies 👌

HOW TO APPROACH YOUR CUSTOMERS

The picture attached with this content shows my conversation with a customer.

If you checked the date of our conversation, it is on Tuesday and today, being Friday at 12:59am; that's over two days.

The conversation as a matter of fact, started on Monday at 11:41pm by the customer asking "How much?". (That time was not a time of business actually)

I replied him on Tuesday at 12:06am so he won't feel disappointed. As a business owner, you shouldn't work all through the hours of the day so you won't worn out. Your health is important to your business.

Coming back again on Friday at 12:34am isn't a good work hour as well. I saw the message, I was busy with other things and couldn't reply immediately. He started the conversation with a very good excuse. I didn't jump to our conversation of Monday by telling him to make payment because he needed my help and was delaying me.

Your approach shouldn't be as though you are after their money. Let them know you care for them. When they are in good state of mind it is then you would find them around to patronize you. Don't always be too forward to ask them to make payment, also ask them about their last sales or services rendered, if they enjoyed it or faced with difficulties. They will be glad you did and would never forget to always patronize you even when it isn't convenient for them.

In summary, priorities goo health for yourself, our business is dependent of it. Your customers well-being and satisfaction is also your well-being, when they are not fine you can't be fine.

InnovativePen says, make more productive sales.

I AM A TEACHER

If there is a part that I have chosen and would choose over and over again, it is to be a proud teacher!

Please, In everything that you must do, don't try to compare my profession with any other. E get why o!

I await a day anyone would ever try to debate on which is better of teacher and any other occupation/profession that our school has made us do while in school. I will stand them to the face and boldly tell such never to ever do that, these act is on of the reasons you all underestimate the power of a teacher. It starts when you begin to compare a cat to a lion, what effrontery.

No profession equals a teacher and something to even be debated on, life starts with the help of a teacher and it even end with the help of a teacher. In essence, the kind of teacher who submit to makes or mar us.

Tell me, what have you ever done that you weren't taught consciously or unconsciously?

I will demystify the TEACHER as a profession. Stay woke to my posts.

EVERY SCAR HAS A STORY

The journey wasn't as though as I thought. Iya teacher would always warn us on our frivolous attitudes towards academics; how could an SS3 students not even dare to pick up his book and read even a page while exam is just so close as he could ever imagine? That's me here ☺️

I was so young and unwise. The realities of life is yet to look at me in the eyes those time. I really thought Iya Teacher was overdoing things and why she couldn't even mind her own business and let me enjoy the life of my head. WAEC came and gone, it was an excellent failure(six f9's) because I laid on my bed the way I lain the bedspread. Another O'level came out, I registered and still never was ready for life reality, I finished exam and still had poor grades though wasn't as bad as the first one. I took in teaching job as I left my comfort place to see life realities somewhere outside of my home.

Life showed me a bit of shege and added banza to it. My new environment gave me new younger ones. All I could see was that they were all doing better than I was even while they're still in school and I am already out. I couldn't even construct good sentences as at that time in 2015. My knowledge bank was not even to be compared to theirs at all. Omor! I really was disappointed in myself 😞

I was a cute failure mehn! I only could embrace myself, picked up my shattered self and began to do the little that I can. I really improved and sat for another exam in 2015, mabe I did well no one could tell because my result was held that year while my friends had some good grades though they were assisted. I was courageous enough because I had greatly improved, I registered for JAMB and NECO in 2016, I awaited NECO result while I sat for my JAMB, the score wasn't encouraging enough despite my thorough preparation, NECO was nice though🙂.

I took post UTME form in 2016, I became a graduate of Business Administration and Management in D.S Adegbenro ICT Poly with an Upper Credit despite my past scars in 2018.

in few months time, I see a new degree to be bagged. 🤗

Indeed, every scars must have a story.

What are you scars? Hope they are meant for glory. If not, you don f**k up!

I am telling you, that's my least achievement, I never allowed my scars to debar me from the glory ahead. I haven't stopped growing, I am in the process.

I am a preacher of Hope. I tell you today, Hope Never Dies!

THE WORLD NEEDS YOU

You are already missing out a lot. You just left your tasks undone. Gosh! Who's gonna help you out?

I didn't want to jump into this challenge at first since it would require a lot from me. At that moment, I realized that there are words untold that needs to be told. It dawned on me that I need to remind someone that the world needs them since they have forgotten.

I am glad to inform you that you're one of the people the world needs. You're not useless, for whatsoever things that might have happened, count them as your past. You're unique regardless of the kind of person you might have been before now. There is none like you and there will ever be none!

You are already filling an empty space in some people's life. So, don't even think of leaving them yet!

You're a brother/Sister to some people, they really trust you and looking at you as a role model. Don't even dare to f**k up!

You didn't fall from the sky, hell no! You belong to a family who has counted you in regardless of the background. Don't even try to spoil that name and make them ever regret you were born into the family.

I am rooting for you already because the world needs you.

Dust yourself and make yourself known to the world as the light it needs to shine. I can't wait to see your flag flapping in the sky.

WURA: RAMBO KILLED HIMSELF

Yes, Rambo killed himself. He allowed the societal prejudice have a say over him. He is a strong Man, I must confess. He killed himself by killing his stance of the changed man he confessed to Iya Mide. He couldn't stand the test of time and rather put Mide into another mess due to the pressure from Oga Warder. Rambo should have devise means to put him behind the bar for the corrupt act despite knowing how hard things were for him and his business associate in their bakery business.

Gracefully, Rambo is not dead, he should put the blame on Oga Warder as an excuse for going back to his old life.

Or what do you think?

WURA: Jeje and Mide

Well, you might think Mide is the bad egg hearing Jeje speak less of him. Is there anything that distinguishes Jeje from Mide at all? No, there is nothing!

This is where class boundary (Marxist theory) comes to play; Jeje who belongs to the bourgeoisie(the wealthy class), his crimes were easily covered and Mide who belongs to ths proletariat couldn't have his crimes covered and that made his crimes obvious since he couldn't have his name cleaned.

Wura made use of her power, brought one of the law enforcer, Detective Kolapo to his use, protected herself and his dear cousin, Jeje who was a weapon of destruction of Wura.

Jeje would suit up to look like a saint, Mide on the other was no match with Jeje and everyone in Iperindo almost knows him as a criminal. A known devil(Mide), isn't he better than a devil in clothes of an angel(Jeje)?

The issue here is the hidden identity of Jeje to everyone, we the viewers can only tell of how much evil he has committed greater than that of Mide. Here in this scene, Jeje still speak evil of Mide, a devil like him.

What's your own opinion about both characters?

Because I am a soldier,
I failed in my duty
My neighbor I left on the field
Wounded were they because they're vulnerable

Many shall be missing, when the roll is called.
When I shall give account
My balance sheet will not balance
And, I will owe debt
That I can't pay neither any would

Now that I can,
Let me do all that I can

I hope to find grace
And carry all that are down.

Hope for the weary.
