I saw my Old Classmate, felt Pity for him...

One day, I met an old Classmate. We had not seen each other for about 20 years.

When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, he wore simple clothes. I felt touched.

He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me, I was not impressed with his status compared to mine, I couldn't hide it.

We exchanged contact details, and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

I told him I would drop him home in my brand new Range Rover but he declined and said he had already called for his car, a 2001 Honda Accord.

I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, to show off my success while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to lekki, where I lived. He looked impressed with my house, one I had taken a heavy mortgage to acquire and thereafter we had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate.

I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him that if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans. He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over to his place soon. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I have. “All fingers are not equal," I thought to myself.

Two weeks later, my wife and I went to see him in a remote area. Initially, my wife was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status to warrant our visiting him in his house.

I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college.

We saw the estate in Abule Egba . We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke of his name with deference.

It was a simple but lovely home. A 4-bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his house. It was simply elegant, he welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served, his wife calls him Megida .

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the Estate.

I did not know when I called him, Sir. I was in awe of him, too.

I had learnt a lesson in humility, a Big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans, and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life.

What Amaechi told me about APC leaders’ emergency meeting with Buhari – Dele Momodu

Ovation publisher and media mogul, Dele Momodu has revealed that he spoke with Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi about their emergency meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday. Amaechi visited the ailing President in the Abuja House, London along with Kaduna state Governor Nasir El-Rufai, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) John Oyegun and Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha. Momodu, writing on his Twitter page late on Sunday, admitted that he had a video call with the former Rivers Governor, to confirm the visit and also ask about Buhari’s wellbeing. He wrote: “The Biblical Thomas could easily have been a Nigerian as we doubt everything; just had a video call with ROTIMI AMAECHI in London. “ROTIMI AMAECHI has confirmed to me in a video call minutes ago that he and other APC Chieftains indeed met with President Buhari this noon. “The video call became necessary when I got strident calls from those doubting the authenticity of the media release from FEMI ADESINA. ”Reacting to a user who asked him what Amaechi told him, Momodu tweeted: “The President is in great spirit. Nothing different from what the Acting President told Nigerians after a similar visit. “I didn’t start this job today, My source is solid and impeccable; Amaechi won’t confirm if untrue, he will keep mute!”

We @ DaScope Magazine wish our President quick recovery and safe trip when coming back home. God bless Nigeria and God bless my crew

MMM, a former Russian company that perpetrated one of the biggest scams in the 90’s has resurrected in Nigeria, and is making quite a wave.Thousands of Nigerians have invested in the ponzi scheme, and despite warnings from the Central Bank of Nigeria and a threat from the EFCC to desist from it, many people are still putting their money into the scheme, which could crash any moment from now.Here are 6 rea*ons why CBN or EFCC can’t do anything about shutting down MMM operations in Nigeria at the moment:*.There is no law against it*.No one has complained of losing money. There hasn’t been a significant amount of complaint from the public about losing money to the scheme.*.Law enforcement agents also invest in it. It is alleged that policemen and EFCC officials haveshares in the scheme. This makes them less enthusiastic about curbing its activities in the country.*.FG is busy. The EFCC and CBN have more pressing matters to deal with. Their hands are already full with the anti-corruption war so fighting MMM is not on their priority list.*.MMM is faceless. There is no registered officeor bank account attributed to MMM, making it hard to be targeted by the federal government.*.The Presidency is silent about it.
