[BSAT Properties @BSAT_Properties]

I just randomly remembered my friend Awwal today. We both attended LASU together

Back in 300 level, one of our semester exams fell during Ramadan

The night before one of the papers, we decided to do night reading in his hostel. After Sahoor, we told ourselves, “Let’s just take a quick nap before heading to school” Omo… na so we sleep forget.

The exam was by 11:00 a.m., and normally you’re expected to be in the exam hall at least 30 minutes before the start. I was the first to wake up. 10:47 a.m

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest

I quickly woke Awwal up and we rushed out. By the time we got to the exam hall, it was already 11:15 a.m

The invigilators didn’t even listen to any story. They said the rule is the rule: we should come back and write the course the following session since we were “not serious with our lives.”

Nothing we didn’t do... begging, explaining, pleading, E no work.

We stepped aside and stood somewhere close to the hall, hoping maybe one of them would pity us and call us back inside. Still nothing.

Then I remembered the story of the men trapped in the cave (Ashabul Kahf type of lesson we learned about calling upon Allah through good deeds). So I told Awwal:

“Guy, maybe we should try something like that. Let’s remind Allah of one sincere good deed we’ve done purely because we fear Him. Maybe He will consider us.”

I went first.

I said something like: “Ya Allah, please consider the fact that even with my very extroverted lifestyle, I have never consciously smoked or drunk alcohol purely out of fear of You.”

Before I could even finish, Awwal looked at me and said: “You be fool.”

He said smoking is not even clearly haram, and that alcohol in small quantities is even present in some drugs and food preservatives.

I just told him, “That’s why I said consciously, olodo.”

Now it was his turn.

Awwal cleared his throat and said:
“Ya Allah, please consider the day soldiers slapped me twice at the LASU gate while I was doing task force duty… and I didn’t slap them back because I feared You.”

Bro,I didn’t even know when I burst out laughing.

Me that was supposed to be crying because they refused to let me write my exam.

But that his confession just finished me. Because how now?

Soldiers slapped you twice at LASU gate and you didn’t return the slap… and you’re calling that fear of Allah?

My brother, that one is not fear of Allah. That one is fear of soldiers. If he had returned the slap, those soldiers would have beaten the living daylight out of him right there at LASU-Igando gate.

Na survival instinct be that, not piety.

Anyway, while we were still outside, the lecturer in charge of the course happened to pass by. We ran to him and explained everything

The funny part? He was a Christian

But he understood immediately. He even said Sahoor sleep can be like that sometimes, especially if you studied overnight

Just like that, he allowed us to go in and sit for the exam. Meanwhile, the invigilators who sent us out earlier were Muslims

That day taught me something important:

It’s not always about who shares your religion. Sometimes help comes through whoever God decides to use

And to be fair to those invigilators, they were simply doing their job. The instruction was clear: late students don’t enter the hall

We were the ones who overslept

We were the ones who broke the rule

Expecting them to bend the rule just because we share the same religion would have been unfair

Many people go through life expecting special treatment from others simply because of shared religion, tribe, or background

Life doesn’t work that way

Also, some of us think we are stacking up “good deeds” in very funny ways, expecting heaven to be impressed.

Just dey play.

The day you realize these two things:

1. God can send help through anyone, not just people who look like you or worship like you

2. Many people you think have wronged you were simply doing their job or following instructions

Wisdom

[Apostle Harrison Ayintete @Preacherrapper]

You grew up in winners or rccg, you believed God prospers, you gave sacrificially, you saw miracles of provisions, you worked hard, you saw favour, you saw things happen that only God’s hand can orchestrate, then you joined christocentric community and all of a sudden your anthem is that God doesn’t prosper, it’s all common sense, you no longer walk in supernatural supply, all your inflow is logically calculated, yet you don’t see anything wrong!

If you have a better knowledge of God, it should improve every dimension of your experience with Him, not the opposite!

Sometimes, the preachers are not the problem, you personally just don’t want to have sense!

You know how much your mother prayed in a CAC church before you were delivered from demonic experiences from your polygamous home , now you are christocentric, you say demonic things are just in the mind.

Your knowledge should be progressive and not illusive!

You won’t say I didn’t tell you.

The fact that I don’t push you towards christocentric extremes means I care for your soul because someday the hype will wear out and you will regain your senses!

I remember back then when @pastorpoju would make comments on football before he starts his message many of our ministers would criticize him saying the pulpit is not for such. Today some of the same ministers do the same.

In life, own your method, don't let others define you.

@renoomokri Where are you tweeting from again please?

[Opeyemi Babalola @BOTAD01]

Man stole so much when he was in government years ago. Sent his children out of the country early and bought houses for them abroad. He bought a lot of properties in Nigeria too and lived way above his means as a civil servant, but who cares?

Baba retired, went to stay abroad, and age caught up with him. He is on wheelchair right now, and his children are selling off the "known" properties because they are not ready to relocate back to Nigeria or have anything to do with this place.

At his 80th birthday in January, his last born jokingly asked if he could still remember where other properties were located so they could sell it when he is still alive and he couldn't remember anything. They know he had more, but he couldn't remember.

When we left that birthday party, I asked myself, why will a man steal that much that will be useless for him at his old age? Death will come one day, and no amount of money or property will stop it from taking that life.

@renoomokri Being good is not about tribe or religion, it is about the person. I have seen dubious people from the core north conniving to rip people off while there are southerners who are also extremely good. It is the humanity we should commend and not religion or ethnicity.

@realFFK You should know that Governor Sanwo-olu also participated in the arson and as a sitting governor of Loagos State.
