I went to Stanbic IBTC bank today to make enquiry about their investment packages. Apparently they are one of the best when it comes to investments.
I met the security man inside and I explained what I wanted to do, he dialed a number and asked me to speak to the woman, according to him, he said she’s the manager.
I spoke to her and she explained everything to me and told me to come to her office, and I told her I’m already at their office and she told me no, that I should come to UBA bank to meet her.
So apparently, she works in UBA but the security man who works in Stanbic IBTC is promoting another bank and is redirecting customers to meet her.
The thing has been disturbing me since and I’m wondering why someone will behave like that.
But you can’t have a 4 bed house, nice garage and driveway, big garden, spacious bedrooms and home office inside an ISA.
Buy that house, folks! You’re not just buying comfort, you’re also building equity.
A Nigerian engineer once told me something I haven’t stopped thinking about.
He said, “The day I got my offer letter from Amsterdam, my colleague reported me to HR.”
I asked him why.
He said, “Because I was about to earn in one month what he’d earned in three years.”
Then he said, “And the worst part? I understood him.”

A child lacks wisdom, yet people pray that the child does not die prematurely — for what kills more surely than foolishness?

What game did the cat catch on the farm that made it race home demanding baskets to haul it back?
[Don't make a big fuss over little results; excessive fanfare over a trivial achievement undermines both its importance and one's judgement]

People notice those who slap back, but ignore the one who pinched them first.

Oh you’re Canadian.
I promise, when we are talking about those that will divorce their husbands over period cramps, I will bring u in.

Let the hawk that scorns vultures as mere small birds, dare come out in the open - if it wouldn't find itself roasted at the fireplace.
[Keep to your lane and run your own race: you don't know anyone's story; don’t let arrogance blind you to the unseen safeguards others may have]
