Fun fact - 2013, I needed to meet my sales target at Smile 4G LTE because month end was fast approaching. Soo a friends dad asked me to visit Christ Life church. I didn’t know anyone, I just walked in and asked for their media department and gave them a free trial. They loved the internet but they couldn’t make any decision on behalf of the church. None could also do an intro to those who could make decisions.
In defeat, I just looked at the surrounding and said to myself. My transport to this place must not waste. The church had a small library that had his books. I started skimming through a couple of them. I kuku didn’t have money to buy any. Then the person selling the book insist I must buy one, I used my transport fare to buy one.
After buying it. My mind just said go and wait at the waiting room and be reading the book.
The receptionist asked me who I am waiting for. I said joking I said I am not leaving this place if I don’t see Bishop Wale Oke. I sat down and started reading. Ten minutes later, she received a call on the land line and said Bishop wants to see you now.
I was like haaaa. I started feeling very anxious, book in my palm, bag on my back filled with internet routers and mifi.
I entered the office. He didn’t talk to me, he spoke to one of his sons who was also in his office that he is having issues with his laptop and internet. I just jumped in. Sir, I want you to try this Internet. I connected him and Smile 4G gave him that blazing speed.
He asked what I wanted to see him for. I said I came to sell internet here but no one will listen to me. He laughed. He asked me to connect 5 for his building. And took me to one of his services. Everybody was looking at me. What does bishop wants to do for this young boy. He told the congregation that he used the best internet through me and everyone should patronize me.
I sold like 60 mifis and 10 dongles. My supervisor to had call and shout “Danjuma, what magic are you doing at Christlife!”
I went to thank Bishop and I said I really appreciates his kindness and asked what did you see in me that warrants such help.
He said he saw me reading a book at the reception. That’s enough to tell him about me and he was free at the time.
Such a wonderful man.
Learn from Davido - Family is everything.
Look at how he puts his image on the line for his Uncle.
You will be on social media throwing your family members under the bus for validation.
From the takes I’m seeing on this app, I understand better why some of you are so weak & cowardly, your parents made you that way.
The kind of unhealthy hold your parents have on many of you is insane. I respect my parents, & they also respect my wishes, as an adult, all they do is advise me, & whatever decision I take is ultimately left to me. But apparently, that is not the case for una.
Most of you were raised by unreasonable, narcissistic parents who believe their orders are supreme, even when it’s against your happiness, & the terrible part is you people think it’s normal & arguing for it. eww
What a pitiful life.
In anything you do in life, don't get used to crumbs. Make no mistake, they’ll times we may be forced to accept crumbs to move ahead, but make sure you are aware it is crumbs, and you deserve better. And if you accept crumbs for so long, you may start seeing it as normal.
