We will never know the depth of what the Japa phenomenon has done to many families and communities.

A family of 4kids,
One in usa, One in Australia, One in UK and the last one in Abuja. Mother is dead, father is old and lives in the village. This is not an isolated case. This is the story of thousands of families.

Friends split. Communities fractured. Families torn apart. Because the country has become such a hard place that so many have to travel far and wide to make something meaningful out of life.

Eventually for the money we chase and the survival we seek, by going far far away from home due to no fault of our own, we all eventually pay back in a price far higher than money can give.

To you who has missed the birth of your child, the burial of a loved one, the graduation of a sibling, the hugs of your family, because you were far away…

To everyone who has had to go far away from home, or who has had loved ones who have had to go far away from home, this one is for you…

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

I bought sand from Chinese men and signed a receipt written in Chinese.

I was running a construction project and needed sharp sand urgently.

Went to the dredging site. Sand being pumped straight from the river in large quantities.

I asked who owned the operation.

Chinese men bought the land. The river included.

Our river. Our sand. Their business.

I asked for the price. We agreed. Then they handed me a receipt.

Written entirely in Chinese.

I said I cannot sign what I cannot read.

They said drop the sand and collect your refund.

I needed that sand badly.

I signed.

They released the sand.

I sat in my car thinking about this country.

WEAK PEOPLE ARE RULED BY EMOTIONS!

I started studying law in my 30s after having two young children. By the time I left the law school, they had become three.

The people around me at the time gave me a thousand reasons why it was the wrong move due to my age, my family, my young children, my lack of immigration status, the number of years it would take me to complete the whole process, and the fact that I would have to pay for it privately.

Rather than being discouraged, their negative reasons motivated me, and I saw the future benefits rather than the pain I would go through. It took me 7 years of pain, but I have had 26 years of living my dreams and counting. The family they wanted to use to discourage me is now one of the beneficiaries of my selflessness.

Listen closely, if you don’t pay the price now, you will chase the prize for the rest of your life.

I remember starting with several people, but most dropped out. One of them said the law books were too heavy. One said there was too much to read. Another said all his friends who read law could not get a job, but I told them I was not looking for a job but to create jobs, and it came to pass.

Don’t let your emotions rule your life. How many people have you unfollowed on social media this year? They don’t even know you unfollowed them. Why are you punishing yourself?

Emotion is what makes many people break up good relationships. It is emotion that makes people write or say things they will regret for the rest of their lives. It is emotion that makes people abandon their goals and projects. It is emotion that will make someone go under another person’s post and abuse them. It is emotion that makes people attack people physically or verbally, either digitally or in person. It is emotion that makes people post their frustrations online. We all have issues.

Weak people are controlled by their emotions, which makes them fail, but strong people are in control of their emotions, and it takes them to higher heights in life.

If you control your emotions, you will conquer the world. You will make friends rather than lose friends. You will build institutions rather than become a corner shop. If you don’t understand this message, it is very simple: Grow up and stop being childish.

Told he was not Goldman Sachs material. Now he runs the firm.

David Solomon was rejected twice by Goldman Sachs.

The second time was brutal.

He made it to the final interview and had to meet a partner at the firm.

The partner looked at his CV and said, "David, let's face it, you're really not Goldman Sachs material."

Today, he is the CEO of Goldman Sachs.

"Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."

Rejection is only feedback. Persistence rewrites destiny.

Hold your head up and keep going🙏

Share this with someone who needs encouragement today, and follow for more real stories of persistence and success.

They brought a violently mad man to ArchBishop Benson Idahosa’s church.
They chained him with multiple chains as he was capable of breaking chains.

Despite the chains, 9 able-bodied men carried him to the church.
On sighting the mad man, God’s servant, as instructed by God, spoke to the mad man to lose the chain himself & walk home by himself.

As he said this, the whole crowd ran back. He didn’t pray for him, he only commanded him to do as said.
The man who was brought in mad went on to have a masters degree, married with 4 children, and living well.

The anointing in the Word of God breaks every chain

"I just went to buy a Samsung washer and dryer from a guy, and he was asking $500. I told him I just had a kid and if he could take $400, I’d be really grateful. I got home, hooked everything up, and everything worked great. I opened up the dryer to check the lint filter and I was shocked my $400 was sitting in there. I got a message from him saying, 'Check the dryer. A gift for the new baby.' Man, words can't describe how grateful I am right now. 😳 I feel so blessed; I felt I had to share. Big shout out to David! Thank you so much!"

Dear men,

The number one reason for marital discord is not cheating. It is money.

Let that sink in.

Your wife can accept your apology for cheating. But apology does nothing to poverty.

So, make money before you get honey, if you want your home to be in harmony!

Dear citizens of Nigeria,

Garba Shehu, @GarShehu, who said @MBuhari has made Nigeria safer, has rejected my offer to spend a night in Kware or Koshobe, without security for $20000.

Should I increase the offer to $50000?

Retweet for YES. Like for NO

To create new dimensions of impact through your leadership, you must think outside the box. You also need to allow the mavericks that tend to see things differently on your team to express themselves. What got you here may not get you beyond here. #leadership

The only time a car goes fast without effort is when it is going downhill. Every other occasion requires effort. The reason God gave you a strong able body is so you can apply effort that he can bless. Prayer without effort is a like downhill drive
