Someone was asked why he had longevity in his industry while many other of his equally talented contemporaries had faded away.
His reply was "it is by God's grace and not because of anything I did right in myself."
This is how a religious mindset denies us the opportunity to learn.
Truth is, his longevity came as a result of certain wise choices he made.
What then he should have said was "Yes, I remain relevant till date because I made the right moves some of which I will share however it was God's grace that taught me these things without which I won't have known them and be still standing today"
By saying "it wasn't by any right thing I did but by God's grace" he made it appear it all happened because he was lucky implying others were not.
This puts his success in an inaccessible realm allowing for superstitious practices. God's grace teaches and gives us the right tools.
His success cannot now be trans-generational because he has "nothing" to teach others. If he had framed it right he would still have attributed it to God as the source of it all but then listed out things he was taught by Grace in the last 40years.

A drunk policeman shot me at a checkpoint in 2011.
The bullet tore through my car, through my right hand.
I lost my career as an animator. My marriage cracked. My mind still bleeds.
The twist?
I sued the Nigeria Police. Won in 2015.
Judge said: "Pay his medical bills."
10 years later. Zero naira.
I face permanent disability without help.

The crisis inside the APC has taken a dramatic turn as about 20 progressive governors have reportedly removed Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, as Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum.
The timing is the real story.
Moments after the submission of Tinubu’s presidential nomination form, the same ruling party that wants Nigerians to believe it is united suddenly entered emergency mode. Governors from Ogun, Bayelsa, Enugu, and 17 others reportedly met in Abuja and moved against Uzodinma.
This is not ordinary disagreement. This is a political earthquake inside APC’s own bedroom.
A party that cannot manage its governors wants to manage Nigeria for another four years.
A party preaching stability to Nigerians is busy replacing its own power brokers behind closed doors. A party asking for trust in 2027 cannot even trust itself after submitting a nomination form.
APC is no longer hiding its cracks. Consensus is causing tears. Endorsements are causing rebellion. Ambition is eating loyalty. Governors are removing governors.
The broom is no longer sweeping Nigeria. It is sweeping itself.
Tinubu may have submitted his form, but APC has submitted its crisis to the public.
2027 is loading, and the ruling party is already fighting its own shadow.
Air Peace, this is unacceptable.
Passengers (including elderly people) have been stranded since 6:30AM at London Gatwick Airport with no proper communication.
After hours of delay, we were told there was a bird strike and promised a hotel. Hours later, people are still sitting at baggage claim hungry, exhausted, and without their bags.
Elderly passengers are struggling. Families are tired. No clear updates. No support.
Release passengers’ luggage immediately and provide the hotel you promised. Do something NOW.

Today is a big win for the entire Nigerian church.
Thank you Pastor sir @RealJerryEze
Thanks for not bringing the body of christ to shame.
I imagine for a minute that you were found guilty of money laundering, it would have been another terrible attack on our image as a national church.
Your integrity shone through, your walk of holiness defended you among men, a lesson we must all learn.
Lastly, your generosity, your continuous generosity is another proof to naysayers that Pastors in Nigeria are not the reasons for our problems rather we are a major part of the solution.
More prosperity sir.
Genuinely, deeply happy for you . ❤️
I think BAT didn't only cripple the opposition because of opposition parties, he also crippled the opposition to make it unattractive for any one in APC that is not satisfied and wants to jump ship... There will be nowhere to go.
A New Voice. A New Direction.
The time has come for representation that is as active and dynamic as the people of Ughelli North Constituency 2. I am not just here to occupy a seat; I am here to listen, to serve, and to work tirelessly for our collective progress.
Let’s bring a fresh perspective to leadership. The journey to a better constituency starts now.
During Yaya Bello's second term election campaign, El Rufai knelt to ask the Kogi people to forgive Yaya Bello and vote for him one more time. Lapite took the same El Rufai to Chatham House in the UK to help him answer questions on security.
Lapite is dealing with El Rufai today and Yaya Bello is minding his business, looking forward to becoming a senator despite being a wanted fellow by the @officialEFCC.
@emmaikumeh@nwoke_anambra2 I read somewhere that Nassarawa state have about 40 mineral resources in global commercial quantity and only about 9 is being explored at the moment.
They tell you to vote for him because he will do better in 2nd term, but when you complain about basic things, they shift blame and tell you it’s not his responsibility.
What then is he going there to do in 2nd term since he has no responsibility????
@emmaikumeh This one the sitting Governor has endorsed Wadada in a video in circulation... Nassarawa gubernatorial election is going to be interesting...
Sùúrù Lẹ́rẹ̀" (Patience is Rewarding) is one of Lagbaja's most iconic and timeless tracks, dropped in 2000 on his classic album WE
Just one year after Nigeria's historic return to civilian rule on May 29, 1999 ending decades of military dictatorship, Lagbaja used this song to reflect on the nation's fragile journey toward democracy.
Over 25 years later, the message of this song still hits hard.
I urge security agencies to act immediately and ensure his safe rescue.
