According to Wikipedia This is the garage of the
Second Nigerian Senate President Prince Nweke Nwafor from 1960 to 1966.
I vividly Recall th
e story of a man who
became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's
edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldn't buy that car for 50k
today.
Some other guy brutally murdered his brother ( whom their father
gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose of re- stocking their warehouse), just
cos he wanted to acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep.
That
same vehicle is now better described as a coffin. I Remember as a kid,
my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite
dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers
5 times the value and is in almost every student's room.
What about the
Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505Evolution, Toyota Crown,
all overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6,
Acura and Infinity...
Vanity! Some ladies left their true loves cos some
rich guy then persuaded them with a Benz 190, which turned out to be
the only car they ever owned till date. They found out too late that
true love is invaluable. A friend declared drinks because he launched
the Nokia Communicator for over hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone
would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and
everyday phones. What about the MTN SIM card that many people went
extra miles before they bought for over 30k, today you will not buy it
at N100 because all networks are begging people to even take it for
free. People are still making the most horrific sacrifices over 'vanity'
and make enemies over worthless material things. What can I say? Look
back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what
becomes of it tomorrow. There is absolutely nothing you can't achieve.
All you need is a little time and PATIENCE and you would thank God
without regrets. There is actuallynothing in this world that is worth
dieing for, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Meditate on this…
