Everyday b4 u go 2 bed, fix ur uniform & hang it up on d wall opposite ur bed.
When u get into bed look at dat uniform and ask yourself.... What happens if I don't wear dis uniform?
The answer is far from being saluted! u will be stopped at the gate and questioned!
And if another person wears this uniform and walks past the quarter guard he will get a salute.
So the salute was not for you it was for the uniform hanging on dat wall which made u what u are but remember it's not going to be urs forever! It will go away one day...
So, prepare yourself for it
Every day when u finish work make every one leave ur office.
Get up from ur chair, walk across to the other side, sit down and look at your chair.
There were so many orders u passed today thinking they were very important...
But tomorrow someone else will sit on that same chair and may reverse all ur orders rubbishing them!
The orders u passed thinking u were an important person was actually the chair which was passing them. And that chair is only temporary! It's not going to be urs forever! It just gave u some temporary powers which will be gone the moment u leave the chair.
Use the powers given to u judiciously.
Use it to write ur name in GOLD.
Use it to wipe away tears from the faces of the less privileged in our society.
Use it for nation building and not with arrogance to prove ur superiority!
May I ask u?
What are u using ur uniform or chair for today?
Are u using them to bring people down and show them where power lies?
Are u using them to help friends and cronies even when it is not their time and just because they salute u every morning?
Are u using them to divide and rule and create enemity?
What are you using them for?
Remember the person today u are using ur uniform or chair to destroy may be the one dat will tomorrow supervise ur child, nephew, niece, grandson, granddaughter, stepchild, ur sister or brother.
How will u feel if same is repeated on all these people?
Think, my brothers and sisters, think. For you do not know tomorrow.
Use your uniform or chair to promote the betterment of all.
Be a father, mother, sister, brother, a friend to all.
Be an honest judge.
Hear all sides of every story.
Fear your creator, oh God help me to be the person you created me to be.

One day, the housewife called the gateman "Dan Fulani" and gave him money and a piece of paper containing the name and amount of goods that she want him to go to the market and bought.
The goods are as follows;
1 bag of rice - N 10000
1 cartoon of spaghetti - N4000
1 bag of semovita - N4000
1 cartoon of cornflakes - N900
Total = 18,900
So, the "Dan Fulani" went to supermarket and bought all the things that his boss asked him to bought, but the "Dan fulani" didn't arrived home early until when it's 5:00p.m.
After he was arrived, then his boss blasted over him and asked him why he is late?. The Dan fulani answered with saying that "Sorry, madam I have bought all the things that you directed me to bought, but only this " Total" wasted my time unless when I reached Total petroleum filling station, finally here is it", pointing at 13 bottles of Total oil.
