The greatest challenge of the human race is envy. I do understand that competition brings about efficiency, competition brings about innovation and competition is one of the characteristics of living things. But i have never heard that envy is one of the characteristics of living things. Envy brings about destruction, retrogression and many more bad things that can come to your mind.

It's not a crime to aspire for what others aspire for, but if you are not good enough, just cut your loses and look for the next big thing to achieve.

The sky is big enough to accommodate as many successful people as the wish to be, so Mr already successful, stop monopolising the sky and acting as a limit control and an embargo against others getting to the top, simply because you are afraid the wont respect you again.

Is respect a life elongating supplement that you go about expecting everybody to respect you. People only respect you only if you respect yourself and also respect them. You earn respect not demand respect.

This crab syndrome is really eating deep into the every aspect of Nigeria, politically, the politician are like if i don't win, i will ensure you don't have a nice time ruling by formulating problem just to disrupt the administration.

Leadership is not a family business, your aim is suppose to be the welfare of the masses before any other secondary objective.

Let's change our mentality and live together as one as love one another and live longer and make nigeria, Africa, the world at large a better place.
