“Apparently a lot of you are taking Loans to take your family for Summer Holidays…
…Seriously?!
… You are owing house rent… School fees…et al… and you are not getting a loan for business but for Summer… ….You all know that I love you sooooooooooooooo much and I am not too scared to tell you the truth… So listen up… … Sugar.. Lagos is 24/7 Summer… why borrow to leave the heat.. to go enjoy the heat… ..Instead of borrowing money to go for that family Holiday because everyone in your compound claims to be going abroad for Summer….. open a trustfund for your Child.. Tomorrow is not guaranteed…
…for some … the odds are lower than others…
…because the end is also part of the Journey… it’s ok to plan ahead without being all sanctimonious… …You are not too young to have your will drawn up… …your response to life insurance offer shouldn’t be blood of Jesus.. it should be …at what premium… … I have got to go now my Darlings…but remember that I said don’t go poor trying to look rich… ….to be rich is not a look……don’t let me go to Mushin to buy a cane to spank some sense into you…“
