'What goes around comes around'

One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. Sh e told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She co uldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A f ew miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a cl ean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'

There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around' Today I publish this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine.

I just wish its REAL!

Would they finally let Uwazurike go?

I have been following the cases that the Federal Government of Nigeria had against people like: Dokubo-Asari, Gani Adams and Uwazurike. If you do not know these men mentioned or atleast any of them, then you should question your origin (lol). These men are few of those that do not fear intimidation and were able to speak out no matter the circumstance.

The trio of these men are from Niger-Delta, Yoruba and Igbo tribes respectively, and they were the mouthpiece of thier people, and somtime in 2005 they were all arrested and incarcerated for a crime that Nelson Mandela was jailed for as well. The crime is called "Treason" and they all have been in jail somehwhere in the North (keffi prison), being taking to court in and out and being denied bail, but earlier this year, Gani Adams the leader of OPC (Odua Peoples Congress0 was granted bail and was allowed to go home to his family, and about two months back Dokubo-Asari was also allowed to go home, if you have forgotten, Asari is the leader of Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force (NDPVF). But interestingly the third man being held for same offence as the others, the leader of Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazurike is still being held in Keffi Prisons after letting others home and being to court in and out over 30 times in two years plus.

This case is very very interesting, because I have read every article related to this case and I never found the reason why he is being held and he has never posed any danger to the nation nor did any violent things that may warrant all that is being done to this man, while the two others released and let home had wasted bloods of Nigerians in thier course for whatever they wanted to achieve individually. You may not understand this, but if i start to write further on this case, it will turn out to be the biased Obinwanne writting and no more the normal Obi that you know, so I willl rather give a break here and have you do the addition and subtraction involved in this case, but i want to know if he is being held because he is of Igbo Origin? Don't get me wrong because from all angles my question is right, very right infact because the others aren't of same tribe with him, so maybe that was what trigered my question.

Being in detention isn't an easy task, and this man Uwazurike has been there for so long, and within this period, he lost his Mother, we all know how we love mothers, and in Igbo Culture, the burial rights has to be performed by the son, and Uwazurike happens to be the only surviving son of the woman who died without setting eyes on her son for the past few years, the Justice presiding over the case, Justice Binta Nyako then said yesterday that she was willing to release Uwazurike on bail to attend his mother's burial, but with conditions that: "he brings evidence to show that under Igbo culture, it was mandatory for him to attend the burial."

People, we are still Africans right, and I cant remember of anywhere on this planet where you have to bring an evidence to attend a love one's funeral (let alone your mother). God forbid!

I didnt want to write anything yet on this issue until later later, but what amazes me the most is the issue of attending a burial ceremony of ones mother with a mandatory reason!

It is late now, so I will dtop here and catch some sleep.

2 Nigerian Students Found Dead in Malaysia

I havent been here for a while now, not because I was out of Internet or anything, but I was just hoping for a better thing to write as my last post was the loosing pattern of game my club (chelaea fc) was playing, and that i regarded as bad news and i was always hoping for something good to come up, and im grateful to those who sympathized with me on my club issue.

I didnt really want to write anything now, I was just randomly reading some blogs, articles and news online and I came across this very unfortunate news on Thisday website, and you can read about it HERE

I dont know of our youths to be using drugs, even if I am wrong, but atleast havent come across any, and here goes the news from Thisday:

Two Nigerian students were yesterday found dead in their apartment unit in Taman Connaught, Cheras, Malaysia. Reports said the deceased were believed to have overdosed on drugs.The victims were discovered by their housemate in a room in their apartment unit at 10am yesterday. The deceased, Olugboja Emmanuel Olawale, 22, was found lying on the bed while Abbas Alhaji, 24, was sprawled under it.

The housemate claimed he returned home last Tuesday, went straight to bed and found Olugboja and Abbas when he went to wake them up yesterday morning.Police investigations showed that the victims did have any injury marks and neither were they robbed. The deceased did not sustain any injury or strangulated marks neither were there indications of robbery. Reports said that police are investigating if the students were involved in drugs.

But the police believe the deceased could have taken a large number of pills believed to be psychotropic pills. Both victims, business information system students at University College Sedaya International (UCSI), came to Malyasia three years ago. Cheras CID Chief Deputy Supt V. Samugam said police are waiting for the post mortem results to determine the cause of the deaths.

Both bodies were taken to the Hospital University Kebangsaan Malaysia for a post mortem. Consulate Officer of the Nigerian High Commission, Ibrahim Hamidun, who was at the scene, advised the media not to speculate on the deaths. “It has already been bad for us. We, Africans, have been wrongly accused for the recent Kepong murders and two of our people have been arrested without any solid proof,” he said.

IT IS VERY VERY SAD......
