I vividly recall the story of a man who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. You can buy that car for 50,000 Naira today.....Vanity.
A guy brutally murdered his brother, just because he wanted to acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now better described as a coffin.... Vanity.
I remember as a kid, my whole street gathered at a neighbour's house to watch a "drama" shown on a "double-door black & white television". Today, there is plasma television and its almost found in every student's room..... Vanity.
Some ladies left their true loves because some rich guy then persuaded them with a Mercedes 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..... Vanity.
What about Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505 Evolution, Toyota Crown?... All overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity.... Vanity!
A guy declared drinks because he launched the Nokia-3310 phone he bought in 2002. Today, that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phones..... Vanity.
What about the MTN, Celtel or Globacom SIM cards that many people went extra miles before they bought for over 15,000 Naira. Today, you will not buy it for even more than 200 Naira because all d networks are begging people to even take it for free.... Vanity.
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. ... Take it easy!
Most of the people who were in lucrative job before are those ones that are roaming about the street now looking for any job to do.
All you need is a little time and PATIENCE and you would thank God without regrets. There is actually nothing in this world that is worth going to Hell or die for, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Only ALLAH wins. Always give HIM your confidence. HE will surely see you through any challenge if you TRUST HIM
