A Life Worth Living…
Posted by: Biola Akinyemi : Category: Uncategorized
I have always loved the wise saying that quotes “A life worth living is that lived for others” and it has always been a guiding principle for my life.
Of the very many things that I could have done with my day today, I spent a good portion of it opening a blog for a very new friend. Equally teaching her how to manage it. Watch out world here comes a motivation writer and novelists with a lot in her archives over the years that will finally find expression in the blogging world.

I don’t think I could have spent my day any better. You dig?

My Mother – Adieu
Posted by: Biola Akinyemi : Category: Uncategorized
I am not able to put words together. I have tried but only few sentences come per time. For those who love to know my brother has said it all on his blog www.deoluakinyemi.com and below is how he puts it.
“The essence of life is to live it, not watch it” – Adeolu Akinyemi
The inspiration for this quote, is merely watching my mum, and listening out to the people whose lives she had touched. My mum was important to so many people, she was their “somebody” that made their lives better, their crosses easier to bear and rekindled their hope. My mum was a template for the virtous woman described in Prov 31, the more I read it, the more I remember her. I have not ceased to ask myself a fundamental question, “when would have been a good time for her to die?” The more I ask and think, the more I realize, that for us her children, for her brother, friend, business partner and lover – my dad, for her relations near and far and for the many lives she touched, there would never be a good time! There is never a good time to lose a loved one, even at 90, she’ll still have left us puzzled. I can remember my dad shedding tears at the burial of his 90yr old mother, there is never a good time. One thing is sure though, life should be measured by donation, not duration. What matters is not how long, it’s how well! Thinking like this, I have every course to celebrate my mum’s temporary seperation from me. I am confident that we’ll meet again at Jesus’ feet, I am confident that she has volountarily joined the company that constitute the cloud of witnesses. I am happy that my mum lived a life that if I can set as benchmark for mine, I’ll be driven till I’m done! I know that God is all wise, all his word is perfect and all his ways are just.
My mum had a glorious exit, and there are many things to learn from her life. I’ll attempt a few here, and if I’m so inspired, I’ll do a book in her honour. On the 21st of June, 2009, my mum dressed for her last church service. Very early in the morning of that day, she bade farewell to all of us her children. We had all come home from Lagos, for my younger sister’s wedding introduction the previous day. Even though the meeting was meant to have less than 60 people, my mum had killed one of her cows (yeah.. she has cows she’s rearing) and shared it for all her children and sibblings. We all saw mummy on Sunday, unaware of course that that was the last time we’ll see her alive and well. We hugged, waved and went. In a series of events, that led to her driving to church, and sitting, as ever and always beside her husband she decided to share her testimony. She raised a song as she stood up, and stood at the pulpit (Gbese ope me po, mi o le san tan, sugbon o sibe sibe, hun o se iwon ti mo le se, baba a laanu mi, e ma se o baba – My debt of thanksgiven is more than I can pay, but never the less, I will do the best I can, my father the merciful, thank you). Everyone sang along, and she started to share her testimony. She shared on, until she got to a point and announced to the church, I am feeling dizzy, at which point she slumped in the ready hands of my dad and her pastor. That was when the chariot that took her to heaven came, that was the last time she stood on her feet for the next 11 days that ended with her being taken. The doctors called it a hemorrhagic stroke, and showed that it was really up to God or nature. Between those days, she spoke for some and was unconcious for others. Her life flashed before our eyes and I’m sure hers as well. Her 56yrs have been more life than 200 regular years. Many hope to die in the lord, my mum was a child of God at her death, and even took her departure from his house -the assembly of his people.
There are loads of things I have learnt from my mum, and there is a lot more that I am learning. Learn with me.
1. Do all the good you can, to all the people you can.
My mum was a nurse by profession, but beyond the practice of nursing where her salary was paid, my mum was like a local messiah to her community. All my growing up days, it was never a rare occurence for my mum to be called out at 1am to come and help someone – from delivering a baby, to rushing someone to the hospital, to someone’s child having a seizure e.t.c. In her last years, she took it beyond medicine into education, and even into financial empowerment. She’ll do all she can to ensure people in her community get education, she was the bridge between the young and the old. Her pastor told me that it was as if she planted the church, she was matron to the youths and a sister to the adults. I recollect my mum following up regularly with me to ensure that I gave a scholarship to some students she believed were deserving. I remember her organizing for some community people with an admission overseas to come see me to help them. I remember my mum singlehandedly travelling to attend a FGC alumni meeting in Ogun State, just because she felt she would meet some old students who would be sympathetic to the dwindling plight of their schools. My mums friends and enthusiasts consist of people from extreme segments of the class, age and religious divides. My mum didn’t care if you were illiterate, young or muslim – her care was unconditional. ” She introduced me into the cooperative”, “she helped me with this need and that”, “it’s because of her that I am alive today”, “I lived with her family for many years, while I had no options”, “She sacrificed hers for mine”. These are some of the things I hear people say. Someone prayed for us the children, that may all the good my mum did to people without hoping for anything back, may that good pave our way and be returned back to us in full measure. Trust me, that prayer is thick.
2. Be Industrious
If you have never read Proverbs 31, go and read it. If you have and you thought it was idealistic, you are wrong! My mum was virtuous and industrious. One thing that attempts to pain me is the fact that we would have been able to spoil her more and do a lot more for her if she stayed, but I know that where she is, is without comparism. My mum was a business woman per excellence. I believe I inherited her charisma and her never giving up attitude. What did my mum not do? As at the time of her death, from the last discussion I had with her, she was worried a bit about her farmland (acres of farmland) – this year she had planted lots of yam, and she was worried about the rain. She had a few cows with the cooperative ranch. I’ve seen her support my Dad’s batik business as the Sales Director, and Admin Manager. I’ve watched my mum do egg sales business and from Ilorin supply Lagos and Ibadan. I have seen her buy bags of maize to transport to store and sell in Sokoto. Fish farming, Cassava, Maize, Beans, e.t.c. My mum operated a pharmacy for years and had to stop because she was having to close by midnight everyday and didn’t want her family to lose out by the businesses success. My mums salary was not fantastic, yet she invested in shares, invested in Land… I recall her last call to me asking for my advice before making an investment. My mum was my dad’s right hand woman. My dad is a bundle of patience and temperance, my mum provides the passion and the drive. I’ve seen her do businesses and fail, I’ve seen her do the ones that succeed, with my mum, failure was no excuse. Life was meant to be lived, and she turboed it!
3. Don’t let your age limit you.
Many of us carry our age and status to much to our hearts. Not my mum, also not my dad. My mum had good friends among my friends. And to show she liked them, she came all the way to Lagos to attend their weddings. Imagine the scene, my friend is wedding, and I’m there with my wife and my mum – She was that into the next generation. Even this year she has done the same. My mum is on facebook, she has a computer with internet access, she learnt forex trading last year. My mum read my website from time to time. My mum bought a copy of success digest last year, and decided to pay for training and learnt how to cultivate fish. My mum was never limited by age. She was a friend of young and old, and she wasn’t a friend in words, she was in deed. At age 56 she could have passed for 42. I have never felt uncomfortable talking about anything in my mum’s presence, she was one of us when she was 40 and one of us when she was 50 and 56.
4. Have a fighting peaceful spirit.
Most people become perpetual losers in life, not because they lack what it takes, but because they gave in just a little too early. People regularly settle for less than they are capable of, they stop fighting and resign to fate. My mother was a fighter! She was a fighter from as long as I have known her. She didn’t believe in letting things settle as the first course of action. Her first course was to go there and speak up for what she believed was right. If my mum relays a story that happened 35yrs ago, you will feel the emotions. She started taking responsibility at barely 20yrs old when her dad died, and left her as the first born of some sort. She learnt to stand up for herself, her sibblings and her family. It didnt’ matter who you were, as far my mum was concerned if there was fire on your head, it can be brought down and put out. As quickly as she was prone to fight however, she was also quick to make up. I remember one classical example of a time when I was really young. It wasn’t ever a rare sight to see my mum and dad arguing about one point or the other. On one such instance, they were actually outside and the arguement was quite hot and the voices high. The neighbours heard, and thought it would be a great opportunity to settle their argument and possibly introduce them to christ. It took the neighbours about 3-5mins to gather themselves and come to our house, by the time they got in, my mum and my dad were laughing hilariously over a game of scrabble. Fight for what you want, but be rational and peaceful. Interestingly when my mum came back to conciousness after slumping, she told my dad, “I have to go back there and finish my testimony, I have to also warn/instruct people, if it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody!” She fought it for a while to stay, but when she became aware that it was God’s time, she peacefully resolved. Her pastor said God told him specifically, “leave her for me”, around the exact time she died, God instructed me to ask… This is what I want, but nevertheless thy will be done, and I did.
5. Shine your Light
I have lots of great memories of my mum. On her account I have gone to speak to the students and staff of FGC Ilorin twice. I’m almost becoming a regular feature at their founders day. She’s been a mother close by and impactful to me, and indeed to all of us. My mum is not someone to blend in a crowd, she is a light that shines wherever she is placed. She’ll call me to let me know she is praying for me, and all of us. In her church, she’s that nice woman that hugs everybody, to her pastor, this is the only woman in church that I hug, we are like family. My mum held her light high and shared it. I’ve been watching people come over to my parents house to cry, some to weep, and yet others to recount one incidence or the other. She wasn’t hid under a bushel, she wasn’t buried under the moronic excuse of I have a job and I am busy. She lived life to the fiullest, touched souls without number, tolerated many from different backgounds, partnered well with her husband and left for me a legacy of a life lived with zest. I remember in the church I grew up where men sat on one side, and women on the other… not my folks. Their family was a unit, and they were not going to bend to any practice that separated men to their friends and women to theirs. My mum was different, and she let it show.
There is a lot I’m hearing and learning, I hope to still compile more of the perspectives to share with all that are interested. Someone said if God asked for volounteers to die instead of my mum, there would have been volounteers. She’s gone however, because it’s God’s time. My mum is gone ahead to be with God, I intend to make that transition to life eternal, to the realm of Gods kingship. I hope you do too. I intend to live my dreams and pursue my purpose because of such a great inspiration my mum and my dad have been to me! Maybe I’ll write my own- Dreams of My Mother 
Sincerely, my thought will have to come later on. I find that I am not composed yet.

THE STORY OF THE BARBER
I have a barber that does very good cuts and he’s been cutting my hair for over three years now. Every time he gives me a cut and I meet a friend they seem to like the cut on me and want to try him out. The good news is, he does home service and they can just give him a call. He had this small shop back then and he was alone in his business. My friends who gave him a call enjoyed his services and have equally invited referred him to their own friends as well. I realized that even my business associates who dared to ask me where I cut my hair patronize him every time they are in town together with their own colleges and associates. Today, I can’t say he has a bigger shop, because what he has could be called a big office not a shop. He has diversified and made the office accommodate both sex, he has a chain of staff all of whom call him Sir, he drives a good car and lives in a house of his own. After many years even I have not achieved so much. Know this, that without being under any obligation to tell my friends about him, I did and today he is better for it. Equally note that, I did not mention him to all my friends not even most of my friends. I would have done so and even tell more people if I was being given some commission for doing so and I’m sure a lot of us are like me
THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE
A sales representative or the marketing executive as we all know, in the world today is paid a basic salary in some cases and commission on sales. These commissions as I discovered however are only based on direct sales. This means that if the marketing executive makes a sale to Mr A he gets commissions on sales made to Mr A. However if Mr A tell anybody about the product, say Mr B and Mr B buys directly from the company. The commission on such sales is not credited to Mr A and neither is it credited to the marketing executive except there is a network marketing arrangement.
THE NETWORK MARKETER
Multi-level marketing (MLM), also known as Network Marketing, is a marketing strategy that compensates promoters of direct selling companies not only for product sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of others they introduced to the company. The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.[1]. Read more…

Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly – Part 1
Posted by: Biola Akinyemi : Category: Uncategorized
Some days ago I sent this out as a mail to friends. I titled the mail “the meaning of poor – Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly. The mail reads
Hello Friend,
I am sending this mail to a few trusted friends, and a few friend of trusted friends. The people that I think would be offended if eventually the news I’m about to share comes into public domain and you find out that I not only knew about it, but was principal in its execution.
I’m sure that you all know, that even though I have been cautious about MLM, there is no denying my belief that it is the way of business of the future and a credible means for wealth transfer. In fact, from the insights I’m getting, It would make a lot of sense if I ensure that I simplify everything I do into a networking model.
There are a number of things happening around the world, countries are getting bankrupt, solid companies declaring losses, and pillars of hope expressing despair. The world is in crisis mode, the models for wealth are being redefined. Capitalism 2.0 is proping up as famine hits below economic belts. These are however interesting times, in fact, the best times to be alive!
While many are already getting half salaries, while some are losing their jobs, and while some are yet to find, many unknown of and unheard of will prosper this year. There are three network marketing opportunities I am driving together this year, and I have been earning from the three, but this is just the beginning!
I’m not looking for a crowd, just a handful of people who are committed and have people management skills. We will work together as a team, setting ourselves deliverables like professionals and creating wealth for ourselves and value for others. I’ll love if the pioneer members in this group can be involved in all three, but then it’s up to each of us.
I’ll share one of such opportunities with you right away. If I read from you, it means you are interested, if I don’t, it means you are not. It’s simple. All we’ll need to do together are simple things, and those simple things will make us all win – I have been part of mlms that failed before, and I have learnt what and how not to do.
Before I share the opportunity with you, I’ll like you to do a simple exercise. If I give you 1naira today, and ask you to double it today, and double what you have everyday, how much will you have on the 30th day? Many people have given guesses for this between 200 and 20million, but the real answer is over 1billion. In case you are suprised, you can go ahead and calculate it. What this means simply, that if all we do is set ourselves a target of all marketing the product to 2 people every month, then in 30 months, we can have a network that is in billions. This model is what malaysia has used, and they have become successful.
I don’t like marketing? You don’t need to market, I and some members of the team will do the marketing just invite them to where we can market for you. What will happen to the last set of people? We’ve got them covered, they will get value and market some more without even knowing. Can I drop my money and go to bed? Yes, but I’ll prefer you just dash me the money as there would be no difference. This is not a get rich quick scheme, and it’s not for lazy people. Who should I invite to meet with you? The people you love and want to help, the people you care about. Will there ever be any ill feelings and a desire to get refunds? No, we’ll tell everybody the truth and show them real opportunities. Will this get stuck? This one and the others are not board NMs, they are binary and many in this category have done decades.
Opportunity One is a international company, that is currently registering locally in Nigeria. The cost of their privilege pack and 1yr membership is about N40,000 and it already has over 4000 Nigerian customers, people are already earning a few hundreds of thousands weekly and it’s offering the first 10,000 committed customers equity in the company worth +$240 free on purchase of their privilege pack. The company is investing in Nigeria and plans to do physical business in Nigeria. In fact I am the one facilitating their investment in Nigeria. What I have just shared with you is not public yet, as soon as it is, all the 4000 current customers have to do to mop it all up, is invite 3 of their friends each. I am rushing ahead of all that, to let you know before it goes public.
To this end we will be having a meeting on the 28th of February 2009 at Generis Solutions, 3rd Floor Oluwatobi house, 71, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos. Time: 1pm – 2.30pm. If you will attend this meeting please, alert me ahead, latest Thursday so that I can book a sit for you. Seats are limiteg
This mail is longer than I planned already, I’ll like you to download skype and add me.. biolaakinyemi or if you do me a mail ahead, we can plan to chat on yahoo messenger biocomp003. I’m recruiting the Generals this next week, together we’ll define our modus operandi, and we’ll take Africa by force – as Nigeria is currently sponsoring Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania e.t.c.
Are you interested?… hit the reply button – We’ll give numbers based on first come first serve basis. Are you not?.. simply delete this mail and let it go! We have all failed before, but we know it’s not what happens to us, but what we do, that determines our story!
–
Kind Regards
Akinyemi Abiola A
Please be aware of the opportunity that is talked about here visit www.holidaysandcash.com/rejoice1 and join now.
Of the many replies that I got I found one particularly intersting and that one I will share tomorrow…..

Gone too soon (Grace Oluwaferanmi Ajibade), Dec 1983 – Feb 2009
Posted by: Biola Akinyemi : Category: Uncategorized
“Fele fele sha laiye, Ile aiye yi fele o” (life is thin, fragile)
Iku o dojo, aarun o d’oshu (death does not book an appointment, i’llness does not make a date)
Born on the 21st of December, 1983, I met this young lady for the first time in my life in church (headstone church, ilupeju lagos) in 2006 and we’ve been friends ever since. She is the kind of person you will call sweet. Ever happy, ever cheerful, life was not very kind to her. She could not afford to complete her education she move to lagos from Oyo where her parents her based and made pastor and pastor mrs her new parents. she went in and out of relationships and was goin to get married this year. She suffered from ulcer so she needed to eat often but she hardly had the time. she put her whole heart to what she does. she was a dedicated choir member, she work as a land sales agent and had walked through all the banks in Ikeja area marketing land shortly before her death. I spoke to her everyday and saw her mostly on sundays until 18/02 when i received the message that she was dead. she was hit by a bus whose break was said to have failed while she was trying to climb an okada. It sounded like a joke. Today she was burried. Alas Grace is gone.
If death would take money, I’m prepared to pay any amount to have her back. But no, death will not take money.
If death will hold on a little while, I will love to say my farewell properly, and give her a message to God.
I know Grace very well. If she is watching, she would not want me to cry, but i cant help it.
We have this one to thank death for…she died in the lord.
Her death is a lesson. Her life here is a lesson. she left too soon but she left…
I guess if we listen hard enuff we can get the message.
Mummy is getting over it, Daddy is still not together at all. She was first born. Her fiancee was in her apartment cooking for her when she died. He was the one who broke the news to him. He is now only try to be a man.
Grace (oluwaferanmi) sun re o (rest in peace)….. (tear drops)

Nemesis
Posted by: Biola Akinyemi : Category: Uncategorized
“You cannot foresee the results of even the most trivial act.”
I was reading my Bible today when suddenly I realized that what I’m reading is in a way applicable to this our country (Nigeria) and a lot of other countries too.
Check this out. The Psalmist talking about God is saying
Psa 10:16 The LORD is king forever and ever. The nations have vanished from his land.
Psa 10:17 You have heard the desire of oppressed people, O LORD. You encourage them. You pay close attention to them
Psa 10:18 in order to provide justice for orphans and oppressed people so that no mere mortal will terrify them again.
Today some collegues went out and on thier way back they boarded a bus and in the bus a lady who was supposed to pay N20 as her fare ignorantly paid N30 upon realizing this mistake demanded for N10 which she rightfully deserved and was denied by the fare collector (conductor). All effort by other passengers to persuade this conductor proved abortive, He called the lady all sorts of names and eventually pushed her out of the bus. As the journey continued the following calamities befell him.
1. He ran out of fuel and had to jog a long distance with a keg to get a little to get him moving again. He was delayed for about 20 – 30mins.
2. His door fell and his windshield broke
3. He was involved in a motor accident that left his car badly damaged
I don’t know who that lady was but that was simply outstanding.
No mere mortal can terrify some of us anymore, we have become sui generis i.e. we are in a class of our own. Unique, different, we stand out.
When God Fights for us unbelievers will experience what they will love to call NEMESIS
