xxI came to a conclusion that one of the essence of life here on earth is to win, both in monetary and intrinsic terms as well as to be good at whatever our hands finds to do. The ancient wise king posted in the same Ecclesiastes 10:19 that “A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything.” Without this answer for everything which is winning, the king also posted in his book Proverbs 14:20 that “The poor man is hated even by his neighbor.” He went on in Proverbs 19:14 that “Wealth attracts many friends but even the closest friend of the poor deserts him.” His father David who was also King had posted in his book of Psalm 69:9 when he was yet to win that “I have become estranged from my brothers. And an alien to my mother’s sons.”I believe now is the time to defy odds and those who try to reduce the weight of our success to score goals in this soccer match of life like Kelechi Iheanacho, to work hard like Yinka Odumakin. To lift “patikyula” like Number 1 Golozo the Tiv traditional singer who bought a motorcycle when it was not easy to do so, only to give it to a brother and thereafter, buy another one but his people were still doubting him till he brought out his particulars. Above all, to soar higher and keep winning like Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
