*THE BEAUTY OF CLASSMATES*

https://infinitycleaningy.medium.com/the-beauty-of-classmates-f0d7f3d3e580

Many years ago I was working as a clerk at a faculty in one popular university in Nigeria, then I saw an advert for NDA (Nigeria Defence Academy), I have always loved to go to NDA so I applied, submitted my form and was called for admission examination.

I had to travel to Kaduna all the way from Osun State, I have a distant uncle that was resident there then. I wrote a letter (no telephone at the time) to my uncle that I was coming to sit for an exam in Kaduna and would love to stay in their house.

I didn't get a reply to my letter even as my departure date was approaching. I became so worried because I needed to go anyway, as I was talking to a colleague in the office concerning my fear of where to stay, our office cleaner who was a Hausa man overheard us and in his broken English interjected that he knew someone right inside NDA.

Who could he know there? *Is it not a cleaner like himself*, I unintentionally said it out to his hearing. "Oga no o, the commandant op za NDA na ma classmate and ma priend". In his bad handwriting, he scribbled the commandant's name on a piece of paper. "Just mention my name's por am, him go helf you."

I reluctantly collected the paper from him, not because I intended to make use of it but because I didn't want him to feel bad.

The next day, I set out on this long journey by train from Osogbo. I got to Kaduna a day later towards evening. Upon getting there, I went straight to my uncle's house only to find out that they had relocated from that place and no one knew their new address. I became stranded and it was getting late.

Around after 7pm, I made up my mind to give my cleaner's contact a shot. I got to the gate of NDA and mentioned the name I was given. To my utmost surprise, everyone in that bit, recognized the name and one person was promptly detailed to take me to his office.

I gave the paper where Kabiru wrote his name and that of his friend to the secretary who took it inside. On sighting the paper, the commandant shouted from the office and followed the secretary outside to usher me in. "Where do you know Kabiru?" "He's my colleague in the office, Sir," I answered.
"Where is he? How is he? Hope he's doing well?" This man was asking me many questions in an obvious excitement.

The look on his face confirmed to me that Kabiru was his beloved friend. He asked me what I came to do in Kaduna and I said it was for the NDA exams. "Wow, do you have where to sleep?" "No, sir." He immediately called someone to take me to his house. On getting to the house, I was lavishly entertained.

This man came late in the night and he woke me up and took me up on tutorials for the next day's exams. After the exams, he personally drove me to the park the next day.

When I got back to the campus, I began to look at Kabiru with a different eyes. How on earth does this man know such a powerful person? Needless to say, my name was number four on the list when the results came out.

Friends, I put it to you today that relationship is a currency. Every man needs another man to move up and that man may be the neighbour you look down on, maybe the taxi driver you so despise or even the house help you think is a nobody today.

Relationship is a stream of income. Everything in life actually reproduces on the basis of relationship. Those we know in life matter. *Most of us are talented but we need a cupbearer that will tell Pharaoh that there's a Joseph that can interpret dreams.* we need our old school mates irrespective of their status today.
Hook up with your class mates in the primary, secondary and tertiary schools alumni.

There are some heights you may never get to in life until someone tells someone about you even in church or mosque. Therefore, shut the door on relationships gently. You may need to use it tomorrow.

Let us take our relationships seriously. Even if you meet online, don't look down on anyone. You never can tell which of the relationships will be your own key to success.

1. Classmates Are Family.
- Avoid Things That Divide Family.

2. In Class You Would Always Be ABUBAKAR, EMEKA and ADEWALE etc Despite the PhD, SAN, Hon, Chief, General, Prof, Mr, Dr, Rev, Ustaz etc.

3. Check On, Reach Out To Classmates Who May Be Less Successful.

4. Achievements Are Processes Not Destination; Everyone Has His Time.

5. Class Groups Are Not Places For Intimidation But Co-operation.

6. Classmates Are Not Political Or Cabal Groups

7. Be Humble and Sincere With your Classmates, They Knew You When You were Nobody.

8. A United Class Is a Successful Class, No Matter Who Succeeds First.

*THE MANGO, COCONUT AND BITTER LEAF*
Listen my Son, your antagonists will increase at every second of your progress. My entrepreneur father said some few years ago.

One day he said, walk with me, I have something to show you.

He went to the *mango tree* at the backyard, and requested I pluck a fruit from the tree. Actually the ripe one.

I looked carefully and replied; dad, I can't see any ripe one here. He stared at me for few seconds, this time, my heartbeat increased.

He had actually warned me to be prudent like King Solomon anytime I come close to him because the race is not for the ignorant anymore.

I adjusted my breath for another few seconds, I said again; dad, I can't find any ripe MANGO. Beautiful, he said, with a confident tone. Then he continued......

Nobody will know you when you are not ripped. Nobody will attack you when your glory isn't showing. At this stage, you are like the unripe fruit. Ignored and overlooked because your fruit is not nutritional.

*Here is your first lesson Son, don't fight to be seen or noticed, rather work to get your fruit to be ripe.*

It's the nature of man to ignore people who are not productive.

*To be noticed, work more on your seed.*

Come with me, this time, he took me to the coconut tree. Look around here and pluck two fruits for me. I looked critically at *the coconut tree,* it was tall and uneasy to get, so I carefully took a big stick and hit it from afar and it fell loudly to the ground. Then I gave the two fruits to him. Then he said,

*Here is it Son, the more productive you become, the more enemies you attract just like the coconut tree.*

It's the nature of man to come for you because you are ripe. They attack you just like you attack the coconut tree.

*Don't be moved, it is your right to fulfill destiny no matter the attack on you.*

Keep growing. You are growing for two purposes.

*One, as a shade for those that are helpless to hide and two, as a fruit for those that are hungry to eat from*.

Understand this, your *COURSE* is beyond the attacker. Grow your lens of reasoning if you will last long as a fruitful tree.

You see that coconut tree, no matter how many you pluck, it won't dry up because of you. It will keep producing more coconut. It is because it produces more that makes it relevant in my compound. If not, I would have uprooted it a long time ago.

Just because your partner betrays your love doesn't stop you from loving someone else.

You are productive, and you need to show your commitment as a tree that is fruitful, not as a tree that dries up, because of one person that plucks from it.

Just because someone defrauds you, is not enough reason not to trust.

*Trust is part of what makes your tree productive. Keep trusting till it gets you to your breakthrough.*

Just because some people don't like what you do is not enough reason not to like yourself.

*Be your first admirer. Treat yourself with so much love and respect*.

Nature will command people to take the course of likeness on you.

See Son, look at that *bitter leaf* at the other side of the compound, go and taste it. I moved a bit and I said, dad, I don't really like it. He smiled and said,

*This shows that, not everyone will like what you are, but you must never allow that to determine how you grow.*

That bitter leaf is never scared of growing no matter the hatred you have towards it because it knows, one day, you will come looking for it and it will be your only saviour at that time.

You will give it all the attention you thought you couldn't give.

Don't stop growing Son.

*When your enemies increase for no reason, pay attention, your success is taking another dimension they can't handle, the effect is dimensional*.

The bitter leaf will attract enemies because of the kind of projection and growth it takes but sooner, it will be the ultimate search for many.

*You can be the ultimate search for someone tomorrow,* so *learn to improve your skills of growth today*.

*You are not growing to compete with the next person.*

Coconut trees don't compete with the apple tree, their seasons of growth and cycle are different.

Learn to apply this in your journey in life.

Your competition is not with someone else. It is God who brought you on this journey and he knows when your fruit will ripe, so don't envy others when their fruit ripens.

*Seasons of growth is what matters. Move and grow at your own pace*.

May the good Lord strengthen us all Amen.

Good morning and do have a wonderful Thursday.
