“Wahala wa o!”

Bill Gates organized an enormous
session to recruit a new CEO for
Microsoft Europe. Five thousand candidates
assembled in
a large room. One candidate is
Ayodele a Naija guy. Bill Gates thanked all the
candidates for
coming and asking those who do
not know Java program to leave.
Two thousand candidates leave the
room. Ayodele says to himself, “I do
not know JaVa but I have nothing to lose if I
stay. I’ll give it a try. Bill Gates asked the
candidates who
never had experience of managing
more than 100 people to leave. Two
thousand leave the room. Ayodele says
to himself “I never managed anybody
by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay.
What can happen to me?” So
he stays. Then Bill Gates asked candidates
who
do not have management diplomas to
leave. Five hundred people leave the
room. Ayodele says to himself, “I left
school at 15 but what have I got to
lose?” So he stays in the room. Lastly, Bill gates
asked the candidates
who do not speak Serb-Croatian to
leave. Four hundred ninety-eight
candidates leave the room. Ayodele
says to himself, “I do not speak one
word of Serb – Croatian but what do I have to
lose?” So he stays and finds
himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone. Bill Gates joined them
and said,
“Apparently you are the only two
candidates who speak Serb – Croatian,
so I’d now like to hear you have a
conversation together in that
language.” Calmly, Ayodele turns to the other
candidate and says, “Wahala wa o!”
The other candidate answers “O gaju o

The Most complex problem

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant’s debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant’s garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up ...

The Trade of Wisdom.

The trade of wisdom is better than the trade of money or silver. Prov 3:14 KJV For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. NET For her benefit is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than gold. The Hebrew word used for merchandise, sachar, means an emporium, abstractly, profit (from trade). In BDB: traffic, gain, profit, gain from merchandise, a. traffic, gain from traffic. The root word is sachar, which means to travel round (specifically as a pedlar). BDB: to go around, go about, travel about in, go about in trade, a. (Qal): to go about to and fro (in business) trader, trafficker (participle) So not only is wisdom better than money, or the profit of wisdom better than the profit of money, or the acquisition of wisdom better than the acquisition of money, but also the trade, traffic or business of wisdom better that the trade, commerce or business of money. Now let us talk about trade. How do you trad...
