"THE WALL HAVE EARS"

When I was little I had a lot of stories been told to me, the ones my mom, grandma, uncles and aunties told me, including the ones I heard from an outsiders and also those that I read. It have really been a great time hearing such interesting and lesson full stories. And so today, I do love to take us on a title of my story named "The Wall Has Ears". I was told to me by my grandma and here is how it goes,;

The Wall Have Ears

Grandma will always call me "Fify baby" come sit down let me tell you stories that will benefit and guide you in life. And as I sat down, she started telling me what she had for me.

She said, whatsoever in life you want to achieve never let the next ear to hear it because the world is evil. That it is good to guide your star with your hands than showing it off for jealousy and destruction. She added that a lot of people have great destinies but because they allowed they go about announcing their progress and plans, they fall back to Zero Level.

She admonishes me to keep away from pet friend who will always want to know what your every single step count. What are pet friends? This was her description (A pet friend is he or she who finds joy in destroying ones activated plans. He/she always want to be around you to use your information against to you).

Grandma added a true life story to her sayings, it was a story of a young lady named "Nnenna"who had dreams of becoming a scientist.

Whenever she dream and wakes up, she will tell her mother, and she will so happy that her daughter will soon actualize her dreams. Unwisely enough, the mother told her friends and described how the lord has revealed his plan for her daughter.

A day came when Nnenna when to the Jamb Center to wirte her exams. Unknowingly to her, one if her mummy's friend traced her, bribe one of the script maker to swipe Nnenna's score for her own daughter's. Nnenna was so intelligent and focused, as soon as the exam scores came out later that day, she had a very low score which couldn't even take her to any school or even her course of study.

The whole family felt bittered, prayed for her and she repeated the same exam the upper year, the mom repeated the same thing. The other woman that bribe the invigilator also told one of her friends to do the same. She did, scores came out and Nnenna's score was low again. This time the mother persuaded Nnenna to write again and this time, she didn't tell her friends but kept it to herself.

There are so many lessons to learn from this story and below I will outline just five of them and I believe you have more to the lessons too. You can contribute also, thanks!.

• Learn to keep beneficiary secrets, those of them you know are vital to life.
• Don't ever jeopardize with the future of the young ones.
• Jealousy is everywhere in the world, avoid gossips that will tarnish your image.
• If at all you should have friends. Keep the reasonable ones.
• Let God be the wall you will lap yourself unto.
