From My old man: I get lots of advice, can't remember most of them though
1. Initiative is never taught, develop on it
2. Overconfidence hurts as much as inconfidence.
From mom: I don't get any undecided

My dad is kind'a like that. Anytime he takes us to school (boarding), I'm talking from primary school, he would say, this is your inheritance that I'm giving you, if you become useful (wulo), you would be useful to yourself.
He would tell me and my siblings, that he's working for himself, so that when he grows older, or if he's ever in need of money, he would convert his assets to cash.
We all grew up not looking up to our parents riches, and they (my parents) are very wealthy.
MORAL OF THE TALKS: It made us all very hardworking and focused, though we were very very comfortable, and got all we ever asked for.

mindworx: Me and my dad, we are not close. The first day i entered University, he took me there. Immediately i came down out of the car, he called me and said:
'Femi, In the school, you will find the library, and in the same school, you will see clubs. You are the architect of your life. I have paid you my dues. All the best.'
Consciously or not, that is what fueled me through.

My mum once called my brother and I after SSCE, and read Deut 28 line by line to the last verse, and then advised us, and we prayed. It was a sobering experience.

"Ti Baba mi ba ranmi ni ile iwe ni, emi naa ko ni wa ni ibi ti mo wa loni yii, koju mo eko ohun ti ko to si ma seku" meaning " assuming my own dad did send me to school, I wouldn't be where I am today- I would be on higher pedestal. Things will soon be all right" This is the word that always come out of my dad mouth and whenever he finishes the whole story one would have turn a good boy without any advice.

I've got a friend, we were in Secondary School when he lost his mom, being the only son she really did a lot to make him happy. He told me then that one phrase his mom used after shouting his name to call his attention especially when he is "busy" with his video games was "shey I'm calling you now and you're there playing your video game, okay o. Carry on." and those were the first set of words that got to him, when she passed on. He regretted not giving her enough of his time and attention, back then he told me "Alex, if my mom was alive now and called my name once I will answer and run to her a thousand times."

He asked me to pay attention to mine. I'm asking you to pay attention to yours.

Thank you for this story. May we not lose that which we value and may we value that which we have.

Mum unlike Dad proffered a lot of counsels as I journey through life. But dad's rare advice stick to my mind - If you refuse to work hard (face your studies severely) now, you will work really hard later in life. And mum's usual words to me is "Deolu se jeje oo, Ranti omo eni ti iwo nse ooo".

Dad ; what ever you sow you will reap so be mindful of what you sow.
Mum; the love of men is in their eyes and not. their heart. Keep ur body undefiled till marriage, you will never regret it.
Mum; men give with their left hand and collect with their right hand,be very careful.
Uncle; in any relationship,try and define it.
Uncle; where ever you go,drop ur identity and don't be shy about it,those that love you will come to u.
