Bed time Story

Title: The Girl and the Clay Pot.

Once upon a time in a quiet village lived a young girl named Ada. She was gentle, curious, and always dreaming of doing something great. One evening, her grandmother gave her a simple clay pot and said, “This pot will teach you something that no book can.”

Confused but excited, Ada asked, “What do I do with it, Grandma?”

“Each morning, fill it with water from the stream. Then wait. That’s all,” Grandma smiled.

So Ada did just that. Every morning before sunrise, she walked to the stream, filled the pot, and placed it gently in the same sunny spot near her window. Days passed. Then weeks. Nothing happened.

Her friends laughed. “Why do you keep doing the same thing every day? There’s nothing in that pot!”

But Ada remembered her grandmother’s words and kept going. Every day, water. Every day, wait.

Then one morning, just as the first light hit her window, something shimmered inside the pot. At the bottom lay a small, smooth crystal — glowing faintly.

She ran to her grandmother. “It worked! But how?”

Her grandmother smiled. “The crystal is a symbol, Ada. It’s not magic. It’s a reminder that patience and consistency bring quiet rewards. Most people give up too soon. But not you.”

From that day, Ada carried the lesson everywhere. She became a teacher, a mentor, and a guide — reminding everyone she met that small steps every day create big change.

And every night before sleep, she’d whisper to herself: “Just keep watering your pot.”

Moral: True growth happens quietly. Be patient. Be consistent. Your crystal is coming.

BREAKING NEWS: "He’s shown his quality on the big stage! Arteta and the board must move quickly to offer him a 7-year deal before top clubs try to snap him up," says Arsène Wenger, urging Arteta to seal the deal quickly if he's serious about winning titles next season — and no, it's not Thomas Partey.

Tosin Eniolorunda, the founder of Moniepoint, is a wealthy young man.

He will be 40 this year and should be unarguably one of the richest, brightest young minds of my generation.

According to unofficial estimates, his stake at Moniepoint is worth over $100 million.

But he was not always this wealthy; running and founding Monie Point changed his life.

Prior to 2017, before Moniepoint was founded, Tosin was just a tech entrepreneur who ran a software consulting company, and he was living at 1004 Estate in Lagos at that time.

What Tosin’s consulting company does is simple: provide a software solution that Nigerian banks use for their day-to-day operations.

But they were doing more than that.

They also build bank apps.

Sterling Bank and Unity Bank apps were built by Tosin and his team at Team Apt, the name of the software company.

Until one day, Tosin got an email from Sterling Bank that the bank is pulling out and does no longer require the services of Team Apt.

Tosin’s mind went blank; he was driving on Ikoyi Road when the message came in.

Sterling Bank was an important, valuable customer, and losing them was a fatal blow for his business cash flow and a monumental setback for his young, budding tech business.

How he was able to get to his destination after digesting that mail was a miracle.

From that setback, his team went back to the trenches to strategize and plan on how to stay afloat.

From that setback, that was how the Dream Monie point was born.

For Monie Point to become a reality and not suffer a stillbirth, one man so much believed in Tosin and in his dream to revolutionize the fintech industry, one customer at a time.

His name is Olu Oyinsa, and he runs Oui Capital, an early-stage African venture capital firm that invests in fintechs and early-stage tech companies.

He met Tosin and was like, Yo! This guy is different, and because of that conviction, he invested $150,000 in Moniepoint for a 1.2% stake in Moniepoint, and his investment was done in 2019.

His understanding of the banking technology stack and payment infrastructure was impressive. I knew he was up to something exciting,” Oyinsan recalled.

Without that conviction and strong belief in Tosin and Moniepoint by Olu Oyinsan, Moniepoint could have died.

Fast forward to 5 years later, after the $150,000 investment into Monie Point was made.

Monie Point has grown, has scaled, and is now a unicorn (a company worth $1 billion and above).

That $150,000 invested into Moniepont in 2019 is now worth more than $10 millon.

Last month, Olu and his team partially took out $8 million from their investment .

A very successful exit success story and rare in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem

When armed intruders stormed an orphanage one night, most people would have run. But 24-year-old Anthony Omari made a different choice one that would leave a lifelong scar and a legacy of courage.

With nothing but a hammer in hand, Anthony stood between three machete-wielding attackers and 37 sleeping orphans at Faraja Children's Home in Kenya. His only goal? To give the children time to lock themselves safely away.

He paid a heavy price. A brutal slash from a machete tore across his face, requiring 11 stitches from forehead to lip. Yet even as blood poured down his face, Anthony didn't back down. He secured the children, only collapsing once they were safe.

What happened next proved the power of global unity. His story went viral on Reddit, and within days, over 3,600 people from 46 countries had raised $80,000.

That money transformed the orphanage:
An 8-foot security fence was built
Night guards and guard dogs were hired

A message was sent: The world is watching, and it cares

Today, Anthony is an engineer and a father. He still returns to visit the children he once protected with his life. The scar on his face isn’t just a reminder of violence it’s a symbol of selfless bravery.

I refuse to believe that the person who did this to another human being can teach people about God, democracy and human rights.
A history written in blood cannot be erased by lies written in ink

If you come from a poor home, here are five things you can do that might change your story.

A life changing thread.

1. Start looking for a skill to learn. You don't need to go to school to learn a skill, just find someone who has a skill you can learn and serve him/ her.

Money is gotten through value, if you don't have anything to offer, you will never get money.

Nobody is going to give you money for doing nothing.. learn a skill.. anyone you can.

2. Start building your mentality financially.

Learn how money works, they don't teach this in any school, You need to understand that currency is called money, how it works and who it responds to.

Use your phone and ask questions about money and various search engines and learn seriously.

3. Study rich people.

You need to start paying close attention to rich people, study their behavior and attitude about money, learn their routine and know their mentality about money, close or far, you can always have a way to visit their affairs and learn their ways, buy books, buy videos, listen to podcast, etc.

4. Don't face failures or rejection, Dare it every time, most rich people are people who once tried and failed but they kept on trying until they succeeded.

It's the mindset. Don't be scared, make mistakes, and lose it.. if you don't try, you will cry, if you don't try, how will you know if youu can succeeded.

Get those balls.

Without a hard mind, you can't succeed in life.

5. Start making sacrifices.

You must not live like others, be the last to sleep and the first to wake, stop chasing pleasure, commit yourself to the way of discipline, and pick up a habit that is consistent in making you successful.. this is the way of men brotherly.

Be wise

WHERE THE WORLD THOUGHT WE WOULD GET LOST WAS WHERE WE ARRIVED THE GLOBAL STAGE
- Bishop David Oyedepo

At the second Sunday Service at Faith Tabernacle, Bishop Oyedepo while speaking about the advent of the ministry to Canaanland, Ota, said "Doing whatever God says no matter how nonsensical is how this Church got here. Church Gist. "This is the place." Yes Sir. "Shut down that place" Yes Sir and where the world thought we will get lost is where we came to the global stage. Obedience is gateway to high favour"

Bishop Oyedepo has said severally that moving the ministry headquarters to Canaanland was against all the Church Growth principles he knew, "You can't build a Church in the forest for people in the town" but God said "This is the place" and the rest is history to the glory of God.

In 1998, Nigerian con artist Emmanuel Nwude pulled off one of the boldest scams in history — he sold a non-existent airport to a Brazilian bank for a jaw-dropping $242 million.

No runways. No planes. No airport.
Just smooth talk, forged documents, and next-level confidence.
By the time they realized it was all fake, the money was gone.

Let that sink in:
He sold an imaginary airport.
For $242 million.
To a bank.

One of the wildest cons ever pulled.

Make sure you write a story down

A man who forgets his past in history is condemned to the future.
