ARGUING AGAINST SUCCESS - AFCON 2013

The Question is: can anybody argue against success?

The Super Eagles won the match and the atmosphere all over the world changed especially in Nigeria.

I witnessed a man, who called 4 different people congratulating them: I wondered to myself ‘what’s wrong with this man? Does he know the family of some of the Super Eagles Team?’ but apparently, the man was simply excited.

All of a sudden, millions of people were happy to be called Nigerians; the Victory brought smiles to our faces, even though we don’t have a share in the trophy personally and the team that played the game does not know most of us. We were simply HAPPY.

Why were we happy?

“A goal in either half from Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday Mba booked Nigeria a spot in the semifinals of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-1 victory, sending Ivory Coast crashing out”

 

I saw genuine smiles and I decided to think back to the previous match (Nigeria and Zambia), we didn’t hear the last of it. From bbm dps (blackberry messenger display pictures) to bbm updates to facebook posts, the Super Eagles were called all sorts of names. 

Some graphic artist designed pictures depicting the disappointment derived from the match, in no less than 5minutes funny and ridiculous pictures started flying, you would wonder if these people were expecting the result we got before the match was played.

A pessimist said: ‘did Nigeria actually win the match? There must be a foul play’ instantly I ignored this person: at that moment it was all about the success of the Super Eagles Nigeria *winks*

There’s a lesson from this match: it dawned on me that ‘the stone that the builders rejected is now a corner stone’ Acts 4:11

No matter who you are, once you’re successful you become a big star: everybody would like to associate themselves with you, those who have counted you worthless will suddenly think you’re someone of a great worth.

SUCCESS has loads of friends!

Has anybody ever told you that you will never make it? Be successful and you will see them coming back telling you how much they believed in you, how much they have been praying for you and how much faith they have always had in you.

Have you been told you're ugly? Not up to a particular standard? *I laugh* you just be successful and you will see how beautiful you really are, how people will make you feel beautiful with their words and hypes and how people will make you their real standard, thereby becoming a brand.

There’s nothing wrong in associating with successful people but it would be nice for us all not to look down on anyone

The best revenge you can give anybody is to be a SUCCESS in life
