Report has it that two suspected
thieves who have been terrorizing residents of Ijagun area of Ogun State were
arrested on May 25.
According
to Oluwasanmi Adedamola, the suspects often go round to different female
hostels to steal laptops, phones, clothes and other valuables at gunpoint. They
were also said to have raped some of their victims, students during the
attacks.
It is a
common saying that every day for the thief, one day for the owner. The moment
you get yourself involved in all these nefarious activities, you’re finished. So
be careful the type of friends you keep. Some, when they are nabbed will more
often than not blame it on devil.
And of
course, you don’t blame it on employment. Why? Stealing is not the best option
of not getting a job. There are thousands of genuine things you can get
yourself engaged in.
Ultimately,
know the type of friends you keep. Do not succumb to peers pressure. Be contented
with what you have. Not all that clatters are gold. Good name is still better
than riches. I know most people will argue on this, but don’t either because it’s
a fact.
When your source
of income(s) is genuine, you don’t have anything to fear. Like I said, avoid
every forms of demonstration effects. Don’t do something because Mr A does it
even when you don’t have the resources or the purchasing power.
Be yourself
and you’ll live a clean life. Some of us failed to understand that some people
you see living flamboyantly are heavily indebted. They can do anything to
maintain high life style. Deep inside them, they are not finding it funny. Unfortunately,
because you don’t know what they are passing through right inside, you want to
be like them. NO!
Be
yourself. You’re so unique by nature. Check your nose if it looks likes that of
Mr A. It’s not! How about the face? Not at all! You see how unique God has
created us. It is because we always want to follow the crowd; and that is where
most of our challenges are.
You’re
unique! Don’t bring disgrace to yourself and your family.
