A meaning to life

life sometimes can be very unpredictable and twisted. At times we put in our all in life and get nothing in return. So we decide to take matters into our own hands and end it. End our sufferings, our problems and so on.

The truth is whatever it is we are going through there is someone out there who has been through it and even worse. So what? You have read for an exam, wrote to the best of your knowledge and when the results were finally out you failed beyond compare, or you have prepared so hard for a job interview you have all the qualifications and when the time comes you weren't given the job, or is it the promotion you have worked hard for, that is so obvious you are the person for that position only for it to be given to someone else.

No matter what the experience might be, we do not have any right to end our lives. Instead of focusing on the dark side why not look at the bright side. Yes it is okay to be disappointed, sad, angry. But don't forget that others have suffered worse and are still alive.

While you are crying over that failed exam others are crying over a dead friend, couesemate. While you are feeling dejected over that job you did not get, others are mourning their colleaque. While yo are brooding over that promotion, others are burying their boss.

So you see you are not the only one who has had a bad day. So when people come to comfort you let them in. I personally do not encourage people to say "you don't know what i'm going through" or" put yourself in my shoes

The truth is whether you like it or not every one has had their fair share of bad times. True it did not come the same time as yours but we all get to experience that ugly aspect of life.

It is better to fail today, and be alive to succeed tomorrow. Than fail today, and die a failure. Also don't forget no matter how dark the sky is at night, the sun will surely rise in the morning.

Peter and Judas both betrayed Christ in their own ways, but the difference is that Peter unlike Judas choose to change. And he did that by living.

Always remember that when the going is rough.

You can only change what you are, and where you are now when you choose to live.

Please share to friends

Love,

Suspended EFCC boss Ibrahim Magu writes presidential investigation panel; speaks on the allegations leveled against him and makes demands

The suspended boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has complained about the “unfortunate” handling of his investigation for alleged corruption, saying he has consequently been “paraded like a common criminal”.

 

Magu on Monday, July 6, appeared before the presidential panel investigating allegations of corruption leveled against him by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.

 

Premiumtimes reports that Magu in a letter written by his lawyer, Wahab Shittu, and sent to the Presidential Investigative Committee on Friday, July 10, said he had not seen the petitions containing the allegations against him nor has the committee availed him with their terms of reference. The letter which was reportedly sent to the Committee on Friday, July 11, reads in part

“Mr Chairman, since the 6th of July when our client honoured your invitation, he has been consistently applying to the Committee to be given the petitions containing the allegations of CONSPIRACY, CORRUPT ENRICHMENT, ABUSE OF POWER/OFFICE, which request has not been honoured or obliged till date. Our client has also informed us that he remains unaware of the terms of reference of this distinguished Committee.”

 

The letter also related Magu’s discomfort with his continued detention at the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department FCID “without being informed of the allegations against him and the deserved opportunity to timeously study and respond to same.”

 

Magu in his letter complained that “witnesses are called and examined by the Committee behind his back and without allowing him and counsel of his choice to participate in the proceedings involving these witnesses.”

 

The suspended chairman of the antigraft agency said he had been a target of campaigns of calumny by the media taking advantage of his detention to spread damaging, false and prejudicial allegations. 

 

Among such “unfounded allegations which never featured in the proceedings of the Committee thus far,” the letter said, were that Mr. Magu gave Vice President Yemi Osinbajo four billion naira (an allegation Mr Osinbajo has denied); that he ran secret accounts; procured cronies to front for him; and that he acquired properties in Dubai.

“These campaigns of calumny have greatly affected the morale of our client and damaged his hard earned reputation and that of the Commission (EFCC)

It continued, “that our client as a result of this campaign of calumny has been paraded like a common criminal and subjected to all manners of insults and embarrassment just for serving his nation diligently and efficiently as the arrow-head of the anti-corruption campaign of this administration.

This unfortunate development is happening even before the determination of the petitions before this Honourable Committee with prejudicial consequences.” the letter read in part

 

Magu in his letter made seven requests from the committee, including its terms of reference; access to the petitions against him to “enable him study and prepare a robust defence”; intervention of the committee to facilitate his release from the FCID detention; and adequate time to respond to the allegations against him with necessary materials and evidence.

 

He also sought an opportunity to confront the petitioners with his own defense; and requested that witnesses be examined in his presence and his counsel. He then asked the committee to guarantee “his right to fair hearing including his right to liberty in the course of the proceedings of this distinguished Committee.”

 

The investigative committee is yet to comment on Magu's letter.
