THE former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, was the Convocation Lecturer at the just concluded KolaDaisi University 6th Convocation ceremony.
While his profile was being read, something caught my attention. The former president was in prison for some years. He became Nigeria ‘s president the second time, not long after he was released from prison.
Isn’t it amazing how a prisoner became the president in a twinkle of an eye?
What if he had killed himself before his release? What if he had committed suicide before his deliverance and eventual elevation?
You know what? Whatever situation you are right now, whatever challenge you’re going through, it is just a phase. it is not worth taking your life for.
Did you fail your exams?
Do you have some carry over courses?
Did you lose a business deal?
Whatever phase of challenge you’re going through, remember the man that came out of prison and became the president.
Let his story encourage you to persevere.
Let it encourage you to hold on.
Let nothing push you to commiting suicide.
Nothing is worth taking your life over.
