GIFT OF MEN!

My Uncle's car and bags were ransacked, his phone, money and other valuables were stolen and he was left for death instead of rushing him to the hospital.

That was how we lost my mother's younger brother who was involved in an accident.

Former CBN Governor, now Emir, couldn't hold back his tears as he recounted at the memorial service, how Herbert Wigwe came through for him at his lowest point, that he was almost exiled; covered him and his family, gave them a place and took over their welfare.

I write today about something simple, yet so profound: THE GIFT OF MEN!

This is one of the greatest gift anyone can have here.

This gift has saved many from untimely death, from prison terms, from shame, from losing it all.

It's also not just about having people around you, I'm talking about having true friends around you in your moments of weakness who can stand and fight with and for you, who won't allow you make rash or hasty decisions, those whose words of advice won't stop ringing on your mind.

Everybody has and still will experience low moments. If Jnr Pope had it, he would've been rushed to the hospital emergency section instead of a herbalist shrine and his life might have been saved.

Genuine friends who'd cover your nakedness with a coat of many colors.

Genuine friends who'd always watch your back.

Genuine friends who won't let you suffer or do life alone.

May the good Lord bless us with this genuine gift of men.
