      Friend of this Blog and award winning journalist Funmi Iyanda tells this interesting story of her trip to the Shomolu area of Lagos today, where she went to visit her cook Sisi Bose... It's quite interesting please read;

"Sisi Bose cooks for me, has done for eight years. She's a fantastic cook. She just had a baby, her second in 9 years. I went to visit her this morning in her home in shomolu. I know shomolu well, I lived there between ages 5 and 10. It was always a poor enclave surrounded by more middle class Gbagada, Akoka, and Morroco. It was poor when l was little but it was liveable and had neighbouring good schools and hospitals,

the inner roads poor but outer links good. What l saw today has depressed me immeasurably. The inner roads are barely motor-able, outer ones narrowed by erosion and wanton construction. The houses are sinking, damp, lacking toilets and unsanitary. It's no way for anyone to live but the houses are bursting at the seams with people. Overcrowded, impoverished and unsanitary. The people are live wire angry, snarling at little provocation everyone hurrying to and from church. However the decay and squalor did not stay in shomolu, one after the other the middle class satellites have all bowed down to the dejectification of life and reduction of human dignity. They are all in varying degrees, urban slums. On the way back l stopped at my polling unit for my voters card. Once again my name is missing. I had moved my flight back and gone there three days in a row. Have l been systematically disenfranchised?"

.... Success is not really about the amount of money you have.Strippers in Lagos state earn as much as 150,000 naira weekly exposing their naked bodies in clubs.Also, some politicians steal public funds,and leave their people to suffer.The list of ungodly means of making money are endless.

Can we say people who make lots of money by ungodly means are successful?The likes of Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote can never be poor simply because they have a solution to some of human problems.Bill Gate helps solve the problem of information technology.Dangote helps solve the problem of getting some basic needs like salt,cement,flour,steel,oil and gas and real estate.I think success is fulfilling your destiny on earth,and achieving your vision.A lot of rich people today are not successful.What is your own definition of success??? ....
