Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #94.

"IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS AND YOUR HEALTH."
"The immigration problem is now a significant cause of high blood pressure, hypertension, mental health issues, depression, and marital breakdowns. 

Friends, it is not a matter of life and death. What will be will be. 

You will need good health to enjoy your immigration status when you eventually get it. Look after your health today. 

Las, las, you will be okay. 

I reported at the police station three times a week for eight years; I was detained for five weeks, I was taken to Gatwick Airport to be deported, I lost appeals in court several times, I used eight different lawyers and spent thousands of pounds despite my wife and children being British Citizens. 

I made up my mind to fight and win. I was always in church doing praise and worship. I was always laughing and joking. I even released two gospel albums in 1999 and 2000. It shall not be well with the devil. 

Today, different nationalities want me to help them settle in the United Kingdom. 

Your situation is not as bad as mine, so don’t give up. Fight, fight, and relax. 

This is my story. My three children saw my pain, my trials, my challenges and my sorrow. Without forcing them, they also became lawyers to fight for Justice. 

I hope this lifts you!"-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"There are two big scams in the world. The first scam is the belief that painkillers actually kill pain. No, they don’t. They just manage pain. The second is the belief that a salary can cure poverty. No, it doesn’t. It just manages poverty. Stop being scammed. When a rat is eating your toes, it blows air on it so you don't feel pain till it is too late. Your job is the rat. Your salary is the air. Your sack is the time when it is too late. Salary can't make you rich. Save your toes. Kill the rat by starting your own business."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #93

268
"Common Tautologies That Project Less Class"

"First, what is a tautology? It is to use two or more words with the same meanings, which in polite society indicates a deficiency in education and class. 

Many people who use clichéd tautologies think they sound intellectual. But to the discerning, they appear common. 

There is nothing like a future plan. That is bad English, but too many people, including well-educated ones, use it. Every plan is focused on the future. It is impossible to plan the past. You can only learn from it. Therefore, to say you have a future plan is a tautology. And to talk about your plans for the future makes you seem less knowledgeable than you may actually be. 

Similarly, there is no such thing as a regular routine. A routine is by its very nature, something you do regularly. You can say daily routine or just routine. That is grammatical and commonsensical. When you qualify routine with words like daily, weekly, etc, you are describing the regularity of the rhythm, which is acceptable. 

Also, the use of exact same is repetitive and incongruent to English grammar. Exact and same have identical meanings. They should be used interchangeably, not consecutively. 

Saying my personal favourite is another common usage that is unnecessary. My favourite will suffice. You cannot have a favourite that is not personal to you, except you are referring to another person's choice. 

Another combination of words that can confuse is saying things like, I gave them two two each. You could say I gave it to them in twos, or I gave them two each. Either of these conveys a better meaning for what you are trying to say. 

And it is unnecessary to use the term write down or write it down. The use of down is not needed. Please can you write your number will suffice and is more accurate than please can you write your number down or could you please write down your number? Think about it for a second. Do people write their numbers, or anything for that matter, up? 

Also, when you use the term close proximity to describe distance, you are needlessly repeating two words that convey the same meaning. You could say my house is close. Or you may want to indicate that my house is within proximity. But it is an overkill to say my house is within close proximity.

Also, religious persons like to say heaven above. The thing is that heaven is always above. Therefore, the above is unnecessary.

Additionally, when correcting people, especially alarmists, you do not need to say that they over-exaggerate. Exaggerate is sufficient. The term over exaggerate is itself an exaggeration. You are, in effect, guilty of what you accuse the person you are scolding of doing.

And when you say first and foremost, you sound verbose. Either of the two would suffice. For example, you can say first, I was not there. You could also say it is foremost to note that I was not there. But to say first and foremost is to add to what is already sufficient. And the more intelligent you are, the more meaning you convey with fewer words.

Another common tautology is unite together. To unite is to come together. Therefore, it is only necessary to say let us unite. However, if that is too plain for you, you may want to say let us come together. 

I do hope these examples have helped you understand some ways by which we can communicate better. My motivation for this is Yeshua (Jesus). While on Earth, He spoke in common diction. He used everyday words. It was easy to understand him because he avoided highfalutin language. 

True intelligence, in my opinion, is communicated using the simplest form of speech. Because the purpose of speaking is to communicate, not to impress."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #92.

266.
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT DELAYS."
"Many of you who follow me on social media admire my life, but my life was riddled with delays. 

Today, I will tell you a story that will change your life. Many people have become sickly or died prematurely because they were worried about delays in certain areas of life. They died worrying about the future. They worried about delays in their career, business, marriage, or ministry. 

Getting to the position that I am today shows that even though you may suffer from delays in your life, it does not mean you will be a failure. 

Before I started primary school, I was made to wait for a year so that I could start with my half-sister. 

When I completed primary school, I could not go to secondary school immediately because I lacked money to pay my fees. I had to work as a houseboy for an Indian couple in Ondo Town, Nigeria, for a year before starting secondary school. 

After completing my secondary school education, I had to wait another year before starting my A Level. 

When I finished A Level, I had to wait 11 years to attend the university because there was no helper. I started university in the UK after having two children, and I paid for it privately. 

Here we are today. The man who struggled with his school fees due to poverty sent his children to private schools and paid for his children’s university education without student loans or bursaries. 

So, don’t worry about delay. Don’t kill yourself. Don’t give up. Keep working hard and believing in God for a story like mine. Only compete against yourself. 

If I had given up, you wouldn’t be reading my story today. Delay is nothing if you don’t give up on your dreams. Share to encourage someone."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.

Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Others diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.

After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.

The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.

At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, "Don't you think you have left something behind?"

The son replied, "No sir, I haven't".

The old man retorted, "Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father".

The restaurant went silent.

To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors. Share if you agree."-Anonymous author.

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #91.

263.
"Success is not having a big house, a nice car, or material things. Success is hearing Jesus say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."-Anonymous author.

264.
"A lady sent me a message some days ago.

She was telling me how that it seems God is partial

That she sees me and it seems that everything is going well for me and that things that God is doing in my life

But that things have been so bad for her

I said “Sister sit down and let me tell you a story

————————————————————————

In 2022, it was one week to my engagement and it ended

Yes you read that right.

The person that I was supposed to marry said he was not doing again

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My mum had bought chicken 

My dad was in the process of repainting our living room because we were expecting in-laws 

And just like that, it wasn’t like we had quarrel or anything.

I looked up to heaven with the most pain I’ve ever felt in my life

I cried to sleep and I cried waking up.

The embarrassment on my family
The disappointment 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can’t even begin to unpack that onwe of my life

But then I went to my Father in heaven like the daughter of Zelophehad and I can never forget 

Because where else can we go?

In whom else is there help????

I asked him “Lord what’s my inheritance in you “??

I thought you led me here????

I can never forget the words I heard that day

“He said Deborah, do you trust me”???

I said yes Lord

He said “Hold my hand and keep coming”

The Holyspirit started healing my heart

And In a few months, my husband showed up and the rest they say is history.

—————————————————————————-

🤍 I’m sharing this story to let you know that everyone goes through tough times

Sometimes people don’t share their tough moments but mostly you don’t hear their struggles 

So don’t feel like it’s just you

God does not promise us a life free of troubles
But he promised to be there every step of the way

🤍You may not have all the answers to all the questions but you can’t let go of God

In your confusion, in your pain, just keep holding on

It won’t be easy in the moment but I promise you, God will come through at the end

🤍Stay with God

Just stay there

It will make sense when the dust settles

I hope this encourages your heart 

God bless!"-Deborah Ocheido's post on X-platform (2024).

"If you have a chance to make someone happy, just do it. Sometimes people are struggling silently. Maybe your acts of kindness can make their day."-Anonymous author.

260.
"How you end your life is more important than how you started it. That is why a fool at 40 still has time to be wise. Moses left Egypt at 40 without anything. Yet, he returned and overtook all those he left in Egypt. There is no deadline to make a headline. 

After much failure, Colonel Sanders succeeded with KFC in his 60s. Your time is your time, irrespective of how old you are! When did Prince Charles become King? At 73! Meanwhile, you believe you are a failure because you have not made it at 41? You still have time!

Don’t compare in life. Instead, prepare for life. Life is not how fast. It is how far. Completing your life is by far better than competing in life. Focus on your vision and get provision for your mission, which is the solution for retrogression."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

261.
"SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU……."
"1. Pray a lot. In the morning, in the noontime, in the night time. Young ones, don’t joke with prayers.
2. Fast regularly. There is an unusual inspiration when you fast. 
3. Study the Bible regularly; there is a word that can change your life there. 
4. Attend church regularly. A preacher’s word can transform your life. Irregular church attendance as a Christian leads to irregular growth. It will affect you. 
5. Be a generous giver. Tithe regularly, and don’t listen to the naysayers. I have tried it for over 40 years, and here we are by God’s grace. 
6. Forgive easily. Bitterness and unforgiveness is an instrument of limitation. When you don’t forgive, you are hurting yourself 
7. Build good relationships not based on hypocrisy or what you can get. Relationships can make your life better. 
8. Study to grow. Study to be wise. I was once in a hotel room for 6 hours alone with the late Dr. Myles Munroe. After our discussion, I told Dr. Myles, wow, you convinced me because it is difficult to convince a lawyer. Are you a lawyer? He responded, “I am not a lawyer, but I read a bit of everything.” Many people who argue unthinkingly in real life and on social media don’t read. 
9. Marry well. Don’t marry out of pity. Don’t marry to slight those who jilted you. Don’t marry because of family pressure. Don’t marry because of beauty alone, but also marry because of good character. 
10. Build your wealth and stop begging. Could you stop it? Begging erodes dignity. My mother taught me that, and it shaped my life."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).
