Balogun aka Wizkid shared a photo of himself

Boko Haram Latest Attacks In Yobe , Plateau & Kaduna States Kill 82

The past 48 hours has been bloody in the
Northern party of Nigeria.
No fewer than 82 people were killed in three
attacks on Monday and yesterday in Plateau,
Kaduna and Yobe states.
Twenty people, including a policeman, were killed
by bandits in Yobe State; 32 were killed by
gunmen in Plateau and 30 in Kaduna.
On Monday night, gunmen killed 18 traders in a
market in Yobe State.
A lecturer with the College of Agriculture, Gujba,
who was returning from Ashaka, Gombe State,
was shot dead by fleeing gunmen at Buni Gari.
Commissioner of Police Sanusi Rufai said the 18
traders were killed by armed bandits in two
villages in Gulani Local Government Area.
The Yobe police chief said: “The traders were
ambushed by the bandits while travelling back
from Ngalda local market, a border town with
Gombe State.
“The bandits attacked and killed 18 traders, 10
from Kukuwa and eight from Dokshi village. They
took away their money, which ran into millions of
naira.”
The bandits, Rufai said, were masked and
dressed in military uniform.
Rufai explained that the attackers also ran into a
quarry plant and attacked policemen attached to
the plant, killing one policeman.
He said no arrest had been made.
He added: “Joint Task Force (JTF) and police are
now combing the bush and security agents across
the state are on the red alert.”
The commissioner expressed regret that “bandits
are now parading themselves as Boko Haram to
wreak havoc on innocent people and inject fears
in them.”
The Yobe State Council of Chiefs condemned the
attack.
In a communique issued at the end of its seventh
Council meeting held in Damaturu, the monarchs
praised security agents for restoring peace in the
state, but regretted the Monday night attack.
The Emir of Fika, Mohammad Abali IBN Idrissa
Mohamadu, urged the people to cooperate with
security agencies in the fight against terror.
No fewer than 30 people were reportedly killed
and three villages completely razed by gunmen
suspected to be Fulani militia in Zangan, Zandyen
and Azing villages in Kaura Local Government
Area of Kaduna State.
But the police have refused to comment on the
killings. Commissioner of Police Olufemi Adenaike
told reporters to wait till today.
The police boss said: “Please, wait till tomorrow.
I will address a news conference tomorrow to give
you details; otherwise, you will be writing a half
story. The information is coming in bits.”
A resident of the area, Bulus Gwaza, told
reporters on the telephone that the gunmen came
in a large number and shot indiscriminately.
He said: “Right now, we have buried over 30
bodies and we are still looking for more in the
three villages. Not a single house is standing now
as I am speaking to you. They killed one
Policeman and one soldier. In fact the soldiers
ran because of the guns the attackers had and
their large number. No one is in these villages,
except some of us looking for bodies to bury.
Please, tell government to come to our aid.”
Details of the attack were sketchy yesterday. It
was gathered that the villages attacked are
located on the boundary between Kaduna and
Plateau. The slain soldier was reportedly attached
to the Joint Task Force in Plateau.
The Centre for Development and Rights Advocacy
(CEDRA) urged the Federal Government to declare
a state of emergency in Kaduna state as the only
means of securing Southern Kaduna from such
attacks.
In a statement, its Director, John Danfulani, said:
“It is clear that Governor Yero of Kaduna State
and his security team are deficit of the knowledge
of effective administration and physical security
management.
The attack in Plateau State was on two
communities in villages bordering Plateau and
Kaduna states. No fewer than 32 people died.
The victims include two soldiers serving with the
Special Task Force on Jos crisis, code named,
“Operation Safe Haven”.
The two villages are Rajak and Atakar, parts of
which fall under Riyom local government of
Plateau State. The other part falls under Kaura
Local Government of Kaduna State.
The attack came less than 24 hours after a
security meeting organised by the Plateau State
Police to find a lasting peace in the state.
It also came less than a month after a similar
attack in Shonong village in Riyom local
government, which left about 40 people dead.
The gunmen, who invaded the two communities
at about 3am, were said to be in hundreds. They
were armed with sophisticated weapons.
A survivor, Joel Mana, said: “The gunmen started
shooting sporadically and setting homes on fire.
They shot any one who ran out of their houses to
escape. They have burnt more than 60 homes.”
He went on: “19 people were killed in Rajat village
while 11 people were killed in Atakar village by
the gunmen.”
Confirming the attack, the member representing
Riyom Constituency in the Plateau State House of
Assembly, Hon. Daniel Dem, said: “The police
confirmed to me that 32 members of my
constituency were killed by the gunmen. Initially,
we thought the casualty was 28, but it is actually
32 people. Among those killed were two soldiers
of the Special Task Force (STF).”
Dem described the incident as sad and inhuman.
“How can gunmen kill over 70 members of my
constituency within less than a month? This is a
slap on the security agencies”, he said.
The lawmaker said the victims had been given
mass burial in both villages and most of the
survivors had fled to parts of Kaduna State,
especially those whose houses were razed by the
attackers.
He urged the Federal Government to deploy more
troops in the area and begin aerial surveillance to
stop further attacks in the communities.
Plateau State Police confirmed the attack but
could not confirm the casualty figure.
The Special Task Force (STF) on Jos crisis, code-
named Operation Safe Haven, said to have lost
two men, also did not speak on the attack.

“Asari Dokubo Must Be Arrested Over 2015 War Threat ” – APC Tells SSS

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has
described as reckless, irresponsible and totally
condemnable the threat by Mujahedeen Asari-
Dokubo to levy war against Nigeria if President
Goodluck Jonathan is defeated even in a free and
fair election in 2015.
In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party said despite the attacks by
oil militants in the Niger Delta and the ongoing
insurgency by Boko Haram in some parts of the
North, Nigeria had not witnessed a clearer and
louder call to war than Asari-Dokubo’s senseless
vituperation since the country’s civil war ended in
1970.
It said Nigerians were waiting to see what the
SSS, which recently detained for many hours the
APC’s Deputy National Secretary, Nasir El-Rufai
over his warning against election rigging in 2015,
would do now that an ally of President Jonathan
had threatened the very existence of Nigeria, by
saying he and his fellow militants would cripple
the economy of the country not only in the creeks
but also in Nigeria’s territorial waters.
‘’What on earth gave Asari-Dokubo the confidence
to issue threats against a whole nation? If he
does not care about elections and democracy,
how else could his hero, President Jonathan, have
come to power? Does he know the meaning of
anarchy? Does he think anyone, no matter how
big, is more important than his country or bigger
than its constitution?
‘’When he said President Jonathan ‘must
complete the mandatory constitutionally-
allowable two terms of eight years’ or the
militants will make Nigeria ungovernable, was he
aware that even the North that has become his
favourite whipping boy did not complete its own
eight years before his kinsman became president?
‘’It is not Asari-Dokubo’s fault. When we warned
against the handing over of the nation’s maritime
security to a company owned by a former militant
in 2012, many thought we were crying wolf where
none existed. But the threat by a former militant
to ensure that no vessel will be allowed to enter
the nation’s territorial waters unless President
Jonathan is re-elected has shown the dangers
inherent in such actions,’’ APC said.
It said Asari-Dokubo has overstretched his luck
by trying to dictate to political parties to field
only South-South candidates for the presidency in
2015, wondering what gave him the audacity to
make such a careless statement.
‘’We in the APC will never be cowed by the
senseless, emotional outburst of a man whose
sense of decency stretches the size of a coin. We
make bold to say that Nigeria will survive and
thrive, whether or not some people want it. We
reiterate the truism that election is the bedrock of
democracy, and that anointing of candidates – as
Asari-Dokubo would want Nigeria’s political
parties to do – is the very antithesis of
democracy,’’ the party said.
It said the SSS must act immediately or be
damned.’ “There is no better test of the fairness,
non-partisanship and professionalism of the SSS
than this Asari-Dokubo’s threat to levy war on
his own country. “
If Asari-Dokubo is not above the laws of the land,
he must be hauled before the SSS, just like the
service did to our deputy national secretary, to
explain his statement,’’ APC said.

Prince Noel Tochukwu Is Dead : Imo Got Talent Founder Killed In Owerri Hotel Room 24 Hours After Meeting Okorocha

Imo Got Talent Founder Killed 24 Hours After
Meeting With Governor Okorocha
Yesterday was indeed a very sad day for the
family of Prince Noel Tochukwu Unegbu, a Texas-
based man who came to Nigeria in January to
invest in his motherland.
Noel Unegbu who has been in Texas for over 10
years made up his mind to invest in him home
state few months back, a plan that necessitated
his return to Nigeria which he gladly did.
Unfortunately he has lost his life untimely.
Prince Noel Tochukwu who came to Nigeria last
month for the grand finale of his popular talent-
hunt show, ‘ Imo Got Talent‘ was murdered
yesterday by some unknown gunmen in his hotel
room in Owerri , the capital city of Imo State .
The founder of Imo Got Talent TV show reportedly
lodged at Rapour Hotel two days ago in
preparation for his upcoming show.
The talented show promoter is deeply passionate
about developing talents. He has an artist’s eye
and vision for advertising.
The deceased has worked for top America’s
advertising agencies before deciding to start his
own business in Nigeria. He bagged a degree in
Mass Comm. from Enugu state university after
which he proceeded to Pontifical Urban University
in Rome where he studied Philosophy. From
Rome, Prince Emmanuel moved to the United
States of America where he completed his
Master’s degree in Psychology from the University
of Portland in Oregon.
The popular entertainment figure was a judge on
shows like Miss Heartland, New Nigerian Diva,
Miss Africa Texas, Mr Ideal Nigeria and many
more.
Popularly called Prince Noel by his fans, he met
his untimely death at the aforementioned hotel in
Owerri in the wee hours of yesterday. When the
hotel management heard the gunshots, they
rushed him to the Federal Medical centre in
Owerri where he was pronounced dead.
The season town of his popular Imo Got Talent
show has been scheduled to host in April. Actor
Uti Nwachukwu was billed to host the talent hunt
show.
The deceased was the co-founder of project
Bright light, an initiative against violence in the
world.
Hear him talk about the project in the video
below:
Since his death, his best friends have been
mourning him in the social media.
“Noel, I remembered how we argued over your
desire to promote talentes in Nigeria and how you
spoke passionately ato do something for your
state (imo). You left America to Nigeria to kiff off
imo got talent only to be murdered in your hotel
room. Sad your good intentions was paid by
wickedness. May your creator avenge you.” –
said John Domadi Chukwu via Facebook
Another friend named Mc PC said: “Gone too
soon Prince Noel Tochukwu. You were such a
good guy and a friend. You will be surely missed.
RIP”
A Facebook user named Rossi Mobis who blamed
the hotel management for his death said:
“What happen to Prince Noel Tochukwu?
In a hotel room? Did the gun make no sound?
How did they get into your room?
These guys must be kidding.
People around you knows what happened and the
very Judas that plotted this will be fished out. Go
in peace bro, unfortunately we couldn’t see as
planned but I know that someday we will meet
again”
Sadly his last Facebook message was about his
visit to Imo State Governor Rocas Okorocha. He
paid a courtesy visit to Imo State Government
House on Monday, one day before his death.

Facebook fans:

“GTBank Is Using Workers Salaries ToPay Loans ” – Akure Workers ShutDown Bank

Industrial workers under the Joint Public Service
Negotiating Council (JNC) Ondo State on Tuesday
shut down business activities at the headquarters
branch of the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) on
Alagbaka Road in Akure, the state capital.
The workers, chanting solidarity songs, were
protesting non-payment of their salaries. They
also alleged sabotage of their efforts by the
officers of the bank.
They said that GTB, without the knowledge of the
state government, had withheld their salaries with
the intention of using the money to defray its
loans.
Many of them carried placards bearing such
inscriptions as: “Enough of GTB Exploitation
Antics in Ondo State”; “Workers and People of
Ondo State Beware of GTB in Akure”’ “We are
tired of GTB behavior”; “GTB will ruin our life in
Ondo State”; and “We won’t take this no more for
GTB.”
One of the protesting workers told
SaharaReporters that their salaries were withheld
by the bank while various unknown alerts were
sent to them from the bank.
“As at now I have not received my January salary
which is not supposed to be so. We learnt that
GTB is planning to defraud us. They want to use
our money for loans. We won’t take this from
them.”
Speaking with journalists, the JNC chairman in
Ondo State, Comrade Oluwole Adeleye Samuel,
also alleged that the bank was trying to sabotage
the workers by using their salaries for defraying
loans.
“This bank without the authority of the
government of Ondo State been represented by
the Account General took Seven Hundred and Six
Million Naira (N706.000.000.00) meant for the
payment of workers salary to defray a loan.
“As a result of this our salary has not being paid.
We are tired of this barbaric act of the bank. They
are holding us for ransom and we won’t take it
from them. I can assure you that we won’t allow
any transaction to occur in this bank unless they
pay our people”.
All effort by SaharaReporters to obtain the
position of the Managing Director of the bank
proved abortive, as staff kept mute when asked
about his whereabouts.
But the Head of Operations of the bank, whose
chest badge read ‘Kehinde Oyeleke,’ but who
refused to mention his name to SaharaReporters,
angrily declined to comment on the issue.
“I am not aware of what is happening,” he
retorted. “The bank does not have issues with
the workers. What sort of questions are you
asking me, I just told you we don’t have issues
with the bank? What do you want me to say?”
The workers vowed to continue the protest and
threatened tio occupy the entire street leading to
the Alagbaka branch if no positive progress was
made, adding that they would not allow
customers into the bank.
Meanwhile the Automated Teller Machines
(ATMs) of the bank have been shut down with the
protesters threatening to deal with any workers of
the bank who dared to attend to customers.
As of the time of this story, officers of the Ondo
State Command of the Nigerian Police Force were
being drafted to the scene to curtail any violence
and prevent the protest from being hijacked.

I pity this man’s condition ooo.

Nigerian Music Producer CobhamsAsuquo “My Blindness Is A Gift

33-year-old Cobhams Asuquo who raised popular
musicians like Asa, Timi Dakolo, Omawumi and
Bez recently talked about his blindness and how
his condition has distinguished him.
Hear what the talented song writer said about his
‘Gift Of Blindness’:
Blindness has been a gift for me because it has
done pretty good things to me. It has brought me
face to face with my reality. It has brought me
face to face with possibilities and failure. It has
been a gift to me because it has helped to reduce
the measure of distraction in my life. I like to say
blindness is a focus. It helps create focus. It
could be a gift in many ways. Never mind that it
is what anyone would wish the other person, but
it is a gift to me. I just feel that whoever is blind
can still make the best out of any situation he
finds himself. Being blind has helped add the
wow factor in what I do. It has helped me to be
focused. I don’t think there are many things that
I do that you can’t find other people, who are not
blind, doing well. There are people like my friend,
Don Jazzy, who are absolutely fantastic
producers. Don Jazzy is not blind. There is
Quincy Jones, a legendary producer, who is not
blind. But the blindness has sort of added that
wow factor to what I do. It has brought to fore
my gifts and ability and I am quite thankful for
that.
Cobhams Asuquo is happily married to Ojuola
Olukanni and they are blessed with kids.
Hmmm what a thankful man!

el-rufai-released-dss-after-15hrs

After being questioned for close to fifteen hours at Department of State Services, (DSS) Malam Nasir el-Rufai, former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, who on Tuesday willing surrendered to the DSS regained his freedom.

El-Rufai, the current Interim Deputy National Secretary of the nation’s leading opposition party, All Progressives Congress, APC, was driven on Tuesday by Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, to the national headquarters of the security outfit at about 9.15a.m. in an ash-coloured Mercedes Sports Utility Vehicle was released at about midnight on Monday to go home.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday strongly condemned the harassment of its Deputy National Secretary, Malam Nasir El-Rufai by the Department of State Security (DSS), describing the storming of his residence in Abuja by armed DSS operatives on Friday, without producing any arrest warrant as a shameful overkill.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party expressed shock that the DSS was seeking to arrest El-Rufai for merely exercising his constitutional right of free speech.

It said there was nothing inciting or extraordinary in the statement credited to Malam El-Rufai that theremight be violence if the 2015 general elections were not free and fair.’’What our Deputy National Secretary said is a statement of fact and should not warrant any harassment, unless of course the DSS is saying that the 2015 general elections will not be free and fair,’’ APC said


Nasir el-Rufai was summoned by the DSS over his comment on the possibility of violence erupting if next year’s general elections were rigged.

However, at the DSS headquarters, only Amaechi, Ngige and El-Rufai’s lawyer were allowed to follow him into the premises of the security outfit.

Speaking to newsmen at his Maitama home on Monday morning before he was driven to the DSS headquarters, El-Rufai insisted he was innocent, adding that his comment about the possibility of violence erupting if next year’s general elections were rigged was based on Nigeria’s electoral history.

He maintained that his comment was in line with his freedom of speech as enshrined in the amended 1999 Constitution.

Said he: “The statement I made was based on historical fact because it happened in 1964, 1983, 2003, 2007 and 2011.”

El-Rufai said he was ready to go to court to enforce his fundamental human rights, if the need arose, adding, “we are ready to pursue the enforcement of our rights in the law court and in the court of public opinion; whoever does anything against the law should face the consequences.

More details soon

K1, Wasiu Ayinde Disgraced Pasuma: How He Stopped Oganla From Playing On Stage

The cordial relationship between Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal aka K1 De Ultimate and star singer Pasuma Alabi can never be the same again since they broke out two years ago.

The rivalry war between the duo is yet to rejoin the smooth cord that binds them together.

K1 and Pasuma’s fallout started after a romance allegation between Paso’s daughter, Wasilat and KWAM1. This we learnt was the major issue that broke the Fuji stars apart.

Months after the fight, Pasuma emerged as self-acclaimed Oga Nla 1 of fuji music.

The move we learnt forced K1 to vow a legal battle against Paso.

Instead of his legal suit, the Arabambi first of fuji music bent on waging war against pasuma over his decision to leave the defunct Arabambi clan. Since then, he has stopped sharing the same stage with him.

Recently at the launching of Murphy Afolabi‘s new movie, Omo Mushin, K1 showed that seniority is superiority when he prevented Oganla of fuji music from performing at the event.

Entertainment insiders disclosed that K1, Pasuma and 9ice were invited to perform at the event by the organizers and to grace the stage in an ascending other. As soon as the hip hop star, 9ice finishes his performance, K1 quickly grabbed the microphone.

We learnt the Fuji legend dominated the whole show; not minding Pasuma who was equally billed to perform at the event.

It was a huge surprise to many dignitaries at the show that K1 did not wait for his time and refused to acknowledge the presence of Pasuma as he continued jeering the names of stars at the event. K1 did not leave the stage until 9pm after all the important dignitaries had left.

The show of embarrassment did not go well with Paso who angrily left the event without performing.

The most painful thing is that Pasuma who featured in the film was eager to deliver his musical prowess to entertain his waiting fans.

An insider said K1′s refusal to leave the stage was based on the presence of big spenders at the event who were largely Pasuma’s fans and ready to shower heavy cash but K1 preferred that such cash should be spent on him.

This big embarrassment could start another face off between the duo.

A Must Read Inspirational Story

                                                                       
This man, in the face of this was not fulfilled. This was because he was just a column writer in a local newspaper, and through that, he earned not more than #25,000 in a month.
Consequently, he could only afford a small public school for his children, much to the chagrin of his dear wife.
Slowly but surely, this woman gradually lost all the respect that he had for her husband. Especially due to the fact that she was earning a bit higher than her dear husband due to promotions.
Damn… She was young and beautiful, and this made men to flock around her always trying to get a taste of God’s beautiful creature but she had remained faithful for the love of her husband. But as things stands now, she was moving to the brink of compromise.
She was to see the full dividend of her compromise when a certain chief gave her the sum of #450,000 just for her Christmas shopping. So this is what I have been missing all these while she reasoned. This made her to loosen herself to every big man in town whom she believes would foot better bills for her. Through out the ember months, her class changed even as she unilaterally changed her children’s school to one of the best in the state.
Mr Jacobs her husband, who was into column writing has proved himself to be an enemy to the state government in power. So many times, the governor had sent thugs to man-handle him and even leave him in bruises. His criticism of the brutal governor has not gone down well with his wife either, who had in the past begged her husband to stop the column-writing in order to save his life for the sake of her and the children. Yet, Mr Jacobs held out. The governor had tried in every possible way to stop this man but he seemed not to be afraid of death. He even went as far as rejecting bribes from the government house. His wife almost went mad when she heard that her husband rejected a #500,000 bribe from the governor when they were struggling to eat.
Consequently, her disgust for Mr Jacobs grew.
Mr Jacobs had now started hearing “kepu kepu” about his wife’s escapades in town with high chief and this further led to his frustration but yet, he kept on writing his column.
The gossips about his wife got so much that he had to confront her about it only to be washed with insults by his wife about how “useless” and “irresponsible” he is.
Florence, his wife was a personified venom on that day as she further claimed that Mr Jacobs has not been man enough for her and his children. And since he could not shoulder his responsibilities, other men had to do it for him.
On hearing this, Mr Jacobs who had not beaten his wife ever before, released a hot, dirty slap on Florence’s cheek
Poooooow !!!
That slap… That brutal slap… That ruthless slap, made his wife to tell him that she regrets the day she married him. It was indeed the last straw that broke the camel’s back as regards their marital well-being. Florence could not tolerate that assault, not after catering for the family with her hard earned cash when her husband was not able to.

That Christmas, Mr Jacobs had not planned to move his family home for Christmas because of his cash strapped pocket. But his enraged wife had another plan, especially when she has the big men blowing her pocket.
Just on the morning of 24th Dec, she moved her children to her own home town to spend the Christmas there. Mr Jacobs was to come back from the office after writing an image tarnishing piece against the governor’s wife who had turned her office into a spending castle, only to meet a note on the table from his wife about their whereabouts. All these because i don’t have money, he murmured to himself in anguish . . . . . . . . . And cried profusely like a baby.
Oh poor Jacobs !!
He stayed all alone through out the season, little did he know what was coming.
In the governor’s new year broadcast on the 1st of January, His Excellency shocked the state. Mr Jacobs Anasor is hereby appointed as the new Director General of the State Broadcasting service. His party advisers had advised him to appoint the ruthless writer as a way to seduce him to their side. This was coming after the former board was dissolved 2 weeks ago. The governor feared that Mr Jacobs would reject the offer if he was informed before hand about it, hence he chose to broadcast it first.
Mrs Florence was not aware of this broadcast. But its reality dawned on her when her colleagues, friends and neighbours started raining calls to her phone like never before, congratulating her. This was a shocker. She just could not believe it. Infact, she was confused. Where does she go from here ?
Mr Jacobs was to have a government delegation sent to his house to urge him to accept the appointment which entailed him starting work the next day, which is 2nd of January.
After being handed over at the office, his new secretary came in with a crying woman, HIS WIFE ! He bowed down while struggling to hold back his tears, He Cried. Share to Inspire others.

Lesson for all. very inspirational

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you.

He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.”

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard….

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”

There is an old saying “What goes around comes around."
