Examine True Friendship

Examine True Friendship In Life-Godday Odidi

Not everybody is your friend or enemy. Life has taught me to study people before getting close to them. You might be working with your enemy unknown to you.

Today, everybody sees me with my mentor, Dr.Michael Orobosa Ubogu, some say, Godday is lucky, I just laugh, it took my mentor and brother about 6years to study my behavior if I'm one of those who is after his money or fame. I knew him from his starting point and he knew how the journey of Mindset started too. Today, I'm not just his protege but a younger brother he counsels and listens to always.

Today, I m well-respected in the Maritime industry, he officially introduced me to his mentor and father, Comrade Adeyanju Adewale. We designed the e-voting website to be used for future MWUN elections. 

Friendship is all about trust, love, and due process. Playing outsmarting attitude towards your helpers or mentors could stop further helps in life.

My mentor taught me something, before you do business with people, do background verification but I have been victims of this. I'm so compassionate about people's problems and always ready to render quick assistance.

Sometimes, the people I pity, feel they are too much and now they can do without me. One opportunity can close by one bad attitude in life. Dr.Ubogu and Comrade Adeyanju have taught me to follow due process in life. One bad report about you can stop some people from helping you in life. 

Most problems we face today are not spiritual but physical, trying to run faster than our destinies. In Nigeria, the attitudinal character has eaten deep into our mindsets.

Anybody who connects you to your profession is your God but trying to dent his or her image before the helper might result in future battles.

A few years ago, I went to look for a job at a law firm at Surulere, Lagos, the young man that welcomed me into his MD's office was a worker. After the MD saw my CV, he wanted to employ me immediately that my CV convinced him that I could do better than the young man that welcomed me to his office. I just smiled and left his office. I was jobless but never allowed myself to be used as a prayer point.

If you must grow steadily, the guiding principle of life, you must follow them accordingly to examine a true friendship. Quality friendship brings positive results.
