A well-worn out N1000 note and a similarly
distressed N10 note arrived at the Central
Bankto be retired. As they moved along the
conveyor belt to be
burnt, they struck up a conversation. The one
thousand naira reminisced about its travels all
over thecountry: "I've had a pretty good life"
the onethousand naira proclaimed. "I have been
toLagos, Ibadan, Benin, Kano, and Abuja.
The finest restaurants in Victoria Island, Kaduna,
Abuja and Eastern Nigeria. Performances at
Muson Centre and Glover Hall, the hottest nite
clubs all over the country and even a cruise on
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans." "WOW!" said
the ten naira. "You've really had an exciting
life!" "So tell me yours, said the N1,000 note,
"where
have you been throughout your life time?"
The N10 note replies: "Oh, I've been to the
ECWA Churches, Apostolic and Methodist
Churches, the Redeemed Christian Church,
the Deeper Life Bible church, Baptist Church,
the C & S Church, CCC, the Lutheran Church,
St Peter Catholic Church, etc. "The N1,000 note
interrupts: "What is a church?"
"It's a place where believers in Jesus Christ
gather to worship God in spirit and in truth",
replied the ten naira note. "My masters never
took me to Church" lamented the N1,000 naira
note. So, please, please and please, take1,000
naira notes to Church today, they want to
know Jesus too
