when God got to the top of the pyramid,he felt lonely.
Then he decided to split himself into creation to have experience.

I don't blame him...he is 91 years of age. That's old, and i won't be surprised if he has not surpassed his expectation as to when he would die.

And yeah, most of his friends would be dead by now.

I have heard a woman of the same age from another country in an interview expressing the same sentiment as Dantata.
In life,all your memories are tied to your friends and peers.
My grandmother died at 136,there are days when she will be talking about her dead brothers and sisters.
She will be praising them.
All of a sudden,her face will begin to glow with a sort of brightness,we will begin to feel presence .
My dad will shout on her and everything will become normal again

Show me ten people who got to the top thru legit ways and i'll show you ninety of 'em who trampled on others to get to the top.
This part of the word is not right, it is uneven and cruel. You have to step on people to attain any height in life.

Law of diminishing did sets in at some point in life. Blame that on the ever changing mentality and perception of humans.
The great Albert Einstein once denied a surgery to live longer and his words "i want to go when i want to go".

That 'most' might've made it to the top through dishonest means doesn't mean there are not some who made it there through legit means.



Can we then say that when Einstein left was when he wanted to leave?

Ehn...get there first then see if it is worth it or not.All this motivational speakings.

You will be the first I will be replying.

Money is a mirage and the biggest time waster! Do you know money is a liability on time?

You will spend all your hours growing that money, before you realize, you are old. And when you feel it’s time to start enjoying your wealth, your are outdated and your desire has diminished.

At that point, your mind start querying you about how you devoted so much time on what you cannot even spend.

Man’s wants are infinite, but trust me, it will dawn on you at some point. If you do a rough estimate, at some point, you chasing what you can’t finish spending, at the detriment of the best life.

That is life for you.

This is why we hammer on the need to prepare for Eternity because that is the real life.

Life here on earth is just a temporal thing.
Eternity is forever and ever.

Don't allow the few years you have here on earth to destroy your forever and ever.
Live in the Conciousness of your Eternity.

If you will make Eternal life in Heaven, you must Believe and Surrender to JESUS Christ as your LORD and Savior.

Having money doesn't guarantee Peace of mind, Joy and Happiness....


The rich also cry.....

Yeah but in his case, He is crying cos of old age . . . almost all of his friends, acquittances, and people He enjoyed life with are dead. I bet his money must have an impact on him living so long.

If you want to be great, walk with great people. They will tell you all you need to know. Sometimes, it feels like they discouraging you, but if you critically think and analyze it, you will find it difficult to accept.

Everybody says let me have it first, forgetting it’s all dependent on time put-in, which is irredeemable

Now the question is,what is the best life?Can you get the best of life without money?The money I am referring to is self sufficiency,not billions and uncountable properties.Surely not for my kind.Contentment is it.

I was to referring to average life in the first place. That’s the standard life where you can work and play. A life where you can have a sound sleep and get back to work. Visit families at wish and merry with no schedule.

When you start hitting some financial standing…. You will never know what hot you till probably a 4 decades later when you start questioning your own self.

The money chase can be compared to drugs. Your bank statements will be intoxicating you and your zeal will be multiplying. Before you will ever have a reason to question yourself, 50 years is gone and it will just feel like you started yesterday.

As humans, we never accept this fact until it dawns on us. Few people do though, I mean very few.

What wasn't worth what? Life? Experience?
How you get/got to the top will determine whether or not it was worth it.

What kind of lesson?
That legal wealth accumulation is bad?
We should all stay poor and automatically go to heaven!?
He's over 90 years! I have been hearing about Dantata Land and Sea since I was in primary school.
He made billions. Enjoyed life. He's now ready to go.
Natural progression

He never said acquisition of legal wealth is wrong,but don't make it the sole purpose of your existence (that's if you are a Muslim).
The baba has seen it and done it all,and there's nothing more to be done,only those who don't see the uselessness of chasing after life itself are those who are hedonistic in habit.

Nothing dey this life,except to please God.

Exactly what the wisdom of God said in the below verse of the scripture, especially in the last paragraph.

Ecclesiastes 12:1 (KJV) Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Wonderful!
This man is a typical Haus Muslim. When you stay close to people like this they make you remember the Creator in all you do and act based on the fear of God.
One desires to be a Muslim when he sees great men like this full of fear of God and not willing to offend anyone at all.

Aminu Dogo as you are fondly called, don't worry because your life is very important to Nigerians. We need elderstatesmen of your standing to stay with us in this side of the creation. Besides, your family still needs you around sir.

Hypothetically yes, i guess he was already tired of living at that point. He was shaken following his contribution on the nuclear bomb development and the devastation it caused to humanity by the hiroshima and nagasaki narratives.

Sure. Unless you lived your life for the meaningful impacting of people's lives, to better the lot of the vulnerable and the destitute in society, to put smiles on people's faces. If you succeeded in touching lives, you would most likely feel fulfilled at the end of your purposeful life. Well, that is my opinion, at least.

Lol.. Top notch verbosity
How you take know say, "at the top of the pyramid, it will dawn on you, that...... Worth it"
Shey you think say he dey regret say e b 90yrs or you are bn figurative or proverbial...
Critically analyzing things, means applying one, or combining different schools of thought to analyze a unique situation.
Moreover the man no de regret at the top, only asking for peace...
Lastly I didn't say/mean you are wrong, I just want to understand, what you actually meant?
