“Do not be angry with the dormant friends you have on Facebook and on social media who do not LIKE or comment on your statuses and pictures, and do not congratulate you on your birthday. See them just as the regular passengers you meet every morning on the train and bus on your way to work, and with whom you do not exchange greetings ― the only thing you share being just passengers on board the same train and bus.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Spring is the light at the end of the tunnel we know as winter.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“If they remain with you during a storm, remain with them after the storm. Fake people are among the trash that storms usually carry with them.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“The man to envy is that man who has contentment. Besides having peace of mind, he has what money cannot buy.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Growing old and growing up are like the front and back covers of a book; they’re two different things.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Friends are like websites. There are some you visit more than the others.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Faith is believing that the gun pointed at you may not have bullets, and even when it has, will not hit you when fired, and even when they hit you, will not kill you, and even when they kill you, you will not die, and even when you die, you do not lose your life, and even when you lose it, faith helps you regain it.”
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“If you buy stolen goods, you’re not a thief. But you’re like the tiger that is not a cat but belongs to the cat family.”
