Nigerian model, actor and TV personality Uti
Nwachukwu has written a new piece
exclusively for BN.
The 32-year-old who recently celebrated his
birthday in South Africa, previously penned an
article about not carrying vultures into your
new life.
In “You’ll Never Grow Unless…”, he talks about
moving to a place of success and more.
Read;
Yeah, the headline caught your attention
didn’t it?
Sounds like the curse of an angry relative,
spouse, friend, abi?
The truth is…you will never grow unless you
show that you are ready for the blessings by
rising above your current situation.
Sitting at a popular lounge in Lagos, I watch
a group of girls all well dressed chatting,
laughing, toasting to life and saying “we run
this town” even breaking into the Rihanna
chorus. Now that’s a LOL moment.
Not far off is also a group of young men in
designer apparel throwing it up with 10
buckets of champagne and shouting “where ya
rozay..show me ya rozay (rosé)”.
1.) Fiction: Wow! These peeps are living the
life and their dreams
2.) Fact: Na only one person dey pay all the
bills while others are follow follow, pose pose
3.) Worst Case Scenario: They finish partying,
have no money to pay and leave their phones
or car keys behind till they settle their bills.
Permit me to laugh out loud at this point :
bwaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaah.
Okay that’s done….
It amazes me how people with crowd
mentality are constantly waiting for that super
natural blessing to come and take them out of
their current situation. Comparing themselves
with the leader of the group while they wait to
covet.
Really, you are praying and fasting? And then
you go back to your clique to pretend to pop
rosé and run this town? Wake Up!
Especially the young generation today, are you
kidding me?
Okay, let’s say you get a blessing, how are
you going to handle it? How will you cater for
it?
The same you that will say “Ah I won’t go
through this or that or suffer ‘cos God will not
give me something I cant handle”. Exactly!
If you show God that you are an irresponsible
little pretentious spoiled brat, how do you
expect him to load you with blessings fit for a
king?
Just imagine leaving your only child in the
care of a baby sitter that allowed 6 puppies to
die under her care. Your answer is as good as
mine.
Then there is the clique mentality. Show me
one HUGELY SUCCESSFUL man that became
successful while being part of a clique?
Show me one that became successful, then
joined or started a clique and remained or
became more successful? (Even music bands
split and only 1 becomes the star).
Names anyone? Talk Nah? Oh your still
thinking abi? Ponder some more while I go on.
To succeed, you have to rise above the clique.
In my other article, I said to rise you have to
die a little on the inside, you have to be
broken…alone! Yes no man is an island I know
I know, I’m not saying be a recluse o. Not at
all.
But I’m saying you cannot move and live in a
clique constantly. Have times you set out for
friends.Don’t make it a lifestyle.
Do you know only one person can cause you
chronic delay? (Remember Abraham and Lot ?
…. Your eyes are opening now ba?)
If you are in a clique now. Think of how much
progress (legit) you have gotten with your so
called ”hommies and babes”. Yeah your
starting to realize?
Success, failure and stagnancy are highly
infectious! How many people will sit and
watch you make it out of the clique and leave
them behind? You are dreaming, if you think
it’s a reality.
I Uti Nwachukwu have been on both sides.
And for every time a new chapter was to begin,
I often found myself in a place where not a lot
of people are around me, a time where the
things that excite the juvenile become boring,
a time where spending time with God became
deeper, and then BOOM! New blessings! New
Doors, My new Chapter.
You cannot be irresponsible and expect God to
give you the responsibility that comes with
being blessed. If you do not know how to
manage yourself at NOTHING, then
SOMETHING will never come to past in your
life.
You will see that you will continue to live the
false life of complacency and the false hope of
the lazy man.
It’s time to rise up! Rise above the life of
cliques! Start doing something no matter how
small, sober up.
Take the bull by the horns. Stop being a
liability to people and move on to the new
friends till they too get tired of you.
Start being a provider and cater for your own
self and your family and be a helper to
someone.
I’m no pastor or shrink, I’m just a man who
learns from everyday experiences and shares
with the lives of people whom God has
decided to use me to touch.
A word is enough for the wise. Start now
before it gets too late. Try it and see how
once again you shall rise like the Phoenix
from the ashes of your past mistakes with the
lessons as the wind with which you shall glide
upon with the help of God.
And remember…
It always begins with a choice.
