  His name is Mr. Uwaifo. I have known this man for about 18 years now and He is one of those God used to inspire and motivate me to take my walk with Him to another level as I was wrapping up my secondary school education. I'll leave that gist for another time. For now I want to just share some things with you that this great man said to me and some of my colleagues when we bumped into each other in the office some time ago.
