Aliko Dangote

A rolling stone gathers no moss,

And still water gathers mildew.

So if you are to be the boss,

You must awake before the dew.

Words of wisdom but of pun,

Spewing out like rays of the sun.

And I listened well with intent,

As Dangote lectured me via the internet.

Seldom do we get them to share

Wisdom with this kind of flair.

’’So if you entered the bedroom of Bill Gate,

Within a minute and one thing for you to take,

What will I see with you while exiting his gate’’

This was the rich man’s question,

When I asked him how he made his wealth.

Will you take a picture or money for the future? 

Will you pick his diary or a book of fortune?

To be sincere, I couldn’t answer.

So help me, my dear reader. 

’’If you take one thing from a rich man,

You can’t be like him. 

Unless he hands over to you exactly what made him rich’’ he continued.

So be patient,

Watch and learn.

Go, try it out and return.

Ask for guidance and yearn.

But when time is due, don’t flaunt it on the internet.
