GOOD NAME CANNOT BE BOUGHT...... By Dotun George

I watched a documentary that detailed the public life of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. So fascinating, educative and instructive.
At the time of his death, what he left behind apart from his moral character and integrity, the following items were found in his apartment: black and white TV given to him by Queen Elizabeth, one radio, photos on the wall, furniture and one chair and books in his library.

In the process of watching it, I remembered again, the biography of Pa Adekunle Ajasin that read about Five years ago. At the time, Pa Ajasin was leaving government house, he did not enriched himself with public funds. The furniture in his house when he was swore in as the Governor of the old Ondo State was the same furniture found in his house when he left government house. Compare these patriots with the present day political jobbers, whose preoccupation was to loot and plunder the nation, you will discovered there was a wide margin. The likes of Tafawa Balewa,  Ajasin, Awolowo and few other who sacrificed all for our common good cannot be forgotten. History and posterity has bless them already for the roles they played during their public service.

You can't buy integrity, character, and good name. You have so much to lose by living on the negative side of history.
Any man who gain his wealth, riches and fortune through the ruins of his country is doomed already. History cannot bless him and posterity will curse him.

A good name is better than silver and gold. Its last longer than dollars and what money can buy. It is inexhaustible riches.
