People have beautiful things to say about you, but you must die first.

This world is funny. A very funny place mostly in my country Nigeria.

When you are alive, they are silent.
When you die, they become poets.

While you are alive, they won't like your post. They won't tell you you are good. They won't call to say I am proud of you. And so on...
But nevertheless, pray to be alive and live forever if possible.

But once you die, they will say, he was such a good man, she had a golden heart, why did death take this good person? And the list go on...
Just pray not to die.

All the beautiful words come out at your burial.

And I asked,
why must we wait till death to celebrate people?

That your friend you admire, tell him today.
That your mother who tries her best, praise her now.
That your colleague who works hard, appreciate him now.

Don't wait until they are no more.
Don't wait for funeral to speak.

A flower given at the grave has no scent. Give it now while they can smell it.

Say the beautiful things today. Tomorrow may be too late.

Have you noticed this too?
