a Post by Akin Etin- Ojehomon Sr
I remember when my friend PETER AGIDIGBI son of the owner of the well known AGIDIGBI Sawmills had just won the election to the State Assembly. I had just returned to bury my mother. Peter had built a very nice grocery store along James Watt I believe and had sold it to fund his campaign. I believe he lost everything when Buhari took over.
This is the question: Peter gambled everything he owned to indulge in Corruption. He was a growing businessman, invested his inheritance well but gambled it on stealing money from the Government Coffers.
Should I feel sorry for Peter?.
Yes this was in December of 1983.

This is my response to the above post...

The Bible tells us that we are permitted to fall in the struggle of life 7 times. Peter was briefly with us at Edo Boys High School in 1972. He wanted to serve his people, he asked and got their votes.  He made his mistakes in Life, in business and in politics. However, I do not see that as the end of the struggle for him.  All he need do is to pick up the pieces and march towards the Prize.His eye should be on the price at all times A legend once said it is not the number of time you fail or fall but it is the number of times you try getting up that counts.
