Armed Robbery 101




I came across this piece and I just could not help but share it here. It is indeed “food for thought”. Enjoy:

There was this robbery in Guangzhou, d robber shouted to everyone
"All don't move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you". Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.
This is called "Mind Changing Concept --> Changing the conventional way of thinking".
------------------------------------------------
One lady lay on the table provocatively; the robber shouted at her "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional --> Focus only on what you are trained to do!"
-------------------------------------------------
When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who is only primary school educated), "Big bro, let's count how much we got", the older robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so much money, how to count, simple Tonight's News on TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience --> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications!"
-------------------------------------------------
After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. The supervisor says "Wait, wait wait, let's put the 8 million Dollars we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed".
This is called "Swim with the tide --> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!"
-------------------------------------------------
The supervisor says "It will be good if there is a robbery every month".
This is called "Killing Boredom --> Happiness is most important."
-------------------------------------------------
The next day, TV news reported that 10 million Dollars was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 2 million Dollars.
The robbers were very angry and complained "We risked our lives and only took 2 million Dollars while the bank manager took 8 million Dollars with a snap of his fingers.
It looks like it is better to be educated than 2b a thief"

Now to me I think that last piece sums it up! Though funny it is so right, even if you choose to turn out bad, you still need education… ouch!
I love the happiness bit too (5th)! Whatever you do find happiness, seek the funny side of situations, learn to laugh and you will be better for it.

Special Message from Concert Radio

Thursday 25 April, 2013

Dear followers,
On 3rd April 2013, your beloved Concert Radio experienced its biggest challenge ever when our website was hacked by some unscrupulous persons who found pleasure in disrupting our good works and rising profile in the Nigerian and indeed global media landscape.
The hacker hijacked our news and entertainment blog denying us access to our backend making us lose vital articles and records. However through the preparedness of our team of web managers, the hackers could not reach our streaming server and we have had uninterrupted radio transmission throughout the period we battled to have our domain back until now to the satisfaction of fans and clients.
We reclaimed our domain in 48hours with the LIVE radio link restored albeit without our regular daily news and updates. However, we are happy to inform you all teeming fans of Concert Radio and Concert Plus TV that your beloved news and entertainment blog, Top 10 Naija hits, Top video and other regulars are fully back with the full site, and other great things have happened to us while we worked to get them back on.
During this period and despite this evil attack we had the privilege of hosting representatives of the US Consulate Abuja at our station on April 11th 2013 bringing the goodwill message of the US Mission in Nigeria to Concert Radio and endorsing us as “the true model of Nigerian youths doing the job and not just talking the talk”. We also launched 2 brand new shows on Concert Radio namely ‘Iya Basira’ the lunch hour food talk show and ‘Love Doctor’ another afternoon show poised to help ailing relationships and with which we have successfully brought a divorced couple back together. Both shows are anchored by our latest Concert Radio OAP, Opeyemi a.k.a MC Ospe.
As at April 3 when the website was hacked, the Concert Radio blog had generated over 7, 847 views in February/March alone in addition to the over 60, 000 site hits, with listenership in 47 countries and we have continued to go higher.
The Concert Plus team and management wish to express our sincere gratitude to you all who stuck with us during this period and to our web management team for their prompt action and hard work. We also say thank you to all partners and clients for their calmness and belief in our assurances of delivering on all business obligations; we are glad we did not fail you.
We remain committed to our vision “to be a one-stop site consistently selling Nigeria and Africa to the world via quality entertainment content and to build the continent’s number one web based culture exchange platform”.
Thank you once again for your continued listenership, support and patronage.
