THE NED I KNOW: WHY PRINCE NED NWOKO ENJOYS SO MUCH GOODWILL FROM THE PEOPLE- Part 3

The Ned I Know: Why Prince Ned Nwoko Enjoys So Much Goodwill From The People - Part 3

Other Leaders Should Emulate NED’s Humanity...

Ned Is Very Different In Showing Mercy And Respecting Others...

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” - Maya Angelou

These inspired words of one of America’s greatest poets and inspirational female advocate, Maya Angelou, holds true for a lot of us today, YES, we never forget how people made us feel at any point in time.

Hon. Prince Ned NWOKO enjoys a lot of goodwill from people across ANIOMA, the entire Delta state and internationally because of so many virtues he possesses which most leaders unfortunately lack today.

Prince Ned NWOKO is very compassionate. He needs no further introduction as to his wealth in compassion. If he’s to be rated materially in terms of his compassionate deeds, he unarguably, would be rated as ONE of the wealthiest men who ever walked through the planet earth. I say this without bias because it’s a lot easier for the poor to show compassion to others especially those they need favours from but the case is most times on the reverse side with elites and wealthy people especially when they don’t need you, compassion is not a dish they would have on their trays to serve you.

Prince Ned has so much goodwill from the people wherever he goes because Prince Ned shows honour to all he meets. By virtue of my work, I have been so privileged to have met, interacted with and worked for different people especially elites from different ethnicities, but trust me when I say, Prince Ned Nwoko is very special, uniquely humane and makes those who come to him feel very special too. He is VERY different in this regard.

Prince Ned NWOKO would come to his gate to pick his guests, some who are very lowly and and he would smile at them affectionately to soothe whatever pain or stress they may have experienced even when they are “UNINVITED” GUESTS, but some leaders and elites I know would keep you waiting at their gate for a very long time before their protocol allows you into the compound and then you begin to wait in their “waiting room” before you are finally ushered in to see the “Oga” notwithstanding the fact that you were actually there “INVITED” with so much pleas by the same person who had kept you waiting at the gate: the “OGA”.

Have you seen the ecstatic mood and actions of the people when Hon. Prince Ned NWOKO walks into an event or a gathering? Everything literally stops momentarily with thunderous claps, greetings, ovations and positive exclamations even though he does not occupy any elective, appointed, government or public office currently while some persons INCLUDING sitting governors would come into their state events and no one even cares or makes any appreciative remarks, positive sounds or respectful welcome gestures except for the announcement of their arrival and presence OR, the declaration for the national anthem to be observed, this is goodwill coming from the people to Prince Ned which he has earned naturally over the years by being a friend to all, this goodwill is not induced, not rehearsed but spontaneous appreciation from the hearts of the people he has made feel special at different points without any much ado and this undoubtedly reminds me of the words of Maya Angelou as espoused above; people will never forget how you made them feel.

Dear leaders, this is for you; mind how you treat and make people feel for one day, the same person(s) you treat so badly today because you are a “leader” will surely become tomorrow’s leader, your leader, likely in your old age when all may have forgotten your relevance and ABANDONED you but would certainly NOT have forgotten how you have made them feel long ago. So, be good to all.

YES! People will always remember how you made them feel all through the years. Be kind, be different, be compassionate. It will make the difference.

With Love Always,
