According to Reno, people should stop looking for rich friends but instead look for friendships that will enrich them.
In his words;
”Don’t look for beautiful and rich friends. You are getting it backwards. Instead, look for friends who can give you a beautiful and rich friendship and to whom you can return the favour. Good friends are the true beauty and richness of life. In fact, if you dont want a broken heart, practice this rule: Love unconditionally, with no expectations from the one you love. It makes your love so irresistible that it will be impossible to abandon it. Purity of love is the sweetest thing known to man”

“Then, on her way home, she bought sniper. Around 1am, on Thursday, she woke Aduke from sleep as well as her younger brothers.
“She gave them something to drink but the two boys said they did not want and returned to sleep. She then woke them up, took them to their uncle’s house that was nearby and told the man she wanted to do something in the house.
“She came back woke Aduke and handed the cup to her. She just drank it and went back to sleep again. That was how she died.”

A Ghanaian police officer is trending on social media after he rejected an amount of money that was to be used to bribe him and strongly warned the driver not to repeat that.
In the video the officer stopped the vehicle commonly known as ‘Mahama Camboo’ to make some checks.
He routinely asked for the license of the driver, which the driver gave out with an amount of money embedded in it.
It could be clearly spotted in the video that the police officer instantly became visibly angry when he saw the amount of money, for which he asked the driver to park and wait.
Within a short moment, he was back asking the driver why he would do such a thing. At this point, the driver started to apologize.
“Your money would not do anything for me, as I take more salary than you yourself. Are you aware how much I am paid a month?” the officer angrily asked the driver.
The footage appears to have been secretly recorded by a passenger who was probably trying to catch the officer in the act of bribery but was pleasantly surprised instead.
