One day, as Oyewo was out exploring the forest near their village, he stumbled upon a hidden cave. Curious, he entered the dark cavern, only to find himself face to face with a majestic dragon. Who dares disturb my slumber? the dragon roared, its fiery breath sending chills down Oyewo's spine.

mean no harm, mighty dragon, Oyewo stammered, trying to remain calm in the face of danger. I seek only wisdom and guidance.

The dragon eyed Oyewo warily, sensing his sincerity and honesty. After a moment of contemplation, the dragon spoke in a booming voice. Very well, young man. I shall impart to you the knowledge you seek, the dragon declared. For only through courage, compassion, and humility can one truly become a hero in this world.

He nodded, taking the dragon's words to heart. He knew that he had been given a rare opportunity to learn from a creature of great wisdom and power.

SECOND ADVICE FROM CHIEF TO HIS SON.

Heterto, Chief called Oyewo second day to continue advice him regarding life situation.

More, Chief Joseph called his son to give him some advice. Oyewo, my son, he said, I want to tell you something very important. In life, never take shortcuts to achieve success. Those who try to cut corners often end up facing tragic consequences. I have seen it happen before, and I don't want it to happen to you.

Oyewo listened intently to his father's words, feeling a sense of unease creep over him. He knew that his father's advice was always worth heeding, so he took his words to heart.

Chief Joseph continued, I have a friend who once told me a story about a young boy from a neighboring village. This boy was desperate for money and wanted to make a quick fortune. He decided to take a shortcut by visiting a notorious herbalist in a nearby town. The herbalist promised him riches beyond his wildest dreams, but at a terrible cost.

The boy ignored all warnings and went ahead with the herbalist's plan. But instead of finding wealth, he found only despair. The herbalist's dark magic had a deadly price, and the boy paid it with his life. He died at the young age of 19, with nothing to show for his greed.

Oyewo shuddered at the thought of such a tragic end. He knew that he must heed his father's advice and tread carefully on his path to success.

Chief Joseph looked at his son with a grave expression and said, Remember, my son, to be careful of the advice of others. Not all who offer guidance have your best interests at heart. Be like a dove, harmless and pure, but also be as wise as a serpent, knowing when to trust and when to be cautious. Your journey in life will be long and challenging, but with wisdom and patience, you will find your way.

Oyewo nodded solemnly, understanding the weight of his father's words. He knew that he must be vigilant and discerning in his choices, for the road ahead was fraught with dangers and temptations.

As the days passed, Oyewo kept his father's advice close to his heart. He worked hard and persevered, never succumbing to the lure of shortcuts or easy gains. He faced many obstacles and setbacks along the way, but he remained steadfast in his resolve.

With each passing day, Oyewo grew wiser and stronger, becoming a beacon of hope and inspiration to those around him. He forged his own path, guided by the wisdom of his father and the lessons he had learned along the way.

In the end, Oyewo achieved great success and prosperity, not through shortcuts or deceit, but through hard work, honesty, and integrity. He became a leader in his community, respected and admired by all who knew him.

And as he looked back on his journey, Oyewo knew that he owed it all to the sage advice of his father, Chief Oladele Joseph. Through his guidance and wisdom, Oyewo had found his true purpose and fulfilled his destiny, becoming a shining example of what it means to live a life of honor and integrity.

And so, the legacy of Chief Joseph lived on through his son, Oyewo, a testament to the power of wisdom and the importance of following the right path, no matter how difficult it may be. And in the village of Nigeria, their story became legend, inspiring generations to come to walk in the footsteps of greatness and never stray from the path of righteousness.

THIRD ADVICE FROM CHEIF TO HIS SON.

Oyewo worked tirelessly day and night to achieve his goals, but he often found himself getting caught up in the fast-paced lifestyle of his friends.

One day, Oyewo received a call from Chief, a wise and respected elder in the community. Chief wanted to meet with Oyewo to give him some important advice. As they sat down to talk, Chief began by reminding Oyewo of the importance of patience in life.

You must be patient, my dear Oyewo, Chief said. Life is not a race, and you should not try to rush through it. Take things slow and steady, and you will eventually achieve success.

Oyewo nodded in agreement, realizing that he had been trying to keep up with his friends and their fast-paced lifestyles. Chief continued to share a story from his own past to illustrate his point.

When I was younger and working actively, I was in charge of the cash at my job, Chief explained. One day, a friend of mine advised me to change all the money to fake currency so that we could share the real money amongst ourselves. But I knew that such dishonesty would only lead to trouble, so I refused. I chose to take the honest path, even though it was not the easy one.

Oyewo was impressed by Chief's integrity and wisdom. He realized that he needed to follow Chief's advice and not be swayed by the temptations of his friends. From that day on, Oyewo made a conscious effort to slow down and focus on his own path to success.

As time passed, Oyewo's patience and hard work began to pay off. He started to see progress in his career and personal life, achieving small victories along the way. He no longer felt the need to compare himself to others or keep up with their hectic lifestyles.

One day, Chief called Oyewo again to check in on him. He was pleased to hear that Oyewo had taken his advice to heart and was making positive changes in his life. Chief praised Oyewo for his growth and perseverance, emphasizing that true success comes from within.

Remember, my dear Oyewo, success is not about how fast you can reach your goals, but how you navigate the journey, Chief said. Stay true to yourself and your values, and you will overcome any obstacles that come your way.

With Chief's guidance and support, Oyewo continued to thrive and excel in all aspects of his life. He became a role model for his peers, showing them that patience, integrity, and hard work were the keys to lasting success.

And so, Oyewo's story became a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of staying true to oneself. With Chief's wisdom and guidance, Oyewo was able to break through the obstacles in his path and achieve his dreams, one step at a time.

ANOTHER ADVICE FROM FATHER TO SON IN ANOTHER DAY

One day, as the sun rose over the village, Chief Joseph sat down with his son, Oyewo, to impart some important advice to him once more.

Son, do not try to know everything in life, Chief Joseph began, his voice deep and resonant. Trying to know everything in life can lead to predicaments, as it can cloud your judgment and lead you down the wrong path.

Ade listened intently, his eyes wide with curiosity. He had always admired his father's wisdom and sought to emulate him in every way.

Furthermore, do not be too inclusive in life, Chief Joseph continued. It is important to be open-minded and accepting of others, but being too inclusive can lead to being taken advantage of. It is important to strike a balance in all things. Oyewo nodded, taking in his father's words and committing them to memory. Chief Joseph's advice was always valuable and he knew it would serve him well in the years to come.

And finally, do not be too forward in life, Chief Joseph said, his gaze intense. Being too forward can put you in dangerous situations and jeopardize your safety. It is important to be cautious and mindful of your actions.

With that, Chief Joseph concluded his advice, leaving Oyewo to ponder his words and reflect on their meaning. As the day wore on, Ade found himself mulling over his father's words, trying to apply them to his own life and experiences.

That night, as Oyewo lay in bed, a strange feeling washed over him. He felt a presence in the room, an otherworldly aura that made his hair stand on end. Suddenly, a figure appeared before him, shrouded in mist and shimmering like a mirage.

I am the Spirit of Wisdom, the figure intoned, its voice echoing in the darkness. I have come to guide you on your journey and impart to you the knowledge of the ages.

Oyewo's eyes widened in wonder, his heart pounding in his chest. Could this be real? Was he truly in the presence of a spirit from another realm?

The Spirit of Wisdom nodded, as if reading Ade's thoughts. Yes, young one. I have been watching over you, for you are destined for great things. But first, you must learn to heed the advice of your father and tread carefully on the path ahead.

With that, the Spirit of Wisdom vanished into thin air, leaving Oyewo alone in his room, his mind buzzing with questions and possibilities. What did the spirit mean by destined for great things? And how was he supposed to heed his father's advice in the face of such uncertainty?

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Ade found himself embarking on a series of adventures that tested his courage, wisdom, and resolve. Along the way, he encountered strange creatures, treacherous landscapes, and mystical beings that defied all logic and reason.

Through it all, Oyewo remembered his father's words and held them close to his heart. He learned to trust his instincts, listen to his intuition, and embrace the unknown with an open mind and a brave heart.

And as he journeyed further and further from home, Ade realized that his father's advice was more than just words of wisdom – it was a guiding light that led him to his true destiny. For in the end, it was not knowing everything in life that mattered, but being willing to learn, grow, and evolve in the face of adversity.

And so, Chief Oladele Joseph's advice to his son echoed through the ages, a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who dared to dream and believe in the power of the unknown. And Oyewo, his heart full of gratitude and love, carried his father's legacy with him wherever he went, knowing that he was destined for greatness beyond his wildest imaginings.

OYEWO SETTLE DOWN MARRITALY.

Oyewo who was the son of a wise and respected elder in the village. Oyewo had always looked up to his father and had taken to heart all the advice and guidance his father had given him over the years.

As Oyewo grew older, he realized that he was ready to settle down and start a family of his own. He knew that finding the right partner was crucial, so he heeded his father's words of wisdom and waited for the perfect match to come into his life.

One day, while Oyewo was attending the university, he met a beautiful young woman named Monisola. She was kind, intelligent, and had a warm smile that instantly captured Oyewo's heart. He knew right away that she was the one he had been waiting for.

As they spent more time together, Oyewo and Monisola realized that they shared many common values and dreams for the future. They fell deeply in love and decided to get married, with the blessings of both their families.

On their wedding day, Oyewo's father gave him one final piece of advice - to always trust and support his wife, to be loyal and honest, and to never take her love for granted. Oyewo promised to keep these words close to his heart and to cherish Monisola for the rest of his days.

As the years passed, Oyewo and Monisola's love only grew stronger. They had two beautiful children, a son and a daughter, who brought even more joy and happiness into their lives. Oyewo's father had been right all along - following his advice had led to a happy and fulfilling marriage.

Oyewo and Monisola worked hard to provide for their family, but they also made sure to create special moments together. They would often go on long walks in the enchanted forest near their home, where they would sit by the shimmering lake and watch the magical creatures that lived there.

One day, while exploring the forest, Oyewo and Monisola stumbled upon a hidden path that led them to a mysterious clearing. In the center of the clearing stood a magnificent tree with golden leaves that shimmered in the sunlight.

As they approached the tree, a gentle voice spoke to them from its branch
