HOW A MAN CHASED ME OUT OF HIS SITE FOR SAYING THE TRUTH

I have no idea how wicked people wanna be before this world gets better but no matter what it is,  I believe there is a always a way out.

There was this particular man we were working with at a construction site and on a particular day,  we had to pour concrete. He gave us measurement and we started. One thing about the man is that he is not honest. He does not disclose how much he wants to pay for a job until the job is done! On a normal,  when somebody comes to your site for work,  what happens is that after negotiation and the price is agreed upon,  work starts but this man does not see it that way because he believed that it was okay enslaving people because there is unemployment everywhere.


So, what he does is that when somebody must have done a job,  he just gives the person anything that comes into his mind. Even peanuts! 


Ladies and gentlemen, I don't blame the man, I blame the high rate of unemployment that is in Nigeria. So,  he sees it as an opportunity to enslave people since it is widely believed that even the so-called graduates are roaming about in the streets.


I left the site because he flogged me with a stick three times,  you can imagine. Even my own biological father had not done that! Meanwhile,  I was carrying a bucket of sand on my head. 


I looked at him and I said,  "If only he was a young man (as I am),  I would have given it to him hot hot." But in a bid to avoid violence,  I let it be! He was an elderly man. So,  I shouted at him and I told him that he was a wicked man (a Pharaoh for that matter). So,  I left.


Meanwhile,  I am not begging for a job. I am just putting myself in the shoes of others to know what they go through when they go out there into the streets hustling. It's not worth it and at this juncture,  decision has to be taken. 


This is a man who was supposed to be preventing violence in his site but he was busy promoting it. An elderly man for that matter! 


I had to go because he didn't want to hear the truth (which I told him). He was wicked and I couldn't be under Pharaoh! 


No sane Israelite should have an Egyptian taskmaster. If you know,  you know. Funny enough,  his foreman interrupted me while I was shouting at the man and I was angry because if he wasn't an elderly man,  I would have beaten him! 


In all,  I believe human beings are somehow and that the man is wicked! 


Do not toe the path of slave masters.

AT LEAST, TRY.

 There are several things you can draw up as bunches of inexhaustible reasons and they can easily pass as excuses to avoid doing work but the heart of a wise person abhors them because time shall tell.  What we do today matter because they form the junk of what we will face tomorrow either as punishments or rewards. When people help you,  do not hesitate to show appreciation. The world is a small place,  you can run into those people you think you should hate but give up on the idea and develop a loving heart! The reason is because having a hurtful soul hurts the bearer.  No matter what happens,  do not cry over everything. Put aside self-pity and work for survival and when it's time,  expand. On a daily basis,  express yourself, try to capture a picture of who you are and have a neutral disposition to things you do not understand instead of opposing them!  Some old ideas can be new to some people! Accept them but do not fail to check for the...

LIFE AND ASSUMPTIONS

 No one knows what exactly what happens within the confines of the dreaded Barmuda Triangle but a lot of assumptions have been made,  scientifically, psychologically and otherwise and that is how life is. A lot of assumptions have been made yet there are no truths in some of them! You might have thought that lives all end here on earth!  You might have thought that God does not exist and  You might have thought that lazy people are happy depending on your experiences,  you might have made different assumptions. For the benefit of doubt,  do not rush into conclusions yet. Allow people to air their views before you judge them, allow people to face trials before you jail them and allow people to read before they understand!  We all know that life is not easy but that's not the only truth to be held onto. Life can be sumptuous too after all,  all fingers are not equal. Find out the truth for yourself and do not depend on hearsays!  Like the trian...

WHO HAS TIME?

 A lot of times,  people think they can cover up for their inefficiencies by just telling stories that people refer to as cock and bull stories but what I don't know is how many people that have time for such stories. Let us face it! Results are accurate when the processes are carried out in a prescribed order devoid of assumptions,  lack of knowledge and over sympathising with some factors. What has to be done has to be done else the land remains undeveloped. Life calls for actions not excuses. When a patient in the emergency unit of the hospital requires attention and nobody gives to him or her,  it becomes a problem, when a person has come of age but has nothing to show for,  it becomes a problem and when God calls us and we refuse to answer due to deafness of the spirit, it becomes a problem. Awake and do what you should do! Begging may not help you at all times. If you have studied and gotten a result,  it's fine but when your certificates cannot give ...
