You dey hide things; only you no fit do convoy!

We fight

We struggle

We quickly shut the doors when we hear another's footsteps under the guise of

          'If him see where I dey butter my                     bread e fit tif am'

So many doors of opportunities have been sat on 'just because'

So many privileges denied 'just because'

This brings to mind Mr A who called hubby out of the blue for an interview in his office with a little less than two days notice

Hubby had tried severally to reach Mr A for this job opportunity but he'd always been evasive citing one excuse or the other until hubby chose to forget it

After the interview hubby found out the truth about Mr A's call

All the while, he'd Intentionally chosen not to give hubby the chance knowing he was very qualified for the job and in his words

           'With the Qualification you have in                less than 6 months if we get you                    employed here, you'd be chosen                      above my present boss and possibly              sent abroad'

So he chose to shut hubby out

Meanwhile other people in his office were employing their friends and families into the system and somehow he woke up to find that his place in the company was threatened and too late, he had no ally so he chose to reach out to try to get hubby in. Unfortunately for him in trying to hide the opportunity from hubby he gave way for others to come in and even his seat was taken

We shout that the world is unfair but when we are given the power, we do worst

-Why should I just sign her papers like that? Do you know how I suffered in my time before they signed for me?

-Small boy like this will get this contract? For what na?

-See the small girl, she never even marry. With this kind money and she dey drive this kind car? Abeg she can't work in this office 

-Ordinary 31yrs and they won make her director? Because of what? Hide her file, thrash her promotion form. Where is she even running to?

We are just bitter, envious, tearing down each other like crabs.

We all have memories of these set of people

-The ones who held our hands and helped us go up or challenged us to be the best of ourselves  or

-Those who fought us every inch of the way

How would you want to be remembered?

Who do you think will be better off tomorrow?

We cannot always be up there. Someday, at some point, we'd also be needing somebody's help and we pray they show up!

Today, choose to intentionally do good.
