I am a very curious person.... I always asked why on the inside as a child without saying it out most times. CBN says there is no money and we are owing IMF and world bank..... I become annoyed and ask why cant we print more money and give them every dime taken? Are we lazy to print or are the money printing machines spoilt? teehee... Cars, aeroplanes, sky scrapers, electronic devices,,,,etc how were they built.....? Everything said had series of hours of re-think in my head. WHY, HOW so it was in my 3rd year or thereabout in UNN. Was bout going to 4th year when we had this brief strike at school. I had been curious bout how water was possibly processed and packaged in a sachet for sales.... HOW? Did they fold the sachet in a way to contain water, pour the water inside, seal with a strong adhesive and then cut? If that was the case, could that produce 5bags of water in a day? NO! Buh I heard a machine does this... How? Wouldnt the water spoil the machine? I have to find out for myself..... Vuuuuuum.... I decided that the strike would be spent in a table water company rather than in the house.. I went to one owned by a medical doctor from my town. I was introduced to the manager and started work instantly... From observing, I packed sachets of water into bags, next I was assigned to one machine as an operator,,, next, a machine for blowing the bottles for bottled water came in and I had access to it... My curiousity was duly satisfied. In the course of my stay came insults.... My co-workers sent me on senseless errands, gossipped bout whoever they wanted, to which I distanced myself. Any extra work which the manager assigned that wasnt within the context of their work was left to me because no one else would.... I could say no still buh I obliged.... And these co-workers were all Jambites, primary six leavers and the sorts.... I had felt tempted at some point to tell them that we aint same class and level. Buh no! I just decide to flow with the happenings.. Finally, I had to leave for school. I told madam manager that my time was up. She told the workers and they all blocked me up... you mean you are a University student and you were putting up with our excesses? I just smiled..... how could you be this humble? (they said ooo cos I didnt say so....whatever, at least I can pretend to be humble). you know what most people call humility aint humility, or rather false humility... When its with your oga, you sound as humble as ever (else you would be sacked or lose his favour) buh when its with someone under your command, you walk over like he is a carpet. When its with the military,,, you are humble as a dove because you know a slap from them can make you see your ancestors in a fastforward mode for 5mins buh when its with the usher in church, you shove him aside when he wants to get you properly seated. Humility goes beyond mere obeisance and genuflection. There is a tribe that believes you havent greeted yet until you prostrate before them.. Its nice, its awesome buh its a mere show off to me because I have seen people do all that buh deep down, they hold you in despicable disdain and could kill the person they are bowing for if the chance presents itself. Jesus was God yet he could have called on a single angel to wipe out all those soldiers, people and judges accusing him wrongly... Yet he keeps shut.... You are truly humble when its in your power to pull the strings, dictate your whims & caprices and call the shots as you like, yet you act like you are grossly incapacitated in the face of glaring circumstances just to serve mankind. That is humility!!!!
