So we are in 2015 and I wondered what is it with people that most are hurrying to be successful than others. Ist mans natural behavior to wish that all other people be not successful as you?and I wondered how many of those had reach their destinations like they plan for it in the first place. Haruna wanted to be a richman all his life,probably even if a government thief in a respected government agency. After he studied hard and graduated successfully with a first class,on his first day to report to work as a new employee in the one of the parastatals under the ministry of petroleum resources caught up with an accident and that was the last to all hed ever done. Halima chase away most young men who love her and wanted to marry her on the excuse that they are not rich and cant afford to buy her expensive wrappers,car,jewels and gold accessories or sponsor her for Hajj as her friends husband use to do. She somehow found a national representative who agreed to pay a million for her dowry and another 2million for dinner,launching and walimah for the marriage and also lots of gift and feeding of the guest. She got all she wanted in the marriage but about 5yrs into the marriage,her husband couldnt get elected back into the junior green chamber and loose his popularity to the other contestant in the opposition party. Exactly the time they begin to have problems cos her husband got other two wives with bunches of kids,their feeding alone is enough for the husband talkless of good schools,clothes,cars or jewellery to the wives or kids. Without clear thinking or regard to her kids,Halima became too troublesome to the husband and her other co-wives which resulted in her getting a permanent divorce. Now at 40s in her parents house with 3kids,she had to fend for herself and her old parents if her former husband didnt send some money for his kids wellfare. She tries to atleast convince one of those men she rejected before to marry her but one of them spelt it out correctly to her that she is a parasite now cos at 40,only an old man who never reproduce or a divorcee like her would marry her. Ist wrong to be defeated in life or why did people like to compete for something which is not even important. When inuwa stayed back in his town with patience and hardwork studying,Ali became stubborn and didnt lik even the classroom talkless of too much study. Ali went to so many places and succeded in friending so many people which some turn-out to be governors and big shorts in the civil service. Ali got contracts in so many places and thus became rich. His only misfortune is that he is not good in doing bussiness or tot if he would part with that too much money. After several years,inuwa was a happy man having reach the last level in the civil service with kids and a house of his own with a car atleast he will boast and brag that he acquired all those without stealing a kobo from the government or some other workers salaries. Ali was doing just good as most of his friends are dead now and with contracts not coming for the last 3yrs nor had he any qualification to be employed in any government agency by the favour of his connected friends. He had to visit some other people in abuja or lagos to be able to get what to feed his family. This journey of life could start and end in different lanes for everybody. Some would start their journeys in their mothers womb and end a second they come into this world. Some would reach 100 and above years,some 60,70,80,90 or 10,20,30,40 or 50. Nobody could outsmart or change his destiny or fate,so what is this noise about this being poor or rich?the rich man could furnish his toilet with mordern equipment and white with tiles,but he could never stay in it the moment he finishes that bussiness which took him there in the first place either to excreate shit or urinate like a poor man does in his pit latrine or semi-urban toilet. The rich man eats good foods and drinks bottle water but he urinate a yellowish urine and excreate a shit more odourly than that of a poor man who eats brabusko or tuwan laushi with miyan kuka. Happiness is something which you could get from inner satisfaction that you are alwright and contented with what you are or what you got presently. Just like Honesty is not something you could buy in a grocery store,you cant buy happiness but you will assume if you spend your money on some things which you thought may make you happy. I actually dont know if I reach this present destination I am as I plan or dream of,nor even know if I had an ambition for something or dream of,but alhamdulillah cos I got what I didnt expect. Alhamdulillah for not being a refugee in my own cauntry or face the difficult of situations. Alhamdulillah for this life which I wanted to extend my prayers to all those in IDP camps and those traped in insurgent control areas a peace,for without peace,you will never become a doctor,engineer,accountant,NNPC executive,lawyer or CBN staff like we use to say when we were in secondary schools without realising that some of us had to take paths choosen for us. Bon voyage in 2015 and I pray that chibok people smile a bit before they got into their graves
