Here it goes!!!
'Small Issues, Big Issues' by Oluwarantimi Osijo.
I have been thinking about what my whole life is meant to be. I know I'm different but how do you distinguish yourself in this nation where it's 'every man for himself' and the case of 'man know man'. It's so easy to blend in with the crowd and forget your dreams. Then I remember that I live not for myself but for my generation to come so I've got to make this world a better place in my own little way.
If i behave like things happening around ain't my business, then my children yet unborn will suffer for it.Its my prayer to be a blessing and I know its going to be realized soon. If we intend to turn this nation around, we need to focus on the little children because its only God that can change we adults oooh, we've become so set in our ways corrupted by the things around us.These kids still see this world with innocent eyes, their minds ain't biased yet. So i suggest we start by helping them because one day one day when ''poor man no find anthing chop na rich man him go chop''.
This reminds me of a little boy in my area who was adopted by an old couple after their two kids were done with school. This old couple's daughter is my friend and she tells me how the little boy is so brilliant, happy, very outspoken and tops his class.I know he is a miracle waiting to happen. He sees me coming back from work and jumps on me saying things like, 'i've been waiting for you' and i look at this boy and see how happy he is, and i'm infected with his joy.Imagine this little boy in the slums, growing up without any intervention ,no love, or care.He will surely put his brilliance to other use.
'what am I driving at gan'.... you dont have to be a millonaire to make a differnce. Start from that child in your neighborhood, give him a future, and with this initiative you dont even need to have them staying with you. Remember also, with every seed you sow, you will surely reap and you are creating a safer environment for your children.God loves a cheerful giver.
Thank you for taking out time to read my piece!!!
God Bless.
Brilliant piece Darling!! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be an awakening in this generation. Nigeria might have some hope after all .... Nice piece!!
ReplyDeleteExellente!!!!!!!!!!! I remember what John F Kennedy said sometime to the citizens of America.............. "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." With a spirit of commitment, consistency, love for one another and discipline i believe we can make this nation a paradise on earth and give hope to the upcoming generation whilst we sustain our posterity.
