OUR BUSINESS

-


 

I was waiting for my corn to be roasted while I sat down and watched people waking along the road with different goals to achieve. 


I noticed women mostly and the passion behind their goals. 


She backs her baby :

There she comes backing her baby and walking as fast as she could, certainly to catch up with the evening meal and wait on her family, believe me nothing can stop such a woman. 


She carries load on her head:

 Here comes another, probably in her late forties with a load as heavy as a rock, walking briskly and sliding all huddles stopping her from getting to her finish line. 


She catwalks for show:

She is in her early twenties and all dressed up gorgeously for the nigth, ready to catch a bait with what she owns , the nigth is her labor time and as such, she wins here. 


She is walking side by side by her partner:

I am certain, she and her partner are working class individuals, who probably met at a place and they are walking home together, glued by his side, she needs all the rest she could find. 


She is driving her way home:

While I was still waiting for my corn to get cooked, I saw her hooting on a car in front of her, aww, if she could shout at him, she would surely do but she kept hooting persistently, exhausted she is from the day's job, home her destination. 


She is parking her wares:

Did I forget to tell you that my corn seller was busy parking her wares while she was roasting my corn, she was almost in a hurry to get home as the nights wasn't friendly to behold. 


She is dragging her kids along :

There comes this woman with three kids, one at her back, she held one and the other was running after them, so much in a hurry to catch up with time, defiantly, home was calling.


Oh, and I was in this category too, my corn was ready and I set out to reach my home, while I walked in the dark, one guy passed me and I still continued walking , the next second he came calling..


Guy.. Excuse me

Guy... Excuse me

Me... I Looked at him without talking to him

Guy... I saw you passed and wanted to have a word with you

Me.. I looked at him again, wondering what a spec he is(how can you stop someone you barely can see her face in the nigth)

Guy.. I really want to..

Me.. I instantly cut his words off, sorry I am not intrested

Guy.. I want to say that

Me.. Please, its late, have a good night

Guy.. Oh, okay, good night


While I pondered at the scenario, I walked as fast as I could and I signed at some people's stupidity.


Oh, we all have various business that triggers our movement but make sure its worth your time.

It's the right of a man to find the woman and it's the right of the woman to chose the man and that is why when a man finds a woman he asks for her hand in marriage and if she chose him amongst all others she can easily say yes having considering why he is different with the right values to stick to him for life.  To the woman : *Do you know this man.  *Is he someone you can submit to.  *What are the values that makes you stick to him.  *What are his visions and mission in life. . *Dose he have the capacity and sustainability to keep and take care of you and a family.  *Is he a man of integrity and a man of respect, who projects peace and can protect you.  *Does he submit to higher authority and godly authority. *Does he have mentors who supports his vision in life To the man: *Do you know this woman.  *Is she someone you can love.  *Does she project the image of your future.  *Is she someone you can be proud of to present any time.  *Is she submissive to your person.  *Do you

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can

DONT BE INTIMIDATED

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its
