THE LEAST BALANCE (A MUST READ)

  




Sometime this week  I was in bus in  town going to the market to get something. So there's  this bus I entered and I was just observing things. 

 Here is what happened. There was this man who was  already in the bus when I entered, in few minutes he got to his destination where he wants to alight. I was observing what was going to happen because normally we know that what causes problem between a passenger and a driver is just 50 naira 20 naira 10 naira balance that they wouldn't want to leave.

However,this driver of a person is just too gentle, honestly I have never seen this kind of gentle driver,  there are others like him but they are rare.

Basically, we all know how they normally behave. I'm not saying there are no good ones, they are many. I'm also not generalizing that all drivers are that aggressive ..., but there's this attitude that road drivers have, especially the ones into town service. 

Now the man brought out 1000 naira and gave it to the driver.. I do not know how much balance that the driver was supposed to give to him, but what I do know is that the driver was supposed to balance him 50 naira on top of that money. 

Meanwhile he already saw that this driver does not have 50 naira he has searched himself,  brought out all the money he has with him, there was no 50 naira the man gave the driver back the money and asked him  to complete his balance. The driver asked how? Look at the money I have with me, nothing like 50 naira. The man kept insisting to have his balance.

I was watching curious to know what will happen. so what the driver did was he returned the 1,000 naira back to the man and asked him to look for the  balance and then give him his own money and  take his balance, the man was just standing, still telling the driver please give me my change give me my change, the driver was like from where or do you want me keep these people here all because of 50 naira, "(according to him, i don't want to keep my passengers waiting because  of 50 naira)".  All he was saying were falling on deaf ears, the man was just standing there he was not ready to go and look for balance ,he was now expecting the driver to come down and then start moving about to look for balance in order to give him that particular 50 naira. 

I think the driver noticed that the man was in for trouble, he gently drove off to the man's greatest surprise. He wasn't expecting it. 

My question is how will he feel knowing fully well that he ate money that's not meant for him. Will his conscience be at rest?

Why the whole long story? 

Assume what would have happened if the driver didn't act that way, they may probably end up in a fight, and he will loose other passengers and his windscreen might end up shattering on the floor.

Let's always open our eyes to Identity trouble,  smell it and walk away. It might seem like we've lost, but we saved ourselves a bigger chance at life and better opportunities to explore life. Because in the end one person will do something that he will forever regret.

THE CHANGE WE CRAVE FOR

 How can you expect something that you cannot give? How do you continue to hope for something you don't even  know when  it will be and when it will come?  We are living in a planet ruled by higher authorities and backed by the law. We are living in a society  dominated by the few wealthy. Yes! we have authorities in charge of the economy and all that takes place in it as stipulated by law.  There are so many we do expect from the government in power. Yet, these are something that you as an individual cannot do for a neighbor in need.  The change states with with you..... Yes we want change, we want the economy to favour us all in every aspect, Yet you  forget that you as individual have a role to play as well. In as much as we want certain changes to be enforced to ease suffering and curtail the rate of  poverty in the country, we also have to let ourselves to be of service to mankind. How? by letting this change we crave for begin with us. ...

WHAT DO YOU CALL TREND?

 In simple terms, a trend is something many people are doing or following at a particular time.. One way or the other, each and every one of us have joined one trend or the other blindly.  This particular trend I want to talk about today is the habit of dropping wastes through a moving vehicle. Yes! Many people see it as nothing and normal. I understand we live in a country where we don't get punished by doing certain things the wrong way. Yet, in the end it comes with health issues that  backfires over time indirectly.  How do you feel each time you sit in a vehicle, probably going somewhere or traveling a distance and after buying all the assorted to eat and drink, you ended up flinging it out through the window in the middle of nowhere? Bros, sis, Come closer I want to whisper something to your ears.. it is wrong! Very very wrong. Stop it. And educate others about it as well. It wouldn't take you anything to either tie it and keep it in the vehicle or hold it and ...

The Proper Way to Wash Your Hair for Healthy and Beautiful Strands

 The Proper Way to Wash Your Hair for Healthy and Beautiful Strands Washing your hair may seem like a simple routine, but doing it the right way can make a big difference in maintaining healthy, strong, and shiny hair. Here’s a step-by-step guide to properly washing your hair: 1. Pre-Wash Preparation Brush Your Hair: Before getting into the shower, detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush. This helps reduce breakage and makes washing easier. Choose the Right Shampoo: Use a shampoo suited for your hair type (oily, dry, curly, color-treated, etc.). Avoid shampoos with harsh sulfates if you have dry or sensitive hair. Wet Hair Properly: Use lukewarm water to wet your hair thoroughly. Hot water can strip natural oils, while cold water may not cleanse effectively. 2. Shampooing the Right Way Use the Right Amount: A coin-sized amount is enough for short to medium-length hair, while longer or thicker hair may need more. Focus on the Scalp: Apply shampoo to your sc...
