Finders are always keepers and talkers are always beggars!

Just read this.

A Lebanese family enjoys a night out on the town. Lagos is host to a large, affluent Lebanese community. Only in Nigeria are the nationals second class citizens... we clean their shit at home and abroad.

I am asking myself did or would i put myself in that position to be a servant or should i put myself to serve? There were slaves that kings were afraid to let go of and made them generals. Did he think like a slave or did he serve? You can only be made inferior if you give the consent. If you tell yourself you are nothing, then you will be wiping other peoples ass because you thought less of yourself.

I am yet to understand the mentality where a job defines you. There was a moment in my life at the age of 21 when i lost my paying employment due to redundancy ie the contract of the company i worked for came to completion and they had to reduce their staff base and i was one of the junior staff they let go. The company over the years grew arrogant and did nothing to establish a continuum and they had to shut down all over the country. This was a seemingly huge construction company and they are still huge in Europe. They became arrogant and they now ceased to exist.

For 9 months i couldn't find a job but the dream i held as an 18year old kept me afloat. I did for a moment fall depressed because i was wondering if i was ever going to find a job that kept me independent until i realised it didnt matter what i did to keep going, it was how i did it that would keep me growing.

Why would someone work for someone for 5 years and still come out with no skill or knowledge, what were you doing there? We want to blame expatriates? Na wa o, you wouldn't ask yourself why your own big men in government replaced you with them or you think that they should show you the way when for 5 years you had been near them? In a world of 2 eyed men the one eyed man is king. Where was your focus? Did you trade it into an attitude? I haven't met a white or another coloured person who would serve someone and leave without something.

Let me ask you "if Osas played badly in the premier league do you think his club wouldn't sell him off to a cheeper club or worse off let out as a free player"? Every national of a country complains that foreigners are coming to take their jobs, well do you feel that because you are at home you wouldn't need to clean your compound? You think because they said you were born in Nigeria that you are automatically a Nigerian? Ooopsi daisys a citizen is who ploys the land, he has what he has sown to expect to rip, of course your politicians will pacify you for your votes but with the same words you so emptily spread.

Finders are always keepers and talkers are always beggars.
