LINDA IKEJI... What's the noise of the house about? who e help?

.
Seriously, I didn't want to write anything on Linda Ikeji any longer. I've had some attacks from the previous article shared by some... but for the necessity of this message, I will.
.
This woman came to my office with a baby on her back and began to run her mouth... "Thank God say I meet you self... abeg I nor get anytin for house, my bab y food don finish I even by one on credit... my husband nor dey did town, e dey hussle for village... anytin you fit do to help me, na beg I dey... on Sunday you go fit gather the women for church make dem bring wrapper and cloths for me... na so e be.
.
Now the above is just a 'caricature' of what she really said. All the while she spoke, I said nothing... she kept on ranting... yes, RANTING!
Worst of all, I have NEVER seen this woman in my life.
.
I bought into her tales at noon day, and scratched everything I had on me then... N700. all in change. I gave her N600 and told her to return the following day.
.
Her reply was killing! "Thank you sir,. you know say I tell you say I buy my baby food on credit... I go use this money wey you give me tey pay for that one... the N100 wet dey your hand, bring am come ma use am for transport!
Haaaaa!!!!
.
For my money again... she was giving orders. I told her point blank... "You are an UNGRATEFUL woman". I'll stop here.
.
So what's the big deal about Linda getting a house of 800Million? Does it change the price of Garri in the Market... How many has she helped with her money? bla bla bla...
.
It is no different hearing those who criticise men of God who buy Private Jets... I'm still yet to know if these same people have seen it in their Bibles that "ye shall lend to nations and not borrow" Deut28.
.
Remember Mary Magdalen who wept at the feet of Christ and used her EXPENSIVE OIL from the Alabaster box to wash his feet... what was the reply from a disciple? "This is wastage! we can sell it and give the money to the Poor!". The answer of Jesus was Classic... "No matter how you help, the poor will still be among you!".
.
Friends, its high time you learnt to use your oil on yourself too... You worked for it, use it!
Many will hate you for enjoying your labour... Proud, Stingy etc would be some of those words. it is just the Psychology of the poor.
.
Those who criticize what is good never attain that level... Is a Private Jet really a luxury if I need comfort in flying? In truth, the more you become successful, your taste changes... not that it changes as such, but the part of you that love good things become activated.
.
That woman was a 'poor' woman needing my assistance... I gave, but the mentality of the poor to grab as much as possible while it lasts, was alive in her... giving her more will keep her there.
.
Help those you can, within your capacity... and NEVER feel guilty reaping your bountiful harvest. It doesn't have to change the price of Garri in the market, but it helps you afford what you want.
.
As it were, Life is Good!
Work hard and Enjoy it!
