Years ago, you were known for wearing counterfeit items all over. Today, you got cosmetic work done on yourself, a fake hip, a fake backside, a fake teeth. Your entire life has been built on inauthenticity, yet you come out to put pressure on young people.😤
A boy returned ₦80,000 I had accidentally dropped, but what he said when I offered him a reward made me question how I had been living.
I was leaving a supermarket last evening when a young boy, about twelve, ran after me.
“Uncle! Uncle! You dropped something!”
He held out my wallet.
I checked it immediately. The ₦80,000 was still inside.
Relieved, I brought out ₦5,000 and offered it to him.
“Take this. You deserve it.”
He shook his head. “My mother said I shouldn’t take what doesn’t belong to me.”
I smiled and asked where his mother was.
He pointed to a woman selling roasted corn beside the road.
