“He didn’t dress well to the alumni/school reunion, nobody cared to ask him WHY….
He couldn’t pay the annual dues, nobody cares to know WHY…
He keeps saying he lacks airtime to call, hence he could’ve checked on friends, but nobody cares to ask about his welfare & financial situation that makes him slack so much…
Everybody kept minding their business until the news broke out that their former brilliant classmate suddenly slumped and died of hypertension due to depression…
Mates contributed 10million for a befitting burial of a fellow who didn’t live a befitting life…. could they have spent that much to lift him out of depression that eventually sent him 6 feet below?
Please don’t say after all he/she didn’t ask me, some people were not raised that way. they’re just too shy to beg, not pride but the way they were brought up and the fact that everyone else is going through one issue or the other …
Don’t wait till your friend begs you for money, send the little you can afford into his/her account….
That credit alert will be a very big relief to the receiver & you never can tell the danger you’ve innocently averted from your friend by the little gesture you extended to him unexpectedly…”
A lot of people are going through hard times, give foodstuff, give money, help them connect with people who can change their story for good.
A lot of your classmates do not have jobs, please if you can connect them to people who can help them with job opportunities or even if you can give them jobs, please do so. There is no harm in reaching out to people.
A lot of your childhood friends and classmates are dying in silence due to economic hardship, some as a result of sickness, please reach out to them, your little assistance can go a long way
Check your community for people who need that bowl of garri/rice, reach out to the poor and less privileged around you – you may be surprised that looking good is no longer a yardstick for recognizing those in need of help.
One can still look good and still be poor – they are just recycling the good clothes and even make-up they had already bought some years ago or they are simply blessed with good looks.
Poverty is really eating deep into the fabric of our co-existence, please whatever good position providence has bequeathed you, please it’s not because of you alone but for the people around you.
Do not hesitate to be a blessing to someone around you today.
Put a smile on someone’s face today.
That a person is all smiles doesn’t mean they do not have challenges!
Depression is real!
God bless you all
