FACT; My house was about to be locked, just because I was not able
to raise rent. I posted it on Facebook seeking for help, but all I
got
was 2likes and 0comments.
So I sent 120 messages to friends on my contact list,
requesting for a loan of N400,000. Sadly, only 10people
replied. 6 out of the 10 claimed they couldn't help. Only 1 out
of the 4 who said they could help actually gave me some
money but the rest only gave me excuses and never picked
my calls. Eventually, my house was locked. I had no where to
sleep. I walked in the dark, seeking options and suddenly, a
heavy storm carried me away and I died.
Fast forward
The next day, news quickly spread around that I had died.
2220 people posted on my wall how they knew me. How great
I was, how a good comedienne i was on Facebook. A
committee is formed by my "loyal" friends who quickly raised
N1,200,000 via donations, to feed guests at my funeral. My
colleagues at work teamed-up and brought another N300,000
for coffin, tents and chairs. I am buried in a coffin worth
N100,000.
My relatives who rarely met, met, for my send-off and
contributed an extra N150,000.
Everyone wants to volunteer in order to appear they are
helping out. The Youth also, printed T-shirts with my image,
each T-Shirt
costing N1,500. About 600 youths paid, so the T-shirt man
makes N150,000 profit from my death. Snapping shots and
tagging
tributes to my wall. Everyone wants to speak at my funeral.
There was drama all over from people who never knew how I
survived. There was rumour that I was murdered by my
friends.
Also people falsely accused my successful relatives of
sacrificing me. Wonderful speeches were made on how
talented I was even those who never attended my events. The
few friends who supported me in life didn't get the chance to
speak during my funeral although they knew the Truth. In fact,
they were the prime suspects in my death.
Don't show me love when I am gone. Show love to me while I
am alive, so that i can appreciate you...
Call me while i can pick your call not when I am gone and you
pretend by shedding crocodile tears when i don't even know
what is happening anymore in the world....
-Choose to be different:
Show love to the living.
Love your neighbour and be your brother's keeper.
