How do you sleep at night?
When you know you are in that position of jurisdiction that oversees lots of resources for the development of your community. Especially that grant given from the Federal coffers and the Aid from a Global body,to improve social facilities that have decayed under successive governments. Did you say "it is a piece of the national cake, therefore it is your turn to 'pad up you cheeks with it'?" Then your accounts will swell to a mind boggling state. Afterall you know what to say when asked about the funds...since your predecessors and counterparts had said same and got away with it. This act and many others wont stop you from going to your place(s) of devotion to lead the call for better leadership and for GOD to keep bringing such funds to your community...whilst you know what happened to the last of such... How do you sleep at night?
As you saw that young bright talent that had just been recruited into your office walked by...You know the lad/lass seem immensely blessed with skills and acumen that you simply dont have at this point. His/Her contributions if allowed to thrive will no doubt be one big celebrated success for the outfit...yet that jealosy is eating deep inside you...you have always wanted everything for yourself as far as you could rememeber...dated back to when every toy had or made by your peers ended up in your own gallery. An egocentric bully who dont back down even when the whole world says "the day is always brighter than the night" ...you are prepared to impose otherwise... So in your mind...you want the new recruit's position...afterall there should only be one hub of activities in the office where you work or any gathering where you are.Therefore, that hub should always be you. Hence everything had to be done to achieve that...but have you appraised your own blessings as against the new recruit's?... How do you sleep at night? Since Mrs X's hubby always gave her what she wanted...in a materialistic fashion devoid of common sense and you think your Hubby should be doing same. So you adopted Mrs X's guerilla confrontation tactics and made your hubby's life a nightmare. Even though within your innermost self..you knew what pricks u beneath always tells you "no, dont"...but the allure of maintaining standards or surpassing it amongst your group is just too much...therefore you hassle the poor man's life that he wished his hellish work were home. You are also prepared to encourage him to get a loan...not to pay the school fees of the kids or invest in business;but to buy that new car for you...while other important needs suffers. Your manner even sucks more...when your inlaws come around...your hubby's mum is your rival and you cant stand her...whilst your own mum and family have 'state service' in the house. You thought if he couldn't give you what you wanted you would hook up with somebody else... so like a leech with a mandate; you continue to suck him dry... How do you sleep at night? While of reverence in the community as a clergy man, you have turned deceit into a tool to attract people to your domain. You know that the socio-economic situations of nowadays is the chief driver of people who seek an answer to their joblessness and lack of progress in life. With the problems more of a political malaise than spiritual; you over exploit them to your own advantage. You feed fat of them in fake miracles and salvation...forgeting the Overall DEITY whose name you are using in these deceits is patiently waiting.It hurts more when you even label innocent children as the cause of these problems. As the most vulnerable in the society they are the easiest targets. 18 months old babies run temperature like adults do but just cant say where the pains are in them...especially in our climatic condition that allows such pains go unabated. So they are not witches or wizards as you prophesized them to be... How do you sleep at night? You intimidate and beat up everyone around you in your abode...including your wife sadly; A lady of virtue that loves you so much and is always at your beck and call.A home manager, with manners second to none...that you met in a bright and boisterous state...your actions has turned her into a wreck...the kids even scamper away when they hear the sound of a car approaching in temporal situations similar to yours...Frustrations of work or other things of your incapabilities and shortcomings should be heaped on her door step. She was the one who wanted the kids...therefore you are not responsible for the 4 them huh?...You come home drunk and always prefer hanging out with the blokes...You expose your family to insecurity by driving in a state of stupor...just because you are not man enough...to accept that it is allowed to fail in life and your actions are your own responsibilities...
