STORY TIME

This is a real life story of a man who ended up in shame because of human being.

I am writing this story to you not just to entertain you but i also want you to read and carefully pick your lessons from it because it will help you in this journey of life that you are in!!!

This is the story of Ben, his landlord sent him and his family packing because he could not renew his house rent.

He then applied for a loan from the manager of the company he was working for, but the loan was not approved.

He contacted the influential man in his community, but could not find help, he then called his relatives on the phone , but no one helped him.

He went to Facebook and posted, seeking for help, but the only thing he got was: 2likes and 0 comments.

He became frustrated and sent 120 messages to friends on his contact list, asking them for support of N100,000. Unfortunately, only 10 people responded to the message. Six out of the 10 said they had nothing to give. Only one out of 4 people gave him N20,000, but the rest kept apologizing and eventually stopped picking his calls.

The landlord locked the house!

His family were thrown out and left at the front door of the house with their belongings.

He became more frustrated!

He went everywhere in search of help but could not find one until nightfall.

As he made more effort in the dark, looking for solution, a truck ran over him and killed him instantly.

The next day, news of his death spread everywhere.

His Facebook friends made 2220 posts on his wall, mourning his death and expressing their admiration for him.

The landlord immediately ran to open the door for his family to go in to receive mourners.

The influential man who earlier refused to help him, took some food items and groceries to the family to cook for the mourners.

Preparations for his burial began later and his friends, who formed a committee raised N1,200,000 through donations to feed sympathizers that will be coming from different places.

His co-workers also raised N300,000 to collect booths, chairs and other items.

Where Is Our Humanity?

It is so obvious that humans do not listen to their fellow human in time of trouble, many of them will think you are not serious, that you are joking, while some will know that you are serious but just can't help at that moment.

But here is the lesson for you, sometimes the person you are going to meet for help might also be going through one or two things in his or her life at that moment and might not be able to help you out of your own trouble and that does not mean that the person is bad or the person do not care, is just that the person cant help at that moment.

But this is what i want you to know, always dig your well before the day of thirst will come so you will have enough to drink.

Always know that there will always be time for trouble in a mans life and only those who prepare for it will be able to survive it, but if you do not prepare for it then the trouble might destroy you just like Ben.

Do it yourself do not try to depend on someone for anything because they are able to fail you in a big way.

The only good friend you have is yourself, know that you can not fail yourself, so do everything to be strong on your own,

remember the story of Ben, so read this story and learn your lessons!!!
