It was a very Sunny Monday afternoon, the heat of the sun was indeed very hot. At the popular Ede Market, both buyers and traders were seen using different means to cushion the effect of the scorching sun. Some took of their shirts, some were pouring cold water on their heads, and some were fanning themselves with locally made hand fans.
As I drive down the road leading from the market, I saw an old woman, with a basket, containing foodstuffs she probably bought from the market, standing beside the road. She was looking tired and exhausted. I drove very close to her and alighted from the car in front of her. Then I walked to her, greeted her and asked, "how can I be of help to you ma"? To cut the long story short, I learnt she has been standing there for over an hour. Cars refused to stop, as it was not a bus stop, afraid of being arrested by traffic control officers. Also, no one was willing to give her a helping hand to the nearest bus stop which is just about fifteen minutes walk from were she was standing.
Just as I was about to lift her basket into my car, two traffic control officers came, as my stopping there was a traffic violation, an offense. I listened to them patiently as they explained to me the offense I have committed and the penalty. Then I asked, do you both have mothers? Are your mothers still alive? Which is more important to you at this point in time, obeying the traffic regulations or giving a little help to this old woman.
I could have just passed like others, but, the quilt of leaving an old woman to suffer, when I could have actually helped her, would continue to hurt me. She could have as well been my mother.
If you were one of the offers, what would you do after listening to me?
