As you all know the nature of the work I did last week, it was government work and we were to serve the people which we did correctly. We went to the place that has been chosen for us to work and we went there to immunise them of measles, covid and OPV and all.

We were told initially at the training programme that we will be paid 15k ( $30 ) and we were all happy to do the work. So we started on a Monday morning and to our surprise, they gave every individual #300 (a few cents ) for food money. I was like wow, is this the amount they told them to pay us? I kept quiet to myself and they paid the same amount on Tuesday too and I assumed it was the amount they told them to give us every day for food.

So Wednesday happens to be the day supervisors will be around invigilating our works from street to street. Could you believe that our food money was paid very early that morning and it was twice the usual money that they have been paying since Monday, that's, they paid us #600 ( $1+). We were all surprised and I am like so they have been cheating on us since Monday? We were told the invigilators are coming so we should cooperate and also tell them it was that amount they have been paying us if we were asked. I laughed within me and I shook my head.

They continued to pay that amount (#600 ) till on Friday. They didn't pay us on Saturday but we were told to come on Sunday for mob up and that's when they will pay us for the Friday food money. They did that because a lot of people won't show up on Sunday so they withhold the money with them. So we went on Sunday morning for the mob up but we closed very early than the usual days where we close by 1 pm. We closed by 10 am because of people that will go to church like me and after we were done, we were paid #600 and told that some certain people will receive the money for the work done on Monday by 1 pm in a place mentioned to us.

I got there and to my surprise, they first of all mentioned #6000 ($12) to us and we were like, is this the amount you all promised us in the first place, why are you all like this? It didn't even ring a bell in their hear at all. Could you believe they still remove #600 ( a few cents ) for transport? There was no transport available to convey us to the location we were asked to work ooo, yet they deduct allowance for that. And in a nutshell, they paid us #5400 ( $10+ ) and everyone murmured while leaving that place.

What I am trying to say;

It's fine if we conclude that our government are bad and are not treating us well but the question goes to everyone, are you also a good person? If you reach that government position, will you also treat people well?

We only blame the government while we are the problem ourselves. The money those in charge of the whole programme gave those people is far much than they gave to us. They have squandered the money in their pocket and left the remnant for us to share. That's how wicked humans can be, they will pay them for their won work and yet they still took from others. They were just in their office sitting down while we all went out to the street in the rain and hot sun to do our work.

So many things people in power are doing to the less privileged, they cheat on them with their money, right and values and yet they will be the ones to bad mouth the government. They are also the bad eggs in the environment that needs to be removed and dealt with. The problem we have in the country is not 100% from the government, most of them come from the people they are ruling. They inflate market prices even when the government has not done that, they arrest the innocent even when the government has not sent them, they kidnap and kill people when the government has not sent them, they cheat on the people when the government has not sent them.

The change we all need in the country begins with us, we need to change from our wicked ways and begin to help the people, we shouldn't wait for the government to provide us with everything. Change today and let's move the country forward to a better state.

I appreciate your time in reading this, God bless us all.

Bye for now🥰🥰🥰.
