My dad's farm

I am not a farmer neither is my father a farmer but I couldn't think of a better topic to give this article than the one written above. Well, to some extent, it goes along with what I am about to explain. Get a popcorn and a drink to follow me on this journey to my dad's farm;

There's this saying that "you never can tell how big the farm of the other people's dads are until you reach there but you assume your father own to be the biggest". You will always think your dad's farm is the biggest in the whole of the community until you get to meet other people's farms and you will realize your dad's own is very small compared to theirs. What am I trying to bring up here?

I was going through @Tomi-Ajax WhatsApp status and I saw a series of compilated videos of a particular village in India. The people there were really suffering, they could hardly see good water to drink. Their government failed to provide them with good water for seventy good years (70). The government only try to supply one to two tankers of water into a dug hole like a well per day to the people. And when the water gets to the dugged well, it becomes very dirty with mud and becomes unclean for them to drink. There's no way they can be fetching the water directly from the tankers because of the crowd that needs the water immediately. While the water is being poured into the well, they still struggle to get water cos they are just too plenty to get water and sometimes, some falls inside the well and get injured.

The person being interviewed said she pity the old women that didn't have children with them mostly because they find it very hard to get water. You need to see the numbers of people that will surround the well trying to get water, they are just too much, overcrowded. It's that dirty water they will drink and as a result, many of their children are on sick beds fighting for their lives cos of cholera.

They said they have been promised by their government to find a solution to that for the past 70 years but they never keep to their promises. And that's where my point will come in, remember I said we never can know how big other people's dad's farms are until you get there and see that yours is very small compared to theirs. To every Nigerian out there including I will conclude that Nigeria is the worst country ever, this and that blah blah blah but do we know many countries are more worst than we do? This part of India just proves that to us now, imagine, a whole of 70 years and there haven't been solutions to the water system in that area from the different governments in power.

I will like to tell us that it's not just your country that's worst, other countries are more worst than yours, so be grateful for yours. The same thing applies to the problems we face in life, we think we are the ones passing through the hardest battle, have you gone out to the street and hear what others are passing through. Yours is small compared to theirs, you will even put aside yours and cry for them to show how bad theirs is.

I will wrap it up by saying this, be grateful for wherever situation that you find yourself in cos others are facing something greater than yours. Don't be an ingrate, I almost cried for those people in that village cos I could see that suffering in their eyes. The young ones couldn't even smile not to talk of being happy, I pray God will lay it in the heart of their government to provide them with what they need.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate your time in doing that.

Bye for now 😍😍😍.

True fact bro, sometimes I do come across some news about terrible situations in different countries and I quickly make up my mind that naija is far better than this.

Even within this country Nigeria, there are some places that if you hear about their terrible situations, your heart ache at once... meanwhile we've Concluded that the ones we've seen as the worst. Such is life

This is what I try to tell our people especially the youths, Nigeria is far better than most countries in the world, and even in some of the well known countries in the world, most county sides regions are worse than what we have in Nigeria. Indeed, not until visit another person farm you will always assume your father's farm is bigger.

Bad and corrupt leadership. For the past 70 years and there is no solution to providing good and clean water source for it's citizens. This is too bad. I feel so sad for that country. I am still thankful for my own country no matter what's going on.

It's pitiful what happened to India. The importance of choosing a true leader and standing for our rights is evident. I am hoping and praying that India's issues will be fixed soonest.
