I like the slogan of Nippon Express, “We Find the Way”. It should be everyone’s motto, too! No matter what life brings, we MUST make up our mind to always FIND THE WAY to go forward and upward.
I was discussing with a dear brother in church yesterday. He said, “Sir, Ten Million Naira isn’t that much money now, but, to put/gather that ten million or even one million together now, is a lot of work and effort. It seems as though all the money we’re earning now, we use it to buy fuel ni o!” There’s a lot of truth in what he said.
When I bought my car two years ago, with 15K to 18K, depending on where you bought from, I got my tank filled up. When the ‘All Promises Cancelled’ Tinubu announced on May 29th 2023, “Subsidy is gone!”, everything called ‘EASE’, physically speaking, seemed to have gone/evaporated with that ill-advised announcement.
Thank GOD that we walk/live by FAITH and not by sight. With that announcement, filling my tank rose to some 38K to 40K. Now, at 1,050, or more, per litre, I’ll be looking at close to 100K to fill up. That’s utterly ridiculous! In fact, I have not filled up my tank since the latest pump price increase. I just buy 15K, 20K or 25K, and move on. It’s easier for me to rationalize that way! ‘I can’t ki myself o!’
That’s me FINDING THE WAY to cope with the ‘fuel price madness’ in NIGERIA. Whatever the matter is, you too can find a WAY TO COPE, or even beat the odds against you. Nothing lasts forever! It’s TRUE that tough times don’t last but TOUGH PEOPLE DO! I’m absolutely persuaded that, if we faint not, we’ll see the wicked leave NIGERIA or put to open shame, and also witness the RIGHTEOUS lead our country, and we’ll yet eat of the Good of our BLESSED land, in JESUS MIGHTY NAME. There’s a WAY that leads to all Good Outcomes; you’ll find it in John 14:6.
Selah!
