Whose Fault?
Adaobi, born and bred in the Northern part of Gambia was arrested on the grounds of robbery, extortion and physical assault. She pleaded "not guilty" at the court of law which came as a surprise to a lot of people present because tangible evidence which was enough to convict her had been presented.
The judge, in his curiosity, asked what her reason was for pleading not guilty. Adaobi replied that she had been led to these vices because of certain academic issues, family and societal problems.
Was Adaobi right to think that way?
Is society really responsible for birthing some of these problems?
What role did her family play in all of these?
Could Adaobi have tried succeeding in another way?
Whose fault was it exactly?
Dear reader,
Adaobi was a victim just like you and I could be. However, the society, her academic environment or her family does not owe her anything just like they do not owe you and I anything too!
Before you continue reading this post, I'd really love it if you can get rid of "the entitlement mentality" that has your heart as its breeding ground.
What to do when life hits hard
1.Having enough dedication and patience to what you do is enough to make you successful - So successful that you can impact your generation for good.
2.Remove the pressure around you and live by the footprints you have planned for yourself and trust God enough to help you! Stop relying solely on man - Now, do not go the extreme where you think you need no man but at the same time, do not be quick to always turn to man for assistance.
3.Let it be a part of you that environmental conditions do not need to change for you to be legally successful. The government, your family, your friends, your school policies do not need to undergo a revamp before you will prosper.
Dare to be the dark horse among people you associate with.
In Conclusion, Adaobi had absolutely no excuse to become the hoodlum she was. My mantra so far, which I can lend you(lol😄) has been - NO EXCUSES.
ABSOLUTELY, NO EXCUSES!!!
