From the Facebook Desk of the Ordinary President, Ahmed Isa:
Three years ago on my way to Kaduna, I saw a brother of mine beside his parked car along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
I quickly pulled over to see what the problem was. As he was narrating what was wrong with the new car he recently bought, we saw another Krubete car driving at 45km/hr drove past us.
My brother turned and ask me why his car can’t travel long distance journeys when cars like that Krubete do it on a daily. YOUR CAR NA ABUJA CAR. E NO DEY USED TO STRESS. THAT KRUBETE DON DEY TRAVEL BEFORE THEM BORN YOU. I replied and he banged the bonnet of the car as he laughed at my dry jokes.
We laughed some more as the mechanic who was working on the car brought it to live. We all entered our cars and left but I pondered on how a mechanical object like a car can be trained to be used to discomfort.
The truth is; we can train ourselves to be used to discomfort. Especially when we are chasing our dreams. MY DREAM IS TO HELP PEOPLE GET JUSTICE. I deliberately allowed uncountable discomforts just to be able to HELP PEOPLE.
And when it became a bit difficult to fight for the rights of Nigerians and other nationals on other radio stations, I sacrificed some more to build Human Rights Radio and Television in Abuja and Kaduna.
But that’s not the point. The point is;
you need to experience some discomfort to bring your dreams to live. Especially
if dem no born you with silver spoon like me.
Una Hembelembe!
