This is getting over laboured. It is a good thing though. Now, everybody wants to become a bread seller to bag some wins. Though the dollar palava affected the price of bread, it is only partly. The high demand for bread is the major factor responsible for the big rise in price of bread in current times. Fathers and mothers "I won't let my children suffer what I suffered," are chasing their children now to begin hocking bread on the streets because of Olajumoke Orisaguna so that T Y Bello would notice them.
T Y Bello is not duplicitous. I think there is only one. This thing doesn't happen frequently, probably once in ten or even twenty years. But why? Is T Y the richest Nigeria? Only a very few will remember to ask this. This has to do with surprise. We are often surprised especially when wat is unusual appears on newspapers, television or heard on the radio. Why, CNN has even interviewed Olajumoke.
But what is unusual? This is just one person, one winner. What about the many, who is talking about them - many celebrities that are turning bread sellers in this country?
This is true, in this country, the riches of some people are touching the heaven. But they are opposite of T Y Bello, even crippling celebrities and turning them bread sellers to put it mildly. Unlike Bello who has turned Olujumoke to a god, these ones take advantage of the vulnerability of the lowly and stretch them to shreds until they have no further use for them.
The news media for what they are, there has not been a single story with them highlighting Bello's virtuous message to our society of mesm. One Olajumoke is graphically too small and is being blown out of proportion. Bello should be emulated for generosity and selflessness.
And to you Olajumoke Orisaguna for what you make hard work to be, true, at any rate, there is dignity in labour.
