Life has not been easy a lot of ups and downs have popped up in one way or the other and for the lower-class Nigerian citizen it’s not a funny ride thing are worst now compared to what they used to be when most of us where born.
There are somethings that will happen to you, and you will say I must make it in life, or I can never be poor in this life, poverty is a bad thing the worst thing that can happen to a man honestly speaking.
My mom will always tell us about her childhood and how she suffered with her parents how she struggled to go to school by her self-picking palm fruits from peoples farm just to be able to sell them to get palm kernel to sell in the market to get books and uniform for herself, and then after primary school she has to continue to fend for herself to get through secondary school and she started another line of business she started selling okirika (thrift wears) she sold mostly bedsheets and baby clothes to see her self through secondary school it was indeed a struggle.
Before the world war occurred that kind of turned things around and left everyone starting at square one, from her experience it is relatable to say that a lot of damages was been unleashed then at the mom said she vowed that (she must make it in life ) and a lot of people where really set back .
Mom met her soul mate then and he was also trying to get his back on his feet, and she helped him, and they worked together to recover what the war stole from them, and he encouraged and supported her most of the time and they built something beautiful.
Looking down from my mom’s experience and her struggle to climb the ladder to the top I always say to myself that I must make it in this life I can never be a failure my mom inspires me everyday to keep pushing and believe that things will only get better.
All my thanks go out to hive Najia for the weekly prompt it brought back memories to me, and I encourage everyone to keep pushing and never give up we must all make it in our various lives.
