My office……


I really must pray that none of the people involve ever get to read this piece and should they by chance come across this they had better read it in good faith as there is really nothing I can do about it at that point then to say this is the only medium through which I can express myself without a shadow of doubt***** (wink how I like that saying)
I work for one indigenous company, hmmm we started off from a small literally small scale.  virtually from  nothing and today barely three to four years we can confidently compete with the Julius Berger of our field,oh how fresh the memories of those days are to me when we all sat together in a common room sharing the same utility……on one occasion we had a case of stooling between two workers and they kept rushing into the restroom in turn(hilarious),any way this was how it was but we persistently held on to our goal believing that one day we would break even and break even we did.
Oh how wonderful was our breaking even, from the acquisition of our corporate piece of land location to the actual erection of the structure we enthusiastically went through the process then the dawn came….
Now we had this wonderful edifice as office with countless room and some privatized rest rooms(rest rooms where you can confidently take a meal or lie on the floor as I had countless time done)****we then had another task to fill up the edifice with more hands so we started the recruitment  scheme and employ we did……..all sorts of persons applied, were recommended and brought to us to employ and we took them with their diversities and how I sat and watched them come and go with various issues or the other….some either said the jobs given to them were too hectic, the working hours were too long, some actual wanted to see if they would have avenue to make extra money outside from their salaries, some could not stand being reprimanded other said the salary was too low and all through this I was just watching……then I realized that the group of people that were there at that time when we all gathered together in the common room using one utility…..boy they stood alongside me never once groaning or complaining and each time I always wondered why they also stood still and watched people come and go …..Until I asked and one of them said those other people do not know where we are coming from so they cannot know where we are going to cause they lack the vision…..

  1. Good write up. It is definitely hard to cope with the present when one has no vision.

    1. How the vision changed my dear and later lost it course and I was also unable to understand the vision so I left in pursuit of my vision
