It was a cozy day and the weather Not really amusing, but in a way that everything was perfect, Solomon, who was just seen as the regular in Society being in tangled in different situations and the thought of life weighing heavy on him. Just leaving his teenage days, in this current society is one thing you have to consider because it's clearly close against the laws of childhood.
He was the first one amongst five children and could literally be the best in his current education, but wasn't neither did he fall behind but also he wasn't best at his courses.
Him and his parents could I arguably not say they are wealthy,but not poor in any way,they didn't lack any necessities, nor did he ever go to school and was chased home for not paying fees him and all of his siblings were properly cared for, he lived together with his parents and his siblings, each of them went to school and some currently are still in school, but unfortunately yes him leaving his teenage ages simply means he is in a higher institution and in this institution he meets a whole lot of people through his teenage days he has been through a lot been through depression been through heartbreak been through trauma and a lot of peer pressure.
Beard somewhere in Nigeria, Cinnamon can be seen going through his secondary life in his teenage ages, where the heist of becoming a man begins he is new to this I really doesn't know how to cope, but in a country like Nigeria, Perhaps you are not born with a golden spoon in your mouth you'll face the consequences if you're not hard-working, Realizing this as an earlier age, he began to walk towards becoming a better person. He tried a lot of treats and saw that he was better at carpentry. He started of leaning carpentry every day while being entangled in normal day to day activities.
One Wednesday morning he set up for work as usual and left home headed towards his work place, which is just a few miles away. He goes to work on foot and sometimes he takes the bus or a motorcycle.
Overwhelmingly he decides on this morning to go earlier than usual which is 8am for the usual time,getting there he met a drunk man and out of curiosity asked why this man was there this early sitting by the walk way and drinking?,Of course he begins to narrate how life and a lot of responsibilities tie him down,him drinking is as like escorting his thoughts and current dispositions out of his mind,Out of curiosity,Solomon then asks him,why he doesn't just gets a job,explaining to him that he's a student but still comes to learn capentry, The Drunk man said in his words, 'What an old man sees while sitting down even if the young stands up,he can't see it'. Going further he explained to him about the current state of the Nigerian economy at that time in the year 2018,as the country was tagged as a developing nation. The country was in a hassle and the strive for daily living was competitive,only the rich and those with power and connections have the best life to live. Solomon hearing this turned to learn from what the man had to say and then said if he worked harder he would be successful all he had to do was to study hard,the drunk man was laughing and then he sighed at the end of his laugh and said `Young man listen to me,I'm a graduate,second class upper in Computer science of the university of Agriculture in Makurdi,Benue state. And I have served the nation by going for a one year program in another state,which is mandatory by the country,but yet I'm this way even with my CV and my result,I can barely afford food to eat,my family and I are suffering all because of the economy,only if I learnt a skill like you are doing now,it should have been easier,I'm an orphan,any money I make,I give to my family,I'm glad I can ride a motorcycle if not?,what would have become of me,I just sit here every morning to drink and forget the hassles of life,but life goes on,this is the first time you see me here,because you came earlier than usual today,I'm not a fool nor I'm I insane,but your country is not helping matters at all,you think I like this current situation?, I have no choice boy,I don't,I'm of high intellect,but you wouldn't believe me if you did judge me from afar. He ended his conversation as he stood up to leave, and said 'You're lucky to have heard this,It's not by who works hard the most,life is so unfair,You have a nice day boy'.
Hearing all he said, Solomon then said to him,Have a nice day sir. While he was cleaning the shop for the work of the day,he began to recall the words of the Man who was drinking and began to realize that it was harsh reality and the more he thought about it the better he understood the words came from a learned person.
As the day goes on,work transactions goes through through thick and thins of the hustle,but Solomon's thoughts are obliged to the words of the man from earlier and the real to escape it begins to come effortlessly, and he asked his boss Gabby to tell him how life was being unfair to the man from earlier after narrating the experience he got earlier in the day, then Gabby begins to pour out his thoughts mixed with anger in his tone, Life is harder than just that, when you become independent you might understand what I'm saying,then starting a family in the current situation,that's why in life we must strive, Our leaders are not helping in making the country a profitable place,rather they care for what they stand to gain from the country's economic system and that's why you must not take any skill for granted, because even the education you boast of,it might be useless if you don't have the necessary connections to get you up there,and making your way there seems impossible because of the corrupt system and Government, So try as hard as possible to fight back. Moving on, Solomon's burning zeal ignited and spread like wildfire and decided to add another skill of photography to what he's learning.
