Humans of Lagos Episode 18

I didn't intend to cheat, I wanted to be faithful with my sales; but if I don't, who will? 
The Millennial are seekers of vain glory, they only place value on money not quality. 

It is very okay by them to by expensive clothes even when the cost of production is very low.


I am a trader by profession, I'm not dishonest but I lie to maximize profit; for blessed is he or she that is wise. 
These youths won't patronize made in Nigeria products, they want to wear the imported materials like clothes and shoes even when they have never been to the airport! 
They believe that the more costly a product is, the more quality it will be. 

They keep spending the more to impress others.


I get low grade clothes and shoes imported from the overseas, I get low quality products from even Vietnam. 
All I do is re-packaging, re-branding and aggressive marketing.

My store is a big one.
I may not be able to speak impeccable English language just as most of the ignorant young customers would say, but I know how to make money.

I don't think I'm a sinner, am just a player in the bigger game of fraud.

And if I don't, others will.

    The World wants deceit.. If you are brutally honest you might have peace, but you likely will die wretched.

The Clocked People

Two worlds collide: the realm of moral absolutes and the domain of worldly pragmatism. We're taught to uphold the sacred tenets of righteousness, yet the whispers of innovation and progress beckon from the shadows of societal values. There are the '12 o'clock' purists, bred to prioritize virtue above all else. Their unwavering commitment to morality often renders them aloof, isolated from the pulsating rhythm of the world. On the opposite end, the '6:30' free spirits dance to the beat of unbridled social liberty, morality cast aside like a forgotten relic. But what of those who dwell at the zenith of balance, the '6 o'clock' harmonizers? They walk the tightrope between righteousness and pragmatism, intuitively sensing when to yield to virtue and when to indulge in life's sweet temptations. In this delicate plain, balance is key. The art of knowing when to be good and when to be bad – not for the sake of rebellion, but for the beauty of harmony. F...

Things Will Happen

 Each dawn, I rise, driven by the fire within, Taught that idle hands reap only barren wind. I strive for excellence, my heart's relentless quest, Yet, like a pin dropped in the ocean's vast unrest. Results fade, like ripples on the waves above, "Not my day," I whisper, solace in self-love. My stomach growls, hunger's persistent call, My heart echoes, yearning for success's thrall. But today, a glimmer, rays of light ascend, My toil, soon crowned with triumph's sweet end. I'm alive! We rise, we fall, yet still we stand, Now, I ascend, my spirit, unbroken hand. For every drought, a harvest awaits, Every night, a dawn that breaks. There are decades where nothing happens, And there are weeks where decades happen. © FERT, 2024

Don't Die...

Don't die, Change form. Amidst the rubble, Where once stood strong foundations, Now lie the remnants of what was. Shackles bind tight, The weight of struggles heavy, And the fire's fierce rampage, Threatens to consume all. Yet, in this crucible of chaos, I live. From the depths of darkness, The beauty of light begins to emerge. A delicate glow, Growing brighter, Illuminating the path ahead. I rise, Stronger with each passing moment, As resilient as the break of day, And as unwavering as the constant sunshine. The trials do not define my end, But mark the beginning of my transformation. Through the storms and the strife, Through the trials that test my spirit, I find my strength, I find my truth. I don't merely survive, I transcend. I evolve. In every ending, a new beginning unfolds. In every fall, the seeds of rise are sown. I am not defeated, I am reborn, Renewed, Reformed, And ever forward, I evolve. © FERT, 2024
