                            The Persian

By; Dibosa P.C. Marcel

And so i said to the rich man
There goes a begger outside your house
He walks on the coarse floor with bare feet
And on his back, nothing but an old rug to shelter him from the cold
And so the rich man replied
This reminds me i must get a Persian rugs
For my persian floors
And the next day we happened upon a family of five in a run down shack
And i said to the rich man
The nights must be cold for this family, the roof is sturdy, but there are holes in the walls of their home
And the rich man replied
This reminds me, i must get some Persian fur for my Persian walls, for my nights grow cold and my walls are wide
And on the third day while i dined with him, i saw people starving in the streets and i spoke to him
There is food in this massive castle, enough to feed these people, perhaps they can be allowed passage into your garden, so they may eat and starve no more,
And once again the rich man replied
This reminds me, i must get some persian locks for my Persian gates

MY NYSC STORY I have realized that NYSC was no scam for me. The experience was awesome and I was able to achieve so much. I built capacity, and got ready for the outside world. My name is Victor Agu, a former Kwara corper (2018 batch C1) and I have the following experiences to share. As I write, quick memories of how I admired serving as a kid continue to flood my mind. However, I’m both happy and grateful to God that I lived out my childhood admirations. OK, let’s go on a journey: As a very near first class Economics graduate{4.40/5.00} from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state; I left school heavily wounded and dented, as I got kicked out of a first class in only my last semester on campus. The why and how is a story for another day. But then, I also left school back to Lagos with much zest, fire, a reason to live out my dreams and to stay at the top of my game. I quickly applied around, attended a couple of interviews and worked a little on arriving Lagos.
