Akoko Nsure! – Adewale Sobowale

I’m confessing to getting used to a pastime. It’s sitting by a coffee in a cafe and watching the goings on early in the morning.

You see, many cafes have picture windows here. It’s not as if I’m unemployed. I purposely changed my duty hours to night shift so that I’ll have time for some other things.

And by Jove, I’m enjoying it!

Going out in the night and coming back in the morning has revealed all those things an eight to five person might never know. Anyway, that’s a story for some other time.

Story? What I’m learning is enough to write a book!

If you could wake with the morning, you’ll see the futility of human struggles.

For instance, I get to see pupils going to school every morning. It doesn’t concern them whether it rains or shines.

While some go straight to school, some branch in one or two places to have have some fun.

I observe the adults too. Some have to be in the offices to prepare the place. Does it interest you that getting to work early doesn’t mean you’re the best paid.

In fact, the fat cats are usually late to office!

That’s life.

One thing that’s of peculiar interest to me is the fact that most children receive a somewhat similar education. But then, life and personal behavior soon begin to sift the men from the boys.

It’s a wheat and chaff analogy!

The boys of today obviously become the men of tomorrow. It’s now left to the youth to chart their ways to success.

If they don’t, they’ll first disappoint themselves before doing so to the society.

A bird chirped into my ears that success is sweet!

Time waits for no one!
