Fatal Flaw
Social Media Influencer: to say that I'm proud of Little Success is an understatement. I cannot possibly measure the level of elation I feel to know that kids like these are out there. This is a call on all Nigerians to support her course and ensure that she gets the best education there is. For this, I will donate the sum of 20k to her.
Please share this until it gets to her/her parents/relatives. She deserves all the help she can get... Blah blah blah...

Meanwhile, your sister (who happens to be a single mother) has not been able to pay her son's tuition fees for some days and you've never asked why Junior hasn't been going to school. Perhaps you enjoy sending the poor child on errands as big Sis/big Bros. Your househelp does not have good clothes to wear but you've got a heap of clothes you'll never use again. Street kids litter the area looking malnourished but you chase them off your apartment with koboko and well fed dogs so they won't get too close to stain the paint on your walls...
You don't talk to nor do you associate with guys in your hood because they (in your thinking) are broke bro(s) and hoes. You've ceased communicating your grandparents, aunts and uncles simply because you've been busy making money without them.
Yeah! the name 'self-made' looks good on your expensive newly imported jersey. So every other person who isn't driving Benz should hide their faces.
Despite the obvious needs of those within your immediate reach (no matter how small same needs are) you feign ignorance and act as if thunder will trek all the way from Ngbagbu-owa conjured by your village people in Ezeagu to strike all your safe deposit boxes into invisible dust bits to be blown irretrievably over the Mediterranean if you dare lend a helping hand.
...So in your comfort, you hide affront the screens of assorted mobile devices to reel out posts that portray you as the best of peoples and begin to practice the most dastardly acts of Afghanistanism. You wire 'wires' to the 'azas' of those you may never get to meet in real life, you upload evidence of monies sent and demand testimonies from same people on facebook, twitter, IG and so on just so the likes and comments will pour in like torrents. Mr. Viral Social Media Philanthropist, I together with my Etsako people say "Mho!". ..
...But to people you live amongst and see everyday, "Area hard na. Sheybi as una vote for Buhari na e things hard but una say Na Buhari una still want. So hanty find how you go take send Junior go back school. Make all of una wey vote APC no dey rag me again if una no want make accident kee una for my matter...suffer no dey taya you!" you say.
Y'all should stop using Success' story to score cheap points. It's a disrespect to the kid who did not just do what she did for her very own self (though she may not have seen it that way). Think about it. At Six or Seven she has brought about change in her school_ a school, not her own mouth/belly. What change have you brought to better the lot of people around you?
I'm not asking you not to pamper yourself with your own money. I'll not encourage you to give same away in charity (or whatever guise) but let me warn you Mr/Mrs. SMI before coming to this cyber spectrum to 'popori' in the name of Little Success and her likes who live very far away from you, look around you.
If you like talk say the matter no concern me but as e pain me wey I never fit do something, I just remember say Dante Alighieri say 'the hottest part of hell will be reserved for those who in times of moral crisis choose to be neutral"'. So ayaff talk my talk and you must hear your hear.
But before I leave you digest this,
👇
'a man once was said to have died and on the reception of this information, in the area where he lived, the youths brought in a DJ, the women made food, the men drank their fill and the children were merry'
Again,
Weytin concern me?
PS: no one (animal or human) was killed in the making of this write-up. Any resemblance between the characters in this work and anyone (dead or alive) is entirely a miracle.
