It is Sunday. You live in Park View, Ikoyi; you have eleven(11) Rolls Royce. All you do is take one of these expensive automobile to church and back. While you are acquiring Rolls Royce, paid for by the poor Nigerian sweat and blood, Jonathan Starr, a former hedge fund manager took his own money and established Abaarso College of Science and Technology in Somalia. It is an American style boarding school. It is the only school in Somalia that has sent student abroad for higher education in 30 years. All of them on scholarship to Ivy league schools. He is there in a barren alley, giving hope to the hopeless. Helping Children in a country that is not his, all for free!
This morning, you will be driven in another Rolls Royce to church. It does not matter! You are living in pain and suffering, your life is meaningless! You are utterly and dejectedly poor! Others may envy you but I do not. While some are saving humanity, all you are fixated on is showing off your cars. By the way, the world’s ten richest men and women have no such luxury ensemble like yours. All of them have committed most of their worth to eradicating diseases, reducing poverty and promoting education around the world.
Not only have this people produced a product(s) or generated an idea that changed how we live, they have also earned every dime and given jobs to millions to feed their families. In your case and among your gaggle; you only stink up the world through government approved stealing. Go again this morning. Listen to the homily, say the Grace. It changes nothing because you do, what Jesus wouldn’t have done. You are poor in spirit and you stink up the world with oppression and ostentation. May you never reproduce your kind.
