I want to share a story and i hope we will all learn from it.

In a town, there was a big stone on the road. Cars passing by will have to slow down and carefully dodge it so they will be able to pass. The people of the town have been complaining that the king should come and do something about it. It is not as if the people in the town cannot get rid of the stone but they will that should be the work of the king.

For a while they king ignored them yet the people did not take away the stone from the road and were still calling on the king to come and remove the stone. The king asked them to remove the stone but they refused

So the king finally decided to remove the stone for them. He called his guards and everybody were assembled in the place where the stones. The whole community were present. The king asked his guards to remove the stone from the road. When they did, they say money under the stone. It was thousands of naira. The king actually hid it there and he planned to reward it to the person that felt it was his civic duties to remove the stone. But nobody thought it was right for them to remove the stone.

Since then the town became very clean and the people were no longer depending on the king to do some certain things they could do themselves.

My Point.

Please do not wait for the government to do everything for you. Most government dont know you exist. Stand up and fend for yourself.
