We all saw trending stories of a very hard-working teenager (Mary Daniel) on social media and immediate calls for fund raising to better her plights. I don’t want to believe all our Igala elites were blindfolded from reading stories of her predicaments but as usual they all kept mute because for many of them it is not time to invest in hotel business.
From findings, Mary Daniel is from Egume, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi state. It was my kinsman, Amor Chelsea who spotted the abilities in her disability and posted it on social media and it attracted sympathy from all angles but none of our celebrated Igala elites showed concern.
Generosity doesn’t speak any language and love is beyond ethnicity; the man pictured here is of Igbo descent and he didn’t hesitate to gift Mary a whopping sum of 1 million naira.
We have so many Mary Daniel roaming the streets in a state of helplessness but it is a big shame when supposed Igala elites shy aware from responsibilities but are quick to starch their agbada during campaigns with trailer load of fallacious manifestos.
Few Igala elites are always on standby to assist the needy. The bulk of our kinsmen are only interested in the welfare of their immediate families with zero sense of human capital investment or philanthropic flair.
We are waiting for these class of shameless leaders and celebrated elites with zero level of futuristic impact to show their ugly head in the next gubernatorial election; it’s not going to be business as usual.
If you don’t have good antecedents, go and campaign in your family compound. Worst of it, some of these Abuja Hotel Investors cannot even win votes in their immediate family compound or polling units.
Congratulations Mary Daniel!
I admire your courage and diligence which pushed you to limelight…. this is just a stepping stone.
