BEING A BLACK MAN IN NIGERIA’s ECONOMY 🇳🇬 — Dough Onah ✌

You have no idea how hard it is BEING A BLACK MAN IN NIGERIA’s #ECONOMY 🇳🇬.

* The man who would go home tonight, empty-handed and would be shouted at by his wife for his failure to put food on the table...

* The man who would sleep only two hours today because he has to put smiles on the face of his daughter....

* The man who would attend all IN-LAW events and function with at least something to show that their daughter married a MAN ...

* The man who would take all the insults and curses from his boss because of his wife and children who are counting on him to keep his degrading job and keep them happy too...

* The man who deprived himself of all the GOOD and LUXURY of the world so that his wife and children can enjoy them all...

* The man who jumps jobs for he knows in Christ, he can do all things.

Respect the man who left his dreams so he can pay the bills of the home.

Respect the man who lies awake through the night, pondering ways to improve his situation.

Respect the advancing man, doing his best to be less of a burden to the society.

Respect the man on whose shoulders lies the onus of a nation.

R. - RESPECT THE MAN

E. - ENCOURAGE THE MAN

P. - PROTECT THE MAN.....

EDITS:

Not just once but all the time ...

Your fellow man in the refiners fire ...
