I just settled in my seat (window seat) on an aero flight when this Oyinbo lady lady walked in and sat on the aisle seat. There was just a seat in between us. She was on a call and only smiled at me to greet me and continued with her conversation. Shortly later, an Alhaji walked in neat white kaftan and a blue cap. He was to take the seat in between myself and the Oyinbo. I made some observations about my two seat mates.
The Oyinbo.
Fluent, well-versed and free...yeah! That's the word, she was FREE with her conversation on the phone. SELF CONFIDENCE.
The Alhaji
You see the Alhaji, he isn't well read, semi-literate but he was kinda rich, carefree and confident too. He was just chewing whatever it was he had in his mouth 'carefreely'.
You can see the assessment of both. They were both FREE (even though one had "care" before his own free) but it takes confidence to even be carefree in your illiteracy. Both knew their SELF worth and were confident in it.
Observing our nature in Nigeria (South west especially), we lack confidence and that may be because we do not know our SELF WORTH or lack a worth.
You will see many youths easily rubbished and cannot stand their ground for what they worth. Build your worth and be worthy this Corona period.
