There lived a married couple who were so happy until they had a quarrel one night. But fortunately for the man, someone had
promised him a job opportunity the next morning and will therefore have to wake up very early the next morning to see the
one before he left for his current workplace.
Because he thought the quarrel was brought about by his wife and therefore could not talk to her and knew that he was
a deep sleeper and found it very difficult to wake up early, he took a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down these words
"Please wake me up at 5:0'clock in the morning so that I won't miss my job opportunity." The wife found this note
on her side of the bed, she took it read it and dropped it under her pillow when she was about to sleep.
It happened that she woke up some few minutes before 5:O'clock in the morning. She took the piece of paper and turned
it over and wrote, "It is 5:O'clock so wake up" and carefully placed it beside the man.
This man finally woke up later in the morning to find this note laying beside him and this is how he lost his job opportunity.
Who do you think is to be blamed? Is it the man or his wife?
Kwame is the first son of five siblings born to his parents. His father abandoned the family when they were still very
young and moved in with another woman. He refused to bear any responsibility towards the family. After over 25 years of total
neglect, the father just passed away and the funeral activities were over the last weekend.
At the memorial service, Kwame was to read the last tribute. He declared the prepared script and delivered a tribute exactly
as he knew his father, full of specific example of his late fathers irresponsibility and acts of neglect of the family. Kwame's
act caused an uproar among the mourner's. He finished his delivery by saying that this should serve as a lesson to all fathers.
Some people have praised Kwame's action as an act of courage and principle while others are condemning him saying that
you don't talk evil of the dead especially your late father in public and if he knew he could not read the prepared tribute,
he should have excused himself.
