Nigerian stand-up comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akporobomerere simply called Ali Baba shared a quote via his Instagram account and captioned it with some inspirational words:
"The key words here are "IF GOD ALLOWED"… Because, if he allowed you to lose it, then he would definitely have made a better replacement. But what if God did not want you to lose it, he did all he could, but you used your own hand to throw it away? Replacement KO, displacement NI! For instance, God gave you a good job, you started going to work late, betrayed trust, added no value, behave like you are the employer, not employee… then you lose it, and start praying God will give you something better. Problem with us is we do not take the blame for what we should have done or didn't do!
"Another example, God gave you a talent, you manage release one 6 track album and backed it with 3 good videos. But instead of go to work and continue to work on the next album release, you are living it up, then you lose your market share. Now you wan begin catch winch! Manager no good, event planners wicked, press hate you, you need better producer, too many quacks in the business, piracy, this government bad, Ay no put you for him AY LIVE ON APRIL 2, you blame it on the igbo, fans are not loyal, WIZKID no do collabo, you have no godfather, OAPS want too much money…. BLAH blah blah!… God did not allow you to lose it.
"You used your own hand do yourself. You had a good man, who left every other option and chose you. He worked hard. He was your all and all, he sheltered, fed, clothed, Alaweeed you, took care of your behind closed door needs, made you shine, yet you will tell people that you were the one doing everything… Then when he had had enough and left you, you are now hoping God will bring a better replacement… Ibe LO ma kusi… Alai m'ore oshi! (translation: you are the weakest link, bye bye).
"Or you were with this woman who is the best thing (person) you ever had, you beat her, disrespect her, you don't empower her, you don't show her love, you treat her like trash, and yet, she takes all that in her stride. Then one day she leaves. If you mention God name, na Amadioha go punish you on behalf of God! BOTTOMLINE, let's evaluate where we are, what we have and who we are, so we don't jump from a place of peace to pieces! And begin to think its world people!!"
