[Si
li ma forg nay moi dega tay worr moy, fi ku nay halis mba tarr amut
solor, denga nyaw, yorror, mba matleh wor; nanj len bayi nahateh bi]
I mean: whosoever says money and beauty are of no meaning; you’re either broke or unsightly …no bones about that; SEEN!
Those
days of barter and heartfelt ‘offerings’ are long gone; in this day and
age stuffs cost money, be they spiritual, health, academic, social, or
whatever obligations; if you want any of these stuffs and I am sure
everyone does, you will have to have that financial luxury to pay for
them. We; or maybe I’ll say ‘I’ only settle for substitutes when I am
bled dry.
If you like, keep a hold of your notion that money
cannot buy happiness, for me, it makes me the happiest, the confidence
and satisfaction it brings about, only Allah can tell. When I have my
‘bank in my pocket’, like I had last week, it feels like I am on cloud
nine; [lor johonj ma dorg; y yalna nyu yallah mai terranga y]
As for beauty, Ralph Waldo sums it all up; he said "Love of beauty
is taste," and I believe. I may not know what sort of beauty he meant,
but me….
I am talking about that secretary that the CEO can’t
leave behind when he sets off to a meeting at the corporate boardroom; I
am talking about that one that’ll not cause offense even if she walks
in front of the TV when your favourite game is on. I am talking about
the type whose attraction can cause you a fatal distraction, even if
you’re to catch sight of her in a speeding traffic. I am talking about
the type whose corporation you patronize not for their wonderful
service, but for the wonders in the service provider
