His legs.......

I just got into the cab, on my way to the office, and i my usual self I was closing a deal on the phone ( talking to my boss) anyway.......
We were stuck in holdup and somehow, someway i looked down........i saw that the driver of the cab was paralyzed on one leg and if he wanted to change gears, he would quickly carry that leg from of the break, while the good one was clutching down and then drop it on the accelerator while changing the gears. In all this i thought to myself, if this guy with his incapability is not slowing down, why should I? Besides my legs  are good and i still at times sit at home and give excuses sometimes not to go to work. Tears, almost came to my eyes (No!....I'm a man) i composed myself but from that time till now, a lot has gone through my mind..........Despite his issues the man still hustles to make money and to feed his family, He didn't use his weakness as an excuse not to work and lastly that Nigerians truly are one of the most hardworking people on Planet Earth........(Well apart from Solange, who beat Jay-Z in an elevator, shii.....that girl has claws and heels of steel....oh back to the Nige...oh sorry). So, well we are happy, despite our issues as a country we still smile, we have a corrupt government, yet we still work. So my take?......Nigeria is AWESOME!!!!
