Hello readers a friend told me this story a long time ago.i'm sharing it with you today incase you get into a situation like this in the near future.
There was this very rich Ibo man in Nnewi
who had only
one daughter. When the daughter was of marriage age, the father sent news
around town that all the eligible young men should come out on a particular
day to compete in a test which would determine who was fit to marry his
daughter.
On that set day, all the able-bodied young men came
out. Some came with paper and biro and others with cutlasses and swords.
The rich man took them to his swimming pool and addressed the men: "any of
you who can swim from one end of this swimming pool to the other would marry
my daughter. In addition, I'll give him 15 million naira, a car and a house
so they can start of life well. I shall be waiting to meet my son-in-law at
the other side. Good luck!"
As the young men, all very excited at the prospect of
winning, started taking off their shirts, a helicopter came over the pool
and dropped snakes and crocodiles into the pool.
Immediately all the men turned back and started
wearing their shirts again. Disappointed, some of them said "make de man go
marry im pikin jo!".
All of a sudden, they heard a splash in the pool.
Everybody watched in amazement as one gentleman struggled his way across,
avoiding the snakes and
crocodiles. Finally, he made it to the other side as
the would-be in-law, panting.
The rich man, could not believe it. He asked the man
to name anything he wanted. The man was still panting uncontrollably.
Finally, he got himself together and made his request saying, "...show me
de pesin wey push me inside di swimming pool"
You don't know what you are capable of doing , until you are pushed.!!
God will give us the strength to survive this terrible push we witness !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
