It was a sunny
day in the month of may , the sun
took its rightful position very early, lending credence to general feelings that
ubong’s birthday ceremony was going to
be greeted with the blessing of pleasant climate. The sky looks so bright that
ubong insisted on having
an open air party. The habitual
doubting thomase had no dissenting opinions to express. Ubong had gone
to a great length to ensure a hitch free party . A party which would
remain a talk of the town. Although it was not intended to be free
for all, a lot had been done
to stamp the occasion on the memories
of many people
long afterwards
The bright sun
continue to smile. ubong’s face beamed
with pleasure with every passing
moment. Very few of his
contemporaries have so succeeded
in reaching the top of the ladder.
in particular had been an orphan
of storm. His father’s died during his third year in the secondary school and that of his mother two years later were only two of this orphan’s storm . he
suffered physical misfortune when a
stock fish machine severed his right finger. But ubong’s did not despair
The coverage
to fail is very cheap. Every fool can
afford to fail but its raises one above
the herd of coward and never do well to
be up and struggling the reward of forbearance in the end is resounding success
and so its was for ubong. Ever
since he finished his tertiary
institution, it had been success galore . he had got a good job in one of the
country’s insurance companies . his pay
was good his promotion had been steady and his prospect seems bright. At
forty he had a good car and had already bought a house of his own. The world was at his
feet!
