A lot of times its best we mind our businesses, put our mouths where they’re meant to stay. I read somewhere about a man in Indonesia that killed his neighbor for pestering him on when he’s getting married.
According to some of the witnesses, the young man was sitting in front of his house jejely when his pregnant neighbour, came to talk to him, this is exactly what kizz Daniel was talking about in ‘No Do’ “Trouble dey sleep, Yanga go wake am”
“The suspect revealed that the woman said, ‘Faster get married, the others are already married, why aren’t you getting married yet?’ These words offended the suspect,” a spokesperson from the police force said.
It is heartbreaking how people do things that provoke evil, dear parents, dear aunties and uncles of the family, dear family members, dear friends and neighbors, getting married is not our ultimate goal in life, we can choose to get married at whatever time we want. 30, 40, 50 if we’re not ready, we’re not ready. There are a lot of rushed marriages crashing because they just wanted to ‘get married’ they dint plan on ‘staying married’. To be clear, I’m not in support of murder, but we have to note that too much pressure can cause a break that we most times can’t repair.
The society needs to let things happen in their own time. My time is not your time and your time is not my time. The corn in the same pot under the same circumstance don’t all pop at the same time, how much more humans with a lot of dynamics. We have a long way to go with all the pressure and the earlier we work on them the better. Ire oo 🍻
