By o'dare Adenuga.  On  a  sofa  he  laid,  looking  deserted  and  confused  because  he  is  a  graduate,  with no job, no money and mama is saying “go out there, get a wife and give me a grand child”. All these ruled in his brain until he became as light as wool been tossed  around  the  moon,  the  Jupiter  and  stars  in  the  firmament  where  it  seems to  think  less,  worry  less,  care  less  about  materials  and  treasures. Suddenly they appeared to him in multitude making introductions and accosting him  so  that  he  can  pick  one  of  them  because  he  can  only  choose  one  at  a  time. one of them says “i am it that gives children, choose me and you will have them in abundant like sands of the sea”; another one says “ I am good health, choose  me  and  you  will  have  long  life” ;  another  one  says “i  am  wealth,  when you  choose  me,  you  have  every  materials  to  be  call  man  in  that  world” They all continued in their introductions and persuasions one after the other till it got to one which is calm and very gentle in a mild voice saying  I am patience, a  good  friend  to  everyone  of  them,  they  all  can  do  without  me,  pick  me  and  they will come finding me.
