"You people like fighting for your right to be useless, because you are actually useless."
Not a single lie. As far as I am concerned, if you have to visit someone, you should go with value and be willing to help out in one way or another.
I can't control adults who visit me but when a child, young or old expresses interest to come and stay for a while, I let them know immediately that my house isn't a 5 star hotel. Chores will be done. I believe it's a way to teach them a few things.
My children also know to be at their best behaviour to let people know their mother tried in their upbringing. They cannot afford to bring shame to themselves and their parents.
You're either useful to someone or useless. There is no grey area.
I fit enter your house morning make I enter kitchen for afternoon.
Years back, I went to my friend's house in Glasgow for a few days. When I arrived the wife was at work. We were gisting and vibing and I asked him when madam was coming back, he said 7pm. I told him let's enter kitchen let me cook so she can rest when she comes back. We just continued our gist in the kitchen. Everybody was happy.
When I visit my close friend in Sheffield, after eating I wash the plates and clean up the kitchen. First time I did it, the wife was shocked and she told my friend what I did. That one burst laugh and said "you no know Wisdom na why. You see that kitchen, if him no clean am, him mind no go calm down." Everytime, I visited, she still got surprised that I did that until she got used to it. She was happy as it was big relief.
When I to my guy's house in Abuja, that one Monday do anything, so he doesn't allow me do anything. I want to clean, he says cleaner is here to do it. I want to cook, he has ordered food already. So when we go out, I paid for stuff. When I was leaving his house finally, I sent him money I would have spent in a hotel and he was very happy.
In UNIBEN, I went to my guy's house and that one no get food. "Food no dey? Make we enter market." Na me be guest but I went with him to market, supported the market runs and we cooked together.
It is getting too long , but I'll stop here. You people just like fighting for your right to be useless because the truth is that, you are actually useless.
