HELP INCOMING?

  Have you ever been at a crossroad? Have you ever reached out to people around you for help and no one looked your way?

Well my post is for you.

  Femi had a dream, a passion burning within him. He wanted to pursue this dream. Everyone tried to discourage him. They said he was stupid that it would never work. He’s nobody, he’s not even a celebrity, so who would buy into his dream. Femi reached out to his friends and family members, some promised to help. He waited on them but help never came. He called and called, went to their offices, houses but they only gave him words. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into a year.

Michael is handsome, brilliant and was voted the most likely to succeed in his high school. He is thirty now and stuck in the same dead beat job he got after he passed out of the NYSC programme.
