THE COST OF IGNORANCE





"If you think to get knowledge is expensive, try ignorance."


Anita, 11, is the joy of her parents and her sibling. She's loved by many people she had made contact with. She has a kind and loving heart, always eager to be of help to people. Last week Monday, the civic education teacher in her school taught her class the basics of crossing the road instructing them  to adhere to the principle. Today, she missed the school bus and so she had to walk to school, about 15 minutes. She gets on the road, remembers what she was taught on crossing roads:

You will agree with me that one of the most used words in all of history is the word, "Love". Love is the feeling of great fondness or enthusiasm for a person or thing.

A mother, just delivered of her baby, showers it on the new world comer; siblings show it to each other; parents express it to their children; people, for the sake of the word, can do anything to make friends happy; some people show it to other people just for goodness sake; and also, lover boys sing enchanting songs to their lover girls, and vice versa, to shows how mad-in-love they are.

And so I went to the Fidelity Bank branch in my area to make an enquiry, a simple one. I got to the bank, went straight to the customer care section and as I opened my mouth to say the reason for my visit, one of the two agents (female) asked me to sit and wait for my turn. She would have given a simple answer to my question if I had asked, and then I leave the bank, I thought; but in other to be courteous, I sat.
