Femi was young man in his early thirties, he is currently running his Post graduate programme in prestigious private university in town no doubt he was fair to look upon with big brain.

“Good morning sir ” The Female cafeteria attendant(Bimbo)in the university responded courteously.

“Good morning” He responded with a bon face

“Place your order” She emphasized.

“Please is Bunmi in? the other female attendant” He replied with contempt.

“No sir, she has stopped work here”

“Oh I see, what’s your qualifications cos I can’t allow a low degree person serve me food I believe by now the cafeteria director should have at least told you” Femi bragged in his tone.

Bimbo a smart, young lady she was also running her PhD programme in a Federal university her aunt owns the cafe due to laçk of staff her aunt had implored her to help out at the cafe that weekend.

“I be primary school leaver oga (I am)” she switched to Pidgin trying to see the drama the Femi guy was going to perform she had always heard about him.

“Bloody shit, Can you call out your manager before hell let loose here I can’t imagine a low life serving me with all my level of academc/ ceremonial award”. Femi blurted out in rage.

What’s happening here the manager came downstairs swiftly.

The whole scenario was narrated to him.
The manager smiled, I know a day like this would eventually come ” How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war.. ” I think for this scenario that verse of the scripture should go like this “How are the proud disgraced and their back brought down low”.

At this juncture the manager’s phone rang it was the Director she was viewing all the dramatic display from the CCTV in her office.

“Manager, what’s happening downstairs?” Mrs. Horlick queried.

“It’s the PhD man ma, he is speaking rashly to miss Bimbo because she said she’s a school leaver you know his problem with qualifications I doubt if the man is mentally fine” The manager said few metres away to the scene.

In a jiffy the director came downstairs..

“Mr. man what exactly is the color of your problem sir? why so pained on this issue of qualification who cares about who serves food at the cafeteria if not an insane person like, are you even sane? All this while you come with annoying questions to my staff and I try as much as possible to keep you coded but since you can’t take or surpress your pride I will help you do that without torture.”Mrs. Horlick sounded in rage.

Femi stood still with arms akimbo trying to see what the verdict of Bimbo would look like ..

“The young lady is my own biological sister, Mr man she is also running her PhD programme and if not, does that give you the audacity to mentally silence my staff with academic qualification?. Henceforth, I seek your indulgence that you stop patronising us. It appears we have given you too wide chances that you nag at every slightest moment losing you as a customer isn’t going to cost this cafe any loss. I will say this so everyone can hear the reason why we lack staff is because of your personal law code please leave so I can employ young people that needs to put food on their table” Mrs. Horlick concluded.

Mrs. Horlick hurried up the stairs it’s been decades she spoke rashly to anyone she was an introvert a highly rated phelgmatic..

“Professor Femi, please take your leave” Bimbo whispered.

Writer’s corner

Pride indeed goes before a fall, whatsoever position we find ourselves in life we should never see it as our legal right but as a privilege which is to be maximized carefully.
No one has it all that which you have is someone else’s prayer point and vice versa.

Let’s look into what God’s word state about pride “When pride comes, then comes disgrace” Proverbs 11:2

Music minister, Teachers , political leaders etc check your pride level with the pridometer app before disgrace sets in.

We receive grace not to be disgraced…..

If you are blessed kindly like, comment&share ….

Blessed art thou
