Integrity: Inextinguishable asset

By EMMANUEL MATHEW

Three good friends were raised in a certain village. They were enjoying their friendship until Emeka's father started mounting pressure on him to leave his comfort zone like his mates to bring fortune to the family. The incessant disturbance of his father coerced him to leave the village for the city. After a year, he returned with a car and lots of gifts for his parents. They did not bother to enquire about the source of his wealth. Emeka's quick success inspired Nnamdi and birthed his zeal to leave the village. Nnamdi's case was peculiar because his ambition was to travel out of Nigeria. He embarked on a four-month journey to Libya with the anticipation that he would cross over to Italy from there. His parents sold their landed properties and gave him all their savings.
Obi also decided to tread that same path by leaving the village with his wealthy friend to the city. On getting to the city, he met the greatest astonishment of his life. He was amazed to discover that his supposed rich friend was an imposter. As a matter of fact, he was as poor as a church rat. He worked as a scavenger and lived from hand to mouth. He actually rented the car he drove to the village to show off. The worst part of it was that he could not even afford to rent an apartment of his own.
