Who’s Next?

WELL, I AM  A Nigerian comedian by the name A.Y had this to say in an interactive section on radio when asked: “where have you been all this while that of a sudden you just came and change the game of comedy in Nigeria with your unique style?” He replied saying; “life is turn by turn”, meaning when you are next nothing can stop you, he then tagged it “Turn by Turn Nigeria Limited”…. For real, he has been in the game without recognition, when it was his turn to shine nothing could hold him bound. That is life…. We all have our turn. It is best for us to know the seasons of our life and maximize it.

Today I bring it to your notice that you have a stake in that company called “Turn by Turn Nigeria Limited” and God is the CEO; (FYI, the company sure pays dividend), He determines whose turn it is next. To think of it that there is someone that controls the universe, someone that is not a man and cannot lie, someone that cannot be unfaithful, someone that never fails, a friend that is just, merciful and gracious, a friend that would prefer the world to come to an end instead for an iota of his word to pass without confirmation. Wow! That person must be awesome indeed.

Times in life we feel like we are going through the worst of situations wait until you hear the stories of others; you will learn to be thankful for yours. Things may not be working at the moment, things are happening around you and you are almost looking like you are in this world just to observe because it is not happening in your life; don’t be dismay, your turn is sure. I have had experiences in delays: (before I got admission into the university and before I got a job), in the space of it I have lost about 4years; not too long, some would say, I was busy on the queue waiting for my turn, still everything is coming in good time. Not too long as said but others got theirs so cheaply, even if based on merit you count yourself worthy to have gotten a job before some of your friends that graduated with a third class because you obtained a first class; in the real world its not justifiable, the bible says time and chance happens to all. Yours might seem like taking forever, but have you considered it may be for a reason, which at the present may seem so unreasonable because of your present situations. I tell you I wouldn’t known how to compose this piece if I had not experienced it, those times are hard, but it is in the past now and there are things I know now that I wouldn’t have known if I got what I wanted then.
