My understanding of the frailties of the human nature makes that I try not to judge people. Knowing that we all have weaknesses, I often wander what could have become of my life if my greatest weakness was women. May be by now, I could have slept with so many girls that the devil himself would have been proud of me.
Every human being under Heaven has one weakness or one bad habit. Even the Bible recognized this and called it "The sin that easily beset us" . But some people's weaknesses are worse than those of others. I often thank God that my greatest weakness is not women. That moment when you see how some men womanize to the extreme and you just have to be grateful that yours is not womanizing.
If you stand Agbani Darego or Kim Kardashian naked before me in a private room, nothing will happen. Behind each of these beautiful ladies, I will still be seeing the shadows of the Cross of calvary where Christ Jesus was crucified, why because I am not that vulnerable to the daughters of Eve with the wet opportunities they come along with.
Anyway, don't ask me what my greatest weakness is.
Some people, their weaknesses is in Alcohol, Money, Fashion, Women, Smoking, etc
Some men are addicted to alcohol. Give them money running into millions, they will account for it faithfully. But the moment you forget a bottle of Heineken around them, they will not account for it. Some guys drink so badly that even if they were to be dead, all you need to do is to just open their mouth and pour some Hero beer and they will stand up.
For some other people, they are vulnerable to women. If you are a man and you paint your lips, wear a mini skirt and put on a weavon, they will mistake you for a girl and run after you. A greater percentage of these men are the ones you see who still sleep around even when they are married to the most beautiful wives. A man will just see a well endowed woman with all the curves and his focus will disappear. He will start shaking, desiring nothing but an opportunity to take her to bed. It's that bad!
For some guys they smoke like chimneys. You see boys who not only smoke but chew Indian Hemp. The same Indian Hemp that makes people mad. If it's within their reach, they can pluck it fresh and suck the juice from the Hemp plant. Some others can't do without sticks of cigarettes.
One time ago at the Abia State University, a smoking competition was organized. Guys were blind folded. You were given different sticks of cigarette. You won't believe that by just puffing a cigarette smoke, these boys knew a particular brand of cigarette. And at the end, the competition had a winner who smoked and still identified 10 different cigarettes while being blind folded.
Some people can't just handle money. They don't drink or womanize but your money around them will grow wings. When they see money, they switch to the prodigal son mood.
For most women, it's fashion. They will never have enough. They have 25 shoes but they are buying more. One girl had 45 handbags during my NYSC days. If you are dating them, they keep pointing at a gift item in a kiosk shop even when you both are just returning from Shoprite.
In Nigeria, our national greatest weakness is the inability to deliver campaign promises. Leaders repeatedly keep failing. President Obasanjo's greatest weakness was unforgiveness. Ask the people of Zaki Ibiam and Udi in Bayelsa. President Yar Adua couldn't stop smoking. He could pause the Federal Executive Council meeting to go and smoke a stick of cigarette. President Jonathan's weakness was corruption. He couldn't stop his friends from looting our Commonwealth. Now, President Buhari's weakness is incompetence. The honest man doesn't agree he knows anything. He even said he didn't know he was 75, he didn't also know that his own Inspector General of Police wasn't in Benue to stop public massacre. The President will come out on national television to say he doesn't know anything!
Some people are struggling with pride, ingratitude, laziness. It's 10 am. You are 25 years only but you are still on the bed.
