THERE is a young brother in our midst who really needs some counselling and good advice, lest we soon watch his downfall before reaching the climax of his budding arts career.
Yours Truly is aware that good advice is rarely welcome, hence will not be surprised should this boy chooses to ignore the wise counsel targeted at him.
That, however, will not stop us from telling him the right thing to do. We just have to do our duty as community elders, and what he opts to do with the advice is all up to him. After all, you can only take a horse to the river, but cannot force it to drink water.
In case some could be wondering who exactly I am blabbering about. It is none other than the local youthful comedian-cum-singer, who has been trending in recent months.
This is the same young man who was given a singing platform by a very popular producer. His trade name is unmistakable as it has something to do with our former colonisers.
The same trade name also has something to do with a leadership role given to an infield player in most sporting disciplines.
Word reaching Yours Truly is that this young man has suddenly turned into a ladies’ man.
The sad thing is that these same ladies he dates confided in Yours Truly that he remembers to wear protection when it is almost dawn. To him, we can only say, always remember that money brings you the women you want, but struggle brings you the women you need.
The reason why gold-diggers trivialise relationships is because they do not know love, they only know money. In you, they only want the money, nothing more, nothing less.
We all know that when a man makes money, he feels like he wants more women, but when a woman makes money, she feels like she does not need a man.
Please focus on your career and concentrate on making better productions.
You are not yet there. You do not have money, in the real sense of having money. No, you don’t. You are not yet famous in the real sense of fame.
No you are not yet. Listen carefully, you shall be up there if you start and remain focused on your career.
Always remember that money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver
For the ladies that are surrounding you, this is not love at all, young man. Perhaps you are the only one who does not know that we now live in a world where some women get rich quickly through divorcing a rich man.
Open your eyes before it is too late.
I rest my case!
