OUR FRIEND, OJULOGE...
Ojuloge!!! What happened to you? When they advised you to
use what you have to get what you want, they were not talking about your
body.
I was so proud of you when I heard how far the ladder you
have climbed, all within these few years. In fact, I told all our friends about
your great achievement. I told them how much of an inspiration you are to all
those who dare to dream. Some of them
insisted you had to be sleeping with someone at the top, for that was the only
way you could rise so fast. I didn’t agree with them. Ojuloge! I defended you.
I insisted that our friend Ojuloge would never do that.
But you have shamed me Ojuloge!!!!!! You are sleeping with
your boss!!!!
Ojuloge, when did you become this person? Who told you that
sleeping with your boss is the way to achieve success? Why have you proved the
people who stereotype successful women right? You are such a beautiful and
smart woman, why did you stoop this low to use your femininity in such a despicable
manner.
He is even a married man, Ojuloge! Another woman’s husband!
And I know you will never take such. So, now that you are at the top, I hope
you are happy. Enjoy the ‘happiness,' enjoy the power this position gives you,
and enjoy warming your boss’ bed.
But never forget this! You see how fast you rose to the top?
You will be back at the bottom much faster than that. You see that married boss
of yours? He will not leave his wife for you; he will throw you out like
yesterday’s trash.
Oh No! My dear friend, I’m not cursing you, I’m just
delivering karma’s message. Oh! And karma also would like me to tell you that
frolicking with the boss will only get you to the top, just as it has, but it
won’t keep you there.
I hope you decide to change your ways Ojuloge. Stop enjoying
the ride that won’t take you to the right destination.
Nice one ,Tee . . .
ReplyDeleteTee.. The apt deliverer of Karma's message.nice one dear
ReplyDeleteDu courage T! Nice write up!
ReplyDeleteI fink the writer did a good delivery of the subject matter. However, I still feel there is a need to endear your readers to some of your piece.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece. Knowing you, I see the heavy influence of your personality. I feel the piece was a bit judgmental. For one, she might not have slept with her boss to get to the top. She might have because she admired him. It's still not right but this work place admiration thing happens a lot...
ReplyDeleteOjuloge appears to be like ‘Omoge’ of an earlier story I read here. But she’s different. Whereas Omoge needed to ‘grow up’ Ojuloge appears to know what she’s doing given that she knows, for instance, that her boss has a wife and she will not accept same. Perhaps, it is her desperation for success that is fueling this(?) Perhaps, she needs to attain the success as quickly as possible – maybe she lives by a different moral compass (the end justifies the means thingy…)? In any case, Ojuloge will do better that success might be attained by any means but something must sustain it: CHARACTER. I hope she heeds your counsel here with respect to Karma – it is a universal law of nature; for what goes around must surely come around. Ojuloge knows this – as she is smart - but she probably needs to be reminded as you have just trumpeted here.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
