Dear God, may I never become an arrogant twat. It’s very easy to become an arrogant twat in Nigeria because there are so so many people who are not as well off as you and it’s easy to stamp all over them.

I still have to go back to my company and ask them that apart from us seeking killer strategies to making money, what are we doing about social responsibility. What kind of person will I become if I become so one sided as to only seek to make money and not seek to apply it to do some good? I’ll become a one dimensional arrogant twat that’s what. Thinking that all my good fortune was down to me and then you know the saying about pride and falling…

spot on! it is so easy to get carried away with the yummy banker erm naah flashy bankers and co in nigeria. when you are outside your see the suffering and arrogant ogas with drivers,cleaners....

good on you mate..i think it will be a good idea if you can do your own individually as well, as you know csr for big companies go through some sort of government-like bureaucracy, they end up having a party for their likes
