The article titled, The foul spirit of more, written by Fola Ojo, which appeared on page 18 of The PUNCH Newspaper of Friday, May 6, 2022, is most interesting.

of Friday, May 6, 2022, is most interesting. Fola Ojo asserts, “Some are just greedy beings. Greed. Call it what you wish in any linguistic tongue of your choosing. Brand it what you want, it is known by sundry nomenclatures. Avarice. Avidity. Rapacity. Covetousness. They all descend from the same genre. The demonic desire to dig in for more. The zest to salivate for what you have no need for even when you have enough.

It surely cannot be argued that this foul spirit of more is a major cause of corruption in our country. How can we explain the stealing of billions of naira by an individual? Such incidence is common these days. So Fola Ojo is perfectly correct to describe it as demonic. There has been no satisfactory explanation and justification for the existence of evil on earth. And there cannot be.

The desire to do more, to get more, never to rest on our oars, is probably divinely ordained because stagnation is not only retrogression but it could lead and indeed does lead to death. For only in perpetual movement is radiant health and peace guaranteed. It is this unconscious awareness that one must continue to toil in order to be a useful link or member of this wonderful and wondrous creation that urges and pushes and pulls one to work unstoppably.

And yet, perhaps, it is easier said than done. How? It is an open secret that not uncommonly, many have turned against their benefactors to either harm or out rightly eliminate them. Such beneficiaries easily quickly forget how needy they were before they were supported to get out of a life of want and painful deprivations. Some even fail to show gratitude to the one who led them to the desired goal. When I say gratitude, it means simply saying thank you, not gift presentation.
