 nonsense, I called this unemployed "lazy youth"; " look at you, how can you sit in front of your senior's house and like a supervisor watch him wash his car❓ Are you okay❓ Go and take the rag from him and do the washing. That is a way to attract favour."

 response was legendary. He smiled, (you know, like you don't understand...) then said to me; "okay sir, next time. If I go now it will be like, it is because you told me." I felt odd... What a value resistant generation we are raising and handing the baton of leadership to.

3 SCENARIOS.

1. 3 years ago, I got this request to mentor this citizen. At first, I was skeptical for obvious reasons because these days mentor, could read, sponsor. No doubt, as unwritten rule, your mentorship will affect your purse somehow. But when it becomes a norm,
