STRENGTHENING THE POOR 7

BUILD GOODWILL. one day a man died without much inheritance left for his children because he was poor. One of his child was bitter about it though he had trained them through all the level of education he could. one day, one of the sons went in search of a job and submitted his CV and was waiting outside the office with hundreds of people who have come for that same job. The CEO of the company came out himself to ask the throng of applicants who is Charles Obi, the boy reluctantly said, its him, so the man asked him to come in. are you the son of Mr Peter Obi, and he said 'yes' he is my father, but he is late now sir he added.
