I like to think I’m a chill person. In fact, I can count the number of times I have erupted in anger on the fingers of one hand (I think). So when in the unforgiving heat, dust and stress of the Abuja NYSC camp, 3 bullies tried to cut the line when it was my turn, I couldn’t help but spit lava. Instead of 3 little piggies against one big bad wolf, this was one little Korede against 3 big bad wolves. There’s a lesson somewhere in this about standing up to bullies. But not the way you think.

Stand up to bullies, yes, but you’d better be clear-headed about the odds against you. To every little piggy with lava in them.

Love,

Korede
