JEALOUSY ; AN EPIDEMIC, WITH GINA MENSAH; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL

I remember when gaining admission into the University was still a problem. I had a besty that was lucky to gain admission before me. Whenever I went to visit her, the mother would tell me she was not at home. My besty started giving me attitude. She even stopped coming to my house. I asked her what the problem was, she opened up and told me that the mother had Warned her to stop associating with me because I might not be happy she gained admission, while I was still at home.
Ah ! I cried Sha. Honestly It pained to the nerves.
Fast forward 5 years later, I have gained admission, and even graduated ; my besty was still in the University. It was a 5- Year course but she changed department and ended up spending 6 Years.
The mother saw me in the neighborhood shortly after graduation and asked if I was on holiday. Holiday ke? Ma, I have graduated. You can imagine the look on her face. To her, it was oxymoronic !

When you condemn a situation along with the person in the situation. You are only gambling.
In the end, the winner is always the person you condemned, the person you least expected.
